1 Hagi 12fu ikana Adarie nehaza ikamofo 13ni kna zupa kini ne'mo'ma huno Jiu vahera zamahe vagaregahaze hu'neana, ete rukrahe hu'za Jiu vahe'mo'za ha' vahe'zmia zamahe'naze.

Kwathi ngenyanga yetshumi lambili, eyinyanga uAdari, ngosuku lwetshumi lantathu lwayo, sekusondele ilizwi lenkosi lomlayo wayo ukuthi kwenziwe, ngosuku izitha zamaJuda ezazithemba ukuwabusa ngalo, kwaguquka, ngoba amaJuda ngokwawo abusa kwababewazonda.

2 Hagi Jiu vahe'mo'za maka kumatmimpina ha'ma huzmante'nia vahe'ma nona hu'za ha'ma huzmante'nagu eritru hu'za mani'naze. Hianagi mago'mo'e huno hara huozmante'naze. Na'ankure maka vahe'mo'za Jiu vahekura tusi koro hu'naze.

AmaJuda abuthana emizini yawo kuzo zonke izabelo zenkosi uAhasuwerusi ukwelulela isandla kulabo ababedinge ukulinyazwa kwawo; njalo kakho owayengema phambi kwawo, ngoba ukwesabeka kwawo kwakwehlele bonke abantu.

3 Higeno mago mago provinsifima zamagima me'nea vahe'mo'zane, ranra kva vahe'mo'zane, gavana vahe'mo'zane, kini ne'mofo agi'ma eri'za ru kumate'ma nemaniza kva vahe'mo'zanena Jiu vahetega ante'naze. Na'ankure zamagra tusiza hu'za Modekainkura korora hu'naze.

Zonke-ke iziphathamandla zezabelo, lezikhulu, lababusi, labenzi bomsebenzi inkosi eyayilabo, basiza amaJuda, ngoba ukwesabeka kukaModekhayi kwakubehlele.

4 Na'ankure Modekaina kini ne'mo'a ragi amino avregeno kini ne'mofo kumapi umanigeno, agi agenkemo'a maka kaziga haruharu higeno, maka kna tusi himamu'ane ne' efore hu'ne.

Ngoba uModekhayi wayemkhulu endlini yenkosi, lodumo lwakhe lwahamba kuzo zonke izabelo, ngoba lindoda uModekhayi yaqhubeka ikhula.

5 Hagi Jiu vahe'mo'za ha'marezmantea vahera bainati kazinteti maka zamahe hana nehu'za, ha'marezmantea vahera na'anoma huzmante'naku'ma haza zana amne huzmante'naze.

Ngakho amaJuda atshaya phakathi kwezitha zawo zonke ngokutshaya kwenkemba lokubulala lokubhubhisa, enza ngabazondi bawo ngokwentando yawo.

6 Hagi hanave vihuma hugagi'naza Susa rankumapina 500'a vahe Jiu vahe'mo'za zamahe fri'naze.

EShushani isigodlo amaJuda asebulala abhubhisa abantu abangamakhulu amahlanu,

7 Ana nehu'za Parsandatama, Dalfonima, Aspatama,

loParishanidatha, loDalifoni, loAsiphatha,

8 Poratama, Adaliama, Aridatama,

loPoratha, loAdaliya, loAridatha,

9 Parmastama, Arisaima, Aridaima, Vaizatama hu'za,

loParimashita, loArisayi, loAridayi, loVayizatha.

10 Jiu vahe'ma ha'marenentea ne' Hamedata nemofo Hemanina 10ni'a ne' mofavreramina zamahe fri hana hu'naze. Hianagi Jiu vahe'mo'za anama zamahaza vahe'mofo fenona e'ori'naze.

Amadodana alitshumi kaHamani indodana kaHamedatha, isitha samaJuda, awabulala; kodwa kawelulelanga isandla sawo empangweni.

11 Hagi ana kna zupama hankave vihuma hugagi'naza Susa rankumapima vahe'ma zamahaza agenkea kini ne'ma ome asamizageno'a,

Ngalolosuku inani lababulawayo eShushani isigodlo lafika phambi kwenkosi.

12 kini ne'mo'a anage huno kuini a' Estana asami'ne, Hanave vihuma hugagi'naza Susa rankumapina 500'a vahe'ene 10ni'a Hemani ne'mofavreraminena Jiu vahe'mo'za zamahaze. Hagi e'ina'ma ama kumapima hazana mago'a kumapina hago rama'a vahe zamahe fri'negahaze. Hianagi menina na'anku mago'enena kavenesifi nantahigege'na kami'neno? Nazankuroma nantahima kesana zana amne kamigahuanki nasamio.

Inkosi yasisithi kuEsta indlovukazi: EShushani isigodlo amaJuda abulele abhubhisa abantu abangamakhulu amahlanu lamadodana alitshumi kaHamani. Enzeni kwezinye izabelo zenkosi? Siyini-ke isicelo sakho? Njalo uzasinikwa. Siyini-ke isifiso sakho futhi? Njalo sizakwenziwa.

13 Higeno Esta'a kenona huno, Kini ne'mokama antahi'nanama knare'ma hina musema hanunka, menima hankezama hazaza hunka, okina Susa kumate'ma mani'naza Jiu vahetmina huizo huzmantege'za vahera nezamahe'za, Hemanina 10ni'a ne'mofavreramina zafare zamavufaga'a eri'za hantiho.

UEsta wasesithi: Uba kulungile enkosini kawavunyelwe amaJuda aseShushani ukwenza lakusasa njengokomthetho walamuhla; lamadodana alitshumi kaHamani kabawalengise egodweni.

14 Anage higeno kini ne'mo'a ana hiho nehuno, kasege retro hige'za Hemanina 10ni'a ne'mofavreramina zafare zamavufaga'a eri'za hanti'naze.

Inkosi yasisithi kwenziwe njalo; kwasekunikwa umthetho eShushani, lamadodana alitshumi kaHamani bawalengisa.

15 Ana nehu'za Adarie nehaza ikamofona 14ni zupa Jiu vahe'mo'za mago'ene 300'a vahe Susa rankumapina zamahe'nazanagi, kote'ma zamahe'naza vahetmimofo fenoma e'ori'nazaza hu'za e'ori'naze.

AmaJuda eyeseShushani asebuthana futhi ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga uAdari, abulala abantu abangamakhulu amathathu eShushani; kodwa kawelulelanga isandla sawo empangweni.

16 Hagi ana'ma nehazageno'a kini ne'mo'ma ruga'ama kegavama hu'nea provinsifima nemani'za Jiu vahe'mo'za emeri atru hu'za zamagranena hahu'za zamagra'a zamagu'vazi'naze. E'inama hazafina ha'marezmantea vahetmina 75tauseni'a vahe zamahe fri'naze. Hianagi zamagranena anama zamahe friza vahe'mokizmi fenozana e'ori'naze.

Amanye kumaJuda ayesezabelweni zenkosi abuthana-ke amela impilo yabo, aphumula ezitheni zawo, abulala kwabawazondayo izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu; kodwa kawelulelanga isandla sawo empangweni.

17 Hagi Adarie nehaza ikamofona 13ni zupa, e'i ana zana hu'za vahera zamahete'za, 14ni knazupa manigsa hu'za mani'ne'za tusi ne'za kre'za nene'za musenkasea hu'naze.

Kwakungosuku lwetshumi lantathu lwenyanga uAdari. Asephumula ngolwetshumi lane lwayo, alwenza lwaba lusuku lwedili lentokozo.

18 Hianagi Susama nemaniza Jiu vahe'mo'za 13nine 14ni kna zupaga ha' vahezminena hara hute'za, 15ni kna zupa tusi ne'za kre'za nene'za musena hu'naze.

Kodwa amaJuda aseShushani abuthana ngolwetshumi lantathu lwayo langolwetshumi lane lwayo; asephumula ngolwetshumi lanhlanu lwayo, alwenza lwaba lusuku lwedili lentokozo.

19 E'ina agafare osi kumatmimpima nemaniza Jiu vahe'mo'za Adariema nehaza ikamofona 14ni knazupa manigasa hu'za ne'zana kre'za nene'za musenkasea hu'za musezana omi ami nehaze.

Ngenxa yalokhu amaJuda emaphandleni ahlala emizini emaphandleni enza usuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga uAdari lwaba ngolwentokozo ledili, losuku oluhle, lolokuthumelana izabelo.

20 Higeno Modekai'a ama ana zamofo agenkea avontafepi kreno kini ne' Serksisi'ma mika kegavama hu'nea provinsifima nemaniza Jiu vahetmintega atregeno vuno eno hu'ne.

UModekhayi wasezibhala lezizinto, wathumela izincwadi kuwo wonke amaJuda ayekuzo zonke izabelo zenkosi uAhasuwerusi, aseduze lakhatshana,

21 Hagi ana avona kreno Adari ikamofona 14nine 15ni kna zupaga maka kafufina ne'zama kreta neneta musenkasema hu kna erinteho.

ukumisa phakathi kwabo ukwenza usuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga uAdari losuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwayo kuwo wonke umnyaka ngomnyaka,

22 Hagi e'i ana knarera ne'za kreta neneta musenkase nehuta, musezana omi ami nehuta, zamunte omne vahetaminena ana huzmanteho. E'ina huta knazampinti'ene ha' vahetimofo zamazampinti'ene tasunku zampinti'ma atreta atiramita e'nona zankura antahimigahune.

njengokwensuku amaJuda aphumula ngazo ezitheni zawo, lenyanga eyaphendulwa kuwo kusuka osizini kusiya kuntokozo, lekulileni kube lusuku oluhle, azenze zibe zinsuku zedili lentokozo, lezokuthumelana izabelo, lezipho kubayanga.

23 Ana hige'za Jiu vahe'mo'za hu'za, Amama eri agafama hu'nazana hu vava huta vugahune nehu'za, Modekaia'ma hiankegura mago zamarimpa hu'naze

AmaJuda emukela lokho ayesekuqalile ukukwenza, lalokho uModekhayi ayewabhalele khona.

24 Na'ankure korapara Agati ne' Hamedata nemofo Hemani'a Jiu vahe zamahe hana hunaku antahintahia retro hu'neane. Ana antahintahima retro'ma nehuno'a, purie nehaza satu zokago reno ke'negu anara hu'naze.

Ngoba uHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi, isitha sawo wonke amaJuda, wayecebe mayelana lamaJuda ukuwachitha, waphosa iPuri, eyinkatho, ukuwachoboza lokuwabhubhisa.

25 Hianagi kini ne'mofo avugama Esta'ma ne-egeno'a, Jiu vahetmima zamahenaku'ma Hemanima kefo antahi'zama retro'ma hu'neana, eri arukrahe hu'za agri ahe fri'naze. Ana nehu'za 10ni'a ne'mofavre'a zamahe'za zafare hanti'naze.

Kodwa lapho uEsta efika phambi kwenkosi, yalaya ngencwadi ukuthi icebo lakhe elibi ayelicebe ngamaJuda libuyele ekhanda lakhe; basebebalengisa yena lamadodana akhe egodweni.

26 E'ina agafare ne'zama kre'za nene'za musema nehaza knagura Purimie hu'za satu zokago agire asamre'naze.

Ngenxa yalokhu babiza lezozinsuku ngokuthi iPurimi ngebizo lePuri. Ngenxa yalokhu, ngenxa yawo wonke amazwi aleyoncwadi, lababekubonile mayelana lalokho, lokwakubehlele,

27 E'ina avu'ava zana Jiu vahe'mo'za kasege eri retro hazageno zamagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahete'ene ru vahe'mo'zama Jiu vahe'enema mani'naku'ma hanaza vahete'enena kasegegna huno me'nena avaririgahaze. Hagi Jiu vahe'mo'za huama hu'za, maka kafua mani okanegosunanki ama ana tare knarera ne'zana kreta neneta musena hugahune hu'za hu'naze.

amaJuda amisa azemukelela wona lenzalo yawo labo bonke abazihlanganisa lawo, ukuze bangeqi, ukugcina lezinsuku ezimbili, njengokombhalo wazo, lanjengokwesikhathi sazo esimisiweyo, kuwo wonke umnyaka lomnyaka,

28 E'ina hu'negu mago mago nagapinti'ma forehu anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mo'za maka kumatmimpina ama ana tare knarareke ne'zana kre'za nene'za musenkase hutere hu'za vugahaze. Hagi maka kafufina ama ana Purimi knama fore'ma hanige'za, mika Jiu vahe'mo'za zamageraokani manigasa antahitere hugahaze.

ukuthi lezinsuku zikhunjulwe zigcinwe kuso sonke isizukulwana lesizukulwana, usapho losapho, isabelo ngesabelo, lomuzi ngomuzi, ukuthi lezinsuku zePurimi zingeqiwa phakathi kwamaJuda, lesikhumbuzo sazo singapheli enzalweni yawo.

29 Ana higeno Abihaili mofa kuini a' Esta'ene Modekaike henka mago avona kreke Purimi knama kegava hu nanekea eri hankaveti'na'e.

UEsta indlovukazi, indodakazi kaAbihayili, loModekhayi umJuda, basebebhala ngamandla wonke ukuqinisa lincwadi yesibili yePurimi.

30 Ana huteke ha'zama omnesige'za zamarimpa fruma hu'zama mani'naza nanekema kre'na'a avontafera 127ni'a provinsima kini ne' Serksisi'ma kegavama hu'nea kumatmimpima Jiu vahe'ma nemanizarega atrakeno vuno eno hu'ne.

Wasethumela izincwadi kuwo wonke amaJuda ezabelweni ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa zombuso kaAhasuwerusi, amazwi okuthula leqiniso,

31 Hagi Jiu ne' Modekai'ene kuini a' Esta'enema hu'na'a kante ante'za ana avoma kre atrakeno vuno eno'ma hia avomo'a Purimi knama ne-esige'zama kegavama hana zamofo ke eri hankaveti'ne. Hige'za Jiu vahe'mo'za ne'zama a'oma hu'za zavi krafama hu'naza zanku nentahi'za zamagragu'ene zamagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahe'enenku hu'za ana knamo'a meno vugahie hu'za eri hankaveti'naze.

ukuqinisa lezinsuku zePurimi ngezikhathi zazo ezimisiweyo njengokumisa phezu kwawo kukaModekhayi umJuda loEsta indlovukazi, lanjengokuzimisela kwawo wona lenzalo yawo, indaba zokuzila ukudla lokukhala kwawo.

32 Hagi Purimi knama kegava hu kasegema kuini a' Esta'ma eri hanavetigeno kasegema fore'ma hu'nea agenkea ranra zantamima fore'ma nehige'za krenentaza avontafepi krentazageno me'ne.

Ilizwi likaEsta laseliqinisa lezizindaba zePurimi; kwasekubhalwa egwalweni.
