1 Sima na makambo oyo, mokonzi Kizerisesi apesaki lokumu epai ya Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, moto ya mboka Agagi; atombolaki ye mpe atiaki ye likolo ya bakalaka nyonso.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni naʻe fakahikihiki ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo ʻa Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata ko e tangata Ekaki, mo ne hakeakiʻi ia, pea ʻai hono nofoʻa ke māʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi houʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia.
2 Bakalaka nyonso oyo bazalaki kosala na ndako ya mokonzi bakomaki kofukama mpe kopesa Amani lokumu, pamba te mokonzi atindaki ete basala bongo mpo na ye. Kasi Maridoshe azalaki kofukamela ye te mpe azalaki kopesa ye lokumu te.
Pea naʻe punou ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi, ʻonau fakaʻapaʻapa kia Hamani: he naʻe pehē pe ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻiate ia. Ka naʻe ʻikai punou ʻa Motekiai, pe fai fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia.
3 Bakalaka oyo bazalaki kosala na ndako ya mokonzi batunaki Maridoshe: — Mpo na nini otosaka mitindo ya mokonzi te?
Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he matapā ʻae tuʻi kia Motekiai, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke talangataʻa ai ki he fekau ʻae tui?”
4 Bazalaki koloba na ye bongo mikolo nyonso, kasi Maridoshe azalaki kaka koboya koyoka bango. Boye, bayebisaki Amani makambo yango mpo na koyeba soki ezaleli ya Maridoshe ekondimama mpe soki akokangama kaka na maloba na ye, pamba te ayebisaki bango ete azali Moyuda.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau lea kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻikai tokanga ia kiate kinautolu, naʻa nau [toki ]tala ia kia Hamani, ke vakai, pe ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae anga ʻa Motekiai: he naʻa ne tala kiate kinautolu ko e Siu ia.
5 Tango Amani asosolaki ete Maridoshe afukamelaka ye te mpe apesaka ye lokumu te, asilikaki makasi.
Pea ʻi he vakai ʻa Hamani naʻe ʻikai punou ʻa Motekiai, pe fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia, naʻe pito ai ʻa Hamani ʻi he ʻita.
6 Nzokande Amani asilaki koyoka ete Maridoshe azali Moyuda. Boye amonaki ete likanisi ya koboma kaka Maridoshe ekoki te; alukaki nzela ya koboma Bayuda nyonso, bato ya Maridoshe, kati na mokili mobimba ya mokonzi Kizerisesi.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ko e meʻa noa pē ke ala kia Motekiai tokotaha pē: he naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae kakai ʻo Motekiai: ko ia naʻe tokanga ʻe Hamani ke fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi Siu kotoa pē ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo ʻAhasivelo, ʻio, ko e kakai ʻo Motekiai.
7 Na sanza ya liboso, sanza ya Nisani, na mobu ya zomi na mibale ya Mokonzi Kizerisesi, babetaki zeke oyo babengaka « Puri » liboso ya Amani mpo na kopona mokolo mpe sanza ya koboma Bayuda. Bongo zeke ekweyaki na sanza ya zomi na mibale, sanza ya Adari.
ʻI he ʻuluaki māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko Nisani, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻoe pule ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, naʻa nau lī ʻa Puli, ʻaia ko e talotalo, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Hamani, ʻi he ʻaho hokohoko pe, pea mei he māhina ki he māhina, ʻo hoko ki hono hongofulu ma ua ʻae māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko ʻAtali.
8 Amani alobaki na mokonzi Kizerisesi: — Ezali na bato moko oyo bakeseni na bato mosusu, bapanzani kati na bato mpe kati na bituka nyonso ya mokili na yo ya bokonzi; bizaleli na bango ekeseni na bizaleli ya bato mosusu, bongo batosaka mibeko ya mokonzi te; ezali malamu te mpo na mokonzi kotika bango na kimia.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hamani ki he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, “ʻOku ai ʻae kakai ʻe taha kuo movetevete mamaʻo atu ʻo nofo tuku fakaholo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo ho puleʻanga; pea ʻoku kehe ʻenau ngaahi fono ʻi he kakai kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ʻikai foki te nau tokanga ki he ngaahi fono ʻae tuʻi: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ki he tuʻi ke kātaki ʻakinautolu.
9 Soki esepelisi mokonzi, tika ete abimisa mobeko ya koboma bango; mpe ngai nakopesa na maboko ya bakalaka oyo batalaka makambo ya mokonzi mbongo ya bibende ya palata nkoto zomi mpo ete batia yango kati na libenga ya mokonzi.
Kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke tohi koeʻuhi ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: pea te u totongi ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku tuku ki ai ʻae ngāue ni, ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe taha mano, ke ʻomi ki he ngaahi fale koloa ʻoe tuʻi.”
10 Mokonzi alongolaki lopete na ye na mosapi na ye mpe apesaki yango epai ya Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, moto ya mboka Agagi, monguna ya Bayuda.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he tuʻi hono mama mei hono nima, pea ne foaki ia kia Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata ko e tangata Ekaki, ko e fili ʻoe kakai Siu.
11 Mokonzi alobaki na Amani: — Bomba palata na yo! Sala nyonso oyo olingi epai ya bato yango.
Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Hamani, “Kuo foaki ʻae siliva kiate koe, mo e kakai foki, ke ke fai kiate kinautolu ʻaia ʻoku mata lelei kiate koe.”
12 Boye, na mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya liboso, babengisaki bakomi mikanda ya mokonzi; mpe na mitindo ya Amani, bakomaki mitindo nyonso ya Amani epai ya bakalaka ya lokumu ya mokonzi, epai ya bayangeli ya etuka moko na moko mpe epai ya bakalaka ya ekolo moko na moko, kolanda lolenge ya kokoma ya etuka moko na moko mpe lokota ya ekolo moko na moko. Bakomaki yango na kombo ya mokonzi Kizerisesi mpe babetaki yango kashe ya mokonzi.
Pea naʻe toki ui ke fakataha ʻae kau tangata tohi ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono hongofulu ma tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, pea naʻe tohi ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Hamani ki he kau matāpule mo e kau pule fonua ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea ki he kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau mo e tohi ʻo ia, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo taau mo ʻenau lea: naʻe tohi ia ʻi he huafa ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, pea fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae mama ʻoe tuʻi.
13 Bongo mikanda yango etindamaki na bituka nyonso ya mokonzi, na nzela ya bantoma, mpo na kobebisa, koboma mpe kolimwisa Bayuda nyonso, bilenge mpe mikolo, bana mpe basi, kaka na mokolo moko, mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya zomi na mibale, sanza ya Adari; mpe kobotola na makasi biloko na bango.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻi he kau ʻave tohi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi, ke maumau, ke tāmateʻi, mo fakaʻauha, ʻae kakai Siu kotoa pē, ʻae iiki mo e motuʻa, ʻae tamaiki iiki, mo e kau fefine, ʻi he ʻaho pe taha, ʻio, ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe hongofulu mā tolu ʻi hono hongofulu mā ua ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko ʻAtali, pea ke faʻao ʻae vete ʻanautolu.
14 Basengelaki kopanza kati na bituka nyonso sango ya mobeko yango mpe kolakisa yango na bato ya bikolo nyonso mpo ete babongama mpo na mokolo wana.
Ko hono hiki ʻoe tohi ko e fekau ke ʻatu ki he puleʻanga kehekehe kotoa pē, naʻe fakahā atu ki he kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau tali teu pe ki he ʻaho ko ia.
15 Boye, na mitindo ya mokonzi, bantoma bakendeki na lombangu mpe bapanzaki kati na Size, engumba mokonzi, sango ya mobeko ya mokonzi. Wana mokonzi mpe Amani bavandaki mpo na komela masanga, engumba Size ezalaki kati na matanga.
Naʻe ʻalu atu kituaʻā ʻae kau ʻave tohi, he naʻe fakavavevave ia ʻe he fekau ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe fai ʻae fono ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki. Pea naʻe nofo hifo ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ke inu: ka naʻe maveuveu ʻae kolo ko Susani.
