< Ester 4 >
1 Tango Maridoshe ayokaki makambo nyonso oyo elekaki, apasolaki bilamba na ye; alataki saki, amipakolaki putulu mpe atambolaki kati na engumba na koganga makasi mpe na mawa.
Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Motekiai ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai, naʻe haehae hono ngaahi kofu ʻe Motekiai, pea ʻai ʻae kofu tauangaʻa mo e efuefu, pea ʻalu ia kituʻa ki he loto kolo, pea tangi kalanga ia mo fakamamahi:
2 Bongo akendeki kino na liboso ya ekuke ya ndako ya mokonzi; pamba te moto moko te, wana alati saki lokola elamba, azalaki na ndingisa ya kokota na ekuke ya mokonzi.
Pea naʻe haʻu ia, ʻio, ki he mata ʻoe matapā ʻoe tuʻi: he naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke hū ha tokotaha ki ai kuo kofu ʻi he kofu tauangaʻa.
3 Kati na bituka nyonso epai wapi mitindo mpe mobeko ya mokonzi ezalaki kokoma, matanga monene ezalaki kati na Bayuda: bazalaki kokila bilei, kolela mpe koganga ya mawa; ebele bazalaki komitanda na basaki mpe na putulu.
Pea ko e potu puleʻanga kotoa pē naʻe hoko ki ai ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mamahi lahi ʻi he kakai Siu, mo e ʻaukai, mo e tangi, mo e tangilāulau; pea naʻe tokoto ʻae tokolahi ʻi he kofu tauangaʻa mo e efuefu.
4 Tango basi bawumbu ya Ester, mwasi ya Mokonzi, mpe basoda na ye, oyo baboma bango mokongo, bayebisaki Ester makambo oyo Maridoshe asalaki, Ester amitungisaki makasi. Atindelaki Maridoshe bilamba mpo ete alata yango mpe alongola basaki oyo alataki, kasi Maridoshe aboyaki.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau fefine ʻa Eseta mo ʻene kautauhi ʻo tala ia kiate ia. Pea naʻe mamahi lahi ʻaupito ai ʻae tuʻi fefine; pea ne fekau [ke ʻave ]ʻae ngaahi kofu ke fakakofuʻaki ʻa Motekiai, pea ke toʻo ʻo ʻave hono ngaahi kofu tauangaʻa meiate ia: ka naʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ia.
5 Ester abengisaki Ataki, moko kati na bakalaka ya lokumu, oyo baboma mokongo mpe mokonzi aponaki mpo na kosalela Ester; atindaki ye mpo na koyeba likambo oyo ezali kotungisa Maridoshe mpe tina nini azali komitungisa.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Eseta ke haʻu ʻa Hataki, ko e tokotaha ʻoe kau tangata tauhi ʻae tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ia ʻe he tuʻi ke tauhi ia, pea ne tuku kiate ia ʻae fekau kia Motekiai, ke ʻilo pe ko e hā ia, pea kuo tupu ʻi he hā.
6 Boye Ataki akendeki epai ya Maridoshe na etando ya engumba, epai wapi bato ebele bakutanaka, liboso ya ekuke ya ndako ya mokonzi.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Hataki kia Motekiai ki he hala lahi ʻoe kolo, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he mata ʻoe matapā ʻoe tuʻi.
7 Maridoshe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki ye, ata motuya ya mbongo oyo Amani alakaki kopesa na libenga ya bomengo ya mokonzi mpo ete baboma Bayuda.
Pea naʻe fakahā kiate ia ʻe Motekiai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo hoko kiate ia, pea mo e ngaahi paʻanga naʻe fakahā ʻe Hamani ke totongi ki he fale koloa ʻoe tuʻi koeʻuhi ko e kakai Siu, ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.
8 Maridoshe apesaki lisusu Ataki mokanda ya mobeko oyo mokonzi abimisaki, mpo ete ye Ataki alakisa yango epai ya Ester, alimbolela ye yango mpe akomisa epai ya Ester mitindo na ye ete Ester akende epai ya mokonzi mpo na kotungisa ye mpe kobondela mawa ya mokonzi mpo na bato na ye Ester; pamba te mokonzi asili kobimisa mobeko ya koboma Bayuda mpe sango na yango esili kopanzana kati na engumba Size.
Pea naʻa ne ʻatu foki kiate ia hono hiki ʻoe tohi ʻae fono naʻe fai ʻi Susani ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ke ne fakahā ia kia Eseta, pea ke fakahā ia kiate ia, pea ke fekau kiate ia ke ʻalu ia ki he tuʻi, ke fai ʻae hū kiate ia, pea ke fai ʻae kole ʻi hono ʻao maʻa hono kakai.
9 Tango Ataki azongaki mpe ayebisaki Ester makambo oyo Maridoshe alobaki,
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Hataki ʻo tala kia Eseta ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Motekiai.
10 Ester atindaki lisusu Ataki koloba na Maridoshe:
Pea naʻe toe lea ʻa Eseta kia Hataki, ʻo ne tuku kiate ia ʻae fekau kia Motekiai;
11 — Bakalaka nyonso ya mokonzi mpe bato ya bituka nyonso ya mokili ya mokonzi bayebi ete, kolanda mobeko, moto nyonso, azala mobali to mwasi, oyo akoti na lopango ya kati ya ndako ya mokonzi asengeli na kufa soki mokonzi abengisi ye te; mpe mobeko yango ezali kaka moko mpo na bato nyonso. Nzokande soki mokonzi asemboli epai ya moto yango lingenda ya wolo ya bokonzi na ye, akotikala na bomoi. Ngai sik’oyo, eleki mikolo tuku misato wuta babenga ngai mpo na kokende epai ya mokonzi; wuta mikolo wana, babenga ngai lisusu te.
“ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē ʻae tuʻi, mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku nau ʻilo, ke ʻilonga ha tokotaha, pe ko ha tangata pe ha fefine, ʻe hū ia ki he tuʻi ʻi he fale ʻi loto fale, pea naʻe ʻikai fekau, ʻoku ai ʻae fono pe taha ʻaʻana ke tāmateʻi ia, ka ko ia pe ʻe mafao atu ki ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻae tokotoko koula ke moʻui ai ia; pea kuo ʻikai ui au ke hū atu ki he tuʻi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu kuo hili ni.”
12 Tango bayebisaki Maridoshe makambo oyo Ester alobaki,
Pea naʻa nau tala kia Motekiai ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Eseta.
13 Maridoshe azongiselaki Ester: — Kokanisa te ete lokola ozali kati na ndako ya mokonzi, yo moko kaka nde okobika kati na Bayuda nyonso.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Motekiai ke tala kia Eseta, “ʻOua naʻa ke mahalo te ke muʻaki hao koe ʻi he kakai Siu kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi.
14 Pamba te soki yo okangi monoko na yo mpe olobi eloko moko te na tango oyo, lisungi mpe lobiko mpo na Bayuda ekowuta na esika mosusu; kasi yo mpe libota ya botata na yo, bokokufa. Kutu, nani ayebi soki tango mosusu ezali mpo na makambo ya boye nde okomaki na ndako ya mokonzi?
He kapau te ke mātuʻaki longo pe koe ʻi he kuonga ni, ʻe hoko ai ʻae fakaʻataʻatā mo e fakamoʻui ʻoe kakai Siu mei ha potu ʻe taha: ka ko koe mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamai ʻe fakaʻauha; pea ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi naʻa kuo ke hoko ai koe ki he puleʻanga koeʻuhi ko ha kuonga pehē ni?”
15 Ester atindelaki Maridoshe eyano oyo:
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe Eseta kiate kinautolu ke ʻave kia Motekiai ʻae tali ni,
16 — Kende kosangisa Bayuda nyonso oyo bazali na engumba Size. Bokila bilei mikolo misato mpo na ngai; butu mpe moyi, bolia mpe bomela eloko te. Ngai mpe nakokila bilei elongo na basi bawumbu na ngai ndenge moko na bino. Sima na yango kaka nde nakokende epai ya mokonzi atako nakobuka mobeko. Soki mpe nakokufa, nakufa kaka!
“ʻAlu pea fakakātoa fakataha ʻae ngaahi Siu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi Susani, pea ke mou ʻaukai koeʻuhi ko au, pea ʻoua naʻa mou kai pe inu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, [ʻi he pō], pe [ʻi he ]ʻaho: Ko au mo ʻeku kau fefine te mau ʻaukai foki: pea ko ia te u hū ai ki he tuʻi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai taau mo e fono: pea kapau te u mate ai, te u mate pē.”
17 Maridoshe akendeki mpe asalaki makambo nyonso oyo Ester atindaki ye.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Motekiai ʻi hono hala, pea fai ia ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau kotoa pē ʻa Eseta kiate ia.
