Estera 2
1 Ie añe, naho fa nanintsiñe ty fiforoforoa’ i Akasverose mpanjaka, le nitiahi’e t’i Vastý, i nanoa’ey vaho i nandiliañe azey.
Emva kokuba ukuthukuthela kweNkosi u-Ahasuweru sekudedile, yamkhumbula uVashithi kanye lalokho ayekwenzile, lalokho okwakumenyezelwe ngaye.
2 Le hoe o mpitoro’ i mpanjakay niatrak’ azeo: Ehe te ho tsoeheñe ho a i mpanjakay ty somondrara soa vintañe t’ie isaheñe;
Izinceku zenkosi zasezisithi kuyo, “Akudingelwe inkosi amantombazana agcweleyo, amahle.
3 le ehe te hanendre sorotà amo hene fifeleha’ i fifehea’eio i mpanjakay hanontonañe an-drova’ i Sosane atoy, añ’ anjomban-drakemba ao, ambane’ ty lili’ i Hegè, mpiatrak’ i mpanjakay, mpañambeñe o ampelao, ze fonga somondrara tsomerentsereñe ho tolorañe ze paia’e ho ami’ty fihaminañe;
Inkosi kayikhethe iziphathamandla kuzozonke izabelo zombuso wayo ukuthi zilethe wonke amantombazana amahle endlini yabesifazane esigodlweni saseSusa. Bafakwe ezandleni zikaHegayi, umthenwa wenkosi, okhangele abesifazane; zilungiswe kuhle njalo ziphiwe amakha okuziqhola.
4 vaho ty somondrara tea’ i mpanjakay ty ho mpanjaka-ampela handimbe i Vastý. Nitea’ i mpanjakay i entañey le nanoe’e.
Besekusithi intombi ethokozisa inkosi ibe yiNdlovukazi esikhundleni sikaVashithi.” Iseluleko lesi sayithokozisa inkosi, yasisilandela.
5 Teo t’i nte-Iehoda an-drova’ i Sosane ao, i Mordekay, ana’ Iaire, ana’ i Simeý, ana’ i Kise, ana’ i Beniamine ty tahina’e;
Kwakukhona esigodlweni saseSusa umJuda owendlu yakoBhenjamini, okwakuthiwa nguModekhayi, indodana kaJayiri, indodana kaShimeyi, indodana kaKhishi,
6 amo nendeseñe boak’ Ierosalaimeo, o nasese an-drohy nindre am’ Iekonià mpanjaka’ Iehodao, o nasese’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele mb’eoo.
owayethunjwe eJerusalema nguNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, kanye loJekhoniya inkosi yakoJuda wayephakathi kwabathunjwayo.
7 Le nibeize’e t’i Hadasae, natao Estere, anak’ ampelan-drahalahin-drae’e; fa bode-rae naho tsy aman-drene naho nisoa vintañe vaho trenotreno’e i somondraray; aa kanao fa nihomake ty rae’e naho i rene’e le rinambe’ i Mordekay re ho anak’ ampela’e.
UModekhayi wayelomzawakhe okwakuthiwa nguHadasa, amondla ngoba engelayise lonina. Intombazana le yayisaziwa langokuthi ngu-Esta, yayibukeka kakhulu, inhle njalo uModekhayi wayeyondle njengendodakazi yakhe ize ifelwe nguyise lonina.
8 Aa ie jinanjiñe ty lily naho tsei’ i mpanjakay, le natontoñe an-drova’ i Sosane ao ty somondrara maro ambane’ ty fifehea’ i Hegey; le nampihovaeñe añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay, ambane’ i Hegè mpañambeñe o somondrarao, ka t’i Estere.
Kwathi umlayo wenkosi kanye lesimiso sekumenyezelwe, amantombazana amanengi alethwa esigodlweni saseSusa afakwa ezandleni zikaHegayi. U-Esta laye wathathwa wasiwa esigodlweni sobukhosi wanikelwa ngaphansi kukaHegayi, owayelinda indawo yabesifazane.
9 Le nahafale aze i somondraray, le nahaoniña’e tretre, le nitolora’e aniany ze nipaiaeñe amy fañaliova’ey naho o faha’eo vaho ty somondrara fito nañeva boak’ añ’ anjombam-panjaka ao; le nasì’e mb’amy toetse soay re rekets’ i mpiatra’e rey.
Intombazana le yamthokozisa wayithanda. Wahle wayinika okokuzilungisa kuhle lamakha okuziqhola kanye lokudla okuhle. Wayipha amantombazana ayisikhombisa okuyisebenzela ayekhethwe esigodlweni senkosi, wayisusa kanye lamantombazana ayo, wabafaka endaweni yabesifazane enhle kakhulu.
10 Tsy naboa’ i Estere ondati’eo ndra i toñon-droae’ey, fa nafanto’ i Mordekay ama’e te tsy ho volañe’e.
U-Esta wayengavezanga ukuthi udabuka ngaphi lembali yemuli yakibo, ngoba uModekhayi wayethe angakwenzi lokho.
11 Le nidraidraitse aolon-kiririsan’ anjomban-drakemba eo boak’ andro t’i Mordekay handrendreke i Estere naho ze nanoañe.
Insuku zonke uModekhayi wayehamba eduzane leguma lendlu yabesifazane ukuze ezwe ukuba u-Esta uqhuba njani lokuthi uyaphila na.
12 Nitsatoke ho a o somondrarao te sindre hiheo añatrefa’ i Akasverose mpanjaka eo naho fa heneke ty volañe folo-ro’ amby ty amy lilin-tsomondraray (fa Izay ty nahaheneke o androm-piliovañeo, toe enem-bolañe an-tsolike rame naho enem-bolañe ami’ty mañidè naho o soli-drakemba ila’eo),
Intombi yayiqeda izinyanga eziyisithupha igcotshwa, ilungiswa kuhle njalo iqholwa ngamakha njengalokho okwakulungiselelwa abesifazane; izinyanga eziyisithupha igcotshwa ngamafutha emure lezinye eziyisithupha iqholwa ngamakha lokunye okokuqhola, ingakayi eNkosini u-Ahasuweru.
13 Zao ty niheova’ ty somondrara mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo; natolotse aze ndra inoñ’ inoñe paiae’e hindeseñe boak’ amy anjomban-drakembay mb’ amy anjomba’ i mpanjakay mb’eo.
Indlela intombi eyayisiya ngayo enkosini yile: loba yini intombi eyayiyifuna yayikuphiwa ukuze ihambe lakho esigodlweni senkosi isuka endlini yabesifazane.
14 Nizilik’ ao re te hariva, le niavotse mb’añ’ anjomba faharoe’ o roakembao mb’eo te loak’ andro, ho ambane’ ty fifehea’ i Sasgaze, mpiatra’ i mpanjakay, mpañambeñe o sakezao; le tsy niheo mb’amy mpanjakay ka re naho tsy te nitea’e vaho nikanjie’e ami’ty añara’e.
Ntambama yayisiya esigodlweni kuthi ekuseni ibuyele kweyinye indawo yabesifazane iyelondolozwa nguShahashigazi, umthenwa wenkosi owayegcina abafazi beceleni. Wayengabuyeli enkosini ngaphandle kokuba yona ithokoza ngaye njalo imbize ngebizo lakhe.
15 Ie nitsatok’ amy Estere, ana’ i Abihaile, rahalahin-drae’ i Mordekay nandrambe aze ho ana’ey, ty himoak’ amy mpanjakay, le tsy ino ty nipaia’e naho tsy ze natoro’ i Hege, mpiatra’ i mpanjakay, mpañamben-droakembay. Le nahaonim-pañisohañe am-pihaino’ ze hene nahaisak’ aze t’i Estere.
Kwathi lapho ithuba lika-Esta (intombazana eyayondliwe nguModekhayi, indodakazi kamalumakhe u-Abhihayili) selifikile ukuthi aye enkosini, kacelanga lutho ngaphandle kwalokho okwakukhulunywe nguHegayi, umthenwa wenkosi owayelondoloza abesifazane. U-Esta wathakazelelwa yibo bonke abambonayo.
16 Aa le nasese mb’amy Akasverose mpanjaka mb’añ’ anjombam-panjaka mb’eo amy volam-pahafolo, volam-balasira, taom-pahafitom-pifehea’ey t’i Estere.
U-Esta wasiwa enkosini ngenyanga yetshumi, inyanga yeThebhethi, ngomnyaka wesikhombisa wokubusa kweNkosi u-Ahasuweru.
17 Le nikokoa’ i mpanjakay mandikoatse ze somondrara iaby t’i Estere, ie nahaonim-pañisohañe naho fitretrezañe am-pahaisaha’e eo ambone’ o somondrara iabio, aa le nasampe’e an-doha’e eo i sabakam-pifeheañey, le nanoe’e mpanjaka-ampela handimbe i Vastý.
Inkosi yakhangwa ngu-Esta kakhulukazi okwedlula abanye bonke abesifazane, njalo yamthakazelela yathokoza ngaye okwedlula zonke ezinye izintombi ezigcweleyo. Ngakho yamethesa umqhele wobukhosi yamenza waba yindlovukazi endaweni kaVashithi.
18 Le nanao betitake, ty takataka’ i Estere, ho a ze hene roandria’e naho mpitoro’e i mpanjakay; le nampitofa’e o fifelehañeo vaho nitolora’e falalàñe mañeva ty vara’ i mpanjakay.
Inkosi yasisenza idili elikhulu kakhulu, idili lika-Esta, isenzela izikhulu kanye leziphathamandla zayo. Yamemezela usuku lwekhefu kuzozonke izabelo, yapha lezipho ngesandla esikhululekileyo sobukhosi.
19 Ie natontoñe fañindroe’e o somondrarao le niambesatse an-dalambeim-panjaka eo t’i Mordekay.
Kwathi izintombi ezigcweleyo sezihlangene okwesibili, uModekhayi wayehlezi esangweni lenkosi.
20 Mbe tsy vinola’ i Estere ty filongoa’e ndra ondati’eo, namantoha’ i Mordekaiy; fa mbe nañorike ty lili’ i Mordekay t’i Estere manahake tamy nañabeiza’ey.
U-Esta wayekwenze kwaba yimfihlo okwemuli yakhe lalapho adabuka khona njengokutshelwa kwakhe nguModekhayi ukuba akwenze, njalo waqhubeka elandela imilayo kaModekhayi njengalokhu ayekwenza esamkhulisa.
21 Tamy andro rezay, ie niambesatse an-dalambei’ i mpanjakay t’i Mordekay; le niboseke t’i Bigtane naho i Terese, roe amo mpiatra’ i mpanjakaio, mpañambeñe i lalañey, ie nikilily hampipao-pitàñe amy Akasverose mpanjaka.
Ngesikhathi uModekhayi ehlezi esangweni lenkosi, abathenwa benkosi ababili ababelinda emnyango, uBhigithani loThereshi, bathukuthela baceba ukuyibulala inkosi u-Ahasuweru.
22 Fe nioni’ i Mordekay i kiniay naho natalili’e amy Estere, mpanjaka-ampelay vaho tinaro’ i Estere amy mpanjakay amy tahina’ i Mordekaiy.
Kodwa uModekhayi wakuzwa ababekuceba wasetshela iNdlovukazi u-Esta, owabika lokho enkosini, ebabaza isenzo esihle sikaModekhayi.
23 Ie nitsikaraheñe i kililiy le nirendreke naho songa naradorado an-katae ie roe; vaho nisokireñe am-boken-talily añatrefa’ i mpanjakay ao.
Kwathi lowombiko usuhlolisisiwe kwatholakala ukuthi uliqiniso, iziphathamandla lezo zombili zalengiswa endaweni yokulenga. Konke lokhu kwalotshwa ogwalweni lwezindaba phambi kwenkosi.
