1 Aa le nimb’ amy sabadidakey mb’eo i mpanjakay naho i Hamane mitraok’ amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga mo Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine.
2 Le nanao ty hoe amy Estere indraike i mpanjakay amy andro faharoey amy fanjotsoañe divaiy: Ndra inoñe ty halali’o, Estere mpanjaka-ampela, le hatolotse azo; vaho ndra inoñ’inoñ’ o salalae’oo, le hanoeñe ampara’ ty vakim-pifeheañe.
Pea naʻe toe lea ʻae tuʻi kia Eseta ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he kātoanga inu uaine, “Ko e hā hoʻo kole ʻe tuʻi fefine ko Eseta? Pea ʻe tuku ia kiate koe: pea ko e hā ia ʻa hoʻo kole? Pea ʻe fai ia ʻo aʻu ki hono vahe ua ʻoe puleʻanga.”
3 Nanoiñe amy zao t’i Estere mpanjaka-ampela: Aa naho nanjo fañisohañe am-pahaoniña’o iraho ry mpanjaka, lehe mahafale i mpanjakay, le inao ty halaliko te hatolotse ahy ty fiaiko; toe ty fiai’ ondatikoo ro hàtako;
Pea lea ai ʻa Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻE tuʻi, pea kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, ke foaki ʻeku moʻui kiate au ʻi heʻeku kole, mo hoku kakai ʻi heʻeku tala:
4 amy t’ie naletake, izaho naho ondatikoo, ho mongoreñe, ho zamaneñe vaho hampikoromaheñe; fa naho naletake ho ondevo-lahy naho ondevo-ampela le ho nitsiñe iraho ndra te tsy ho nilefe’ i rafelahiy havahañe ty ho nimotso amy mpanjakay.
He kuo fakatau ʻakimautolu, Ko au mo hoku kakai, ke maumauʻi, mo tāmateʻi, pea ke fakaʻauha. Pea ka ne fakatau ʻakimautolu ke hoko ko e kau tangata pōpula, mo e kau fefine pōpula, pehē, te u longo pe au, ka ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he fili ke totongi hono kovi ki he tuʻi.”
5 Nisaontsy amy zao t’i Akasverose mpanjaka, nanao ty hoe amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela: Ia v’izao, aia re, te mahavany izay an-tro’e ao?
Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ia, pea kofaʻā ia, ʻaia naʻe fielahi ʻi hono loto ke fai pehē?”
6 Le hoe t’i Estere: O rafelahy naho sadiavaheo, ty lo-tsereke Hamane tia. Nianifañe aolo’ i mpanjakay naho i mpanjaka-ampelay amy zao t’i Hamane.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Eseta, “Ko e tangata angatuʻu mo e fili, ko Hamani angakovi ni.” Pea naʻe toki manavahē ʻa Hamani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e tuʻi fefine.
7 Niongak’ amy fanjotsoañe divaiy am-piforoforoa’e amy zao i mpanjakay, niakatse mb’an-kiririsa’ i anjombay; fe tambatse eo t’i Hamane nihalaly ty fiai’e amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela; fa napota’e te hankàñe ty fisafiria’ i mpanjakay.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi heʻene tuputāmaki lahi mei he kātoanga uaine, pea ʻalu kituʻa ia ki he ngoue ʻoe fale; pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Hamani ke fai ʻae kole koeʻuhi ko ʻene moʻui kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine; he naʻe mamata ia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kovi ke hoko kiate ia mei he tuʻi.
8 Nibalik’ amy zao boak’ an-kiririsan’ anjomba ao mb’amy fanjotsoañe divaiy mb’eo i mpanjakay, ie nibabok’ an-tihi’i Estere eo t’i Hamane. Le hoe i mpanjakay: Aa ho vahora’o añ’atrefako etoa ka hao añ’ anjomba atoy o mpanjaka-ampelao? Ie nienga i falie’ey i saontsiy le sinaro’ iareo ty lahara’ i Hamane.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae tuʻi mei he ngoue ʻoe fale, ki he potu ʻoe kātoanga uaine: pea kuo tō ʻa Hamani ki he tokotoʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Eseta. Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Pea ʻe tohotoho ʻe ia ʻae tuʻi fefine foki ʻi he fale ʻi hoku ʻao?” Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻae lea mei he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa nau ʻufiʻufi ʻae mata ʻo Hamani.
9 Le hoe t’i Harbonà, raik’ amo mpiatrak’ aolo’ i mpanjakaio, Inao! mitroatse añ’ anjomba’ i Hamane ey ty fampiradoradoañe limampolo kiho mañambone, rinanji’ i Hamane ho a i Mordekay nitaron-kasoa i mpanjakaiy. Le hoe i mpanjakay, Aradoradò ama’e.
Pea pehē ʻe Hapona ko e tauhi fale ʻe tokotaha ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, “Vakai foki, ko e tautauʻanga, ko e hanga ʻe teau hono māʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Hamani moʻo Motekiai, ʻaia naʻe lea lelei maʻae tuʻi, ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Hamani.” Pea pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi, “Tautau ia ki ai.”
10 Aa le naradorado’ iereo amy firadoradoañe nihentseña’e ho a i Mordekaiy t’i Hamane; vaho nanintsiñe ty haviñera’ i mpanjakay.
Ko ia naʻa nau tautau ʻa Hamani ʻi he tautauʻanga naʻa ne teuteu moʻo Motekiai. Pea naʻe toki lolou ʻae houhau ʻita ʻae tuʻi.
