< U-Esta 2 >
1 Emva kokuba ukuthukuthela kweNkosi u-Ahasuweru sekudedile, yamkhumbula uVashithi kanye lalokho ayekwenzile, lalokho okwakumenyezelwe ngaye.
Oo waxyaalahaas dabadood markii Boqor Ahashwerus cadho baxay ayuu soo xusuustay Washtii, iyo wixii ay samaysay, iyo wixii iyada ka geesta ahaa oo la amray.
2 Izinceku zenkosi zasezisithi kuyo, “Akudingelwe inkosi amantombazana agcweleyo, amahle.
Markaasaa boqorka midiidinnadiisii u adeegi jiray waxay yidhaahdeen, Boqorka ha loo doondoono bikrado qurux badan oo dhallinyaro ah;
3 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.
oo boqorku gobol kasta oo boqortooyadiisa ka mid ah ha ka dhex doorto wakiillo, si ay bikradaha quruxda badan oo dhallinyarada ah oo dhan ugu soo ururiyaan Shuushan oo ah hoyga boqorka, oo iyaga ha keeneen guriga naagaha, oo gacanta ha u geliyeen Heegay oo ah midiidinka boqorka naagaha u dhawra, oo iyaga ha la siiyo alaabtoodii ay isku daahirin lahaayeen.
4 Besekusithi intombi ethokozisa inkosi ibe yiNdlovukazi esikhundleni sikaVashithi.” Iseluleko lesi sayithokozisa inkosi, yasisilandela.
Oo gabadhii boqorka la wanaagsanaata, meeshii Washtii boqorad ha ka noqoto. Oo waxaasuna boqorka way ka farxiyeen; kolkaasuu saas yeelay.
5 Kwakukhona esigodlweni saseSusa umJuda owendlu yakoBhenjamini, okwakuthiwa nguModekhayi, indodana kaJayiri, indodana kaShimeyi, indodana kaKhishi,
Oo Shuushan oo hoygii boqorka ahaa waxaa jiray nin Yuhuud ah, oo magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Mordekay ina Ya'iir, ina Shim'i, ina Qiish, oo wuxuu ahaa reer Benyaamiin;
6 owayethunjwe eJerusalema nguNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, kanye loJekhoniya inkosi yakoJuda wayephakathi kwabathunjwayo.
oo isaga waxaa mar hore laga soo kaxaystay Yeruusaalem, wuxuuna la socday maxaabiistii lala soo kaxaystay Yekonyaah oo ahaa boqorkii reer Yahuudah, oo uu soo kaxaystay Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon.
7 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.
Oo isagu wuxuu soo koriyey Hadasaah, taasoo ahayd ina-adeertiis Esteer, waayo, iyadu aabbe iyo hooyo toona ma ay lahayn; gabadhuna way suurad wacnayd, wayna qurux badnayd; oo markii aabbeheed iyo hooyadeed dhinteen ayaa Mordekay qaatay oo sidii gabadhiisii ka dhigtay.
8 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.
Markii la maqlay boqorka amarkiisii iyo naadadiisii, kolkii hablo badan lagu soo ururiyey Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka, oo gacanta loo geliyey Heegay, ayaa Esteer la geeyey gurigii boqorka, oo waxaa gacanta loo geliyey Heegay oo ahaa kii naagaha dhawri jiray.
9 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.
Oo gabadhii way la wanaagsanaatay isagii, wuuna u roonaaday; oo markiiba wuxuu iyadii siiyey alaabteedii isdaahirinta, iyo intii ay qaybta u lahayd, iyo toddoba gabdhood oo ay waajib u lahayd in laga siiyo guriga boqorka. Markaasuu iyadii iyo gabdhaheediiba geeyey meeshii ugu wanaagsanayd guriga naagaha.
10 U-Esta wayengavezanga ukuthi udabuka ngaphi lembali yemuli yakibo, ngoba uModekhayi wayethe angakwenzi lokho.
Esteerna ma ay sheegin dadkeedii iyo qoladeedii toona; waayo, waxaa Mordekay ku amray inaanay waxba sheegin.
11 Insuku zonke uModekhayi wayehamba eduzane leguma lendlu yabesifazane ukuze ezwe ukuba u-Esta uqhuba njani lokuthi uyaphila na.
Mordekayna wuxuu maalin kasta mari jiray barxadda guriga naagaha horteeda si uu ku ogaado Esteer nabadqabkeeda iyo waxa iyada ku dhici lahaa.
12 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.
Haddaba markii gabadh walba wakhtigeedii la gaadhay inay u gasho Boqor Ahashwerus, oo iyada loogu sameeyo sida waafaqsan waxa sharcigu dumarka farayo laba iyo toban bilood dabadeed, (waayo, saasaa isdaahirintoodu ku dhammaan jirtay, inay intii lix bilood ah ismariyaan saliidda malmalka, intii lix bilood ahna ismariyaan uunsi udgoon iyo waxyaalaha dumarka lagu daahiriyo)
13 Indlela intombi eyayisiya ngayo enkosini yile: loba yini intombi eyayiyifuna yayikuphiwa ukuze ihambe lakho esigodlweni senkosi isuka endlini yabesifazane.
ayaa sidaas gabadhii boqorkii ugu timid, oo wax alla wixii ay doonaysay inay guriga naagaha ka qaadato, oo ay la tagto guriga boqorka, dhammaantood waa la siiyey iyada.
14 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.
Oo iyadu fiidkii bay tagtay, oo subaxdii ayay ku soo noqotay gurigii labaad oo naagaha, iyo gacanta Shacashgas oo ahaa boqorka midiidinkiisii u dhawri jiray naagaha addoommaha ah. Iyana mar dambe boqorkii uma ay soo gelin, in boqorku ku farxo iyo in magaceeda loogu yeedho mooyaane.
15 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.
Haddaba Esteer oo ahayd ina Abiixayil, kaasoo adeer u ahaa Mordekay oo iyada qaatay oo ka dhigtay sidii gabadhiisii oo kale, markii wakhtigeedii ay boqorka u geli lahayd la gaadhay, iyadu waxba ma ay dalban wixii Heegay oo ahaa boqorka midiidinkiisii naagaha u dhawri jiray uu u dooray mooyaane. Oo intii Esteer aragtay oo dhammu way u bogeen.
16 U-Esta wasiwa enkosini ngenyanga yetshumi, inyanga yeThebhethi, ngomnyaka wesikhombisa wokubusa kweNkosi u-Ahasuweru.
Haddaba boqorka sannaddiisii toddobaad ee boqornimadiisa, bisheedii tobnaad oo ahayd bisha Tebed ayaa Esteer loogu geeyey Boqor Ahashwerus gurigiisii boqornimada.
17 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.
Haddaba boqorkii Esteer buu ka jeclaaday naagihii kale oo dhan, oo iyana waxay isagii ka heshay raxmad iyo roonaan ka sii badan intii ay bikradaha kale heleen oo dhan; oo sidaas daraaddeed ayuu madaxa u saaray taajkii boqornimada, oo meeshii Washtii ayuu iyada boqorad uga dhigay.
18 Inkosi yasisenza idili elikhulu kakhulu, idili lika-Esta, isenzela izikhulu kanye leziphathamandla zayo. Yamemezela usuku lwekhefu kuzozonke izabelo, yapha lezipho ngesandla esikhululekileyo sobukhosi.
Markaasaa boqorkii martiqaad weyn u sameeyey amiirradiisii iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, taasuna waxay ahayd martiqaad Esteer loo sameeyey; oo gobolladiina boqorku wuu nasiyey, oo hadiyadona wuxuu u bixiyey sidii deeqsinimadiisii ahayd.
19 Kwathi izintombi ezigcweleyo sezihlangene okwesibili, uModekhayi wayehlezi esangweni lenkosi.
Oo markii bikradihii mar labaad la soo ururiyey ayaa Mordekay soo fadhiistay boqorka iriddiisii.
20 U-Esta wayekwenze kwaba yimfihlo okwemuli yakhe lalapho adabuka khona njengokutshelwa kwakhe nguModekhayi ukuba akwenze, njalo waqhubeka elandela imilayo kaModekhayi njengalokhu ayekwenza esamkhulisa.
Oo Esteerna weli ma ay sheegin qoladeedii iyo dadkeedii toona, sidii Mordekay ku amray; waayo, Esteer amarkii Mordekay bay u addeeci jirtay sidii markii uu korinayay oo kale.
21 Ngesikhathi uModekhayi ehlezi esangweni lenkosi, abathenwa benkosi ababili ababelinda emnyango, uBhigithani loThereshi, bathukuthela baceba ukuyibulala inkosi u-Ahasuweru.
Oo waagaas mar uu Mordekay boqorka iriddiisa fadhiistay ayaa waxaa aad u cadhooday laba nin oo boqorka midiidinno u ahaa, waxayna ahaayeen Bigtaan iyo Teresh oo ka mid ahaa kuwa iridda dhawra, oo waxay dooneen inay Boqor Ahashwerus dilaan.
22 Kodwa uModekhayi wakuzwa ababekuceba wasetshela iNdlovukazi u-Esta, owabika lokho enkosini, ebabaza isenzo esihle sikaModekhayi.
Oo xaalkaas waxaa ogaaday Mordekay, kolkaasuu u sheegay Boqorad Esteer; Esteerna waxay u sheegtay boqorkii, iyadoo ku hadlaysa Mordekay magiciisa.
23 Kwathi lowombiko usuhlolisisiwe kwatholakala ukuthi uliqiniso, iziphathamandla lezo zombili zalengiswa endaweni yokulenga. Konke lokhu kwalotshwa ogwalweni lwezindaba phambi kwenkosi.
Oo markii xaalkaas la baadhay ayaa waxaa la ogaaday inay saas tahay, oo labadoodiiba geed baa laga soo deldelay; oo taasna waxaa lagu qoray buuggii taariikhda boqorka hortiisa.
