1 Kwathi uModekhayi esezwile ngakho konke okwasekwenziwe, wadabula iziqgoko zakhe, wagqoka amasaka okulila, wazihuqa ngomlotha, waphuma wangena phakathi komuzi ekhala kakhulu njalo kabuhlungukazi.
Mordikay boluwatqan ishlardin xewer tapqandin kéyin éginlirini yirtip, üstige böz artip, we usti-béshigha kül chéchip, sheherning otturisigha chiqip nahayiti qattiq we elemlik peryad kötürdi.
2 Kodwa wahamba wayafika esangweni lenkosi, ngoba akulamuntu owayevunyelwa ukungena egqoke amasaka okulila.
U orda derwazisi aldigha kélip toxtap qaldi; chünki boz yépin’ghan herqandaq ademning orda derwazisidin kirishige ruxset yoq idi.
3 Kuzozonke izabelo lapho isimiso somthetho lomlayo wenkosi okwafika khona, kwaba lokulila okukhulu kubaJuda, bazila ukudla, bakhala njalo belila. Abanengi balala emlotheni begqoke amasaka okulila.
Padishahning emri we yarliqi yetküzülgen herqaysi ölkilerde Yehudiylar arisida qattiq nale-peryad kötürüldi; ular roza tutup, köz yéshi qilip, yigha-zar qildi; nurghun kishiler boz yépinip külde éghinap yétishti.
4 Kwathi izinceku zika-Esta kanye labathenwa bakhe befika bemtshela ngoModekhayi, waba lokudabuka okukhulu. Wamthumela izembatho zokuthi agqoke endaweni yamasaka okulila, kodwa wala ukuzamukela.
Esterning xizmitide bolghan dédekliri we heremaghiliri bu ishni uninggha éytiwidi, xanishning köngli intayin éghir boldi; Mordikayning bozni tashlap, kiyiwélishigha kiyim-kéchek chiqartip berdi, lékin Mordikay qobul qilmidi.
5 U-Esta wasebiza uHathakhi, omunye wabathenwa benkosi owayekhethwe ukuba yinceku yakhe, wamlaya ukuba ayedingisisa lokho okwakukhathaza uModekhayi lembangela yakho.
Shuning bilen Ester özining xizmitide bolushqa padishah teyinlep ewetken heremaghiliridin Hataq isimlik birini chaqirip, uni Mordikayning qéshigha bérip, bu ishning zadi qandaq ish ikenlikini, néme sewebtin boluwatqanliqini ting-tinglap kélishke ewetti.
6 Ngakho uHathakhi waya kuModekhayi egcekeni ledolobho phambi kwesango lenkosi.
Shuning bilen Hataq orda derwazisi aldidiki meydan’gha kélip Mordikay bilen körüshti.
7 UModekhayi wamtshela konke okwakwenzakale kuye, kugoqela inani lemali uHamani ayethembise ukulibhadala lingene enothweni yenkosi kusenzelwa ukubhujiswa kwamaJuda.
Mordikay béshigha kelgen hemme ishni, Haman Yehudiylarning neslini qurutuwétish üchün padishahning xezinilirige tapshurushqa wede qilghan kümüshning sanini qaldurmay éytip berdi.
8 Wamupha njalo amazwi esimemezelo leso ayesekhutshwe aba ngumthetho omisiweyo wokubhujiswa kwabo, owawumenyezelwe eSusa, ukuze awutshengise u-Esta njalo amchazele ngawo; njalo wamtshela ukuthi amkhuthaze ukuba aye enkosini ukuyacela isihawu sayo encengela abantu bakibo.
Mordikay yene Hataqqa Shushanda jakarlan’ghan, Yehudiylarni yoqitish toghrisidiki yarliqning köchürmisini Esterning körüp béqishigha yetküzüp bérishke tapshurdi hemde uninggha Esterge ehwalni chüshendürüp, ordigha kirip padishah bilen körüshüp öz xelqi üchün padishahtin ötünüp iltija qilip béqishqa ündeshni tapilidi.
9 UHathakhi wabuyela wayamtshela u-Esta lokho okwakukhulunywe nguModekhayi.
Hataq qaytip kélip Mordikayning geplirini Esterge yetküzdi.
10 Yena wasemlaya ukuba athi kuModekhayi,
Ester Hataqqa Mordikaygha éytidighan geplerni tapshurup, uni Mordikayning yénigha yene ewetti: —
11 “Zonke iziphathamandla zenkosi kanye labasezigodlweni ezabelweni bayakwazi ukuthi inkosi ilomthetho owodwa zwi kuloba yiphi indoda loba owesifazane osondela enkosini angene endlini ephakathi engabizwanga; kufanele abulawe, ngaphandle kokuba inkosi yelule intonga yayo yegolide imkhombe ngayo ukuze impilo yakhe iphephe. Kodwa, sekwedlule amalanga angamatshumi amathathu selokhu ngacina ukubizelwa enkosini.”
«Padishahning barliq xizmetkarliri we herqaysi ölke xelqliri, meyli er bolsun ayal bolsun, chaqirtilmay turup ichki hoyligha, padishahning huzurigha öz meyliche kirse, padishah uninggha iltipat körsitip altun hasisini tenglep ölümdim kechürüm qilmisa, undaqta u kishige nisbeten béshigha chüshidighan birla qanun-belgilime bardur: — u ölüm jazasini tartidu. Hazir méning padishah bilen körüshüshke chaqirtilmighinimgha ottuz kün boldi».
12 Kwathi amazwi ka-Esta ebikwa kuModekhayi,
Esterning sözliri Mordikaygha yetküzülüwidi,
13 waphendula wathi: “Ungacabangi ukuthi ngoba wena usendlini yenkosi nguwe wedwa kuwo wonke amaJuda ozaphepha.
Mordikay munu geplerni Esterge yetküzüshni hawale qildi: — «Sen könglüngde men ordida yashawatimen, shunga barliq bashqa Yehudiylardin bixeter bolup qutulimen, dep xiyal eylime.
14 Nxa ungala uthule ngalesisikhathi, usizo lokukhululwa kwamaJuda kuzavela kwenye indawo, kodwa wena kanye lemuli kayihlo lizabhubha. Njalo kwazi bani, ukuthi uze kulesi sikhundla sobukhosi ngenxa yesikhathi esinjengalesi na?”
Eger bu chaghda sen jim turuwalsang, Yehudiylargha bashqa tereptin medet we nijat chiqishi mumkin; lékin u chaghda sen öz ata jemeting bilen qoshulup yoqitilisen. Kim bilsun, séning xanishliq mertiwisige érishkining del bügünki mushundaq peyt üchün bolghanmu?».
15 U-Esta wasethumela impendulo le kuModekhayi:
Ester Mordikaygha mundaq dep jawab qayturdi: —
16 “Hamba uyebuthanisa ndawonye wonke amaJuda aseSusa, lingizilele ukudla. Lingaze ladla loba ukunatha okwensuku ezintathu, ebusuku lemini. Mina kanye lezincekukazi zami sizazila njengani. Nxa lokhu sekwenziwe, ngizakuya enkosini loba nje lokho kungekho emthethweni. Nxa ngisifa, ngiyabe ngifile.”
«Sen bérip, Shushandiki barliq Yehudiylarni yighqin; méning üchün roza tutup, üch kéche-kündüz héch yémenglar, héch ichmenglar; men hem dédeklirimmu shundaq roza tutimiz. Andin kéyin men qanun’gha xilapliq qilip padishahning huzurigha kirimen, manga ölüm kelse, öley!».
17 Ngakho uModekhayi wasuka wayakwenza lokho okwakulaywe ngu-Esta.
Shuning bilen Mordikay u yerdin kétip, Esterning tapilighinidek qildi.
