1 Ngalobobusuku inkosi yaswela ubuthongo; ngakho yalaya ukuba kulethwe kuyo ugwalo lwemiLando, imibhalo yombuso wayo, izobalelwa.
Hagi ana kenagera kini ne'mo'a avura masegara osuno ko'ma fore'ma hu'nea zantmimofo agenkema krente'naza avontafe omerita navuga eme hamprinke'na antahi'neno huno hu'ne.
2 Kwatholakala emibhalweni ukuba uModekhayi wayeveze ukuba uBhigithani loThereshi, abathenwa benkosi ababelinda entubeni, babecebe ukubulala inkosi u-Ahasuweru.
Anagema hige'za vu'za ana avontafera omeriza, zanagonknaza hari'nea netrema kini nemofo kuma kafante'ma eri'zama e'neria netrena, Biktana'ene Teresikema ko'ma kini ne' Serksisima ahenaku oku'a naneke retro nehakeno, Modekai'ma keteno, ana nanekema huama'ma hu'nea naneke hampri ami'naze.
3 Inkosi yathi, “UModekhayi wazuza dumo bani lokwaziwa ngalokhu?” Izinceku zenkosi zathi, “Akulalutho alwenzelwayo.”
Ana nanekema nentahino'a kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, E'ina'ma hu'nerera Modekaina na'a hunte'none? Higeno ana avontafema hampri ami'za vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Mago zana huonte'none.
4 Inkosi yasisithi, “Ngubani osenkundleni na?” UHamani wayesanda kungena enkundleni yangaphandle yesigodlo ezokhuluma lenkosi mayelana lokulengisa uModekhayi endaweni ayeyakhele lokho.
Higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, Iza kumapina menina mani'ne? huno nehigeno'a, Hemani'a zafama tro'ma hunte'nere'ma Modekaima aheno hanti'nia naneke kini ne' ome asaminaku, kini ne' kumapina ana umareri'ne.
5 Izinceku zayo zathi, “UHamani umi enkundleni.” Inkosi yalaya yathi, “Mngeniseni.”
Higeno kini ne'mofo eri'za ne'mo'a kini nera asamino, Hemani'a kumapi eme oti'ne higeno, kini ne'mo'a huno, Kehugeno efreno huno hu'ne.
6 UHamani esengenile, inkosi yathi kuye, “Kuyini okungenzelwa umuntu inkosi ethokoza ngaye ukuba imuphe udumo?” UHamani wacabanga ngaphakathi wathi, “Kambe ngubani ongaphiwa udumo yinkosi ngaphandle kwami?”
Higeno Hemani'a emarerigeno kini ne'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Nagra mago nera mani'neanki'na ragi ami'na husga huntegahue? Higeno Hemani'a agra'agura amanahu antahintahi antahi'ne, mago'a vahe'ma kini ne'mo'ma ana'ma huntega vahera omani'neanki, nagrake'za mani'noe huno antahi'ne.
7 Ngakho waphendula inkosi wathi, “Emuntwini inkosi ethokoza ngaye ukuba imuphe udumo,
Ana antahintahi nentahino Hemani'a amanage huno hu'ne, Kini ne'mokama ragima aminka azeri sgama hana nera,
8 kabamlethele isembatho sobukhosi esesake sagqokwa yinkosi kanye lebhiza eselake lagadwa yinkosi, elilomqhele wobukhosi ekhanda lalo.
ke huge'za kini ne'moka kukena eri'za eme nemiza, kini ne'mokama vanoma nehana hosi afuma kagri kavasese zantetima asenire'ma avasesema hunte'naza hosi afu avre'za eme amiho.
9 Isembatho leso kanye lebhiza kakube sezandleni zesinye sezikhulu zenkosi ezihloniphekayo kakhulu. Umuntu lo inkosi ethokoza ngaye efuna ukumupha udumo kagqokiswe lezozembatho, abesekhokhelwa edabula phakathi kwemigwaqo yedolobho egade ibhiza, kumenyezwe phambi kwakhe ukuthi, ‘Lokhu yikho okwenziwa emuntwini inkosi ethokoza ngaye ukuba imuphe udumo!’”
Ana nehanigenka mago ugagota eri'za neka'agu hugeno, kini ne'moka za'za kenaka'a erino ana nera kukena hunenteno, hosi afuka'amofo agofetu avreno kumapina vano nehuno ana eri'za ne'mo'a ranke huno, ama nera kini ne'mo'a ragi amino knare avu'ava hunte huno hino!
10 Inkosi yasilaya uHamani yathi, “Hamba khona manje uyethatha izembatho kanye lebhiza wenze njengokucebisa kwakho kuModekhayi umJuda ohlezi esangweni lenkosi. Ungaze watshiya loba yikuphi okuqambileyo.”
Anage higeno, Knare ke hananki kema hanankante antenka ame hunka vunka ana kukena omenerinka hosi afura nevrenka enka kuma kafante'ma kvama huno nemania Jiu ne' Modekaina ana maka zana hunto. Hagi mago zane hunka kagera okanio!
11 UHamani wasethatha izembatho kanye lebhiza. Wamgqokisa uModekhayi, wasemkhokhela ephezu kwebhiza, wadabula imigwaqo yedolobho, ehamba ememeza esithi, “Lokhu yikho okwenziwa emuntwini inkosi ethokoza ngaye ukuba imuphe udumo!”
Higeno Hamani'a kini kukena omerino Modekaiana eme hunenteno, kini ne'mofo hosi afu agumpi avrenteno kuma amu'nompina ana hosi afura avazu huno vano nehuno, ranke huno amanage hu'ne, ama nera kini ne'mo'a ragi amino knare hunte'ne huno vano hu'ne.
12 Ngemva kwalokho uModekhayi wabuyela esangweni lenkosi. Kodwa uHamani watshitsha waya ngekhaya, emboze ikhanda ngosizi,
Ana'ma hutegeno'a, Modekaia'a kini ne'mofo kuma kafante ete emani'ne. Hianagi Hamani'a asenire arefiterino rimpagna nehuno noma'arega vu'ne.
13 watshela uZereshi umkakhe kanye labangane bakhe bonke ngakho konke okwakumehlele. Abeluleki bakhe lomkakhe uZereshi bathi kuye, “Njengoba uModekhayi osuqale ukuwa phambi kwakhe engumJuda ngokwemvelo, awungeke umelane laye, uzatshabalala ngempela.”
Hagi Hamani'a maka zama agrite'ma fore'ma hia zamofo nanekea rone'aramine nenaro Zeresinena ome zamasami'ne. Higeno nenaro'ene knare antahi'zama nemiza vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za asami'naze, azeri havizama nehana ne' Modekaia'a Jiu nekino agri'ma ahe kema retro'ma nehana zamo'a eri'zana e'origosie. Hagi kagri kazeri haviza hugahie.
14 Kwathi besakhuluma laye, kwafika abathenwa benkosi bamthatha masinyane ukuya edilini elalilungiswe ngu-Esta.
Ana nanekea zahufa nesmizageno, kini ne'mofo eri'za ne'ma agonknazamo hari'nea ne'mo'a ame huno vuno Hemanina ome avreno Esta'ma ne'zama retro'ma hu'nerega vu'ne.
