U-Esta 7
1 Inkosi loHamani basebesiyakudla leNdlovukazi u-Esta,
Enti ɔhene no ne Haman kɔɔ Ɔhemmea Ɛster aponto no ase.
2 kwathi besanatha iwayini ngalelolanga lesibili, inkosi yabuza njalo yathi, “Ndlovukazi Esta, kuyini okucelayo na? Uzakukwamukeliswa. Kuyini okucelayo na? Uzanikwa loba yini okungafika kungxenye yombuso.”
Wɔrenonom nsa saa da no, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no bio se, “Ɔhemmea Ɛster, kyerɛ me nea wopɛ. Wʼabisade ne dɛn? Sɛ ɛyɛ ahemman yi mu fa koraa a, mede bɛma wo!”
3 INdlovukazi yaphendula yathi, “Nxa ngifumene umusa kuwe nkosi, njalo nxa inkosi kuyithokozisa, bengicelela ukuphila, yiso isicelo sami lesi.
Ɔhemmea Ɛster buae se, “Sɛ Ɔhempɔn ani gye me ho, na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mʼabisade ma me a, mʼadesrɛ ara ne sɛ, obegyaa me nkwa ne me manfo nkwa mu ama yɛn.
4 Ngoba mina kanye labantu bakithi sithengisiwe ukuze sichithwe njalo sibulawe ukuze singabikhona emhlabeni. Ngabe besimane sathengiswa njengezigqili zesilisa lezesifazane, bengizazithulela, ngoba akulahlupho olunje olungabangela ukuthi inkosi iphanjaniswe.”
Efisɛ wɔatɔn me ne me manfo ama nnipa a wobekunkum yɛn, atɔre yɛn ase. Sɛ wɔtɔn yɛn sɛ nkoa kɛkɛ mpo a, anka mɛtena dinn, efisɛ ɛno de, ɛyɛ asɛm ketewa bi a ɛho nhia sɛ wɔde kɔdan ɔhene.”
5 Inkosi u-Ahasuweru wathi ku-Esta iNdlovukazi, “Ngubani lowo? Ungaphi umuntu obelesibindi sokwenza into enje?”
Ɔhene Ahasweros bisae se, “Hena na ɔbɛyɛ saa? Na hena na obetumi de ne nsa aka wo?”
6 U-Esta wathi, “Isitha lomuntu ololunya nguyenalo uHamani olomona.” UHamani wasethuthumela phambi kwenkosi lendlovukazi.
Ɛster buae se, “Saa omumɔyɛfo ne ɔtamfo yi ne onimguasefo Haman.” Ehu maa Haman ho popoo wɔ ɔhene ne ɔhemmea no anim.
7 Inkosi yasukuma igcwele ulaka yatshiya iwayini layo yaya phandle esivandeni sesigodlo. Kwathi uHamani ebona ukuthi inkosi yayisiyenze isinqumo ngempilo yakhe, wasala ngemuva ukuba azincengele impilo yakhe eNdlovukazini u-Esta.
Ɔhene no de abufuw huruw gyinaa ne nan so, na ɔkɔɔ ahemfi hɔ turo mu. Na Haman kaa hɔ, guan toaa Ɔhemmea Ɛster sɛ ɔnsrɛ ne nkwa mma no, efisɛ na onim sɛ nʼawie adu.
8 Kwathi inkosi isiphendukile esivandeni sesigodlo ingena endlini yedili, yathola uHamani eziphosa esihlalweni lapho u-Esta ayehlezi khona. Inkosi yababaza yathi, “Kambe ungadlova indlovukazi ngikhonapha endlini na!” Kwathi ilizwi lelo liphuma emlonyeni wenkosi, bagubuzela ubuso bukaHamani.
Ɔtew hwee Ɔhemmea Ɛster mpa a ɔrehome wɔ so no so. Ɛhɔ ara na ɔhene no nso fii ahemfi no turo mu hɔ bae. Ɔhene no bobɔɔ mu se, “Hwɛ ɔrebɛboro ɔhemmea yi bere a ɔwɔ me nkyɛn wɔ fie ha nso?” Ɔhene no kasa wiee ara pɛ, nʼasomfo no kataa Haman anim a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, nʼawie adu.
9 Kwathi uHaribhona, omunye wabathenwa ababesebenzela inkosi wathi, “Kulensika yokulengisa abantu ephakeme okuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu emiswe eduze lendlu kaHamani. Yena ubeyenzele uModekhayi, owaveza icebo elibi ukusiza inkosi.” Inkosi yathi, “Mlengiseni kuyo!”
Na Harbona a ɔyɛ ɔhene no piamfo no mu baako kae se, “Haman asi dua a ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum wɔ ɔno ara nʼadiwo. Na nʼadwene ne sɛ, ɔbɛsɛn Mordekai a ogyee ɔhene nkwa no wɔ so.” Afei, ɔhene no kae se, “Monsɛn Haman wɔ so.”
10 Bamlengisa kuleyonsika ayeyilungisele ukulengisa uModekhayi. Ulaka lwenkosi lwaseludeda.
Enti wɔsɛn Haman wɔ dua no a osi maa Mordekai no so, maa ɔhene no bo dwoe.
