U-Esta 4
1 UModekhayi esekwazile konke okwenziweyo, uModekhayi wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wagqoka isaka lomlotha, waphuma wangena phakathi komuzi, wakhala ukukhala okukhulu lokubabayo,
Mordikay boluwatⱪan ixlardin hǝwǝr tapⱪandin keyin eginlirini yirtip, üstigǝ bɵz artip, wǝ usti-bexiƣa kül qeqip, xǝⱨǝrning otturisiƣa qiⱪip naⱨayiti ⱪattiⱪ wǝ ǝlǝmlik pǝryad kɵtürdi.
2 weza waze waba phambi kwesango lenkosi, ngoba kwakungekho ongangena esangweni lenkosi egqoke isaka.
U orda dǝrwazisi aldiƣa kelip tohtap ⱪaldi; qünki boz yepinƣan ⱨǝrⱪandaⱪ adǝmning orda dǝrwazisidin kirixigǝ ruhsǝt yoⱪ idi.
3 Lakuso sonke isabelo lesabelo, indawo lapho ilizwi lenkosi lomthetho okwakufika khona, kwaba lokulila okukhulu kumaJuda, lokuzila ukudla, lokukhala inyembezi, lokulila; amanengi alala emasakeni lemlotheni.
Padixaⱨning ǝmri wǝ yarliⱪi yǝtküzülgǝn ⱨǝrⱪaysi ɵlkilǝrdǝ Yǝⱨudiylar arisida ⱪattiⱪ nalǝ-pǝryad kɵtürüldi; ular roza tutup, kɵz yexi ⱪilip, yiƣa-zar ⱪildi; nurƣun kixilǝr boz yepinip küldǝ eƣinap yetixti.
4 Kwasekufika amantombazana kaEsta labathenwa bakhe bamtshela; indlovukazi yasidabuka kakhulu, yathumela izembatho zokugqokisa uModekhayi, lokususa kuye isaka lakhe, kodwa kazemukelanga.
Əstǝrning hizmitidǝ bolƣan dedǝkliri wǝ ⱨǝrǝm’aƣiliri bu ixni uningƣa eytiwidi, hanixning kɵngli intayin eƣir boldi; Mordikayning bozni taxlap, kiyiwelixiƣa kiyim-keqǝk qiⱪartip bǝrdi, lekin Mordikay ⱪobul ⱪilmidi.
5 UEsta wasebiza uHathaki omunye wabathenwa benkosi eyayimmisele yena, wamlaya ngoModekhayi ukuthi azi ukuthi kuyini lokuthi kungani.
Xuning bilǝn Əstǝr ɵzining hizmitidǝ boluxⱪa padixaⱨ tǝyinlǝp ǝwǝtkǝn ⱨǝrǝm’aƣiliridin Ⱨataⱪ isimlik birini qaⱪirip, uni Mordikayning ⱪexiƣa berip, bu ixning zadi ⱪandaⱪ ix ikǝnlikini, nemǝ sǝwǝbtin boluwatⱪanliⱪini ting-tinglap kelixkǝ ǝwǝtti.
6 UHathaki wasephuma waya kuModekhayi egcekeni lomuzi elaliphambi kwesango lenkosi.
Xuning bilǝn Ⱨataⱪ orda dǝrwazisi aldidiki mǝydanƣa kelip Mordikay bilǝn kɵrüxti.
7 UModekhayi wamtshela konke okwenzeke kuye, lengcazelo yemali uHamani athi uzayilinganisela kokuligugu kwenkosi ngamaJuda ukuwachitha.
Mordikay bexiƣa kǝlgǝn ⱨǝmmǝ ixni, Ⱨaman Yǝⱨudiylarning nǝslini ⱪurutuwetix üqün padixaⱨning hǝzinilirigǝ tapxuruxⱪa wǝdǝ ⱪilƣan kümüxning sanini ⱪaldurmay eytip bǝrdi.
8 Wasemnika ikhophi yombhalo womthetho eyanikwa eShushani ukuwachitha ukuthi ayitshengise uEsta, lokuthi amtshele, lokuthi amlaye ukuthi angene enkosini, ukumncengela, lokucelela abantu bakibo phambi kwakhe.
Mordikay yǝnǝ Ⱨataⱪⱪa Xuxanda jakarlanƣan, Yǝⱨudiylarni yoⱪitix toƣrisidiki yarliⱪning kɵqürmisini Əstǝrning kɵrüp beⱪixiƣa yǝtküzüp berixkǝ tapxurdi ⱨǝmdǝ uningƣa Əstǝrgǝ ǝⱨwalni qüxǝndürüp, ordiƣa kirip padixaⱨ bilǝn kɵrüxüp ɵz hǝlⱪi üqün padixaⱨtin ɵtünüp iltija ⱪilip beⱪixⱪa ündǝxni tapilidi.
9 UHathaki wasesiza wamtshela uEsta amazwi kaModekhayi.
Ⱨataⱪ ⱪaytip kelip Mordikayning gǝplirini Əstǝrgǝ yǝtküzdi.
10 UEsta wasekhuluma loHathaki, wamnika umlayo usiya kuModekhayi wokuthi:
Əstǝr Ⱨataⱪⱪa Mordikayƣa eytidiƣan gǝplǝrni tapxurup, uni Mordikayning yeniƣa yǝnǝ ǝwǝtti: —
11 Zonke inceku zenkosi labantu bezabelo zenkosi bayakwazi ukuthi, loba ngubani, owesilisa loba owesifazana, ongena esiya enkosini egumeni elingaphakathi, engabizwanga, kulomthetho owodwa ngaye wokumbulala, ngaphandle kokuthi inkosi imelulele intonga yobukhosi yegolide, ukuze aphile; kodwa mina kangibizwanga ukungena enkosini lezinsuku ezingamatshumi amathathu.
«Padixaⱨning barliⱪ hizmǝtkarliri wǝ ⱨǝrⱪaysi ɵlkǝ hǝlⱪliri, mǝyli ǝr bolsun ayal bolsun, qaⱪirtilmay turup iqki ⱨoyliƣa, padixaⱨning ⱨuzuriƣa ɵz mǝyliqǝ kirsǝ, padixaⱨ uningƣa iltipat kɵrsitip altun ⱨasisini tǝnglǝp ɵlümdim kǝqürüm ⱪilmisa, undaⱪta u kixigǝ nisbǝtǝn bexiƣa qüxidiƣan birla ⱪanun-bǝlgilimǝ bardur: — u ɵlüm jazasini tartidu. Ⱨazir mening padixaⱨ bilǝn kɵrüxüxkǝ qaⱪirtilmiƣinimƣa ottuz kün boldi».
12 Basebemtshela uModekhayi amazwi kaEsta.
Əstǝrning sɵzliri Mordikayƣa yǝtküzülüwidi,
13 UModekhayi wasesithi ephendula uEsta: Ungacabangi engqondweni yakho ukuthi uzaphepha endlini yenkosi okwedlula wonke amaJuda.
Mordikay munu gǝplǝrni Əstǝrgǝ yǝtküzüxni ⱨawalǝ ⱪildi: — «Sǝn kɵnglüngdǝ mǝn ordida yaxawatimǝn, xunga barliⱪ baxⱪa Yǝⱨudiylardin bihǝtǝr bolup ⱪutulimǝn, dǝp hiyal ǝylimǝ.
14 Ngoba uba uthula lokuthula ngalesisikhathi, usizo lenkululeko kuzamela amaJuda kuvela kwenye indawo, kodwa wena lendlu kayihlo lizabhubha. Ngubani kambe owaziyo ukuthi ufikile embusweni ngenxa yesikhathi esinje?
Əgǝr bu qaƣda sǝn jim turuwalsang, Yǝⱨudiylarƣa baxⱪa tǝrǝptin mǝdǝt wǝ nijat qiⱪixi mumkin; lekin u qaƣda sǝn ɵz ata jǝmǝting bilǝn ⱪoxulup yoⱪitilisǝn. Kim bilsun, sening hanixliⱪ mǝrtiwisigǝ erixkining dǝl bügünki muxundaⱪ pǝyt üqün bolƣanmu?».
15 UEsta wasesithi ephendula uModekhayi:
Əstǝr Mordikayƣa mundaⱪ dǝp jawab ⱪayturdi: —
16 Hamba ubuthanise wonke amaJuda atholakala eShushani, lingizilele ukudla, lingadli linganathi insuku ezintathu ubusuku lemini; lami lamantombazana ami sizazila ukudla ngokufananayo; ngokunjalo-ke ngizangena enkosini, okunganjengokomthetho; njalo uba ngibhubha, ngizabhubha.
«Sǝn berip, Xuxandiki barliⱪ Yǝⱨudiylarni yiƣⱪin; mening üqün roza tutup, üq keqǝ-kündüz ⱨeq yemǝnglar, ⱨeq iqmǝnglar; mǝn ⱨǝm dedǝklirimmu xundaⱪ roza tutimiz. Andin keyin mǝn ⱪanunƣa hilapliⱪ ⱪilip padixaⱨning ⱨuzuriƣa kirimǝn, manga ɵlüm kǝlsǝ, ɵlǝy!».
17 UModekhayi waseqhubeka wenza njengakho konke uEsta amlaye khona.
Xuning bilǝn Mordikay u yǝrdin ketip, Əstǝrning tapiliƣinidǝk ⱪildi.
