U-Esta 6
1 Ngalobobusuku ubuthongo benkosi babaleka; yasisithi kakulethwe ugwalo lwezikhumbuzo lwemilando; yasibalwa phambi kwenkosi.
Saa anadwo no, ɔhene no antumi anna, nti ɔmaa ɔsomfo bi kɔfaa nʼahemman mu abakɔsɛm nkrataa bae sɛ wɔnkenkan nkyerɛ no.
2 Kwasekutholakala kubhaliwe ukuthi uModekhayi wabika ngoBigithana loTereshi, abathenwa ababili benkosi, abalindi bombundu, ababedinge ukwelulela isandla enkosini uAhasuwerusi.
Ohuu sɛnea Mordekai kɔdaa pɔwbɔ bi adi, nea Bigtana ne Teres a na wɔyɛ piamfo baanu a na wɔwɛn ɔhene no apon ano no pamee wɔ nkrataa no mu. Wɔpam ɔhene no ti so sɛ wobekum no.
3 Inkosi yasisithi: Dumo lobukhulu bani obenziwa kuModekhayi ngalokhu? Izinceku zenkosi ezaziyikhonza zasezisithi: Kakwenziwanga lutho kuye.
Ɔhene no bisae se, “Dɛn akatua anaa nkae ade bɛn na wɔde ama Mordekai wɔ eyi ho?” Asomfo no buae se, “Wɔnyɛɛ hwee mmaa no ɛ.”
4 Inkosi yasisithi: Ngubani osegumeni? UHamani wayesengene egumeni elingaphandle lendlu yenkosi ukukhuluma enkosini ukuthi ilengise uModekhayi egodweni ayemlungisele lona.
Ɔhene no bisae se, “Hena na ɔhyɛ akyi hɔ adiwo hɔ no?” Ɛbae sɛ, na afei na Haman abedu ahemfi adiwo a ɛwɔ akyi hɔ no a ɔrebɛka akyerɛ ɔhene no, na wasɛn Mordekai wɔ dua a wasi no so.
5 Izinceku zenkosi zasezisithi kuyo: Khangela, uHamani umi egumeni. Inkosi yasisithi: Kangene.
Nʼasomfo no buaa ɔhene no se, “Haman na ɔhyɛ hɔ.” Ɔhene no kae se, “Momfa no mmra mu.”
6 UHamani wasengena; inkosi yasisithi kuye: Kwenziweni kumuntu inkosi ethokoza kudumo lwakhe? UHamani wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Ngubani inkosi engathokoza ukumnika udumo okwedlula mina?
Enti Haman kɔɔ mu, maa ɔhene no bisae se, “Dɛn na menyɛ mfa nhyɛ ɔbarima a nokware, ɔsɔ mʼani no anuonyam?” Haman bisaa ne ho se, “Hena na ɔfata sɛ ɔhene hyɛ no anuonyam sen me?”
7 UHamani wasesithi enkosini: Umuntu inkosi ethokoza kudumo lwakhe,
Enti obuae se, “Sɛ ɔhene pɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ obi anuonyam a,
8 kakulethwe isembatho sobukhosi inkosi uqobo esigqokayo, lebhiza inkosi eligadayo, lokuthi umqhele wobukhosi ubekwe enhlokweni yalo;
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nʼankasa ahentade mu baako ne nʼankasa pɔnkɔ a adehye nsɛnkyerɛnne bɔ ne moma so no ba.
9 lesembatho lebhiza kunikwe esandleni somunye weziphathamandla zenkosi ezihloniphekayo, lokuthi bagqokise lowomuntu inkosi ethokoza kudumo lwakhe, bamgadise ibhiza adabule igceke lomuzi, bamemeze phambi kwakhe bathi: Kwenziwa nje emuntwini inkosi ethokoza ngodumo lwakhe.
Ka kyerɛ mmapɔmma no mu baako a odi mu yiye, na ɔmfa ahentade nhyɛ no, na onni nʼanim mfa no mmra aguabɔbea hɔ a ɔte ɔhene no ankasa pɔnkɔ so. Ɛsɛ sɛ mmapɔmma no gye no akurum se, ‘Saa na ɔhene yɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn anuonyam no!’”
10 Inkosi yasisithi kuHamani: Phangisa thatha isembatho lebhiza njengokutsho kwakho, wenze njalo kuModekhayi umJuda ohlala esangweni lenkosi; kungawi lalizwi kukho konke okukhulumileyo.
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Haman se, “Eye koraa! Ka wo ho kɔfa ahentade no ne me pɔnkɔ no, na yɛ sɛnea wopɛ sɛ woyɛ no ma Yudani Mordekai a ɔte ahemfi pon ano no. Mma wo werɛ mmfi sɛ wobɛyɛ biribiara a woaka ho asɛm no.”
11 UHamani wasethatha isembatho lebhiza, wagqokisa uModekhayi, wamgadisa wadabula igceke lomuzi, wamemeza phambi kwakhe wathi: Kwenziwa nje emuntwini inkosi ethokoza kudumo lwakhe.
Enti Haman faa ahentade no de hyɛɛ Mordekai, de no tenaa Ɔhene no ankasa pɔnkɔ so, de no kɔɔ kurow no aguabɔbea hɔ a na ɔpae di nʼanim se, “Saa na ɔhene yɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn anuonyam no.”
12 Wasebuyela uModekhayi esangweni lenkosi, kodwa uHamani wahaluzela waya endlini yakhe elila embomboze ikhanda.
Akyiri no, Mordekai san kɔɔ ahemfi hɔ pon no ano, na Haman de ɔyaw a ano yɛ den ne aniwu yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ fie.
13 UHamani wasetshela uZereshi umkakhe labo bonke abangane bakhe konke okumehleleyo. Abahlakaniphileyo bakhe loZereshi umkakhe basebesithi kuye: Uba uModekhayi engowenzalo yamaJuda, osuqalise ukuwa phambi kwakhe, kawuyikumelana laye, kodwa uzakuwa lokuwa phambi kwakhe.
Bere a Haman bɔɔ ne yere Seres ne ne nnamfonom nyinaa amanneɛ no, wɔkae se, “Esiane sɛ Mordekai a oguu wʼanim ase yi yɛ Yudani nti, nhyehyɛe biara a wobɛyɛ atia no no renyɛ yiye. Sɛ wotoa so tia no a, ɛbɛkɔ no bɔne ama wo.”
14 Besakhuluma loHamani, abathenwa benkosi basondela, bahaluzela ukuletha uHamani edilini uEsta ayelenzile.
Bere a wogu so rekasa no, ɔhene piamfo no bae sɛ wɔrebɛfa Haman akɔ Ɛster aponto a wasiesie no ase.
