U-Esta 9
1 Kwathi ngenyanga yetshumi lambili, eyinyanga uAdari, ngosuku lwetshumi lantathu lwayo, sekusondele ilizwi lenkosi lomlayo wayo ukuthi kwenziwe, ngosuku izitha zamaJuda ezazithemba ukuwabusa ngalo, kwaguquka, ngoba amaJuda ngokwawo abusa kwababewazonda.
Pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā ua ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko ʻAtali ʻi hono hongofulu mā tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi ai, ʻi he hoko ʻo ofi ʻae fekau mo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻae tuʻi ke fakatonutonu, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻamanaki ai ʻe he ngaahi fili ʻoe Siu ke nau maʻu ʻae mālohi kiate kinautolu, (ka naʻe liliu kehe ia, koeʻuhi naʻe hoko ʻo pule ʻae kakai Siu kiate kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu: )
2 AmaJuda abuthana emizini yawo kuzo zonke izabelo zenkosi uAhasuwerusi ukwelulela isandla kulabo ababedinge ukulinyazwa kwawo; njalo kakho owayengema phambi kwawo, ngoba ukwesabeka kwawo kwakwehlele bonke abantu.
Naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi honau ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, ke puke ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ke fai kovi kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata naʻe faʻa talia ʻakinautolu: he naʻe tō ʻae manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
3 Zonke-ke iziphathamandla zezabelo, lezikhulu, lababusi, labenzi bomsebenzi inkosi eyayilabo, basiza amaJuda, ngoba ukwesabeka kukaModekhayi kwakubehlele.
Pea naʻe tokoni ki he kakai Siu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kau tokoni, mo e kau matāpule ʻae tuʻi; he naʻe tō kiate kinautolu ʻae manavahē kia Motekiai.
4 Ngoba uModekhayi wayemkhulu endlini yenkosi, lodumo lwakhe lwahamba kuzo zonke izabelo, ngoba lindoda uModekhayi yaqhubeka ikhula.
He naʻe hoko ʻo lahi ʻa Motekiai ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe ongo atu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ongolelei: he ko e tangata ni ko Motekiai naʻe fakaʻaʻau ai pe ia ke hakeakiʻi.
5 Ngakho amaJuda atshaya phakathi kwezitha zawo zonke ngokutshaya kwenkemba lokubulala lokubhubhisa, enza ngabazondi bawo ngokwentando yawo.
Pea naʻe taaʻi pehē pē ʻe he kakai Siu honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae tā ʻoe heletā, mo e tāmateʻi, mo e fakaʻauha, ʻonau fai ʻenau faʻiteliha kiate kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu.
6 EShushani isigodlo amaJuda asebulala abhubhisa abantu abangamakhulu amahlanu,
Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻo fakaʻauha ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangeau ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki.
7 loParishanidatha, loDalifoni, loAsiphatha,
[Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ]ʻa Pasanitata, mo Talifoni, mo ʻAsipata.
8 loPoratha, loAdaliya, loAridatha,
Mo Polate, mo ʻAtalia, mo ʻAlitata,
9 loParimashita, loArisayi, loAridayi, loVayizatha.
Mo Pamasita, mo ʻAlisai, mo ʻAlitai, mo Vasisata,
10 Amadodana alitshumi kaHamani indodana kaHamedatha, isitha samaJuda, awabulala; kodwa kawelulelanga isandla sawo empangweni.
Ko e foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata, ko e fili ʻoe kakai Siu, naʻa nau tāmateʻi: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ala honau nima ki he koloa vete.
11 Ngalolosuku inani lababulawayo eShushani isigodlo lafika phambi kwenkosi.
Naʻe ʻomi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi hono lau ʻokinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki.
12 Inkosi yasisithi kuEsta indlovukazi: EShushani isigodlo amaJuda abulele abhubhisa abantu abangamakhulu amahlanu lamadodana alitshumi kaHamani. Enzeni kwezinye izabelo zenkosi? Siyini-ke isicelo sakho? Njalo uzasinikwa. Siyini-ke isifiso sakho futhi? Njalo sizakwenziwa.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, “Kuo tāmateʻi mo fakaʻauha ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangeau ʻi Susani ko e kolo, mo e foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani; ko e hā kuo nau fai ʻi he ngaahi toenga puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi? Pea ko eni, ko e hā haʻo kole? Pea ʻe tuku ia kiate koe: pe ko e hā haʻo tala ʻoku toe? Pea ʻe fai ia.”
13 UEsta wasesithi: Uba kulungile enkosini kawavunyelwe amaJuda aseShushani ukwenza lakusasa njengokomthetho walamuhla; lamadodana alitshumi kaHamani kabawalengise egodweni.
Pea pehē ai ʻe Eseta, “Kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke ngofua ki he kakai Siu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Susani ke nau fai ʻapongipongi ʻo hangē ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe ʻaho ni, pea tuku ke tautau ʻae foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani ki he tautauʻanga.”
14 Inkosi yasisithi kwenziwe njalo; kwasekunikwa umthetho eShushani, lamadodana alitshumi kaHamani bawalengisa.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke fai ia pea naʻe fai ʻae fono ʻi Susani; pea naʻa nau tautau ʻae foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani.
15 AmaJuda eyeseShushani asebuthana futhi ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga uAdari, abulala abantu abangamakhulu amathathu eShushani; kodwa kawelulelanga isandla sawo empangweni.
He naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai Siu naʻe ʻi Susani ʻi hono hongofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ʻAtali, ʻonau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau ʻi Susani; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ala ki he vete.
16 Amanye kumaJuda ayesezabelweni zenkosi abuthana-ke amela impilo yabo, aphumula ezitheni zawo, abulala kwabawazondayo izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu; kodwa kawelulelanga isandla sawo empangweni.
Ka ko e ngaahi Siu niʻihi naʻe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi naʻa nau fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻonau tuʻu tali tau koeʻuhi ko ʻenau moʻui, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae mālōlō mei honau ngaahi fili, pea tāmateʻi ʻi honau ngaahi fili ko e toko fitu mano mo e toko nima afe, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ala ki he vete,
17 Kwakungosuku lwetshumi lantathu lwenyanga uAdari. Asephumula ngolwetshumi lane lwayo, alwenza lwaba lusuku lwedili lentokozo.
ʻI hono hongofulu mā tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe [māhina ]ko ʻAtali: pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ia naʻa nau mālōlō, ʻonau ngaohi ia ko e ʻaho kātoanga kai mo fakafiefia:
18 Kodwa amaJuda aseShushani abuthana ngolwetshumi lantathu lwayo langolwetshumi lane lwayo; asephumula ngolwetshumi lanhlanu lwayo, alwenza lwaba lusuku lwedili lentokozo.
Ka ko e kakai Siu naʻe ʻi Susani naʻa nau fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻi hono hongofulu mā tolu, pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā fā, pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā nima naʻa nau mālōlō, ʻo ngaohi ia ko e ʻaho kātoanga kai mo fakafiefia.
19 Ngenxa yalokhu amaJuda emaphandleni ahlala emizini emaphandleni enza usuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga uAdari lwaba ngolwentokozo ledili, losuku oluhle, lolokuthumelana izabelo.
Ko ia ko e kakai Siu ʻoe ngaahi potu kakai, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo taʻehanoʻā, naʻa nau ngaohi hono hongofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ko ʻAtali, ko e ʻaho fiefia mo kātoanga kai, mo e ʻaho lelei, ke feʻaveʻaki pē ʻae ngaahi ʻinasi kiate kinautolu.
20 UModekhayi wasezibhala lezizinto, wathumela izincwadi kuwo wonke amaJuda ayekuzo zonke izabelo zenkosi uAhasuwerusi, aseduze lakhatshana,
Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Motekiai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻo ne fekau ʻae ngaahi tohi ki he kakai Siu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, ʻae ofi mo e mamaʻo,
21 ukumisa phakathi kwabo ukwenza usuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga uAdari losuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwayo kuwo wonke umnyaka ngomnyaka,
Ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae meʻa ni ʻiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi maʻu hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ʻAtali, mo hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē,
22 njengokwensuku amaJuda aphumula ngazo ezitheni zawo, lenyanga eyaphendulwa kuwo kusuka osizini kusiya kuntokozo, lekulileni kube lusuku oluhle, azenze zibe zinsuku zedili lentokozo, lezokuthumelana izabelo, lezipho kubayanga.
ʻAia ko e ngaahi ʻaho naʻe mālōlō ai ʻae kakai Siu mei honau ngaahi fili, mo e māhina naʻe foki ai ʻae mamahi meiate kinautolu ki he fiefia, pea mei he tangi ki he ʻaho lelei: koeʻuhi ke nau ngaohi ia ko e ongo ʻaho kātoanga kai mo fakafiefia, mo e feʻaveʻaki ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kiate kinautolu, mo e ngaahi meʻa foaki ki he masiva.
23 AmaJuda emukela lokho ayesekuqalile ukukwenza, lalokho uModekhayi ayewabhalele khona.
Pea naʻe alea ʻae kakai Siu ke fai pe ʻo hangē ko ia kuo nau kamata, pea hangē ko ia naʻe tohi ʻe Motekiai kiate kinautolu;
24 Ngoba uHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi, isitha sawo wonke amaJuda, wayecebe mayelana lamaJuda ukuwachitha, waphosa iPuri, eyinkatho, ukuwachoboza lokuwabhubhisa.
Ko e meʻa ʻia Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata, ko e tangata Ekaki, ko e fili ʻoe kakai Siu kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne filioʻi kovi ki he kakai Siu ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, mo ne fai ʻae “Puli,” ʻaia ko e talotalo, ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, mo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu;
25 Kodwa lapho uEsta efika phambi kwenkosi, yalaya ngencwadi ukuthi icebo lakhe elibi ayelicebe ngamaJuda libuyele ekhanda lakhe; basebebalengisa yena lamadodana akhe egodweni.
Ka ʻi he haʻu ʻa Eseta ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa ne fekau ʻi he ngaahi tohi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene filioʻi angakovi, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatupu ki he kakai Siu, ke foki mai ia ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona, pea ke tautau ia mo hono ngaahi foha ki he tautauʻanga.
26 Ngenxa yalokhu babiza lezozinsuku ngokuthi iPurimi ngebizo lePuri. Ngenxa yalokhu, ngenxa yawo wonke amazwi aleyoncwadi, lababekubonile mayelana lalokho, lokwakubehlele,
Ko ia naʻa nau ui ai ʻae ʻaho ko ia, ko Pulimi ko e hingoa mei he lea ko Puli. Ko ia ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe tohi ni, pea mo ia naʻa nau mamata ki ai, ʻaia ʻoku kau ki he meʻa ni, pea mo ia naʻe hoko kiate kinautolu,
27 amaJuda amisa azemukelela wona lenzalo yawo labo bonke abazihlanganisa lawo, ukuze bangeqi, ukugcina lezinsuku ezimbili, njengokombhalo wazo, lanjengokwesikhathi sazo esimisiweyo, kuwo wonke umnyaka lomnyaka,
Naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he kakai Siu, pea fakahoko kiate kinautolu, pea ki honau hako, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe fakahoko ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu, pea ke ʻoua naʻa ngata, kenau tauhi ʻae ongo ʻaho ni ʻo fakatatau ki heʻena tohi, pea fakatatau ki hono kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē:
28 ukuthi lezinsuku zikhunjulwe zigcinwe kuso sonke isizukulwana lesizukulwana, usapho losapho, isabelo ngesabelo, lomuzi ngomuzi, ukuthi lezinsuku zePurimi zingeqiwa phakathi kwamaJuda, lesikhumbuzo sazo singapheli enzalweni yawo.
Pea koeʻuhi ke manatuʻi mo tauhi ʻae ongo ʻaho ni, ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē [tuku ]fakaholo, ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē, ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he kolo kotoa pē: pea ko e ongo ʻaho ʻoe Pulimi ke ʻoua naʻa ngata mei he kakai Siu, pea ʻoua naʻa mole ʻae manatu ki ai mei honau hako.
29 UEsta indlovukazi, indodakazi kaAbihayili, loModekhayi umJuda, basebebhala ngamandla wonke ukuqinisa lincwadi yesibili yePurimi.
Pea naʻe tohi ai ʻe Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApieli, mo Motekiai ko e Siu, ʻi he mālohi lahi, ke fakatuʻumaʻu hono ua ʻoe tohi ʻo Pulimi.
30 Wasethumela izincwadi kuwo wonke amaJuda ezabelweni ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa zombuso kaAhasuwerusi, amazwi okuthula leqiniso,
Pea naʻa ne fekau ʻae ngaahi tohi mo e ngaahi lea ʻae melino mo e moʻoni, ki he kakai Siu kotoa pē, ki he ngaahi vāhenga fonua ʻe teau mā uofulu mā fitu ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo ʻAhasivelo,
31 ukuqinisa lezinsuku zePurimi ngezikhathi zazo ezimisiweyo njengokumisa phezu kwawo kukaModekhayi umJuda loEsta indlovukazi, lanjengokuzimisela kwawo wona lenzalo yawo, indaba zokuzila ukudla lokukhala kwawo.
Ke fakamoʻoni ki he ongo ʻaho ʻoe Pulimi ʻi hona kuonga, ʻo hangē ko e tuʻutuʻuni naʻe fekau ʻe Motekiai ko e Siu mo Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, pea hangē ko ʻena tuʻutuʻuni moʻo kinaua pea maʻa honau hako, ko e meʻa ʻoe ʻaukai mo ʻenau tangi.
32 Ilizwi likaEsta laseliqinisa lezizindaba zePurimi; kwasekubhalwa egwalweni.
Pea ko e fono ʻa Eseta naʻe fakapapau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Pulimi; pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi he tohi.
