Ma inge sikyak in pacl lal Ahasuerus, su tuh leum fin facl siofok longoul itkosr, India me na nwe Ethiopia.

In len ingo Tokosra Ahasuerus el muta ke tron lal in acn pot kulana in acn Susa.
3 ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwakhe wenzela iziphathamandla zakhe lenceku zakhe zonke idili. Amandla ePerisiya leMede, izinduna lababusi bezabelo babephambi kwakhe,
In yac se aktolu ma el tokosra, el orala kufwa se nu sin mwet leum ac mwet fulat lal nukewa. Un mwet mweun lun Persia ac Media elos wi, oayapa governor ac mwet fulat lun facl nukewa el leumi.
4 lapho etshengisa inotho yenkazimulo yombuso wakhe lobugugu bobuhle bobukhulu bakhe insuku ezinengi, insuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili.
Ke lusen malem onkosr el akkalemye lupan kasrup lal nu selos, ac el konkin ke fulat lal ac wolana lun acn sel.
5 Kwathi lezonsuku sezigcwalisekile, inkosi yenzela bonke abantu abatholakala eShushani isigodlo idili, kusukela komkhulu kusiya komncinyane, insuku eziyisikhombisa, egumeni lesivande sesigodlo senkosi.
Toko, tokosra el oru sie pac kufwa nu sin mukul nukewa in siti fulat Susa, mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup oana sie. Orek ke wik nufon se ke inkul lun tokosra su yokla ke ros ac sak.
6 Kwakulamalembu amhlophe, amalembu acolekileyo, laluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ebotshelwe ngentambo zelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu leziyibubende emasongweni esiliva lezinsikeni zelitshe le-alibasta. Imibheda yayingeyegolide lesiliva phezu kwendawo egandelwe ngamatshe abomvu, le-alibasta, lamapharele, lamnyama.

Mwe muta orekla ke gold ac silver takinyukla ke likinum ke inkul sac, su loeyukla ke eot fwel ac saok inge: marble fasrfasr, srusra, folfol, ac eot saromrom.
7 Basebenathisa ngezitsha zegolide, lezitsha zaziyizitsha ezehlukeneyo, lewayini lesikhosini laba linengi njengokwesandla senkosi.
Mwet uh nimnim ke cup gold ma orekla ke kain in lumah puspis, ac tokosra el kulang ac sang elos nim yokna ke wain lal sifacna.
8 Lokunatha kwakungokomthetho, kungekho obamba ngamandla; ngoba ngokunjalo inkosi yayilayile kwabakhulu bonke bendlu yayo ukuthi benze njengokufisa komuntu lomuntu.
Wangin lupa se sikulyen mwe nimnim — tokosra el sapkin nu sin mwet kulansap lal tuh in filfilla nu sin mwet nukewa in eis lupa na mwet lungse.
9 UVashiti indlovukazi laye wenzela abesifazana idili endlini yesikhosini inkosi uAhasuwerusi ayelayo.
In pacl sac pacna, Kasra Vashti el oru sie kufwa in lohm sin tokosra, nu sin mutan uh.
10 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa, inhliziyo yenkosi isithokozile ngewayini, yathi kuboMehumani, uBhizitha, uHaribona, uBhigitha, loAbhagitha, uZethari, loKarikasi, abathenwa abayisikhombisa ababesebenza phambi kwenkosi uAhasuwerusi,
Ke len se akitkosr lun kufwa lal tokosra, el nimnim ac pulakin pwar lal. Ouinge el solani eunuch itkosr su mwet kulansap lal sifacna: Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, ac Carkas.
11 ukuthi balethe uVashiti indlovukazi phambi kwenkosi elomqhele wesikhosini, ukutshengisa abantu leziphathamandla ubuhle bakhe, ngoba wayekhangeleka kuhle.
El sap nu selos elos in usalu Kasra Vashti, ac elan sonang tefuro lun kasra. Kasra el mutan na oasku se, ac tokosra el ke konkin katoiyal nu sin mwet fulat ac mwet nukewa ma wi kufwa sac.
12 Kodwa indlovukazi uVashiti yala ukubuya ngelizwi lenkosi elalingesandla sabathenwa. Ngakho inkosi yathukuthela kakhulu, lolaka lwayo lwavutha phakathi kwayo.
Tusruktu ke mwet kulansap uh fahkang nu sel Kasra Vashti sap lun tokosra, el tia lungse som. Ma se inge oru tokosra el foloyak.
13 Inkosi yasisithi kwabahlakaniphileyo ababesazi izikhathi (ngoba lalinjalo ilizwi lenkosi phambi kwabo bonke abaziyo umthetho lesahlulelo,
In pacl ma oasr mwe siyuk ke ma sap ac oakwuk, tokosra el ac pangoneni mwet pwapa lal, mweyen elos pa etu ouiya ma fal in orek.
14 lalabo ababeseduze layo babengoKarishena, uShethari, uAdimatha, uTarshishi, uMeresi, uMarisena, uMemukani, iziphathamandla eziyisikhombisa zePerisiya leMede, ezazibona ubuso benkosi, ezazihlala phambili embusweni):
Elos su el kwacna siyuk kasru se pa Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, ac Memucan — mwet fulat itkosr lun Persia ac Media su wal fulat oemeet in tokosrai lal.
15 Ngokomthetho kungenziwani ngendlovukazi uVashiti ngenxa yokuthi kayenzanga ilizwi lenkosi uAhasuwerusi ngesandla sabathenwa?
El fahk nu sin mwet inge, “Nga, Tokosra Ahasuerus, nga tuh supwala mwet kulansap luk nu yorol Kasra Vashti ke sie sap ku, a el tia lungse akos sap sac! Mea ma sap uh akkalemye mu kut in oru nu sel?”
16 UMemukani wasesithi phambi kwenkosi leziphathamandla: UVashiti indlovukazi wonile kungeyisikho enkosini kuphela, kodwa lakuziphathamandla zonke lebantwini bonke abasezabelweni zonke zenkosi uAhasuwerusi.
Na Memucan el akkalemye nu sin tokosra ac mwet fulat lal: “Ma koluk se ma Kasra Vashti el oru inge tia ma nu sum mukena, a ma nu sin mwet fulat lom ac oayapa mukul nukewa in tokosrai uh!
17 Ngoba isenzo sendlovukazi sizaphumela kubo bonke abesifazana, kuze kuthi badelele omkabo emehlweni abo, nxa besithi: Inkosi uAhasuwerusi watshela ukuthi kulethwe uVashiti indlovukazi phambi kwayo, kodwa kayizanga.
Mutan nukewa in tokosrai uh fin lohng ma kasra el oru inge, na elos ac mutawauk in pilesru pac mukul tumalos. Elos ac mu, ‘Tokosra Ahasuerus el sap solal Kasra Vashti nu yorol, a el srangesr som.’
18 Yebo mhlalokho amakhosikazi ePerisiya leMede ezwe isenzo sendlovukazi azakuthi kuzo zonke iziphathamandla zenkosi, kube khona ukudelela lokuthukuthela okwedlulisayo.
Ke mutan kien mwet fulat Persia ac Media elos ac lohng ke ma kasra el oru inge, elos ac srumun misenge pacna nu sin mukul tumalos. Mutan payuk yen nukewa ac fah tila akfulatye mukul tumalos, ac mukul tumalos ac fah sulung sin mutan kialos.
19 Uba kulungile enkosini kakuphume umthetho wesikhosini kuyo, kakubhalwe emithethweni yamaPerisiya lamaMede, ongeguqulwe, ukuthi uVashiti kayikungena phambi kwenkosi uAhasuwerusi; inkosi inike-ke ubukhosikazi bakhe komunye onjengaye ongcono kulaye.
Fin wo sin Tokosra, orala sie mwe fahkak sin tokosra lah Vashti el fah tia sifilpa sikyak ye mutun tokosra. Sang in simla ke ma sap lun Persia ac Media, tuh in fah tiana ku in ikilyukla. Na toko, sang wal lun kasra nu sin sie mutan ma wo lukel.
20 Usuzwakele umthetho wenkosi ezawenza embusweni wayo wonke (ngoba mkhulu) bonke abesifazana bazanika inhlonipho kubomkabo, kusukela komkhulu kusiya komncinyane.
Ke pacl se mwe fahkak lom sulkakinyuk sasla fin tokosrai lulap se inge, mutan nukewa ac fah akpusiselyalos nu sin mukul tumalos, elos finne kasrup ku sukasrup.”
21 Njalo indaba yayilungile emehlweni enkosi leziphathamandla; inkosi yasisenza njengokwelizwi likaMemukani.
Tokosra ac mwet fulat lal nukewa insese nu ke nunak sac, ac tokosra el oru oana ma Memucan el fahk.
22 Yasithumela izincwadi kuzo zonke izabelo zenkosi, kusabelo lesabelo njengombhalo waso, lakubo abantu labantu njengokolimi lwabo, ukuthi ileyo laleyondoda ibe ngumbusi endlini yayo, ikhulume njengokolimi lwabantu bakibo.
El supwalik mwe fahkak sac nu sin kais sie facl ma el leumi, ke kas lalos ac ouiyen sim lalos, fahk mu kais sie mukul in leum in lohm sel sifacna.
