2 Vabati vose vomuumambo vaimira pamusuo vakamupfugamira vakapa rukudzo kuna Hamani, nokuti mambo akanga arayira kuti aitirwe izvi. Asi Modhekai akanga asingamupfugamiri kana kumukudza.

Hagi maka ranra kva vahe'ma kini ne'mofo kuma kafante'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za zamare'na re'za ra agia Hemanina ami'naze. Na'ankure kini ne'mo'a, e'ina hiho huno huzmante'negu anara hu'naze. Hianagi Modekai'a ana nera antahiminora arena reno ra agia omi'ne.

3 Ipapo vabati vaimira pasuo ramambo vakabvunza Modhekai vakati, “Sei usingateereri murayiro wamambo?”

Anante kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'ma kini ne' kuma kafante'ma nemani'za vahe'mo'za Modekaina antahige'za, nahigenka kini ne'mo'ma hiankea rutagre'nane?

4 Zuva nezuva vaitaura naye asi iye akaramba kuvanzwa. Naizvozvo vakaudza Hamani izvozvo kuti vaone kuti maitiro aModhekai angangoregererwa here, nokuti iye akanga avaudza kuti aiva muJudha.

Hagi maka knane knanena Modekaina nanekea asami'nazanagi, kezmia ontahige'za ana zantera Hemani'a na'a huntegahifi ke'nune nehu'za Hemanina ome asmi'naze. Na'ankure Modekaia'a huno nagra Jiu vahe mani'noanki'na Hemanintera narena oregosue huno hu'ne.

Hianagi Modekai'ma agriake'ma ahe frizankura avresra Hemani'a hu'ne. Na'ankure Modekai'a Jiu ne' mani'noema huno'ma higenoma keno antahinoma nehuno'a, Jiu vahetmima Serksisima kegavama hu'nea maka mopafima mani'naza vahera maka zamahe fanene hu vagarenaku agesa antahi'ne.

7 Mugore regumi namaviri raMambo Zekisesi mumwedzi wokutanga, mwedzi waNisani, vakakanda puri (ndiwo mujenya) pamberi paHamani kuti vasarudze zuva nomwedzi. Mujenya wakawira pamwedzi wegumi nemiviri, mwedzi waAdha.

Hagi kini ne' Serksisi'ma 12fu'a kafuma kinima nemanigeno'a, ese ikana Nisanie nehaza ikantera Hemanima Jiu vahe'ma zamahenia kna erintenaku hige'za agri avuga satu zokago re'za ke'naze. Hagi satu zokagoma re'za kazana 12fu ikana Adarie nehaza ikamofonte efore hu'ne.

8 Ipapo Hamani akati kuna Mambo Zekisesi, “Kuna vamwe vanhu vakapararira nokutekeshera vari pakati pamarudzi mumatunhu oushe hwenyu vane tsika yakasiyana navamwe vanhu vose uye havateereri mirayiro yamambo; hazvinganakiri mambo kuti muvaregerere.

Hagi anante Hemani'a kini ne' Serksisinte vuno amanage huno ome asmi'ne, Kegavama hu'nana mopafina mago'a vahera ruzahu vahetami mani'naze. Zamagri zamavu'zmavamo'a ama mopafi vahe'mokizmi zamavuzmava knara osu'ne. Hagi kasegezmimo'a ruzahu hu'neankino, kagri kasegea novaririze. E'ina hu'negu zamatresanke'za amafina omanitfa hanaze.

9 Kana mambo achifara nazvo, ngapaiswe chirevo chokuti vaparadzwe, uye ini ndicharipa matarenda zviuru gumi esirivha mudura repfuma yamambo kuti igoshandiswa kuripira avo vachabata basa iri ramambo.”

Hagi kini ne'moka ama ana kere'ma musema hanunka, ana vahetmima zamahe friho hunka huvempa hunka avona krenanke'na kna'amo'a 375 tani hu'nenia silva zago, feno zanka'arema kegavama hu'naza vahera zamisuge'za fenoma nentana nompina ome antegahaze.

10 Naizvozvo mambo akatora mhete yechindori kubva pamunwe wake akaipa kuna Hamani mwanakomana waHamedhata, muAgagi, muvengi wavaJudha.

Hagi ana kema kini ne'mo'ma nentahino'a, avonkreno hu izoma huno renekamrea rini azampinti zafino Agati nagapinte ne' Hamedata nemofo Jiu vahe ha' ne' Hemanina nemino,

11 Mambo akati kuna Hamani, “Chengeta mari uye uite zvaunoda navanhu.”

amanage hu'ne, Zagoma naminaku'ma hanana kagraka'a enerinka, na'anoma hunaku'ma hanana zana amne ana vahetmina huzmanto.

12 Zvino pazuva regumi namatatu romwedzi wokutanga vanyori vamambo vakadaidzwa. Vakanyora namanyorero enyika imwe neimwe uye nomutauro worudzi rumwe norumwe zvose zvakarayirwa naHamani kumakurukota ehurumende, navabati venyika dzakasiyana-siyana namakurukota amarudzi akasiyana-siyana. Tsamba idzi dzakanyorwa muzita raMambo Zekisesi pachake uye dzikasimbiswa nemhete yake.

E'inage higeno ese ikantera 13ni kna zupa Hemani'a kehige'za kini nete'ma avonkre eri'zama e'neri'za vahe'mo'za eme atru hu'naze. Hagi maka kema zamasamia kea mago mago kumate vahe'mofo agerupinti'ene avompinti avona krete'za kini nemofo rinireti avame'za ana avontera rekamrentete'za ranra kva vahetegane (Satraps), gavana vahetamintegane atrazageno mago mago provinsifima mani'nazarega vuno eno hu'ne.

13 Matsamba aya akatumirwa navatakuri vamatsamba kunyika dzose dzamambo Zekisesi dziine murayiro wokuparadza, kuuraya, nokupedza vaJudha vose, vadiki navakuru, vakadzi navana vadiki, nokupamba zvinhu zvavo, nezuva rimwe chete, pazuva regumi namatatu romwedzi wegumi nemiviri, iwo mwedzi waAdha.

Hagi avoma atrazageno maka kumategama vuno eno'ma hu'nea avomo'a anage hu'ne, 12fu ikamofona 13ni knazupa magoke knafinke Jiu vahera mofavrereti vuno tavava ozafare'ma uhanati'neana zamahe hana hinkeno, kini ne'mo'ma kegavama hu'nea mopafina miko omanitfa hina, maka zazmi eriho huno kretre'ne.

14 Rimwe gwaro rechirevo ichi raizodzikwa somutemo mudunhu rimwe nerimwe, vanhu vendudzi dzose vachizoziviswa kuti vagare vakagadzirira zuva iroro.

Hagi maka kumate vahe'mo'za ana avona eri'za kasege me'nenige'za amage antegahaze hu'za nehu'za, ana knama esigu tro hu'za manigahaze.

15 Vatakuri vamatsamba vakabuda nokukasika sokurayira kwamambo, vakandozivisa chirevo panhare yeShushani. Mambo naHamani vakagara pasi kuti vanwe, asi guta reShushani rakanyonganiswa.
