Esteri 6
1 Usiku ihwohwo mambo akashaya hope; saka akarayira kuti mabhuku enhoroondo nezvinyorwa zvokutonga kwake zviuyiswe uye agozviverengerwa.
Na butu wana, lokola mokonzi akokaki kolala te, asengaki ete bamemela ye buku ya masolo, masolo ya bokonzi na ye, mpo ete batanga yango liboso na ye.
2 Vakawana zvakanyorwamo kuti Modhekai akaburitsa pachena kuti Bhigitana naTereshi, vabati vaviri vamambo vaichengeta mukova, vakanga varangana kuuraya Mambo Zekisesi.
Emonanaki ete bakomaki boye kati na yango: Maridoshe afundaki Bigitani mpe Tereshi, basoda mibale oyo baboma bango mokongo mpe bazalaki kokengela ekuke ya mokonzi, oyo basalaki likita mpo na koboma mokonzi Kizerisesi.
3 Mambo akabvunza akati, “Modhekai akagamuchira kukudzwa nerumbidzo yei nokuda kwaizvozvi.” Varanda vake vakati, “Hapana chaakaitirwa.”
Mokonzi atunaki: — Lokumu mpe lifuti nini Maridoshe azwaki mpo na yango? Basali na ye bazongisaki: — Basala ata eloko moko te mpo na ye.
4 Mambo akati, “Ndiani ari muruvazhe?” Zvino Hamani akanga achangopinda muruvazhe rwokunze rwapamuzinda kuti azotaura kuna mambo maererano nokusungirira Modhekai pamatanda aakanga amisa.
Mokonzi atunaki: — Nani azali kati na lopango? Nzokande Amani awutaki kokota na lopango ya libanda ya ndako ya mokonzi mpo na kosolola na ye mpo ete badiembika Maridoshe na nzete oyo atelemisaki mpo na ye.
5 Varanda vake vakati, “Hamani amire paruvazhe?” Mambo akarayira achiti, “Uyai naye muno.”
Basali ya mokonzi bazongisaki: — Ezali Amani nde azali kati na lopango. Mokonzi alobaki: — Bokotisa ye.
6 Hamani paakapinda, mambo akamubvunza achiti, “Chii chingaitwa namambo kumunhu waangafarira kukudza?” Ipapo Hamani akati mumwoyo make, “Ndiani aripo angada kukudzwa namambo kunze kwangu?”
Tango Amani akotaki, mokonzi atunaki ye: — Tokoki kosala nini mpo na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu? Amani amilobelaki: « Nani lisusu oyo mokonzi akoki kopesa lokumu soki ngai te? »
7 Naizvozvo akapindura mambo akati, “Iye munhu, mambo waanofarira kukudza,
Amani azongiselaki mokonzi: — Mpo na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu,
8 ngavamutorere nguo youshe yakambopfekwa namambo nebhiza rakambotasvwa namambo, rine korona youshe yakaiswa pamusoro paro.
tika ete bamema nzambala ya bokonzi oyo mokonzi alataka elongo na mpunda oyo mokonzi amataka mpe batia motole ya bokonzi na moto ya mpunda yango.
9 Ipapo nguo youshe nebhiza ngazviiswe kuno mumwe wamakurukota amambo anokudzwa kwazvo. Ngavapfekedze munhu uyo mambo waanofarira kukudza, vamutungamirire ari pabhiza vachipinda nomumigwagwa iri pakati peguta, vachidanidzira pamberi pake vachiti, ‘Izvi ndizvo zvinoitirwa munhu uyo mambo anofarira kukudza!’”
Tika ete bapesa nzambala mpe mpunda yango epai ya kalaka oyo aleki na lokumu kati na bakalaka ya mokonzi, mpe tika ete balatisa nzambala na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu, mpe tika ete batambolisa ye likolo ya mpunda na balabala ya engumba na kotatola liboso na ye: « Tala makambo oyo mokonzi asali mpo na moto oyo ye alingi kopesa lokumu! »
10 Mambo akarayira Hamani achiti, “Enda nokukurumidza, utore nguo nebhiza uitire Modhekai muJudha, sezvawareva, uyo anogara pasuo ramambo. Usambosiya kana chinhu chimwe chezvawareva.”
Mokonzi alobaki na Amani: — Kende noki koluka nzambala mpe mpunda ndenge olobi, mpe sala yango mpo na Moyuda Maridoshe oyo asalaka mosala na ye na ekuke ya mokonzi. Kati na makambo nyonso oyo osili koloba, kotika ata eloko moko te.
11 Saka Hamani akatora nguo nebhiza, akapfekedza Modhekai, uye akamutungamirira ari pamusoro pebhiza napakati pemigwagwa yeguta, achidanidzira pamberi pake achiti, “Izvi ndizvo zvinoitwa namambo kumunhu waanofarira kukudza!”
Amani azwaki nzambala mpe mpunda, alatisaki Maridoshe nzambala yango mpe atambolisaki ye likolo ya mpunda na balabala nyonso ya engumba na kotatola liboso na ye: « Tala makambo oyo mokonzi asali mpo na moto oyo alingi kopesa lokumu! »
12 Mushure mezvo Modhekai akadzokera pasuo ramambo. Asi Hamani akakurumidza kudzokera kumba, achichema akafukidza musoro wake,
Sima, Maridoshe azongaki na ekuke ya mokonzi; kasi Amani azongaki noki na ndako na ye, na soni mpe azipa moto na ye.
13 uye akandoudza Zereshi mukadzi wake neshamwari dzake dzose zvose zvakanga zvaitika kwaari. Varayiri vake nomukadzi wake Zereshi vakati kwaari, “Sezvo Modhekai, uyo aita kuti uwe pamberi pake, ari wechiJudha, haugoni kumirisana naye, zvirokwazvo uchaparara!”
Amani ayebisaki mwasi na ye, Zereshi, mpe baninga na ye nyonso makambo oyo ekomelaki ye. Bapesi toli na ye mpe mwasi na ye, Zereshi, balobaki na ye: — Lokola kokweyisama na yo ebandi liboso ya Maridoshe oyo azali Moyuda, okokoka kolonga ye te; solo penza, okokweyisama lisusu na se koleka!
14 Vakati vachiri kutaura naye, varanda vamambo vakasvika ndokuita kuti Hamani aende kumabiko akanga agadzirwa naEsteri.
Wana bazalaki nanu kosolola na ye, basoda ya mokonzi, oyo baboma bango mokongo, bayaki mpe bamemaki Amani na lombangu na feti oyo Ester abongisaki.
