< Esteri 7 >

1 Naizvozvo mambo naHamani vakaenda kundodya navaHosi Esteri,
Heoi, kua tae te kingi raua ko Hamana ki te hakari, ki te kuini, ki a Ehetere.
2 uye pavakanga vachinwa waini pazuva rechipiri, mambo akabvunzazve akati, “VaHosi Esteri, muri kukumbireiko? Muchapiwa. Chikumbiro chenyu ndechei? Kunyange kusvika pahafu youshe, muchazviitirwa.”
A ka mea ano te kingi ki a Ehetere i te rua o nga ra, i te mea e inu waina ana, He aha tau e mea nei mau, e Kuini Ehetere? Ka hoatu hoki ki a koe. He aha hoki tau e tono ai? ahakoa ko te hawhe o te kingitanga, ka meatia.
3 Ipapo vaHosi Esteri vakapindura vakati, “Kana ndawana nyasha kwamuri, imi Mambo, uye kana zvichifadza mambo, ndinokumbira kuti ndipiwe upenyu hwangu, ndicho chichemo changu, uye navanhu vangu, ndicho chikumbiro changu.
Katahi ka whakautu a Kuini Ehetere, ka mea, Ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, e te kingi, a ki te pai te kingi; ko taku e mea ai maku, ko ahau kia whakaorangia, ko taku e tono nei maku, ko toku iwi.
4 Nokuti ini navanhu vangu takatengeswa kuti tiurayiwe tiparadzwe zvachose. Kana dai takanga tangotengeswa senhapwa dzavarume navakadzi, ndingadai ndaingonyarara, nokuti kutambudzika kwakadai hakukodzere kuti mambo akanganiswe zvaari kuita.”
Kua oti hoki matou, ahau me toku iwi, te hoko kia whakangaromia, kia whakamatea, kia huna. Otiia me i hokona matou hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine, kua whakarongo puku ahau: e kore ano ia e rite i te hoariri nga mea a te kingi ka maumauria n ei.
5 Mambo Zekisesi akabvunza vaHosi Esteri akati, “Ndiani iyeye? Aripi munhu iyeye afunga kuita chinhu chakadai?”
Katahi ka utua e Kingi Ahahueruha, ka mea ki a Kuini Ehetere, Ko wai ra? Kei hea ra te tangata i pokanoa nei tona ngakau ki te mea i tenei mea?
6 Esteri akati, “Mudzivisi nomuvengi ndiyeyu Hamani ane utsinye.” Ipapo Hamani akatya pamberi pamambo navahosi.
Ano ra ko Ehetere, He hoariri, he hoa whawhai, anei ko te Hamana kino nei. Katahi ka mataku a Hamana i te aroaro o te kingi raua ko te kuini.
7 Mambo akaviruka nehasha, akasiya waini yake ndokuenda kubindu romuzinda. Asi Hamani, achiona kuti mambo akanga atoronga magumo ake, akasara achiti akumbire upenyu hwake kuna vaHosi Esteri.
Na whakatika ana te kingi, i te inumanga waina, he riri hoki nona, a haere ana ki te kari o te whare. Ko Hamana hoki, tu tonu ki te inoi ki a Kuini Ehetere mona kia whakaorangia: i kite hoki ia kua takoto te he mona i te kingi.
8 Mambo paakadzoka kubva kubindu romuzinda achidzokera kuimba yamabiko, Hamani akanga azviwisira pachigaro chakanga chigere Esteri. Mambo akati, “Asi otoda kuchinyira mambokadzi muno mumba ndinaye here?” Pakarepo shoko parakangobuda mumuromo wamambo, vakafukidza uso hwaHamani.
Katahi ka hoki te kingi i te kari o te whare ki te whare inu waina, na ko Hamana kua takoto ki te takotoranga o Ehetere. Katahi ka mea te kingi, E takotoria ano ranei e ia te kuini i toku aroaro i te whare? Puta ana te kupu i te mangai o te kingi, ka hipokina e ratou te mata o Hamana.
9 Ipapo Habhona, mumwe wavaranda vaishandira mambo akati, “Pane danda rakareba makubhiti makumi mashanu rakamiswa paimba yaHamani. Akanga akarigadzirira Modhekai, uyo akataura zvakanaka kuti mambo abatsirwe.” Mambo akati, “Musungirirei iye ipapo!”
Katahi ka mea a Harapona, tetahi o nga rangatira ruma i te aroaro o te kingi, Nana, te tarawa e rima tekau whatianga te tiketike, i hanga e Hamana mo Mororekai, nana nei te kupu pai mo te kingi, e tu ra i te whare o Hamana. Ano ra ko te kingi, Ta ronatia ia ki runga.
10 Naizvozvo vakasungirira Hamani pamatanda aakanga agadzirira Modhekai. Ipapo kutsamwa kwamambo kwakadzikira.
Heoi taronatia ana a Hamana ki runga ki te tarawa i oti ra i a ia mo Mororekai, a ka mariri iho te riri o te kingi.
