Esteri 1
1 Izvi ndizvo zvakaitika panguva yaZekisesi, uya Zekisesi akatonga nyika zana namakumi maviri nenomwe kubva kuIndia kusvika kuEtiopia:
I KE kau ia Ahasuero, (o Ahasuero ia i alii ai maluna o na aina hookahi haneri me ka iwakaluakumamahiku, mai Inia mai a Aitiopia: )
2 Panguva iyo mambo Zekisesi akatonga ari pachigaro chake choumambo munhare yeShushani
Ia manawa, i ka wa e noho ana o Ahasuero ke alii maluna o ka nohoalii o kona aupuni, aia ma Susana ka pakaua;
3 uye mugore rake rechitatu akaitira makurukota ake ose navabati vake mabiko. Vakuru vehondo yePezhia neMedhia, machinda namakurukota enyika aivapo.
I ke kolu o ka makahiki o kona nohoalii ana, hana iho la ia i ahaaina na kona poe alii a pau, a me kana poe kauwa; a aia hoi imua ona ka poe koa o Peresia a me Media, o na kaukaualii hoi, a me na'lii o na aina:
4 Akaratidza kuwanda kwepfuma youmambo hwake uye nokuyevedza nokubwinya kwoumambo hwake kwamazuva zana namakumi masere akazara.
A hoike oia i ka waiwai nani o kona aupuni, a me ka hanohauo o kona maikai nui, no na la he nui loa, hookahi haneri a me kanawalu mau la.
5 Mazuva aya akati apera, mambo akaita mabiko akapedza mazuva manomwe, mumunhanga webindu romuzinda wamambo achiitira vanhu vose kubva kuvadiki kusvikira kuvakuru, vaigara munhare yeShushani.
A hala ia mau la, alaila, hana iho la ke alii i ahaaina, i ehiku la, ma ke kahua pakaua o ka hale o ke alii, no na mea a pau i loaa ma Susana ka pakaua, no na mea koikoi a me na makaainana.
6 Bindu raiva nezvakarembedzwa zvichena nezvebhuruu zvomucheka, zvakanga zvakasungirirwa nezvisungo zvomucheka muchena nowepepuru, kuzvikochekedzo zvesirivha pamusoro pembiru dzamatombo akanga akavezwa. Paiva nezvigaro zvegoridhe nezvesirivha pamusoro penzira yamatombo mashava, machena namamwewo anokosha.
O na paku hoi, he lole huluhulu keokeo, a he olona keokeo, a me ka poni, ua paa i na kaula huluhulu keokeo, maikai, a me ka ulaula, i nakiia iloko o na komo dala, ma na kia pohaku keokeo. O na noho hilinai, he gula ia a me ke kala maluna o ke kahua pohaku omaomao, a keokeo, i hoonoho pu ia me na momi a me ka ea.
7 Waini yaipiwa vanhu mumidziyo yegoridhe, yakasiyana-siyana, uye waini yamambo yakanga yakawanda, samambo, asingavanyimi napaduku.
Haawi lakou i ka mea inu maloko o na kiaha gula, a ua like ole kekahi kiaha me kekahi kiaha, a ua nui ka waina maikai, e like me ka aoao mau o ke alii.
8 Vakakokwa vakabvumirwa kunwa pamadiro, nokuti mambo akarayira vatariri vewaini vose kuti vagovere mumwe nomumwe sezvaaida.
Mamuli o ke kanawai ka inu ana, aole mea nana i koi aku; no ka mea, pela ke kauoha a ke alii i na luna a pau o kona hale, e hana kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kona manao iho.
9 VaHosi Vhashiti vakaitawo mabiko amadzimai mumuzinda waMambo Zekisesi.
O Vaseti, ke alii wahine kekahi, hana iho la oia i ahaaina na na wahine ma ka halealii o ke alii o Ahasuero.
10 Pazuva rechinomwe, Mambo Zekisesi afara kwazvo mumwoyo make nokuda kwewaini, akarayira varanda vanomwe vaimushumira, Mehumani, Bhizita, Habhona, Bhigita, Abhagita, Zeta naKakasi,
A i ka hiku o ka la, i ka wa i olioli ai ka naau o ke alii i ka waina, olelo ae la ia ia Mehumana, a me Bizeta, a me Harebona, a me Bigeta, a me Abageta, a me Zetara, a me Karekasa, na luna ehiku i hookauwa ma ke alo o ke alii, o Ahasuero,
11 kuti vauye navaHosi Vhashiti, vakapfeka korona youmambo, kuti aratidze runako rwavo kuvanhu nokumakurukota, nokuti vakanga vakanaka pakuonekwa.
E lawe mai lakou ia Vaseti, i ke alii wahine imua i ke alo o ke alii, me ka papale alii, e hoike aku i na kanaka a me na'lii, i kona maikai; no ka mea, he helehelena maikai kona.
12 Asi pakasvika shoko rakanga rarayirwa namambo, vaHosi Vhashiti vakaramba kuuya. Ipapo mambo akashatirwa zvikuru uye akatsva nehasha.
Hoole ae la ke alii wahine, o Vaseti, aole e hele ma ka olelo a ke alii, ana i kauoha ae i na luna. Nolaila, ukiuki loa iho la ke alii, a wela iho la kona huhu iloko ona.
13 Ipapo mambo akabvunza vachenjeri vaiziva murayiro uye vainzwisisa zvenguva sezvo yaiva tsika yamadzimambo kubvunza nyanzvi dzezvomurayiro nokururamisira,
Alaila, olelo ae la ke alii i ka poe akamai, i ka poe i ike i na manawa, (no ka mea, pela no ke alii i hana'i imua i ke alo o ka poe a pau i ike i ke kanawai a me ka hooponopono:
14 uye vaiva pedyo kwazvo namambo vaiti: Kashena, Sheta, Adhumata, Tashishi, Meresi, Masena naMemukani, makurukota manomwe ePezhia neMedhia avo vaiva nekodzero yokupinda kuna mambo uye vaikudzwa muumambo.
Eia ka poe i pili ia ia, o Karesena, o Setara, o Ademata, o Taresisa, o Meresa, o Maresena, a me Memukana, ehiku alii o Peresia, a me Media, a ike lakou i ka maka o ke alii, a o lakou na mea noho kiekie maloko o ke aupuni: )
15 Akabvunza achiti, “Pamurayiro chii chinofanira kuitwa kuna vaHosi Vhashiti? Havana kuteerera kurayira kwaMambo Zekisesi sokuudzwa kwavaitwa navaranda.”
Mamuli o ke kanawai, pehea la kakou e hana'i i ke alii wahine ia Vaseti, no kona malama ole ana i ka olelo a ke alii, a Ahasuero, ma ka lima o na luna?
16 Ipapo Memukani akapindura pamberi pamambo namakurukota akati, “VaHosi Vhashiti vaita zvakaipa, kwete kuna mambo chete asi nokumakurukota ose nokuvanhu vose venyika dzose dzamambo Zekisesi.
Alaila, olelo aku la o Memukana imua i ke alo o ke alii, a me na'lii, Ua hana hewa o Vaseti ke alii wahine, aole i ke alii wale no, aka, i na'lii a pau, a me na kanaka a pau e noho ana ma na aina a pau o Ke alii o Ahasuero.
17 Nokuti zvaitwa navahosi zvichazivikanwa navakadzi vose, nokudaro vachazvidza varume vavo vachiti, ‘Inga wani Mambo Zekisesi vakarayira vaHosi Vhashiti kuti vauye vamire pamberi pavo, asi vakaramba kuuya.’
No ka mea, e kaulana aku no ia hana a ke alii wahine, i na wahine a pau, nolaila, e hoowahawahaia'i ka lakou poe kane e lakou, i ka wa e kaulana'i ke kanoha ana a ke alii a Ahasuero e laweia mai imua ona o Vaseti ke alii wahine, aole ia i hele mai.
18 Iye nhasi uno vakadzi vamakurukota ePezhia neveMedhia vanzwa zvaitwa navahosi vachaitawo saizvozvo kumakurukota amambo. Kusakudzana nenyonganyonga hazvimbozoperi.
A i keia la, o na'lii wahine a pau o Peresia, a me Media, ka poe i lohe i ka nana a ke alii wahine, e olelo no lakou pela i na kuhina o ke alii. Pela e nui loa ai auanei ka hoowahawaha ana, a me ka ukiuki.
19 “Naizvozvo, kana mambo achifara nazvo, ngaateme chirevo chamambo uye ngachinyorwe mumirayiro yavaPezhia navaMedhia, isingagoni kushandurwa kuti Vhashiti haachazosvikizve pamberi paMambo Zekisesi. Uyezve mambo ngaape chinzvimbo chake muumambo kuno mumwe ari nani kupinda iye.
Ina he maikai i ko ke alii manao, e hoolahaia'ku no kekahi olelo no ke aupuni, a e kakauia no hoi ia ma na kanawai o Peresia a me Media, i haule ole ia, aole loa e hele hou mai o Vaseti imua i ke alo o ke alii, o Ahasuero; a e haawi aku hoi ke alii i ko Vaseti waiwai alii na kekahi i oi aku ka pono mamua o kona.
20 Ipapo kana chirevo chamambo chaziviswa muumambo hwake hwose, vakadzi vose vachakudza varume vavo, kubva kumudiki kusvikira kumukuru.”
Aia hoolahaia ke kanawai a ke alii e hana'i, ma kona aupuni a pau, (no ka mea he nui ia, ) alaila e hoomaikai no na wahine i ka lakou poe kane i na mea nui a me na mea uuku.
21 Mambo namakurukota ake vakafadzwa nezano iri, saka mambo akaita sezvakanga zvarehwa naMemukani.
Ua maikai keia olelo i ka manao o ke alii, a me na kuhina, a hana iho la ke alii e like me ka olelo a Memukana.
22 Akatumira matsamba kumativi ose oumambo hwake, kunyika imwe neimwe norunyoro rwayo nokumunhu mumwe nomumwe nomutauro wake achizivisa norurimi rwavanhu kuti murume mumwe nomumwe ave nesimba pamusoro peimba yake.
A hoouna ae la ia i na palapala i na mokuna a pau o ke alii, i kela mokuna i keia mokuna, e like me ka mea i palapalaia, a i kela lahuikanaka i keia lahuikanaka, e like me ka lakou olelo iho, e noho haku no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma kona hale iho; a hoolahaia'ku la keia ma ka olelo o na lahuikanakaa pau.
