1 Wakhtigii Ahashwerus (Ahashweruskaasu wuxuu ahaa kii xukumi jiray Hindiya iyo Itoobiya inta ka dhex leh, oo u talin jiray boqol iyo toddoba iyo labaatan gobol)
Lokhu yikho okwenzakala ngesikhathi sika-Ahasuweru, owayebusa izifunda ezingaphezu kwekhulu elilamatshumi amabili lasikhombisa kusukela e-Indiya kuze kuyefika eTopiya.
2 markii Boqor Ahashwerus uu ku fadhiistay carshigii boqortooyadiisa oo ku yiil Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka,
Ngalesosikhathi inkosi u-Ahasuweru wayebusa esesigodlweni saseSusa,
3 sannaddii saddexaad oo boqornimadiisa ayuu martiqaad u sameeyey amiirradiisii iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, taas oo ay hortiisa joogeen xooggii Faaris iyo Maaday, iyo dadkii gobta ahaa iyo amiirradii gobollada.
kwathi ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwakhe, wenzela izikhulu zakhe kanye leziphathamandla zakhe idili elikhulu. Abakhokheli bebutho basePhezhiya labaseMediya, amakhosana, kanye lezikhulu zezifunda zonke zazikhona.
4 Oo wuxuu soo bannaan dhigay maalkii boqortooyadiisa ammaanta badnayd, iyo sharaftii haybaddiisa sarraysa, intii maalmo badan ah oo gaadha boqol iyo siddeetan maalmood.
Okwensuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili watshengisa ubukhulu benotho yombuso wakhe kanye lobucwazicwazi lobukhosi bombuso wakhe.
5 Oo markii maalmahaasu dhammaadeen ayuu boqorku diyaafad u sameeyey dadkii Shuushan oo hoygii boqorka ahayd joogay oo dhan, yar iyo weynba, intii toddoba maalmood ah, oo diyaafaddiina waxaa lagu dhigay barxaddii beerta ku dhex tiil hoygii boqorka.
Kwathi lezonsuku seziphelile, inkosi yenza idili elikhulu elabakhona okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, endaweni ehonqolozelweyo esigodlweni senkosi, lisenzelwa bonke abantu abaziwayo labantukazana ababesesigodlweni saseSusa.
6 Oo waxaa meeshaas ka laalaaday daahyo ah caddaan iyo cagaar iyo buluug, oo waxaa ku xidhnaa xadhko laga sameeyey maro wanaagsan iyo dhar guduudan oo sudhan siddooyin lacag ah iyo tiirar marmar ah. Sariiruhuna waxay ahaayeen dahab iyo lacag, oo waxaa la dhigay meel siman oo laga sameeyey marmar ah casaan iyo caddaan iyo huruud iyo madow.
Egumeni kwakulezilengiso ezimhlophe leziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, zibotshelwe emasongweni esiliva ngentambo zelineni elimhlophe lelembu eliyibubende ensikeni zamatshe aqinileyo. Kwakulemibheda yegolide lesiliva phezu kwephansi elaligandelwe ngamatshe aligugu, abomvu, aluhlaza, amhlophe lamnyama lamanye adulayo.
7 Oo waxaa dadka cabniin lagu siiyey weelal dahab ah (oo weelashana midba midka kale wuu ka duwanaa), oo khamrigii boqorkuna wuu badnaa sidii ay ahayd deeqsinimadii boqorku.
Iwayini lalinathelwa ezinkezweni zegolide, inye ngayinye yehlukene kwezinye, njalo iwayini lesikhosini lalilinengi, kutshengisa ukukhululeka kwesandla senkosi.
8 Oo cabniinkuna wuxuu waafaqsanaa qaynuunka, dirqina ma jirin, waayo, boqorku wuxuu madaxdii gurigiisa oo dhan ku amray inay nin kasta u yeelaan siduu doonayo.
Ngokulaya kwenkosi, isethekeli sinye ngasinye sasikhululekile ukuthi sinathe ngokwentando yaso, ngoba inkosi yayilaye zonke iziphathamandla ezazisipha iwayini ukuthi ziphe umuntu wonke njengokufisa kwakhe.
9 Oo weliba Boqorad Washtiina waxay dumarkii diyaafad ugu samaysay hoygii reer boqor oo uu Boqor Ahashwerus lahaa.
INdlovukazi uVashithi layo yenzela abesifazane ababesesigodlweni seNkosi u-Ahasuweru idili elikhulu.
10 Oo maalintii toddobaad boqorkii, isagoo qalbigiisu khamri ku faraxsan yahay, wuxuu amray toddobadii midiidin oo Boqor Ahashwerus ka adeegi jiray oo ahaa Mehuumaan, Bista, Xarboona, Bigtaa, Abagta, Seetar, iyo Karkas,
Ngelanga lesikhombisa, inkosi u-Ahasuweru isidakiwe ngenxa yewayini, yalaya abathenwa abayisikhombisa ababeyisebenzela, uMehumani, uBhizitha, uHaribhona, uBhigitha, u-Abhagitha, uZethari loKharikhasi,
11 oo wuxuu iyagii ku amray inay Boqorad Washtii hortiisa keenaan, iyadoo qabta taajkii boqornimada, si quruxdeeda loo tuso dadka iyo amiirrada, waayo, iyadu waxay lahayd suurad wanaagsan oo in la fiirsado ku fiican.
ukuthi balethe kuyo iNdlovukazi uVashithi ethwele umqhele wakhe wobukhosi ukuze abukise ubuhle bakhe ebantwini kanye lezikhulwini, ngoba wayemuhle kakhulu.
12 Laakiinse boqoraddii Washtii ahayd way diidday inay ku timaado amarkii boqorku ugu soo dhiibay midiidinnada. Sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii aad buu u xanaaqay, oo cadhadiisiina wuu la gubtay.
Kodwa kwathi abathenwa beyitshela ngokulaya kwenkosi, iNdlovukazi uVashithi yala ukuya. Ngakho inkosi yathukuthela yavutha ngolaka.
13 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu la hadlay nimankii xigmadda lahaa oo xilliyada yiqiin, (waayo, boqorka caadadiisu saasay ahayd xagga kulli kuwii sharcigii yiqiin iyo xukunkaba,
Njengoba kwakuyinjwayelo ukuthi inkosi icebisane lezingcitshi ezindabeni eziphathelene lemithetho kanye lokwahlulela, yakhuluma lamadoda ahlakaniphileyo ayezwisisa ngomumo walezozikhathi
14 oo waxaa isaga ku xigay Karshena, Shetaar, Admata, Tarshiish, Meres, Marsena, iyo Memuukaan oo ahaa toddobadii amiir oo Faaris iyo Maaday, oo arkay boqorka wejigiisa, oo fadhiyey boqortooyada derejadeeda kowaad),
njalo ayeseduzane kakhulu lenkosi kwakunguKharishena, uShethari, u-Adimatha, uThashishi, uMeresi, uMarisena loMemukhani, izikhulu eziyisikhombisa zasePhezhiya laseMediya ezazilemvumo yokuya enkosini njalo zilezikhundla eziphakemeyo embusweni.
15 oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaan ku samaynaa Boqorad Washtii sida sharciga waafaqsan? Maxaa yeelay, iyadu ma ay yeelin yeedhiddii Boqor Ahashwerus iyada midiidinnada ugu sii dhiibay.
Yasibuza yathi, “Umthetho uthi kwenziweni eNdlovukazini uVashithi? Phela kayilalelanga umlayo wenkosi u-Ahasuweru awuthumele kuyo ngabathenwa.”
16 Markaasaa Memuukaan jawaabay, oo wuxuu boqorkii iyo amiirradii hortooda ka yidhi, Boqorad Washtii boqorka oo keliya ma ay xumayn, laakiinse waxay xumaysay amiirrada oo dhan, iyo dadka deggan Boqor Ahashwerus gobolladiisa oo dhan.
UMemukhani wasephendula phambi kwenkosi kanye lezikhulu zayo wathi, “INdlovukazi uVashithi yonile, hatshi enkosini kuphela, kodwa lasezikhulwini zonke kanye labantu bonke bezabelo zonke zeNkosi u-Ahasuweru.
17 Haddaba wixii ay boqoraddu samaysay wuu wada gaadhi doonaa dumarka oo dhan, kolkaasay nimankooda quudhsan doonaan markii warkan loo sheego, oo lagu yidhaahdo, Boqorkii Ahashwerus wuxuu amray in Boqorad Washtii hortiisa la keeno, laakiinse ma ay iman.
Phela isenzo seNdlovukazi sizakwazakala kuwo wonke amakhosikazi, abesedelela omkawo esithi, ‘Inkosi u-Ahasuweru yalaya iNdlovukazi uVashithi ukuthi ilethwe phambi kwayo, kodwa yala ukuza.’
18 Haddaba isla maantadan amiiradaha Faaris iyo Maaday oo maqlay wixii ay boqoraddu samaysay, sidaasoo kalay ku odhan doonaan boqorka amiirradiisa oo dhan. Oo saas aawadeed waxaa kici doona quudhsasho iyo xanaaq badan.
Lamhlanje amakhosikazi aphakemeyo asePhezhiya kanye laseMediya asizwileyo isenzo seNdlovukazi azaphendula izikhulu zenkosi zonke ngendlela efananayo. Kuzakuba khona ukungahloniphi kanye lengxabangxoza.
19 Haddaba haddii boqorku raalli ka yahay, amar boqornimo ha bixiyo, oo amarkaasna si aan loo beddelin ha lagu dhex qoro qaynuunnada reer Faaris iyo reer Maaday, inaanay boqoradda Washtii mar dambe iman Boqor Ahashwerus hortiisa. Boqorkuna boqoradnimadeedii ha siiyo mid kale oo iyada ka wanaagsan.
Ngakho-ke, nxa kulungile enkosini, kakube lomthetho ozaphuma esigodlweni njalo ulotshwe emithethweni yelizwe lePhezhiya leMediya, ongeke uguqulwe njalo, ukuthi uVashithi akumelanga aphinde angene lapho okulenkosi u-Ahasuweru. Njalo inkosi kayiphe isikhundla sayo sobundlovukazi komunye ongcono kulayo.
20 Oo marka boqorka amarkiisa uu bixin doono lagu faafiyo boqortooyadiisa oo dhan (waayo, way weyn tahay) ayaa dumarka oo dhammu nimankooda maamuusi doonaan, yar iyo weynba.
Kuzakuthi nxa umthetho wenkosi umenyezelwa kuwo wonke umbuso wayo omkhulu, abesifazane bonke bazahlonipha omkabo kusukela komncane kusiya komkhulu.”
21 Oo odhaahdaasu waxay ka farxisay boqorkii iyo amiirradii oo dhanba, kolkaasuu boqorkii yeelay sidii uu Memuukaan yidhi.
Inkosi kanye lezikhulu zayo bathokoza ngalokhu kucebisa, inkosi yasisenza khona lokho uMemukhani akucebisayo.
22 Oo wuxuu warqado u diray boqorka gobolladiisii oo dhan, oo gobol walba wuxuu ugu qoray fartiisii, oo dad kastana wuxuu ugu qoray afkoodii, si nin kastaa ugu taliyo reerkiisa oo uu ku sheego afka dadkiisu ku hadlo.
Yathumela izincwadi kuzozonke izabelo zombuso, kuleso laleso sabelo incwadi yaso ngolimi olukhulunywa kuso, kwamenyezelwa ngendimi zazo ukuthi yileyo laleyo ndoda kumele ibuse umuzi wayo.
