Eseta 5
1 Pea ʻi heʻene hokosia hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, naʻe ʻai ʻe Eseta hono ngaahi kofu ngalingali ʻeiki, pea tuʻu ia ʻi he fale ʻi loto ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo hangatonu atu ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻe nofo ʻae tuʻi ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, ʻi he fale fakatuʻi, ʻo hangatonu atu ki he matapā ʻoe fale.
Na mokolo ya misato ya kokila bilei, Ester alataki bilamba na ye ya bokonzi mpe akotaki na lopango ya kati ya ndako ya mokonzi, liboso ya shambre na ye. Mokonzi azalaki ya kovanda na kiti na ye ya bokonzi kati na shambre oyo ezalaki kotalana na ekuke ya kokotela.
2 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he mamata ʻae tuʻi kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he loto fale, naʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ʻofa ʻi hono ʻao: pea mafao atu ʻe he tuʻi ʻae tokotoko koula kia Eseta ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono nima. Ko ia naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Eseta, mo ne ala ki he ʻulu ʻoe tokotoko.
Tango mokonzi amonaki Ester, mwasi na ye, atelemi kati na lopango, asalelaki ye ngolu. Mokonzi asembolaki epai ya Ester lingenda ya wolo ya bokonzi na ye, oyo ezalaki na loboko na ye. Ester apusanaki mpe asimbaki songe ya lingenda ya bokonzi.
3 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Eseta, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kumi ʻe tuʻi fefine ko Eseta? Pea ko e hā haʻo kole? ʻE ʻatu ia kiate koe ʻo aʻu ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe puleʻanga.”
Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi, likambo nini? Bosenga na yo ezali nini? Nazali pene ya kopesa yo ata kati-kati ya bokonzi na ngai!
4 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Eseta, “Kapau ʻoku mata lelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke meʻa mai ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga, he ʻaho ni, ʻaia kuo u te u maʻana.”
Ester azongisaki: — Oh soki esepelisi mokonzi, tika ete mokonzi akoka koya lelo, elongo na Amani, na feti monene oyo nabongisi mpo na ye.
5 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi, “Fekau ke fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa Hamani, koeʻuhi ke fai ia ʻo hangē ko e tala ʻa Eseta. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga naʻe teu ʻe Eseta.”
Mokonzi alobaki: — Bolukela ngai noki Amani mpo ete tokokisa bosenga ya Ester. Boye, mokonzi mpe Amani bakendeki na feti oyo Ester abongisaki.
6 Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Eseta ʻi he kātoanga inu uaine, “Ko e hā haʻo kole? pea ʻe tuku ia kiate koe: pea ko e hā hoʻo tala? ʻe fai ia, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe puleʻanga.”
Tango bazalaki komela vino, mokonzi atunaki lisusu Ester: — Sik’oyo, posa na yo ezali nini? Ekopesamela yo. Mpe bosenga na yo ezali nini? Ekopesamela yo, ata soki ezali kati-kati ya bokonzi na ngai.
7 Pea leaange ai ʻa Eseta, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko ʻeku kole, mo ʻeku tala eni:
Ester azongisaki: — Posa mpe bosenga na ngai ezali boye:
8 Kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, pea kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi ke tuku kiate au ʻeku kole, pea ke fai ʻaia ʻoku ou tala, tuku ke haʻu ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga ʻaia te u teuteu moʻo kinaua, pea te u fai ʻapongipongi ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tala ʻe he tuʻi.”
Soki nazwi ngolu na miso ya mokonzi mpe soki mokonzi asepeli kokokisa posa mpe bosenga na ngai, tika ete mokonzi mpe Amani bakoka koya lobi na feti oyo nakobongisa mpo na bango; bongo nde nakopesa eyano na motuna ya mokonzi.
9 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Hamani ʻi he fiefia mo e loto fiemālie ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ka ʻi he mamata ʻa Hamani kia Motekiai ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi, naʻe ʻikai tuʻu hake ia, pe ueʻi siʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ia, naʻe fonu ia ʻi he ʻita kia Motekiai.
Amani abimaki na esengo mpe na nsayi. Kasi tango Amani amonaki Maridoshe na ekuke ya mokonzi mpe asosolaki ete Maridoshe atelemi te mpe azali kolenga te liboso na ye, Amani asilikelaki Maridoshe makasi.
10 Ka naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe Hamani: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono fale, naʻa ne fekau ʻo ui ki hono ngaahi kāinga mo Selesi ko hono uaifi.
Kasi atako bongo, Amani akangaki motema mpe azongaki epai na ye; abengisaki balingami na ye mpe Zereshi, mwasi na ye.
11 Pea naʻe tala kiate kinautolu ʻe Hamani ʻae nāunau ʻo ʻene ngaahi koloa, mo hono tokolahi ʻo ʻene fānau, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe, ʻaia naʻe fakahikihiki ai ia ʻe he tuʻi, pea mo ʻene fokotuʻu ia ke māʻolunga, ʻi he ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi.
Amani abetelaki bango lisolo ya bomengo na ye oyo ezalaki penza ebele, motango ya bana na ye mpe makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi azalaki kosala mpo na kopesa ye lokumu mpe ndenge nini atombolaki ye likolo ya bakambi mpe bakalaka mosusu.
12 Pea naʻe pehē foki ʻe Hamani, “ʻIo, mo Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke haʻu ha tangata ʻe taha mo e tuʻi ki he kātoanga maʻae tuʻi ka ko au pē: pea kuo toe tala kiate au foki fakataha mo e tuʻi kema ō kiate ia ʻapongipongi.
Amani abakisaki: — Esuki kaka wana te! Nazali kaka ngai moko, moto oyo Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi, abengi elongo na mokonzi na feti oyo abongisi. Mpe lobi, abengi ngai lisusu elongo na mokonzi.
13 Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate au, lolotonga ʻeku kei mamata kia Motekiai ko e Siu ʻoku nofo ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi.”
Kasi makambo oyo nyonso ezali kosepelisa ngai te tango nazali komona Moyuda wana Maridoshe kovanda na ekuke ya mokonzi.
14 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Selesi ko hono uaifi, mo hono ngaahi kāinga kotoa pē kiate ia, [ʻo pehē], “Tuku ke ngaohi ʻae ʻakau ko e tautauʻanga, ko e hanga ʻe teau ʻa hono māʻolunga, pea ke lea ʻe koe ki he tuʻi ʻapongipongi ke tautau ʻa Motekiai ki ai: pea ke toki ʻalu fakafiefia koe mo e tuʻi ki he kātoanga inu.” Pea naʻe fiemālie ʻa Hamani ʻi he meʻa ko ia pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ke ngaohi ʻae tautauʻanga.
Zereshi, mwasi na ye, mpe baninga na ye nyonso balobaki na ye: — Telemisa nzete ya bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na bosanda; mpe lobi na tongo, okosenga na mokonzi ete badiembika Maridoshe na nzete yango. Bongo okokende na esengo na feti elongo na mokonzi. Likanisi oyo esepelisaki Amani, mpe atelemisaki nzete.
