1 Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga mo Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine.
Naizvozvo mambo naHamani vakaenda kundodya navaHosi Esteri,
2 Pea naʻe toe lea ʻae tuʻi kia Eseta ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he kātoanga inu uaine, “Ko e hā hoʻo kole ʻe tuʻi fefine ko Eseta? Pea ʻe tuku ia kiate koe: pea ko e hā ia ʻa hoʻo kole? Pea ʻe fai ia ʻo aʻu ki hono vahe ua ʻoe puleʻanga.”
uye pavakanga vachinwa waini pazuva rechipiri, mambo akabvunzazve akati, “VaHosi Esteri, muri kukumbireiko? Muchapiwa. Chikumbiro chenyu ndechei? Kunyange kusvika pahafu youshe, muchazviitirwa.”
3 Pea lea ai ʻa Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻE tuʻi, pea kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, ke foaki ʻeku moʻui kiate au ʻi heʻeku kole, mo hoku kakai ʻi heʻeku tala:
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.
4 He kuo fakatau ʻakimautolu, Ko au mo hoku kakai, ke maumauʻi, mo tāmateʻi, pea ke fakaʻauha. Pea ka ne fakatau ʻakimautolu ke hoko ko e kau tangata pōpula, mo e kau fefine pōpula, pehē, te u longo pe au, ka ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he fili ke totongi hono kovi ki he tuʻi.”
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.”
5 Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ia, pea kofaʻā ia, ʻaia naʻe fielahi ʻi hono loto ke fai pehē?”
Mambo Zekisesi akabvunza vaHosi Esteri akati, “Ndiani iyeye? Aripi munhu iyeye afunga kuita chinhu chakadai?”
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Eseta, “Ko e tangata angatuʻu mo e fili, ko Hamani angakovi ni.” Pea naʻe toki manavahē ʻa Hamani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e tuʻi fefine.
Esteri akati, “Mudzivisi nomuvengi ndiyeyu Hamani ane utsinye.” Ipapo Hamani akatya pamberi pamambo navahosi.
7 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi heʻene tuputāmaki lahi mei he kātoanga uaine, pea ʻalu kituʻa ia ki he ngoue ʻoe fale; pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Hamani ke fai ʻae kole koeʻuhi ko ʻene moʻui kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine; he naʻe mamata ia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kovi ke hoko kiate ia mei he tuʻi.
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.
8 Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae tuʻi mei he ngoue ʻoe fale, ki he potu ʻoe kātoanga uaine: pea kuo tō ʻa Hamani ki he tokotoʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Eseta. Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Pea ʻe tohotoho ʻe ia ʻae tuʻi fefine foki ʻi he fale ʻi hoku ʻao?” Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻae lea mei he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa nau ʻufiʻufi ʻae mata ʻo Hamani.
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.
9 Pea pehē ʻe Hapona ko e tauhi fale ʻe tokotaha ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, “Vakai foki, ko e tautauʻanga, ko e hanga ʻe teau hono māʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Hamani moʻo Motekiai, ʻaia naʻe lea lelei maʻae tuʻi, ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Hamani.” Pea pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi, “Tautau ia ki ai.”
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!”
10 Ko ia naʻa nau tautau ʻa Hamani ʻi he tautauʻanga naʻa ne teuteu moʻo Motekiai. Pea naʻe toki lolou ʻae houhau ʻita ʻae tuʻi.
Naizvozvo vakasungirira Hamani pamatanda aakanga agadzirira Modhekai. Ipapo kutsamwa kwamambo kwakadzikira.
