Ɛster 7
1 Enti, ɔhene no ne Haman kɔɔ Ɔhemmaa Ɛster apontoɔ no.
Awo Kabaka ne Kamani ne bagenda ku mbaga ya Nnabagereka Eseza gye yateekateeka.
2 Na ɛberɛ a wɔrenonom nsã saa da no, bio, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔhemmaa Ɛster, kyerɛ me deɛ wopɛ. Wʼabisadeɛ ne sɛn? Sɛ ɛyɛ ahemman yi mu fa koraa a, mede bɛma wo!”
Ku lunaku olwokubiri bwe baali banywa wayini Kabaka n’addamu n’abuuza Eseza nti, “Nnabagereka Eseza osaba ki? Onookiweebwa. Kiki kye weegayirira? Ne bwe kinaaba ekitundu ky’obwakabaka, kinaakuweebwa.”
3 Ɔhemmaa Ɛster buaa sɛ, “Sɛ Ɔhene kɛseɛ ani gye me ho, na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mʼabisadeɛ ma me a, mʼadesrɛ ara ne sɛ, ɔbɛgyaa me nkwa ne me manfoɔ nkwa mu ama yɛn.
Awo Eseza n’addamu nti, “Obanga ŋŋanze mu maaso go, ayi Kabaka, era Oweekitiibwa bw’onoosiima, kino kye nsaba, mpeebwe obulamu bwange. Ate era n’abantu bange bawonye obulamu bwabwe. Kino kye nneegayirira.
4 Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔatɔn me ne me manfoɔ ama nnipa a wɔbɛkunkum yɛn, atɔre yɛn ase. Sɛ wɔtɔn yɛn sɛ nkoa kɛkɛ mpo a, anka mɛtena dinn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno deɛ, ɛyɛ asɛm kumaa bi a ɛho nhia sɛ wɔde kɔdan ɔhene.”
Nze n’abantu bange tutuundiddwa eri okuzikirizibwa, okuttibwa n’okubula. Wakiri singa tutuundiddwa okuba abaddu n’abakazi abaweereza, nandisirise ne sikuteganya newaakubadde nga omulabe teyandiyinzizza kuliwa kabaka bwe yandifiiriddwa.”
5 Ɔhene Ahasweros bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛyɛ saa? Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi de ne nsa aka wo?”
Awo Kabaka Akaswero n’abuuza Nnabagereka Eseza nti, “Ani era ali ludda wa oyo ayaŋŋanga okugezaako mu mutima gwe okukola bw’atyo?”
6 Ɛster buaa sɛ, “Saa omumuyɛfoɔ ne ɔtamfoɔ yi ne animguaseni Haman.” Ehu maa Haman too hoa wɔ ɔhene ne ɔhemmaa no anim.
Awo Eseza n’addamu nti, “Omulabe waffe, atukyawa, ye Kamani ono omubi.” Kamani n’atya nnyo mu maaso ga Kabaka ne Nnabagereka.
7 Ɔhene no de abufuo huri gyinaa ne nan so, na ɔkɔɔ ahemfie hɔ turo mu. Na Haman kaa hɔ, dwane toaa Ɔhemmaa Ɛster sɛ ɔnsrɛ ne nkwa mma no, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim sɛ nʼawieeɛ aduru.
Awo Kabaka n’agolokoka ng’aliko ekiruyi, n’aleka wayini we, n’alaga ebweru mu nnimiro ey’omu lubiri. Kamani bwe yalaba nga Kabaka amaliridde okumubonereza, n’asigala emabega okusaba obulamu bwe eri Nnabagereka Eseza.
8 Ɔde abasamutuo bu hwee Ɔhemmaa Ɛster mpa a ɔrehome so no so. Ɛhɔ ara na ɔhene no nso firii ahemfie no turo mu hɔ baeɛ. Ɔhene no bobɔɔ mu sɛ, “Hwɛ ɔrebɛboro ɔhemmaa yi wɔ ahemfie ha, wɔ mʼani so ha nso?” Ɔhene no kasa wieeɛ ara pɛ, nʼasomfoɔ no kataa Haman anim a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, nʼawieeɛ aduru.
Kabaka n’akomawo okuva mu nnimiro ey’omu lubiri n’ayingira mu kifo eky’embaga, n’asanga Kamani ng’agudde ku ntebe ey’olugalamiriro Eseza kwe yali. Kabaka ne yeekanga nnyo era n’akangula eddoboozi ng’agamba nti, “N’okukwata ayagala kukwatira Nnabagereka mu maaso gange wano mu nnyumba?” Kabaka bwe yali nga yakamala okwogera ekigambo ekyo, ne babikka ku maaso ga Kamani.
9 Na Harbona a ɔyɛ ɔhene no apiafoɔ no mu baako kaa sɛ, “Haman asi dua a ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum wɔ ɔno ara nʼadihɔ. Na nʼadwene ne sɛ, ɔbɛsɛn Mordekai a ɔgyee ɔhene nkwa no wɔ so.” Afei, ɔhene no kaa sɛ, “Monsɛn Haman wɔ so.”
Awo Kalubona, omu ku balaawe abaali baweereza Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Waliwo akalabba kumpi ne nnyumba ya Kamani obuwanvu bwako mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu ke yazimba okuttirako Moluddekaayi eyayogera n’awonya obulamu bwa Kabaka.” Kabaka n’agamba nti, “Mumuwanike okwo.”
10 Enti, wɔsɛnee Haman wɔ dua no a ɔsi maa Mordekai no so, maa ɔhene no bo dwoeɛ.
Awo ne bawanika Kamani ku kalabba ke yali azimbidde Moluddekaayi, olwo obusungu bwa kabaka ne bukkakkana.
