2 Shu sewebtin padishahning xizmitide turghan ghojidarlar uninggha: — Aliyliri üchün sahibjamal yash qizlarni izdep tépip keltürgeyla;
Izinceku zenkosi zasezisithi kuyo, “Akudingelwe inkosi amantombazana agcweleyo, amahle.
3 aliyliri padishahliqidiki herqaysi ölkilerde barliq güzel qizlarni yighip, Shushan qel’esidiki heremsaraygha keltürüshke emeldarlarni teyin’geyla; qizlar ordidiki qiz-ayallargha mes’ul bolghan heremaghisi Hégayning qoligha tapshurulghay; ulargha kéreklik upa-englikler teminlen’gey.

4 Aliylirini söyündürgen qiz Washtining ornini bésip xanish bolsun, dédi. Bu gep padishahni xush qildi we u shundaq qildi.
Besekusithi intombi ethokozisa inkosi ibe yiNdlovukazi esikhundleni sikaVashithi.” Iseluleko lesi sayithokozisa inkosi, yasisilandela.
5 Shushan qel’eside Binyamin qebilisidin, Kishning ewrisi, Shimeyning newrisi, Yairning oghli Mordikay isimlik bir Yehudiy bar idi
Kwakukhona esigodlweni saseSusa umJuda owendlu yakoBhenjamini, okwakuthiwa nguModekhayi, indodana kaJayiri, indodana kaShimeyi, indodana kaKhishi,
6 (Kish bolsa Babil padishahi Néboqadnesar Yehuda padishahi Yekoniyah bilen bir top kishilerni tutqun qilip Yérusalémdin eketkende, ular bilen bille esir qilinip kétilgenidi).

7 Mordikay özining taghisining qizi Hadassahni (yeni Ester) béqip chong qilghanidi, chünki uning ata-anisi yoq idi. Bu qiz güzel, teqi-turqi kélishken idi; ata-anisi ölüp ketken bolghachqa Mordikay uni öz qizi qatarida béqip chong qilghanidi.

8 Padishahning emri we yarliqi jakarlan’ghandin kéyin nurghun qizlar Shushan qel’esige keltürülüp Hégayning qoligha tapshuruldi; shundaq boldiki, Estermu ordigha keltürülüp ordidiki qiz-ayallargha mes’ul bolghan Hégayning qoligha tapshuruldi.

9 Ester Hégaygha yaqqan bolup, u uninggha iltipat körsetti; u tézla uninggha upa-englik we tégishlik yémekliklerni teminlidi hem ordidin uninggha tallan’ghan yette kénizekni berdi; andin uni kénizekliri bilen heremsarayning eng ésil jayidin orun berdi.

10 Ester özining milliti we tégi-tektini héchkimge éytmidi, chünki Mordikay uninggha buni ashkarilimasliqni tapilighanidi.

11 Mordikay Esterning hal-ehwalidin xewer tépish we uninggha qandaq muamile qilinidighanliqini bilish üchün, herküni heremsarayning hoylisi aldida aylinip yüretti.
Insuku zonke uModekhayi wayehamba eduzane leguma lendlu yabesifazane ukuze ezwe ukuba u-Esta uqhuba njani lokuthi uyaphila na.
12 Qizlargha ait resmiyet boyiche, herbir qizning ordigha kirip padishah Ahashwérosh bilen bille bolush nöwitidin awwal, on ikki ay bedinini tazilishi kérek idi, chünki qizlarning «tazilinish künliri» mundaq yol bilen ada qilinatti: — alte ay murmekki méyi bilen, alte ay etir-englik we shundaqla qizlarning bedinini pakizlaydighan bashqa buyumlar bilen perdaz qilinishi kérek idi.

13 Qiz padishahning huzurigha kiridighan chaghda mundaq qaide bar idi: — Ordigha kirgende uning néme telipi bolsa, shular heremsaraydin uninggha bériletti.
Indlela intombi eyayisiya ngayo enkosini yile: loba yini intombi eyayiyifuna yayikuphiwa ukuze ihambe lakho esigodlweni senkosi isuka endlini yabesifazane.
14 Qiz axshimi kirip kétip, etisi etigende qaytip chiqqanda heremsarayning «ikkinchi bölüm»ige qayturulup, toqal-kénizeklerge mes’ul bolghan padishahning heremaghisi Shaashghazning qoligha tapshurulatti; padishah u qizgha amraq bolup qélip, ismini atap chaqirmighuche, u ikkinchi ordigha kirip padishah bilen bille bolmaytti.

Esterni körgenlerning hemmisi uni yaqturup qalatti.

U-Esta wasiwa enkosini ngenyanga yetshumi, inyanga yeThebhethi, ngomnyaka wesikhombisa wokubusa kweNkosi u-Ahasuweru.
