< Ester 4 >
1 Mordikay boluwatqan ishlardin xewer tapqandin kéyin éginlirini yirtip, üstige böz artip, we usti-béshigha kül chéchip, sheherning otturisigha chiqip nahayiti qattiq we elemlik peryad kötürdi.
UModekhayi esekwazile konke okwenziweyo, uModekhayi wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wagqoka isaka lomlotha, waphuma wangena phakathi komuzi, wakhala ukukhala okukhulu lokubabayo,
2 U orda derwazisi aldigha kélip toxtap qaldi; chünki boz yépin’ghan herqandaq ademning orda derwazisidin kirishige ruxset yoq idi.
weza waze waba phambi kwesango lenkosi, ngoba kwakungekho ongangena esangweni lenkosi egqoke isaka.
3 Padishahning emri we yarliqi yetküzülgen herqaysi ölkilerde Yehudiylar arisida qattiq nale-peryad kötürüldi; ular roza tutup, köz yéshi qilip, yigha-zar qildi; nurghun kishiler boz yépinip külde éghinap yétishti.
Lakuso sonke isabelo lesabelo, indawo lapho ilizwi lenkosi lomthetho okwakufika khona, kwaba lokulila okukhulu kumaJuda, lokuzila ukudla, lokukhala inyembezi, lokulila; amanengi alala emasakeni lemlotheni.
4 Esterning xizmitide bolghan dédekliri we heremaghiliri bu ishni uninggha éytiwidi, xanishning köngli intayin éghir boldi; Mordikayning bozni tashlap, kiyiwélishigha kiyim-kéchek chiqartip berdi, lékin Mordikay qobul qilmidi.
Kwasekufika amantombazana kaEsta labathenwa bakhe bamtshela; indlovukazi yasidabuka kakhulu, yathumela izembatho zokugqokisa uModekhayi, lokususa kuye isaka lakhe, kodwa kazemukelanga.
5 Shuning bilen Ester özining xizmitide bolushqa padishah teyinlep ewetken heremaghiliridin Hataq isimlik birini chaqirip, uni Mordikayning qéshigha bérip, bu ishning zadi qandaq ish ikenlikini, néme sewebtin boluwatqanliqini ting-tinglap kélishke ewetti.
UEsta wasebiza uHathaki omunye wabathenwa benkosi eyayimmisele yena, wamlaya ngoModekhayi ukuthi azi ukuthi kuyini lokuthi kungani.
6 Shuning bilen Hataq orda derwazisi aldidiki meydan’gha kélip Mordikay bilen körüshti.
UHathaki wasephuma waya kuModekhayi egcekeni lomuzi elaliphambi kwesango lenkosi.
7 Mordikay béshigha kelgen hemme ishni, Haman Yehudiylarning neslini qurutuwétish üchün padishahning xezinilirige tapshurushqa wede qilghan kümüshning sanini qaldurmay éytip berdi.
UModekhayi wamtshela konke okwenzeke kuye, lengcazelo yemali uHamani athi uzayilinganisela kokuligugu kwenkosi ngamaJuda ukuwachitha.
8 Mordikay yene Hataqqa Shushanda jakarlan’ghan, Yehudiylarni yoqitish toghrisidiki yarliqning köchürmisini Esterning körüp béqishigha yetküzüp bérishke tapshurdi hemde uninggha Esterge ehwalni chüshendürüp, ordigha kirip padishah bilen körüshüp öz xelqi üchün padishahtin ötünüp iltija qilip béqishqa ündeshni tapilidi.
Wasemnika ikhophi yombhalo womthetho eyanikwa eShushani ukuwachitha ukuthi ayitshengise uEsta, lokuthi amtshele, lokuthi amlaye ukuthi angene enkosini, ukumncengela, lokucelela abantu bakibo phambi kwakhe.
9 Hataq qaytip kélip Mordikayning geplirini Esterge yetküzdi.
UHathaki wasesiza wamtshela uEsta amazwi kaModekhayi.
10 Ester Hataqqa Mordikaygha éytidighan geplerni tapshurup, uni Mordikayning yénigha yene ewetti: —
UEsta wasekhuluma loHathaki, wamnika umlayo usiya kuModekhayi wokuthi:
11 «Padishahning barliq xizmetkarliri we herqaysi ölke xelqliri, meyli er bolsun ayal bolsun, chaqirtilmay turup ichki hoyligha, padishahning huzurigha öz meyliche kirse, padishah uninggha iltipat körsitip altun hasisini tenglep ölümdim kechürüm qilmisa, undaqta u kishige nisbeten béshigha chüshidighan birla qanun-belgilime bardur: — u ölüm jazasini tartidu. Hazir méning padishah bilen körüshüshke chaqirtilmighinimgha ottuz kün boldi».
Zonke inceku zenkosi labantu bezabelo zenkosi bayakwazi ukuthi, loba ngubani, owesilisa loba owesifazana, ongena esiya enkosini egumeni elingaphakathi, engabizwanga, kulomthetho owodwa ngaye wokumbulala, ngaphandle kokuthi inkosi imelulele intonga yobukhosi yegolide, ukuze aphile; kodwa mina kangibizwanga ukungena enkosini lezinsuku ezingamatshumi amathathu.
12 Esterning sözliri Mordikaygha yetküzülüwidi,
Basebemtshela uModekhayi amazwi kaEsta.
13 Mordikay munu geplerni Esterge yetküzüshni hawale qildi: — «Sen könglüngde men ordida yashawatimen, shunga barliq bashqa Yehudiylardin bixeter bolup qutulimen, dep xiyal eylime.
UModekhayi wasesithi ephendula uEsta: Ungacabangi engqondweni yakho ukuthi uzaphepha endlini yenkosi okwedlula wonke amaJuda.
14 Eger bu chaghda sen jim turuwalsang, Yehudiylargha bashqa tereptin medet we nijat chiqishi mumkin; lékin u chaghda sen öz ata jemeting bilen qoshulup yoqitilisen. Kim bilsun, séning xanishliq mertiwisige érishkining del bügünki mushundaq peyt üchün bolghanmu?».
Ngoba uba uthula lokuthula ngalesisikhathi, usizo lenkululeko kuzamela amaJuda kuvela kwenye indawo, kodwa wena lendlu kayihlo lizabhubha. Ngubani kambe owaziyo ukuthi ufikile embusweni ngenxa yesikhathi esinje?
15 Ester Mordikaygha mundaq dep jawab qayturdi: —
UEsta wasesithi ephendula uModekhayi:
16 «Sen bérip, Shushandiki barliq Yehudiylarni yighqin; méning üchün roza tutup, üch kéche-kündüz héch yémenglar, héch ichmenglar; men hem dédeklirimmu shundaq roza tutimiz. Andin kéyin men qanun’gha xilapliq qilip padishahning huzurigha kirimen, manga ölüm kelse, öley!».
Hamba ubuthanise wonke amaJuda atholakala eShushani, lingizilele ukudla, lingadli linganathi insuku ezintathu ubusuku lemini; lami lamantombazana ami sizazila ukudla ngokufananayo; ngokunjalo-ke ngizangena enkosini, okunganjengokomthetho; njalo uba ngibhubha, ngizabhubha.
17 Shuning bilen Mordikay u yerdin kétip, Esterning tapilighinidek qildi.
UModekhayi waseqhubeka wenza njengakho konke uEsta amlaye khona.
