1 Xu küni keqisi padixaⱨning uyⱪusi ⱪeqip, tarih-tǝzkirinamini ǝkǝldürdi wǝ bular uning aldida oⱪup berildi.
Ngalobobusuku ubuthongo benkosi babaleka; yasisithi kakulethwe ugwalo lwezikhumbuzo lwemilando; yasibalwa phambi kwenkosi.
2 Bir yǝrdǝ: «Padixaⱨning Bigtana, Tǝrǝx dǝydiƣan orda dǝrwazisini baⱪidiƣan ikki ⱨǝrǝm’aƣisi bar idi, ular padixaⱨ Aⱨaxweroxⱪa ⱪol selixⱪa ⱪǝstligǝndǝ, Mordikay bu ixni pax ⱪilip hǝwǝr yǝtküzgǝn, dǝp pütülgǝnidi.
Kwasekutholakala kubhaliwe ukuthi uModekhayi wabika ngoBigithana loTereshi, abathenwa ababili benkosi, abalindi bombundu, ababedinge ukwelulela isandla enkosini uAhasuwerusi.
3 Padixaⱨ: — Bu ix üqün Mordikayƣa ⱪandaⱪ nam-xɵⱨrǝt wǝ izzǝt-ikram nail ⱪilindi? — dǝp soridi. — U ⱨeq nemigǝ erixmidi, — dǝp jawap berixti padixaⱨning yenidiki hizmǝttǝ bolƣan ƣulamliri.
Inkosi yasisithi: Dumo lobukhulu bani obenziwa kuModekhayi ngalokhu? Izinceku zenkosi ezaziyikhonza zasezisithi: Kakwenziwanga lutho kuye.
4 — Orda ⱨoylisida kim bar? — dǝp soridi padixaⱨ. Bu qaƣda Ⱨaman padixaⱨtin Mordikayni ɵzi tǝyyarlap ⱪoyƣan darƣa esixni tǝlǝp ⱪilƣili kelip, ordining taxⱪiriⱪi ⱨoylisiƣa kirgǝnidi.
Inkosi yasisithi: Ngubani osegumeni? UHamani wayesengene egumeni elingaphandle lendlu yenkosi ukukhuluma enkosini ukuthi ilengise uModekhayi egodweni ayemlungisele lona.
5 — Mana, Ⱨaman ⱨoylida turidu, — deyixti padixaⱨning ƣulamliri uningƣa. — Kirsun, — dedi padixaⱨ.
Izinceku zenkosi zasezisithi kuyo: Khangela, uHamani umi egumeni. Inkosi yasisithi: Kangene.
6 Ⱨaman kiriwidi, padixaⱨ uningdin: — Padixaⱨ izzǝt-ⱨɵrmitini ⱪilixni yahxi kɵrgǝn kixigǝ nemǝ ixlarni ⱪilixi kerǝk? — dǝp soriwidi, Ⱨaman kɵnglidǝ: «Padixaⱨ izzǝt-ⱨɵrmitini ⱪilixni yahxi kɵrgǝn kixi meningdin baxⱪa yǝnǝ kim bolatti?» — dǝp oylidi-dǝ
UHamani wasengena; inkosi yasisithi kuye: Kwenziweni kumuntu inkosi ethokoza kudumo lwakhe? UHamani wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Ngubani inkosi engathokoza ukumnika udumo okwedlula mina?
7 padixaⱨⱪa: — Padixaⱨ izzǝt-ⱨɵrmitini ⱪilixni yahxi kɵrgǝn kixigǝ
UHamani wasesithi enkosini: Umuntu inkosi ethokoza kudumo lwakhe,
8 padixaⱨim daim kiyidiƣan xaⱨanǝ kiyim-keqǝk wǝ daim minidiƣan arƣimaⱪ, yǝni bexiƣa xaⱨanǝ taj-bǝlgǝ taⱪalƣan arƣimaⱪ elip kelinip,
kakulethwe isembatho sobukhosi inkosi uqobo esigqokayo, lebhiza inkosi eligadayo, lokuthi umqhele wobukhosi ubekwe enhlokweni yalo;
9 xaⱨanǝ kiyim bilǝn arƣimaⱪni padixaⱨning ǝng muⱨtǝrǝm ǝmirliridin birigǝ tutⱪuzsun, u kiyimni padixaⱨim izzǝt-ⱨɵrmitini ⱪilixni yahxi kɵrgǝn kixigǝ kiygüzüp wǝ uni arƣimaⱪⱪa mindürüp xǝⱨǝr mǝydan-koqilirini aylandursun wǝ uning aldida: «Ⱪaranglar! Padixaⱨ izzǝt-ⱨɵrmitini ⱪilixni yahxi kɵrgǝn kixigǝ muxundaⱪ muamilǝ ⱪilinidu!» dǝp jakarlap mangsun, — dedi.
lesembatho lebhiza kunikwe esandleni somunye weziphathamandla zenkosi ezihloniphekayo, lokuthi bagqokise lowomuntu inkosi ethokoza kudumo lwakhe, bamgadise ibhiza adabule igceke lomuzi, bamemeze phambi kwakhe bathi: Kwenziwa nje emuntwini inkosi ethokoza ngodumo lwakhe.
10 Xuning bilǝn padixaⱨ Ⱨamanƣa: — Tez berip deginingdǝk xaⱨanǝ kiyim bilǝn arƣimaⱪni ǝpkǝl, orda dǝrwazisining aldida olturƣan awu Yǝⱨudiy Mordikayƣa dǝl sɵzüngdǝk ⱪilƣin; sening degǝnliringning birǝrsimu kǝm bolup ⱪalmisun! — dedi.
Inkosi yasisithi kuHamani: Phangisa thatha isembatho lebhiza njengokutsho kwakho, wenze njalo kuModekhayi umJuda ohlala esangweni lenkosi; kungawi lalizwi kukho konke okukhulumileyo.
11 Xundaⱪ ⱪilip Ⱨaman xaⱨanǝ kiyim bilǝn arƣimaⱪni ǝkelip, aldi bilǝn Mordikayƣa xaⱨanǝ kiyimni kiygüzdi, andin uni arƣimaⱪⱪa mindürüp, xǝⱨǝr mǝydan-koqilirini aylandurdi wǝ uning aldida: — «Mana, padixaⱨ izzǝt-ⱨɵrmitini ⱪilixni yahxi kɵrgǝn kixigǝ muxundaⱪ muamilǝ ⱪilinidu!» dǝp jakarlap mangdi.
UHamani wasethatha isembatho lebhiza, wagqokisa uModekhayi, wamgadisa wadabula igceke lomuzi, wamemeza phambi kwakhe wathi: Kwenziwa nje emuntwini inkosi ethokoza kudumo lwakhe.
12 Mordikay yǝnila orda dǝrwazisining aldiƣa ⱪaytip bardi; Ⱨaman bolsa ƣǝm-ⱪayƣuƣa petip, bexini qümkigǝn ⱨalda aldirap-tenǝp ɵz ɵyigǝ ⱪaytip kǝtti.
Wasebuyela uModekhayi esangweni lenkosi, kodwa uHamani wahaluzela waya endlini yakhe elila embomboze ikhanda.
13 Ⱨaman hotuni Zǝrǝxkǝ wǝ barliⱪ dost-aƣinilirigǝ bexiƣa kǝlgǝnlirining ⱨǝmmisini eytip bǝrdi. Andin uning danixmǝnliri bilǝn hotuni Zǝrǝx buni anglap uningƣa: — Mordikayning aldida yengilixⱪa baxlaptila; u ǝgǝr Yǝⱨudiylarning nǝslidin bolsa, uni yengǝlmǝyla, ǝksiqǝ sɵzsiz uning aldida mǝƣlup bolidila, deyixti.
UHamani wasetshela uZereshi umkakhe labo bonke abangane bakhe konke okumehleleyo. Abahlakaniphileyo bakhe loZereshi umkakhe basebesithi kuye: Uba uModekhayi engowenzalo yamaJuda, osuqalise ukuwa phambi kwakhe, kawuyikumelana laye, kodwa uzakuwa lokuwa phambi kwakhe.
14 Ular tehi Ⱨaman bilǝn sɵzlixiwatⱪan qeƣida, padixaⱨning ⱨǝrǝm’aƣiliri kelip Ⱨamanni Əstǝr tǝyyarliƣan ziyapǝtkǝ berixⱪa aldiratti.
Besakhuluma loHamani, abathenwa benkosi basondela, bahaluzela ukuletha uHamani edilini uEsta ayelenzile.
