7 Iqimliklǝr altun jamlarda tutup iqilǝtti; jamlar bir-birigǝ ohximaytti; xaⱨanǝ mǝy-xarablar padixaⱨning sǝltǝnitigǝ yarixa mol idi.
Basebenathisa ngezitsha zegolide, lezitsha zaziyizitsha ezehlukeneyo, lewayini lesikhosini laba linengi njengokwesandla senkosi.
8 Xarab iqix ⱪaidisi boyiqǝ, zorlaxⱪa ruhsǝt ⱪilinmaytti; qünki padixaⱨ ordidiki barliⱪ ƣojidarlarƣa, ⱨǝrkimning iqixi ɵz haⱨixi boyiqǝ bolsun, dǝp bekitip bǝrgǝnidi.
Lokunatha kwakungokomthetho, kungekho obamba ngamandla; ngoba ngokunjalo inkosi yayilayile kwabakhulu bonke bendlu yayo ukuthi benze njengokufisa komuntu lomuntu.
9 Hanix Waxtimu padixaⱨ Aⱨaxweroxning ordisida ayallar üqün ziyapǝt bǝrdi.
UVashiti indlovukazi laye wenzela abesifazana idili endlini yesikhosini inkosi uAhasuwerusi ayelayo.
10 Yǝttinqi küni Aⱨaxwerox padixaⱨ xarabtin kǝypi qaƣ bolƣinida, aldida hizmitidǝ turƣan Mǝⱨuman, Bizta, Ⱨarbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zetar, Karkas degǝn yǝttǝ ⱨǝrǝm’aƣisini
Ngosuku lwesikhombisa, inhliziyo yenkosi isithokozile ngewayini, yathi kuboMehumani, uBhizitha, uHaribona, uBhigitha, loAbhagitha, uZethari, loKarikasi, abathenwa abayisikhombisa ababesebenza phambi kwenkosi uAhasuwerusi,
11 hanix Waxtining puⱪralar wǝ ǝmirlǝrning aldida güzǝllikini kɵrsǝtsun dǝp, uni hanixliⱪ tajini kiyip kelixkǝ qarⱪirƣili ǝwǝtti; qünki u tolimu qirayliⱪ idi.
ukuthi balethe uVashiti indlovukazi phambi kwenkosi elomqhele wesikhosini, ukutshengisa abantu leziphathamandla ubuhle bakhe, ngoba wayekhangeleka kuhle.
12 Lekin ⱨǝrǝm’aƣiliri hanix Waxtiƣa padixaⱨning ǝmrini yǝtküzgǝndǝ, u kelixni rǝt ⱪildi; xuning bilǝn padixaⱨ intayin ƣǝzǝplinip, uning ⱪǝⱨri ɵrlidi.
Kodwa indlovukazi uVashiti yala ukubuya ngelizwi lenkosi elalingesandla sabathenwa. Ngakho inkosi yathukuthela kakhulu, lolaka lwayo lwavutha phakathi kwayo.
13 Xu waⱪitlarda padixaⱨning ixliri toƣruluⱪ ⱪanun-ǝⱨkamlarni pixxiⱪ bilgǝnlǝrdin mǝsliⱨǝt sorax aditi bar idi; xunga padixaⱨ wǝziyǝtni pixxiⱪ qüxinidiƣan danixmǝnlǝrdin soridi
Inkosi yasisithi kwabahlakaniphileyo ababesazi izikhathi (ngoba lalinjalo ilizwi lenkosi phambi kwabo bonke abaziyo umthetho lesahlulelo,
14 (u qaƣda danixmǝnlǝrdin uning yenida Karxina, Xetar, Admata, Tarxix, Mǝrǝs, Marsena, Mǝmukan ⱪatarliⱪ yǝttǝ Pars bilǝn Medianing ǝmirliri bar idi; ular daim padixaⱨ bilǝn kɵrüxüp turatti, padixaⱨliⱪta ular aldinⱪi ⱪatarda turatti).
lalabo ababeseduze layo babengoKarishena, uShethari, uAdimatha, uTarshishi, uMeresi, uMarisena, uMemukani, iziphathamandla eziyisikhombisa zePerisiya leMede, ezazibona ubuso benkosi, ezazihlala phambili embusweni):
15 Padixaⱨ ulardin: — Hanix Waxti mǝnki padixaⱨ Aⱨaxweroxning ⱨǝrǝm’aƣilar arⱪiliⱪ yǝtküzgǝn ǝmrim boyiqǝ ix ⱪilmiƣini üqün uni ⱪanun boyiqǝ ⱪandaⱪ bir tǝrǝp ⱪilix kerǝk? — dǝp soridi.
Ngokomthetho kungenziwani ngendlovukazi uVashiti ngenxa yokuthi kayenzanga ilizwi lenkosi uAhasuwerusi ngesandla sabathenwa?
16 Mǝmukan padixaⱨ wǝ ǝmirlǝrning aldida jawap berip: — Hanix Waxti aliylirining zitiƣa tegipla ⱪalmay, bǝlki padixaⱨimiz Aⱨaxweroxning ⱨǝrⱪaysi ɵlkiliridiki barliⱪ ǝmirlǝr wǝ barliⱪ puⱪralarningmu zitiƣa tǝgdi.
UMemukani wasesithi phambi kwenkosi leziphathamandla: UVashiti indlovukazi wonile kungeyisikho enkosini kuphela, kodwa lakuziphathamandla zonke lebantwini bonke abasezabelweni zonke zenkosi uAhasuwerusi.
17 Qünki hanixning xu ⱪilƣini barliⱪ ayallarning ⱪuliⱪiƣa yǝtsǝ, ular «Padixaⱨ Aⱨaxwerox: «Hanixi Waxtini yenimƣa elip kelinglar» dǝp ǝmr ⱪilsa, u kǝlmǝptu!» dǝp ɵz ǝrlirini mǝnsitmǝydiƣan ⱪilip ⱪoyidu.
Ngoba isenzo sendlovukazi sizaphumela kubo bonke abesifazana, kuze kuthi badelele omkabo emehlweni abo, nxa besithi: Inkosi uAhasuwerusi watshela ukuthi kulethwe uVashiti indlovukazi phambi kwayo, kodwa kayizanga.
18 Pars wǝ Mediadiki mǝlikǝ-hanimlar hanixning bu ixini anglap, bügünla padixaⱨning barliⱪ bǝg-ǝmirlirigǝ xuningƣa ohxax dǝydiƣan bolidu, xuning bilǝn mǝnsitmǝslik wǝ hapiliⱪ üzülmǝydu.
Yebo mhlalokho amakhosikazi ePerisiya leMede ezwe isenzo sendlovukazi azakuthi kuzo zonke iziphathamandla zenkosi, kube khona ukudelela lokuthukuthela okwedlulisayo.
19 Padixaⱨimƣa muwapiⱪ kɵrünsǝ, aliyliridin mundaⱪ bir yarliⱪ qüxürülsun, xuningdǝk u Parslar wǝ Medialarning mǝnggü ɵzgǝrtilmǝydiƣan ⱪanun-bǝlgilimiliri iqigǝ pütülgǝyki, Waxti ikkinqi padixaⱨ Aⱨaxweroxning ⱨuzuriƣa kǝlmigǝy; uning hanixliⱪ mǝrtiwisi uningdin yahxi birsigǝ berilgǝy.
Uba kulungile enkosini kakuphume umthetho wesikhosini kuyo, kakubhalwe emithethweni yamaPerisiya lamaMede, ongeguqulwe, ukuthi uVashiti kayikungena phambi kwenkosi uAhasuwerusi; inkosi inike-ke ubukhosikazi bakhe komunye onjengaye ongcono kulaye.
20 Aliylirining jakarliƣan yarliⱪi pütün sǝltǝnitigǝ yetip anglanƣan ⱨaman (uning sǝltǝnitining zemini bipayan bolsimu), ayallarning ⱨǝrbiri ɵz erigǝ, mǝyli qong bolsun kiqik bolsun ularƣa ⱨɵrmǝt ⱪilidiƣan bolidu, — dedi.
Usuzwakele umthetho wenkosi ezawenza embusweni wayo wonke (ngoba mkhulu) bonke abesifazana bazanika inhlonipho kubomkabo, kusukela komkhulu kusiya komncinyane.
21 Mǝmukanning bu gepi padixaⱨ bilǝn ǝmirlirini hux ⱪildi; padixaⱨ uning gepi boyiqǝ ix kɵrdi.
Njalo indaba yayilungile emehlweni enkosi leziphathamandla; inkosi yasisenza njengokwelizwi likaMemukani.
22 U padixaⱨning barliⱪ ɵlkilirigǝ, ⱨǝrbir ɵlgigǝ ɵz yeziⱪi bilǝn, ⱨǝrⱪaysi ǝl-millǝtkǝ ɵz tili bilǝn hǝtlǝrni ǝwǝtip: «Ⱨǝrbir ǝr kixi ɵz ailisi iqidǝ hojayin bolsun, xundaⱪla ɵz ana tili bilǝn sɵzlisun» degǝn ǝmrni qüxürdi.
Yasithumela izincwadi kuzo zonke izabelo zenkosi, kusabelo lesabelo njengombhalo waso, lakubo abantu labantu njengokolimi lwabo, ukuthi ileyo laleyondoda ibe ngumbusi endlini yayo, ikhulume njengokolimi lwabantu bakibo.
