Esteri 8
UMoridegayi uza phambi kweNkosi
1Ngalolo suku inkosi u-Ahashiveroshi yanika u-Esteri indlovukazi indlu kaHamani isitha sabaJuda. UMoridekayi weza phambi kwenkosi; ngoba u-Esteri wakhuluma lokho ayeyikho kuye.
2Inkosi yakhumula indandatho yayo ebiyithathile kuHamani, yayinika uMoridekayi. U-Esteri wabeka uMoridekayi phezu kwendlu kaHamani.
3U-Esteri wabuye wakhuluma phambi kwenkosi, wawa ngasezinyaweni zayo, wayincenga ngezinyembezi ukuba isuse ububi bukaHamani umAgagi, necebo lakhe ayelicebe ngamaJuda.
4Inkosi yelulela u-Esteri intonga yegolide. U-Esteri wayesesukuma wema phambi kwenkosi.
5Wathi: “Uma kukuhle enkosini, noma ngifumene umusa emehlweni ayo, nendaba ibonakala ilungile phambi kwenkosi, ngithandeka emehlweni ayo, makulotshwe ngezincwadi uHamani, indodana uHamedatha umAgagi owalobela ukubhubhisa abaJuda abakuzo zonke izifunda zenkosi.
6Ngokuba ngingakubekezelela kanjani ukubona ububi obuzokwehlela abantu bami na? noma ngingabekezelela kanjani ukubona ukubhujiswa komndeni wami?
7Inkosi u-Ahashiveroshi yathi ku-Esteri indlovukazi nakuMoridekayi umJuda: “Bhekani, ngimnike u-Esteri indlu kaHamani, bamphanyeka esigxotsheni, ngokuba welulela isandla sakhe kumaJuda.
8Futhi lobelani abaJuda egameni lenkosi njengokufisa kwenu, nilinamathelise ngendandatho yenkosi; ngoba umbhalo olotshiweyo ebizweni lenkosi, waphawulwa ngendandatho yenkosi, kawuphenduki muntu.
9Ababhali benkosi basebebizwa ngaleso sikhathi ngenyanga yesithathu eyinyanga kaSivani ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lantathu lwayo; kulotshiwe njengakho konke uMoridekayi ayala ngakho amaJuda, nezinduna, nezinduna, nababusi bezifunda, kusukela eNdiya kuze kube seKushe, izifunda eziyikhulu namashumi amabili nesikhombisa esifundazweni ngasinye njengokuloba kwaso, bonke abantu ngolimi lwabo, nakumaJuda ngokokuloba kwabo nangokwezilimi zabo.
10Yabhala egameni lenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi, yanameka ngendandatho yenkosi, yathumela izincwadi ngeposi nabakhwele amahhashi, nabakhwele iminyuzi, namakamela, namakamela.
11Lapho inkosi yanika abaJuda ababekuyo yonke imizi ukuba babuthane, bamele ukuphila kwabo, ukuba bachithe, babulale, bachithe onke amandla abantu nezifunda ezaziyakubahlasela, abancane nabesifazane, ukuthatha impango yabo ibe yimpango,
12ngalusuku lunye kuzo zonke izifunda zenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi, okungukuthi, ngosuku lweshumi nantathu lwenyanga yeshumi nambili, eyinyanga ka-Adari.
13Ikhophi yombhalo womyalo okufanele ikhishwe kuzo zonke izifundazwe yaziswa kubantu bonke, nokuthi amaJuda kwakumelwe alungele ngalolo suku ukuziphindiselela ezitheni zawo.
14Khona-ke amadodana ayegibele iminyuzi namakamela aphuma ngokushesha, ayala ngesiyalezo senkosi. Futhi umyalo wanikezwa esigodlweni uSusan.
15UMoridegayi wasuka enkosini egqoke izingubo zobukhosi eziluhlaza nokumhlophe, enomqhele omkhulu wegolide, nangengubo yelineni elicolekileyo nokububende; umuzi waseShushani wathokoza, wajabula.
16AmaJuda athola ukukhanya, intokozo lenjabulo lodumo.
17Ezifundeni zonke nasemizini yonke, lapho kwafika khona izwi lenkosi nomyalo wayo, abaJuda baba nokujabula nokujabula, nomkhosi nosuku oluhle. Abaningi kubantu bezwe baba amaJuda; ngoba ukwesaba abaJuda kwabehlela.
