Esteri 4
U-Esteri usiza amaJuda
1Kwathi uMoridegayi ebona konke okwenzekileyo, uMoridegayi waklebhula izingubo zakhe, wembatha izingubo zokulila nomlotha, waphuma waya phakathi nomuzi, wakhala ngokukhala okukhulu nokubabayo;
2Wafika ngisho naphambi kwesango lenkosi, ngoba akekho ongangena esangweni lenkosi egqoke izingubo zokulila.
3Ezifundeni zonke nomaphi lapho kwafika khona izwi lenkosi nesimiso sayo, kwaba khona ukulila okukhulu phakathi kwabaJuda, nokuzila ukudla, nokukhala, nokukhala; abaningi balala bembethe amasaka nomlotha.
4Zase zifika izincekukazi zika-Esteri nezincekukazi zakhe, zamtshela. Khona-ke indlovukazi yadabuka kakhulu; wathumela izingubo zokugqokisa uMoridegayi, akhumule indwangu yakhe yesaka kuye, kepha akazemukelanga.
5U-Esteri wayesebiza uHathagi, omunye wezinceku zenkosi eyayimmisile ukuba amnakekele, wamnika umyalo kuMoridekayi ukuze azi ukuthi kuyini nokuthi kungani.
6UHathaki wayesephumela kuMoridekayi esigcawini somuzi esasiphambi kwesango lenkosi.
7UMoridekayi wamtshela konke okwamehlele, nenani lemali uHamani athembise ukuyibuyisela endlini yengcebo yenkosi ukuba abaJuda bawabhubhise.
8Wamnika nekhophi yombhalo womthetho owashiwo eShushani wokuba ababhujiswe, awubonise u-Esteri nokuwumemezela kuye nokumyala ukuba angene enkosini ayocela. Kuye nokunxusela abantu bakubo phambi kwakhe.
9UHathagi wafika wamtshela u-Esteri amazwi kaMoridekayi.
10U-Esteri wabuye wakhuluma kuHathagi, wamyala uMoridekayi;
11Zonke izinceku zenkosi nabantu bezifunda zenkosi bayazi ukuthi yilowo nalowo, owesilisa noma owesifazane, oza enkosini egcekeni elingaphakathi, engabizwanga, kumthetho wakhe munye ukuba ambulale ukuze amiswe, ngaphandle kwalabo inkosi eyokwelulela kubo intonga yegolide, ukuze aphile; kepha mina angibizwanga ukuba ngingene enkosini lezo zinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu.
12Bamtshela uMoridekayi amazwi ka-Esteri.
13UMoridekayi wayeseyala ukuba kuphendulwe u-Esteri: “Ungacabangi ukuthi wena uyakusinda endlini yenkosi kunawo wonke amaJuda.
14Ngokuba uma nithula impela ngalesi sikhathi, kuyakuvela ukwandiswa nokusindiswa kwabaJuda kwenye indawo; kepha wena nendlu kayihlo niyakuchithwa; Ngubani owaziyo ukuthi ungene embusweni isikhathi esinjengalesi na?
15U-Esteri wayesethi kuMoridekayi:
16Hamba uqoqe wonke amaJuda akhona eShushani, ningizilele, ningadli, ningaphuzi izinsuku ezintathu, ubusuku nemini. Mina nezincekukazi zami siyakuzila kanjalo; kanjalo ngiyongena enkosini, okuphambene nomthetho; futhi uma ngibhubha, ngiyabhubha.
17UMoridekayi wahamba, wenza njengalokho u-Esteri emyalile.
