Esteri 2

¹Ngemva kwalezi zinto, lapho ulaka lwenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi selubohlile, wamkhumbula uVashiti nalokho ayekwenzile nalokho okwakunqunyelwe kuye.

²Izinceku zenkosi ezimkhonzayo zathi: “Inkosi mayifunelwe izintombi ezinhle;

³Inkosi mayimise izinduna kuzo zonke izifunda zombuso wayo ukuba zibuthe zonke izintombi ezinhle esigodlweni saseSusa, endlini yabesifazane, ngaphansi kwesandla sikaHege, induna yenkosi, umlindi wabesifazane.

⁴Intombazane enhle enkosini mayibe yindlovukazi esikhundleni sikaVashiti. Le ndaba yaba mnandi enkosini; Futhi wakwenza.

⁵Kwakukhona esigodlweni saseShushani umJuda othile ogama lakhe linguMoridegayi indodana kaJayire kaSimeyi kaKishi wakwaBenjamini;

⁶abathunjwa eJerusalema kanye nokuthunjwa kanye noJekoniya, inkosi yakwaJuda, owathunjwa nguNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele.

⁷Wayesondla uHadasa, ongu-Esteri, indodakazi kayisekazi; ngokuba yayingenayise noma unina, intombazana yayiyinhle, iyinhle; uMoridekayi wafa uyise nonina wayithatha yaba yindodakazi yakhe.

⁸Lapho kuzwakala umyalo nomyalo wayo wenkosi, nalapho izintombi eziningi zibuthene esigodlweni uSusan ngaphansi kwesandla sikaHegayi, u-Esteri naye walethwa endlini yenkosi ngaphansi kwesandla sikaHegayi umgcini wabesifazane.

⁹Intombi yamthokozisa, yathola umusa kuyo; washesha wamnika izinto zakhe zokuhlanjululwa, nakho konke okwakhe, nezintombi eziyisikhombisa abemelwe ukuziphiwa, ziphuma endlini yenkosi; wamkhetha yena nezincekukazi zakhe phezu kwendawo enhle kunazo zonke yendlu yabesifazane.

¹⁰U-Esteri akabatshelanga abantu bakubo nomndeni wakubo, ngoba uMoridegayi wayemyalile ukuba angasho.

¹¹UMoridegayi wayehamba zonke izinsuku phambi kwegceke lendlu yabesifazane ukuze azi ukuthi u-Esteri unjani nokuthi kuzokwenzekani kuye.

¹²Lapho incekukazi ngayinye ingena ngokudedelana ukungena enkosini u-Ahashiveroshi, isinezinyanga eziyishumi nambili njengomthetho wabesifazane, ngokuba zaphelela kanjalo izinsuku zokuhlanjululwa kwabo, izinyanga eziyisithupha ngamafutha emure, nezinyanga eziyisithupha. Ngephunga elimnandi, nezinye izinto zokuhlanzwa kwabesifazane;

¹³Zase zifika zonke izintombi enkosini kanje; konke ayekufuna wanikwa ukuthi ahambe laye endlini yabesifazana ukuya endlini yenkosi.

¹⁴Yahamba kusihlwa, ngangomuso yabuyela endlini yesibili yabesifazane, phansi kwesandla sikaSheshahasi, induna yenkosi, egada izancinza; nokuthi wayeshiwo ngegama.

¹⁵Lapho kufika ithuba lika-Esteri, indodakazi ka-Abihayili, uyisekazi kaMoridekayi, owamthatha ukuba abe indodakazi yakhe, wangena enkosini, akafunanga lutho ngaphandle kwalokho uHegayi, inceku yenkosi, umlindi wenkosi. Abesifazane, abamisiwe. U-Esteri wazuza umusa emehlweni abo bonke abambonayo.

¹⁶Ngakho u-Esteri wayiswa enkosini u-Ahashiveroshi endlini yayo yobukhosi ngenyanga yeshumi, eyinyanga kaThebeti, ngomnyaka wesikhombisa wokubusa kwayo.

¹⁷Inkosi yamthanda u-Esteri ngaphezu kwabo bonke abesifazane, wathola umusa nesihe emehlweni ayo ngaphezu kwazo zonke izintombi; wayesemthwesa umqhele wobukhosi, wamenza indlovukazi esikhundleni sikaVashiti.

¹⁸Inkosi yayisilungisela zonke izikhulu zayo nezinceku zayo idili elikhulu, idili lika-Esteri; wakhulula izifunda, wapha izipho ngokomthetho wenkosi.

¹⁹Lapho izintombi zibuthana ngokwesibili, uMoridekayi wahlala phansi esangweni lenkosi.

²⁰U-Esteri akakasho inzalo yakhe nabantu bakubo; njengokumyala kukaMoridegayi; ngoba u-Esteri wenza umyalo kaMoridegayi njengalapho esondliwa nguye.

²¹Ngalezo zinsuku lapho uMoridekayi ehlezi esangweni lenkosi, izinceku ezimbili zenkosi, uBhigithani noTeresi, ababeqapha umnyango, bathukuthela bazama ukubeka isandla enkosini u-Ahashiveroshi.

²²Le ndaba yaziwa nguMoridegayi, wayitshela u-Esteri inkosikazi; u-Esteri wayimemezela inkosi yayo egameni likaMoridekayi.

²³Lapho indaba isiphenyisiswa, yafunyanwa; baphanyekwa bobabili emthini, kwalotshwa encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla phambi kwenkosi.
