Esteri 9

¹Ngenyanga yeshumi nambili, eyinyanga ka-Adari, ngosuku lweshumi nantathu lwayo, lapho kwakusondela isimemezelo senkosi nomthetho wayo ukuba wenziwe, ngalolo suku izitha zabaJuda zazinethemba lokunqoba ngalo. Babe nazo, (ngisho noma kwakuphambene, ukuthi amaJuda ayebusa phezu kwalabo ababewazonda;)

²AbaJuda babuthana emizini yabo kuzo zonke izifunda zenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi ukuba babeke izandla phezu kwababefuna okubi kwabo; futhi akekho owayengamelana nabo; ngoba ukwesaba kwabo kwehlela phezu kwabantu bonke.

³Bonke ababusi bezifunda, nezinduna, nezikhulu, nezikhulu zenkosi babasiza abaJuda; ngoba ukwesaba uMoridekayi kwabehlela.

⁴Ngokuba uMoridekayi wayemkhulu endlini yenkosi, nodumo lwakhe lwaphumela ezifundeni zonke, ngokuba lowo muntu uMoridekayi waba mkhulu ngokuba mkhulu.

⁵Ngakho abaJuda bachitha zonke izitha zabo ngokuceka kwenkemba, nangokubulala, nangokubhubhisa, benza njengokuthanda kwabo kwababazondayo.

⁶Esigodlweni uSusan amaJuda abulala futhi abhubhisa amadoda angamakhulu amahlanu.

⁷NoParshandatha noDalfoni no-Aspata,

⁸noPoratha, no-Adaliya, no-Aridata,

⁹neParmashta, no-Arisayi, no-Aridayi, noVayizatha,

¹⁰Amadodana ayishumi kaHamani indodana kaHamedatha, isitha sabaJuda, ababulala; kepha abazibekanga izandla zabo empangweni.

¹¹Ngalolo suku inani lababulawa esigodlweni sikaSusan lalethwa phambi kwenkosi.

¹²Inkosi yathi ku-Esteri indlovukazi: “AmaJuda abulala, achitha abantu abangamakhulu ayisihlanu esigodlweni sikaSusani kanye namadodana ayishumi kaHamani; benzani kwezinye izifunda zenkosi? manje siyini isicelo sakho? uyakunikwa; noma yisiphi isicelo sakho futhi? futhi kuyokwenzeka.

¹³Wayesethi u-Esteri: “Uma inkosi ithanda, mawanikwe abaJuda abaseShushani ukuba benze nakusasa njengomthetho wanamuhla, namadodana ayishumi kaHamani alengiswe esigxotsheni.

¹⁴Inkosi yasilaya ukuthi kube njalo, kwaphuma umlayo eSusa; bawaphanyeka amadodana ayishumi kaHamani.

¹⁵AbaJuda ababeseShushani babuthana nabo ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga ka-Adari, babulala abantu abangamakhulu amathathu eShushani; kepha abazibekanga izandla zabo empangweni.

¹⁶Kodwa abanye abaJuda ababesezifundeni zenkosi babuthana, bamela ukuphila kwabo, baphumula ezitheni zabo, babulala ezitheni zabo eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu, kepha ababambanga izandla zabo empangweni.

¹⁷Ngosuku lweshumi nantathu lwenyanga ka-Adari; ngosuku lweshumi nane lwaso baphumula, balwenza lwaba usuku lwedili nolokuthokoza.

¹⁸Kepha abaJuda ababeseShushani babuthana ngolweshumi nantathu nangolweshumi nane; ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwaso baphumula, balwenza lwaba usuku lwedili nolokuthokoza.

¹⁹Ngakho abaJuda bemizi ababehlala emizini engabiyelweyo benza usuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga ka-Adari lube usuku lwenjabulo nolwedili nosuku oluhle, nolokuthumelelana izabelo.

²⁰UMoridekayi waloba lezi zinto, wathumela izincwadi kuwo wonke amaJuda ayesezifundazweni zonke zenkosi u-Ahashiveroshi, aseduze nakude;

²¹ukukumisa phakathi kwabo, ukuthi bagcine usuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga ka-Adari nolweshumi nanhlanu lwayo minyaka yonke;

²²njengezinsuku amaJuda aphumula ngazo ezitheni zawo, nenyanga eyaguqulelwa kuwo usizi yaba intokozo, nokulila kwaba usuku oluhle; nezipho kwabampofu.

²³AmaJuda avuma ukwenza njengalokho ayeqalile, nanjengoba uMoridegayi wayewabhalele wona;

²⁴Ngoba uHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi, isitha sawo wonke amaJuda, wayecebe abaJuda ukuba ababhubhise, baphonse iPhure, okuyinkatho, ukubaqothula, ababhubhise;

²⁵Kodwa lapho u-Esteri efika phambi kwenkosi, yayala ngezincwadi ukuba icebo lakhe elibi alicebile ngamaJuda libuyele ekhanda lakhe, futhi yena namadodana akhe baphanyekwe esigxotsheni.

²⁶Kungakho namuhla baqamba igama elithi iPhurimi ngegama lePhure. Ngakho, ngenxa yawo wonke amazwi ale ncwadi, nalokho abakubonayo, abafika kubo ngale ndaba,

²⁷AmaJuda anquma futhi azithathela wona kanye nenzalo yawo nabo bonke abazihlanganisa nawo, ukuze kungapheli, ukuthi bagcine lezi zinsuku ezimbili njengemibhalo yabo nangesikhathi sazo esimisiwe unyaka nonyaka;

²⁸nokuthi lezi zinsuku kufanele zikhunjulwe futhi zigcinwe yizo zonke izizukulwane ngezizukulwane, nezifunda ngezifunda nawo wonke umuzi; nokuthi lezi zinsuku zePhurimi zingashabalali phakathi kwamaJuda, futhi inkumbulo yazo ingashabalali enzalweni yawo.

²⁹Khona-ke u-Esteri indlovukazi, indodakazi ka-Abihayili, noMoridekayi umJuda baloba ngamandla onke ukuze baqinise le ncwadi yesibili yePurimi.

³⁰Wathumela izincwadi kubo bonke abaJuda ezifundeni eziyikhulu namashumi amabili nesikhombisa zombuso ka-Ahashiveroshi, ngamazwi okuthula neqiniso,

³¹ukuze kuqinise lezo zinsuku zePhurimi ngezikhathi zazo ezimisiweyo, njengalokho uMoridekayi umJuda no-Esteri indlovukazi babayala, nanjengoko bezinqumile bona nenzalo yabo, izindaba zokuzila ukudla nokubiza kwabo.

³²Isiyalezo sika-Esteri saziqinisa lezi zindaba zePhurimi; futhi kulotshiwe encwadini.
