8 Benɛ a fiɛɛ matsɛ ɔ munyu ɔ kɛ e mlaa a, nɛ́ a ngɔ yihewi babauu kɛ ba Shushan,* nɛ ji matsɛ ma a* mi konɛ Hegai nɛ hyɛ a nɔ ɔ, a ngɔ Ester hu kɛ ya matsɛ we ɔ konɛ Hegai, nɛ ji yi ɔmɛ a nɔ hyɛlɔ ɔ nɛ hyɛ e nɔ.
9 E suɔ yiheyo ɔ sane, nɛ e ná e he bua jɔmi,* lɔ ɔ he ɔ, oya nɔuu nɛ e to blɔ nya nɛ́ a dla lɛ* kɛ ní slɔɔtohi konɛ e he nɛ pee fɛu, nɛ e to e niye ní hu he blɔ nya, nɛ e hla yihewi kpaago ngɛ matsɛ we ɔ konɛ a sɔmɔ lɛ. Jehanɛ hu ɔ, e je e kɛ e mawayi ɔmɛ kɛ ya yi ɔmɛ a we ɔ mi he nɛ hi pe kulaa.

11 Daa ligbi ɔ, Mordekai ya slaa si ngɛ yi ɔmɛ a we ɔ yale ɔ hɛ mi, konɛ e kɛ hyɛ bɔ nɛ Ester ngɛ ha, kɛ bɔ nɛ níhi ngɛ nɔ yae ha lɛ ha.
12 A to be ha yiheyo fɛɛ yiheyo nɛ́ e ya Matsɛ Ahasuerus ngɔ benɛ yi ɔmɛ gbe nyɔhiɔ 12 nɛ a tsɔɔ kaa a kɛ dla mɛ ɔ nya.

13 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, yiheyo ɔ ma nyɛ maa ya matsɛ ɔ ngɔ. Ke e maa je yi ɔmɛ a we ɔ mi kɛ ya matsɛ ɔ we ɔ mi ɔ, a ma ha lɛ nɔ́ fɛɛ nɔ́ nɛ e ma bi ke a ha lɛ ɔ.

(Jamɛ a be ɔ mi tsuo ɔ, nɔ fɛɛ nɔ nɛ maa na Ester a náa e he bua jɔmi.)
16 A ngɔ Ester kɛ ya Matsɛ Ahasuerus ngɔ ngɛ e matsɛ we ɔ mi ngɛ nyɔhiɔ nyɔngmane, nɛ ji Tebet* nyɔhiɔ ɔ mi, ngɛ e nɔ yemi jeha kpaagone ɔ mi.

19 Jehanɛ ɔ, benɛ a bua yihewi nɛ a li nyumu ɔ* a nya si enyɔne ɔ, Mordekai hii si ngɛ matsɛ ɔ agbo ɔ mi.
20 Ester de we nɔ́ ko kɛ kɔ e weku li kɛ e ma mi bi ɔmɛ a he kaa bɔ nɛ Mordekai wo lɛ si ɔ; Ester ya nɔ nɛ e pee níhi nɛ Mordekai de lɛ ɔ kaa bɔ nɛ e peeɔ benɛ e ngɛ e sisi ɔ.

22 Se Mordekai nu he, nɛ oya nɔuu nɛ e ya bɔ Manyɛ Ester amaniɛ. Kɛkɛ nɛ Ester kɛ matsɛ ɔ tu munyu ngɛ Mordekai biɛ* mi.
