Ester 1:1-22
1 Pefimbo lohamba Ahasveros,* sha hala okutya, Ahasveros, oo a pangela oitukulwalongo 127, okudja kuIndia fiyo okuEtiopia,*
2 pefimbo olo, eshi ohamba Ahasveros ya li omutumba kolukalwapangelo layo, muSusan,* oshilando sha dingililwa komakuma,*
3 momudo omutitatu wokupangela kwayo, okwa li a ningila oitelekela omalenga aye aeshe novapiya vaye aveshe. Etangakwaita laPersia nolaMedia, ovanenenhu nosho yo omalenga oitukulwalongo navo opo va li.
4 Okwe va ulikila oupuna wouhamba waye wa tumbala, ewapalo nefimano laye linene moule womafiku mahapu, omafiku 180.
5 Eshi omafiku oo a pwa ko, ohamba oya li ya ningila ovanhu aveshe oitelekela, ovo va li hava di muSusan,* oshilando sha dingililwa komakuma,* oule womafiku aheyali, okudja kwaavo va fimanekwa fiyo okovanhu vongaho, moshihale shomoshikunino shomombala yohamba.
6 Moshihale omwa li mwa fewekwa nomalapi atoka, a longwa moliina nomomundele, noiyata imbulau ya mangwa neengodi da longwa moshiyata shitoka nomolududi lipeepela. Okwa li a tulikwa koutenda ve li ongonga voshisilveri, ndele taa mangelwa keengudimanya diwa, nomwa li omatyofa oshingoli nooshisilveri, e li polukolongo la ningwa nomamanya atilyana, omamanya atoka, okawe nomamanya alaula.
7 Omaviinyu okwa li haa tulwa momaholo;* eholo keshe ola li la yooloka ko kulikwao, nomaviinyu omombala okwa li mahapu, she likolelela koiniwe yohamba.
8 Okunwa okwa li kwe likolelela koshipango osho kutya, kape na oo a fininikwa,* molwaashi ohamba oya li ya unganeka pamwe nomalenga ayo omombala kutya keshe umwe na ninge osho tashi mu wapalele.
9 Omumbada Vasti naye okwa li a ningila ovakainhu, ovo va li meumbo* lomouhamba wohamba Ahasveros, oitelekela.
10 Mefiku etiheyali, eshi omutima wohamba wa li wa hafa unene omolwomaviinyu, oya li ya lombwela Mehuman, Bista, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Setar naKarkas, omalenga aheyali omombala, oo a li ovapiya vohamba Ahasveros,
11 a ete omumbada Vasti kohamba, a djala elapi lokulimanga komutwe lomouhamba, i ulikile ovanhu nomalenga ewapalo laye, osheshi okwa li muwa unene.
12 Ashike omumbada Vasti okwa kala ta anye okuya palombwelo lohamba, olo a li a pewa komalenga omombala. Opo nee ohamba oya li ya handuka neenghono, noya li ya fula onya.
13 Ohamba oya popya novalumenhu ovanongo, ovo ve na eendunge, shi na sha neenghedindjikilile,* (molwaashi kungaho, oshinima shohamba osha li sha shiivika kwaaveshe ovo va li ve shii omhango nomaupyakadi aeshe, oo haa pongololwa po mombala,
14 naavo va li popepi nayo ovo: Karsena, Setar, Admata, Tarsis, Meres, Marsena naMemukan, omalenga aheyali omuPersia naMedia, ovo va li hava popi nohamba nova li ve na eendodo dopombada mouhamba).
15 Ohamba oya pula ya ti: “She likolelela komhango, oshike shi na okuningilwa omumbada Vasti, molwaashi ina dulika kelombwelo lohamba Ahasveros, olo a yandja okupitila momalenga omombala?”
16 Opo nee Memukan okwa popya moipafi yohamba noyomalenga, a ti: “Kashi li ashike omhinge nohamba oyo aike, eshi omumbada Vasti a nyona, ndele oshi li omhinge nomalenga aeshe nosho yo ovanhu aveshe vomoitukulwalongo aishe yohamba Ahasveros.
17 Osho omumbada a ninga otashi ka shiivika kovakulukadi aveshe notava ka dina ovashamane vavo, tava ti: ‘Ohamba Ahasveros oya li ya tuma omumbada Vasti a ye kuyo, ndele okwa anya oku ya ko.’
18 Nena eli, ovakulukadi vomalenga aPersia naMedia, ovo ve shii kombinga yaasho omumbada a ninga, otava ka popya nomalenga aeshe ohamba, naasho otashi ka etifa odino nehandu.
19 Ngeenge otashi wapalele ohamba, nai yandje oshipango, ndele tai shangifa meemhango daPersia naMedia, odo itadi dulu okulundululwa, kutya Vasti ine uya vali nandenande kohamba Ahasveros; nohamba nai mu kufe ondodo yaye yomouhamba, ndele tai yandje ondodo oyo komukainhu, oo e li xwepo e mu dule.
20 Nongeenge oshipango shohamba osha udika mouhamba wayo aushe, ovakulukadi aveshe otava ka fimaneka ovashamane vavo, okudja kovanhu ovo va fimanekwa fiyo okovanhu vongaho.”
21 Oshinima osho osha li sha hafifa ohamba nomalenga, nohamba oya ninga osho sha popiwa kuMemukan.
22 Oya tuma eenhumwafo moitukulwalongo aishe yomouhamba, oshitukulwalongo keshe opashangelo* lasho, nomunhu keshe omelaka laye, molwaashi omushamane oye mwene* weumbo laye, nelaka laye olo li na okulongifwa koukwaneumbo waye.
