Thuutha wa maũndũ macio, rĩrĩa marakara ma Mũthamaki Ahasuero maahoreire, akĩririkana Vashiti, na ũrĩa eekĩte, o na ũrĩa aatuĩrĩirwo ciira. Nao ndungata cia mũthamaki ikiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki nĩacaariĩrio airĩĩtu gathirange athaka. Mũthamaki nĩathuure anene bũrũriinĩ o wothe wa ũthamaki wake, nĩguo macookanĩrĩrie airĩĩtu gathirange othe athaka, mamarehe itũũrainĩ inene rĩa Shushani, nyũmbainĩ ya atumia ĩrĩa ĩrĩ rungu rwa Hegai, mũhakũre wa mũthamaki ũrĩa ũrangĩire atumia, nao mamahee indo cia kwĩgemia. Nake mũirĩĩtu ũrĩa ũgaakenia mũthamaki nĩatuĩke mũtumia wa mũthamaki ithenya rĩa Vashiti.” Naguo ũhoro ũcio ũgĩkenia mũthamaki, nake agĩĩka o ũguo.

Na rĩrĩ, itũũrainĩ inene rĩa Shushani nĩ kwaarĩ na Mũyahudi watuĩtwo Moridekai, mũrũ wa Jairũ, mũrũ wa Shimei, mũrũ wa Kishi, wa mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini, ũrĩa watahĩtwo akarutwo Jerusalemu hamwe na arĩa maatahirwo marĩ hamwe na Jekonia mũthamaki wa Juda, ũrĩa Nebukadineza mũthamaki wa Babuloni aamũtahire. Nake nĩareeraga Hadasa, na nĩwe Esiteri, mwarĩ wa ithe mũnini, ũrĩa ũtaarĩ na ithe kana nyina. Nake mũirĩĩtu ũcio aarĩ mũthaka mwĩrĩ, na wa gũkenia maitho; na rĩrĩa ithe na nyina maakuire, Moridekai akĩmuoya agĩtua mwarĩ wake mwene.

Na rĩrĩa watho wa mũthamaki na itua rĩake ciaiguuo, na airĩĩtu aingĩ magĩcookanĩrĩrio itũũrainĩ inene rĩa Shushani rungu rwa ũmenyereri wa Hegai, o nake Esiteri agĩtwarwo nyũmbainĩ ya ũthamaki, rungu rwa ũmenyereri wa Hegai, mũrangĩri wa atumia. Nake mũirĩĩtu ũcio akĩmũkenia na agĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maithoinĩ make, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩhiũha kũmũhe indo cia kwĩgemia na irio ciake, o na airĩĩtu mũgwanja aamũre kuuma nyũmbainĩ ya ũthamaki, akĩmũthaamĩria hamwe na ndungata ciake handũ harĩa hega mũno thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya atumia. No Esiteri ndaamenyithĩtie andũ ao kana mbarĩ yao, tondũ Moridekai nĩamwĩrĩte ndakoige ũhoro ũcio. Na o mũthenya Moridekai nĩathiiaga agĩcookaga mbere ya nja ya nyũmba ya atumia, nĩguo amenye ũrĩa Esiteri aatariĩ, na ũrĩa aarĩĩkagĩrwo.

Na rĩrĩ, ihinda rĩa o mũirĩĩtu rĩa gũthiĩ kũrĩ Mũthamaki Ahasuero rĩakinyaga thuutha wa mĩeri ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya kwĩgemia kũrĩa kwaathanĩtwo: mĩeri ĩtandatũ na maguta ma manemane, na mĩeri ĩtandatũ na mũtararĩko na indo cia kwĩgemia. Na mũirĩĩtu aathiiaga kũrĩ mũthamaki na mũtugo ũyũ: kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩa angĩetirie nĩaaheagwo nĩguo athiĩ nakĩo kuuma nyũmbainĩ ya atumia nginya nyũmbainĩ ya ũthamaki. Aatoonyaga hwaĩinĩ, na rũũciinĩ agacooka nyũmbainĩ ya keerĩ ya atumia, rungu rwa Shaashigazu, mũhakũre wa mũthamaki ũrĩa wamenyagĩrĩra thuri. Ndaacookaga kũrĩ mũthamaki tiga aakenetio nĩwe na aamwĩtire na rĩĩtwa rĩake.

Na rĩrĩa ihinda rĩa Esiteri rĩakinyire rĩa gũthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki—mwarĩ wa Abihaili, ithe mũnini wa Moridekai, ũrĩa wamũtuĩte mwarĩ wake mwene—ndaigana kũũria kĩndũ o na kĩmwe tiga o kĩrĩa Hegai, mũhakũre wa mũthamaki ũrĩa warangĩire atumia, aamũtaarire. Nake Esiteri agĩĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ arĩa othe maamuonaga.

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Esiteri agĩtwarwo kũrĩ Mũthamaki Ahasuero nyũmbainĩ yake ya ũthamaki, mweriinĩ wa ikũmi, nĩguo Tebethu, mwakainĩ wa mũgwanja wa ũthamaki wake. ^a

Nake mũthamaki akĩenda Esiteri gũkĩra atumia arĩa angĩ othe; nake agĩĩtĩkĩrĩka na agĩĩtĩkĩrwo nĩwe gũkĩra airĩĩtu gathirange arĩa angĩ othe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩkĩra thũmbĩ ya ũthamaki mũtwe, akĩmũtua mũtumia wa mũthamaki ithenya rĩa Vashiti.

Nake mũthamaki akĩrugithia iruga inene nĩ ũndũ wa anene ake othe na ndungata ciake—narĩo nĩ iruga rĩa Esiteri. Akĩanĩrĩra mũthenya wa kũhurũka mabũrũriinĩ, na akĩheana iheo na ũtaana wa ũthamaki.

Na rĩrĩa airĩĩtu gathirange maacookanĩrĩirio riita rĩa keerĩ, Moridekai aikarĩte kĩhingoinĩ kĩa mũthamaki. No Esiteri ndaamenyithĩtie andũ ao kana mbarĩ yao, o ta ũrĩa Moridekai aamwathĩte; nĩamwathĩkagĩra o ta rĩrĩa aamũreeraga.

Moridekai Aguũria Ndundu ya Gũũkĩrĩra Mũthamaki

Matukũinĩ macio, Moridekai aikarĩte kĩhingoinĩ kĩa mũthamaki, Bigithani na Tereshu, ahakũre eerĩ a mũthamaki arĩa maarangĩire mũrango, makĩrakara, magĩciira ndundu ya kũũraga Mũthamaki Ahasuero. No Moridekai akĩmenya ũhoro wa ndundu ĩyo, akĩĩra Esiteri mũtumia wa mũthamaki, nake Esiteri akĩĩra mũthamaki ũhoro ũcio na rĩĩtwa rĩa Moridekai.
