¹Zvino mambo naHamani vakasvika kuzova nemafundo navahosi Esiteri.

¹¶ Heoi, kua tae te kingi raua ko Hamana ki te hakari, ki te kuini, ki a Ehetere.

²Mambo akatizve kuna Esiteri pazuva rechipiri, pamafundo ewaini, Chinyiko chaunonyengetera, vahosi Esiteri? Uchapiwa. Unokumbireiko? Zvichaitwa, kunyange uchikumbira hafu youshe hwangu.

²A ka mea ano te kingi ki a Ehetere i te rua o nga ra, i te mea e inu waina ana, He aha tau e mea nei mau, e Kuini Ehetere? Ka hoatu hoki ki a koe. He aha hoki tau e tono ai? ahakoa ko te hawhe o te kingitanga, ka meatia.

³Ipapo vahosi Esiteri vakapindura vakati, Kana ndichinge ndanzwirwa tsitsi nemwi mambo, kana mambo achifara nazvo, ndinokumbira kuti ndipiwe upenyu hwangu nokuda kokunyengetera kwangu, nobwevanhu vangu nokuda kokukumbira kwangu;

³Katahi ka whakautu a Kuini Ehetere, ka mea, Ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, e te kingi, a ki te pai te kingi; ko taku e mea ai maku, ko ahau kia whakaorangia, ko taku e tono nei maku, ko toku iwi.

⁴nekuti tatengeswa, ini navanhu vangu, kuti tiparadzwe, tiurawe, tipedzwe. Dai takanga tatengeswa tive varanda navashandiri, ndingadai ndanyarara hangu, ,nokuti kutambudzika kwedu hakungaenzaniswi nokutadzirwa kwamambo.

⁴Kua oti hoki matou, ahau me toku iwi, te hoko kia whakangaromia, kia whakamatea, kia huna. Otiia me i hokona matou hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine, kua whakarongo puku ahau: e kore ano ia e rite i te hoariri nga mea a te kingi ka maumauria n ei.

⁵Ipapo mambo Ahashivheroshi akapindura, akati kuna vahosi Esiteri, Ndianiko, aripi iye akazadza mumoyo make kuita izvozvo?

⁵Katahi ka utua e Kingi Ahahueruha, ka mea ki a Kuini Ehetere, Ko wai ra? Kei hea ra te tangata i pokanoa nei tona ngakau ki te mea i tenei mea?

⁶Esiteri akati, Mudzivisi nomuvengi, ndiye Hamani uyu akaipa! Ipapo Hamani akatya pamberi pamambo navahosi.

⁶Ano ra ko Ehetere, He hoariri, he hoa whawhai, anei ko te Hamana kino nei. Katahi ka mataku a Hamana i te aroaro o te kingi raua ko te kuini.

⁷Mambo akasimuka pamafundo ewaini akatsamwa, akaenda kumunda weimba yamambo; Hamani akasimukawo kuzokumbira upenyu hwake kuna vahosi Esiteri, nekuti akaona kuti mambo akafunga kumuitira zvakaipa.

⁷¶ Na whakatika ana te kingi, i te inumanga waina, he riri hoki nona, a haere ana ki te kari o te whare. Ko Hamana hoki, tu tonu ki te inoi ki a Kuini Ehetere mona kia whakaorangia: i kite hoki ia kua takoto te he mona i te kingi.

⁸Ipapo mambo akadzoka achibva pamunda weimba yamambo akapinda panzvimbo yamafundo ewaini; zvino Hamani akanga azviwisira pachigaro pakanga pagere Esiteri. Mambo akati, Zvino wotoda kuchinya vahosi muno mumba pamberi pangu kanhi? Zvino shoko iro rakati rabuda mumuromo wamambo, vakafukidza chiso chaHamani.

⁸Katahi ka hoki te kingi i te kari o te whare ki te whare inu waina, na ko Hamana kua takoto ki te takotoranga o Ehetere. Katahi ka mea te kingi, E takotoria ano ranei e ia te kuini i toku aroaro i te whare? Puta ana te kupu i te mangai o te kingi, ka hipokina e ratou te mata o Hamana.

⁹Ipapo Haribhona, mumwe muranda akanga ari pamberi pamambo, akati, Tarirai, paimba yaHamani pamire matanda akareba anamakubhiti makumi mashanu, akamiswa naHamani, kuti asungirirepo Modhekai, akataura zvakanaka nokuda kwamambo. Mambo akati, Musungirireipo paari.

⁹Katahi ka mea a Harapona, tetahi o nga rangatira ruma i te aroaro o te kingi, Nana, te tarawa e rima tekau whatianga te tiketike, i hanga e Hamana mo Mororekai, nana nei te kupu pai mo te kingi, e tu ra i te whare o Hamana. Ano ra ko te kingi, Ta ronatia ia ki runga.

¹⁰Naizvozvo vakasungirira Hamani pamatanda aakagadzirira Modhekai. Ipapo kutsamwa kwamambo kwakanyarara.

¹⁰Heoi taronatia ana a Hamana ki runga ki te tarawa i oti ra i a ia mo Mororekai, a ka mariri iho te riri o te kingi.
