Aester
1 jab mordakaai ne jan liya ki kya kya kiya gaya haai tab mordakaai vasr faad, ttatt pahin, rakh dalakar, nagar ke madhy jakar unche aur dukhbhre shabd se chillane laga
2 aur vah rajabhvan ke faattk ke samhane pahuncha, parantu ttatt pahine huae rajabhvan ke faattk ke bheetar to kisee ke jane kee agyaa n thee.
3 aur aek aek praant me, jahan jahan raja kee agyaa aur niyam pahuncha, vahan vahan yahoodee bada vilap karane aur upavas karane aur rone peettne lage varan bahutere ttatt paahine aur rakh dale huae pade rahe.
4 aur aester ranee kee sahealiyon aur khojon ne jakar usako bata diya, tab ranee shaek se bhr gai aur mordakaai ke pas vasr bhejakar yah kahalaya ki ttatt utarakar inhen paahin le, parantu us ne unhen n liya.
5 tab aester ne raja ke khojon men se hatak ko jise raja ne usake pas rahane ko ttharaya tha, bulavakar agyaa dee, ki mordakaai ke pas jakar maloom kar le, ki kya bat haai aur isaka kya karan haai.
6 tab hatak nagar ke us chauk me, jo rajabhvan ke faattk ke samhane tha, mordakaai ke pas nikal gaya.
7 mordakaai ne usako sab kuchh bata diya ki mere upar kya kya beeta haai, aur haman ne yahoodiyon ke nash karane kee anumati pane ke liye rajabhndar men kitanee chandee bhr dene ka vachan diya haai, yah bhee tteek tteek batala diya.
8 fir yahoodiyon ko vinash karane kee jo agyaa shooshan men dee gai thee, usakee aek nakal bhee us ne hatak ke hath me, aester ko dikhane ke liye dee, aur use sab hal batane, aur yah agyaa dene ko kaha, ki bheetar raja ke pas jakar apane logon ke liye gidgidakar binatee kare.
9 tab hatak ne aester ke pas jakar mordakaai kee baten kah sunai.
10 tab aester ne hatak ko mordakaai se yah kahane kee agyaa dee,
11 ki raja ke sab karmachaariyo, varan raja ke praanton ke sab logon ko bhee maloom haai, ki kya purush kya sree koi kyon n ho, jo agyaa bina paae bheetaree angan men raja ke pas jaaega usake mar dalane hee kee agyaa haai keval jisakee or raja sone ka rajadand baddhaae vahee bachata haai. parantu maain ab tees din se raja ke pas naheen bulai gai hoo.
12 aester kee ye baten mordakaai ko sunai gai.
13 tab mordakaai ne aester ke pas yah kahala bheja, ki too man hee man yah vichar n kar, ki maain hee rajabhvan men rahane ke karan aur sab yahoodiyon men se bachee rahoongee.
