1Ikosi noHamani baya emnyanyeni, bayokudla no-Esta indlovukazi.

2Kwathi elangeni lesibili basasela iwayini njalo, ikosi yathi godu ku-Esta: “Ndlovukazi Esta, siyini isililo sakho? Uzakwenzelwa sona. Yitjho isibawo sakho! Ngitjho nanyana kungaba siquntu sombuswami, uzakuphiwa sona.”

3Indlovukazi u-Esta yaphendula yathi: “Maye kosi, nangabe ngifunyene umusa emehlweni wekosi begodu nangabe kuthokozisa ikosi, ikosi ayingiphe ukuphila beyisindise nabantu bekhethu. Ngileso-ke isililo nesibawo sami.

4Iye, kungombana sithengisiwe, mina nabantu bekhethu kufuze sibhujiswe, sibulawe besipheliswe. Ngathana besithengiswe njengamakhoboka namakhobokakazi, bengizozithulela ngombana isizi elingaka belingeze lafaka ikosi ebujameni obumasikizi.”

5Nje-ke ikosi u-Arhatjhiverotjhi yathi ku-Esta indlovukazi: “Ngubani umuntu obe nesibindi esingaka sokwenza lokho? Njekhona uphi umuntu wakhona loyo?”

6U-Esta waphendula wathi: “Mumuntu ojamelene nathi nosisitha, ngitjho yena uHamani, into ekhohlakeleko le!” Lokho kwenza uHamani abethwe livalo elikhulu phambi kwekosi nendlovukazi.

7Ikosi yasikima emnyanyenapho inyenye khulu yatjhinga esivandeni sesigodlo. UHamani wahlala kobana ancengele ubuphilo bakhe endlovukazini u-Esta ngombana gade asele alemukile bonyana ikosi ihlose okumbi ngaye.

8Kwathi lokha ikosi nayibuya esivandeni sesigodlo kobana ingene lapha bekubanjelwe khona umnyanya, qala nango uHamani awele esihlalweni sokuphumula lapha kuhlezi khona u-Esta, azincengela. Ikosi yathi: “Baba-ke! Umswa lo, sele afuna nokugagadlhela indlovukazi phambi kwami ngesigodlwenapha!” Kuthe ikosi ingalitjho lelo, iinceku zagubuzesa ubuso bakaHamani.

9Nje-ke uRharibhona ongomunye wabaphakulwa bekosi wathi: “Qala kosi, endlini kaHamani kujame isigodo esimamitha amatjhumi amabili nantathu ukuphakama. Isigodweso uHamani gade asilungiselele uMoridekayi umuntu owakhuluma ikosi kuhle.” Ikosi yathi: “Mphanyekeni kiso!”

10Mbala baphanyeka uHamani esigodweni egade asilungisele uMoridekayi. Nje-ke ilaka lekosi labohla.
