1Kwathi ngomhla wesithathu uEstere wambatha ingubo yakhe yobukumkani, wema entendelezweni engaphakathi yendlu yokumkani, malunga nendlu yokumkani; ukumkani ubehleli etroneni yobukumkani bakhe, endlwini yokumkani, malunga nesango lendlu.

2Ukumkani wambona uEstere ukumkanikazi emi entsimini, wambabala; Waza ukumkani wayolulela intonga yegolide abeyibambe kuEstere. Wasondela uEstere, wachukumisa incam yentonga yobukumkani.

3Wathi uYehova kuye, Ufuna ntoni na, kumkanikazi Estere? siyintoni na isicelo sakho? uya kunikwa isiqingatha sobukumkani.

4Wathi uEstere, Ukuba ukumkani uthe wabona kufanelekile, makeze ukumkani namhlanje noHaman esidlweni endimenzele sona.

5Wathi ukumkani, Makangxame uHaman, enze ngokwelizwi likaEstere. Ke ukumkani noHaman beza esidlweni abesilungiselele uEstere.

6Wathi ukumkani kuEstere ngasesidlweni sewayini, Uthandazela ntoni na? Siyintoni na isicelo sakho? kude kube sisiqingatha sobukumkani kuya kugqitywa.

7Waphendula uEstere, wathi, Sisicelo sam esi, nokucela kwam;

8Ukuba ndithe ndababalwa emehlweni okumkani, ukuba kuthe kwalunga kukumkani, ukuba andinike umthandazo wam, asizalise isicelo sam, makeze ukumkani noHaman esidlweni endibalungisela sona ngomso; ndiya kuza yenza njengoko wathethayo ukumkani.

9Waza waphuma uHaman ngaloo mini evuya evuya, kodwa akumbona uMordekayi esangweni likakumkani ukuba akazange ayeke yaye akazange angcangcazele ngenxa yakhe, uHaman wazala ngumsindo nxamnye noMordekayi.

10Wazibamba uHaman, waya endlwini yakhe, wabiza izihlobo zakhe, noSerese umkakhe.

11uHaman wabaxelela ngozuko lobutyebi bakhe nenani loonyana bakhe nazo zonke izinto awamphakamisa ngazo ukumkani, nendlela aziphakamisa ngayo ngaphezu kweenkosana nabakhonzi bakakumkani.

12Ngaphezu koko, uHaman wathi: “Ewe, ukumkanikazi uEstere akazange avumele nabani na ukuba abe kunye nokumkani esidlweni awayesilungiselele ngaphandle kwam; yaye ngomso ndiya kumenyelwa kuye nokumkani.

13Ke yonke le nto ayindincedi nganto, njengoko ndabona uMordekayi umYuda ehleli esangweni lokumkani.

14Wathi ke uSeres umkakhe nezihlobo zakhe zonke kuye, Umthi mawuphakame ube ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu, uthethe kukumkani ngomso, ukuba uMordekayi axhonywe kuwo; emva koko atye kunye nokumkani ngovuyo. Yalunga loo nto emehlweni kaHaman; kwaye wenza ukuba kwenziwe umthi.
