1Ngobo busuku, ukumkani walala ubuthongo, waza wayalela ukuba kuziswe incwadi; zaleswa phambi kokumkani.

2Kwafunyaniswa ukuba kwakubhaliwe oko uMordekayi wayekuxelile ngokuphathelele uBhigetana noTerese, izicakakazi ezimbini zendlu kakumkani, abagcini-masango, ababefuna ukubulala uKumkani uAhaswerosi.

3Wathi uYehova, Wenze mbekoni na, nabukhulu buni na uMordekayi? Bathi abakhonzi bokumkani ababelungiselela kuye, akenziwanga nto.

4Wathi ukumkani, Ngubani na osendlwini? Wangena uHaman entendelezweni engaphandle yendlu yokumkani, esiya kuthetha kukumkani malunga nokuxhonywa kukaMordekayi emthini abemlungisele wona.

5Bathi abakhonzi bokumkani kuye, Nanko uHaman emi endle. Wathi ukumkani, Makangene.

6Wangena uHaman, wathi ukumkani kuye, Makwenziwe ntoni na kwindoda, athe ukumkani athanda ukuyibeka imbeko? Wathi uHaman entliziyweni yakhe, Ngubani na ukumkani angathanda ukubeka embekweni ngaphezu kwam?

7uHaman wamphendula ukumkani, wathi, Kungenxa yokuba indoda leyo ukumkani athanda ukuyihlonela;

8Maziziswe ingubo yokwaleka yokumkani, nehashe akhwele kulo ukumkani, nesithsaba sobukumkani esithiwe wambu entlokweni yakhe;

9Esi sambatho nehashe masinikelwe esandleni somnye wezikhulu zokumkani ezibekekileyo, ukuba ambambe lowo athanda ukumbeka ukumkani, akhwele ehashini endaweni yembutho yesixeko wadanduluka phambi kwakhe. Kuya kwenziwa ngokwendoda ukumkani afuna ukuhlonelwa.

10Wathi ukumkani kuHaman, Khawuleza, uthabathe ingubo leyo nehashe elo, njengoko ukuthethileyo, wenjenjalo kuMordekayi umYuda, ohleli emnyango wokumkani; Makungabikho siphazamiso kuyo yonke into oyithethileyo.

11Wandula ke uHaman wathabatha isambatho nehashe waza wamambathisa uMordekayi waza wamkhwelisa ehashini ukuya kwindawo yembutho yesixeko waza wadanduluka phambi kwakhe esithi: “Makwenziwe oku kwindoda afuna imbeko kuyo ukumkani.

12Wabuya uMordekayi weza esangweni lokumkani; Wangxama uHaman, waya endlwini yakhe, elila, egqubuthele intloko.

13uHaman waxelela uSerese umkakhe, nezihlobo zakhe zonke, konke okumhleleyo. Zathi kuye izilumko zakhe, noSerese umkakhe, Ukuba ungowesizwe samaYuda uMordekayi, lowo uqalileyo ukuwa phambi kwakhe, akuyi kumeyisa; wowa phambi kwakhe.

14Bathe besathetha naye, beza abalungiseleli bokumkani, bamgibisela uHaman esidlweni ebesilungiselwe nguEstere.
