Ndị na-ejere ya ozi zara, “Heman na-eguzo nʼogige.” Eze sịrị, “Kpọbata ya.”
6 Rĩrĩa Hamani aaingĩrire, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũngĩĩkwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia?” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hamani akĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩ mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia tiga niĩ?”
Mgbe Heman batara, eze jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị bụ ugwu m kwesiri inye onye mere ihe na-atọ m ụtọ?” Heman chere nʼime onwe ya sị, “Oleekwanụ onye ọzọ eze ga-achọ inye ugwu karịa mụ onwe m?”
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia-rĩ,
Ya mere ọ zara eze, “Banyere nwoke ahụ ọ masịrị eze ịkwanyere ugwu,

9 Ningĩ wĩtĩkĩre nguo ĩyo ndaaya, na mbarathi ĩyo, ciĩhokerwo mũndũ ũmwe mũtĩĩku mũno wa anene a mũthamaki.

Ka enye uwe ahụ na ịnyịnya ahụ nʼaka otu onye kachasị nwee ugwu nʼime ụmụ eze, ka ha yikwasị nwoke ahụ nke eze chọrọ ịsọpụrụ uwe ahụ, ka ịnyịnya buru ya dịka ha dọkpụ ya na-ejegharị nʼokporoụzọ niile nʼobodo, na-ekwusa nʼihu ya na-asị, ‘Otu a ka a na-emere nwoke ahụ ọ masịrị eze inye nsọpụrụ!’”
10 Mũthamaki agĩatha Hamani, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ narua, woe nguo ĩyo na mbarathi ĩyo, na wĩke Moridekai ũcio Mũyahudi o ũguo woiga, o ũcio ũikaraga hau kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki. Ndũgatigĩrĩre ũndũ o na ũmwe wa maũndũ macio mothe wagaathĩrĩria mekwo.”
Mgbe ahụ eze nyere Heman iwu, sị; “Ahaa! Ntụpụta gị dị mma nke ukwuu! Mee ngwangwa, were uwe ndị a, na ịnyịnya m, meekwara Mọdekai onye Juu ahụ na-anọdụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọeze ihe niile ndị a i kwuru. Hụkwa na i mechasịrị ihe ndị a niile i kwuru.”
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hamani akĩoya nguo ĩyo na mbarathi ĩyo. Akĩhumba Moridekai nguo, na akĩmũtongoria ahaicĩte mbarathi njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩu inene, akĩanagĩrĩra mbere yake atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo gwĩkagwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia!”
Ya mere, Heman chịịrị uwe eze ahụ yikwasị ya Mọdekai nʼahụ. O mekwara ka ọ nọdụ nʼelu ịnyịnya eze. Emesịa, o duuru ya jegharịa nʼakụkụ obodo ahụ niile na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Otu a ka eze ga-esi sọpụrụ nwoke ahụ ihe ya dị ya mma.”
12 Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, Moridekai agĩcooka kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki. No Hamani akĩguthũka gwake mũciĩ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ kĩeha,
Emesịa, Mọdekai lọghachiri nʼọnụ ụzọ ama eze. Ma Heman mere ngwangwa laa nʼụlọ ya, kpuchiekwa isi ya nʼiru ụjụ,
