Na ɔhene no soo sika ahempema no mu, de kyerɛɛ Ɛster so. Enti ɔsɔre gyinaa nʼanim

Na mɛyɛ dɛn atena ase ahwɛ sɛ wɔrekunkum me nkurɔfo ne mʼabusuafo, asɛe wɔn?”
7 Mgbe ahụ, eze bụ Ahasuerọs gwara Esta nwunye eze na Mọdekai onye Juu okwu sị ha, “Enyela m Esta akụnụba Heman, ha akwụgbukwaala Heman nʼosisi, nʼihi na ọ chọrọ ịla ndị Juu nʼiyi.
Na ɔhene Ahasweros ka kyerɛɛ Ɔhemmea Ɛster ne Yudani Mordekai se, “Mede Haman agyapade ama Ɛster, na wɔasɛn no wɔ dua so, efisɛ ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yudafo.

Afei, fa ɔhene din kyerɛw mmara foforo wɔ Yudafo no din mu, ka nea wopɛ biara wɔ mu, na fa ɔhene kaa no sɔw ano. Biribiara a wɔakyerɛw wɔ ɔhene din mu de ne kaa asɔw ano no, wɔnnan ani.”

Enti Siwan ɔsram (bɛyɛ Ayɛwohomumɔ) da a ɛto so aduonu anum no, wɔfrɛɛ ɔhene akyerɛwfo.

10 Mọdekai dere akwụkwọ ahụ nʼaha eze, bụ Ahasuerọs, werekwa ọlaaka ikike eze kaa ya akara, zipụ akwụkwọ ndị a site nʼaka ndị ọgba ọsọ ndị ịnyịnya na-ebu, bụ ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ụkwụ ọsọ nke e leziri anya nke ọma zụọ maka ije ozi dịrị eze.

11 Akwụkwọ nke iwu eze a, nyere ndị Juu niile nọ nʼobodo ọbụla ike izukọta nʼotu maka ịzọ ndụ ha, nyekwa ha ikike ibibi, gbuo ma laa nʼiyi ndị agha nke mba ọbụla, maọbụ ala ndị ahụ a na-achị achị bụ ndị nwere ike ịla ha, ndị inyom ha na ụmụntakịrị ha nʼiyi, na ịpụnara ha akụnụba ha.
Ɔhene no mmara no maa Yudafo a wɔwɔ kurow biara so tumi ma wɔkaa wɔn ho bɔɔ mu, bɔɔ wɔn nkwa ho ban. Wɔmaa wɔn ho kwan sɛ ɔman anaa ɔmantam biara a ebetu wɔn mma anaa wɔn yerenom so sa no, wɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ wokunkum wɔn, tɔre wɔn ase, fow wɔn atamfo no agyapade.
12 Ụbọchị a akara aka maka ndị Juu ime ihe ndị a nʼobodo niile nʼalaeze eze Ahasuerọs bụ nʼabalị iri na atọ nke ọnwa Ada.
Da pɔtee a wotu sii hɔ maa nneyɛe yi wɔ ɔhene Ahasweros mantam mu no yɛ Adar ɔsram (bɛyɛ Ɔbɛnem) da a ɛto so ason wɔ afe a na wɔrebesi mu no mu.

Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa mmara yi sɛso wɔ ɔmantam biara mu sɛ mmara, na wɔda no adi kyerɛ ɔmanfo nyinaa. Sɛ ɛba saa a, saa da no, Yudafo no besiesie wɔn ho, atɔ wɔn atamfo so were.
14 Ndị ahụ na-agba ọsọ, bụ ndị na-ebu akwụkwọ ozi, nọkwasịrị nʼelu ịnyịnya eze mee ngwangwa pụọ, ebe iwu eze kwaliri ha. E nyekwara iwu a na Susa.
Ɔhene asɛm no nti, abɔfo no de apɔnkɔ a wɔayɛn wɔn ama ɔhene no tuu mmirikatɛntɛ. Wɔhyɛɛ mmara koro no ara bi wɔ Susa aban no mu.
