Tsiku lachitatu Estere anavala zovala zake zaufumu ndipo anayima mʼbwalo la mʼkati la nyumba yaufumu choyangʼana ku chipinda chachikulu cha mfumu. Mfumu inakhala pa mpando waufumu mʼchipinda chachikulu moyangʼana ku chipata cholowera mʼnyumba yaufumu.
2 Kabaka bwe yalengera Nnabagereka Eseza ng’ayimiridde mu luggya, n’aganja mu maaso ge era n’amugololera omuggo ogwa zaabu ogwali mu mukono gwe. Awo Eseza n’asembera n’akoma ku musa gw’omuggo.
Mfumu itaona Estere atayima mʼbwalomo inakondwera naye ndipo anamuloza ndi ndodo yagolide imene inali mʼdzanja lake. Choncho Estere anayandikira ndi kukhudza msonga ya ndodoyo.
3 Kabaka n’alyoka amubuuza nti, “Oyagala ki Nnabagereka Eseza? Era kiki ky’osaba? Onookiweebwa ne bwe kinaaba ekitundu ky’obwakabaka.”
Kenaka mfumu inati kwa iye, “Kodi mukufuna chiyani, inu mfumukazi Estere? Nanga pempho lanu ndi chiyani? Ngakhale mutapempha theka la ufumu, ndidzakupatsani.”
4 Awo Eseza n’addamu nti, “Kabaka bw’anaasiima, ajje ne Kamani leero ku mbaga gye nfumbidde Kabaka.”
Ndipo Estere anayankha kuti, “Ngati chingakukomereni, mfumu, mubwere lero pamodzi ndi Hamani kuphwando limene ndakonzera inu mfumu.”
5 Amangwago Kabaka n’agamba nti, “Mwanguwe okuyita Kamani ajje tugende ku mbaga Eseza gyateeseteese.”
Mfumu inati, “Muwuzeni abwere Hamani msanga, kotero kuti tichite monga Estere wapempha.” Choncho mfumu ndi Hamani anafika kuphwando limene Estere anakonza.
6 Awo bwe baali banywa wayini, Kabaka n’addamu n’abuuza Eseza nti, “Wegayirira ki era osaba ki? Kinaakuweebwa. Ne bwe kinaaba ekitundu ky’obwakabaka kinaakuweebwa.”
Akumwa vinyo, mfumu inamufunsano Estere kuti, “Kodi ukupempha chiyani tsopano? Chimene uti upemphe ndikupatsa. Chopempha chako ndi chiti? Ngakhale utafuna mpaka theka la ufumu, ndidzakupatsa.”
7 Eseza n’amugamba nti, “Kye negayirira era kye nsaba kye kino.
Estere anayankha kuti, “Pempho langa ndi chofuna changa ndi ichi:
8 Obanga ŋŋanze mu maaso ga Kabaka era ng’anaasiima okuddamu okusaba kwange, n’okutuukiriza kye neegayirira, nkusaba kabaka ne Kamani mujje enkya ku mbaga gye nnaabategekera. Olwo nno, nzija kuddamu ekibuuzo kya kabaka.”
Ngati mwandikomera mtima mfumu ndiponso ngati chingakukondweretseni mfumu kundipatsa chimene ndapempha ndi kuchita zimene ndifuna, mubwere mawa inu mfumu ndi Hamani ku phwando limene ndidzakukonzerani. Ndipo ndidzakuyankhani mfumu funso lanu.”
9 Ku lunaku olwo Kamani n’afuluma nga musanyufu era ng’ajaguza mu mwoyo. Naye bwe yalaba Moluddekaayi mu wankaaki wa Kabaka, nga tayimuse wadde okulaga nti amussaamu ekitiibwa, Kamani n’asunguwalira nnyo Moluddekaayi.
Tsiku limenelo Hamani anatuluka wokondwa ndi wosangalala kwambiri. Koma ataona Mordekai pa chipata cha mfumu ndi kuti sanayimirire kapena kumupatsa ulemu pamene iye amadutsa, Hamani anamukwiyira kwambiri,
10 Wakati mu ebyo byonna Kamani n’azibiikiriza era n’addayo eka. Oluvannyuma n’atumya mukyala we Zeresi ne mikwano gye,
komabe Hamani anadziletsa ndipo anapita ku nyumba kwake. Anayitana abwenzi ake pamodzi ndi mkazi wake Zeresi.
11 era n’abeewaanirako ekitiibwa n’obugagga bwe, bwe byenkana obungi, n’abaana be bwe benkana obungi, n’ebitiibwa byonna Kabaka bye yamuwa, ate ne bwe yakuzibwa okusinga abakungu ba Kabaka n’abaana be.
Hamani anawawuza za kuchuluka kwa chuma chake ndi kuti anali ndi ana aamuna ambiri. Anawawuzanso za mmene mfumu inamukwezera ndi kumuyika kukhala woposa nduna ndi olemekezeka onse.
12 “Ate si ekyo kyokka,” Kamani n’ayongerako na kino nti, “Nnabagereka Eseza teyaganyizza muntu mulala n’omu kuwerekera Kabaka ku mbaga gye yategese, wabula nze; era n’enkya ampise ŋŋende wamu ne Kabaka.
Hamani anawonjeza kuti, “Ndipotu si zokhazi. Ndine ndekha amene ndayitanidwa pamodzi ndi mfumu kuphwando limene mfumukazi Estere anatikonzera. Ndipo mawa wandiyitananso pamodzi ndi mfumu.
13 Naye ebyo byonna tebimpa mirembe nga nkyalaba Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya ng’atudde ku wankaaki wa Kabaka.”
Koma zonsezi sindikhutira nazo ndikamaona nthawi zonse Myuda uja Mordekai atakhala pa chipata cha mfumu.”
14 Awo mukazi we Zeresi ne mikwano gye gyonna ne bamugamba nti, “Bazimbe akalabba obuwanvu bwako, mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu, enkya bw’onooyogera ne Kabaka, Moluddekaayi anaawanikibwa okwo, kale olyoke ogende ku mbaga ne Kabaka ng’oli musanyufu.” Ekirowoozo ekyo kyasanyusa nnyo Kamani, era akalabba ne kazimbibwa.
Mkazi wake Zeresi ndi abwenzi ake onse aja anamuwuza kuti, “Anthu apange mtanda wotalika mamita 23 ndipo mmawa upemphe mfumu kuti anthu akhomerepo Mordekai. Kenaka upite ndi mfumu kuphwando mokondwa.” Hamani anakondwera ndi uphungu umenewu ndipo mtanda unapangidwa.
