3 INdlovukazi yaphendula yathi, “Nxa ngifumene umusa kuwe nkosi, njalo nxa inkosi kuyithokozisa, bengicelela ukuphila, yiso isicelo sami lesi.
Higeno anante kuini a' Esta'a kenona'a huno, kini ne'moka musema hunantenka kavesi nantenunka, kantahigoanki nagri'ene vahe'ni'anena tahe ofrio.

5 Inkosi u-Ahasuweru wathi ku-Esta iNdlovukazi, “Ngubani lowo? Ungaphi umuntu obelesibindi sokwenza into enje?”
Higeno kini ne' Serksisi'a kuini a' Estankura amanage hu'ne, Iza e'inahu kea hu'ne? Iga ana nera mani'nea ne'mo e'inahu zana huke hu'ne?
6 U-Esta wathi, “Isitha lomuntu ololunya nguyenalo uHamani olomona.” UHamani wasethuthumela phambi kwenkosi lendlovukazi.
Higeno Esta'a kenona'a huno, E'i ana kefo avu'ava'ma nehuno ha'ma renerantea nera Hemanikino ama mani'ne. Anage higeno Hemani'a kuini a'mofo avugane, kini ne'mofo avuga tusi agogogu nehuno ahirahiku hu'ne.
7 Inkosi yasukuma igcwele ulaka yatshiya iwayini layo yaya phandle esivandeni sesigodlo. Kwathi uHamani ebona ukuthi inkosi yayisiyenze isinqumo ngempilo yakhe, wasala ngemuva ukuba azincengele impilo yakhe eNdlovukazini u-Esta.
Anage higeno kini ne'mo'a, tusi arimpa ahegeno otino atiramino knagune hozafi vu'ne. E'inama higeno'a, Hemani'a mani'neno kuini a'mo'ma asunku'ma huntesigu amesumesu hu'ne. Na'ankure agrama antahiana, kini ne'mo'ma eme ahe frizanku anara hu'ne.
8 Kwathi inkosi isiphendukile esivandeni sesigodlo ingena endlini yedili, yathola uHamani eziphosa esihlalweni lapho u-Esta ayehlezi khona. Inkosi yababaza yathi, “Kambe ungadlova indlovukazi ngikhonapha endlini na!” Kwathi ilizwi lelo liphuma emlonyeni wenkosi, bagubuzela ubuso bukaHamani.
Hagi kini ne'mo'ma knagune hozafinti'ma eno'ma eme keana Hemani'a kuini a'mofo tava'onte agafi mase'za nehigeno eme ke'ne. Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a huno, Ama ne'mo'a navufi kuini a' anteno vase'za nehifi?

9 Kwathi uHaribhona, omunye wabathenwa ababesebenzela inkosi wathi, “Kulensika yokulengisa abantu ephakeme okuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu emiswe eduze lendlu kaHamani. Yena ubeyenzele uModekhayi, owaveza icebo elibi ukusiza inkosi.” Inkosi yathi, “Mlengiseni kuyo!”
