Awo ku lunaku olwo Kabaka Akaswero n’awa Nnabagereka Eseza ebintu byonna ebya Kamani omulabe w’Abayudaaya. Eseza n’ategeeza Kabaka nti alina oluganda ku Moluddekaayi, era okuva mu kiseera ekyo Moluddekaayi n’ajjanga mu maaso ga Kabaka.
2 Mambo akabvisa mhete yake yechindori, yaakanga atorazve kubva kuna Hamani, ndokuipa Modhekai. Uye Esteri akamugadza kuti ave mutariri weimba yaHamani.
Kabaka n’aggyako empeta ye gye yaggya ku Kamani n’agiwa Moluddekaayi, ate era ne Eseza n’afuula Moluddekaayi okuvunaanyizibwa ebintu ebyali ebya Kamani.
3 Ipapo Esteri akakumbirisa zvakare akawira patsoka dzake achichema. Akakumbirisa kuti amise urongwa hwakaipa hwaHamani muAgagi, hwaakanga arongera vaJudha.
Awo Eseza n’agenda ewa Kabaka nate ng’amwegayirira ng’agwa ku bigere bye n’okukaaba nga bw’akaaba, ng’amusaba akomye enteekateeka embi zonna eza Kamani Omwagaagi, n’enkwe ze yali asalidde Abayudaaya.
4 Ipapo mambo akatambanudzira tsvimbo yake yegoridhe kuna Esteri iye akasimuka akamira pamberi pake.
Kabaka n’agololera Eseza omuggo ogwa zaabu, amangu ago Eseza n’agolokoka n’ayimirira mu maaso ga Kabaka.

Eseza n’ayogera nti, “Kabaka bw’anasiima, era obanga ŋŋaanze mu maaso ga Kabaka, nange obanga musanyusa, bawandiike ekiragiro okujjulula ebbaluwa Kamani mutabani wa Kammedasa Omwagaagi, ze yayiiya era n’awandiika okuzikiriza Abayudaaya mu bitundu byonna ebya kabaka.
6 Ndingagona seiko kuona kuparadzwa kuchiwira kuvanhu vangu? Ndingashinga sei ndichiona kuparadzwa kworudzi rwangu?”
Nnyinza ntya okugumiikiriza okulaba obulabe obulijja ku bantu bange, era n’okulaba okuzikirizibwa okw’ennyumba yange?”
7 Ipapo Mambo Zekisesi akapindura vaHosi Esteri naModhekai muJudha achiti, “Nokuti Hamani akarwisa vaJudha, ndapa imba yake kuna Esteri, uye ivo vamuturika padanda.
Awo Kabaka Akaswero n’agamba Nnabagereka Eseza ne Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya nti, “Olw’okuba Kamani yali ayagala kuzikiriza Abayudaaya, ebintu bye mbiwadde Eseza, era n’okuwanikibwa awanikibbwa ku Kalabba.
8 Zvino chinyorai chimwe chirevo muzita ramambo sezvamunoona zvakakunakirai mugochisimbisa nemhete yamambo, nokuti hakuna gwaro rakanyorwa muzita ramambo rikasimbiswa nemhete yake ringashandurwa.”
Noolwekyo muwandiike ekiwandiiko ekirala mu linnya lya Kabaka ku lw’Abayudaaya nga bwe musiima, era mukisseeko akabonero n’empeta ya Kabaka, kubanga tewali kiwandiiko ekiwandiikiddwa mu linnya lya Kabaka era ekiteekeddwako akabonero n’empeta ya Kabaka ekiyinza okujjululwa.”
