19 Ikkinqi ⱪetim ⱪizlar xundaⱪ yiƣilƣan waⱪitta Mordikayning orda dǝrwazisida olturidiƣan orni bar bolƣanidi
Kwathi izintombi ezigcweleyo sezihlangene okwesibili, uModekhayi wayehlezi esangweni lenkosi.
20 (Əstǝr Mordikayning tapiliƣini boyiqǝ, ɵzining milliti wǝ tegi-tǝktini yǝnila baxⱪilarƣa eytmiƣanidi; qünki Əstǝr Mordikayning gepini ilgiri baⱪⱪan waⱪtida angliƣandǝk anglaytti).

21 U künlǝrdǝ, Mordikay orda dǝrwazisidiki ornida olturƣan waⱪtida, padixaⱨning Bigtan wǝ Tǝrǝx degǝn ikki dǝrwaziwǝn ⱨǝrǝm’aƣisi padixaⱨ Aⱨaxweroxⱪa ƣǝzǝplinip, uningƣa ⱪol selixni ⱪǝstlǝwatⱪanidi.
Ngesikhathi uModekhayi ehlezi esangweni lenkosi, abathenwa benkosi ababili ababelinda emnyango, uBhigithani loThereshi, bathukuthela baceba ukuyibulala inkosi u-Ahasuweru.
