U-Esteri 2:7-11 ZUL20

Wayenomzala ogama lakhe lingu-Esteri, elesiHebheru kunguHadasa, owayemuhle futhi eme kahle. Uyise nonina babengasekho, ngakho-ke uMoridekhayi wamthatha wamkhulisa njengendodakazi yakhe. Kwathi sesiphumile isimemezelo senkosi, kwalethwa izintombi eziningi ekomkhulu eShushani, ukuba zibhekwe nguHegayi; no-Esteri walethwa esigodlweni ukuba azobhekwa nguHegayi owayengamele indlu yabesifazane. U-Esteri waba nogazi, wathandeka kuHegayi, futhi wafumana umusa kuye, washeshe wamnika okokuziqhola nesabelo sakhe sokudla kwekhethelo. Wamnika indawo enhle kakhulu esigodlweni, waqoka izintombi eziyisikhombisa ezikhethekile esigodlweni ukuba zimnakekele. U-Esteri akatshelanga muntu ngezihlobo zakhe noma ngabakubo, ngoba wayemdonse ngendlebe uMoridekhayi ukuba angasho lutho. Nsuku zonke uMoridekhayi wayezidlisa satshanyana ngasesangweni lendlu yabesifazane, ukuze ahogele ukuthi uqhuba kanjani u-Esteri, nokuthi yini ezokwenzeka kuye.
