Esteri 7:6-10

U-Esteri wathi: “Isitha nesitha nguHamani lo omubi.” Khona-ke uHamani wesaba inkosi nendlovukazi. Inkosi yasukuma ngolaka lwayo edilini lewayini, yaya ensimini yesigodlo; uHamani wasukuma ukuba acele ukuphila kwakhe ku-Esteri inkosikazi; ngoba wabona ukuthi inkosi yayinqume okubi phezu kwakhe. Inkosi yayisibuya ensimini yendlu yenkosi, yaya endaweni yedili; uHamani wawela embhedeni u-Esteri ayekuwo. Inkosi yasisithi: Indlovukazi izangena endlini phambi kwami yini? Kwathi ekuphumeni kwelizwi emlonyeni wenkosi, babumbesa ubuso bukaHamani. UHaribona, omunye wezinceku, wathi phambi kwenkosi: “Bheka, futhi umgxobo oyizingalo ezingamashumi amahlanu ukuphakama, uHamani awenzela uMoridekayi owakhuluma kahle ngenkosi, umi endlini kaHamani.” Inkosi yasisithi: Mphanyekeni kuso. Basebemphanyeka uHamani emthini ayewulungisele uMoridekayi. Lwase luphela ulaka lwenkosi.
