Esteri 7
1Inkosi noHamani base befika ukudla no-Esteri inkosikazi.
2Inkosi yasisithi kuEsta ngosuku lwesibili edilini lewayini: Uyini umthandazo wakho, ndlovukazi Esta? Futhi siyini isicelo sakho? uyakufezwa kuze kube yingxenye yombuso.
3Indlovukazi u-Esteri yasiphendula yathi: “Uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho, nkosi, futhi uma kukuhle enkosini, mangiphiwe ukuphila kwami ngokucela kwami nakubantu bami ngokucela kwami.
4Ngokuba sithengisiwe, mina nabantu bami, ukuba sibhujiswe, sibulawe, sibhubhe. Kodwa uma sithengiswa sibe yizigqila nezigqilakazi, ngangithula ulimi lwami, nakuba isitha sasingenakubuyisela umonakalo wenkosi.
5Inkosi u-Ahashiveroshi yasiphendula yathi ku-Esteri indlovukazi: “Ngubani lowo, futhi uphi lowo ozidlayo enhliziyweni yakhe ukwenza lokhu na?
6U-Esteri wathi: “Isitha nesitha nguHamani lo omubi.” Khona-ke uHamani wesaba inkosi nendlovukazi.
7Inkosi 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.
8Inkosi 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.
9UHaribona, 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.
10Basebemphanyeka uHamani emthini ayewulungisele uMoridekayi. Lwase luphela ulaka lwenkosi.
