Noija kukiheebwa. N'enki eki orikwenda? Eki oraashabe kyona, n'obu kiraabe kiri ekicweka ky'obugabe bwangye, nikiija kuhikiirizibwa.3Omwigarire Esteeri yaagarukamu ati: Nyakusinga omugabe, ku ndaabe ndi ow'okugirirwa embabazi omu maisho gaawe, kandi ku oraabe nookisiima, ninkushaba amagara gangye, kandi ninkweshengyereza ahabwa beene waitu;4ahabw'okuba nyowe n'eihanga ryaitu, tuguzirwe ngu twitwe, tucwekyerezibwe, tumarweho.

Hamani yaatetemera omu maisho g'omugabe n'omwigarire.7Ahonaaho omugabe yaimuka, yaaruga aha bugyenyi asambisiirwe, yaashohora, yaaza omu musiri gw'ekikaari; kwonka Hamani yaimuka kushaba omwigarire ngu ataitwa; ahabw'okuba akareeba ku omugabe amaririire kumukora kubi.8Bwanyima omugabe yaagaruka naaruga omu musiri gw'ekikaari, yaataaha omu kishengye omu baabaire nibanywera viinyo, yaashanga Hamani ajuumaire aha kitabo ahu Esteeri yaabaire ari; omugabe yaagira ati: Kandi yaaza kuhambira omwigarire omu maisho gangye omu nju yangye? Ebigambo ebyo ku byarugire biti omu kanwa k'omugabe, abantu baashweka Hamani ahamaisho.9Bwanyima Harabona, omwe aha bakonwa abaabaire nibaheereza omugabe, yaagira ati: Manya, omu kibuga kya Hamani habyairwemu ekiti kiraingwa kya mikono makumi ataano, eki Hamani ateekateekire kuhanikaho Morodekai, owaagambire ekigambo ky'okukiza omugabe.10Omugabe nikwo kuragiira ati: Mube nikyo mwamuhanikaho. Batyo baahanika Hamani aha kiti eki yaabaire ateekateekyeire Morodekai. Okuruga aho ekiniga ky'omugabe kyaikaikana.Bible Society of Uganda
