1Nuko umwami na Hamani baja gusangira n’umwamikazi Esiteri,2maze ku musi ugira kabiri, bariko baranywa umuvinyu, umwami yongera kubaza ati: “Mwamikazi Esiteri, usaba iki? Ico usaba uragihabwa. Vuga ico usaba, naho coba igice c’ubwami, uragihabwa.”3Maze umwamikazi Esiteri aramwishura ati: “Ninaba ngiriwe ubuntu imbere yawe, mwami, kandi nivyaba biguhimbaye, ukingire ubuzima bwanje, kandi wongere ukize n’ubwoko bwacu. Ico ni co nsaba.4Kuko jewe n’ubwoko bwacu twaragurishijwe ngo turandurwe kandi ngo duherengetezwe. Iyo tuba twagurishijwe ngo tube abagurano n’abaguranokazi, nari guhora, kuko bitari kuba bikenewe ko ngora umwami.”5Umwami Ahasuwerusi abaza umwamikazi Esiteri ati: “Ni nde? Uwo muntu ari he yubahutse gukora ikintu nk’ico?”6Esiteri avuga ati: “Uwo mwansi kandi w’umuyobe mubi ni uwu Hamani.”Maze Hamani aca agwa igihumura aho nyene imbere y’umwami n’umwamikazi.7Umwami ava hasi n’uburake bwinshi, ava aho yariko aranywera, asohoka hanze mu rugo rw’ikirimba. Ariko Hamani, abonye ko umwami yamaze gufata ingingo yo kumwica, asigara inyuma ngo yinginge umwamikazi Esiteri amukirize ubugingo.8Umwami agarutse avuye hanze aja aho bariko barazimanirwa, asanga Hamani yikubise hasi ku ntebe Esiteri yari yicayeko.
Umwami yiha akamo ati: “Noneho agomba akorere ibiterasoni umwamikazi mu maso yanje hano mu kirimba?”
Iryo jambo rikiva mu kanwa k’umwami, baca bapfuka Hamani mu maso.9Nuko Haribona, umwe mu nkone zakorera umwami, aca avuga ati: “Hariho igiti c’ingero z’igice c’ukuboko mirongo itanu gihagaze imbere y’inzu kwa Hamani. Yari yagishinze ngo akimanikeko Moridekayi, umwe yavuze ivyo gukiza umwami.”
Umwami aravuga ati: “Nimukimumanikeko!”10Nuko bamanika Hamani kuri ca giti yari yateguriye Moridekayi. Maze uburake bw’umwami burahwama.
