12 Kwandula ke kwabizwa oonobhala bakakumkani+ ngenyanga yokuqala ngomhla wayo weshumi elinesithathu, kwaza kwabhalwa+ ngokuvumelana nako konke oko uHaman wayekuyalele amabamba kakumkani neerhuluneli ezazilawula kumaphondo ahlukahlukeneyo,+ neenkosana zezizwana ezahlukahlukeneyo, zephondo ngalinye, ngesimbo salo sokubhala,+ nesizwana ngasinye ngolwimi lwaso; kwabhalwa kwaza kwatywinwa ngomsesane wokutywina+ kakumkani egameni+ likaKumkani uAhaswerosi.

10 Wabhala ngegama likaKumkani+ uAhaswerosi waza watywina+ ngomsesane wokutywina+ kakumkani yaye amaxwebhu abhaliweyo wawathumela ngesandla sabathwali besigidimi bekhwele emahasheni,+ amahashe athwala isigidimi asetyenziswa kwinkonzo yasebukhosini, amankonyana eemazi zamahashe ezinamendu,

8 Ngoko ke, kumkani, wubhale lo mmiselo uze uwutyobele,+ ukuze ungabi nakutshintshwa, ngokomthetho wamaMedi namaPersi,+ ongatshitshiswayo.”+
