8 UHaman wathi kuKumkani uAhaswerosi: “Kukho bantu bathile abachithachithiweyo+ nabahlukileyo abaphakathi kwezizwana kuwo onke amaphondo kummandla wakho;+ yaye imithetho yabo yahlukile kweyabo bonke abanye abantu, nemithetho kakumkani abayenzi,+ yaye akufanelekanga ngokumkani ukuba abayeke.

4 Kuba sithengisiwe,+ mna nabantu bakowethu, ukuba sibhujiswe, sibulawe size sitshatyalaliswe.+ Ke kaloku ukuba besithengiselwe ukuba sibe ngamakhoboka+ nezicakakazi kuphela, ngendiye ndathi cwaka. Kodwa oku kubandezeleka akufanelekanga xa kuza kuba ngumonakalo kukumkani.”
