5 Ke kaloku wathi: “Ukuba kubonakala kulungile kukumkani, yaye ukuba ndifumene ubabalo+ phambi kwakhe kwaye le nto ifanelekile phambi kukakumkani kwaye ndilungile emehlweni akhe, makubhalwe kurhoxiswe amaxwebhu abhaliweyo,+ icebo likaHaman unyana kaHamedata umAgagi,+ lawo wawabhalayo ukuba kutshatyalaliswe amaYuda+ akuwo onke amaphondo kakumkani.+

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,

13 Ngako oko uEstere wathi: “Ukuba kubonakala kulungile kukumkani,+ mawanikwe amaYuda aseShushan nangomso ukuba enze ngokuvumelana nomthetho wale mini;+ yaye oonyana bakaHaman abalishumi mabaxhonywe esibondeni.”+
