3 Neryo abaghombe b’omwami ababya omo lukyo lw’omwami, mubabulya Mordekayi bati: “Busanaki sighulikwama ekihano ky’omwami?”
4 Ibakamubulaya obuli kiro, aliwe Mordekayi isyalyowabo. Neryo mubakania na Hamani erilebya ebyo Mordekayi akakola nga binemwendilekererwa, kusangwa Mordekayi abya iniabiribwirabo ngoko ni Muyahudi.
5 Omughulu Hamani alangira ngoko Mordekayi akaghana erimunamira n’erimukenga, mwahitana kutsibu.
6 Aliwe Hamani mwatatsemera omwatsi w’eriita* Mordekayi iyuwene, kusangwa babya ibabirimubwira oko kihanda kya Mordekayi. Neryo Hamani mwasondekania eriita Abayahudi bosi ababya omo butabali bwosi bwa Ahasuero, ekihanda kyosi kya Mordekayi.
7 Oko mwisi w’erimbere, ni bugha ambu, omwisi we Nisani,* oko mwaka we 12 w’Omwami Ahasuero, mubaghusa Epuri (ni bugha ambu, Obukanga) embere sya Hamani batoke eriminya ekiro n’omwisi. Neryo Epuri muyahamba omwisi we 12, ni bugha ambu, Adari.*
8 Neryo Hamani mwabwira Omwami Ahasuero ati: “Hane ekihanda kilebe ekipanzikene n’ekitsatsangire omo bihanda by’omo syongabiro syosi sy’omo butabali bwaghu. Emighambo y’ekihanda ekyo siyiri ng’emighambo y’ebindi bihanda byosi; kandi sibalikenga emighambo y’omwami, neryo eribaleka sikyendiletera omwami y’endundi yosi-yosi.
9 Kyamabitsemesya omwami, hahandikawe omughambo owakabugha ati bahwerekereribawe. Ngendiha abakulu b’esyotalanta* 10 000 sy’efeza* sy’erihira omo kighona ky’obwami.*
10 Neryo omwami mwalusya embuka yiwe eyabyako akashe eyo abya ambite oko byala biwe, amahayo Hamani mughala wa Hamedata Omuagagi, oyo wabya nzighu y’Abayahudi.
11 Omwami mwabwira Hamani ati: “Wamahabwa efeza* n’abandu, ukolesaye abandu ngoko wanzire.”
12 Neryo ekiro kye 13 eky’omwisi w’erimbere, abahandiki b’omwami mubabirikirwa. Mubahandika ebyosi ebyo Hamani ahamula. Mubahandikirabyo esyoseghu-seghu sy’omwami, abaguvernere ababya bakatabala oko syongabiro,* n’abanyamwami b’ebihanda mbiriri-mbiriri. Mubahandikira obuli ngabiro* omo mihandikire yayo, n’obuli kihanda omo mubughe wakyo. Byahandikawa omo rina ry’Omwami Ahasuero, n’erihirwako ekikumo omo mbuka yiwe eyiriko akashe.
13 Abakwenda bo batwala esyobaruha esyo omo syongabiro* syosi sy’omwami. Esyobaruha esyo syabya sibughire siti, Abayahudi bosi bahwerekereribawe, bitawe, n’eriheribwa, abalere n’abakulu, abana n’abakali oko kiro kighuma, ekiro kye 13 ky’omwisi we 12, ni bugha ambu omwisi we Adari, n’erihunga ebindu byabo byosi.
14 Ekopi y’ebaruha eyo yabya itolere iyatumwa omo buli ngabiro,* eribya mughambo, n’ebirimo ibyabwirwa ebihanda byosi bitoke eriyiteghekania busana n’ekiro ekyo.
