6 Ekiro ekyo omwami mwatayato.* Neryo mwabugha ati balete ekitabu ky’emyatsi y’emighulu; neryo mubasomerakyo omwami.
2 Mubabana mukyo ahahandikire hati Mordekayi mwatula omwatsi owalebirye Bigtani na Teresi, abakulu babiri b’omo kibugha ky’omwami, abateya b’esyongyo, abaya embita y’eribughaho* Omwami Ahasuero.
3 Omwami mwabulya ati: “Mordekayi mwahabwa olukengerwa lwahi, kandi mwahembwa ati busana n’eki?” Abaghombe b’omwami mubasubirya bati: “Sihali ekyo abirikolerwa.”
4 Enyuma sy’aho, omwami mwabulya ati: “Oyuli omo kibugha nindi?” Hamani abya iniamabihika omo kibugha ky’ehihya ky’enyumba y’omwami* erisyabwira omwami ati Mordekayi ahanikawe oko muti ogho abya iniabiriteghekania busana naye.
5 Abaghombe b’omwami mubamusubirya bati: “Hamani yo wimene omo kibugha.” Neryo omwami mwabugha ati: “Mumubwire muti ingire.”
6 Hamani abere ingira, omwami mwamubulya ati: “Omundu oyo omwami anzire eriha olukengerwa, litolere iniakolerwaki?” Hamani mwayibwira omo mutima wiwe ati: “Kwe hanganabya oghundi mundu oyo omwami anzire erihamya ate in’ingye?”
7 Neryo Hamani mwasubirya omwami ati: “Busana n’omundu oyo omwami anzire erihamya,
8 bamuletere esyongyimba sy’obwami esyo omwami akambala, n’esabayiri eyo omwami akaghendako kandi bahire esapu y’obwami oko mutwe w’esabayiri eyo.
9 Neryo esyongyimba esyo n’esabayiri, babiwataye omughuma w’oko banyamwami b’omwami; nabo bakendyambalyasyo omundu oyo omwami anzire erihamya. Bakendimulenderya inianikere oko sabayiri omo kibugha ky’omuyi eky’abandu bosi. Bakendighenda bakabirikira embere siwe bati: ‘Omundu oyo mwami anzire erihamya ko akakolerawa atya.’”
10 Omwami mwalw’iniabwira Hamani ati: “Wanguhe, wimaye esyongyimba n’esabayiri. Ebyo wamabugha ukolerebyo Mordekayi Omuyahudi oyo wikere omo lukyo lw’omwami. Ebyo wamabugha isiwasighako n’ekighuma.”
11 Neryo Hamani mwimya esyongyimba n’esabayiri. Mwambalya Mordekayi, n’erimulenderya oko sabayiri omo kibugha ky’omuyi inianemubirikira embere siwe ati: “Omundu oyo omwami anzire erihamya ko akakolerawa atya.”
12 Enyuma sy’aho, Mordekayi mwasuba oko lukyo lw’omwami. Nikwa Hamani mwanguha erisuba ewiwe, inianemulira, kandi inianaswikire omutwe wiwe.
13 Hamani abere abikanirya mukali wiwe ye Zeresi n’abira biwe bosi b’ebyosi ebyamuhikireko, abahani biwe n’omukali wiwe ye Zeresi mubamubwira bati: “Mordekayi oyo wamabitsuka eriwa embere siwe amabya ini w’ekihanda ky’Abayahudi,* siwendimukinda. Oko kwenene ukendiwa embere siwe.”
14 Ibakinakanaya naye, abakulu b’omo kibugha ky’omwami mubahika n’erilw’ibimya Hamani n’erimutwala oko fete eyo Esteri alyateghekanaya.
