11 Buzuba abuzuba Moodekai wakali kulyeenzyeezya mulubuwa lwaŋanda yabamakaintu kuti abone mbwaakali kupona Esita alimwi ambwaakali kubambwa.
12 Musimbi umwi aumwi wakali kupegwa ciindi cakunjila ku Mwami Ahasuera musyule lyakubambwa mbobeelede kubambwa bamakaintu kwamyezi iili 12, nkaambo oobu mbobulamfwu bwaciindi icakali kutolwa kunanika basimbi mafwuta aakubabotya*–myezi iili cisambomwe bakali kunanikwa mafwuta aamuro+ eelyo myezi iimbi iili cisambomwe bakali kunanikwa mafwuta aamabbona+ amafwuta aaindene-indene aakubabotya.*
13 Mpoonya casika ciindi cakuti musimbi umwi aumwi aunke kumwami, alimwi kufwumbwa ncaalomba wakali kupegwa kuti aunke acalo kuŋanda yamwami kuzwa kuŋanda yabamakaintu.
14 Mangolezya wakali kunjila eelyo mafwumofwumo wakali kupiluka kuŋanda yabamakaintu yabili iyakali kulanganizyigwa a Syasyagazi muzibe wamwami+ iwakali kulanganya bamwanakasuwa. Tanaakali kunjila alimwi kumwami ccita kuti mwami wamukkomanina akumwiita azina lyakwe.+
15 Lino nicakasika ciindi cakuti Esita mwana wa Abihaili mwanookwabo abausyi Moodekai, ooyo ngwaakali kulela mbuli mwanaakwe+ kuti anjile kumwami, tanaakalomba cili coonse ccita buyo ncaakamwaambila Hegai muzibe wamwami iwakali kulanganya bamakaintu. (Lino Esita bakali kumuyanda boonse ibakali kumubona.)
16 Mpoonya Esita wakatolwa ku Mwami Ahasuera kuŋanda yakwe yabwami mumwezi wa 10, nkokuti mwezi wa Tebeta,* mumwaka waciloba+ wabulelo bwakwe.
