5 Wathi: “Uma kubonakala kukuhle enkosini, futhi uma ngitholé umusa+ phambi kwayo futhi le nto ifanelekile phambi kwenkosi nami ngimuhle emehlweni ayo, makulotshwe ukuba kuchithwe izincwadi ezilotshiwe,+ icebo likaHamani indodana kaHamedatha umAgagi,+ azilobela ukuba kubhujiswe amaJuda+ akuzo zonke izifunda zombuso wenkosi.+

10 Wayeseloba egameni leNkosi+ u-Ahashiveroshi futhi waphawula+ ngendandatho yenkosi enophawu+ futhi wathumela izincwadi ezilotshiwe ngesandla sezithunywa zeposi ezigibela amahhashi,+ ezigibela amahhashi eposi asetshenziswa enkonzweni yasebukhosini, amathole amaduna azalwa amahhashi ayizinsikazi anejubane,

13 Ngalokho u-Esteri wathi: “Uma kubonakala kukuhle enkosini,+ mawavunyelwe nakusasa futhi amaJuda aseShushani ukuba enze ngokomthetho wanamuhla;+ amadodana ayishumi kaHamani mawalengiswe esigxotsheni.”+
