Chaputala 6.

Usiku umenewo, tulo tinamuthawa mfumu; nalamula kuti abweretse buku la mbiri—mbiri za nthawi—ndi kumuwerengera. Zinapezeka zitalembedwa kuti Mordekai anafotokoza za Bigitana ndi Teresi, adindo awiri a mfumu amene amalondera pakhomo, amene anafuna kupha mfumu Ahasiwero. Mfumu inafunsa, “Kodi Mordekai analandira ulemu ndi ukulu wanji chifukwa cha ichi?” Atumiki ake anayankha, “Palibe chomwe anamchitira.”

“Kodi ndani ali pabwalo?” mfumu inafunsa. Hamani nʼkuti atalowa mu bwalo lakunja la nyumba yaufumu kudzapempha mfumu kuti impachike Mordekai pa mtanda umene anakonza.

Atumiki a mfumu anati kwa iye, “Hamani ndiye wayima pabwalo.” Mfumu inati, “Mulowetseni.”

Hamani nalowa. Mfumu inafunsa, “Kodi achite chiyani munthu amene mfumu ikondwera naye kumulemekeza?” Hamani anaganiza mu mtima mwake, “Kodi mfumu ingakondwere kumulemekeza ndani woposa ine?”

Choncho Hamani anati kwa mfumu, “Munthu amene mfumu ikondwera naye kumulemekeza, abweretse mkanjo waufumu umene mfumu yavala, ndi kavalo amene mfumu yakwera, ndi chipewa chaufumu cha pamutu pake. Mperekeni mkanjo ndi kavalo kwa mmodzi wa akuluakulu olemekezeka a mfumu. Amveke munthu amene mfumu ikondwera naye kumulemekeza, namuyendetse pa kavalo mʼmisewu ya mzinda, nafuwule patsogolo pake, ‘Ndi momwemo achitidwira munthu amene mfumu ikondwera naye kumulemekeza!’”

Mfumu inati kwa Hamani, “Fulumira, tenga mkanjo ndi kavalo monga wanenera, numchitire momwemo Mordekai Myuda amene wakhala pa chipata cha mfumu. Usasiye chilichonse cha zomwe wanena.”

Hamani anatenga mkanjo ndi kavalo, namveka Mordekai, namuyendetsa pa kavalo mʼmisewu ya mzinda, akufuwula patsogolo pake, “Ndi momwemo achitidwira munthu amene mfumu ikondwera naye kumulemekeza.”

Zitatha izi Mordekai anabwerera ku chipata cha mfumu, koma Hamani anathamangira kwawo, akulira, ndi mutu wake utaphimbidwa. Hamani anafotokozera mkazi wake Zeresi ndi abwenzi ake onse zonse zimene zinamuchitikira. Alangizi ake ndi mkazi wake Zeresi anati kwa iye, “Popeza Mordekai, amene wayamba kale kugwa pamaso pake, ndi Myuda, sungathe kumgonjetsa—udzagwadi pamaso pake.” Pamene akanali kulankhula naye, adindo a mfumu anafika, namufulumizitsa Hamani kuti apite ku phwando limene Estere anakonza.
