5 1Ku musi ugira gatatu, Esiteri yambaye impuzu z’ubwami, ahagarara mu kibuga co hagati c’ingoro, arorana n’inzu y’umwami. Umwami yari yicaye ku ntebe yiwe y’ubwami muri iyo nzu, arorana n’irembo ry’ingoro. 2Umwami abonye umwamikazi Esiteri ahagaze mu kibuga, Esiteri aba uwo akunze, umwami aramuramvurira inkoni y’ubwami ya zahabu yari afashe mu kuboko. Esiteri aregera, akora ku mpera yayo.
3Umwami aramubaza ati: “Ni iki kikugoye, mwamikazi Esiteri? Usaba iki? Naho woba usaba igice c’ubwami, urahabwa.”
4Esiteri aravuga ati: “Umwami niyaba abishimye, we na Hamani nibaze uyu musi ku birori ncateguye.”
5Umwami avuga ati: “Nimwihutishe Hamani kugira ngo hakorwe ivyo Esiteri asavye.” Nuko umwami na Hamani baza ku birori Esiteri yari yateguye.
6Bariko banywa umuvinyu, umwami aramubaza ati: “Usaba iki, Esiteri? Uraronka ico usaba. Kandi ugomba iki? Naho woba ugomba igice c’ubwami, urakironka.”
7Esiteri aramwishura ati: “Ico nsaba n’ico ngomba ni iki: 8Nimba naronse ingabirano imbere y’umwami, kandi akaba yishimiye kunyemerera ico nsaba no kunshikiriza ico ngomba, umwami na Hamani nibaze ku birori ndabategurira. Ejo nzokora nk’uko umwami avuze.”

Mugabo abonye Morudekayi ari ku irembo ry’umwami atahagurutse canke ngo amutinye, Hamani aragira uburake bwinshi kuri Morudekayi. 10Yamara rero, Hamani yihangana, agenda i muhira.
