Nuko umwami na Hamani baraza kunywa na Esiteri umwamikazi. Ku musi ugira kabiri, bariko banywa umuvinyu, umwami yongera kumubaza ati: “Icipfuzo cawe ni ikihe, Esiteri umwamikazi? Urahawe co. Ni iki usaba? Naho coba igice c’ubwami, uragihabwa.”

Esiteri umwamikazi aramwishura ati: “Mwami, nimba ndonse ubutoni mu maso yawe, kandi vyaba vyiza ku mwami, mpa ubuzima bwanje nk’uko ndabisavye, n’abantu banje nk’uko ndabisavye. Twaguzwe, jewe n’abantu banje, kugira dutikizwe, twicwe, duhonywe. Iyo tuba twaguzwe gusa kugira dube abaja n’abaja b’abakenyezi, noba naracereje; kuko ingorane nk’izo zitari zokwiye gutera umwami imvune.”

Maze umwami Ahasuwerusi abwira Esiteri umwamikazi ati: “Ni nde, kandi ari hehe, ubushije ubwo butinyutsi?”

Esiteri aravuga ati: “Umwansi n’umubisha, ni uyu Hamani w’umubi!” Maze Hamani atinya cane imbere y’umwami n’umwamikazi.

Umwami agaruka avuye mu murima w’ingoro aja mw’ihema ryari rifungurirwamwo, asanga Hamani yikubise ku butanda Esiteri yari ariho. Umwami aravuga ati: “Mbega azoca anyagira n’umwamikazi mu nzu ndi ndimwo?” Nya majambo akimara kuva mu kanwa kiwe, abasuku bapfuka mu maso ya Hamani. ^a
