Mwami, mu yubwo bushigi, atakatoola iro. Anadeta kwo batee leeta ikitaabo kyoꞌbukengeeze bwa íbikalenga* mu poroveesi zaage, kinasomwe imbere lyage. 2-3 Mu yikyo kitaabo, mwâli yandisirwi ngiisi kwaꞌbagoma bakagira igambi lyoꞌkuyita mwami Serikisi. Yiryo igambi, likagirwa naꞌbatungule babiri, Bigitaani na Tereeshi. Bâli riiri balaazi beꞌnyiivi zaꞌkajumiro. Kwokwo, mwami anabuuza: «Yiri igambi, uyo Moredekaayi ye katuhwehuka lyo. Aaho! Bikagi byo tukamúgirira?» Abakozi baage, ti: «Ndaahyo íhiteerwa ku shinda hyo akagirirwa.»
Mwami anashubi buuza: «Mu lubuga, ka ndaaye mundu úli mwo?» Ku kyekyo kyanya Hamaani anaba akola mu lubuga lwaꞌkajumiro. Âli mali gwanwa alingaania ikimaniko kyoꞌkumanika kwo Moredekaayi, anâli yijiri hiꞌgulu lyoꞌkuhuuna mwami ubuhanguule.
Kwokwo, abakozi banamúshuvya: «Hamaani ye yimaaziri mu lubuga.» Mwami, ti: «Ayegerezibwe.» Uyo Hamaani, mbu ayingirage úmuli mwami, mwami anamúbuuza: «Ewe! Umundu ye mwami aloziizi ukusimbahiisa, angamúgirira biki?» Hamaani anayibuuza mu mutima gwage: «Aaho! Nyandagi ye mwami aloziizi ukusimbahiisa, átali nie?»
Kyanatuma uyo Hamaani agamúshuvya kwokuno: «E waliha, umundu ye mwami aloziizi ukusimbahiisa, bikwiriiri abakozi ba mwami bamúleetere ikanju lya mwami yenyene. Bamúleetere neꞌfwarasi yo mwami keera akashonera kwo. Banamúyambike noꞌlushembe. Mu bahanuuzi baawe, muguma úyemiirwi, anayambike uyo mundu iyo mirondo yeꞌkyami, anamúshoneze ku fwarasi yawe, anagende agweti agamúlengana-lengana mu kaaya, iri anadeta: “Umundu ye mwami aloziizi ukusimbahiisa, kwoku kwo ali mu múgirira.”»
10 Lyeryo, ulya Hamaani, mwami anayami múbwira kwokuno: «Vwarukaga, uyabiire yibi byambalwa, neꞌyi fwarasi, ubitwalire uliira Muyahudi Moredekaayi. Ye mu bwatala ku mulyango gwaꞌkajumiro. Mu byoshi byo wadeta, hatagire kiri niꞌgambo lyo ugaasiga.»
11 Ulya Hamaani anayabiira ikanju, kuguma neꞌfwarasi, anagenda imunda Moredekaayi, anamúyambika lyo, anamúshoneza ku fwarasi, anagenda agweti agamúlengana-lengana mu kaaya, iri anakizi deta: «Umundu ye mwami aloziizi ukusimbahiisa, kwoku kwo ali mu múgirira.»
12 Ha nyuma, Moredekaayi anashubi galukira ha mulyango gwaꞌkajumiro. Si Hamaani yehe, anakwabadukira imwage mu mwizingeerwe, akoli yibwisiri itwe, hiꞌgulu lyeꞌshoni.
13 Ulya Hamaani, mbu ahikage mu mwage, anayami ganuulira mukaage Zereeshi, kiri naꞌbiira baage, ngiisi íbyamúkoleka kwo. Na wa mukaage, ti: «Yoho wee! Ulya Moredekaayi, bwo ali wa mu mulala gwaꞌBayahudi, utagamúhasha. Si ulwawe lwahika!»
14 Iri bakaba baki gweti bagaganuula kwokwo, mwami anatuma abatungule, kwo bagendi yabiira Hamaani, gira bagendage imwa Hesiteeri ku lusiku lukulu.
