13 Zoonadi anthu olungama adzatamanda dzina lanu,
ndipo anthu owongoka mtima adzakhala pamaso panu.

Ndipo adziwa ndani mwina unalowa ufumu chifukwa cha nthawi ngati imeneyi?”

Musadye kapena kumwa kwa masiku atatu, usiku ndi usana. Ine ndi anamwali anga onditumikira tidzasala chakudya monga inu. Izi zikachitika, ine ndidzapita kwa mfumu, ngakhale kutero ndikutsutsana ndi lamulo. Ndipo ngati nʼkufa ndife ndithu.”
17 Choncho Mordekai anapita ndi kuchita monga Estere anamupemphera.
