Context
1Basi mfalme na Hamani wakaenda kula chakula pamoja na Malkia Esta. 2Walipokuwa wakinywa mvinyo katika siku ya pili, mfalme akauliza tena, “Malkia Esta, ni nini haja yako? Utapewa. Ombi lako ni nini? Hata nusu ya ufalme, utapewa.” 3Kisha Malkia Esta akajibu, “Kama nimepata kibali kwako, ee mfalme, tena kama inapendeza utukufu wako, nijalie maisha yangu, hii ndiyo haja yangu. Pia uokoe watu wangu, hili ndilo ombi langu. 4Kwa kuwa mimi na watu wangu tumeuzwa kwa kuangamizwa, kuchinjwa na kuharibiwa. Kama tungalikuwa tumeuzwa tu kuwa watumwa wa kiume na wa kike, ningalinyamaza kimya, kwa sababu shida kama hii isingalitosha kumsumbua mfalme.” 5Mfalme Ahasuero akamuuliza Malkia Esta, “Ni nani huyu? Yuko wapi mtu huyu aliyethubutu kufanya jambo kama hili?”
