11 Kuri uwo musi igitigiri c’abishwe ku kirimba Shushani gishika imbere y’umwami.

12 Maze umwami abwira Esiteri umwamikazi+ ati: “Ku kirimba Shushani+ Abayuda bishe, kandi baranduye abagabo amajana atanu na ba bahungu cumi ba Hamani. Mu ntara z’ubutware+ z’umwami zisigaye, bakoze iki+? Ugomba iki? Uragihabwa+. Ikindi usaba ni igiki+?
