Hiye farasi ni akale akavwikpwa chirauni cha chifalume. 9 Hizo nguwo na farasi vichirehwa navihewe chilongozi mmwenga wa chifalume. Amuhale hiye mutu ambaye mfalume akamendza kumtuza, amvwike hizo nguwo na ampandize dzulu ya hiye farasi. Achimala hivyo amzunguluse himo mudzini kuno anakota kululu na kuamba, ‘Hivi ndivyo ahenderwavyo mutu ambaye mfalume akamendza kumtuza.’ ” 10 Mfalume achimuamba Hamani, “Haya upesi kahale hizo nguwo na hiye farasi, ukamuhendere Modekai yuya Myahudi asagalaye kpwenye ryango ra nyumba ya mfalume, vyosi uchivyoamba, phasiphunguke hata neno mwenga.” 11 Phahi Hamani achendahala nguwo na farasi achedzamvwika Modekai, halafu achimpandiza dzulu ya hiye farasi achimzungulusa mo mudzini kuno anakota kululu na kuamba, “Hivi ndivyo ahenderwavyo mutu ambaye mfalume analonda kumtuza.” 12 Phahi Hamani wamzungulusa Modekai hata achimala.
