13 Omukwaniilwa okwa li e na omukalo gwokupula omayele kombinga yompango nuuyuuki, onkee okwi ithanitha aagandjindunge ye, mboka taa tseya shoka shi na okuningwa. 14 Mongundu yaagandjindunge yopothingo omwa li Karshena, Shetar, Admata, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena naMemukan — omalenga gaheyali gaPersia naMedia ngoka ga li komeho gaagehe moshilongo. 15 Omukwaniilwa okwe ga pula a ti: “Pampango otu na okuninga ngiini nomunyekadhi Vashti, oshoka ina vulika kelombwelo lyomukwaniilwa Kserkses ndyoka omalenga ge ge mu faalele?”
16 Nena Memukan okwa lombwele omukwaniilwa nomalenga ge a ti: “Omunyekadhi Vashti ina yona ashike komukwaniilwa, ihe okomalenga ge agehe wo nokomulumentu kehe moshilongo ashihe! 17 Omukulukadhi kehe moshilongo ashihe shampa tuu a kundana shoka omunyekadhi a ningi, ota ka dhina omulumentu gwe. Otaa ka tya: ‘Omukwaniilwa Kserkses okwa lombwele omunyekadhi Vashti e ye kuye, ihe okwa tindi.’ 18 Nokuli nena, manga etango inaali ningina, aakulukadhi yomalenga gaPersia naMedia otaa ka uva, nkene omunyekadhi a ningi, e taye ke shi hokololela aalumentu yawo. Aakulukadhi ayehe otaa ka dhina aalumentu yawo, naasamane otaa ka geela aakiintu yawo. 19 Nkeyama, ngele tashi ku opalele, gandja eutho lyopakwaniilwa kutya Vashti ke na mpoka na holoka we koshipala shomukwaniilwa. Eutho ndika nali nyolwe moompango dhokwaalunduluka dhaPersia naMedia.
