أَسْتِير 6
| فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ طَارَ نَوْمُ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَأَمَرَ بِأَنْ يُؤْتَى بِسِفْرِ تَذْكَارِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فَقُرِئَتْ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ١ 1 |
During that night, the sleep of the king fled, —and he commanded to bring in the book of remembrance, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.
| فَوُجِدَ مَكْتُوبًا مَا أَخْبَرَ بِهِ مُرْدَخَايُ عَنْ بِغْثَانَا وَتَرَشَ خَصِيَّيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ حَارِسَيِ ٱلْبَابِ، ٱللَّذَيْنِ طَلَبَا أَنْ يَمُدَّا أَيْدِيَهُمَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ. | ٢ 2 |
And it was found written, how that Mordecai had told concerning Bigthana and Teresh, the two eunuchs of the king guarding the threshold, —who had sought to thrust forth a hand upon King Ahasuerus.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَيَّةُ كَرَامَةٍ وَعَظَمَةٍ عُمِلَتْ لِمُرْدَخَايَ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا؟» فَقَالَ غِلْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَهُ: «لَمْ يُعْمَلْ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ». | ٣ 3 |
Then said the king, What honour and dignity hath been done unto Mordecai, for this? Then said the king’s young men, who were ministering unto him, Nothing hath been done for him.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَنْ في ٱلدَّارِ؟» وَكَانَ هَامَانُ قَدْ دَخَلَ دَارَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةَ لِكَيْ يَقُولَ لِلْمَلِكِ أَنْ يُصْلَبَ مُرْدَخَايُ عَلَى ٱلْخَشَبَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعَدَّهَا لَهُ. | ٤ 4 |
Then said the king, Who is in the court? Now, Haman, had come into the outer court of the kings house, to speak unto the king, to hang Mordecai, upon the gallows which he had prepared for him.
| فَقَالَ غِلْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا هَامَانُ وَاقِفٌ فِي ٱلدَّارِ». فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «لِيَدْخُلْ». | ٥ 5 |
So the king’s young men said unto him, Lo! Haman, standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
| وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ هَامَانُ قَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَاذَا يُعْمَلُ لِرَجُلٍ يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ؟» فَقَالَ هَامَانُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «مَنْ يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي؟» | ٦ 6 |
So Haman came in, and the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man in whose honour, the king delighteth? Then said Haman, in his own heart, Unto whom will the king delight to do honour, more than unto me?
| فَقَالَ هَامَانُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ | ٧ 7 |
So Haman said unto the king, —As touching the man in whose honour, the king, delighteth,
| يَأْتُونَ بِٱللِّبَاسِ ٱلسُّلْطَانِيِّ ٱلَّذِي يَلْبَسُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَبِالْفَرَسِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْكَبُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَبِتَاجِ ٱلْمُلْكِ ٱلَّذِي يُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، | ٨ 8 |
let them bring in royal apparel wherewith the king hath clothed himself, —and the horse whereon the king hath ridden, and the royal crown which hath been set upon his own head;
| وَيُدْفَعُ ٱللِّبَاسُ وَٱلْفَرَسُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْأَشْرَافِ، وَيُلْبِسُونَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي سُرَّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ وَيُرَكِّبُونَهُ عَلَى ٱلْفَرَسِ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَيُنَادُونَ قُدَّامَهُ: هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ». | ٩ 9 |
and let the apparel and the horse be delivered unto the hand of one of the king’s rulers, one of the nobles, and so let them array the man, in whose honour, the king, delighteth, —and cause him to ride upon the horse through the broadway of the city, and let them proclaim before him, Thus and thus, shall it be done unto the man in whose honour, the king, delighteth!
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِهَامَانَ: «أَسْرِعْ وَخُذِ ٱللِّبَاسَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ، وَٱفْعَلْ هَكَذَا لِمُرْدَخَايَ ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ ٱلْجَالِسِ فِي بَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. لَا يَسْقُطْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا قُلْتَهُ». | ١٠ 10 |
Then said the king unto Haman, Haste, take the apparel and the horse, just as thou hast said, and do even so unto Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in the kings gate, —do not let fail a thing, of all which thou hast spoken!
| فَأَخَذَ هَامَانُ ٱللِّبَاسَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ وَأَلْبَسَ مُرْدَخَايَ وَأَرْكَبَهُ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَنَادَى قُدَّامَهُ: «هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ». | ١١ 11 |
So Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, —and caused him to ride through the broadway of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus and thus, shall it be done unto the man in whoso honour, the king, delighteth!
| وَرَجَعَ مُرْدَخَايُ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَأَمَّا هَامَانُ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ نَائِحًا وَمُغَطَّى ٱلرَّأْسِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then Mordecai returned unto the gate of the king, —but, Haman, hurried unto his own house, mourning, and with covered head.
| وَقَصَّ هَامَانُ عَلَى زَرَشَ زَوْجَتِهِ وَجَمِيعِ أَحِبَّائِهِ كُلَّ مَا أَصَابَهُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ حُكَمَاؤُهُ وَزَرَشُ زَوْجَتُهُ: «إِذَا كَانَ مُرْدَخَايُ ٱلَّذِي ٱبْتَدَأْتَ تَسْقُطُ قُدَّامَهُ مِنْ نَسْلِ ٱلْيَهُودِ، فَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ، بَلْ تَسْقُطُ قُدَّامَهُ سُقُوطًا». | ١٣ 13 |
And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife, and unto all his friends, everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men, and Zeresh his wife, unto him, If, of the seed of the Jews, is Mordecai before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt, utterly fall, before him.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يُكَلِّمُونَهُ وَصَلَ خِصْيَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَسْرَعُوا لِلْإِتْيَانِ بِهَامَانَ إِلَى ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَتْهَا أَسْتِيرُ. | ١٤ 14 |
While yet they were speaking with him, the eunuchs of the king, had come, —and they hastened to bring Haman, unto the banquet which Esther had prepared.
