أسْتِير 6
| فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَرِقَ الْمَلِكُ، فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِلَيْهِ بِكِتَابِ تَاريِخِ أَيَّامِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ، فَقُرِئَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ، | ١ 1 |
On that night the king was unable to sleep, so he gave orders to bring the books that recorded memorable deeds, and they were read before the king.
| وَإذَا مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ مَا كَشَفَهُ مُرْدَخَايُ عَنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ بِغْثَانَا وَتَرَشَ خَصِيَّيِ الْمَلِكِ وَحَاجِبَيِ الْبَابِ اللَّذَيْنِ خَطَّطَا لاِغْتِيَالِ الْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ. | ٢ 2 |
It was found recorded how Mordecai had furnished information regarding Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s attendants who guarded the entrance of the palace, who had attempted to kill King Ahasuerus.
| فَسَأَلَ الْمَلِكُ: «أَيَّةُ مُكَافَأَةٍ وَإِكْرَامٍ أَجْزَلْتُهُمَا لِمُرْدَخَايَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ رِجَالُهُ الْقَائِمُونَ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ: «لَمْ يُكَافَأْ بِشَيْءٍ». | ٣ 3 |
“What honor and dignity have been conferred on Mordecai for this?” the king asked. When the king’s pages who waited on him replied “Nothing has been done for him,”
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «مَنْ فِي سَاحَةِ الْقَصْرِ؟» وَكَانَ هَامَانُ قَدْ دَخَلَ سَاحَةَ قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ الْخَارِجِيَّةَ لِيَطْلُبَ مِنَ الْمَلِكِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ بِصَلْبِ مُرْدَخَايَ عَلَى الْخَشَبَةِ الَّتِي أَعَدَّهَا لَهُ. | ٤ 4 |
the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king’s house to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
| فَأَجَابَ رِجَالُ الْمَلِكِ: «هَا هُوَ هَامَانُ وَاقِفٌ فِي السَّاحَةِ». فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «لِيَدْخُلْ». | ٥ 5 |
So the king’s pages said to him, “Haman is standing there, in the court.” The king said, “Let him enter.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا مَثَلَ هَامَانُ أَمَامَهُ سَأَلَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «أَيَّةُ مُكَافَأَةٍ يَمْنَحُهَا الْمَلِكُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَحْرِزُ مَسَرَّتَهُ؟» فَقَالَ هَامَانُ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «مَنْ يَرْغَبُ الْمَلِكُ أَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي؟» | ٦ 6 |
So Haman entered, and the king said to him, “What should be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” Haman said to himself, “Whom besides me could the king wish to honor?”
| ثُمَّ أَجَابَ الْمَلِكَ: «تُخْلَعُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَرْغَبُ الْمَلِكُ فِي إِكْرَامِهِ | ٧ 7 |
So he said to the king, “For the man whom the king wishes to honor
| الثِّيَابُ الْمَلَكِيَّةُ الَّتِي يَرْتَدِيهَا الْمَلِكُ، وَيُؤْتَى بِالْفَرَسِ الَّذِي يَرْكَبُهُ الْمَلِكُ، وَالتَّاجِ الَّذِي يَضَعُهُ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، | ٨ 8 |
let a royal garment be brought, which the king has worn, and the horse on which the king has ridden and on whose head a royal diadem has been placed.
| وَلْيُعْهَدْ بِها جَمِيعِهَا إِلَى أَحَدِ أَشْرَافِ أُمَرَاءِ الْمَلِكِ فَيُلْبِسَهَا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ وَيُرْكِبَهُ عَلَى فَرَسِ الْمَلِكِ وَيَقُودَ مَوْكِبَهُ فِي جَمِيعِ أَنْحَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ يَهْتِفُ:’هَكَذَا يُكَافَأُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَرْغَبُ الْمَلِكُ فِي إِكْرَامِهِ‘». | ٩ 9 |
Then let the garment and the horse be placed in charge of one of the king’s noble officials. Let him clothe the man whom the king wishes to honor and let him lead that man on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king wishes to honor.’”
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِهَامَانَ: «حَسَناً، أَسْرِعْ وَخُذْ هَذِهِ الثِّيَابَ الْمَلَكِيَّةَ وَفَرَسِي وَافْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا اقْتَرَحْتَهُ لِمُرْدَخَايَ الْيَهُودِيِّ حَاجِبِ الْمَلِكِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَغْفَلَ شَيْئاً». | ١٠ 10 |
Then the king said to Haman, “Make haste and take the garment and the horse, as you have said, and do this to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in the king’s gate. Omit nothing of all you have said.”
| فَأَخَذَ هَامَانُ الثِّيَابَ الْمَلَكِيَّةَ وَأَلْبَسَهَا لِمُرْدَخَايَ وَأَرْكَبَهُ عَلَى فَرَسِ الْمَلِكِ، وَقَادَ مَوْكِبَهُ عَبْرَ شَوَارِعِ الْمَدِينَةِ هَاتِفاً: «هَكَذَا يُكَافِئُونَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي يَرْغَبُ الْمَلِكُ فِي إكْرَامِهِ». | ١١ 11 |
So Haman took the garment and the horse and clothed Mordecai, and made him ride through the city square and proclaimed before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king wishes to honor.”
| ثُمَّ عَادَ مُرْدَخَايُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ. أَمَّا هَامَانُ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ يَجُرُّ وَرَاءَهُ أَذْيَالَ الْخِزْيِ | ١٢ 12 |
Mordecai returned to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning, with his head covered.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَرَدَ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ زَرَشَ وَعَلَى الْمُقَرَّبِينَ إِلَيْهِ مَا حَدَثَ لَهُ قَالَ لَهُ مُشِيرُوهُ وَزَوْجَتُهُ: «إِنْ كَانَ مُرْدَخَايُ الَّذِي أَخَذَ يَغْلِبُ عَلَيْكَ يَنْتَمِي إِلَى الْجِنْسِ اليَهُودِيِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ بَلْ لابُدَّ أَنْ تَهْلِكَ أَمَامَهُ». | ١٣ 13 |
Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai before whom you have already been humiliated is of the Jewish people, you can do nothing against him but will surely fall before him.”
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَدَاوَلُونَ فِي الأَمْرِ أَقْبَلَ رُسُلُ الْمَلِكِ يَسْتَدْعُونَ هَامَانَ لِيُسْرِعَ فِي الْحُضُورِ إِلَى المَأْدُبَةِ الَّتِي أَقَامَتْهَا أَسْتِيرُ. | ١٤ 14 |
While they were still talking with him, the king’s attendants came and quickly took Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
