أسْتِير 6
| فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَرِقَ الْمَلِكُ، فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِلَيْهِ بِكِتَابِ تَاريِخِ أَيَّامِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ، فَقُرِئَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ، | ١ 1 |
In that night the king could not sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; 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 |
And it was found written, that Mordecai had informed on Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
| فَسَأَلَ الْمَلِكُ: «أَيَّةُ مُكَافَأَةٍ وَإِكْرَامٍ أَجْزَلْتُهُمَا لِمُرْدَخَايَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُ رِجَالُهُ الْقَائِمُونَ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ: «لَمْ يُكَافَأْ بِشَيْءٍ». | ٣ 3 |
And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been bestowed upon Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered to him, There is nothing 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 |
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
| فَأَجَابَ رِجَالُ الْمَلِكِ: «هَا هُوَ هَامَانُ وَاقِفٌ فِي السَّاحَةِ». فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «لِيَدْخُلْ». | ٥ 5 |
And the king’s servants said to him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
| 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 came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
| ثُمَّ أَجَابَ الْمَلِكَ: «تُخْلَعُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَرْغَبُ الْمَلِكُ فِي إِكْرَامِهِ | ٧ 7 |
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
| الثِّيَابُ الْمَلَكِيَّةُ الَّتِي يَرْتَدِيهَا الْمَلِكُ، وَيُؤْتَى بِالْفَرَسِ الَّذِي يَرْكَبُهُ الْمَلِكُ، وَالتَّاجِ الَّذِي يَضَعُهُ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، | ٨ 8 |
Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
| 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 |
And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
| 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 apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
| 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 |
Then Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
| ثُمَّ عَادَ مُرْدَخَايُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ. أَمَّا هَامَانُ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ يَجُرُّ وَرَاءَهُ أَذْيَالَ الْخِزْيِ | ١٢ 12 |
And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having 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 |
And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai is of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَدَاوَلُونَ فِي الأَمْرِ أَقْبَلَ رُسُلُ الْمَلِكِ يَسْتَدْعُونَ هَامَانَ لِيُسْرِعَ فِي الْحُضُورِ إِلَى المَأْدُبَةِ الَّتِي أَقَامَتْهَا أَسْتِيرُ. | ١٤ 14 |
And while they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
