< Estera 6 >

1 Te noći kralj ne mogaše usnuti. Zato naredi da mu donesu i čitaju knjigu znamenitih događaja, Ljetopise.
In the night that it fled [the] sleep of the king and he said to bring [the] book of the reminders [the] words of the days and they were read aloud before the king.
2 Tu se nađe zapisano kako je Mordokaj prokazao Bigtanu i Tereša, dva dvoranina kraljeva, čuvare praga, koji su se spremali da podignu ruke na kralja Ahasvera.
And it was found recorded that he had told Mordecai on Bigthana and Teresh two of [the] eunuchs of the king from [the] guards of the threshold who they had sought to stretch out a hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3 Kralj upita: "Kakva je čast i kakvo je odlikovanje zapalo Mordokaja za sve to?" Kraljeve sluge, dvorani koji ga slušahu, odgovoriše: "Ništa nije učinjeno za nj."
And he said the king what? has it been done honor and greatness for Mordecai on this and they said [the] young men of the king servants his not it was done with him anything.
4 Kralj onda zapita: "Tko je u predvorju?" A to u vanjsko predvorje kraljevske palače bijaše stigao Haman da traži od kralja neka objese Mordokaja na vješalima koja su već bila podignuta za nj.
And he said the king who? [is] in the court and Haman he had come to [the] court of [the] house of the king outer to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.
5 Službenici kraljevi odgovoriše: "Eno se u predvorju nalazi Haman." "Neka uđe!" - naredi kralj.
And they said [the] servants of the king to him there! Haman [is] standing in the court and he said the king let him come.
6 Kako Haman uđe, kralj ga upita: "Što treba učiniti čovjeku koga kralj hoće da počasti?" Haman reče u sebi: "Koga ako ne mene kralj želi počastiti?"
And he came Haman and he said to him the king what? [is] to do for the man whom the king he delights in honor his and he said Haman in heart his to whom? will he delight the king to do honor excess more than me.
7 Zato odgovori kralju: "Za čovjeka koga kralj želi počastiti
And he said Haman to the king a man whom the king he delights in honor his.
8 treba donijeti kraljevske haljine koje kralj sam oblači i dovesti konja kojega kralj jaše i položiti mu na glavu kraljevsku krunu.
Let people bring clothing of royalty which he has worn on him the king and a horse which he has ridden on it the king and which it has been put a head-dress of royalty on head its.
9 Haljine i konja neka kralj preda jednome od najuglednijih kneževa kraljevih da bi taj obukao onoga koga kralj želi počastiti i na konju ga odveo na gradski trg uzvikujući pred njim: 'Tako biva onome koga kralj hoće da počasti!'"
And let them put the clothing and the horse on [the] hand of a man one of [the] officials of the king the nobles and they will clothe the man whom the king he delights in honor his and they will make ride him on the horse in [the] open place of the city and they will proclaim before him thus it will be done for the man whom the king he delights in honor his.
10 Kralj nato naredi Hamanu: "Uzmi odmah haljine i konja, kako si rekao, pa učini tako Mordokaju Židovu koji sjedi na kraljevim vratima i ne propusti ništa od onoga što si rekao!"
And he said the king to Haman hurry take the clothing and the horse just as you have said and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits at [the] gate of the king may not you make fall a word from all that you have said.
11 Haman uze haljine i konja: obuče u haljine Mordokaja i provede ga na konju po trgu grada vičući pred njim: "Tako biva onome koga kralj hoće da počasti!"
And he took Haman the clothing and the horse and he clothed Mordecai and he made ride him in [the] open place of the city and he proclaimed before him thus it will be done for the man whom the king he delights in honor his.
12 Malo zatim Mordokaj se vrati k vratima kraljevim, a Haman, tužan i zastrte glave, ode žurno kući
And he returned Mordecai to [the] gate of the king and Haman he hurried himself to house his mourning and covered of head.
13 te ispriča Zareši, ženi svojoj, i svima prijateljima svojim što se dogodilo. Njegovi mu savjetnici i žena Zareša rekoše: "Ako Mordokaj, pred kojim si počeo posrtati, pripada židovskom rodu, nećeš ga nadjačati, nego će te on zacijelo oboriti."
And he recounted Haman to Zeresh wife his and to all friends his all that it had happened to him and they said to him wise [men] his and Zeresh wife his if [is] one of [the] offspring of the Jews Mordecai whom you have begun to fall before him not you will prevail to him for certainly you will fall before him.
14 Još su o tom razgovarali, kad eto kraljevih dvorana. Došli su tražiti Hamana da ga žurno odvedu na gozbu koju je priredila Estera.
Still they [were] speaking with him and [the] eunuchs of the king they arrived and they made haste to bring Haman to the feast which she had prepared Esther.
