< Esther 6 >

1 On 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.
Ekiro ekyo Kabaka teyayinza kwebaka; era n’alagira ekitabo eky’ebijjukizo eky’ebigambo ebya buli lunaku, bisomebwe mu maaso ge.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, of those who kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on king Ahasuerus.
Awo ne kisangibwa mu byafaayo nti Moluddekaayi yamanya olukwe lwa Bigusani ne Teresi babiri ku balaawe ba Kabaka abaali bakuuma omulyango nga baali bagezaako okutta Kabaka Akaswero, era nga Moluddekaayi ye yabaloopayo.
3 And the king said, What honor and dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this? Then the king's servants who ministered to him said, There is nothing done for him.
Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Kitiibwa ki na bukulu ki Moluddekaayi bye yaweebwa olw’ekyo?” Awo abaweereza ba Kabaka ne baddamu nti, “Tewali kintu kye yali aweereddwa.”
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman came into the outward court of the king's house to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Awo Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Ani ali mu luggya?” Mu kiseera ekyo Kamani yali yakayingira mu luggya olw’ebweru olw’oku lubiri lwa Kabaka, nga azze okwogera ne Kabaka ku kigambo eky’okuwanika Moluddekaayi ku kalabba Kamani ke yali amuzimbidde.
5 And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
Amangwago abaweereza ne baddamu nti, “Kamani wuuno waali ayimiridde mu luggya.” Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Mumukkirize ayingire.”
6 So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?
Awo Kamani n’ayingira, Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Anaakolebwa ki omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira era gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa?” Kamani n’alowooza mu mutima gwe nti, “Ani Kabaka gwe yandisanyukidde okumuwa ekitiibwa okusinga nze?”
7 And Haman said to the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,
Kamani n’addamu Kabaka nti, “Omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira okumuwa ekitiibwa,
8 let royal apparel be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides upon, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.
bamuleetere ebyambalo Kabaka bye yali ayambaddemu, n’embalaasi Kabaka gye yali yeebagadde atikkirweko engule ey’obwakabaka ku mutwe.
9 And let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble rulers, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delights to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
Ebyambalo n’embalaasi bikwasibwe omu ku bakungu kabaka basinga okuwa ekitiibwa, n’oluvannyuma omusajja oyo kabaka gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa ayambazibwe ebyambalo ebyo era yeebagale n’embalaasi, era omulangira Kabaka gw’anaalonda amukulembere mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira waggulu nti, ‘Bw’atyo bw’anaakolebwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa!’”
10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate. Let nothing fail of all that thou have spoken.
Awo Kabaka n’alagira Kamani nti, “Yanguwa ofune ebyambalo n’embalaasi nga bw’oyogedde, okolere ddala bw’otyo Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya atuula ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, ate waleme okubulako n’ekimu ku ebyo byonna by’oyogedde.”
11 Then Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
Awo Kamani n’addira ebyambalo, n’ayambaza Moluddekaayi, n’amwebagaza ku mbalaasi, era n’amukulembera mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira mu maaso ge nti, “Bw’atyo bw’akoleddwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa.”
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hastened to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Oluvannyuma Moluddekaayi n’akomawo ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, naye Kamani n’ayanguwa n’addayo ewuwe, ng’anakuwadde era ng’abisse ku mutwe gwe,
13 And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, If Mordecai, before whom thou have begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him.
n’ategeeza Zeresi mukazi we ne mikwano gye bonna byonna ebimutuuseeko. Awo abamuwa amagezi ne mukazi we Zeresi ne bamugamba nti, “Engeri Moluddekaayi gw’otanulidde okugwa mu maaso ge, nga bw’ava mu ggwanga ly’Abayudaaya, tojja kumusinga, era tolirema kuzikirira mu maaso ge.”
14 While they were yet talking with him, the king's chamberlains came, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Awo bwe baali nga bakyayogera naye, abalaawe ba Kabaka ne batuuka, ne banguwa okutwala Kamani ku mbaga Eseza gye yali afumbye.
