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.
Saa anadwo no, ɔhene no antumi anna, enti ɔmaa ɔsomfoɔ bi kɔfaa nʼahemman mu abakɔsɛm nkrataa baeɛ sɛ wɔnkenkan nkyerɛ no.
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.
Ɔhunuu sɛdeɛ Mordekai kɔdaa atirisopam bi adi, deɛ Bigtana ne Teres a na wɔyɛ apiafoɔ baanu a na wɔwɛn ɔhene no apono ano no pamee wɔ nkrataa no mu. Wɔpamm ɔhene no tiri so sɛ wɔbɛkum no.
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.
Ɔhene no bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn akatua anaa nkaeɛ adeɛ bɛn na wɔde ama Mordekai wɔ yei ho?” Asomfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Wɔnyɛɛ hwee mmaa no.”
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.
Ɔhene no bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔhyɛ akyire hɔ adihɔ hɔ no?” Ɛbaa sɛ, na afei na Haman abɛduru ahemfie adihɔ a ɛwɔ akyire hɔ no a ɔrebɛka akyerɛ ɔhene no, na wasɛn Mordekai wɔ dua a wasi no so.
5 And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
Nʼasomfoɔ no buaa ɔhene no sɛ, “Haman na ɔhyɛ hɔ.” Ɔhene no kaa sɛ, “Momfa no mmra mu.”
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?
Enti, Haman kɔɔ mu, maa ɔhene no bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na menyɛ mfa nhyɛ ɔbarima a nokorɛm, ɔsɔ mʼani no animuonyam?” Haman bisaa ne ho sɛ, “Hwan na ɔfata sɛ ɔhene hyɛ no animuonyam sene me?”
7 And Haman said to the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,
Enti, ɔbuaa sɛ, “Sɛ ɔhene pɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ obi animuonyam a,
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.
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nʼankasa ahentadeɛ mu baako ne nʼankasa pɔnkɔ a adehyeɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bɔ ne moma so ba.
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.
Ka kyerɛ mmapɔmma no mu baako a ɔdi mu yie, na ɔmfa ahentadeɛ nhyɛ no, na ɔnni nʼanim mfa no mmra adwaberem hɔ a ɔte ɔhene no ankasa pɔnkɔ so. Ɛsɛ sɛ mmapɔmma no gye no akurum sɛ, ‘Saa na ɔhene yɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn animuonyam no!’”
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.
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Haman sɛ, “Ɛyɛ koraa! Ka wo ho kɔfa ahentadeɛ no ne me pɔnkɔ no, na yɛ sɛdeɛ wopɛ sɛ woyɛ no ma Yudani Mordekai a ɔte ahemfie ɛpono ano no. Mma wo werɛ mfiri sɛ wobɛyɛ biribiara a woaka ho asɛm no.”
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.
Enti, Haman faa ahentadeɛ no de hyɛɛ Mordekai, de no tenaa Ɔhene no ankasa pɔnkɔ so, de no kɔɔ kuro no adwaberem hɔ a na ɔpae di nʼanim sɛ, “Saa na ɔhene yɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn animuonyam no.”
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hastened to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Akyire yi, Mordekai sane kɔɔ ahemfie hɔ ɛpono no ano, na Haman de ɔyea a ano yɛ den ne aniwuo yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ efie.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Haman bɔɔ ne yere Seres ne ne nnamfonom nyinaa amaneɛ no, wɔkaa sɛ, “Esiane sɛ Mordekai a ɔguu wʼanim ase yi yɛ Yudani enti, nhyehyɛeɛ biara a wobɛyɛ atia no no renyɛ yie. Sɛ wotoa so tia no a, ɛbɛkɔ no bɔne ama wo.”
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.
Ɛberɛ a wɔgu so rekasa no, ɔhene apiafoɔ no baeɛ sɛ, wɔrebɛfa Haman akɔ Ɛster apontoɔ a wasiesie no ase.
