Esther 6
1 That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
To noč kralj ni mogel spati in zapovedal je, da prinesejo knjigo kroniških zapisov in brani so bili pred kraljem.
2 And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
Najdeno je bilo zapisano, da je Mordohaj povedal o Bigtánu in Terešu, o dveh izmed glavnih dvornih upraviteljev, čuvajema vrat, ki sta iskala, da položita roko na Kralja Ahasvérja.
3 The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
Kralj je rekel: »Kakšna čast in dostojanstvo sta bila zaradi tega storjena Mordohaju?« Potem so kraljevi služabniki, ki so mu služili, rekli: »Nič ni bilo storjeno zanj.«
4 “Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
Kralj je rekel: »Kdo je na dvoru?« Torej Hamán je prišel na zunanji dvor kraljeve hiše, da spregovori kralju, da Mordohaja obesi na vislice, ki jih je pripravil zanj.
5 So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
Kraljevi služabniki pa so mu rekli: »Glej, Hamán stoji na dvoru.« Kralj je rekel: »Naj vstopi.«
6 Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”
Tako je Hamán vstopil. Kralj mu je rekel: »Kaj naj bo storjeno človeku, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje, da ga počasti?« Torej Hamán je v svojem srcu mislil: ›Koga bi se kralj veselil, da ga počasti, bolj kakor mene?‹
7 And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
Hamán je odgovoril kralju: »Za človeka, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje, da ga počasti,
8 have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head.
naj bo prinesena kraljevska obleka, ki jo kralj uporablja za nošnjo in konj, na katerem jaha kralj in kraljeva krona, ki je postavljena na njegovi glavi.
9 Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’”
Ta obleka in konj naj bosta izročena roki enega izmed kraljevih najplemenitejših princev, da bodo lahko s tem oblekli človeka, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje počastiti in naj ga na konjskem hrbtu povedejo po mestni ulici in pred njim razglašajo: ›Tako bo to storjeno človeku, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje, da ga počasti.‹«
10 “Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”
Potem je kralj rekel Hamánu: »Podvizaj se in vzemi obleko in konja, kakor si rekel in celo tako stori Judu Mordohaju, ki sedi pri kraljevih velikih vratih. Naj ničesar ne manjka od vsega, kar si govoril.«
11 So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!”
Potem je Hamán vzel obleko in konja ter oblekel Mordohaja in ga na konjskem hrbtu povedel po mestni ulici in pred njim razglašal: »Tako bo storjeno človeku, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje, da ga počasti.«
12 Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief.
In Mordohaj je ponovno prišel h kraljevim velikim vratom. Hamán pa je žalujoč hitel k svoji hiši in svojo glavo je imel zakrito.
13 Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will fall before him.”
Hamán je povedal svoji ženi Zêreši in vsem svojim prijateljem, vsako stvar, ki ga je doletela. Potem so mu njegovi modri možje in njegova žena Zêreša rekli: »Če je Mordohaj iz rodu Judov, pred katerim si začel padati, ne boš prevladal zoper njega, temveč boš zagotovo padel pred njim.«
14 While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Medtem ko so še govorili z njim, so prišli kraljevi glavni dvorni upravitelji in hiteli, da Hamána privedejo na gostijo, ki jo je pripravila Estera.
