Esther 6
1 But the Lord removed sleep from the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the books, the registers of daily events, to read to him.
Господь же отя сон от царя в нощи оней. И повеле рабу своему принести книги памятныя дний прочитати ему:
2 And he found the records written concerning Mardochaeus, how he had told the king concerning the two chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes.
и обрете писания написанная о Мардохеи, како поведа царю о двою евнуху царскую, внегда стрещи има, и умыслиста убити (царя) Артаксеркса.
3 And the king said, What honour or favour have we done to Mardochaeus? And the king's servants said, You have not done anything to him.
И рече царь: кую славу или благодать сотворихом Мардохею? И рекоша отроцы царевы: ничтоже сотворил еси ему?
4 And while the king was enquiring about the kindness of Mardochaeus, behold, Aman [was] in the court. And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Aman was come in to speak to the king, that he should hang Mardochaeus on the gallows, which he had prepared.
Вопрошающу же царю о благодеянии Мардохеове, се, Аман прииде во двор, и рече царь: кто есть во дворе? Аман же прииде рещи цареви, да повесит Мардохеа на древе, еже уготова.
5 And the king's servants said, Behold, Aman stands in the court. And the king said, Call him.
И рекоша отроцы царевы: се, Аман стоит во дворе. И рече царь: призовите его.
6 And the king said to Aman, What shall I do to the man whom I wish to honour? And Aman said within himself, Whom would the king honour but myself?
И рече царь Аману: что сотворю мужу, егоже аз хощу прославити? Рече же в себе Аман: кого хощет царь прославити, разве мене?
7 and he said to the king, As for the man whom the king wishes to honour,
Рече же царю: мужа, егоже хощет царь прославити,
8 let the king's servants bring the robe of fine linen which the king puts on, and the horse on which the king rides,
да принесут отроцы царевы одежду виссонную, еюже царь облачается, и коня, на немже царь ездит,
9 and let him give [it] to one of the king's noble friends, and let him array the man whom the king loves; and let him mount him on the horse, and proclaim through the street of the city, saying, Thus shall it be [done] to every man whom the king honours.
и да дастся единому от другов царевых славных, и да облечет мужа, егоже царь любит, и да посадит его на коня и проповесть на улицах града, глаголя: тако будет всякому человеку, егоже царь прославит.
10 Then the king said to Aman, You have well said: so do to Mardochaeus the Jew, who waits in the palace, and let not a word of what you have spoken be neglected.
И рече царь Аману: добре рекл еси: тако сотвори Мардохею Иудеанину, угодно служащему во дворе (нашем), и да не изменится слово твое от сих, яже рекл еси.
11 So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mardochaeus, and mounted him on the horse, and went through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be to every man whom the king wishes to honour.
И взя Аман одежду и коня, и облече Мардохеа, и возведе его на коня, и пройде по улицам града, и проповедаше (пред ним), глаголя: сице будет всякому человеку, егоже хощет цар прославити.
12 And Mardochaeus returned to the palace: but Aman went home mourning, and having his head covered.
И возвратися Мардохеи во двор (царев): Аман же иде в дом свой скорбя преклонив главу.
13 And Aman related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to [his] friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, If Mardochaeus [be] of the race of the Jews, [and] you have begun to be humbled before him, you will assuredly fall, and you will not be able to withstand him, for the living God [is] with him.
И сказа Аман случившаяся ему Зосаре жене своей и другом своим. И реша ему друзие его и жена: аще от племене Иудейскаго Мардохей, начал еси смирятися пред ним, падая падеши, и не возможеши ему отмстити, яко Бог живый есть с ним.
14 While they were yet speaking, the chamberlains arrived, to hasten Aman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.
И еще глаголющым им, приидоша евнуси, спешно зовуще Амана на пир, егоже уготова Есфирь.
