< Esther 6 >

1 The king passed that night without sleep, and so he ordered the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought to him. And when they were reading them before him,
I A po, aole i hiki i ke alii ke hiamoe, a kauoha ae la ia e laweia mai ka buke mooolelo o na oihana; a heluheluia ia imua o ke alii.
2 they came to that place where it had been written, how Mordecai had reported the treachery of Bigthan and Teresh the eunuchs, who desired to cut the throat of king Artaxerxes.
A loaa iho la ka palapala o ko Moredekai hai ana no Bigetana, a me Teresa, na luna elua o ke alii i kiai ai i ka puka, a imi i wahi e hiki ai, ke kau i ka lima maluna o ke alii o Ahasuero.
3 When the king had heard this, he said, “What honor and reward has Mordecai been given for this fidelity?” His servants and ministers said to him, “He has received no compensation at all.”
Ninau ae ke alii, Heaha ka mea maikai, a me ka mea nui i hanaia'i ia Moredekai, no keia mea? I aku la na kauwa a ke alii i ka poe i lawelawe nana, Aohe mea i hanaia nona.
4 And immediately the king said, “Who is in the atrium?” For, you see, Haman was entering the inner atrium of the king’s house to suggest to the king that he should order Mordecai to be hanged on the gallows, which had been prepared for him.
Ninau ae la ke alii, Owai la ma ka pahale? Ua hiki mai o Hamana ma ka pahale mawaho o ka hale o ke alii e olelo i ke alii, e liia o Moredekai ma ke olokea ana i hoomakaukau ai nona.
5 The servants answered, “Haman is standing in the atrium.” And the king said, “Let him enter.”
I aku la na kauwa a ke alii ia ia, Aia, ke ku mai la o Hamana ma ka pahale. I mai la ke alii, E hele mai la iloko.
6 And when he had entered, he said to him, “What ought to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” But Haman, thinking in his heart and supposing that the king would honor no one else but himself,
Alaila, komo aku la o Hamana. Ninau mai la ke alii ia ia, Heaha ka mea e hanaia'i no ke kanaka a ke alii e manao nei e hoohanohano? Nalu iho la o Hamana maloko o kona naau, Owai ka mea a ke alii e makemake nei e hoohanohano, aoleanei owau?
7 answered, “The man whom the king wishes to honor,
I aku la o Hamana i ka alii, No ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake nei e hoohanohano,
8 ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and be set upon the horse that the king rides, and receive the royal crown upon his head.
E laweia mai ka lole alii a ke alii i komo ai, a me ka lio a ke alii i holoholo ai, a me ka leialii i hooleiia'i kona poo;
9 And let the first of the king’s rulers and sovereigns hold his horse, and, as they advance through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say, ‘Thus shall he be honored, whom the king decides to honor.’”
A e haawiia ua lole la, a me ka lio i ka lima o kekahi o na'lii koikoi o ke alii, i hoaahu ai lakou i ke kanaka a ke alii i makemake ai e hoohano, a e hooholo lakou ia ia maluna o ka lio ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale, a e kala aku mamua ona, Pela e hanaia'i ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake ai e hoolanilani.
10 And the king said to him, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, and do as you have said to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in front of the gate of the palace. Be careful not to omit any of those things which you have mentioned.”
Alaila, olelo mai la ke alii ia Hamana, E wikiwiki oe, e lawe i ka lole, a me ka lio, me au i olelo ai, a e hana aku oe pela ia Moredekai, i ka Iudaio, ka mea e noho la ma ka pukapa o ke alii. Mai hoohaule i kekahi o na mea a pau au i olelo mai nei.
11 And so Haman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mordecai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, he went before him and cried out, “He is worthy of this honor, whom the king has decided to honor.”
Alaila, lawe o Hamana i ka lole a me ka lio, a hoaahu iho la ia Moredekai, a hooholo ae la ia ia maluna o ka lio, ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale, a kala aku la imua ona, Pela no e hanaia mai ai i ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake ai e hoohanohano.
12 And Mordecai returned to the palace door. And Haman hurried to go to his house, mourning and hiding his head.
Hele hou aku la o Moredekai i ka pukapa o ke alii; aka, o Hamana, wikiwiki ae la ia i kona hale, me ke kaniuhu, a ua pulouia kona poo.
13 And he explained to Zeresh his wife and to his friends all that had happened to him. And the wise men, whom he held in counsel, and his wife, answered him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is from the offspring of the Jews, you will not be able to withstand him, but you will fall in his sight.”
Hai aku la o Hamana i kana wahine ia Zeresa, a i kona poe makamaka a pau i na mea a pau i loaa ai ia ia. Alaila, olelo mai la ia ia kona poe kanaka akamai, a me kana wahine o Zeresa, Ina no ka hanauna Iudaio o ua Moredekai la, a ua haule oe imua ona i keia wa, aole no oe e lanakihi maluna one, aka, e oiaio no, e haule no oe imua ona.
14 As they were still speaking, the king’s eunuchs arrived and compelled him to go quickly to the feast, which the queen had prepared.
A ia lakou e kamailio pu ana me ia, hiki ae la na luna o ke alii, a wikiwiki lakou e lawe aku ia Hamana i ka ahainu a Esetera i hoomakaukau ai.
