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,
Nang gabing iyon hindi makatulog ang hari. Inutusan niya ang kanyang mga lingkod na dalhin ang mga talaan ng mga pangyayari sa kanyang paghahari, at ito ay basahin nang malakas sa harap ng hari.
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.
At natagpuang nakatala roon na isinumbong ni Mordecai ang tungkol kina Bigthana at Teres, dalawa sa mga opisyal ng hari na nagbabantay sa pasukan, na siyang sinubukang saktan si Haring Assuero.
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.”
Nagtanong ang hari, “Anong karangalan at pagkilala ang nagawa kay Mordecai sa paggawa nito?” Pagkatapos sinabi ng kanyang mga kabataang lalaki, na lingkod niya, “Walang anumang nagawa para sa kanya.”
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.
At sinabi ng hari, “Sino ang nasa patyo?” Ngayon si Haman ay pumasok sa panlabas na patyo ng bahay ng hari upang kausapin siya tungkol sa pagbitay kay Mordecai sa bitayang inihanda niya para sa kanya.
5 The servants answered, “Haman is standing in the atrium.” And the king said, “Let him enter.”
Sinabi ng mga lingkod ng hari sa kanya, “Si Haman ay nakatayo sa patyo.” Sinabi ng hari, “Hayaan siyang pumasok.”
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,
Nang pumasok si Haman, sinabi ng hari sa kanya, “Anong dapat gawin sa lalaki na kinalulugdang parangalan ng hari?” Ngayon sinabi ni Haman sa kanyang puso, “Sino ang kinalulugdang parangalan ng hari na higit kaysa sa akin?”
7 answered, “The man whom the king wishes to honor,
Sinabi ni Haman sa hari, “Sa lalaki na kinalulugdang parangalan ng hari,
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.
hayaang dalhin ang mga maharalikang balabal, mga balabal na isinuot ng hari, at isang kabayong sinakyan ng hari at sa ulo nito ay ang sagisag ng hari.
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.’”
Pagkatapos payagang ibigay ang mga balabal at ang kabayo sa isa sa pinakamarangal na opisyal ng hari. Hayaan silang bihisan ang lalaking kinalulugdang parangalan ng hari, at hayaang pasakayin siya sa kabayong lilibot sa mga lansangan ng bayan. Hayaang ipahayag nila sa harapan niya, 'Ganito ang ginagawa sa kinalulugdang parangalan ng hari!”'
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.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ng hari kay Haman, “Magmadali, kunin mo ang mga balabal at ang kabayo, gaya ng iyong sinabi, at gawin mo iyon kay Mordecai na Judio na nakaupo sa tarangkahan ng hari. Huwag mabigo sa isa mang bagay na iyong sinabi.”
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.”
Pagkatapos kinuha ni Haman ang mga balabal at ang kabayo. Binihisan niya si Mordecai at pinasakay sa kabayo patungo sa mga lansangan ng siyudad. Ipinahayag sa unahan niya, “Ganito ang ginagawa sa tao na kinalulugdang parangalan ng hari!”
12 And Mordecai returned to the palace door. And Haman hurried to go to his house, mourning and hiding his head.
Bumalik si Mordecai sa tarangkahan ng hari. Ngunit nagmadali si Haman sa kanyang bahay, nagluluksa, na may takip ang ulo.
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.”
Sinabi ni Haman kay Zeres na kanyang asawa at sa lahat niyang mga kaibigan ang lahat ng bagay na nangyari sa kanya. Pagkatapos sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang mga kalalakihang kilala sa kanilang karunungan, at Zeres na kanyang asawa, “Kapag si Mordecai, ang tao na siyang nagsimula kang bumagsak, ay Judio, hindi mo siya matatalo, ngunit ikaw ay tiyak na babagsak sa harap niya.
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.
Habang nakikipag-usap sila sa kanya, dumating ang mga opisyal ng hari. Nagmadaling dinala si Haman sa handaang inihanda ni Esther.
