< Esther 6 >

1 On that night sleep fled from the king. And he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
Ону ноћ не могаше цар спавати, и заповеди те му донесоше књигу од знаменитих догађаја, дневнике, те је читаше цару.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, keepers of the threshold, who had sought to lay hand on king Ahasuerus.
И нађе се записано како је Мардохеј проказао за Вихтана и Тереса, два дворанина, који чуваху стражу на прагу, да гледају да дигну руке на цара Асвира.
3 And the king said, What honour and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? And the king's servants that attended upon him said, Nothing has been done for him.
Тада рече цар: Каква је част и како је добро учињено Мардохеју за то? А момци цареви, слуге његове, рекоше: Није му учињено ништа.
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come 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.
А цар рече: Ко је у трему? А Аман беше дошао у спољашњи трем двора царевог да каже цару да се обеси Мардохеј на вешала која му је приправио.
5 And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman is standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
А момци цареви рекоше му: Гле, Аман стоји у трему. А цар рече: Нека дође.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done with the man whom the king delights to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to me?
И Аман дође, а цар му рече: Шта треба учинити човеку ког цар хоће да прослави? А Аман рече у себи: Кога би цар хтео прославити ако не мене?
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honour,
И рече Аман цару: Кога цар хоће да прослави,
8 let the royal apparel be brought with which the king arrays himself, and the horse that the king rides upon, and on the head of which the royal crown is set;
Треба донети царско одело које цар носи, и довести коња на коме цар јаше, и метнути му на главу венац царски;
9 and let the apparel and horse be delivered into the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, and let them array the man whom the king delights to honour, and cause him to ride on the horse through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!
И одело и коња треба дати коме између највећих кнезова царевих да обуку човека оног ког цар хоће да прослави, па да га проведу на коњу по улицама градским и вичу пред њим: Овако бива човеку кога цар хоће да прослави.
10 And the king said to Haman, Make haste, take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast said.
Тада рече цар Аману: Брже узми одело и коња као што рече, и учини тако Мардохеју, Јудејцу који седи на вратима царевим; немој изоставити ништа што си рекао.
11 And 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 honour!
И узе Аман одело и коња, и обуче Мардохеја и проведе га на коњу по улицама градским вичући пред њим: Овако бива човеку кога цар хоће да прослави.
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Потом се врати Мардохеј на врата царева, а Аман брже отиде кући својој жалостан и покривене главе.
13 And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends all that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but wilt certainly fall before him.
И приповеди Аман Сереси, жени својој и свим пријатељима својим све што му се догоди. Тада му рекоше мудраци његови и Сереса жена његова: Кад је од јудејског семена Мардохеј пред којим си почео падати, нећеш му одолети, него ћеш пасти пред њим.
14 While they were yet talking with him, the king's chamberlains came, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
И док они још говораху с њим, дођоше дворани цареви и брже одведоше Амана на обед који зготови Јестира.
