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.
To noč kralj ni mogel spati in zapovedal je, da prinesejo knjigo kroniških zapisov in brani so bili pred kraljem.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman is standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
Kraljevi služabniki pa so mu rekli: »Glej, Hamán stoji na dvoru.« Kralj je rekel: »Naj vstopi.«
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?
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 answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honour,
Hamán je odgovoril kralju: »Za človeka, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje, da ga počasti,
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;
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 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!
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 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.
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 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!
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 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
In Mordohaj je ponovno prišel h kraljevim velikim vratom. Hamán pa je žalujoč hitel k svoji hiši in svojo glavo je imel zakrito.
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.
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 yet talking with him, the king's chamberlains came, and hasted to bring Haman 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.
