Esther 6
1 That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before him,
Na butu wana, lokola mokonzi akokaki kolala te, asengaki ete bamemela ye buku ya masolo, masolo ya bokonzi na ye, mpo ete batanga yango liboso na ye.
2 They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus.
Emonanaki ete bakomaki boye kati na yango: Maridoshe afundaki Bigitani mpe Tereshi, basoda mibale oyo baboma bango mokongo mpe bazalaki kokengela ekuke ya mokonzi, oyo basalaki likita mpo na koboma mokonzi Kizerisesi.
3 And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all.
Mokonzi atunaki: — Lokumu mpe lifuti nini Maridoshe azwaki mpo na yango? Basali na ye bazongisaki: — Basala ata eloko moko te mpo na ye.
4 And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king’s house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet which was prepared for him.
Mokonzi atunaki: — Nani azali kati na lopango? Nzokande Amani awutaki kokota na lopango ya libanda ya ndako ya mokonzi mpo na kosolola na ye mpo ete badiembika Maridoshe na nzete oyo atelemisaki mpo na ye.
5 The servants answered: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in.
Basali ya mokonzi bazongisaki: — Ezali Amani nde azali kati na lopango. Mokonzi alobaki: — Bokotisa ye.
6 And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself,
Tango Amani akotaki, mokonzi atunaki ye: — Tokoki kosala nini mpo na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu? Amani amilobelaki: « Nani lisusu oyo mokonzi akoki kopesa lokumu soki ngai te? »
7 Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,
Amani azongiselaki mokonzi: — Mpo na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu,
8 Ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head,
tika ete bamema nzambala ya bokonzi oyo mokonzi alataka elongo na mpunda oyo mokonzi amataka mpe batia motole ya bokonzi na moto ya mpunda yango.
9 And let the first of the king’s princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
Tika ete bapesa nzambala mpe mpunda yango epai ya kalaka oyo aleki na lokumu kati na bakalaka ya mokonzi, mpe tika ete balatisa nzambala na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu, mpe tika ete batambolisa ye likolo ya mpunda na balabala ya engumba na kotatola liboso na ye: « Tala makambo oyo mokonzi asali mpo na moto oyo ye alingi kopesa lokumu! »
10 And the king said to him: Make haste and take the robe and the horse, and do as thou hast spoken to Mardochai the Jew, who sitteth before the gates of the palace. Beware thou pass over any of those things which thou hast spoken.
Mokonzi alobaki na Amani: — Kende noki koluka nzambala mpe mpunda ndenge olobi, mpe sala yango mpo na Moyuda Maridoshe oyo asalaka mosala na ye na ekuke ya mokonzi. Kati na makambo nyonso oyo osili koloba, kotika ata eloko moko te.
11 So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
Amani azwaki nzambala mpe mpunda, alatisaki Maridoshe nzambala yango mpe atambolisaki ye likolo ya mpunda na balabala nyonso ya engumba na kotatola liboso na ye: « Tala makambo oyo mokonzi asali mpo na moto oyo alingi kopesa lokumu! »
12 But Mardochai returned to the palace gate: and Aman made haste to go to his house, mourning and having his head covered:
Sima, Maridoshe azongaki na ekuke ya mokonzi; kasi Amani azongaki noki na ndako na ye, na soni mpe azipa moto na ye.
13 And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight.
Amani ayebisaki mwasi na ye, Zereshi, mpe baninga na ye nyonso makambo oyo ekomelaki ye. Bapesi toli na ye mpe mwasi na ye, Zereshi, balobaki na ye: — Lokola kokweyisama na yo ebandi liboso ya Maridoshe oyo azali Moyuda, okokoka kolonga ye te; solo penza, okokweyisama lisusu na se koleka!
14 As they were yet speaking, the king’s eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared.
Wana bazalaki nanu kosolola na ye, basoda ya mokonzi, oyo baboma bango mokongo, bayaki mpe bamemaki Amani na lombangu na feti oyo Ester abongisaki.
