Esther 6
1 That night the king wasn't able to sleep, so he ordered the Book of Records of the King's Reign brought in so it could be read to him.
Ekiro ekyo Kabaka teyayinza kwebaka; era n’alagira ekitabo eky’ebijjukizo eky’ebigambo ebya buli lunaku, bisomebwe mu maaso ge.
2 There he discovered the account of what Mordecai had reported about Bigthana and Teresh, the two king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers who had plotted to assassinate King Xerxes.
Awo ne kisangibwa mu byafaayo nti Moluddekaayi yamanya olukwe lwa Bigusani ne Teresi babiri ku balaawe ba Kabaka abaali bakuuma omulyango nga baali bagezaako okutta Kabaka Akaswero, era nga Moluddekaayi ye yabaloopayo.
3 “What honor or position did Morcedai receive as a reward for doing this?” asked the king. “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king's attendants.
Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Kitiibwa ki na bukulu ki Moluddekaayi bye yaweebwa olw’ekyo?” Awo abaweereza ba Kabaka ne baddamu nti, “Tewali kintu kye yali aweereddwa.”
4 “Who's here in the court?” the king asked. Haman had just happened to arrive in the outer court of the royal palace to ask the king to have Mordecai impaled on the pole he had set up for him.
Awo Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Ani ali mu luggya?” Mu kiseera ekyo Kamani yali yakayingira mu luggya olw’ebweru olw’oku lubiri lwa Kabaka, nga azze okwogera ne Kabaka ku kigambo eky’okuwanika Moluddekaayi ku kalabba Kamani ke yali amuzimbidde.
5 The king's attendants told him, “Haman is waiting in the court.” “Tell him to come in,” the king ordered.
Amangwago abaweereza ne baddamu nti, “Kamani wuuno waali ayimiridde mu luggya.” Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Mumukkirize ayingire.”
6 When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should be done for a man the king wants to honor?” Haman said to himself, “Who would the king want to honor except me?”
Awo Kamani n’ayingira, Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Anaakolebwa ki omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira era gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa?” Kamani n’alowooza mu mutima gwe nti, “Ani Kabaka gwe yandisanyukidde okumuwa ekitiibwa okusinga nze?”
7 So Haman said to the king, “A man whom the king wants to honor
Kamani n’addamu Kabaka nti, “Omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira okumuwa ekitiibwa,
8 should be brought royal robes the king has worn, a horse the king has ridden and which has a royal headdress on its head.
bamuleetere ebyambalo Kabaka bye yali ayambaddemu, n’embalaasi Kabaka gye yali yeebagadde atikkirweko engule ey’obwakabaka ku mutwe.
9 Have the robes and the horse handed over to one of the king's highest officials and nobles. Let him make sure the man the king wishes to honor is dressed in the royal robes and that he rides on the horse through the city streets, and have the official announce before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!’”
Ebyambalo n’embalaasi bikwasibwe omu ku bakungu kabaka basinga okuwa ekitiibwa, n’oluvannyuma omusajja oyo kabaka gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa ayambazibwe ebyambalo ebyo era yeebagale n’embalaasi, era omulangira Kabaka gw’anaalonda amukulembere mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira waggulu nti, ‘Bw’atyo bw’anaakolebwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa!’”
10 Then the king told Haman, “Right! Off you go! Quickly get the royal robes and the horse, and do just what you've said for Mordecai the Jew sitting at the palace gate. Don't leave out anything that you mentioned.”
Awo Kabaka n’alagira Kamani nti, “Yanguwa ofune ebyambalo n’embalaasi nga bw’oyogedde, okolere ddala bw’otyo Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya atuula ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, ate waleme okubulako n’ekimu ku ebyo byonna by’oyogedde.”
11 Haman went and got the robes and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and placed him on the horse, and led him through the streets of the city, shouting before him, “This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!”
Awo Kamani n’addira ebyambalo, n’ayambaza Moluddekaayi, n’amwebagaza ku mbalaasi, era n’amukulembera mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira mu maaso ge nti, “Bw’atyo bw’akoleddwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa.”
12 Mordecai went back to the palace gate, but Haman rushed home, crying and covering his head in shame.
Oluvannyuma Moluddekaayi n’akomawo ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, naye Kamani n’ayanguwa n’addayo ewuwe, ng’anakuwadde era ng’abisse ku mutwe gwe,
13 Haman explained to his wife Zeresh and all his friends what had happened to him. These wise friends and his wife Zeresh told him, “If Mordecai is one of the Jewish people, and you have already begun to lose status before him—you won't be able to beat him! You're going to lose to him, you're going to fall!”
n’ategeeza Zeresi mukazi we ne mikwano gye bonna byonna ebimutuuseeko. Awo abamuwa amagezi ne mukazi we Zeresi ne bamugamba nti, “Engeri Moluddekaayi gw’otanulidde okugwa mu maaso ge, nga bw’ava mu ggwanga ly’Abayudaaya, tojja kumusinga, era tolirema kuzikirira mu maaso ge.”
14 While they were still talking to him, the king's eunuchs arrived and quickly took Haman to the dinner which Esther had prepared.
Awo bwe baali nga bakyayogera naye, abalaawe ba Kabaka ne batuuka, ne banguwa okutwala Kamani ku mbaga Eseza gye yali afumbye.
