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.
I taua po kihai i moe te kingi, a ka mea kia kawea mai te pukapuka whakamahara ki nga meatanga o nga ra. Na ka korerotia ki te aroaro o te kingi.
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.
Na ka kitea, kua oti te tuhituhi te whakaatu a Mororekai mo Pikitana raua ko Terehe, mo nga rangatira ruma tokorua a te kingi, he kaitiaki tetau, i whai raua kia pa te ringa ki a Kingi Ahahueruha.
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.
Na ka mea te kingi, He aha te honore, te kororia, i whiwhi ai a Mororekai mo tenei? Ano ra ko nga tangata a te kingi i mahi nei ki a ia, Kihai tetahi mea i meatia ki a ia.
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.
Na ka mea te kingi, Ko wai kei te marae? Na tera a Hamana kua tae mai ki te marae o waho o te whare o te kingi, ki te korero ki te kingi, kia taronatia a Mororekai ki runga ki te tarawa kua oti te hanga mona.
5 The king's attendants told him, “Haman is waiting in the court.” “Tell him to come in,” the king ordered.
Na ka mea nga tangata a te kingi ki a ia, Ko Hamana tenei e tu mai nei i te marae. Ano ra ko te kingi, Kia haere mai ia.
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?”
Heoi ka haere mai a Hamana. Na ka mea te kingi ke a ia, Ko te aha kia meatia ki ta te kingi tangata e pai ai kia whakahonoretia? Na ko te meatanga ake a Hamana i roto i tona ngakau, Ko wai atu i ahau ta te kingi e pai ai kia whakahonoretia?
7 So Haman said to the king, “A man whom the king wants to honor
Na ka mea a Hamana ki te kingi, Mo ta te kingi tangata e pai ai kia whakahonoretia,
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.
Me kawe mai nga kakahu kingi, e kakahu nei te kingi me te hoiho ano e ekengia ana e te kingi, potae rawa he karauna kingi ki tona matenga;
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!’”
Na ka hoatu taua kakahu me te hoiho ke te ringa o tetahi o nga tino rangatira a te kingi, kia whakakakahuria atu ki te tangata e pai ai te kingi kia whakahonoretia; na ka mea i a ia kia eke i runga i te hoiho i te waharoa o te pa, ka karanga haer e ai i mua i a ia, Ka peneitia te tangata e pai ai te kingi kia whakahonoretia.
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.”
Katahi ka mea te kingi ki a Hamana, Kia hohoro tau tiki atu i te kakahu, i te hoiho, i tau i ki na, ka pera ai ki a Mororekai, ki te Hurai, e noho nei i te kuwaha o te kingi. Kei taka tetahi kupu o nga mea katoa i korerotia e koe.
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!”
Katahi ka tikina e Hamana te kakahu, me te hoiho, a whakakakahuria ana e ia a Mororekai, arahina ana i runga i te hoiho i te waharoa o te pa, me te karanga ano i tona aroaro, Ka peneitia te tangata e pai ai te kingi kia whakahonoretia.
12 Mordecai went back to the palace gate, but Haman rushed home, crying and covering his head in shame.
Na hoki ana a Mororekai ki te kuwaha o te kingi; ko Hamana ia i hohoro ki tona whare, pouri tonu, hipoki rawa te mahunga.
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!”
Na ka korerotia e Hamana ki tana wahine, ki a Herehe, ki ona hoa katoa nga mea katoa i pa ki a ia. Katahi ana tangata mohio, ratou ko tana wahine, ko Herehe, ka mea ki a ia, Ki te mea no nga uri o nga Hurai a Mororekai, kua timata na koe te hing a i tona aroaro, e kore koe e kaha i a ia, engari ka hinga rawa koe i tona aroaro.
14 While they were still talking to him, the king's eunuchs arrived and quickly took Haman to the dinner which Esther had prepared.
I a ratou e korero ana ki a ia, ka tae mai nga rangatira ruma a te kingi, porangi tonu, hei arahi mo Hamana ki te hakari i taka e Ehetere.
