Esther 6
1 The same night the King slept not, and he comanded to bring ye booke of the records, and the chronicles: and they were read before ye King.
Te noći kralj ne mogaše usnuti. Zato naredi da mu donesu i čitaju knjigu znamenitih događaja, Ljetopise.
2 Then it was found written that Mordecai had tolde of Bigtana, and Teresh two of the Kings eunuches, keepers of the dore, who sought to lay hands on the King Ahashuerosh.
Tu se nađe zapisano kako je Mordokaj prokazao Bigtanu i Tereša, dva dvoranina kraljeva, čuvare praga, koji su se spremali da podignu ruke na kralja Ahasvera.
3 Then the King sayde, What honour and dignitie hath bene giuen to Mordecai for this? And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, There is nothing done for him.
Kralj upita: "Kakva je čast i kakvo je odlikovanje zapalo Mordokaja za sve to?" Kraljeve sluge, dvorani koji ga slušahu, odgovoriše: "Ništa nije učinjeno za nj."
4 And the King sayde, Who is in the court? (Now Haman was come into the inner court of the Kings house, that he might speake vnto the King to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him.)
Kralj onda zapita: "Tko je u predvorju?" A to u vanjsko predvorje kraljevske palače bijaše stigao Haman da traži od kralja neka objese Mordokaja na vješalima koja su već bila podignuta za nj.
5 And the Kings seruants said vnto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the King sayd, Let him come in.
Službenici kraljevi odgovoriše: "Eno se u predvorju nalazi Haman." "Neka uđe!" - naredi kralj.
6 And when Haman came in, the King saide vnto him, What shalbe done vnto ye man, whom the King will honour? Then Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the King do honour more then to me?
Kako Haman uđe, kralj ga upita: "Što treba učiniti čovjeku koga kralj hoće da počasti?" Haman reče u sebi: "Koga ako ne mene kralj želi počastiti?"
7 And Haman answered the King, The man whome the King would honour,
Zato odgovori kralju: "Za čovjeka koga kralj želi počastiti
8 Let them bring for him royall apparell, which the King vseth to weare, and the horse that the King rideth vpon, and that the crowne royall may be set vpon his head.
treba donijeti kraljevske haljine koje kralj sam oblači i dovesti konja kojega kralj jaše i položiti mu na glavu kraljevsku krunu.
9 And let the raiment and the horse be deliuered by the hand of one of the Kings most noble princes, and let them apparel the man (whome the King will honour) and cause him to ride vpon the horse thorow the streete of the citie, and proclayme before him, Thus shall it be done vnto the man, whome the King will honour.
Haljine i konja neka kralj preda jednome od najuglednijih kneževa kraljevih da bi taj obukao onoga koga kralj želi počastiti i na konju ga odveo na gradski trg uzvikujući pred njim: 'Tako biva onome koga kralj hoće da počasti!'"
10 Then the King said to Haman, Make haste, take the rayment and the horse as thou hast said, and doe so vnto Mordecai the Iewe, that sitteth at the Kings gate: let nothing fayle of all that thou hast spoken.
Kralj nato naredi Hamanu: "Uzmi odmah haljine i konja, kako si rekao, pa učini tako Mordokaju Židovu koji sjedi na kraljevim vratima i ne propusti ništa od onoga što si rekao!"
11 So Haman tooke the rayment and the horse, and arayed Mordecai, and brought him on horse backe thorowe the streete of the citie, and proclaymed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the King will honour.
Haman uze haljine i konja: obuče u haljine Mordokaja i provede ga na konju po trgu grada vičući pred njim: "Tako biva onome koga kralj hoće da počasti!"
12 And Mordecai came againe to the Kings gate, but Haman hasted home mourning and his head couered.
Malo zatim Mordokaj se vrati k vratima kraljevim, a Haman, tužan i zastrte glave, ode žurno kući
13 And Haman tolde Zeresh his wife, and all his friends all that had befallen him. Then sayd his wise men, and Zeresh his wife vnto him, If Mordecai be of the seede of the Iewes, before whom thou hast begunne to fall; thou shalt not preuaile against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
te ispriča Zareši, ženi svojoj, i svima prijateljima svojim što se dogodilo. Njegovi mu savjetnici i žena Zareša rekoše: "Ako Mordokaj, pred kojim si počeo posrtati, pripada židovskom rodu, nećeš ga nadjačati, nego će te on zacijelo oboriti."
14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the Kings eunuches and hasted to bring Haman vnto the banket that Ester had prepared.
Još su o tom razgovarali, kad eto kraljevih dvorana. Došli su tražiti Hamana da ga žurno odvedu na gozbu koju je priredila Estera.
