Esther 6
1 On that night could not the king sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.
Господь же отя сон от царя в нощи оней. И повеле рабу своему принести книги памятныя дний прочитати ему:
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, of those that kept the door, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
и обрете писания написанная о Мардохеи, како поведа царю о двою евнуху царскую, внегда стрещи има, и умыслиста убити (царя) Артаксеркса.
3 And the king said: 'What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this?' Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him: 'There is nothing done for him.'
И рече царь: кую славу или благодать сотворихом Мардохею? И рекоша отроцы царевы: ничтоже сотворил еси ему?
4 And the king said: 'Who is in the court?' — Now Haman was come into the outer court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. —
Вопрошающу же царю о благодеянии Мардохеове, се, Аман прииде во двор, и рече царь: кто есть во дворе? Аман же прииде рещи цареви, да повесит Мардохеа на древе, еже уготова.
5 And the king's servants said unto him: 'Behold, Haman standeth in the court.' And the king said: 'Let him come in.'
И рекоша отроцы царевы: се, Аман стоит во дворе. И рече царь: призовите его.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him: 'What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour?' — Now Haman said in his heart: 'Whom would the king delight to honour besides myself?' —
И рече царь Аману: что сотворю мужу, егоже аз хощу прославити? Рече же в себе Аман: кого хощет царь прославити, разве мене?
7 And Haman said unto the king: 'For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
Рече же царю: мужа, егоже хощет царь прославити,
8 let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on whose head a crown royal is set;
да принесут отроцы царевы одежду виссонную, еюже царь облачается, и коня, на немже царь ездит,
9 and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honour, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him: Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.'
и да дастся единому от другов царевых славных, и да облечет мужа, егоже царь любит, и да посадит его на коня и проповесть на улицах града, глаголя: тако будет всякому человеку, егоже царь прославит.
10 Then the king said to Haman: 'Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate; let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.'
И рече царь Аману: добре рекл еси: тако сотвори Мардохею Иудеанину, угодно служащему во дворе (нашем), и да не изменится слово твое от сих, яже рекл еси.
11 Then took Haman 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 unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.'
И взя Аман одежду и коня, и облече Мардохеа, и возведе его на коня, и пройде по улицам града, и проповедаше (пред ним), глаголя: сице будет всякому человеку, егоже хощет цар прославити.
12 And Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
И возвратися Мардохеи во двор (царев): Аман же иде в дом свой скорбя преклонив главу.
13 And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him: 'If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.'
И сказа Аман случившаяся ему Зосаре жене своей и другом своим. И реша ему друзие его и жена: аще от племене Иудейскаго Мардохей, начал еси смирятися пред ним, падая падеши, и не возможеши ему отмстити, яко Бог живый есть с ним.
14 While they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hastened to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
И еще глаголющым им, приидоша евнуси, спешно зовуще Амана на пир, егоже уготова Есфирь.
