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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa mohe ʻae tuʻi ʻi he pō ko ia, pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ke ʻomi ʻae tohi fakamatala meʻa fakapuleʻanga: pea naʻe lau ia ʻi hono ʻao.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻi he tohi, naʻe fakahā ʻe Motekiai ʻa Pikitani mo Telesi, ko e ongo tauhi fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe ʻiate kinaua ʻae matapā, ʻaia naʻa na kumi ke lapasi ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Ko e hā ʻae fakaongoongolelei mo e fakahikihiki naʻe fai kia Motekiai ki he meʻa ni?” Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻaia naʻe tauhi ia, “naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa naʻe fai maʻana.”
4 And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Ko hai ʻoku ʻi loto fale?” Pea vakai kuo hoko ange ʻa Hamani ki he fale ʻituʻa ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, ke lea ki he tuʻi ke tautau ʻa Motekiai ki he tautauʻanga naʻa ne teuteu.
5 And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi kiate ia, “Vakai, ko Hamani ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he fale [ʻituʻa].” Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Tuku ke haʻu ia.”
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 thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
Ko ia naʻe hū ange ʻa Hamani. Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku lelei ke fai ki he tangata ʻoku fiefia ʻae tuʻi ke fakaongoongolelei?” Pea naʻe mahalo ʻe Hamani ʻi hono loto, “Ko hai ʻe fiefia ai ʻae tuʻi ke fakaongolelei ʻo lahi hake ʻiate au?”
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Hamani ki he tuʻi, [ʻo pehē], “Ko e tangata ʻoku fiefia ai ʻae tuʻi ke fakaongoongolelei.
8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king [useth] to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
Tuku ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi ʻaia ʻoku faʻa ʻai ʻe he tuʻi, mo e hoosi ʻoku heka ai ʻae tuʻi, mo e tatā fakatuʻi ʻaia ʻoku ʻai ki hono fofonga:
9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man [withal] whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him 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.
Pea tuku ʻae ngaahi kofu ni mo e hoosi ki he nima ʻoe tokotaha ʻoe houʻeiki lahi ʻoe tuʻi, koeʻuhi, ke nau teuʻi ʻaki ia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻoku fiefia ai ʻae tuʻi ke fakahikihiki, pea ʻomi heka hoosi ia ʻi he hala lahi ʻoe kolo, pea lea kalanga ʻi hono ʻao, ‘ʻE fai pehē ki he tangata ʻaia ʻoku loto fiemālie ʻae tuʻi ke fakahikihiki.’”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Hamani, “Fai vave, ʻave ʻae ngaahi kofu mo e hoosi, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ke tala, pea fai pehē pē kia Motekiai ko e Siu, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi: ʻoua naʻa liʻaki ha meʻa siʻi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ke lea ki ai.”
11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
Pea naʻe toʻo ai ʻe Hamani ʻae ngaahi kofu, mo e hoosi, ʻo ne teuʻi ʻa Motekiai, ʻo ne ʻave ia ʻi he heka hoosi ʻi he hala lahi ʻoe kolo, pea naʻe kalanga ʻi hono ʻao, “ʻE fai pehē pe ki he tangata ʻaia ʻoku loto fiemālie ki ai ʻae tuʻi ke fakahikihiki.”
12 And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa Motekiai ki he matapā ʻoe tuʻi. Ka naʻe ʻalu fakavave ʻa Hamani ki hono fale, kuo ʻufiʻufi hono ʻulu.
13 And Haman told 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 [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
Pea naʻe tala ʻe Hamani kia Selesi ko hono uaifi mo hono kāinga kotoa pē ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo hoko kiate ia. Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe heʻene kau tangata poto mo Selesi ko hono uaifi, “Kapau ʻoku ʻi he hako ʻoe kakai Siu ʻa Motekiai, ʻaia ko e ʻao ʻoʻona kuo kamata ai hoʻo hinga, ʻe ʻikai te ke faʻa ikuʻi ia, ka ko e moʻoni te ke hinga ʻi hono ʻao.”
14 And while they [were] yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Pea lolotonga ʻenau kei talanoa mo ia, mo ʻene haʻu ai ʻae kau tauhi fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea fakatoʻotoʻo ke ʻomi ʻa Hamani ki he kātoanga naʻe teu ʻe Eseta.
