Esther 6
1 In that night sleep fled from the king, and he ordered to bring in the book of the memorable events of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
その夜王ねむること能はざりければ命じて日々の事を記せる記録の書を持きたらしめ王の前にこれを読しめけるに
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Theresh, two chamberlains of the king, of those who kept the door, who had sought to lay [their] hand on king Achashverosh.
モルデカイ曾て王の侍從の二人戸を守る者なるビグタンとテレシがアハシユエロス王を殺さんと謀れるを告たりと記せるに遇ふ
3 And the king said, What honor and distinction have been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's young men, his servants, There hath nothing been done with him.
王すなはち言けるは之がために何の榮誉と爵位をモルデカイにあたへしや 王に事ふる臣僕等こたへて何をも彼にあたへしこと無しといへり
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outer court of the king's house, to say unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.
ここにおいて王誰ぞ庭にあるやと問ふ この時ハマンは己がモルデカイのために設けたる木にモルデカイを懸ることを王に奏せんとして已に王の家の外庭に來りて居る
5 And the king's young men said unto him, Behold, Haman is standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
王の臣僕等王につげてハマン庭に立をると言ければ王かれをして入來らしめよと言ふ
6 So Haman came in; and the king said unto him, What shall be done with the man whom the king desireth to honor? And Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king desire to do honor more than to myself?
ハマンやがて入きたりしに王かれにいひけるは王の尊とばんと欲する人には如何になさば善らんかとマン心におもひけるは王の尊ばんとずる者は我にあらずして誰ぞやと
7 Haman therefore said to the king, [For] the man whom the king desireth to honor,
ハマンすなはち王にいひけるは王の尊ばんと欲する人のためには
8 Let them bring a royal apparel which the king hath worn, and a horse on which the king hath ridden, and let there be placed a royal crown on his head.
王の着たまへる衣服を携さへ來らしめかつ王の乗たまへる馬即ちその頭に王の冠冕を戴ける馬をひき來らしめ
9 And let the apparel and the horse be given into the hand of one of the king's princes, of the most noble, that they may array the man whom the king desireth to honor, and let them cause him to ride on the horse through the streets of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall be done to the man whom the king desireth to honor.
これを王の最も貴とき一人の牧伯の手にわたし王の尊ばんとする人に其衣服を衣せしめこれを馬にのせて邑の街衢をみちびき通り 王の尊とばんと欲する人には是のごとくなすべしと呼はらしむべし
10 Then said the king to Haman, Make haste, take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast spoken, and do thus to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: leave out nothing of all that thou hast spoken.
王ハマンに言けるは急ぎなんぢが言しごとくその衣服と馬とを取り王の門に坐するユダヤ人モルデカイに斯なせよ なんぢが言しところを一も欠こと無らしめよ
11 And Haman then took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the streets of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall be done unto the man whom the king desireth to honor.
ここにおいてハマン衣服と馬とを取りモルデカイにその衣服を着せ彼をして邑の街衢を乗とほらしめその前に呼はりて云ふ王の尊ばんと欲する人には是のごとくなすべしと
12 And Mordecai thereupon returned to the king's gate; but Haman hastened to his house, mourning, and having his head covered.
かくてモルデカイは王の門にかへりたりしがハマンは愁へなやみ首をおほふておのれの家にはしりゆき
13 And Haman related to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends all that had befallen him: then said unto him his wise men and Zeresh his wife, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou wilt not prevail against him, but thou wilt surely fall before him.
しかしてハマンおのが邁る事をことごとくその妻ゼレシとその朋友等に告げるにその智者等およびその妻ゼレシかれに言けるは 彼のモルデカイすなはちなんぢがその前に敗れはじめたる者もしユダヤ人ならば汝これに勝ことを得じ必らずその前にやぶれんと
14 They were yet speaking with him, when the king's chamberlains arrived, and they hastened to bring Haman unto the banquet which Esther had prepared.
かれら尚ハマンとものいひをる間に王の侍從きたりてハマンをうながしエステルが設けたる酒宴にのぞましむ
