< Esther 6 >

1 On that night the sleep of the king has fled away, and he commands to bring in the scroll of memorials of the chronicles, and they are read before the king,
Na rĩrĩ, ũtukũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩũrwo nĩ toro; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩathana areherwo ibuku rĩrĩa rĩandĩkĩtwo maũndũ ma matukũ ma tene, maandĩko marĩa ma wathani wake, rĩrehwo athomerwo.
2 and it is found written that Mordecai had declared concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king, of the keepers of the threshold, who sought to put forth a hand on King Ahasuerus.
Hakĩoneka handĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ warĩo atĩ Moridekai nĩwe woimbũrĩte Bigithana na Tereshu, anene eerĩ a mũthamaki arĩa marangagĩra kĩhingo, o acio maacirĩire kũũraga Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu.
3 And the king says, “What honor and greatness has been done to Mordecai for this?” And the servants of the king, his ministers, say, “Nothing has been done with him.”
Mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ Moridekai aatĩĩirwo naguo na nĩ ũnene ũrĩkũ aaheirwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũcio?” Ndungata ciake ikĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe eekirwo.”
4 And the king says, “Who [is] in the court?” And Haman has come into the outer court of the house of the king, to say to the king to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him.
Mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũrĩ hau nja?” Hamani aakorirwo no hĩndĩ aatoonya nja ya nyũmba ya mũthamaki nĩguo aarie na mũthamaki ũhoro wa gũcuuria Moridekai mũtĩ-igũrũ ũrĩa aathondekithĩtie nĩ ũndũ wake.
5 And the servants of the king say to him, “Behold, Haman is standing in the court”; and the king says, “Let him come in.”
Ndungata ciake ikĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Hamani ũrũgamĩte nja.” Mũthamaki agĩathana atĩrĩ, “Mwĩrei atoonye.”
6 And Haman comes in, and the king says to him, “What should [I] do with the man in whose honor the king has delighted?” And Haman says in his heart, “To whom does the king delight to do honor more than myself?”
Rĩrĩa Hamani aaingĩrire, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũngĩĩkwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia?” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hamani akĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩ mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia tiga niĩ?”
7 And Haman says to the king, “The man in whose honor the king has delighted,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia-rĩ,
8 let them bring in royal clothing that the king has put on himself, and a horse on which the king has ridden, and that the royal crown be put on his head,
nĩ wega wathane atĩ nguo ĩrĩa ndaaya ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa wee mũthamaki wanekĩra ĩrehwo, ningĩ mbarathi ĩrĩa yanakuua mũthamaki ĩrĩa ĩĩkĩrĩtwo tanji ya ũthamaki mũtwe ĩrehwo.
9 and to give the clothing and the horse into the hand of a man of the heads of the king, the chiefs, and they have clothed the man in whose honor the king has delighted, and caused him to ride on the horse in a broad place of the city, and called before him: Thus it is done to the man in whose honor the king has delighted.”
Ningĩ wĩtĩkĩre nguo ĩyo ndaaya, na mbarathi ĩyo, ciĩhokerwo mũndũ ũmwe mũtĩĩku mũno wa anene a mũthamaki. Wĩtĩkĩre ahumbe mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia nguo ĩyo, na amũtongorie athiĩ akuuĩtwo nĩ mbarathi ĩyo kũu njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩu inene, nake mũndũ ũcio athiĩ akĩanagĩrĩra arĩ mbere yake atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo gwĩkagwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia.’”
10 And the king says to Haman, “Hurry, take the clothing and the horse, as you have spoken, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in the gate of the king; there does not fall a thing of all that you have spoken.”
Mũthamaki agĩatha Hamani, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ narua, woe nguo ĩyo na mbarathi ĩyo, na wĩke Moridekai ũcio Mũyahudi o ũguo woiga, o ũcio ũikaraga hau kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki. Ndũgatigĩrĩre ũndũ o na ũmwe wa maũndũ macio mothe wagaathĩrĩria mekwo.”
11 And Haman takes the clothing, and the horse, and clothed Mordecai, and causes him to ride in a broad place of the city, and calls before him, “Thus it is done to the man in whose glory the king has delighted.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hamani akĩoya nguo ĩyo na mbarathi ĩyo. Akĩhumba Moridekai nguo, na akĩmũtongoria ahaicĩte mbarathi njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩu inene, akĩanagĩrĩra mbere yake atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo gwĩkagwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia!”
12 And Mordecai turns back to the gate of the king, and Haman has been hurried to his house mourning, and with covered head,
Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, Moridekai agĩcooka kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki. No Hamani akĩguthũka gwake mũciĩ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ kĩeha,
13 and Haman recounts to his wife Zeresh, and to all his friends, all that has met him, and his wise men and his wife Zeresh say to him, “If Mordecai [is] of the seed of the Jews, before whom you have begun to fall, you are not able for him, but certainly fall before him.”
akĩĩra Zereshu mũtumia wake na arata ake othe maũndũ marĩa mothe maamũkorete. Andũ arĩa maamũtaaraga, o na Zereshu mũtumia wake, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo Moridekai ũcio wambĩrĩria gũgũtooria nĩ wa kĩhumo kĩa Ayahudi-rĩ, ndũngĩmwĩtiiria, na ti-itherũ nĩũgũthira!”
14 They are yet speaking with him, and eunuchs of the king have come, and hurry to bring in Haman to the banquet that Esther has made.
Ihinda o ro rĩu maaragia nake, ndungata iria ciarĩ hakũre cia mũthamaki igĩkinya, na igĩtwara Hamani na ihenya iruga-inĩ rĩrĩa Esiteri aamarugithĩirie.
