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,
Naquela mesma noite fugiu o sono do rei: então mandou trazer o livro das memórias das crônicas, e se leram diante do rei.
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.
E achou-se escrito que mardoqueu tinha dado notícia de Bigthan e de Teres, dois eunucos do rei, dos da guarda da porta, que procuraram pôr as mãos no rei Assuero.
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.”
Então disse o rei: Que honra e magnificência se fez por isto a mardoqueu? E os mancebos do rei, seus servos, disseram: Coisa nenhuma se lhe fez.
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.
Então disse o rei: Quem está no pátio? E Haman tinha entrado no pátio exterior do rei, para dizer ao rei que enforcassem a mardoqueu na forca que lhe tinha preparado.
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.”
E os mancebos do rei lhe disseram: Eis que Haman está no pátio. E disse o rei que entrasse.
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?”
E, entrando Haman, o rei lhe disse: Que se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada? Então Haman disse no seu coração: De quem se agradará o rei para lhe fazer honra mais do que a mim?
7 And Haman says to the king, “The man in whose honor the king has delighted,
Pelo que disse Haman ao rei: O homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada,
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,
Traga o vestido real de que o rei se costuma vestir, como também o cavalo em que o rei costuma andar montado, e ponha-se-lhe a coroa real na sua cabeça;
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.”
E entregue-se o vestido e o cavalo, à mão dum dos príncipes do rei, dos maiores senhores, e vistam dele aquele homem de cuja honra se agrada: e levem-no a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregôe-se diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
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.”
Então disse o rei a Haman: Apressa-te, toma o vestido e o cavalo, como disseste, e faze assim para com o judeu mardoqueu, que está assentado à porta do rei; e coisa nenhuma deixes cair de tudo quanto disseste.
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.”
E Haman tomou o vestido e o cavalo, e vestiu a mardoqueu, e o levou a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregoou diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
12 And Mordecai turns back to the gate of the king, and Haman has been hurried to his house mourning, and with covered head,
Depois disto mardoqueu voltou para a porta do rei: porém Haman se retirou correndo a sua casa, anojado, e coberta a cabeça.
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.”
E contou Haman a Zeres, sua mulher, e a todos os seus amigos, tudo quanto lhe tinha sucedido. Então os seus sábios, e Zeres, sua mulher, lhe disseram: Se mardoqueu, diante de quem já começaste a cair, é da semente dos judeus, não prevalecerás contra ele, antes certamente cairás perante ele.
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.
Estando eles ainda falando com ele, chegaram os eunucos do rei, e se apressaram a levar Haman ao banquete que Esther preparara.
