< 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,
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 servants of the king say to him, “Behold, Haman is standing in the court”; and the king says, “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 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?”
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 says to the king, “The man in whose honor the king has delighted,
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Hamani ki he tuʻi, [ʻo pehē], “Ko e tangata ʻoku fiefia ai ʻae tuʻi ke fakaongoongolelei.
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,
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 turns back to the gate of the king, and Haman has been hurried to his house mourning, and with covered head,
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 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.”
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 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.
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.
