Esther 6
1 On that night, the king couldn't sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.
I taua po kihai i moe te kingi, a ka mea kia kawea mai te pukapuka whakamahara ki nga meatanga o nga ra. Na ka korerotia ki te aroaro o te kingi.
2 It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Achashyerosh.
Na ka kitea, kua oti te tuhituhi te whakaatu a Mororekai mo Pikitana raua ko Terehe, mo nga rangatira ruma tokorua a te kingi, he kaitiaki tetau, i whai raua kia pa te ringa ki a Kingi Ahahueruha.
3 The king said, "What honor and dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."
Na ka mea te kingi, He aha te honore, te kororia, i whiwhi ai a Mororekai mo tenei? Ano ra ko nga tangata a te kingi i mahi nei ki a ia, Kihai tetahi mea i meatia ki a ia.
4 The king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king's house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Na ka mea te kingi, Ko wai kei te marae? Na tera a Hamana kua tae mai ki te marae o waho o te whare o te kingi, ki te korero ki te kingi, kia taronatia a Mororekai ki runga ki te tarawa kua oti te hanga mona.
5 The king's servants said to him, "Look, Haman stands in the court." The king said, "Let him come in."
Na ka mea nga tangata a te kingi ki a ia, Ko Hamana tenei e tu mai nei i te marae. Ano ra ko te kingi, Kia haere mai ia.
6 So Haman came in. The king said to him, "What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman said in his heart, "Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?"
Heoi ka haere mai a Hamana. Na ka mea te kingi ke a ia, Ko te aha kia meatia ki ta te kingi tangata e pai ai kia whakahonoretia? Na ko te meatanga ake a Hamana i roto i tona ngakau, Ko wai atu i ahau ta te kingi e pai ai kia whakahonoretia?
7 Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,
Na ka mea a Hamana ki te kingi, Mo ta te kingi tangata e pai ai kia whakahonoretia,
8 let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a crown royal is set.
Me kawe mai nga kakahu kingi, e kakahu nei te kingi me te hoiho ano e ekengia ana e te kingi, potae rawa he karauna kingi ki tona matenga;
9 And let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble officials, and let him clothe the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, 'Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.'"
Na ka hoatu taua kakahu me te hoiho ke te ringa o tetahi o nga tino rangatira a te kingi, kia whakakakahuria atu ki te tangata e pai ai te kingi kia whakahonoretia; na ka mea i a ia kia eke i runga i te hoiho i te waharoa o te pa, ka karanga haer e ai i mua i a ia, Ka peneitia te tangata e pai ai te kingi kia whakahonoretia.
10 Then the king said to Haman, "Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the King's Gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken."
Katahi ka mea te kingi ki a Hamana, Kia hohoro tau tiki atu i te kakahu, i te hoiho, i tau i ki na, ka pera ai ki a Mororekai, ki te Hurai, e noho nei i te kuwaha o te kingi. Kei taka tetahi kupu o nga mea katoa i korerotia e koe.
11 Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor."
Katahi ka tikina e Hamana te kakahu, me te hoiho, a whakakakahuria ana e ia a Mororekai, arahina ana i runga i te hoiho i te waharoa o te pa, me te karanga ano i tona aroaro, Ka peneitia te tangata e pai ai te kingi kia whakahonoretia.
12 Mordecai came back to the King's Gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Na hoki ana a Mororekai ki te kuwaha o te kingi; ko Hamana ia i hohoro ki tona whare, pouri tonu, hipoki rawa te mahunga.
13 Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him."
Na ka korerotia e Hamana ki tana wahine, ki a Herehe, ki ona hoa katoa nga mea katoa i pa ki a ia. Katahi ana tangata mohio, ratou ko tana wahine, ko Herehe, ka mea ki a ia, Ki te mea no nga uri o nga Hurai a Mororekai, kua timata na koe te hing a i tona aroaro, e kore koe e kaha i a ia, engari ka hinga rawa koe i tona aroaro.
14 While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
I a ratou e korero ana ki a ia, ka tae mai nga rangatira ruma a te kingi, porangi tonu, hei arahi mo Hamana ki te hakari i taka e Ehetere.
