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.
Fia Ahasuerus mete ŋu dɔ alɔ̃ le gbe ma gbe ƒe zã me o, eya ta wòna wotsɔ fiasã la ƒe nyadzɔdzɔgbalẽ, si ku ɖe eƒe dziɖuɖu ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo ŋuti vɛ be woaxlẽ nɛ.
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.
Woke ɖe eŋu le agbalẽ la me be, Bigtan kple Teres, fia la ƒe nyɔnuwo dzi kpɔlawo kple agbonudzɔla eve wowɔ ɖoɖo ɖe Fia Zerzes wuwu ŋuti, eye Mordekai na fia la nya.
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."
Fia la bia eƒe aɖaŋudelawo be, “Nu ka tututue míena Mordekai le nyanyanana sia ta?” Eƒe aɖaŋudelawo ɖo eŋu be, “Womena nanekee o!”
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.
Fia la bia be, “Ame kae le xɔxɔnu afi ma?” Eva eme be Haman va ɖo afi ma teti be yeabia fia la be wòaɖe mɔ na ye yeade ka ve na Mordekai ɖe kadeveti si tum yenɔ la ŋu.
5 The king's servants said to him, "Look, Haman stands in the court." The king said, "Let him come in."
Aɖaŋudelawo ɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Ame si le afi ma lae nye Haman.” Fia la ɖe gbe be, “Miyɔe ɖa.”
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?"
Ale Haman yi fia la gbɔ, eye fia la biae be, “Nu ka woawɔ atsɔ ade bubu ame aɖe si ŋu mekpɔ ŋudzedze tɔxɛ le la?” Tete Haman bu le eƒe ta me be, “Ame ka gɔ̃ ŋu fia la ade bubui ne menye nye ko oa?”
7 Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,
Ale wòɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Hena ame si ƒe nu do dzidzɔ na fia la, eye wòdi be yeade bubu eŋu la,
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.
fia la nana woatsɔ fiawu ado nɛ, wòana wòado fia la ƒe sɔ, woaɖɔ fia la ƒe fiakuku nɛ.
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.'"
Ekema fia la nana woatsɔ fiawu la kple fia la ƒe sɔ la ade asi na fia la ƒe bubume ɖeka. Fia la nana wodoa fiawu la na ame si ƒe nu do dzidzɔ nɛ wòbe yeade bubu eŋu, ekema bubume la anɔ sɔ la ŋgɔ, woato dua ƒe ablɔwo dzi, eye bubume la nanɔ gbeƒã ɖem le eŋgɔ be, ‘Esiae nye nu si wowɔ na ŋutsu si ƒe nu nyo fia la ŋu, eye wòde bubu eŋu.’”
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."
Fia la gblɔ na Haman be, “Enyo ŋutɔ! Ɖe abla nàtsɔ fiawu la kple nye sɔ la, eye nàwɔ nu si nègblɔ la tututu na Mordekai, Yudatɔ, ame si nɔa agboa nu. Wɔ nu sia abe ale si nègblɔe ene la pɛpɛpɛ!”
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."
Ale Haman tsɔ fiawu la do na Mordekai, ena wòdo fia la ŋutɔ ƒe sɔ, eye wòkplɔe to dua ƒe ablɔwo dzi, nɔ ɣli dom le eŋgɔ be, “Esiae nye nu si wowɔ na ŋutsu si ƒe nu nyo fia la ŋu, eye wòde bubu eŋu!”
12 Mordecai came back to the King's Gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Le esia megbe la, Mordekai trɔ yi eƒe dɔwɔƒe, ke Haman ɖe abla yi aƒe me kple nuxaxa blibo.
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."
Egblɔ nu siwo katã va dzɔ ɖe edzi la na srɔ̃a, Zeres kple exɔlɔ̃wo. Eƒe aɖaŋuɖolawo kple srɔ̃a wogblɔ nɛ be, “Zi ale si Mordekai, ame si dzi wò anyidzedze dze egɔme tsoe nye Yudatɔ la, màte ŋu anɔ te ɖe enu o; vavã àtsrɔ̃ godoo!”
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.
Esime woganɔ ŋugble dem tso nya sia ŋu kplii la, fia la ƒe ame dɔdɔawo va kplɔ Haman yi Ester ƒe kplɔ̃ si wòɖo la ŋu.
