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.
Saa anadwo no, ɔhene no antumi anna, nti ɔmaa ɔsomfo bi kɔfaa nʼahemman mu abakɔsɛm nkrataa bae sɛ wɔnkenkan nkyerɛ no.
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.
Ohuu sɛnea Mordekai kɔdaa pɔwbɔ bi adi, nea Bigtana ne Teres a na wɔyɛ piamfo baanu a na wɔwɛn ɔhene no apon ano no pamee wɔ nkrataa no mu. Wɔpam ɔhene no ti so sɛ wobekum no.
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."
Ɔhene no bisae se, “Dɛn akatua anaa nkae ade bɛn na wɔde ama Mordekai wɔ eyi ho?” Asomfo no buae se, “Wɔnyɛɛ hwee mmaa no ɛ.”
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.
Ɔhene no bisae se, “Hena na ɔhyɛ akyi hɔ adiwo hɔ no?” Ɛbae sɛ, na afei na Haman abedu ahemfi adiwo a ɛwɔ akyi hɔ no a ɔrebɛka akyerɛ ɔhene no, na wasɛn Mordekai wɔ dua a wasi no so.
5 The king's servants said to him, "Look, Haman stands in the court." The king said, "Let him come in."
Nʼasomfo no buaa ɔhene no se, “Haman na ɔhyɛ hɔ.” Ɔhene no kae se, “Momfa no mmra mu.”
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?"
Enti Haman kɔɔ mu, maa ɔhene no bisae se, “Dɛn na menyɛ mfa nhyɛ ɔbarima a nokware, ɔsɔ mʼani no anuonyam?” Haman bisaa ne ho se, “Hena na ɔfata sɛ ɔhene hyɛ no anuonyam sen me?”
7 Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,
Enti obuae se, “Sɛ ɔhene pɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ obi anuonyam a,
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.
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nʼankasa ahentade mu baako ne nʼankasa pɔnkɔ a adehye nsɛnkyerɛnne bɔ ne moma so no ba.
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.'"
Ka kyerɛ mmapɔmma no mu baako a odi mu yiye, na ɔmfa ahentade nhyɛ no, na onni nʼanim mfa no mmra aguabɔbea hɔ a ɔte ɔhene no ankasa pɔnkɔ so. Ɛsɛ sɛ mmapɔmma no gye no akurum se, ‘Saa na ɔhene yɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn anuonyam no!’”
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."
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Haman se, “Eye koraa! Ka wo ho kɔfa ahentade no ne me pɔnkɔ no, na yɛ sɛnea wopɛ sɛ woyɛ no ma Yudani Mordekai a ɔte ahemfi pon ano no. Mma wo werɛ mmfi sɛ wobɛyɛ biribiara a woaka ho asɛm no.”
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."
Enti Haman faa ahentade no de hyɛɛ Mordekai, de no tenaa Ɔhene no ankasa pɔnkɔ so, de no kɔɔ kurow no aguabɔbea hɔ a na ɔpae di nʼanim se, “Saa na ɔhene yɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn anuonyam no.”
12 Mordecai came back to the King's Gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Akyiri no, Mordekai san kɔɔ ahemfi hɔ pon no ano, na Haman de ɔyaw a ano yɛ den ne aniwu yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ fie.
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."
Bere a Haman bɔɔ ne yere Seres ne ne nnamfonom nyinaa amanneɛ no, wɔkae se, “Esiane sɛ Mordekai a oguu wʼanim ase yi yɛ Yudani nti, nhyehyɛe biara a wobɛyɛ atia no no renyɛ yiye. Sɛ wotoa so tia no a, ɛbɛkɔ no bɔne ama wo.”
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.
Bere a wogu so rekasa no, ɔhene piamfo no bae sɛ wɔrebɛfa Haman akɔ Ɛster aponto a wasiesie no ase.
