Esther 6
1 In the night that it fled [the] sleep of the king and he said to bring [the] book of the reminders [the] words of the days and they were read aloud before the king.
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.
2 And it was found recorded that he had told Mordecai on Bigthana and Teresh two of [the] eunuchs of the king from [the] guards of the threshold who they had sought to stretch out a hand on the king Ahasuerus.
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 Ahasuerus.
3 And he said the king what? has it been done honor and greatness for Mordecai on this and they said [the] young men of the king servants his not it was done with him anything.
The king said, “What honour and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
4 And he said the king who? [is] in the court and Haman he had come to [the] court of [the] house of the king outer to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.
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.
5 And they said [the] servants of the king to him there! Haman [is] standing in the court and he said the king let him come.
The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
6 And he came Haman and he said to him the king what? [is] to do for the man whom the king he delights in honor his and he said Haman in heart his to whom? will he delight the king to do honor excess more than me.
So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honour more than myself?”
7 And he said Haman to the king a man whom the king he delights in honor his.
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honour,
8 Let people bring clothing of royalty which he has worn on him the king and a horse which he has ridden on it the king and which it has been put a head-dress of royalty on head its.
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 royal crown is set.
9 And let them put the clothing and the horse on [the] hand of a man one of [the] officials of the king the nobles and they will clothe the man whom the king he delights in honor his and they will make ride him on the horse in [the] open place of the city and they will proclaim before him thus it will be done for the man whom the king he delights in honor his.
Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honour with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!’”
10 And he said the king to Haman hurry take the clothing and the horse just as you have said and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits at [the] gate of the king may not you make fall a word from all that you have said.
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.”
11 And he took Haman the clothing and the horse and he clothed Mordecai and he made ride him in [the] open place of the city and he proclaimed before him thus it will be done for the man whom the king he delights in honor his.
Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!”
12 And he returned Mordecai to [the] gate of the king and Haman he hurried himself to house his mourning and covered of head.
Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13 And he recounted Haman to Zeresh wife his and to all friends his all that it had happened to him and they said to him wise [men] his and Zeresh wife his if [is] one of [the] offspring of the Jews Mordecai whom you have begun to fall before him not you will prevail to him for certainly you will fall before him.
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.”
14 Still they [were] speaking with him and [the] eunuchs of the king they arrived and they made haste to bring Haman to the feast which she had prepared Esther.
While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
