< Esther 6 >

1 That night the king was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of them to the king.
I A po, aole i hiki i ke alii ke hiamoe, a kauoha ae la ia e laweia mai ka buke mooolelo o na oihana; a heluheluia ia imua o ke alii.
2 [The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
A loaa iho la ka palapala o ko Moredekai hai ana no Bigetana, a me Teresa, na luna elua o ke alii i kiai ai i ka puka, a imi i wahi e hiki ai, ke kau i ka lima maluna o ke alii o Ahasuero.
3 The king asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything for him.”
Ninau ae ke alii, Heaha ka mea maikai, a me ka mea nui i hanaia'i ia Moredekai, no keia mea? I aku la na kauwa a ke alii i ka poe i lawelawe nana, Aohe mea i hanaia nona.
4 At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
Ninau ae la ke alii, Owai la ma ka pahale? Ua hiki mai o Hamana ma ka pahale mawaho o ka hale o ke alii e olelo i ke alii, e liia o Moredekai ma ke olokea ana i hoomakaukau ai nona.
5 His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
I aku la na kauwa a ke alii ia ia, Aia, ke ku mai la o Hamana ma ka pahale. I mai la ke alii, E hele mai la iloko.
6 When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
Alaila, komo aku la o Hamana. Ninau mai la ke alii ia ia, Heaha ka mea e hanaia'i no ke kanaka a ke alii e manao nei e hoohanohano? Nalu iho la o Hamana maloko o kona naau, Owai ka mea a ke alii e makemake nei e hoohanohano, aoleanei owau?
7 So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
I aku la o Hamana i ka alii, No ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake nei e hoohanohano,
8 you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
E laweia mai ka lole alii a ke alii i komo ai, a me ka lio a ke alii i holoholo ai, a me ka leialii i hooleiia'i kona poo;
9 Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants to honor!’”
A e haawiia ua lole la, a me ka lio i ka lima o kekahi o na'lii koikoi o ke alii, i hoaahu ai lakou i ke kanaka a ke alii i makemake ai e hoohano, a e hooholo lakou ia ia maluna o ka lio ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale, a e kala aku mamua ona, Pela e hanaia'i ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake ai e hoolanilani.
10 The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you suggested!”
Alaila, olelo mai la ke alii ia Hamana, E wikiwiki oe, e lawe i ka lole, a me ka lio, me au i olelo ai, a e hana aku oe pela ia Moredekai, i ka Iudaio, ka mea e noho la ma ka pukapa o ke alii. Mai hoohaule i kekahi o na mea a pau au i olelo mai nei.
11 So Haman did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants to honor!”
Alaila, lawe o Hamana i ka lole a me ka lio, a hoaahu iho la ia Moredekai, a hooholo ae la ia ia maluna o ka lio, ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale, a kala aku la imua ona, Pela no e hanaia mai ai i ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake ai e hoohanohano.
12 Then, Mordecai returned [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
Hele hou aku la o Moredekai i ka pukapa o ke alii; aka, o Hamana, wikiwiki ae la ia i kona hale, me ke kaniuhu, a ua pulouia kona poo.
13 He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
Hai aku la o Hamana i kana wahine ia Zeresa, a i kona poe makamaka a pau i na mea a pau i loaa ai ia ia. Alaila, olelo mai la ia ia kona poe kanaka akamai, a me kana wahine o Zeresa, Ina no ka hanauna Iudaio o ua Moredekai la, a ua haule oe imua ona i keia wa, aole no oe e lanakihi maluna one, aka, e oiaio no, e haule no oe imua ona.
14 And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther had prepared.
A ia lakou e kamailio pu ana me ia, hiki ae la na luna o ke alii, a wikiwiki lakou e lawe aku ia Hamana i ka ahainu a Esetera i hoomakaukau ai.
