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.
Ní òru ọjọ́ náà ọba kò le è sùn; nítorí náà, ó pàṣẹ kí wọn mú ìwé ìrántí wá, àkọsílẹ̀ ìjọba rẹ̀, wọ́n mú un wá wọ́n sì kà á sí létí.
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].
Wọ́n rí àkọsílẹ̀ níbẹ̀ pé Mordekai tí sọ àṣírí Bigitana àti Tereṣi, àwọn ìjòyè ọba méjì tí wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà, tí wọ́n ń gbèrò láti pa ọba Ahaswerusi.
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.”
Ọba béèrè pé, “Kí ni ọlá àti iyì tí Mordekai ti gbà fún èyí?” Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì dáhùn pé, “Kò tí ì sí ohun tí a ṣe fún un.”
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?”
Ọba wí pé, “Ta ni ó wà nínú àgbàlá?” Nísinsin yìí, Hamani ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọ àgbàlá ìta ààfin ni láti sọ fún ọba nípa síso Mordekai lórí igi tí ó ti rì fún un.
5 His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì dáhùn pé, “Hamani ni ó wà níbẹ̀ ó dúró sí inú àgbàlá.” Ọba pàṣẹ pé, “Ẹ mú un wọlé wá.”
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]
Nígbà tí Hamani wọlé, ọba béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ni kí a ṣe fún ọkùnrin tí inú ọba dùn sí láti bu ọlá fún?” Nísinsin yìí Hamani sì ro èyí fúnra rẹ̀ pé, “Ta ni ó wà níbẹ̀ tí ọba fẹ́ dá lọ́lá ju èmi lọ?”
7 So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
Nítorí náà Hamani dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Fún ọkùnrin tí inú ọba dùn sí láti dá lọ́lá,
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.
jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó mú aṣọ ọba èyí tí ọba ń wọ̀ àti ẹṣin tí ọba máa ń gùn, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kan lára adé ọba kí a fi dé e ní orí.
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!’”
Jẹ́ kí a fi aṣọ àti ẹṣin lé ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìjòyè ọba tí ó ga jùlọ lọ́wọ́, kí wọn wọ aṣọ náà fún ọkùnrin tí inú ọba dùn sí láti dá lọ́lá, kí wọn sì sìn ín gun ẹṣin jákèjádò gbogbo ìgboro ìlú, kí wọn máa kéde níwájú rẹ̀ pé, ‘Èyí ni a ṣe fún ọkùnrin náà ẹni tí inú ọba dùn sí láti dá lọ́lá!’”
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!”
Ọba pàṣẹ fún Hamani pé, “Lọ lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà. Mú aṣọ náà àti ẹṣin kí o sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ṣe sọ fún Mordekai ará a Júù, ẹni tí ó jókòó sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ọba. Má ṣe fi ohunkóhun sílẹ̀ nínú ohun tí o ti yàn.”
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!”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Hamani ṣe mú aṣọ àti ẹṣin náà. Ó fi wọ Mordekai, Mordekai sì wà lórí ẹṣin jákèjádò gbogbo ìgboro ìlú, ó sì ń kéde níwájú rẹ̀ pé, “Èyí ni a ó ṣe fún ọkùnrin náà ẹni tí inú ọba dùn sí láti dá lọ́lá!”
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.
Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí Mordekai padà sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ọba. Ṣùgbọ́n Hamani sáré lọ ilé, ó sì bo orí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìbànújẹ́,
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!”
Hamani sì sọ ohun gbogbo tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ sí i fún Sereṣi ìyàwó rẹ̀ àti àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀. Àwọn olùbádámọ̀ràn rẹ̀ àti ìyàwó o rẹ̀ sọ fún un pé, “Níwọ́n ìgbà tí Mordekai ti jẹ́ ẹ̀yà Júù, níwájú ẹni tí ìṣubú rẹ̀ ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, ìwọ kò lè rí ẹ̀yìn in rẹ̀—dájúdájú ìwọ yóò parun!”
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.
Bí wọ́n ṣe ń bá a sọ̀rọ̀, àwọn ìwẹ̀fà ọba wọlé, wọ́n sì kán Hamani lójú láti lọ sí ibi àsè tí Esteri ti pèsè.
