Esther 6
1 That night the king could not sleep. He commanded servants to bring the records of the events of his reign, and they were being read aloud to the king.
Ону ноћ не могаше цар спавати, и заповеди те му донесоше књигу од знаменитих догађаја, дневнике, те је читаше цару.
2 It was found recorded there that Mordecai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officials who guarded the entrance, who had tried to harm King Ahasuerus.
И нађе се записано како је Мардохеј проказао за Вихтана и Тереса, два дворанина, који чуваху стражу на прагу, да гледају да дигну руке на цара Асвира.
3 The king asked, “What was done to give honor or recognition to Mordecai for doing this?” Then the king's young men who served him said, “Nothing was done for him.”
Тада рече цар: Каква је част и како је добро учињено Мардохеју за то? А момци цареви, слуге његове, рекоше: Није му учињено ништа.
4 The king said, “Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had entered the outer courtyard of the king's house to speak to him about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he set up for him.
А цар рече: Ко је у трему? А Аман беше дошао у спољашњи трем двора царевог да каже цару да се обеси Мардохеј на вешала која му је приправио.
5 The king's servants said to him, “Haman is standing in the courtyard.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
А момци цареви рекоше му: Гле, Аман стоји у трему. А цар рече: Нека дође.
6 When Haman entered, the king said to him, “What should be done for the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Whom would the king take pleasure in honoring more than me?”
И Аман дође, а цар му рече: Шта треба учинити човеку ког цар хоће да прослави? А Аман рече у себи: Кога би цар хтео прославити ако не мене?
7 Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring,
И рече Аман цару: Кога цар хоће да прослави,
8 let royal robes be brought, robes that the king has worn, and a horse that the king has ridden and on whose head is the royal crest.
Треба донети царско одело које цар носи, и довести коња на коме цар јаше, и метнути му на главу венац царски;
9 Then let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring, and let them lead him on the horse through the city streets. Let them proclaim before him, 'This is what is done to the one whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!'”
И одело и коња треба дати коме између највећих кнезова царевих да обуку човека оног ког цар хоће да прослави, па да га проведу на коњу по улицама градским и вичу пред њим: Овако бива човеку кога цар хоће да прослави.
10 Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Do not fail in a single matter of what you have said.”
Тада рече цар Аману: Брже узми одело и коња као што рече, и учини тако Мардохеју, Јудејцу који седи на вратима царевим; немој изоставити ништа што си рекао.
11 Then Haman took the robe and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and led him on the horse through the city streets. He proclaimed before him, “This is what is done for a man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!”
И узе Аман одело и коња, и обуче Мардохеја и проведе га на коњу по улицама градским вичући пред њим: Овако бива човеку кога цар хоће да прослави.
12 Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning, with his head covered.
Потом се врати Мардохеј на врата царева, а Аман брже отиде кући својој жалостан и покривене главе.
13 Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that happened to him. Then his men who were known for their wisdom, and Zeresh his wife, said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is Jewish, you will not overcome him, but you will certainly fall before him.”
И приповеди Аман Сереси, жени својој и свим пријатељима својим све што му се догоди. Тада му рекоше мудраци његови и Сереса жена његова: Кад је од јудејског семена Мардохеј пред којим си почео падати, нећеш му одолети, него ћеш пасти пред њим.
14 While they were talking with him, the king's officials arrived. They hurried to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared.
И док они још говораху с њим, дођоше дворани цареви и брже одведоше Амана на обед који зготови Јестира.
