< Esther 6 >

1 In that night the king could not sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
त्यस रात राजा सुत्‍न सकेनन् । तिनले सेवकहरूलाई आफ्नो राज्‍यकालका घटनाहरूको विवरणहरू ल्याउन हुकुम गरे, र राजाको सामु चर्को सोरमा ति पढियो ।
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had informed of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
प्रवेशद्वारको पहरा दिने राजाका दुई जना अधिकारी बिग्थाना र तेरेशले राजा अहासूरसलाई हानि गर्ने कोसिस गरेका कुरा मोर्दकैले जानकरी गराएका थिए भनी त्‍यहाँ लेखिएको पाइयो ।
3 And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered to him, There is nothing done for him.
राजाले सोधे, “यसो गरेका हुनाले मोर्दकैलाई सम्मान वा पद दिन के गरियो त?” तब राजाको सेवा गर्ने जवान मानिसहरूले जवाफ दिए, “तिनको लागि केही गरिएन ।”
4 And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman had come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
राजाले भने, “चोकमा को छ?” अब हामानचाहिं भर्खरै आफूले तयार गरेको फाँसीको काठमा मोर्दकैलाई झुण्ड्याउन भनी राजासित बिन्ती गर्न राजदरबारको बाहिर चोकमा आइपुगेका थिए ।
5 And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
राजाका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हामान चोकमा उभिरहेका छन् ।” राजाले भने, “तिनी भित्र आऊन् ।”
6 So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?
जब हामान भित्र आए, तब राजाले तिनलाई सोधे, “राजाले सम्मान दिन इच्छा गरेको मानिसलाई के गरिनुपर्छ?” हामानले आफ्नो हृदयमा भने, “मबाहेक अरू कसलाई राजाले सम्मान दिने इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ र?”
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,
हामानले राजालाई भने, “जुन मानिसलाई राजाले सम्मान दिन इच्छा गर्नुभएको छ,
8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king [useth] to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
राजाकीय पोशाक, राजाले पहिरिनुभएको वस्‍त्र अनि राजाले सवार गर्नुभएको शिरमा राजकीय चिन्ह लगाइएको घोडा ल्‍याइयोस् ।
9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delighteth to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.
तब त्यो पोशाक र घोडा राजाका सबैभन्दा माननीय अधिकारीहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई दिइयोस् । राजाले सम्मान गर्न खोज्नुभएको मानिसलाई तिनीहरूले त्यो पोशाक पहिराऊन्, र तिनलाई घोडामा सवार गराएर सहरका सडकहरू घुमाऊन् । तिनीहरूले तिनको सामु घोषणा गरून्, 'राजाले सम्मान गर्ने इच्छा गर्नुभएको मानिसलाई यसै गरिन्छ' ।”
10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, [and] take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
तब राजाले हामानलाई भने, “छिटो गर, तिमीले भनेझैँ पोशाक र घोडा लिएर आऊ, अनि राजाको ढाकामा बस्‍ने यहूदी मोर्दकैलाई यसै गर । तिमीले भनेका एउटै कुरा गर्न पनि नचुक ।”
11 Then Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.
तब हामानले पोशाक र घोडा ल्‍याए । तिनले मोर्दकैलाई उक्‍त पोशाक लगाइदिए, र तिनलाई घोडामा सवार गराएर सहरका सडकहरूमा घुमाए । तिनको सामु तिनले घोषणा गरे, “राजाले सम्मान गर्न इच्छा गर्नुभएको मानिसलाई यसै गरिन्छ ।”
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
मोर्दकै राजाको ढोकामा फर्के । तर हामानचाहिं शिर ढाकेर शोक गर्दै हतार गरी आफ्नो घरमा गए ।
13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai [is] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou wilt not prevail against him, but wilt surely fall before him.
हामानले आफूमाथि आइपरेका सबै कुरा आफ्नी पत्‍नी जेरेश र आफ्ना सबै मित्रहरूलाई बताए । तब बुद्धिको निम्ति कहलिएका तिनका मानिसहरू र तिनकी पत्‍नी जेरेशले तिनलाई भने, “मोर्दकै जसको सामुन्‍ने तपाईंको पतनको सुरु भएको छ, त्यो यहूदी हो भने तपाईंले त्यसलाई पराजित गर्न सक्‍नुहुनेछैन, तर निश्‍चय नै त्यसको सामु तपाईं पतन हुनेछ ।”
14 And while they [were] yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
तिनीहरू तिनीसित कुराकानी गरिरहँदा राजाका अधिकारीहरू आइपुगे । एस्तरले तयार पारेको भोजमा लैजान तिनीहरूले हामानलाई हतार गरे ।
