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.
Saa anadwo no, ɔhene no antumi anna, nti ɔmaa ɔsomfo bi kɔfaa nʼahemman mu abakɔsɛm nkrataa bae sɛ wɔnkenkan nkyerɛ no.
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.
Ohuu sɛnea Mordekai kɔdaa pɔwbɔ bi adi, nea Bigtana ne Teres a na wɔyɛ piamfo baanu a na wɔwɛn ɔhene no apon ano no pamee wɔ nkrataa no mu. Wɔpam ɔhene no ti so sɛ wobekum no.
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.
Ɔhene no bisae se, “Dɛn akatua anaa nkae ade bɛn na wɔde ama Mordekai wɔ eyi ho?” Asomfo no buae se, “Wɔnyɛɛ hwee mmaa no ɛ.”
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.
Ɔhene no bisae se, “Hena na ɔhyɛ akyi hɔ adiwo hɔ no?” Ɛbae sɛ, na afei na Haman abedu ahemfi adiwo a ɛwɔ akyi hɔ no a ɔrebɛka akyerɛ ɔhene no, na wasɛn Mordekai wɔ dua a wasi no so.
5 And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
Nʼasomfo no buaa ɔhene no se, “Haman na ɔhyɛ hɔ.” Ɔhene no kae se, “Momfa no mmra mu.”
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?
Enti Haman kɔɔ mu, maa ɔhene no bisae se, “Dɛn na menyɛ mfa nhyɛ ɔbarima a nokware, ɔsɔ mʼani no anuonyam?” Haman bisaa ne ho se, “Hena na ɔfata sɛ ɔhene hyɛ no anuonyam sen me?”
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,
Enti obuae se, “Sɛ ɔhene pɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ obi anuonyam a,
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:
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nʼankasa ahentade mu baako ne nʼankasa pɔnkɔ a adehye nsɛnkyerɛnne bɔ ne moma so no ba.
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.
Ka kyerɛ mmapɔmma no mu baako a odi mu yiye, na ɔmfa ahentade nhyɛ no, na onni nʼanim mfa no mmra aguabɔbea hɔ a ɔte ɔhene no ankasa pɔnkɔ so. Ɛsɛ sɛ mmapɔmma no gye no akurum se, ‘Saa na ɔhene yɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn anuonyam no!’”
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.
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Haman se, “Eye koraa! Ka wo ho kɔfa ahentade no ne me pɔnkɔ no, na yɛ sɛnea wopɛ sɛ woyɛ no ma Yudani Mordekai a ɔte ahemfi pon ano no. Mma wo werɛ mmfi sɛ wobɛyɛ biribiara a woaka ho asɛm no.”
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.
Enti Haman faa ahentade no de hyɛɛ Mordekai, de no tenaa Ɔhene no ankasa pɔnkɔ so, de no kɔɔ kurow no aguabɔbea hɔ a na ɔpae di nʼanim se, “Saa na ɔhene yɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn anuonyam no.”
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
Akyiri no, Mordekai san kɔɔ ahemfi hɔ pon no ano, na Haman de ɔyaw a ano yɛ den ne aniwu yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ fie.
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.
Bere a Haman bɔɔ ne yere Seres ne ne nnamfonom nyinaa amanneɛ no, wɔkae se, “Esiane sɛ Mordekai a oguu wʼanim ase yi yɛ Yudani nti, nhyehyɛe biara a wobɛyɛ atia no no renyɛ yiye. Sɛ wotoa so tia no a, ɛbɛkɔ no bɔne ama wo.”
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.
Bere a wogu so rekasa no, ɔhene piamfo no bae sɛ wɔrebɛfa Haman akɔ Ɛster aponto a wasiesie no ase.
