Esther 6
1 On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.
Nʼabalị ahụ, ụra abịaghị eze nʼanya ma ọlị. Nʼihi ya, o metụrụ ya nʼobi ịgụ akwụkwọ ihe ncheta. Ya mere, o nyere iwu ka e wetara ya akwụkwọ a na-edekọta ihe niile e mere nʼoge ọchịchị ya.
2 It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
Nʼime ya, ọ gụtara ihe e dere banyere Mọdekai, otu o si kpughee izuzu ọjọọ Bigtan na Teresh, ndị onozi eze na-eche nche nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọeze, gbara igbu eze Sekses.
3 The king said, “What honour and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
Mgbe ahụ eze jụrụ ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị bụ ihe ọma e meerela Mọdekai nʼihi ihe a o mere?” Ndị ozi ya zara, “O nwebeghị ihe ọbụla e meere ya!”
4 The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Eze sịrị, “Onye nọ nʼogige?” Ma Heman ka batachara na mbata ogige ụlọeze, ịgwa eze banyere mkwugbu Mọdekai nʼelu osisi nke o guzobere nʼihi ya.
5 The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
Ndị na-ejere ya ozi zara, “Heman na-eguzo nʼogige.” Eze sịrị, “Kpọbata ya.”
6 So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honour more than myself?”
Mgbe Heman batara, eze jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị bụ ugwu m kwesiri inye onye mere ihe na-atọ m ụtọ?” Heman chere nʼime onwe ya sị, “Oleekwanụ onye ọzọ eze ga-achọ inye ugwu karịa mụ onwe m?”
7 Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honour,
Ya mere ọ zara eze, “Banyere nwoke ahụ ọ masịrị eze ịkwanyere ugwu,
8 let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.
nye iwu ka e wepụta uwe gị, nke gị bụ eze yitụrụla, na ịnyịnya gị, nke eze gbaarala, nke e kpukwasịrị oyiyi okpueze nʼisi ya.
9 Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honour with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!’”
Ka enye uwe ahụ na ịnyịnya ahụ nʼaka otu onye kachasị nwee ugwu nʼime ụmụ eze, ka ha yikwasị nwoke ahụ nke eze chọrọ ịsọpụrụ uwe ahụ, ka ịnyịnya buru ya dịka ha dọkpụ ya na-ejegharị nʼokporoụzọ niile nʼobodo, na-ekwusa nʼihu ya na-asị, ‘Otu a ka a na-emere nwoke ahụ ọ masịrị eze inye nsọpụrụ!’”
10 Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”
Mgbe ahụ eze nyere Heman iwu, sị; “Ahaa! Ntụpụta gị dị mma nke ukwuu! Mee ngwangwa, were uwe ndị a, na ịnyịnya m, meekwara Mọdekai onye Juu ahụ na-anọdụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọeze ihe niile ndị a i kwuru. Hụkwa na i mechasịrị ihe ndị a niile i kwuru.”
11 Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!”
Ya mere, Heman chịịrị uwe eze ahụ yikwasị ya Mọdekai nʼahụ. O mekwara ka ọ nọdụ nʼelu ịnyịnya eze. Emesịa, o duuru ya jegharịa nʼakụkụ obodo ahụ niile na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Otu a ka eze ga-esi sọpụrụ nwoke ahụ ihe ya dị ya mma.”
12 Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Emesịa, Mọdekai lọghachiri nʼọnụ ụzọ ama eze. Ma Heman mere ngwangwa laa nʼụlọ ya, kpuchiekwa isi ya nʼiru ụjụ,
13 Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”
ọ kọọrọ Zeresh nwunye ya, na ndị enyi ya niile ihe niile nke mere ya. Ndị ndụmọdụ ya na nwunye ya Zeresh sịrị ya, “Ebe ọ bụ na Mọdekai, onye ị bidoro ịda nʼihu ya, bụ onye Juu, ị gaghị enwe ike emegide ya, ị ghaghị ịla nʼiyi.”
14 While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Mgbe ha na ya nọ na-akparịta ụka, ndị onozi eze bịaruru duru Heman ngwangwa maka ịga nʼoriri ahụ Esta kwadoro.
