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.
Na rĩrĩ, ũtukũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩũrwo nĩ toro; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩathana areherwo ibuku rĩrĩa rĩandĩkĩtwo maũndũ ma matukũ ma tene, maandĩko marĩa ma wathani wake, rĩrehwo athomerwo.
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.
Hakĩoneka handĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ warĩo atĩ Moridekai nĩwe woimbũrĩte Bigithana na Tereshu, anene eerĩ a mũthamaki arĩa marangagĩra kĩhingo, o acio maacirĩire kũũraga Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu.
3 The king said, “What honor and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
Mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ Moridekai aatĩĩirwo naguo na nĩ ũnene ũrĩkũ aaheirwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũcio?” Ndungata ciake ikĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe eekirwo.”
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.
Mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũrĩ hau nja?” Hamani aakorirwo no hĩndĩ aatoonya nja ya nyũmba ya mũthamaki nĩguo aarie na mũthamaki ũhoro wa gũcuuria Moridekai mũtĩ-igũrũ ũrĩa aathondekithĩtie nĩ ũndũ wake.
5 The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
Ndungata ciake ikĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Hamani ũrũgamĩte nja.” Mũthamaki agĩathana atĩrĩ, “Mwĩrei atoonye.”
6 So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?”
Rĩrĩa Hamani aaingĩrire, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũngĩĩkwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia?” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hamani akĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩ mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia tiga niĩ?”
7 Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia-rĩ,
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.
nĩ wega wathane atĩ nguo ĩrĩa ndaaya ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa wee mũthamaki wanekĩra ĩrehwo, ningĩ mbarathi ĩrĩa yanakuua mũthamaki ĩrĩa ĩĩkĩrĩtwo tanji ya ũthamaki mũtwe ĩrehwo.
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 honor 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 honor!’”
Ningĩ wĩtĩkĩre nguo ĩyo ndaaya, na mbarathi ĩyo, ciĩhokerwo mũndũ ũmwe mũtĩĩku mũno wa anene a mũthamaki. Wĩtĩkĩre ahumbe mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia nguo ĩyo, na amũtongorie athiĩ akuuĩtwo nĩ mbarathi ĩyo kũu njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩu inene, nake mũndũ ũcio athiĩ akĩanagĩrĩra arĩ mbere yake atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo gwĩkagwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia.’”
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.”
Mũthamaki agĩatha Hamani, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ narua, woe nguo ĩyo na mbarathi ĩyo, na wĩke Moridekai ũcio Mũyahudi o ũguo woiga, o ũcio ũikaraga hau kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki. Ndũgatigĩrĩre ũndũ o na ũmwe wa maũndũ macio mothe wagaathĩrĩria mekwo.”
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 honor!”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hamani akĩoya nguo ĩyo na mbarathi ĩyo. Akĩhumba Moridekai nguo, na akĩmũtongoria ahaicĩte mbarathi njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩu inene, akĩanagĩrĩra mbere yake atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo gwĩkagwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia!”
12 Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, Moridekai agĩcooka kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki. No Hamani akĩguthũka gwake mũciĩ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ kĩeha,
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.”
akĩĩra Zereshu mũtumia wake na arata ake othe maũndũ marĩa mothe maamũkorete. Andũ arĩa maamũtaaraga, o na Zereshu mũtumia wake, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo Moridekai ũcio wambĩrĩria gũgũtooria nĩ wa kĩhumo kĩa Ayahudi-rĩ, ndũngĩmwĩtiiria, na ti-itherũ nĩũgũthira!”
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.
Ihinda o ro rĩu maaragia nake, ndungata iria ciarĩ hakũre cia mũthamaki igĩkinya, na igĩtwara Hamani na ihenya iruga-inĩ rĩrĩa Esiteri aamarugithĩirie.
