Esther 6
1 On that night hath the sleep of the king fled away, and he saith to bring in the book of memorials of the Chronicles, and they are read before the king,
その夜王ねむること能はざりければ命じて日々の事を記せる記録の書を持きたらしめ王の前にこれを讀しめけるに
2 and it is found written that Mordecai had declared concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king, of the keepers of the threshold, who sought to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus.
モルデカイ曾て王の侍從の二人戸を守る者なるビグタンとテレシがアハシユエロス王を殺さんと謀れるを告たりと記せるに遇ふ
3 And the king saith, 'What honour and greatness hath been done to Mordecai for this?' And the servants of the king, his ministers, say, 'Nothing hath been done with him.'
王すなはち言けるは之がために何の榮譽と爵位をモルデカイにあたへしや 王に事ふる臣僕等こたへて何をも彼にあたへしこと無しといへり
4 And the king saith, 'Who [is] in the court?' — and Haman hath come in to the outer court of the house of the king, to say to the king to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him —
ここにおいて王誰ぞ庭にあるやと問ふ この時ハマンは己がモルデカイのために設けたる木にモルデカイを懸ることを王に奏せんとして已に王の家の外庭に來りて居る
5 and the servants of the king say unto him, 'Lo, Haman is standing in the court;' and the king saith, 'Let him come in.'
王の臣僕等王につげてハマン庭に立をると言ければ王かれをして入來らしめよと言ふ
6 And Haman cometh in, and the king saith to him, 'What — to do with the man in whose honour the king hath delighted?' And Haman saith in his heart, 'To whom doth the king delight to do honour more than myself?'
ハマンやがて入きたりしに王かれにいひけるは王の尊とばんと欲する人には如何になさば善らんかとハマン心におもひけるは王の尊ばんとずる者は我にあらずして誰ぞやと
7 And Haman saith unto the king, 'The man in whose honour the king hath delighted,
ハマンすなはち王にいひけるは王の尊ばんと欲する人のためには
8 let them bring in royal clothing that the king hath put on himself, and a horse on which the king hath ridden, and that the royal crown be put on his head,
王の着たまへる衣服を携さへ來らしめかつ王の乗たまへる馬即ちその頭に王の冠冕を戴ける馬をひき來らしめ
9 and to give the clothing and the horse into the hand of a man of the heads of the king, the chiefs, and they have clothed the man in whose honour the king hath delighted, and caused him to ride on the horse in a broad place of the city, and called before him: Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.'
これを王の最も貴とき一人の牧伯の手にわたし王の尊ばんとする人に其衣服を衣せしめこれを馬にのせて邑の街衢をみちびき通り 王の尊とばんと欲する人には是のごとくなすべしと呼はらしむべし
10 And the king saith to Haman, 'Haste, take the clothing and the horse, as thou hast spoken, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in the gate of the king; there doth not fall a thing of all that thou hast spoken.'
王ハマンに言けるは急ぎなんぢが言しごとくその衣服と馬とを取り王の門に坐するユダヤ人モルデカイに斯なせよ なんぢが言しところを一も缺こと無らしめよ
11 And Haman taketh the clothing, and the horse, and clothed Mordecai, and causeth him to ride in a broad place of the city, and calleth before him, 'Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.'
ここにおいてハマン衣服と馬とを取りモルデカイにその衣服を着せ彼をして邑の街衢を乗とほらしめその前に呼はりて云ふ王の尊ばんと欲する人には是のごとくなすべしと
12 And Mordecai turneth back unto the gate of the king, and Haman hath been hastened unto his house mourning, and with covered head,
かくてモルデカイは王の門にかへりたりしがハマンは愁へなやみ首をおほふておのれの家にはしりゆき
13 and Haman recounteth to Zeresh his wife, and to all his friends, all that hath met him, and his wise men say to him, and Zeresh his wife, 'If Mordecai [is] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou art not able for him, but dost certainly fall before him.'
しかしてハマンおのが遇る事をことごとくその妻ゼレシとその朋友等に告げるにその智者等およびその妻ゼレシかれに言けるは 彼のモルデカイすなはちなんぢがその前に敗れはじめたる者もしユダヤ人ならば汝これに勝ことを得じ必らずその前にやぶれんと
14 They are yet speaking with him, and eunuchs of the king have come, and haste to bring in Haman unto the banquet that Esther hath made.
かれら尚ハマンとものいひをる間に王の侍從きたりてハマンをうながしエステルが設けたる酒宴にのぞましむ
