< 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,
Ekiro ekyo Kabaka teyayinza kwebaka; era n’alagira ekitabo eky’ebijjukizo eky’ebigambo ebya buli lunaku, bisomebwe mu maaso ge.
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.
Awo ne kisangibwa mu byafaayo nti Moluddekaayi yamanya olukwe lwa Bigusani ne Teresi babiri ku balaawe ba Kabaka abaali bakuuma omulyango nga baali bagezaako okutta Kabaka Akaswero, era nga Moluddekaayi ye yabaloopayo.
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.'
Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Kitiibwa ki na bukulu ki Moluddekaayi bye yaweebwa olw’ekyo?” Awo abaweereza ba Kabaka ne baddamu nti, “Tewali kintu kye yali aweereddwa.”
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 —
Awo Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Ani ali mu luggya?” Mu kiseera ekyo Kamani yali yakayingira mu luggya olw’ebweru olw’oku lubiri lwa Kabaka, nga azze okwogera ne Kabaka ku kigambo eky’okuwanika Moluddekaayi ku kalabba Kamani ke yali amuzimbidde.
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.'
Amangwago abaweereza ne baddamu nti, “Kamani wuuno waali ayimiridde mu luggya.” Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Mumukkirize ayingire.”
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?'
Awo Kamani n’ayingira, Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Anaakolebwa ki omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira era gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa?” Kamani n’alowooza mu mutima gwe nti, “Ani Kabaka gwe yandisanyukidde okumuwa ekitiibwa okusinga nze?”
7 And Haman saith unto the king, 'The man in whose honour the king hath delighted,
Kamani n’addamu Kabaka nti, “Omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira okumuwa ekitiibwa,
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,
bamuleetere ebyambalo Kabaka bye yali ayambaddemu, n’embalaasi Kabaka gye yali yeebagadde atikkirweko engule ey’obwakabaka ku mutwe.
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.'
Ebyambalo n’embalaasi bikwasibwe omu ku bakungu kabaka basinga okuwa ekitiibwa, n’oluvannyuma omusajja oyo kabaka gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa ayambazibwe ebyambalo ebyo era yeebagale n’embalaasi, era omulangira Kabaka gw’anaalonda amukulembere mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira waggulu nti, ‘Bw’atyo bw’anaakolebwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa!’”
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.'
Awo Kabaka n’alagira Kamani nti, “Yanguwa ofune ebyambalo n’embalaasi nga bw’oyogedde, okolere ddala bw’otyo Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya atuula ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, ate waleme okubulako n’ekimu ku ebyo byonna by’oyogedde.”
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.'
Awo Kamani n’addira ebyambalo, n’ayambaza Moluddekaayi, n’amwebagaza ku mbalaasi, era n’amukulembera mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira mu maaso ge nti, “Bw’atyo bw’akoleddwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa.”
12 And Mordecai turneth back unto the gate of the king, and Haman hath been hastened unto his house mourning, and with covered head,
Oluvannyuma Moluddekaayi n’akomawo ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, naye Kamani n’ayanguwa n’addayo ewuwe, ng’anakuwadde era ng’abisse ku mutwe gwe,
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.'
n’ategeeza Zeresi mukazi we ne mikwano gye bonna byonna ebimutuuseeko. Awo abamuwa amagezi ne mukazi we Zeresi ne bamugamba nti, “Engeri Moluddekaayi gw’otanulidde okugwa mu maaso ge, nga bw’ava mu ggwanga ly’Abayudaaya, tojja kumusinga, era tolirema kuzikirira mu maaso ge.”
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.
Awo bwe baali nga bakyayogera naye, abalaawe ba Kabaka ne batuuka, ne banguwa okutwala Kamani ku mbaga Eseza gye yali afumbye.
