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,
Usiku ule mfalme hakupata usingizi, hivyo akaagiza aletewe kitabu cha kumbukumbu za matukio ya utawala wake, asomewe.
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.
Kitabu hicho kilikutwa na kumbukumbu kwamba Mordekai alikuwa amefichua jinsi Bigthana na Tereshi, waliokuwa maafisa wawili wa mfalme, walinzi wa lango walivyokuwa wamepanga hila ya kumuua Mfalme Ahasuero.
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.'
Mfalme akauliza, “Je, ni heshima na shukrani gani Mordekai alipokea kwa ajili ya jambo hili?” Watumishi wake wakajibu, “Hakuna lolote alilofanyiwa.”
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 —
Mfalme akasema, “Ni nani yuko uani?” Wakati huo huo Hamani alikuwa ameingia ua wa nje wa jumba la mfalme kusema na mfalme kuhusu kumwangika Mordekai katika mahali pa kuangikia watu alipokuwa amepajenga kwa ajili yake.
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.'
Watumishi wake wakamjibu, “Hamani amesimama uani.” Mfalme akaamuru, “Mleteni ndani.”
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?'
Hamani alipoingia, mfalme alimuuliza, “Afanyiwe nini mtu ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu?” Basi Hamani akawaza moyoni mwake, “Ni nani mwingine ambaye mfalme angemheshimu kuliko mimi?”
7 And Haman saith unto the king, 'The man in whose honour the king hath delighted,
Kwa hiyo akamjibu mfalme, “Kwa mtu ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu,
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,
aletewe joho la kifalme ambalo mfalme ameshalivaa na farasi ambaye mfalme alishampanda, ambaye amevikwa taji ya kifalme kichwani mwake.
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.'
Kisha joho na farasi vikabidhiwe kwa mmojawapo wa wakuu wa mfalme anayeheshimika sana. Nao wamvike mtu yule ambaye mfalme anapenda kumheshimu, na aongozwe akiwa juu ya farasi kupitia barabara za mji, wakitangaza mbele yake, ‘Hivi ndivyo anavyofanyiwa mtu ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu!’”
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.'
Mfalme akamwamuru Hamani, “Nenda mara moja, chukua joho na farasi na ufanye kama vile ulivyopendekeza kwa Mordekai Myahudi, akaaye langoni mwa mfalme. Usipuuze kufanya kitu chochote ulichoshauri.”
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.'
Hivyo Hamani akachukua joho na farasi. Akamvika Mordekai, na kumpandisha juu ya farasi akamtembeza katika barabara za mji akitangaza mbele yake, “Hivi ndivyo anavyofanyiwa mtu ambaye mfalme anapenda kumheshimu!”
12 And Mordecai turneth back unto the gate of the king, and Haman hath been hastened unto his house mourning, and with covered head,
Baadaye Mordekai akarudi kwenye lango la mfalme. Lakini Hamani akakimbia nyumbani, akiwa amejaa huzuni,
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.'
naye akamweleza Zereshi mkewe pamoja na rafiki zake wote kila kitu ambacho kimempata. Washauri wake pamoja na Zereshi mkewe wakamwambia, “Kwa kuwa Mordekai, ambaye mbele yake umeanza kuanguka ni wa asili ya Kiyahudi, huwezi kushindana naye; kwa hakika utaanguka!”
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.
Walipokuwa bado wakizungumza naye, matowashi wa mfalme wakaja na kumharakisha Hamani aende katika karamu aliyoiandaa Esta.
