1 Fia Ahasuerus mete ŋu dɔ alɔ̃ le gbe ma gbe ƒe zã me o, eya ta wòna wotsɔ fiasã la ƒe nyadzɔdzɔgbalẽ, si ku ɖe eƒe dziɖuɖu ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo ŋuti vɛ be woaxlẽ nɛ.
The same night the King slept not, and he comanded to bring ye booke of the records, and the chronicles: and they were read before ye King.
2 Woke ɖe eŋu le agbalẽ la me be, Bigtan kple Teres, fia la ƒe nyɔnuwo dzi kpɔlawo kple agbonudzɔla eve wowɔ ɖoɖo ɖe Fia Zerzes wuwu ŋuti, eye Mordekai na fia la nya.
Then it was found written that Mordecai had tolde of Bigtana, and Teresh two of the Kings eunuches, keepers of the dore, who sought to lay hands on the King Ahashuerosh.
3 Fia la bia eƒe aɖaŋudelawo be, “Nu ka tututue míena Mordekai le nyanyanana sia ta?” Eƒe aɖaŋudelawo ɖo eŋu be, “Womena nanekee o!”
Then the King sayde, What honour and dignitie hath bene giuen to Mordecai for this? And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, There is nothing done for him.
4 Fia la bia be, “Ame kae le xɔxɔnu afi ma?” Eva eme be Haman va ɖo afi ma teti be yeabia fia la be wòaɖe mɔ na ye yeade ka ve na Mordekai ɖe kadeveti si tum yenɔ la ŋu.
And the King sayde, Who is in the court? (Now Haman was come into the inner court of the Kings house, that he might speake vnto the King to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him.)
5 Aɖaŋudelawo ɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Ame si le afi ma lae nye Haman.” Fia la ɖe gbe be, “Miyɔe ɖa.”
And the Kings seruants said vnto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the King sayd, Let him come in.
6 Ale Haman yi fia la gbɔ, eye fia la biae be, “Nu ka woawɔ atsɔ ade bubu ame aɖe si ŋu mekpɔ ŋudzedze tɔxɛ le la?” Tete Haman bu le eƒe ta me be, “Ame ka gɔ̃ ŋu fia la ade bubui ne menye nye ko oa?”
And when Haman came in, the King saide vnto him, What shalbe done vnto ye man, whom the King will honour? Then Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the King do honour more then to me?
7 Ale wòɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Hena ame si ƒe nu do dzidzɔ na fia la, eye wòdi be yeade bubu eŋu la,
And Haman answered the King, The man whome the King would honour,
8 fia la nana woatsɔ fiawu ado nɛ, wòana wòado fia la ƒe sɔ, woaɖɔ fia la ƒe fiakuku nɛ.
Let them bring for him royall apparell, which the King vseth to weare, and the horse that the King rideth vpon, and that the crowne royall may be set vpon his head.
9 Ekema fia la nana woatsɔ fiawu la kple fia la ƒe sɔ la ade asi na fia la ƒe bubume ɖeka. Fia la nana wodoa fiawu la na ame si ƒe nu do dzidzɔ nɛ wòbe yeade bubu eŋu, ekema bubume la anɔ sɔ la ŋgɔ, woato dua ƒe ablɔwo dzi, eye bubume la nanɔ gbeƒã ɖem le eŋgɔ be, ‘Esiae nye nu si wowɔ na ŋutsu si ƒe nu nyo fia la ŋu, eye wòde bubu eŋu.’”
And let the raiment and the horse be deliuered by the hand of one of the Kings most noble princes, and let them apparel the man (whome the King will honour) and cause him to ride vpon the horse thorow the streete of the citie, and proclayme before him, Thus shall it be done vnto the man, whome the King will honour.
10 Fia la gblɔ na Haman be, “Enyo ŋutɔ! Ɖe abla nàtsɔ fiawu la kple nye sɔ la, eye nàwɔ nu si nègblɔ la tututu na Mordekai, Yudatɔ, ame si nɔa agboa nu. Wɔ nu sia abe ale si nègblɔe ene la pɛpɛpɛ!”
Then the King said to Haman, Make haste, take the rayment and the horse as thou hast said, and doe so vnto Mordecai the Iewe, that sitteth at the Kings gate: let nothing fayle of all that thou hast spoken.
11 Ale Haman tsɔ fiawu la do na Mordekai, ena wòdo fia la ŋutɔ ƒe sɔ, eye wòkplɔe to dua ƒe ablɔwo dzi, nɔ ɣli dom le eŋgɔ be, “Esiae nye nu si wowɔ na ŋutsu si ƒe nu nyo fia la ŋu, eye wòde bubu eŋu!”
So Haman tooke the rayment and the horse, and arayed Mordecai, and brought him on horse backe thorowe the streete of the citie, and proclaymed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the King will honour.
12 Le esia megbe la, Mordekai trɔ yi eƒe dɔwɔƒe, ke Haman ɖe abla yi aƒe me kple nuxaxa blibo.
And Mordecai came againe to the Kings gate, but Haman hasted home mourning and his head couered.
13 Egblɔ nu siwo katã va dzɔ ɖe edzi la na srɔ̃a, Zeres kple exɔlɔ̃wo. Eƒe aɖaŋuɖolawo kple srɔ̃a wogblɔ nɛ be, “Zi ale si Mordekai, ame si dzi wò anyidzedze dze egɔme tsoe nye Yudatɔ la, màte ŋu anɔ te ɖe enu o; vavã àtsrɔ̃ godoo!”
And Haman tolde Zeresh his wife, and all his friends all that had befallen him. Then sayd his wise men, and Zeresh his wife vnto him, If Mordecai be of the seede of the Iewes, before whom thou hast begunne to fall; thou shalt not preuaile against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
14 Esime woganɔ ŋugble dem tso nya sia ŋu kplii la, fia la ƒe ame dɔdɔawo va kplɔ Haman yi Ester ƒe kplɔ̃ si wòɖo la ŋu.
And while they were yet talking with him, came the Kings eunuches and hasted to bring Haman vnto the banket that Ester had prepared.
