Esther 6
1 Cette nuit-là le roi ne pouvait pas dormir; et il commanda d'apporter le livre des mémoires, les Chroniques; et on les lut devant le roi.
In the night that it fled [the] sleep of the king and he said to bring [the] book of the reminders [the] words of the days and they were read aloud before the king.
2 Et on y trouva écrit que Mardochée avait donné avis au sujet de Bigthan et de Thérèsh, les deux eunuques du roi, d'entre les gardes du seuil, qui avaient cherché à mettre la main sur le roi Assuérus.
And it was found recorded that he had told Mordecai on Bigthana and Teresh two of [the] eunuchs of the king from [the] guards of the threshold who they had sought to stretch out a hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3 Alors le roi dit: Quel honneur et quelle magnificence a-t-on faits à Mardochée pour cela? Et les gens du roi, qui le servaient, répondirent: On ne lui en a point fait.
And he said the king what? has it been done honor and greatness for Mordecai on this and they said [the] young men of the king servants his not it was done with him anything.
4 Et le roi dit: Qui est dans la cour? Or, Haman était venu dans la cour extérieure de la maison du roi, pour demander au roi qu'il fît pendre Mardochée au gibet qu'il lui avait fait préparer.
And he said the king who? [is] in the court and Haman he had come to [the] court of [the] house of the king outer to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.
5 Et les gens du roi lui répondirent: Voilà Haman qui est dans la cour; et le roi dit: Qu'il entre.
And they said [the] servants of the king to him there! Haman [is] standing in the court and he said the king let him come.
6 Haman entra donc, et le roi lui dit: Que faudrait-il faire à un homme que le roi voudrait honorer? Or Haman dit en son cœur: A qui le roi voudrait-il faire plus d'honneur qu'à moi?
And he came Haman and he said to him the king what? [is] to do for the man whom the king he delights in honor his and he said Haman in heart his to whom? will he delight the king to do honor excess more than me.
7 Et Haman répondit au roi: Quant à l'homme que le roi veut honorer,
And he said Haman to the king a man whom the king he delights in honor his.
8 Qu'on lui apporte le vêtement royal, dont le roi se revêt, et le cheval sur lequel le roi monte, et qu'on lui mette la couronne royale sur la tête.
Let people bring clothing of royalty which he has worn on him the king and a horse which he has ridden on it the king and which it has been put a head-dress of royalty on head its.
9 Qu'on donne ensuite ce vêtement et ce cheval à quelqu'un des chefs du roi, des grands seigneurs qui sont auprès du roi; qu'on revête l'homme que le roi veut honorer; qu'on le fasse aller à cheval par les rues de la ville, et qu'on crie devant lui: C'est ainsi qu'on fait à l'homme que le roi veut honorer!
And let them put the clothing and the horse on [the] hand of a man one of [the] officials of the king the nobles and they will clothe the man whom the king he delights in honor his and they will make ride him on the horse in [the] open place of the city and they will proclaim before him thus it will be done for the man whom the king he delights in honor his.
10 Alors le roi dit à Haman: Hâte-toi, prends le vêtement et le cheval, comme tu l'as dit, et fais ainsi à Mardochée, le Juif, qui est assis à la porte du roi; n'omets rien de tout ce que tu as dit.
And he said the king to Haman hurry take the clothing and the horse just as you have said and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits at [the] gate of the king may not you make fall a word from all that you have said.
11 Haman prit donc le vêtement et le cheval; il revêtit Mardochée, et le fit aller à cheval par les rues de la ville, et il criait devant lui: C'est ainsi qu'on fait à l'homme que le roi veut honorer!
And he took Haman the clothing and the horse and he clothed Mordecai and he made ride him in [the] open place of the city and he proclaimed before him thus it will be done for the man whom the king he delights in honor his.
12 Puis Mardochée retourna à la porte du roi; mais Haman se retira promptement dans sa maison, tout affligé, et ayant la tête couverte.
And he returned Mordecai to [the] gate of the king and Haman he hurried himself to house his mourning and covered of head.
13 Et Haman raconta à Zérèsh, sa femme, et à tous ses amis tout ce qui lui était arrivé. Et ses sages, et Zérèsh, sa femme, lui répondirent: Si Mardochée, devant lequel tu as commencé de tomber, est de la race des Juifs, tu ne l'emporteras point sur lui; mais tu tomberas devant lui.
And he recounted Haman to Zeresh wife his and to all friends his all that it had happened to him and they said to him wise [men] his and Zeresh wife his if [is] one of [the] offspring of the Jews Mordecai whom you have begun to fall before him not you will prevail to him for certainly you will fall before him.
14 Cependant comme ils parlaient encore avec lui, les eunuques du roi survinrent, et se hâtèrent d'amener Haman au festin qu'Esther avait préparé.
Still they [were] speaking with him and [the] eunuchs of the king they arrived and they made haste to bring Haman to the feast which she had prepared Esther.
