Esiteri 6
1 Na rĩrĩ, ũtukũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩũrwo nĩ toro; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩathana areherwo ibuku rĩrĩa rĩandĩkĩtwo maũndũ ma matukũ ma tene, maandĩko marĩa ma wathani wake, rĩrehwo athomerwo.
On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2 Hakĩoneka handĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ warĩo atĩ Moridekai nĩwe woimbũrĩte Bigithana na Tereshu, anene eerĩ a mũthamaki arĩa marangagĩra kĩhingo, o acio maacirĩire kũũraga Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu.
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3 Mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ Moridekai aatĩĩirwo naguo na nĩ ũnene ũrĩkũ aaheirwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũcio?” Ndungata ciake ikĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Hatirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe eekirwo.”
And the king said, What honor and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered to him, There is nothing done for him.
4 Mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũrĩ hau nja?” Hamani aakorirwo no hĩndĩ aatoonya nja ya nyũmba ya mũthamaki nĩguo aarie na mũthamaki ũhoro wa gũcuuria Moridekai mũtĩ-igũrũ ũrĩa aathondekithĩtie nĩ ũndũ wake.
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 Ndungata ciake ikĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Hamani ũrũgamĩte nja.” Mũthamaki agĩathana atĩrĩ, “Mwĩrei atoonye.”
And the king’s servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 Rĩrĩa Hamani aaingĩrire, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũngĩĩkwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia?” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hamani akĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩ mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia tiga niĩ?”
So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia-rĩ,
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,
8 nĩ wega wathane atĩ nguo ĩrĩa ndaaya ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa wee mũthamaki wanekĩra ĩrehwo, ningĩ mbarathi ĩrĩa yanakuua mũthamaki ĩrĩa ĩĩkĩrĩtwo tanji ya ũthamaki mũtwe ĩrehwo.
Let the royal apparel be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and the crown royal which is set on his head:
9 Ningĩ wĩtĩkĩre nguo ĩyo ndaaya, na mbarathi ĩyo, ciĩhokerwo mũndũ ũmwe mũtĩĩku mũno wa anene a mũthamaki. Wĩtĩkĩre ahumbe mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia nguo ĩyo, na amũtongorie athiĩ akuuĩtwo nĩ mbarathi ĩyo kũu njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩu inene, nake mũndũ ũcio athiĩ akĩanagĩrĩra arĩ mbere yake atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo gwĩkagwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia.’”
And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man with whom the king delights to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
10 Mũthamaki agĩatha Hamani, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ narua, woe nguo ĩyo na mbarathi ĩyo, na wĩke Moridekai ũcio Mũyahudi o ũguo woiga, o ũcio ũikaraga hau kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki. Ndũgatigĩrĩre ũndũ o na ũmwe wa maũndũ macio mothe wagaathĩrĩria mekwo.”
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sits at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hamani akĩoya nguo ĩyo na mbarathi ĩyo. Akĩhumba Moridekai nguo, na akĩmũtongoria ahaicĩte mbarathi njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩu inene, akĩanagĩrĩra mbere yake atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo gwĩkagwo mũndũ ũrĩa mũthamaki angĩenda gũtĩĩithia!”
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
12 Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, Moridekai agĩcooka kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki. No Hamani akĩguthũka gwake mũciĩ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ kĩeha,
And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
13 akĩĩra Zereshu mũtumia wake na arata ake othe maũndũ marĩa mothe maamũkorete. Andũ arĩa maamũtaaraga, o na Zereshu mũtumia wake, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo Moridekai ũcio wambĩrĩria gũgũtooria nĩ wa kĩhumo kĩa Ayahudi-rĩ, ndũngĩmwĩtiiria, na ti-itherũ nĩũgũthira!”
And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom you have begun to fall, you shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him.
14 Ihinda o ro rĩu maaragia nake, ndungata iria ciarĩ hakũre cia mũthamaki igĩkinya, na igĩtwara Hamani na ihenya iruga-inĩ rĩrĩa Esiteri aamarugithĩirie.
And while they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
