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 honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto 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 unto 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 unto him, Behold, Haman standeth 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 unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour 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 delighteth to honour,
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 [useth] to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon 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 [withal] whom the king delighteth to honour, 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 delighteth to honour.
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 thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast 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 unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
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 hasted 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 unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt 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 hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
