1 A daren nan, sarki bai iya barci ba, saboda haka ya ba da umarni a kawo, a kuma karanta masa littafin tarihi na shekara-shekara, da rubutaccen labarin mulkinsa.
That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
2 Aka tarar, a rubuce a ciki, cewa Mordekai ya tone ƙulle-ƙullen Bigtana da Teresh, biyu daga hafsoshin sarki, waɗanda suke tsaron mashigin ƙofa, waɗanda suka ƙulla su kashe Sarki Zerzes.
And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 Sarki ya ce, “Wace girma da daraja ce aka ba wa Mordekai saboda wannan?” Masu hidimarsa suka ce, “Ba a yi masa wani abu ba.”
The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
4 Sarki ya ce, “Wa yake a haraba?” Daidai lokacin kuwa Haman ya shigo harabar waje na fada don yă yi magana da sarki a kan a rataye Mordekai a wurin rataye mai laifin da ya shirya.
“Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
5 Masu yi wa sarki hidima, suka amsa, “Haman yana tsaye a haraba.” Sarki ya umarta, “A kawo shi ciki.”
So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
6 Sa’an nan Haman ya shigo, sai sarki ya ce masa, “Me ya kamata a yi wa mutumin da sarki yake jin daɗi yă girmama?” Haman dai ya yi tunani a ransa ya ce, “Wane ne sarki zai girmama in ba ni ba?”
Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”
7 Sai ya amsa wa sarki cewa, “Saboda mutumin da sarki yake jin daɗi yă girmama,
And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
8 bari a kawo rigar sarautar da sarki ya taɓa sawa, da kuma dokin da sarki ya taɓa hawa, wanda aka sa kambin sarauta a kai.
have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head.
9 Sa’an nan, bari a ba da rigar da kuma dokin wa ɗaya daga cikin manyan sarakuna mafi kirki na sarki. Bari shi kuma yă sa wannan riga wa mutumin da sarki yake jin daɗi yă girmama, a kuma bi da shi a bisan doki ko’ina a titunan birni, ana shela a gabansa ana cewa, ‘Wannan shi ne abin da ake yin wa mutumin da sarki yake jin daɗi yă girmama!’”
Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’”
10 Sarki ya umarci Haman ya ce, “Tafi yanzu ka karɓi rigar da dokin, ka kuma yi yadda ka shawarta wa Mordekai, mutumin Yahudan nan, wanda yake zama a bakin ƙofar sarki. Kada ka kāsa yin kome daga cikin abin da ka faɗa.”
“Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”
11 Saboda haka, Haman ya karɓo rigar da dokin. Ya sa wa Mordekai rigar, ya kuma bi da shi a kan doki ko’ina a titunan birnin, yana shela a gabansa yana cewa, “Wannan shi ne abin da ake yi wa mutumin da sarki yake jin daɗi yă girmama!”
So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!”
12 Daga baya, Mordekai ya dawo zuwa ƙofar sarki. Amma Haman ya ruga gida, kansa a rufe, saboda baƙin ciki.
Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief.
13 Ya je ya faɗa wa matarsa Zeresh, da dukan abokansa, me ya same shi. Masu ba shi shawara, da matarsa Zeresh, suka ce masa, “Idan Mordekai, wanda ka fara fāɗuwa a gabansa, daga zuriyar Yahudawa yake, to, ba za ka yi nasara a kansa ba, tabbatacce za ka fāɗi a gabansa!”
Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will fall before him.”
14 Suna cikin magana da shi ke nan, sai ga bābānnin sarki, suka iso suka kuma hanzarta da Haman zuwa liyafar da Esta ta shirya.
While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
