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 the king was unable to get any sleep; and he sent for the books of the records; and while some one was reading them to the king,
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.
It came out that it was recorded in the book how Mordecai had given word of the designs of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's servants, keepers of the door, by whom an attack on the king had been designed.
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.”
And the king said, What honour and reward have been given to Mordecai for this? Then the servants who were waiting on the king said, Nothing has been done for him.
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.
Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king's authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him.
5 Masu yi wa sarki hidima, suka amsa, “Haman yana tsaye a haraba.” Sarki ya umarta, “A kawo shi ciki.”
And the king's servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in.
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?”
So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring? Then the thought came into Haman's mind, Whom, more than myself, would the king have pleasure in honouring?
7 Sai ya amsa wa sarki cewa, “Saboda mutumin da sarki yake jin daɗi yă girmama,
And Haman, answering the king, said, For the man whom the king has delight in honouring,
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.
Let them take the robes which the king generally puts on, and the horse on which the king goes, and the crown which is on his 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!’”
And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honouring, and let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.
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.”
Then the king said to Haman, Go quickly, and take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who is seated at the king's doorway: see that you do everything as you have said.
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!”
Then Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.
12 Daga baya, Mordekai ya dawo zuwa ƙofar sarki. Amma Haman ya ruga gida, kansa a rufe, saboda baƙin ciki.
And Mordecai came back to the king's doorway. But Haman went quickly back to his house, sad and with his head covered.
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!”
And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what had taken place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anything against him, but you will certainly go down 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 talking, the king's servants came to take Haman to the feast which Esther had made ready.
