Esta 6
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.
But the Lord removed sleep from the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the books, the registers of daily events, to 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 he found the records written concerning Mardochæus, how he had told the king concerning the two chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes.
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 or favour have we done to Mardochæus? And the king’s servants said, Thou hast not done anything to 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.
And while the king was enquiring about the kindness of Mardochæus, behold, Aman [was] in the court. And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Aman was come in to speak to the king, that he should hang Mardochæus on the gallows, which he had prepared.
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, Behold, Aman stands in the court. And the king said, Call him.
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?”
And the king said to Aman, What shall I do to the man whom I wish to honour? And Aman said within himself, Whom would the king honour but myself?
7 Sai ya amsa wa sarki cewa, “Saboda mutumin da sarki yake jin daɗi yă girmama,
and he said to the king, As for the man whom the king wishes to honour,
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 the king’s servants bring the robe of fine linen which the king puts on, and the horse on which the king rides,
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 him give [it] to one of the king’s noble friends, and let him array the man whom the king loves; and let him mount him on the horse, and proclaim through the street of the city, saying, Thus shall it be [done] to every man whom the king honours.
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 Aman, Thou hast well said: so do to Mardochæus the Jew, who waits in the palace, and let not a word of what thou hast spoken be neglected.
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 Aman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mardochæus, and mounted him on the horse, and went through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be to every man whom the king wishes to honour.
12 Daga baya, Mordekai ya dawo zuwa ƙofar sarki. Amma Haman ya ruga gida, kansa a rufe, saboda baƙin ciki.
And Mardochæus returned to the palace: but Aman went home mourning, and having 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 Aman related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to [his] friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, If Mardochæus [be] of the race of the Jews, [and] thou hast begun to be humbled before him, thou wilt assuredly fall, and thou wilt not be able to withstand him, for the living God [is] with 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 yet speaking, the chamberlains arrived, to hasten Aman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.
