Esetera 6
1 I A po, aole i hiki i ke alii ke hiamoe, a kauoha ae la ia e laweia mai ka buke mooolelo o na oihana; a heluheluia ia imua o ke alii.
That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
2 A loaa iho la ka palapala o ko Moredekai hai ana no Bigetana, a me Teresa, na luna elua o ke alii i kiai ai i ka puka, a imi i wahi e hiki ai, ke kau i ka lima maluna o ke alii o Ahasuero.
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 Ninau ae ke alii, Heaha ka mea maikai, a me ka mea nui i hanaia'i ia Moredekai, no keia mea? I aku la na kauwa a ke alii i ka poe i lawelawe nana, Aohe mea i hanaia nona.
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 Ninau ae la ke alii, Owai la ma ka pahale? Ua hiki mai o Hamana ma ka pahale mawaho o ka hale o ke alii e olelo i ke alii, e liia o Moredekai ma ke olokea ana i hoomakaukau ai nona.
“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 I aku la na kauwa a ke alii ia ia, Aia, ke ku mai la o Hamana ma ka pahale. I mai la ke alii, E hele mai la iloko.
So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
6 Alaila, komo aku la o Hamana. Ninau mai la ke alii ia ia, Heaha ka mea e hanaia'i no ke kanaka a ke alii e manao nei e hoohanohano? Nalu iho la o Hamana maloko o kona naau, Owai ka mea a ke alii e makemake nei e hoohanohano, aoleanei owau?
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 I aku la o Hamana i ka alii, No ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake nei e hoohanohano,
And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
8 E laweia mai ka lole alii a ke alii i komo ai, a me ka lio a ke alii i holoholo ai, a me ka leialii i hooleiia'i kona poo;
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 A e haawiia ua lole la, a me ka lio i ka lima o kekahi o na'lii koikoi o ke alii, i hoaahu ai lakou i ke kanaka a ke alii i makemake ai e hoohano, a e hooholo lakou ia ia maluna o ka lio ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale, a e kala aku mamua ona, Pela e hanaia'i ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake ai e hoolanilani.
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 Alaila, olelo mai la ke alii ia Hamana, E wikiwiki oe, e lawe i ka lole, a me ka lio, me au i olelo ai, a e hana aku oe pela ia Moredekai, i ka Iudaio, ka mea e noho la ma ka pukapa o ke alii. Mai hoohaule i kekahi o na mea a pau au i olelo mai nei.
“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 Alaila, lawe o Hamana i ka lole a me ka lio, a hoaahu iho la ia Moredekai, a hooholo ae la ia ia maluna o ka lio, ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale, a kala aku la imua ona, Pela no e hanaia mai ai i ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake ai e hoohanohano.
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 Hele hou aku la o Moredekai i ka pukapa o ke alii; aka, o Hamana, wikiwiki ae la ia i kona hale, me ke kaniuhu, a ua pulouia kona poo.
Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief.
13 Hai aku la o Hamana i kana wahine ia Zeresa, a i kona poe makamaka a pau i na mea a pau i loaa ai ia ia. Alaila, olelo mai la ia ia kona poe kanaka akamai, a me kana wahine o Zeresa, Ina no ka hanauna Iudaio o ua Moredekai la, a ua haule oe imua ona i keia wa, aole no oe e lanakihi maluna one, aka, e oiaio no, e haule no oe imua ona.
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 A ia lakou e kamailio pu ana me ia, hiki ae la na luna o ke alii, a wikiwiki lakou e lawe aku ia Hamana i ka ahainu a Esetera i hoomakaukau ai.
While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
