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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
And the king’s servants said, Behold, Aman stands in the court. And the king said, Call him.
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?
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 I aku la o Hamana i ka alii, No ke kanaka a ke alii e makemake nei e hoohanohano,
and he said to the king, As for the man whom the king wishes to honour,
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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
And Mardochæus returned to the palace: but Aman went home mourning, and having his head covered.
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.
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 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 yet speaking, the chamberlains arrived, to hasten Aman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.
