1 Nʼabalị ahụ, ụra abịaghị eze nʼanya ma ọlị. Nʼihi ya, o metụrụ ya nʼobi ịgụ akwụkwọ ihe ncheta. Ya mere, o nyere iwu ka e wetara ya akwụkwọ a na-edekọta ihe niile e mere nʼoge ọchịchị ya.
On that night hath the sleep of the king fled away, and he saith to bring in the book of memorials of the Chronicles, and they are read before the king,
2 Nʼime ya, ọ gụtara ihe e dere banyere Mọdekai, otu o si kpughee izuzu ọjọọ Bigtan na Teresh, ndị onozi eze na-eche nche nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọeze, gbara igbu eze Sekses.
and it is found written that Mordecai had declared concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king, of the keepers of the threshold, who sought to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus.
3 Mgbe ahụ eze jụrụ ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị bụ ihe ọma e meerela Mọdekai nʼihi ihe a o mere?” Ndị ozi ya zara, “O nwebeghị ihe ọbụla e meere ya!”
And the king saith, 'What honour and greatness hath been done to Mordecai for this?' And the servants of the king, his ministers, say, 'Nothing hath been done with him.'
4 Eze sịrị, “Onye nọ nʼogige?” Ma Heman ka batachara na mbata ogige ụlọeze, ịgwa eze banyere mkwugbu Mọdekai nʼelu osisi nke o guzobere nʼihi ya.
And the king saith, 'Who [is] in the court?' — and Haman hath come in to the outer court of the house of the king, to say to the king to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him —
5 Ndị na-ejere ya ozi zara, “Heman na-eguzo nʼogige.” Eze sịrị, “Kpọbata ya.”
and the servants of the king say unto him, 'Lo, Haman is standing in the court;' and the king saith, 'Let him come in.'
6 Mgbe Heman batara, eze jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị bụ ugwu m kwesiri inye onye mere ihe na-atọ m ụtọ?” Heman chere nʼime onwe ya sị, “Oleekwanụ onye ọzọ eze ga-achọ inye ugwu karịa mụ onwe m?”
And Haman cometh in, and the king saith to him, 'What — to do with the man in whose honour the king hath delighted?' And Haman saith in his heart, 'To whom doth the king delight to do honour more than myself?'
7 Ya mere ọ zara eze, “Banyere nwoke ahụ ọ masịrị eze ịkwanyere ugwu,
And Haman saith unto the king, 'The man in whose honour the king hath delighted,
8 nye iwu ka e wepụta uwe gị, nke gị bụ eze yitụrụla, na ịnyịnya gị, nke eze gbaarala, nke e kpukwasịrị oyiyi okpueze nʼisi ya.
let them bring in royal clothing that the king hath put on himself, and a horse on which the king hath ridden, and that the royal crown be put on his head,
9 Ka enye uwe ahụ na ịnyịnya ahụ nʼaka otu onye kachasị nwee ugwu nʼime ụmụ eze, ka ha yikwasị nwoke ahụ nke eze chọrọ ịsọpụrụ uwe ahụ, ka ịnyịnya buru ya dịka ha dọkpụ ya na-ejegharị nʼokporoụzọ niile nʼobodo, na-ekwusa nʼihu ya na-asị, ‘Otu a ka a na-emere nwoke ahụ ọ masịrị eze inye nsọpụrụ!’”
and to give the clothing and the horse into the hand of a man of the heads of the king, the chiefs, and they have clothed the man in whose honour the king hath delighted, and caused him to ride on the horse in a broad place of the city, and called before him: Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.'
10 Mgbe ahụ eze nyere Heman iwu, sị; “Ahaa! Ntụpụta gị dị mma nke ukwuu! Mee ngwangwa, were uwe ndị a, na ịnyịnya m, meekwara Mọdekai onye Juu ahụ na-anọdụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọeze ihe niile ndị a i kwuru. Hụkwa na i mechasịrị ihe ndị a niile i kwuru.”
And the king saith to Haman, 'Haste, take the clothing and the horse, as thou hast spoken, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in the gate of the king; there doth not fall a thing of all that thou hast spoken.'
11 Ya mere, Heman chịịrị uwe eze ahụ yikwasị ya Mọdekai nʼahụ. O mekwara ka ọ nọdụ nʼelu ịnyịnya eze. Emesịa, o duuru ya jegharịa nʼakụkụ obodo ahụ niile na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Otu a ka eze ga-esi sọpụrụ nwoke ahụ ihe ya dị ya mma.”
And Haman taketh the clothing, and the horse, and clothed Mordecai, and causeth him to ride in a broad place of the city, and calleth before him, 'Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.'
12 Emesịa, Mọdekai lọghachiri nʼọnụ ụzọ ama eze. Ma Heman mere ngwangwa laa nʼụlọ ya, kpuchiekwa isi ya nʼiru ụjụ,
And Mordecai turneth back unto the gate of the king, and Haman hath been hastened unto his house mourning, and with covered head,
13 ọ kọọrọ Zeresh nwunye ya, na ndị enyi ya niile ihe niile nke mere ya. Ndị ndụmọdụ ya na nwunye ya Zeresh sịrị ya, “Ebe ọ bụ na Mọdekai, onye ị bidoro ịda nʼihu ya, bụ onye Juu, ị gaghị enwe ike emegide ya, ị ghaghị ịla nʼiyi.”
and Haman recounteth to Zeresh his wife, and to all his friends, all that hath met him, and his wise men say to him, and Zeresh his wife, 'If Mordecai [is] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou art not able for him, but dost certainly fall before him.'
14 Mgbe ha na ya nọ na-akparịta ụka, ndị onozi eze bịaruru duru Heman ngwangwa maka ịga nʼoriri ahụ Esta kwadoro.
They are yet speaking with him, and eunuchs of the king have come, and haste to bring in Haman unto the banquet that Esther hath made.
