Ester 6
1 Iti dayta a rabii, saan a makaturog ti ari. Impaiyegna kadagiti adipenna dagiti nakaisuratan dagiti pasamak iti panagturayna, ket naibasa dagitoy iti napigsa iti ari.
That night the king was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of them to the king.
2 Nasarakan a nakalanad ditoy nga imbaga ni Mardokeo ti maipanggep kada Bigtana ken Teres, dua kadagiti opisial ti ari a nangbantay iti pagserrekan, a nangpadas a mangdangran kenni Ari Ahasuero.
[The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
3 Sinaludsod ti ari, “Ania ti naaramid a kas pammadayaw wenno panangbigbig kenni Mardokeo para iti panangaramid iti daytoy?” Ket kinuna dagiti adipen ti ari nga agtutubo a lallaki, “Awan ti naaramid para kenkuana.”
The king asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything for him.”
4 Kinuna ti ari, “Siasino ti adda iti paraangan?” Ita, nakastreken ni Haman iti akinruar a paraangan iti balay ti ari tapno makisarita kenkuana maipanggep iti panangibitin kenni Mardokeo iti pagbitayan nga insaganana para kenkuana.
At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
5 Kinuna dagiti adipen ti ari kenkuana, “Agtaktakder ni Haman iti paraangan.” Kinuna ti ari, “Pastrekenyo isuna.”
His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
6 Idi nakastreken ni Haman, kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Ania ti rumbeng a maaramid para iti tao a pakaragsakan ti ari a padayawan?” Ita, kinuna ni Haman iti pusona, “Siasino ngay ti pakaragsakan ti ari a padayawan nga ad-adda ngem siak?”
When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
7 Kinuna ni Haman iti ari, “Para iti tao a pakaragsakan iti ari a padayawan,
So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
8 maiyeg koma ti kagay ti ari, kawes nga insuot ti ari, ken maysa a kabalio a naglugananen ti ari ken parabawan ti ulona iti guarnasion.
you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
9 Ket maipaima dagiti kagay ken ti kabalio iti maysa kadagiti katataknengan nga opisial ti ari. Palubosam a kawesanda ti tao a pakaragsakan ti ari a padayawan, ken maiparada isuna a nakalugan iti kabalio kadagiti dalan ti siudad. Paiwaragawagmo kadakuada iti sangoananna, 'Daytoy ti maaramid iti siasinoman a pakaragsakan ti ari a padayawan!'”
Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants to honor!’”
10 Ket kinuna ti ari kenni Haman, “Darasem, alaem dagiti kagay ken ti kabalio, a kas kinunam, ket aramidem daytoy kenni Mardokeo a Judio nga agtugtugaw iti ruangan ti ari. Saanka nga agkurang iti uray maysa kadagiti aniaman nga imbagam.”
The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you suggested!”
11 Innala ngarud ni Haman ti kagay ken ti kabalio. Kinawesanna ni Mardokeo ken imparadana isuna a nakalugan iti kabalio kadagiti dalan ti siudad. Inwaragawagna iti sangoanan ni Mardokeo, “Daytoy ti maaramid iti tao a pakaragsakan ti ari a padayawan!”
So Haman did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants to honor!”
12 Nagsubli ni Mardokeo iti ruangan ti balay ti ari. Ngem nagdardaras ni Haman a napan iti balayna, agladladingit, a naabbongan ti ulona.
Then, Mordecai returned [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
13 Imbaga ni Haman kenni Zeres nga asawana ken kadagiti amin a gagayyemna ti amin a napasamak kenkuana. Ket kinuna dagiti lallaki a mabigbigbig gapu iti kinasiribda ken ni Zeres nga asawana kenkuana, “No ni Mardokeo a nakarugiam a matnag ket Judio, saanmo isuna nga abaken, ngem awan duadua a matnagkanto iti sangoananna.
He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
14 Kabayatan ti pannakitungtongda kenkuana, simmangpet dagiti opisial ti ari. Nagdardarasda a nangitugot kenni Haman iti padaya nga insagana ni Ester.
And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther had prepared.
