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.
On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read 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.
It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
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 said, “What honour and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done 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.
The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 Kinuna dagiti adipen ti ari kenkuana, “Agtaktakder ni Haman iti paraangan.” Kinuna ti ari, “Pastrekenyo isuna.”
The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
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?”
So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honour more than myself?”
7 Kinuna ni Haman iti ari, “Para iti tao a pakaragsakan iti ari a padayawan,
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honour,
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.
let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.
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!'”
Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honour with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!’”
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.”
Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”
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!”
Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!”
12 Nagsubli ni Mardokeo iti ruangan ti balay ti ari. Ngem nagdardaras ni Haman a napan iti balayna, agladladingit, a naabbongan ti ulona.
Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
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.
Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”
14 Kabayatan ti pannakitungtongda kenkuana, simmangpet dagiti opisial ti ari. Nagdardarasda a nangitugot kenni Haman iti padaya nga insagana ni Ester.
While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
