Esther 6
1 In fong sacna, tokosra el tia ku in motulla, ouinge el sap in utuku book in sim mwe esmakin lun tokosrai uh, ac ritiyuk nu sel.
That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
2 Ipin mwe rit se elos riti ah ma ke sramsram kacl Mordecai, ke el tuh konauk sie inkanek sulallal in akmuselya tokosra. Nunak sulallal sac orek sel Bigthana ac Teresh, luo sin mwet eunuch su karingin mutunoa in utyak nu infukil sel tokosra.
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 Na tokosra el siyuk, “Akfulat fuka ac srui fuka kut tuh oru nu sel Mordecai ke ma el orala inge?” Mwet kulansap lal topuk mu, “Wanginna ma orekla nu sel.”
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 Na tokosra el siyuk, “Su sin mwet fulat luk oasr inkul uh?” In pacl sacna Haman el utyak inkalkal sin tokosra. El tuku in siyuk sel tokosra tuh Mordecai elan sripsripyak ke nien loksak se ma akoeyukla tari.
“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 Ouinge mwet kulansap elos topuk, “Haman el oasr inge. El ke osun nu sum.” Tokosra el fahk, “Sap elan utyak.”
So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
6 Ouinge Haman el utyak, ac tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Oasr mwet se nga arulana ke akfulatye. Mea fal in orek nu sin mwet se inge?” Haman el nunku sel sifacna, “Acna su tokosra el ke akfulatye inge— Kalem na lah nga.”
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 Ouinge Haman el fahk nu sel tokosra, “Nu sin mwet se su tokosra el lungse akfulatye,
And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
8 lela in utuku nuknuk lun tokosra sifacna, ac soko horse ma tokosra el muta fac tari, ac tefuro lun tokosra in oan fin sifen horse soko ah.
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 Na sang nu sin sie mwet wal fulat lom in nokmulang ke nuknuk lun tokosra inge, ac pwen mwet sac ke el muta fin horse, elan fahsr sasla in kalkal lun siti uh. Mwet fulat sac in fahsr sulkakin inkanek uh, ‘Liye luman akfulat lun tokosra nu sin sie su el lungse akfulatye!’”
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 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel Haman, “Aksaye ac akoela nuknuk lun tokosra ac soko horse, ac oru mwe akfulat inge nu sel Mordecai, mwet Jew. Oru ma nukewa nu sel oana ke kom fahk an. Kom ac konalak el muta ke acn in utyak nu inkul sin tokosra.”
“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 Ke ma inge Haman el eis nuknuk uh ac horse soko ah, ac nokmulang Mordecai. Mordecai el sroang nu fin horse uh, ac Haman el pwanul fahsr sasla inkanek lun siti uh, ac sulkakin, “Liye luman akfulat lun tokosra nu sin sie su el lungse akfulatye!”
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 Tukun ma inge, Mordecai el folokla nu ke nien utyak nu ke inkul sin tokosra. A Haman el afinya mutal ke mwekin lal ac sulaklak folokla nu lohm sel.
Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief.
13 El fahk nu sin mutan kial ac kawuk lal kewa ke ma nukewa ma sikyak nu sel. Na mutan kial ac mwet kawuk lalmwetmet lal fahk nu sel, “Mutawauk in munasla ku lom sel Mordecai. El mwet Jew se, ac kom tia ku in kutangulla. Pwayena lah el ac kutangkomla.”
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 Ke elos srakna kaskas, mwet eunuch lun inkul sin tokosra tuku, ac salkal Haman nu ke kufwa su Esther el akoela.
While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
