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.
The king passed that night without sleep, and so he ordered the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought to him. And when they were reading them before 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.
they came to that place where it had been written, how Mordecai had reported the treachery of Bigthan and Teresh the eunuchs, who desired to cut the throat of king Artaxerxes.
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.”
When the king had heard this, he said, “What honor and reward has Mordecai been given for this fidelity?” His servants and ministers said to him, “He has received no compensation at all.”
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.
And immediately the king said, “Who is in the atrium?” For, you see, Haman was entering the inner atrium of the king’s house to suggest to the king that he should order Mordecai to be hanged on the gallows, which had been prepared for him.
5 Ouinge mwet kulansap elos topuk, “Haman el oasr inge. El ke osun nu sum.” Tokosra el fahk, “Sap elan utyak.”
The servants answered, “Haman is standing in the atrium.” And the king said, “Let him enter.”
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.”
And when he had entered, he said to him, “What ought to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” But Haman, thinking in his heart and supposing that the king would honor no one else but himself,
7 Ouinge Haman el fahk nu sel tokosra, “Nu sin mwet se su tokosra el lungse akfulatye,
answered, “The man whom the king wishes 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.
ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and be set upon the horse that the king rides, and receive the royal crown upon his 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!’”
And let the first of the king’s rulers and sovereigns hold his horse, and, as they advance through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say, ‘Thus shall he be honored, whom the king decides 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.”
And the king said to him, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, and do as you have said to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in front of the gate of the palace. Be careful not to omit any of those things which you have mentioned.”
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!”
And so Haman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mordecai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, he went before him and cried out, “He is worthy of this honor, whom the king has decided 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.
And Mordecai returned to the palace door. And Haman hurried to go to his house, mourning and hiding his head.
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.”
And he explained to Zeresh his wife and to his friends all that had happened to him. And the wise men, whom he held in counsel, and his wife, answered him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is from the offspring of the Jews, you will not be able to withstand him, but you will fall in his sight.”
14 Ke elos srakna kaskas, mwet eunuch lun inkul sin tokosra tuku, ac salkal Haman nu ke kufwa su Esther el akoela.
As they were still speaking, the king’s eunuchs arrived and compelled him to go quickly to the feast, which the queen had prepared.
