Ester 6
1 Na butu wana, lokola mokonzi akokaki kolala te, asengaki ete bamemela ye buku ya masolo, masolo ya bokonzi na ye, mpo ete batanga yango liboso na ye.
On that night sleep fled from the king. And he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2 Emonanaki ete bakomaki boye kati na yango: Maridoshe afundaki Bigitani mpe Tereshi, basoda mibale oyo baboma bango mokongo mpe bazalaki kokengela ekuke ya mokonzi, oyo basalaki likita mpo na koboma mokonzi Kizerisesi.
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, keepers of the threshold, who had sought to lay hand on king Ahasuerus.
3 Mokonzi atunaki: — Lokumu mpe lifuti nini Maridoshe azwaki mpo na yango? Basali na ye bazongisaki: — Basala ata eloko moko te mpo na ye.
And the king said, What honour and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? And the king's servants that attended upon him said, Nothing has been done for him.
4 Mokonzi atunaki: — Nani azali kati na lopango? Nzokande Amani awutaki kokota na lopango ya libanda ya ndako ya mokonzi mpo na kosolola na ye mpo ete badiembika Maridoshe na nzete oyo atelemisaki mpo na ye.
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 Basali ya mokonzi bazongisaki: — Ezali Amani nde azali kati na lopango. Mokonzi alobaki: — Bokotisa ye.
And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman is standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 Tango Amani akotaki, mokonzi atunaki ye: — Tokoki kosala nini mpo na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu? Amani amilobelaki: « Nani lisusu oyo mokonzi akoki kopesa lokumu soki ngai te? »
So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done with the man whom the king delights to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to me?
7 Amani azongiselaki mokonzi: — Mpo na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu,
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honour,
8 tika ete bamema nzambala ya bokonzi oyo mokonzi alataka elongo na mpunda oyo mokonzi amataka mpe batia motole ya bokonzi na moto ya mpunda yango.
let the royal apparel be brought with which the king arrays himself, and the horse that the king rides upon, and on the head of which the royal crown is set;
9 Tika ete bapesa nzambala mpe mpunda yango epai ya kalaka oyo aleki na lokumu kati na bakalaka ya mokonzi, mpe tika ete balatisa nzambala na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu, mpe tika ete batambolisa ye likolo ya mpunda na balabala ya engumba na kotatola liboso na ye: « Tala makambo oyo mokonzi asali mpo na moto oyo ye alingi kopesa lokumu! »
and let the apparel and horse be delivered into the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, and let them array the man whom the king delights to honour, and cause him to ride on the horse through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!
10 Mokonzi alobaki na Amani: — Kende noki koluka nzambala mpe mpunda ndenge olobi, mpe sala yango mpo na Moyuda Maridoshe oyo asalaka mosala na ye na ekuke ya mokonzi. Kati na makambo nyonso oyo osili koloba, kotika ata eloko moko te.
And the king said to Haman, Make haste, take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast said.
11 Amani azwaki nzambala mpe mpunda, alatisaki Maridoshe nzambala yango mpe atambolisaki ye likolo ya mpunda na balabala nyonso ya engumba na kotatola liboso na ye: « Tala makambo oyo mokonzi asali mpo na moto oyo alingi kopesa lokumu! »
And Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!
12 Sima, Maridoshe azongaki na ekuke ya mokonzi; kasi Amani azongaki noki na ndako na ye, na soni mpe azipa moto na ye.
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13 Amani ayebisaki mwasi na ye, Zereshi, mpe baninga na ye nyonso makambo oyo ekomelaki ye. Bapesi toli na ye mpe mwasi na ye, Zereshi, balobaki na ye: — Lokola kokweyisama na yo ebandi liboso ya Maridoshe oyo azali Moyuda, okokoka kolonga ye te; solo penza, okokweyisama lisusu na se koleka!
And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends all that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but wilt certainly fall before him.
14 Wana bazalaki nanu kosolola na ye, basoda ya mokonzi, oyo baboma bango mokongo, bayaki mpe bamemaki Amani na lombangu na feti oyo Ester abongisaki.
While they were yet talking with him, the king's chamberlains came, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
