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.
In that night sleep fled from the king, and he ordered to bring in the book of the memorable events 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 Theresh, two chamberlains of the king, of those who kept the door, who had sought to lay [their] hand on king Achashverosh.
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 honor and distinction have been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's young men, his servants, There hath nothing been done with 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 was come into the outer court of the king's house, to say unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows which 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 young men said unto 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 unto him, What shall be done with the man whom the king desireth to honor? And Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king desire to do honor more than to myself?
7 Amani azongiselaki mokonzi: — Mpo na moto oyo mokonzi alingi kopesa lokumu,
Haman therefore said to the king, [For] the man whom the king desireth to honor,
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 them bring a royal apparel which the king hath worn, and a horse on which the king hath ridden, and let there be placed a royal crown on his head.
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 the horse be given into the hand of one of the king's princes, of the most noble, that they may array the man whom the king desireth to honor, and let them cause him to ride on the horse through the streets of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall be done to the man whom the king desireth to honor.
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.
Then said the king to Haman, Make haste, take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast spoken, and do thus to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: leave out nothing of all that thou hast spoken.
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 then took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the streets of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall be done unto the man whom the king desireth to honor.
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 thereupon returned to the king's gate; but Haman hastened 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 related to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends all that had befallen him: then said unto him his wise men and Zeresh his wife, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou wilt not prevail against him, but thou wilt surely 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.
They were yet speaking with him, when the king's chamberlains arrived, and they hastened to bring Haman unto the banquet which Esther had prepared.
