Eseza 6
1 Ekiro ekyo Kabaka teyayinza kwebaka; era n’alagira ekitabo eky’ebijjukizo eky’ebigambo ebya buli lunaku, bisomebwe mu maaso ge.
That night the king was unable to get any sleep; and he sent for the books of the records; and while some one was reading them to the king,
2 Awo ne kisangibwa mu byafaayo nti Moluddekaayi yamanya olukwe lwa Bigusani ne Teresi babiri ku balaawe ba Kabaka abaali bakuuma omulyango nga baali bagezaako okutta Kabaka Akaswero, era nga Moluddekaayi ye yabaloopayo.
It came out that it was recorded in the book how Mordecai had given word of the designs of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's servants, keepers of the door, by whom an attack on the king had been designed.
3 Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Kitiibwa ki na bukulu ki Moluddekaayi bye yaweebwa olw’ekyo?” Awo abaweereza ba Kabaka ne baddamu nti, “Tewali kintu kye yali aweereddwa.”
And the king said, What honour and reward have been given to Mordecai for this? Then the servants who were waiting on the king said, Nothing has been done for him.
4 Awo Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Ani ali mu luggya?” Mu kiseera ekyo Kamani yali yakayingira mu luggya olw’ebweru olw’oku lubiri lwa Kabaka, nga azze okwogera ne Kabaka ku kigambo eky’okuwanika Moluddekaayi ku kalabba Kamani ke yali amuzimbidde.
Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king's authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him.
5 Amangwago abaweereza ne baddamu nti, “Kamani wuuno waali ayimiridde mu luggya.” Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Mumukkirize ayingire.”
And the king's servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 Awo Kamani n’ayingira, Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Anaakolebwa ki omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira era gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa?” Kamani n’alowooza mu mutima gwe nti, “Ani Kabaka gwe yandisanyukidde okumuwa ekitiibwa okusinga nze?”
So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring? Then the thought came into Haman's mind, Whom, more than myself, would the king have pleasure in honouring?
7 Kamani n’addamu Kabaka nti, “Omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira okumuwa ekitiibwa,
And Haman, answering the king, said, For the man whom the king has delight in honouring,
8 bamuleetere ebyambalo Kabaka bye yali ayambaddemu, n’embalaasi Kabaka gye yali yeebagadde atikkirweko engule ey’obwakabaka ku mutwe.
Let them take the robes which the king generally puts on, and the horse on which the king goes, and the crown which is on his head:
9 Ebyambalo n’embalaasi bikwasibwe omu ku bakungu kabaka basinga okuwa ekitiibwa, n’oluvannyuma omusajja oyo kabaka gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa ayambazibwe ebyambalo ebyo era yeebagale n’embalaasi, era omulangira Kabaka gw’anaalonda amukulembere mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira waggulu nti, ‘Bw’atyo bw’anaakolebwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa!’”
And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honouring, and let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.
10 Awo Kabaka n’alagira Kamani nti, “Yanguwa ofune ebyambalo n’embalaasi nga bw’oyogedde, okolere ddala bw’otyo Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya atuula ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, ate waleme okubulako n’ekimu ku ebyo byonna by’oyogedde.”
Then the king said to Haman, Go quickly, and take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who is seated at the king's doorway: see that you do everything as you have said.
11 Awo Kamani n’addira ebyambalo, n’ayambaza Moluddekaayi, n’amwebagaza ku mbalaasi, era n’amukulembera mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira mu maaso ge nti, “Bw’atyo bw’akoleddwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa.”
Then Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.
12 Oluvannyuma Moluddekaayi n’akomawo ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, naye Kamani n’ayanguwa n’addayo ewuwe, ng’anakuwadde era ng’abisse ku mutwe gwe,
And Mordecai came back to the king's doorway. But Haman went quickly back to his house, sad and with his head covered.
13 n’ategeeza Zeresi mukazi we ne mikwano gye bonna byonna ebimutuuseeko. Awo abamuwa amagezi ne mukazi we Zeresi ne bamugamba nti, “Engeri Moluddekaayi gw’otanulidde okugwa mu maaso ge, nga bw’ava mu ggwanga ly’Abayudaaya, tojja kumusinga, era tolirema kuzikirira mu maaso ge.”
And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what had taken place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anything against him, but you will certainly go down before him.
14 Awo bwe baali nga bakyayogera naye, abalaawe ba Kabaka ne batuuka, ne banguwa okutwala Kamani ku mbaga Eseza gye yali afumbye.
While they were still talking, the king's servants came to take Haman to the feast which Esther had made ready.
