एस्तर 6
1 त्यस रात राजा सुत्न सकेनन् । तिनले सेवकहरूलाई आफ्नो राज्यकालका घटनाहरूको विवरणहरू ल्याउन हुकुम गरे, र राजाको सामु चर्को सोरमा ति पढियो ।
That night the king wasn't able to sleep, so he ordered the Book of Records of the King's Reign brought in so it could be read to him.
2 प्रवेशद्वारको पहरा दिने राजाका दुई जना अधिकारी बिग्थाना र तेरेशले राजा अहासूरसलाई हानि गर्ने कोसिस गरेका कुरा मोर्दकैले जानकरी गराएका थिए भनी त्यहाँ लेखिएको पाइयो ।
There he discovered the account of what Mordecai had reported about Bigthana and Teresh, the two king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers who had plotted to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 राजाले सोधे, “यसो गरेका हुनाले मोर्दकैलाई सम्मान वा पद दिन के गरियो त?” तब राजाको सेवा गर्ने जवान मानिसहरूले जवाफ दिए, “तिनको लागि केही गरिएन ।”
“What honor or position did Morcedai receive as a reward for doing this?” asked the king. “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king's attendants.
4 राजाले भने, “चोकमा को छ?” अब हामानचाहिं भर्खरै आफूले तयार गरेको फाँसीको काठमा मोर्दकैलाई झुण्ड्याउन भनी राजासित बिन्ती गर्न राजदरबारको बाहिर चोकमा आइपुगेका थिए ।
“Who's here in the court?” the king asked. Haman had just happened to arrive in the outer court of the royal palace to ask the king to have Mordecai impaled on the pole he had set up for him.
5 राजाका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हामान चोकमा उभिरहेका छन् ।” राजाले भने, “तिनी भित्र आऊन् ।”
The king's attendants told him, “Haman is waiting in the court.” “Tell him to come in,” the king ordered.
6 जब हामान भित्र आए, तब राजाले तिनलाई सोधे, “राजाले सम्मान दिन इच्छा गरेको मानिसलाई के गरिनुपर्छ?” हामानले आफ्नो हृदयमा भने, “मबाहेक अरू कसलाई राजाले सम्मान दिने इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ र?”
When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should be done for a man the king wants to honor?” Haman said to himself, “Who would the king want to honor except me?”
7 हामानले राजालाई भने, “जुन मानिसलाई राजाले सम्मान दिन इच्छा गर्नुभएको छ,
So Haman said to the king, “A man whom the king wants to honor
8 राजाकीय पोशाक, राजाले पहिरिनुभएको वस्त्र अनि राजाले सवार गर्नुभएको शिरमा राजकीय चिन्ह लगाइएको घोडा ल्याइयोस् ।
should be brought royal robes the king has worn, a horse the king has ridden and which has a royal headdress on its head.
9 तब त्यो पोशाक र घोडा राजाका सबैभन्दा माननीय अधिकारीहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई दिइयोस् । राजाले सम्मान गर्न खोज्नुभएको मानिसलाई तिनीहरूले त्यो पोशाक पहिराऊन्, र तिनलाई घोडामा सवार गराएर सहरका सडकहरू घुमाऊन् । तिनीहरूले तिनको सामु घोषणा गरून्, 'राजाले सम्मान गर्ने इच्छा गर्नुभएको मानिसलाई यसै गरिन्छ' ।”
Have the robes and the horse handed over to one of the king's highest officials and nobles. Let him make sure the man the king wishes to honor is dressed in the royal robes and that he rides on the horse through the city streets, and have the official announce before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!’”
10 तब राजाले हामानलाई भने, “छिटो गर, तिमीले भनेझैँ पोशाक र घोडा लिएर आऊ, अनि राजाको ढाकामा बस्ने यहूदी मोर्दकैलाई यसै गर । तिमीले भनेका एउटै कुरा गर्न पनि नचुक ।”
Then the king told Haman, “Right! Off you go! Quickly get the royal robes and the horse, and do just what you've said for Mordecai the Jew sitting at the palace gate. Don't leave out anything that you mentioned.”
11 तब हामानले पोशाक र घोडा ल्याए । तिनले मोर्दकैलाई उक्त पोशाक लगाइदिए, र तिनलाई घोडामा सवार गराएर सहरका सडकहरूमा घुमाए । तिनको सामु तिनले घोषणा गरे, “राजाले सम्मान गर्न इच्छा गर्नुभएको मानिसलाई यसै गरिन्छ ।”
Haman went and got the robes and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and placed him on the horse, and led him through the streets of the city, shouting before him, “This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!”
12 मोर्दकै राजाको ढोकामा फर्के । तर हामानचाहिं शिर ढाकेर शोक गर्दै हतार गरी आफ्नो घरमा गए ।
Mordecai went back to the palace gate, but Haman rushed home, crying and covering his head in shame.
13 हामानले आफूमाथि आइपरेका सबै कुरा आफ्नी पत्नी जेरेश र आफ्ना सबै मित्रहरूलाई बताए । तब बुद्धिको निम्ति कहलिएका तिनका मानिसहरू र तिनकी पत्नी जेरेशले तिनलाई भने, “मोर्दकै जसको सामुन्ने तपाईंको पतनको सुरु भएको छ, त्यो यहूदी हो भने तपाईंले त्यसलाई पराजित गर्न सक्नुहुनेछैन, तर निश्चय नै त्यसको सामु तपाईं पतन हुनेछ ।”
Haman explained to his wife Zeresh and all his friends what had happened to him. These wise friends and his wife Zeresh told him, “If Mordecai is one of the Jewish people, and you have already begun to lose status before him—you won't be able to beat him! You're going to lose to him, you're going to fall!”
14 तिनीहरू तिनीसित कुराकानी गरिरहँदा राजाका अधिकारीहरू आइपुगे । एस्तरले तयार पारेको भोजमा लैजान तिनीहरूले हामानलाई हतार गरे ।
While they were still talking to him, the king's eunuchs arrived and quickly took Haman to the dinner which Esther had prepared.
