एस्तर 6
1 त्यस रात राजा सुत्न सकेनन् । तिनले सेवकहरूलाई आफ्नो राज्यकालका घटनाहरूको विवरणहरू ल्याउन हुकुम गरे, र राजाको सामु चर्को सोरमा ति पढियो ।
On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.
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 ।
It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
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 ।”
The king said, “What honour and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
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 ।
The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 राजाका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हामान चोकमा उभिरहेका छन् ।” राजाले भने, “तिनी भित्र आऊन् ।”
The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
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?”
So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honour more than myself?”
7 हामानले राजालाई भने, “जुन मानिसलाई राजाले सम्मान दिन इच्छा गर्नुभएको छ,
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honour,
8 राजाकीय पोशाक, राजाले पहिरिनुभएको वस्त्र अनि राजाले सवार गर्नुभएको शिरमा राजकीय चिन्ह लगाइएको घोडा ल्याइयोस् ।
let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.
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' ।”
Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honour with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!’”
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 said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”
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 ।”
Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!”
12 मोर्दकै राजाको ढोकामा फर्के । तर हामानचाहिं शिर ढाकेर शोक गर्दै हतार गरी आफ्नो घरमा गए ।
Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
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 recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”
14 तिनीहरू तिनीसित कुराकानी गरिरहँदा राजाका अधिकारीहरू आइपुगे । एस्तरले तयार पारेको भोजमा लैजान तिनीहरूले हामानलाई हतार गरे ।
While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
