Ester 6
1 N'aquella mesma noite fugiu o somno do rei: então mandou trazer o livro das memorias das chronicas, e se leram diante do rei.
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 E achou-se escripto que Mardoqueo tinha dado noticia de Bigthan e de Teres, dois eunuchos do rei, dos da guarda da porta, que procuraram pôr as mãos no rei Assuero.
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 Então disse o rei: Que honra e magnificencia se fez por isto a Mardoqueo? E os mancebos do rei, seus servos, disseram: Coisa nenhuma se lhe fez.
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 Então disse o rei: Quem está no pateo? E Haman tinha entrado no pateo exterior do rei, para dizer ao rei que enforcassem a Mardoqueo na forca que lhe tinha preparado.
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 E os mancebos do rei lhe disseram: Eis que Haman está no pateo. E disse o rei que entrasse.
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 E, entrando Haman, o rei lhe disse: Que se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada? Então Haman disse no seu coração: De quem se agradará o rei para lhe fazer honra mais do que a mim?
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 Pelo que disse Haman ao rei: O homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada,
Haman therefore said to the king, [For] the man whom the king desireth to honor,
8 Traga o vestido real de que o rei se costuma vestir, como tambem o cavallo em que o rei costuma andar montado, e ponha-se-lhe a corôa real na sua cabeça;
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 E entregue-se o vestido e o cavallo, á mão d'um dos principes do rei, dos maiores senhores, e vistam d'elle aquelle homem de cuja honra se agrada: e levem-n'o a cavallo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregôe-se diante d'elle: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
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 Então disse o rei a Haman: Apressa-te, toma o vestido e o cavallo, como disseste, e faze assim para com o judeo Mardoqueo, que está assentado á porta do rei; e coisa nenhuma deixes cair de tudo quanto disseste.
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 E Haman tomou o vestido e o cavallo, e vestiu a Mardoqueo, e o levou a cavallo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregoou diante d'elle: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
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 Depois d'isto Mardoqueo voltou para a porta do rei: porém Haman se retirou correndo a sua casa, anojado, e coberta a cabeça.
And Mordecai thereupon returned to the king's gate; but Haman hastened to his house, mourning, and having his head covered.
13 E contou Haman a Zeres, sua mulher, e a todos os seus amigos, tudo quanto lhe tinha succedido. Então os seus sabios, e Zeres, sua mulher, lhe disseram: Se Mardoqueo, diante de quem já começaste a cair, é da semente dos judeos, não prevalecerás contra elle, antes certamente cairás perante elle.
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 Estando elles ainda fallando com elle, chegaram os eunuchos do rei, e se apressaram a levar Haman ao banquete que Esther preparara.
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.
