Ester 6
1 Naquela mesma noite fugiu o sono do rei: então mandou trazer o livro das memórias das crônicas, e se leram diante do rei.
That night the king could not sleep. He commanded servants to bring the records of the events of his reign, and they were being read aloud to the king.
2 E achou-se escrito que mardoqueu tinha dado notícia de Bigthan e de Teres, dois eunucos do rei, dos da guarda da porta, que procuraram pôr as mãos no rei Assuero.
It was found recorded there that Mordecai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officials who guarded the entrance, who had tried to harm King Ahasuerus.
3 Então disse o rei: Que honra e magnificência se fez por isto a mardoqueu? E os mancebos do rei, seus servos, disseram: Coisa nenhuma se lhe fez.
The king asked, “What was done to give honor or recognition to Mordecai for doing this?” Then the king's young men who served him said, “Nothing was done for him.”
4 Então disse o rei: Quem está no pátio? E Haman tinha entrado no pátio exterior do rei, para dizer ao rei que enforcassem a mardoqueu na forca que lhe tinha preparado.
The king said, “Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had entered the outer courtyard of the king's house to speak to him about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he set up for him.
5 E os mancebos do rei lhe disseram: Eis que Haman está no pátio. E disse o rei que entrasse.
The king's servants said to him, “Haman is standing in the courtyard.” 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?
When Haman entered, the king said to him, “What should be done for the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Whom would the king take pleasure in honoring more than me?”
7 Pelo que disse Haman ao rei: O homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada,
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring,
8 Traga o vestido real de que o rei se costuma vestir, como também o cavalo em que o rei costuma andar montado, e ponha-se-lhe a coroa real na sua cabeça;
let royal robes be brought, robes that the king has worn, and a horse that the king has ridden and on whose head is the royal crest.
9 E entregue-se o vestido e o cavalo, à mão dum dos príncipes do rei, dos maiores senhores, e vistam dele aquele homem de cuja honra se agrada: e levem-no a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregôe-se diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
Then let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring, and let them lead him on the horse through the city streets. Let them proclaim before him, 'This is what is done to the one whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!'”
10 Então disse o rei a Haman: Apressa-te, toma o vestido e o cavalo, como disseste, e faze assim para com o judeu mardoqueu, que está assentado à porta do rei; e coisa nenhuma deixes cair de tudo quanto disseste.
Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Do not fail in a single matter of what you have said.”
11 E Haman tomou o vestido e o cavalo, e vestiu a mardoqueu, e o levou a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregoou diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
Then Haman took the robe and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and led him on the horse through the city streets. He proclaimed before him, “This is what is done for a man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!”
12 Depois disto mardoqueu voltou para a porta do rei: porém Haman se retirou correndo a sua casa, anojado, e coberta a cabeça.
Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning, with his head covered.
13 E contou Haman a Zeres, sua mulher, e a todos os seus amigos, tudo quanto lhe tinha sucedido. Então os seus sábios, e Zeres, sua mulher, lhe disseram: Se mardoqueu, diante de quem já começaste a cair, é da semente dos judeus, não prevalecerás contra ele, antes certamente cairás perante ele.
Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that happened to him. Then his men who were known for their wisdom, and Zeresh his wife, said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is Jewish, you will not overcome him, but you will certainly fall before him.”
14 Estando eles ainda falando com ele, chegaram os eunucos do rei, e se apressaram a levar Haman ao banquete que Esther preparara.
While they were talking with him, the king's officials arrived. They hurried to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared.
