Ester 6
1 Naquela noite o rei perdeu o sono. Então ele mandou trazer o livro das memórias das crônicas: e elas foram lidas na presença do rei.
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 E achou-se escrito que Mardoqueu havia denunciado Bigtã e de Teres, dois eunucos do rei, da guarda da porta, que tinham procurado matar o rei Assuero.
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 Então o rei disse: Que honra e que condecoração se fez a Mardoqueu por isto? E os servos do rei que o serviam disseram: Nada foi feito com ele.
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 Então o rei disse: Quem está no pátio? (Pois Hamã tinha vindo ao pátio de fora da casa do rei, para dizer ao rei que enforcassem a Mardoqueu na forca que tinha preparado para ele).
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 E os servos do rei lhe responderam: Eis que Hamã está no pátio. E o rei mandou que ele entrasse.
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 Quando Hamã entrou, o rei lhe perguntou: Que se fará ao homem a quem rei deseja honrar? Então Hamã pensou em seu coração: A quem o rei desejará mais dar honra que a mim?
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 Por isso Hamã respondeu ao rei: Ao homem a quem o rei deseja honrar,
And Haman, answering the king, said, For the man whom the king has delight in honouring,
8 Tragam o vestido real de que o rei costuma se vestir, o cavalo em que o rei costuma cavalgar, e ponha-se a coroa real sobre sua cabeça.
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 E entregue-se o vestido e o cavalo na mão de um dos mais importantes príncipes do rei, e vistam a tal homem a quem o rei deseja honrar, e levem-no a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e proclamem diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem a quem o rei deseja honrar!
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 Então o rei disse a Hamã: Apressa-te, toma o vestido e o cavalo, como disseste, e faze assim para com o judeu Mardoqueu, que se senta à porta do rei; não omitas coisa alguma de tudo quanto disseste.
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 E Hamã tomou o vestido e o cavalo, e vestiu a Mardoqueu; e o levou a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e proclamou diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem a quem o rei deseja honrar!
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 Depois disto Mardoqueu voltou à porta do rei. Porém Hamã se retirou correndo para sua casa, aborrecido, e com sua cabeça coberta.
And Mordecai came back to the king's doorway. But Haman went quickly back to his house, sad and with his head covered.
13 E Hamã contou a sua mulher Zeres e a todos seus amigos tudo o que tinha lhe acontecido; então seus sábios e sua mulher Zeres lhe disseram: Se Mardoqueu, diante de quem começaste a cair, é da semente dos judeus, tu não prevalecerás contra ele; ao contrário, certamente cairás diante dele.
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 Enquanto eles ainda estavam falando com ele, os eunucos do rei chegaram, apressados, para levarem Hamã ao banquete que Ester havia preparado.
While they were still talking, the king's servants came to take Haman to the feast which Esther had made ready.
