Jestira 6
1 Onu noæ ne mogaše car spavati, i zapovjedi te mu donesoše knjigu od znamenitijeh dogaðaja, dnevnike, te je èitaše caru.
On that night could not the king sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.
2 I naðe se zapisano kako je Mardohej prokazao za Vihtana i Teresa, dva dvoranina, koji èuvahu stražu na pragu, da gledaju da dignu ruke na cara Asvira.
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, of those that kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
3 Tada reèe car: kaka je èast i kako je dobro uèinjeno Mardoheju za to? A momci carevi, sluge njegove, rekoše: nije mu uèinjeno ništa.
And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been bestowed on Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
4 A car reèe: ko je u trijemu? A Aman bješe došao u spoljašnji trijem dvora careva da kaže caru da se objesi Mardohej na vješala koja mu je pripravio.
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 A momci carevi rekoše mu: gle, Aman stoji u trijemu. A car reèe: neka doðe.
And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 I Aman doðe, a car mu reèe: šta treba uèiniti èovjeku kojega car hoæe da proslavi? A Aman reèe u sebi: koga bi car htio proslaviti ako ne mene?
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?
7 I reèe Aman caru: koga car hoæe da proslavi,
And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,
8 Treba donijeti carsko odijelo koje car nosi, i dovesti konja na kom car jaše, i metnuti mu na glavu vijenac carski;
let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:
9 I odijelo i konja treba dati kome izmeðu najveæih knezova carevijeh da obuku èovjeka onoga kojega car hoæe da proslavi, pa da ga provedu na konju po ulicama gradskim i vièu pred njim: ovako biva èovjeku koga car hoæe da proslavi.
and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.
10 Tada reèe car Amanu: brže uzmi odijelo i konja kao što reèe, i uèini tako Mardoheju, Judejcu koji sjedi na vratima carevijem; nemoj izostaviti ništa što si rekao.
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
11 I uze Aman odijelo i konja, i obuèe Mardoheja i provede ga na konju po ulicama gradskim vièuæi pred njim: ovako biva èovjeku koga car hoæe da proslavi.
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor.
12 Potom se vrati Mardohej na vrata careva, a Aman brže otide kuæi svojoj žalostan i pokrivene glave.
And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13 I pripovjedi Aman Seresi ženi svojoj i svijem prijateljima svojim sve što mu se dogodi. Tada mu rekoše mudarci njegovi i Seresa žena njegova: kad je od Judejskoga sjemena Mardohej pred kojim si poèeo padati, neæeš mu odoljeti, nego æeš pasti pred njim.
And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
14 I dok oni još govorahu s njim, doðoše dvorani carevi i brže odvedoše Amana na objed koji zgotovi Jestira.
While they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
