Jestira 6
1 Onu noæ ne mogaše car spavati, i zapovjedi te mu donesoše knjigu od znamenitijeh dogaðaja, dnevnike, te je èitaše caru.
That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
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 there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
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.
The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
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.
“Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
5 A momci carevi rekoše mu: gle, Aman stoji u trijemu. A car reèe: neka doðe.
So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
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?
Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”
7 I reèe Aman caru: koga car hoæe da proslavi,
And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
8 Treba donijeti carsko odijelo koje car nosi, i dovesti konja na kom car jaše, i metnuti mu na glavu vijenac carski;
have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head.
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.
Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted 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.
“Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”
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.
So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!”
12 Potom se vrati Mardohej na vrata careva, a Aman brže otide kuæi svojoj žalostan i pokrivene glave.
Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief.
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.
Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will 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 still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
