Jestira 6
1 Onu noæ ne mogaše car spavati, i zapovjedi te mu donesoše knjigu od znamenitijeh dogaðaja, dnevnike, te je èitaše caru.
During that night, the sleep of the king fled, —and he commanded to bring in the book of remembrance, 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, how that Mordecai had told concerning Bigthana and Teresh, the two eunuchs of the king guarding the threshold, —who had sought to thrust forth a hand upon 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.
Then said the king, What honour and dignity hath been done unto Mordecai, for this? Then said the king’s young men, who were ministering unto him, Nothing hath been 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.
Then said the king, Who is in the court? Now, Haman, had come into the outer court of the kings house, to speak unto the king, to hang Mordecai, upon the gallows which 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 young men said unto him, Lo! Haman, standing 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 in whose honour, the king delighteth? Then said Haman, in his own heart, Unto whom will the king delight to do honour, more than unto me?
7 I reèe Aman caru: koga car hoæe da proslavi,
So Haman said unto the king, —As touching the man in whose honour, the king, delighteth,
8 Treba donijeti carsko odijelo koje car nosi, i dovesti konja na kom car jaše, i metnuti mu na glavu vijenac carski;
let them bring in royal apparel wherewith the king hath clothed himself, —and the horse whereon the king hath ridden, and the royal crown which hath been set upon his own 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.
and let the apparel and the horse be delivered unto the hand of one of the king’s rulers, one of the nobles, and so let them array the man, in whose honour, the king, delighteth, —and cause him to ride upon the horse through the broadway of the city, and let them proclaim before him, Thus and thus, shall it be done unto the man in whose honour, the king, delighteth!
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 said the king unto Haman, Haste, take the apparel and the horse, just as thou hast said, and do even so unto Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in the kings gate, —do not let fail a thing, of all which 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.
So Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, —and caused him to ride through the broadway of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus and thus, shall it be done unto the man in whoso honour, the king, delighteth!
12 Potom se vrati Mardohej na vrata careva, a Aman brže otide kuæi svojoj žalostan i pokrivene glave.
Then Mordecai returned unto the gate of the king, —but, Haman, hurried unto his own house, mourning, and with covered head.
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 unto all his friends, everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men, and Zeresh his wife, unto him, If, of the seed of the Jews, is Mordecai before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt, utterly fall, before him.
14 I dok oni još govorahu s njim, doðoše dvorani carevi i brže odvedoše Amana na objed koji zgotovi Jestira.
While yet they were speaking with him, the eunuchs of the king, had come, —and they hastened to bring Haman, unto the banquet which Esther had prepared.
