1 Usiku ule mfalme hakupata usingizi, hivyo akaagiza aletewe kitabu cha kumbukumbu za matukio ya utawala wake, asomewe.
On that night the sleep of the king has fled away, and he commands to bring in the scroll of memorials of the chronicles, and they are read before the king,
2 Kitabu hicho kilikutwa na kumbukumbu kwamba Mordekai alikuwa amefichua jinsi Bigthana na Tereshi, waliokuwa maafisa wawili wa mfalme, walinzi wa lango walivyokuwa wamepanga hila ya kumuua Mfalme Ahasuero.
and it is found written that Mordecai had declared concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king, of the keepers of the threshold, who sought to put forth a hand on King Ahasuerus.
3 Mfalme akauliza, “Je, ni heshima na shukrani gani Mordekai alipokea kwa ajili ya jambo hili?” Watumishi wake wakajibu, “Hakuna lolote alilofanyiwa.”
And the king says, “What honor and greatness has been done to Mordecai for this?” And the servants of the king, his ministers, say, “Nothing has been done with him.”
4 Mfalme akasema, “Ni nani yuko uani?” Wakati huo huo Hamani alikuwa ameingia ua wa nje wa jumba la mfalme kusema na mfalme kuhusu kumwangika Mordekai katika mahali pa kuangikia watu alipokuwa amepajenga kwa ajili yake.
And the king says, “Who [is] in the court?” And Haman has come into the outer court of the house of the king, to say to the king to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him.
5 Watumishi wake wakamjibu, “Hamani amesimama uani.” Mfalme akaamuru, “Mleteni ndani.”
And the servants of the king say to him, “Behold, Haman is standing in the court”; and the king says, “Let him come in.”
6 Hamani alipoingia, mfalme alimuuliza, “Afanyiwe nini mtu ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu?” Basi Hamani akawaza moyoni mwake, “Ni nani mwingine ambaye mfalme angemheshimu kuliko mimi?”
And Haman comes in, and the king says to him, “What should [I] do with the man in whose honor the king has delighted?” And Haman says in his heart, “To whom does the king delight to do honor more than myself?”
7 Kwa hiyo akamjibu mfalme, “Kwa mtu ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu,
And Haman says to the king, “The man in whose honor the king has delighted,
8 aletewe joho la kifalme ambalo mfalme ameshalivaa na farasi ambaye mfalme alishampanda, ambaye amevikwa taji ya kifalme kichwani mwake.
let them bring in royal clothing that the king has put on himself, and a horse on which the king has ridden, and that the royal crown be put on his head,
9 Kisha joho na farasi vikabidhiwe kwa mmojawapo wa wakuu wa mfalme anayeheshimika sana. Nao wamvike mtu yule ambaye mfalme anapenda kumheshimu, na aongozwe akiwa juu ya farasi kupitia barabara za mji, wakitangaza mbele yake, ‘Hivi ndivyo anavyofanyiwa mtu ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu!’”
and to give the clothing and the horse into the hand of a man of the heads of the king, the chiefs, and they have clothed the man in whose honor the king has delighted, and caused him to ride on the horse in a broad place of the city, and called before him: Thus it is done to the man in whose honor the king has delighted.”
10 Mfalme akamwamuru Hamani, “Nenda mara moja, chukua joho na farasi na ufanye kama vile ulivyopendekeza kwa Mordekai Myahudi, akaaye langoni mwa mfalme. Usipuuze kufanya kitu chochote ulichoshauri.”
And the king says to Haman, “Hurry, take the clothing and the horse, as you have spoken, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in the gate of the king; there does not fall a thing of all that you have spoken.”
11 Hivyo Hamani akachukua joho na farasi. Akamvika Mordekai, na kumpandisha juu ya farasi akamtembeza katika barabara za mji akitangaza mbele yake, “Hivi ndivyo anavyofanyiwa mtu ambaye mfalme anapenda kumheshimu!”
And Haman takes the clothing, and the horse, and clothed Mordecai, and causes him to ride in a broad place of the city, and calls before him, “Thus it is done to the man in whose glory the king has delighted.”
12 Baadaye Mordekai akarudi kwenye lango la mfalme. Lakini Hamani akakimbia nyumbani, akiwa amejaa huzuni,
And Mordecai turns back to the gate of the king, and Haman has been hurried to his house mourning, and with covered head,
13 naye akamweleza Zereshi mkewe pamoja na rafiki zake wote kila kitu ambacho kimempata. Washauri wake pamoja na Zereshi mkewe wakamwambia, “Kwa kuwa Mordekai, ambaye mbele yake umeanza kuanguka ni wa asili ya Kiyahudi, huwezi kushindana naye; kwa hakika utaanguka!”
and Haman recounts to his wife Zeresh, and to all his friends, all that has met him, and his wise men and his wife Zeresh say to him, “If Mordecai [is] of the seed of the Jews, before whom you have begun to fall, you are not able for him, but certainly fall before him.”
14 Walipokuwa bado wakizungumza naye, matowashi wa mfalme wakaja na kumharakisha Hamani aende katika karamu aliyoiandaa Esta.
They are yet speaking with him, and eunuchs of the king have come, and hurry to bring in Haman to the banquet that Esther has made.
