Ester 6
1 Nang gabing yaon ay hindi makatulog ang hari; at kaniyang iniutos na dalhin ang aklat ng mga alaala ng mga gawa, at mga binasa sa harap ng hari.
That night the king was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of them to the king.
2 At nasumpungang nakasulat, na si Mardocheo ay nagsaysay tungkol kay Bigthana at kay Teres, dalawa sa mga kamarero ng hari, sa nangagingat ng pintuan na nangagisip magbuhat ng kamay sa haring Assuero.
[The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
3 At sinabi ng hari, Anong karangalan at kamahalan ang nagawa kay Mardocheo sa bagay na ito? Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng mga lingkod ng hari na nagsisipaglingkod sa kaniya, Walang anomang nagawa sa kaniya.
The king asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything for him.”
4 At sinabi ng hari, Sino ang nasa looban? Si Aman nga ay pumasok sa looban ng bahay ng hari, upang magsalita sa hari na bitayin si Mardocheo sa bibitayan na inihanda niya sa kaniya.
At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
5 At ang mga lingkod ng hari ay nagsabi sa kaniya. Narito, si Aman ay nakatayo sa looban. At sinabi ng hari, Papasukin siya.
His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
6 Sa gayo'y pumasok si Aman. At ang hari ay nagsabi sa kaniya, Anong gagawin sa lalake na kinalulugdang parangalin ng hari? Sinabi nga ni Aman sa kaniyang sarili: Sino ang kinalulugdang parangalin ng hari na higit kay sa akin?
When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
7 At sinabi ni Aman sa hari, Sa lalake na kinalulugdang parangalin ng hari,
So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
8 Ay dalhan ng damit-hari na isinusuot ng hari, at ng kabayo na sinasakyan ng hari, at putungan sa ulo ng putong na hari:
you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
9 At ang bihisan at ang kabayo ay mabigay sa kamay ng isa sa pinakamahal na prinsipe ng hari, upang bihisang gayon ang lalake na kinalulugdang parangalin ng hari, at pasakayin siya sa kabayo sa lansangan ng bayan, at itanyag sa unahan niya; Ganito ang gagawin sa lalake na kinalulugdang parangalin ng hari.
Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants to honor!’”
10 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng hari kay Aman, Ikaw ay magmadali, at kunin mo ang bihisan at ang kabayo, gaya ng iyong sinabi, at gawin mong gayon kay Mardocheo, na Judio, na nauupo sa pintuang-daan ng hari; huwag magkulang ang anomang bagay sa lahat na iyong sinalita.
The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you suggested!”
11 Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ni Aman ang bihisan at ang kabayo, at binihisan si Mardocheo, at pinasakay sa lansangan ng bayan, at nagtanyag sa unahan niya: Ganito ang gagawin sa lalake na kinalulugdang parangalin ng hari.
So Haman did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants to honor!”
12 At si Mardocheo ay bumalik sa pintuang-daan ng hari. Nguni't si Aman ay nagmadaling umuwi, na tumatangis at may takip ang ulo.
Then, Mordecai returned [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
13 At isinaysay ni Aman kay Zeres na kaniyang asawa at sa lahat niyang mga kaibigan ang bawa't bagay na nangyari sa kaniya. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang mga pantas na lalake, at ni Zeres na kaniyang asawa sa kaniya: Kung si Mardocheo, na iyong pinasimulang kinahulugan sa harap, ay sa binhi ng mga Judio, hindi ka mananaig laban sa kaniya, kundi ikaw ay walang pagsalang mahuhulog sa harap niya.
He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
14 Samantalang sila'y nakikipagsalitaan pa sa kaniya, dumating ang mga kamarero ng hari at nagmadaling dinala si Aman sa pigingan na inihanda ni Esther.
And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther had prepared.
