1 Ní òru ọjọ́ náà ọba kò le è sùn; nítorí náà, ó pàṣẹ kí wọn mú ìwé ìrántí wá, àkọsílẹ̀ ìjọba rẹ̀, wọ́n mú un wá wọ́n sì kà á sí létí.
The same night the King slept not, and he comanded to bring ye booke of the records, and the chronicles: and they were read before ye King.
2 Wọ́n rí àkọsílẹ̀ níbẹ̀ pé Mordekai tí sọ àṣírí Bigitana àti Tereṣi, àwọn ìjòyè ọba méjì tí wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà, tí wọ́n ń gbèrò láti pa ọba Ahaswerusi.
Then it was found written that Mordecai had tolde of Bigtana, and Teresh two of the Kings eunuches, keepers of the dore, who sought to lay hands on the King Ahashuerosh.
3 Ọba béèrè pé, “Kí ni ọlá àti iyì tí Mordekai ti gbà fún èyí?” Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì dáhùn pé, “Kò tí ì sí ohun tí a ṣe fún un.”
Then the King sayde, What honour and dignitie hath bene giuen to Mordecai for this? And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, There is nothing done for him.
4 Ọba wí pé, “Ta ni ó wà nínú àgbàlá?” Nísinsin yìí, Hamani ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọ àgbàlá ìta ààfin ni láti sọ fún ọba nípa síso Mordekai lórí igi tí ó ti rì fún un.
And the King sayde, Who is in the court? (Now Haman was come into the inner court of the Kings house, that he might speake vnto the King to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him.)
5 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì dáhùn pé, “Hamani ni ó wà níbẹ̀ ó dúró sí inú àgbàlá.” Ọba pàṣẹ pé, “Ẹ mú un wọlé wá.”
And the Kings seruants said vnto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the King sayd, Let him come in.
6 Nígbà tí Hamani wọlé, ọba béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ni kí a ṣe fún ọkùnrin tí inú ọba dùn sí láti bu ọlá fún?” Nísinsin yìí Hamani sì ro èyí fúnra rẹ̀ pé, “Ta ni ó wà níbẹ̀ tí ọba fẹ́ dá lọ́lá ju èmi lọ?”
And when Haman came in, the King saide vnto him, What shalbe done vnto ye man, whom the King will honour? Then Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the King do honour more then to me?
7 Nítorí náà Hamani dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Fún ọkùnrin tí inú ọba dùn sí láti dá lọ́lá,
And Haman answered the King, The man whome the King would honour,
8 jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó mú aṣọ ọba èyí tí ọba ń wọ̀ àti ẹṣin tí ọba máa ń gùn, pẹ̀lú ọ̀kan lára adé ọba kí a fi dé e ní orí.
Let them bring for him royall apparell, which the King vseth to weare, and the horse that the King rideth vpon, and that the crowne royall may be set vpon his head.
9 Jẹ́ kí a fi aṣọ àti ẹṣin lé ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìjòyè ọba tí ó ga jùlọ lọ́wọ́, kí wọn wọ aṣọ náà fún ọkùnrin tí inú ọba dùn sí láti dá lọ́lá, kí wọn sì sìn ín gun ẹṣin jákèjádò gbogbo ìgboro ìlú, kí wọn máa kéde níwájú rẹ̀ pé, ‘Èyí ni a ṣe fún ọkùnrin náà ẹni tí inú ọba dùn sí láti dá lọ́lá!’”
And let the raiment and the horse be deliuered by the hand of one of the Kings most noble princes, and let them apparel the man (whome the King will honour) and cause him to ride vpon the horse thorow the streete of the citie, and proclayme before him, Thus shall it be done vnto the man, whome the King will honour.
10 Ọba pàṣẹ fún Hamani pé, “Lọ lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà. Mú aṣọ náà àti ẹṣin kí o sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ṣe sọ fún Mordekai ará a Júù, ẹni tí ó jókòó sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ọba. Má ṣe fi ohunkóhun sílẹ̀ nínú ohun tí o ti yàn.”
Then the King said to Haman, Make haste, take the rayment and the horse as thou hast said, and doe so vnto Mordecai the Iewe, that sitteth at the Kings gate: let nothing fayle of all that thou hast spoken.
11 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Hamani ṣe mú aṣọ àti ẹṣin náà. Ó fi wọ Mordekai, Mordekai sì wà lórí ẹṣin jákèjádò gbogbo ìgboro ìlú, ó sì ń kéde níwájú rẹ̀ pé, “Èyí ni a ó ṣe fún ọkùnrin náà ẹni tí inú ọba dùn sí láti dá lọ́lá!”
So Haman tooke the rayment and the horse, and arayed Mordecai, and brought him on horse backe thorowe the streete of the citie, and proclaymed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the King will honour.
12 Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí Mordekai padà sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ọba. Ṣùgbọ́n Hamani sáré lọ ilé, ó sì bo orí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìbànújẹ́,
And Mordecai came againe to the Kings gate, but Haman hasted home mourning and his head couered.
13 Hamani sì sọ ohun gbogbo tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ sí i fún Sereṣi ìyàwó rẹ̀ àti àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀. Àwọn olùbádámọ̀ràn rẹ̀ àti ìyàwó o rẹ̀ sọ fún un pé, “Níwọ́n ìgbà tí Mordekai ti jẹ́ ẹ̀yà Júù, níwájú ẹni tí ìṣubú rẹ̀ ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, ìwọ kò lè rí ẹ̀yìn in rẹ̀—dájúdájú ìwọ yóò parun!”
And Haman tolde Zeresh his wife, and all his friends all that had befallen him. Then sayd his wise men, and Zeresh his wife vnto him, If Mordecai be of the seede of the Iewes, before whom thou hast begunne to fall; thou shalt not preuaile against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
14 Bí wọ́n ṣe ń bá a sọ̀rọ̀, àwọn ìwẹ̀fà ọba wọlé, wọ́n sì kán Hamani lójú láti lọ sí ibi àsè tí Esteri ti pèsè.
And while they were yet talking with him, came the Kings eunuches and hasted to bring Haman vnto the banket that Ester had prepared.
