Esther 6
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.
On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the 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.
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
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.”
And the king said, What honor and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered to him, 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 said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows 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 king’s servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, 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?”
So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?
7 Nítorí náà Hamani dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Fún ọkùnrin tí inú ọba dùn sí láti dá lọ́lá,
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,
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 the royal apparel be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and the crown royal which is set on 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 this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man with whom the king delights to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
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, and take the apparel and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sits at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that you have 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!”
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
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 again to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
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 told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom you have begun to fall, you shall not prevail against him, but shall 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 king’s chamberlains, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
