أَسْتِير 6
| فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ طَارَ نَوْمُ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَأَمَرَ بِأَنْ يُؤْتَى بِسِفْرِ تَذْكَارِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فَقُرِئَتْ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ١ 1 |
That night the king wasn't able to sleep, so he ordered the Book of Records of the King's Reign brought in so it could be read to him.
| فَوُجِدَ مَكْتُوبًا مَا أَخْبَرَ بِهِ مُرْدَخَايُ عَنْ بِغْثَانَا وَتَرَشَ خَصِيَّيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ حَارِسَيِ ٱلْبَابِ، ٱللَّذَيْنِ طَلَبَا أَنْ يَمُدَّا أَيْدِيَهُمَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ. | ٢ 2 |
There he discovered the account of what Mordecai had reported about Bigthana and Teresh, the two king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers who had plotted to assassinate King Xerxes.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَيَّةُ كَرَامَةٍ وَعَظَمَةٍ عُمِلَتْ لِمُرْدَخَايَ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا؟» فَقَالَ غِلْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَهُ: «لَمْ يُعْمَلْ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ». | ٣ 3 |
“What honor or position did Morcedai receive as a reward for doing this?” asked the king. “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king's attendants.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَنْ في ٱلدَّارِ؟» وَكَانَ هَامَانُ قَدْ دَخَلَ دَارَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةَ لِكَيْ يَقُولَ لِلْمَلِكِ أَنْ يُصْلَبَ مُرْدَخَايُ عَلَى ٱلْخَشَبَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعَدَّهَا لَهُ. | ٤ 4 |
“Who's here in the court?” the king asked. Haman had just happened to arrive in the outer court of the royal palace to ask the king to have Mordecai impaled on the pole he had set up for him.
| فَقَالَ غِلْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا هَامَانُ وَاقِفٌ فِي ٱلدَّارِ». فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «لِيَدْخُلْ». | ٥ 5 |
The king's attendants told him, “Haman is waiting in the court.” “Tell him to come in,” the king ordered.
| وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ هَامَانُ قَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَاذَا يُعْمَلُ لِرَجُلٍ يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ؟» فَقَالَ هَامَانُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «مَنْ يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي؟» | ٦ 6 |
When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should be done for a man the king wants to honor?” Haman said to himself, “Who would the king want to honor except me?”
| فَقَالَ هَامَانُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ | ٧ 7 |
So Haman said to the king, “A man whom the king wants to honor
| يَأْتُونَ بِٱللِّبَاسِ ٱلسُّلْطَانِيِّ ٱلَّذِي يَلْبَسُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَبِالْفَرَسِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْكَبُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَبِتَاجِ ٱلْمُلْكِ ٱلَّذِي يُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، | ٨ 8 |
should be brought royal robes the king has worn, a horse the king has ridden and which has a royal headdress on its head.
| وَيُدْفَعُ ٱللِّبَاسُ وَٱلْفَرَسُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْأَشْرَافِ، وَيُلْبِسُونَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي سُرَّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ وَيُرَكِّبُونَهُ عَلَى ٱلْفَرَسِ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَيُنَادُونَ قُدَّامَهُ: هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ». | ٩ 9 |
Have the robes and the horse handed over to one of the king's highest officials and nobles. Let him make sure the man the king wishes to honor is dressed in the royal robes and that he rides on the horse through the city streets, and have the official announce before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!’”
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِهَامَانَ: «أَسْرِعْ وَخُذِ ٱللِّبَاسَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ، وَٱفْعَلْ هَكَذَا لِمُرْدَخَايَ ٱلْيَهُودِيِّ ٱلْجَالِسِ فِي بَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. لَا يَسْقُطْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا قُلْتَهُ». | ١٠ 10 |
Then the king told Haman, “Right! Off you go! Quickly get the royal robes and the horse, and do just what you've said for Mordecai the Jew sitting at the palace gate. Don't leave out anything that you mentioned.”
| فَأَخَذَ هَامَانُ ٱللِّبَاسَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ وَأَلْبَسَ مُرْدَخَايَ وَأَرْكَبَهُ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَنَادَى قُدَّامَهُ: «هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ». | ١١ 11 |
Haman went and got the robes and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and placed him on the horse, and led him through the streets of the city, shouting before him, “This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!”
| وَرَجَعَ مُرْدَخَايُ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَأَمَّا هَامَانُ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ نَائِحًا وَمُغَطَّى ٱلرَّأْسِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Mordecai went back to the palace gate, but Haman rushed home, crying and covering his head in shame.
| وَقَصَّ هَامَانُ عَلَى زَرَشَ زَوْجَتِهِ وَجَمِيعِ أَحِبَّائِهِ كُلَّ مَا أَصَابَهُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ حُكَمَاؤُهُ وَزَرَشُ زَوْجَتُهُ: «إِذَا كَانَ مُرْدَخَايُ ٱلَّذِي ٱبْتَدَأْتَ تَسْقُطُ قُدَّامَهُ مِنْ نَسْلِ ٱلْيَهُودِ، فَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ، بَلْ تَسْقُطُ قُدَّامَهُ سُقُوطًا». | ١٣ 13 |
Haman explained to his wife Zeresh and all his friends what had happened to him. These wise friends and his wife Zeresh told him, “If Mordecai is one of the Jewish people, and you have already begun to lose status before him—you won't be able to beat him! You're going to lose to him, you're going to fall!”
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يُكَلِّمُونَهُ وَصَلَ خِصْيَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَسْرَعُوا لِلْإِتْيَانِ بِهَامَانَ إِلَى ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَتْهَا أَسْتِيرُ. | ١٤ 14 |
While they were still talking to him, the king's eunuchs arrived and quickly took Haman to the dinner which Esther had prepared.
