فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ طَارَ نَوْمُ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَأَمَرَ بِأَنْ يُؤْتَى بِسِفْرِ تَذْكَارِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فَقُرِئَتْ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١ 1
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.
فَوُجِدَ مَكْتُوبًا مَا أَخْبَرَ بِهِ مُرْدَخَايُ عَنْ بِغْثَانَا وَتَرَشَ خَصِيَّيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ حَارِسَيِ ٱلْبَابِ، ٱللَّذَيْنِ طَلَبَا أَنْ يَمُدَّا أَيْدِيَهُمَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ. ٢ 2
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.
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَيَّةُ كَرَامَةٍ وَعَظَمَةٍ عُمِلَتْ لِمُرْدَخَايَ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا؟» فَقَالَ غِلْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَهُ: «لَمْ يُعْمَلْ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ». ٣ 3
And the king said, What honour and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
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
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
فَقَالَ غِلْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا هَامَانُ وَاقِفٌ فِي ٱلدَّارِ». فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «لِيَدْخُلْ». ٥ 5
And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
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
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delights to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
فَقَالَ هَامَانُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ ٧ 7
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honour,
يَأْتُونَ بِٱللِّبَاسِ ٱلسُّلْطَانِيِّ ٱلَّذِي يَلْبَسُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَبِالْفَرَسِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْكَبُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَبِتَاجِ ٱلْمُلْكِ ٱلَّذِي يُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، ٨ 8
Let the royal apparel be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his 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
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 likewise whom the king delights to honour, 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 honour.
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 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.
فَأَخَذَ هَامَانُ ٱللِّبَاسَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ وَأَلْبَسَ مُرْدَخَايَ وَأَرْكَبَهُ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَنَادَى قُدَّامَهُ: «هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ». ١١ 11
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 unto the man whom the king delights to honour.
وَرَجَعَ مُرْدَخَايُ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَأَمَّا هَامَانُ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ نَائِحًا وَمُغَطَّى ٱلرَّأْسِ. ١٢ 12
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
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
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 unto 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.
وَفِيمَا هُمْ يُكَلِّمُونَهُ وَصَلَ خِصْيَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَسْرَعُوا لِلْإِتْيَانِ بِهَامَانَ إِلَى ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَتْهَا أَسْتِيرُ. ١٤ 14
And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
