أَسْتِير 6
| فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ طَارَ نَوْمُ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَأَمَرَ بِأَنْ يُؤْتَى بِسِفْرِ تَذْكَارِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فَقُرِئَتْ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ١ 1 |
That night the king could not sleep. He commanded servants to bring the records of the events of his reign, and they were being read aloud to 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 |
It was found recorded there that Mordecai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officials who guarded the entrance, who had tried to harm King Ahasuerus.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «أَيَّةُ كَرَامَةٍ وَعَظَمَةٍ عُمِلَتْ لِمُرْدَخَايَ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا؟» فَقَالَ غِلْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْدِمُونَهُ: «لَمْ يُعْمَلْ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ». | ٣ 3 |
The king asked, “What was done to give honor or recognition to Mordecai for doing this?” Then the king's young men who served him said, “Nothing was 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 |
The king said, “Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had entered the outer courtyard of the king's house to speak to him about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he set up for him.
| فَقَالَ غِلْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا هَامَانُ وَاقِفٌ فِي ٱلدَّارِ». فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «لِيَدْخُلْ». | ٥ 5 |
The king's servants said to him, “Haman is standing in the courtyard.” 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 |
When Haman entered, the king said to him, “What should be done for the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Whom would the king take pleasure in honoring more than me?”
| فَقَالَ هَامَانُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ | ٧ 7 |
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring,
| يَأْتُونَ بِٱللِّبَاسِ ٱلسُّلْطَانِيِّ ٱلَّذِي يَلْبَسُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَبِالْفَرَسِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْكَبُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَبِتَاجِ ٱلْمُلْكِ ٱلَّذِي يُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، | ٨ 8 |
let royal robes be brought, robes that the king has worn, and a horse that the king has ridden and on whose head is the royal crest.
| 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 |
Then let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring, and let them lead him on the horse through the city streets. Let them proclaim before him, 'This is what is done to the one whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!'”
| 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, “Hurry, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Do not fail in a single matter of what you have said.”
| فَأَخَذَ هَامَانُ ٱللِّبَاسَ وَٱلْفَرَسَ وَأَلْبَسَ مُرْدَخَايَ وَأَرْكَبَهُ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَنَادَى قُدَّامَهُ: «هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي يُسَرُّ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِأَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ». | ١١ 11 |
Then Haman took the robe and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and led him on the horse through the city streets. He proclaimed before him, “This is what is done for a man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!”
| وَرَجَعَ مُرْدَخَايُ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَأَمَّا هَامَانُ فَأَسْرَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ نَائِحًا وَمُغَطَّى ٱلرَّأْسِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning, with 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 |
Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that happened to him. Then his men who were known for their wisdom, and Zeresh his wife, said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is Jewish, you will not overcome him, but you will certainly fall before him.”
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يُكَلِّمُونَهُ وَصَلَ خِصْيَانُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَسْرَعُوا لِلْإِتْيَانِ بِهَامَانَ إِلَى ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَتْهَا أَسْتِيرُ. | ١٤ 14 |
While they were talking with him, the king's officials arrived. They hurried to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared.
