Esther 6
1 That night the king was unable to get any sleep; and he sent for the books of the records; and while some one was reading them to the king,
Naquela mesma noite fugiu o sono do rei: então mandou trazer o livro das memórias das crônicas, e se leram diante do rei.
2 It came out that it was recorded in the book how Mordecai had given word of the designs of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's servants, keepers of the door, by whom an attack on the king had been designed.
E achou-se escrito que mardoqueu tinha dado notícia de Bigthan e de Teres, dois eunucos do rei, dos da guarda da porta, que procuraram pôr as mãos no rei Assuero.
3 And the king said, What honour and reward have been given to Mordecai for this? Then the servants who were waiting on the king said, Nothing has been done for him.
Então disse o rei: Que honra e magnificência se fez por isto a mardoqueu? E os mancebos do rei, seus servos, disseram: Coisa nenhuma se lhe fez.
4 Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king's authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him.
Então disse o rei: Quem está no pátio? E Haman tinha entrado no pátio exterior do rei, para dizer ao rei que enforcassem a mardoqueu na forca que lhe tinha preparado.
5 And the king's servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in.
E os mancebos do rei lhe disseram: Eis que Haman está no pátio. E disse o rei que entrasse.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring? Then the thought came into Haman's mind, Whom, more than myself, would the king have pleasure in honouring?
E, entrando Haman, o rei lhe disse: Que se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada? Então Haman disse no seu coração: De quem se agradará o rei para lhe fazer honra mais do que a mim?
7 And Haman, answering the king, said, For the man whom the king has delight in honouring,
Pelo que disse Haman ao rei: O homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada,
8 Let them take the robes which the king generally puts on, and the horse on which the king goes, and the crown which is on his head:
Traga o vestido real de que o rei se costuma vestir, como também o cavalo em que o rei costuma andar montado, e ponha-se-lhe a coroa real na sua cabeça;
9 And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honouring, and let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.
E entregue-se o vestido e o cavalo, à mão dum dos príncipes do rei, dos maiores senhores, e vistam dele aquele homem de cuja honra se agrada: e levem-no a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregôe-se diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
10 Then the king said to Haman, Go quickly, and take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who is seated at the king's doorway: see that you do everything as you have said.
Então disse o rei a Haman: Apressa-te, toma o vestido e o cavalo, como disseste, e faze assim para com o judeu mardoqueu, que está assentado à porta do rei; e coisa nenhuma deixes cair de tudo quanto disseste.
11 Then Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.
E Haman tomou o vestido e o cavalo, e vestiu a mardoqueu, e o levou a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregoou diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
12 And Mordecai came back to the king's doorway. But Haman went quickly back to his house, sad and with his head covered.
Depois disto mardoqueu voltou para a porta do rei: porém Haman se retirou correndo a sua casa, anojado, e coberta a cabeça.
13 And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what had taken place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anything against him, but you will certainly go down before him.
E contou Haman a Zeres, sua mulher, e a todos os seus amigos, tudo quanto lhe tinha sucedido. Então os seus sábios, e Zeres, sua mulher, lhe disseram: Se mardoqueu, diante de quem já começaste a cair, é da semente dos judeus, não prevalecerás contra ele, antes certamente cairás perante ele.
14 While they were still talking, the king's servants came to take Haman to the feast which Esther had made ready.
Estando eles ainda falando com ele, chegaram os eunucos do rei, e se apressaram a levar Haman ao banquete que Esther preparara.
