Esther 6
1 On that night, the king could not sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.
Tanī naktī ķēniņam nenāca miegs un viņš pavēlēja, lai atnes laiku grāmatu, kur tās vērā liekamās lietas bija uzrakstītas.
2 It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
Un to lasīja ķēniņa priekšā. Un tur atrada rakstītu, ka Mardakajs bija zināmu darījis, ka Bigtans un Teres, ķēniņa divi kambarjunkuri un sliekšņa sargi, bija meklējuši roku likt pie ķēniņa Ahasverus.
3 The king said, “What honor and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
Tad ķēniņš sacīja: kāds gods un kāda paaugstināšana Mardakajam par to notikusi? Un ķēniņa jaunekļi, viņa sulaiņi, sacīja: viņam nekas nav noticis.
4 The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Tad ķēniņš sacīja: kas ir pagalmā? (Bet Amans bija nācis ķēniņa nama ārējā pagalmā, ķēniņam sacīt, lai Mardakaju pakar pie tā koka, ko viņš tam bija licis uzcelt.)
5 The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
Un ķēniņa jaunekļi uz viņu sacīja: redzi, Amans stāv pagalmā. Tad ķēniņš sacīja: lai viņš nāk iekšā.
6 So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?”
Tad Amans nāca iekšā, un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: ko būs darīt tādam vīram, ko ķēniņš labprāt grib godāt? Tad Amans domāja savā sirdī: kurš būs, ko ķēniņš grib godāt, nekā es pats?
7 Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor,
Tādēļ Amans sacīja uz ķēniņu: Tam vīram, ko ķēniņš grib godāt,
8 let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.
Tam būs nest ķēniņa drēbes, ar ko ķēniņš pats mēdz apģērbties, un zirgu, uz kā ķēniņš mēdz jāt un kam valstības kronis likts uz galvas.
9 Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!’”
Un to drēbi ar to zirgu būs rokā dot vienam no tiem lielkungiem un to vīru, ko ķēniņš grib godāt, ar to būs apģērbt, un viņam likt jāt uz tā zirga pa pilsētas ielām un viņa priekšā izsaukt: tā dara tam vīram, ko ķēniņš grib godāt.
10 Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”
Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Amanu: steidzies, ņem to drēbi un to zirgu, tā kā tu esi runājis, un dari tā tam Jūdam Mardakajam, kas sēž ķēniņa vārtos, un lai netrūkst neviena vārda no visa, ko tu esi runājis.
11 Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!”
Tad Amans ņēma tās drēbes un to zirgu un apģērba Mardakaju, un lika viņam jāt pa pilsētas ielām un izsauca viņa priekšā: tā dara tam vīram, ko ķēniņš grib godāt.
12 Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Pēc tam Mardakajs griezās atpakaļ ķēniņa vārtos; bet Amans steidzās atkal mājās, bēdīgs un aizsegtu galvu.
13 Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”
Un Amans teica savai sievai Zeresai un visiem saviem draugiem visu, kas viņam bija noticis. Tad viņa gudrie un Zeresa, viņa sieva, uz to sacīja: ja Mardakajs, kā priekšā tu esi iesācis krist, ir no Jūdu dzimuma, tad tu pret viņu nekā neiespēsi, bet tu viņa priekšā krizdams kritīsi.
14 While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Kad tie vēl ar viņu runāja, tad ķēniņa kambarjunkuri atnāca un steigšus Amanu noveda dzīrēs, ko Estere bija sataisījusi.
