Esther 6
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.
N'aquella mesma noite fugiu o somno do rei: então mandou trazer o livro das memorias das chronicas, e se leram diante do rei.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, of those that kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
E achou-se escripto que Mardoqueo tinha dado noticia de Bigthan e de Teres, dois eunuchos do rei, dos da guarda da porta, que procuraram pôr as mãos no rei Assuero.
3 And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been bestowed on Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
Então disse o rei: Que honra e magnificencia se fez por isto a Mardoqueo? E os mancebos do rei, seus servos, disseram: Coisa nenhuma se lhe fez.
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.
Então disse o rei: Quem está no pateo? E Haman tinha entrado no pateo exterior do rei, para dizer ao rei que enforcassem a Mardoqueo na forca que lhe tinha preparado.
5 And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
E os mancebos do rei lhe disseram: Eis que Haman está no pateo. E disse o rei que entrasse.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?
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 said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,
Pelo que disse Haman ao rei: O homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada,
8 let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:
Traga o vestido real de que o rei se costuma vestir, como tambem o cavallo em que o rei costuma andar montado, e ponha-se-lhe a corôa real na sua cabeça;
9 and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.
E entregue-se o vestido e o cavallo, á mão d'um dos principes do rei, dos maiores senhores, e vistam d'elle aquelle homem de cuja honra se agrada: e levem-n'o a cavallo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregôe-se diante d'elle: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
Então disse o rei a Haman: Apressa-te, toma o vestido e o cavallo, como disseste, e faze assim para com o judeo Mardoqueo, que está assentado á porta do rei; e coisa nenhuma deixes cair de tudo quanto disseste.
11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor.
E Haman tomou o vestido e o cavallo, e vestiu a Mardoqueo, e o levou a cavallo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregoou diante d'elle: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!
12 And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Depois d'isto Mardoqueo voltou para a porta do rei: porém Haman se retirou correndo a sua casa, anojado, e coberta a cabeça.
13 And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
E contou Haman a Zeres, sua mulher, e a todos os seus amigos, tudo quanto lhe tinha succedido. Então os seus sabios, e Zeres, sua mulher, lhe disseram: Se Mardoqueo, diante de quem já começaste a cair, é da semente dos judeos, não prevalecerás contra elle, antes certamente cairás perante elle.
14 While they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Estando elles ainda fallando com elle, chegaram os eunuchos do rei, e se apressaram a levar Haman ao banquete que Esther preparara.
