Esther 6
1 The same night the King slept not, and he comanded to bring ye booke of the records, and the chronicles: and they were read before ye King.
Usiku ule mfalme hakupata usingizi. Akaagiza vitabu vya kumbukumbu vya matukio ya ufalme wake viletwe na visomwe mbele zake. Vitabu visomwa kwa sauti mbele ya mfalme.
2 Then it was found written that Mordecai had tolde of Bigtana, and Teresh two of the Kings eunuches, keepers of the dore, who sought to lay hands on the King Ahashuerosh.
Ikakutwa kuwa Modekai alikuwa ametoa taarifa kuhusu Bighana na Tereshi, walinzi walio linda lango, waliokuwa wamepanga kumuangamiza Mfalme Ahusiero.
3 Then the King sayde, What honour and dignitie hath bene giuen to Mordecai for this? And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, There is nothing done for him.
Kisha mfalme akauliza, Modekai alifanyiwa nini cha heshima kwa kwa taarifa aliyoitoa? Ndipo watumishi wa mfalme wakamwambia, “Hakufanyiwa kitu chochote.”
4 And the King sayde, Who is in the court? (Now Haman was come into the inner court of the Kings house, that he might speake vnto the King to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him.)
Kisha mfalme akauliza, “Ni nani aliye ndani ya ua.” Na Hamani alikuwa ameingia katika ua wa mfalme ili amwombe mfalme atoe kibali ili Modekai atundikwe kwenye mti aliouandaa.
5 And the Kings seruants said vnto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the King sayd, Let him come in.
Watumishi wakamjibu, “Hamani amesimama katika ua ya mfalme.” Mfalme akasema, “Mwambieni aingie ndani.”
6 And when Haman came in, the King saide vnto him, What shalbe done vnto ye man, whom the King will honour? Then Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the King do honour more then to me?
Mara tu Hamani alipoingia, mfalme akamuuliza, afanyiewe nini mtu yule ambaye mfalme anampenda na kumheshimu?” Hamani akafikiri moyoni mwake, “Ni nani ambaye mfalme ampenda na kumuheshimu zaidi yangu?
7 And Haman answered the King, The man whome the King would honour,
Hamani amjibu mfame, Kwa mtu yule ambaye mfalme ampenda na kumuheshimu,
8 Let them bring for him royall apparell, which the King vseth to weare, and the horse that the King rideth vpon, and that the crowne royall may be set vpon his head.
avikwe nguo za kifalme, mavazi ambayo mfalme amekwisha yavaa na farasi ambaye ametumiwa na mfalme na ambaye ana taji ya kifalme kichwani mwake.
9 And let the raiment and the horse be deliuered by the hand of one of the Kings most noble princes, and let them apparel the man (whome the King will honour) and cause him to ride vpon the horse thorow the streete of the citie, and proclayme before him, Thus shall it be done vnto the man, whome the King will honour.
Nguo hizo na farasi apewe msimamizi bora kuliko wote. Na wamvike yule ambaye mfalme ampenda na kumuheshimu, na wampandishe juu ya farasi na kumpitisha katika mitaa yote ya mji. Na watangaze mbele yake, “Hivi ndivyo alivyofanyiwa mtu yule ambaye mfalme ampenda na kumuheshimu!”
10 Then the King said to Haman, Make haste, take the rayment and the horse as thou hast said, and doe so vnto Mordecai the Iewe, that sitteth at the Kings gate: let nothing fayle of all that thou hast spoken.
Kisha mfalme akamwambia, Hamani “fanya hima, mvike Modekai nguo na umpandishe kwenye farasi, na lisipungue hata jambo moja katika hayo uliyo yasema.”
11 So Haman tooke the rayment and the horse, and arayed Mordecai, and brought him on horse backe thorowe the streete of the citie, and proclaymed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the King will honour.
Kisha Hamani akachukua mavazi na farasi. Akamvika Modekai na akampandisha kwenye farasi na kumpitisha katika mitaa yote ya mji. Akatangaza mbele zake, “Hii imefanyika kwa mtu ambaye mfalme anampenda na kumuheshimu!”
12 And Mordecai came againe to the Kings gate, but Haman hasted home mourning and his head couered.
Baada ya hayo Modekai alirudi kwenye lango la mfalme. Huku Hamani akarudi kwa haraka nyumbani kwake, huku akiomboleza, na akiwa ameinamisha kichwa chake.
13 And Haman tolde Zeresh his wife, and all his friends all that had befallen him. Then sayd his wise men, and Zeresh his wife vnto him, If Mordecai be of the seede of the Iewes, before whom thou hast begunne to fall; thou shalt not preuaile against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
Akawaeleza rafiki zake pamoja na Zereshi mkewe. Kisha rafiki zake wenye hekima pamoja na Zereshi mkewe. Kama Modekai, ambaye umeanza kuanguka mbele zake ni wa uzao wa Wayahudi, hautamshinda, bali utandelea kuanguka mbele zake.”
14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the Kings eunuches and hasted to bring Haman vnto the banket that Ester had prepared.
Walipokuwa wakiendelea na maongezi, wasimamizi wa mfalme wakamjia Hamani ili aende kwenye karamu aliyoiandaa Esta.
