Esther 6
1 That night the king was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of 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 [The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
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 The king asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything 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 At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
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 His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
E os mancebos do rei lhe disseram: Eis que Haman está no pátio. E disse o rei que entrasse.
6 When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
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 So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
Pelo que disse Haman ao rei: O homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada,
8 you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
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 Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants to honor!’”
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 The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you suggested!”
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 So Haman did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants to honor!”
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 Then, Mordecai returned [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
Depois disto mardoqueu voltou para a porta do rei: porém Haman se retirou correndo a sua casa, anojado, e coberta a cabeça.
13 He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
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 And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther had prepared.
Estando eles ainda falando com ele, chegaram os eunucos do rei, e se apressaram a levar Haman ao banquete que Esther preparara.
