Esther 6
1 The kyng ledde that nyyt with out sleep, and he comaundide the stories and the bookis of yeeris `of formere tymes to be brouyt to hym. And whanne tho weren red in his presense,
To noč kralj ni mogel spati in zapovedal je, da prinesejo knjigo kroniških zapisov in brani so bili pred kraljem.
2 me cam to the place, where it was writun, hou Mardochee hadde teld the tresouns of Gabathan and Thares, oneste seruauntis, couetynge to strangle kyng Assuerus.
Najdeno je bilo zapisano, da je Mordohaj povedal o Bigtánu in Terešu, o dveh izmed glavnih dvornih upraviteljev, čuvajema vrat, ki sta iskala, da položita roko na Kralja Ahasvérja.
3 And whanne the kyng hadde herd this, he seide, What onour and meede gat Mardochee for this feithfulnesse? And hise seruauntis and mynystris seiden to hym, Outirli he took no meede.
Kralj je rekel: »Kakšna čast in dostojanstvo sta bila zaradi tega storjena Mordohaju?« Potem so kraljevi služabniki, ki so mu služili, rekli: »Nič ni bilo storjeno zanj.«
4 And anoon the kyng seide, Who is in the halle? Sotheli Aaman hadde entrid in to the ynnere halle of the kyngis hows, to make suggestioun to the kyng, that he schulde comaunde Mardochee to be hangid on the iebat, which was maad redi to him.
Kralj je rekel: »Kdo je na dvoru?« Torej Hamán je prišel na zunanji dvor kraljeve hiše, da spregovori kralju, da Mordohaja obesi na vislice, ki jih je pripravil zanj.
5 And the children answeriden, Aaman stondith in the halle.
Kraljevi služabniki pa so mu rekli: »Glej, Hamán stoji na dvoru.« Kralj je rekel: »Naj vstopi.«
6 And the kyng seide, Entre he. And whanne he was comun yn, the kyng seide to hym, What owith to be don to the man, whom the kyng desirith onoure? Aaman thouyte in his herte, and gesside, that the kyng wolde onoure noon othere man no but hym silf;
Tako je Hamán vstopil. Kralj mu je rekel: »Kaj naj bo storjeno človeku, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje, da ga počasti?« Torej Hamán je v svojem srcu mislil: ›Koga bi se kralj veselil, da ga počasti, bolj kakor mene?‹
7 and he answeride, The man, whom the kyng couetith to onoure,
Hamán je odgovoril kralju: »Za človeka, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje, da ga počasti,
8 owith to be clothid with the kyngis clothis, and to be set on the hors which is of the kyngis sadel, and to take the kyngis diademe on his heed;
naj bo prinesena kraljevska obleka, ki jo kralj uporablja za nošnjo in konj, na katerem jaha kralj in kraljeva krona, ki je postavljena na njegovi glavi.
9 and the firste of the princes and stronge men of the kyng holde his hors, and go bi the stretis of the citee, and crie, and seie, Thus he schal be onourid, whom euer the kyng wole onoure.
Ta obleka in konj naj bosta izročena roki enega izmed kraljevih najplemenitejših princev, da bodo lahko s tem oblekli človeka, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje počastiti in naj ga na konjskem hrbtu povedejo po mestni ulici in pred njim razglašajo: ›Tako bo to storjeno človeku, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje, da ga počasti.‹«
10 Therfor the kyng seide to hym, Haste thou, and whanne `a stoole and hors is takun, do thou, as thou hast spoke, to Mardochee the Jew, that sittith bifor the yatis of the paleis; be thou war, that thou leeue not out ony thing of these, whiche thou hast spoke.
Potem je kralj rekel Hamánu: »Podvizaj se in vzemi obleko in konja, kakor si rekel in celo tako stori Judu Mordohaju, ki sedi pri kraljevih velikih vratih. Naj ničesar ne manjka od vsega, kar si govoril.«
11 Therfor Aaman took `a stoole and hors, and yede, and criede bifor Mardochee clothid in the strete of the citee, and set on `the hors, He is worthi this onour, whom euer the kyng wole onoure.
Potem je Hamán vzel obleko in konja ter oblekel Mordohaja in ga na konjskem hrbtu povedel po mestni ulici in pred njim razglašal: »Tako bo storjeno človeku, ki se ga kralj razveseljuje, da ga počasti.«
12 And Mardochee turnede ayen to the yate of the paleis, and Aaman hastide to go in to his hows, morenynge, and with the heed hilid.
In Mordohaj je ponovno prišel h kraljevim velikim vratom. Hamán pa je žalujoč hitel k svoji hiši in svojo glavo je imel zakrito.
13 And he teld to Zares, his wijf, and to frendis alle thingis that hadden bifelde to hym. To whom the wise men, whiche he hadde in counsel, and his wijf, answeriden, If Mardochee, bifor whom thou hast bigunne to falle, is of the seed of Jewis, thou schalt not mowe ayenstonde hym, but thou schalt falle in his siyt.
Hamán je povedal svoji ženi Zêreši in vsem svojim prijateljem, vsako stvar, ki ga je doletela. Potem so mu njegovi modri možje in njegova žena Zêreša rekli: »Če je Mordohaj iz rodu Judov, pred katerim si začel padati, ne boš prevladal zoper njega, temveč boš zagotovo padel pred njim.«
14 Yit while thei spaken, the oneste seruauntis and chast of the kyng camen, and compelliden hym to go soone to the feeste, which the queen hadde maad redi.
Medtem ko so še govorili z njim, so prišli kraljevi glavni dvorni upravitelji in hiteli, da Hamána privedejo na gostijo, ki jo je pripravila Estera.
