Ehetere 6
1 I taua po kihai i moe te kingi, a ka mea kia kawea mai te pukapuka whakamahara ki nga meatanga o nga ra. Na ka korerotia ki te aroaro o te kingi.
That night the king could not sleep. He commanded servants to bring the records of the events of his reign, and they were being read aloud to the king.
2 Na ka kitea, kua oti te tuhituhi te whakaatu a Mororekai mo Pikitana raua ko Terehe, mo nga rangatira ruma tokorua a te kingi, he kaitiaki tetau, i whai raua kia pa te ringa ki a Kingi Ahahueruha.
It was found recorded there that Mordecai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officials who guarded the entrance, who had tried to harm King Ahasuerus.
3 Na ka mea te kingi, He aha te honore, te kororia, i whiwhi ai a Mororekai mo tenei? Ano ra ko nga tangata a te kingi i mahi nei ki a ia, Kihai tetahi mea i meatia ki a ia.
The king asked, “What was done to give honor or recognition to Mordecai for doing this?” Then the king's young men who served him said, “Nothing was done for him.”
4 Na ka mea te kingi, Ko wai kei te marae? Na tera a Hamana kua tae mai ki te marae o waho o te whare o te kingi, ki te korero ki te kingi, kia taronatia a Mororekai ki runga ki te tarawa kua oti te hanga mona.
The king said, “Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had entered the outer courtyard of the king's house to speak to him about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he set up for him.
5 Na ka mea nga tangata a te kingi ki a ia, Ko Hamana tenei e tu mai nei i te marae. Ano ra ko te kingi, Kia haere mai ia.
The king's servants said to him, “Haman is standing in the courtyard.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
6 Heoi ka haere mai a Hamana. Na ka mea te kingi ke a ia, Ko te aha kia meatia ki ta te kingi tangata e pai ai kia whakahonoretia? Na ko te meatanga ake a Hamana i roto i tona ngakau, Ko wai atu i ahau ta te kingi e pai ai kia whakahonoretia?
When Haman entered, the king said to him, “What should be done for the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Whom would the king take pleasure in honoring more than me?”
7 Na ka mea a Hamana ki te kingi, Mo ta te kingi tangata e pai ai kia whakahonoretia,
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring,
8 Me kawe mai nga kakahu kingi, e kakahu nei te kingi me te hoiho ano e ekengia ana e te kingi, potae rawa he karauna kingi ki tona matenga;
let royal robes be brought, robes that the king has worn, and a horse that the king has ridden and on whose head is the royal crest.
9 Na ka hoatu taua kakahu me te hoiho ke te ringa o tetahi o nga tino rangatira a te kingi, kia whakakakahuria atu ki te tangata e pai ai te kingi kia whakahonoretia; na ka mea i a ia kia eke i runga i te hoiho i te waharoa o te pa, ka karanga haer e ai i mua i a ia, Ka peneitia te tangata e pai ai te kingi kia whakahonoretia.
Then let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring, and let them lead him on the horse through the city streets. Let them proclaim before him, 'This is what is done to the one whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!'”
10 Katahi ka mea te kingi ki a Hamana, Kia hohoro tau tiki atu i te kakahu, i te hoiho, i tau i ki na, ka pera ai ki a Mororekai, ki te Hurai, e noho nei i te kuwaha o te kingi. Kei taka tetahi kupu o nga mea katoa i korerotia e koe.
Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Do not fail in a single matter of what you have said.”
11 Katahi ka tikina e Hamana te kakahu, me te hoiho, a whakakakahuria ana e ia a Mororekai, arahina ana i runga i te hoiho i te waharoa o te pa, me te karanga ano i tona aroaro, Ka peneitia te tangata e pai ai te kingi kia whakahonoretia.
Then Haman took the robe and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and led him on the horse through the city streets. He proclaimed before him, “This is what is done for a man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!”
12 Na hoki ana a Mororekai ki te kuwaha o te kingi; ko Hamana ia i hohoro ki tona whare, pouri tonu, hipoki rawa te mahunga.
Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning, with his head covered.
13 Na ka korerotia e Hamana ki tana wahine, ki a Herehe, ki ona hoa katoa nga mea katoa i pa ki a ia. Katahi ana tangata mohio, ratou ko tana wahine, ko Herehe, ka mea ki a ia, Ki te mea no nga uri o nga Hurai a Mororekai, kua timata na koe te hing a i tona aroaro, e kore koe e kaha i a ia, engari ka hinga rawa koe i tona aroaro.
Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that happened to him. Then his men who were known for their wisdom, and Zeresh his wife, said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is Jewish, you will not overcome him, but you will certainly fall before him.”
14 I a ratou e korero ana ki a ia, ka tae mai nga rangatira ruma a te kingi, porangi tonu, hei arahi mo Hamana ki te hakari i taka e Ehetere.
While they were talking with him, the king's officials arrived. They hurried to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared.
