¹في تلك الليلة طار نوم الملك فامر بان يؤتى بسفر تذكار اخبار الايام فقرئت امام الملك.

¹On that night hath the sleep of the king fled away, and he saith to bring in the book of memorials of the Chronicles, and they are read before the king,

²فوجد مكتوبا ما اخبر به مردخاي عن بغثانا وترش خصيّي الملك حارسي الباب اللذين طلبا ان يمدا ايديهما الى الملك احشويروش.

²and it is found written that Mordecai had declared concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king, of the keepers of the threshold, who sought to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus.

³فقال الملك ايّة كرامة وعظمة عملت لمردخاي لاجل هذا. فقال غلمان الملك الذين يخدمونه لم يعمل معه شيء.

³And the king saith, `What honour and greatness hath been done to Mordecai for this?` And the servants of the king, his ministers, say, `Nothing hath been done with him.`

⁴فقال الملك من في الدار. وكان هامان قد دخل دار بيت الملك الخارجية لكي يقول للملك ان يصلب مردخاي على الخشبة التي اعدها له.

⁴And the king saith, `Who [is] in the court?` — and Haman hath come in to the outer court of the house of the king, to say to the king to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him —

⁵فقال غلمان الملك له هوذا هامان واقف في الدار. فقال الملك ليدخل.

⁵and the servants of the king say unto him, `Lo, Haman is standing in the court;` and the king saith, `Let him come in.`

⁶ولما دخل هامان قال له الملك ماذا يعمل لرجل يسرّ الملك بان يكرمه. فقال هامان في قلبه من يسرّ الملك بان يكرمه اكثر مني.

⁶And Haman cometh in, and the king saith to him, `What — to do with the man in whose honour the king hath delighted?` And Haman saith in his heart, `To whom doth the king delight to do honour more than myself?`

⁷فقال هامان للملك ان الرجل الذي يسرّ الملك بان يكرمه

⁷And Haman saith unto the king, `The man in whose honour the king hath delighted,

⁸يأتون باللباس السلطاني الذي يلبسه الملك وبالفرس الذي يركبه الملك وبتاج الملك الذي يوضع على راسه

⁸let them bring in royal clothing that the king hath put on himself, and a horse on which the king hath ridden, and that the royal crown be put on his head,

⁹ويدفع اللباس والفرس لرجل من رؤساء الملك الاشراف ويلبسون الرجل الذي سرّ الملك بان يكرمه ويركبونه على الفرس في ساحة المدينة وينادون قدامه هكذا يصنع للرجل الذي يسرّ الملك بان يكرمه.

⁹and to give the clothing and the horse into the hand of a man of the heads of the king, the chiefs, and they have clothed the man in whose honour the king hath delighted, and caused him to ride on the horse in a broad place of the city, and called before him: Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.`

¹⁰فقال الملك لهامان اسرع وخذ اللباس والفرس كما تكلمت وافعل هكذا لمردخاي اليهودي الجالس في باب الملك. لا يسقط شيء من جميع ما قلته.

¹⁰And the king saith to Haman, `Haste, take the clothing and the horse, as thou hast spoken, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in the gate of the king; there doth not fall a thing of all that thou hast spoken.`

¹¹فاخذ هامان اللباس والفرس وألبس مردخاي واركبه في ساحة المدينة ونادى قدامه هكذا يصنع للرجل الذي يسرّ الملك بان يكرمه

¹¹And Haman taketh the clothing, and the horse, and clothed Mordecai, and causeth him to ride in a broad place of the city, and calleth before him, `Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.`

¹²ورجع مردخاي الى باب الملك. واما هامان فاسرع الى بيته نائحا ومغطى الراس.

¹²And Mordecai turneth back unto the gate of the king, and Haman hath been hastened unto his house mourning, and with covered head,

¹³وقصّ هامان على زرش زوجته وجميع احبائه كل ما اصابه. فقال له حكماؤه وزرش زوجته اذا كان مردخاي الذي ابتدأت تسقط قدامه من نسل اليهود فلا تقدر عليه بل تسقط قدامه سقوطا.

¹³and Haman recounteth to Zeresh his wife, and to all his friends, all that hath met him, and his wise men say to him, and Zeresh his wife, `If Mordecai [is] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou art not able for him, but dost certainly fall before him.`

¹⁴وفيما هم يكلمونه وصل خصيان الملك واسرعوا للأتيان بهامان الى الوليمة التي عملتها استير

¹⁴They are yet speaking with him, and eunuchs of the king have come, and haste to bring in Haman unto the banquet that Esther hath made.
