1On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.
1Tisto noč ni mogel kralj spati, in ukaže, naj prineso spominsko knjigo letopisov; in brali so jo pred kraljem.
2It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
2In najdejo zapisano, da je Mardohej ovadil Bigtana in Teresa, dva kraljevih komornikov, iz tistih, ki so čuvali vrata, kako sta hotela položiti roke na kralja Ahasvera.
3The king said, “What honor and dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
3In kralj reče: Kaka čast in odlika se je podelila za to Mardoheju? Nato odgovore kraljevi hlapci, ki so mu stregli: Nič se mu ni podelilo.
4The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
4In kralj vpraša: Kdo je na dvoru? Haman pa je ravnokar prišel na zunanji dvor kraljeve palače, da ogovori kralja, naj obesijo Mardoheja na vislice, ki jih je pripravil zanj.
5The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
5In kraljevi hlapci mu reko: Glej, Haman stoji na dvoru! Kralj veli: Naj stopi sem!
6So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?”
6In ko Haman pristopi, mu kralj reče: Kaj naj se zgodi možu, ki ga kralj želi počastiti? Haman pa je mislil v srcu svojem: Koga bi sicer kralj želel počastiti nego mene?
7Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor,
7In reče Haman kralju: Možu, ki ga kralj želi počastiti,
8let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a crown royal is set.
8naj prineso kraljevsko oblačilo, ki ga kralj nosi, in privedo konja, na katerem jezdi kralj, in na glavo naj se mu posadi kraljev venec;
9Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!’”
9in oblačilo in konj naj se dasta v roko enemu najodličnejših knezov kraljevih, da ž njim oblečejo moža, ki ga kralj želi počastiti, in ga posade na konja in vodijo po mestnih ulicah ter kličejo pred njim: Tako se godi možu, ki ga kralj želi počastiti!
10Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”
10In kralj veli: Hiti, vzemi oblačilo in konja, kakor si rekel, in tako stori Mardoheju Judu, ki sedi ob kraljevih vratih. Ne opusti ničesar, kar si govoril!
11Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!”
11Tedaj vzame Haman oblačilo in konja ter obleče Mardoheja in ga spremlja, jezdečega po mestnih ulicah, in kliče pred njim: Tako se godi možu, ki ga kralj želi počastiti!
12Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
12In Mardohej se zopet vrne k vratom kraljevim; Haman pa hiti domov žalosten in z zakrito glavo.
13Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”
13In Haman pripoveduje Zeresi, ženi svoji, in vsem prijateljem svojim vse, kar se mu je prigodilo. Tedaj mu reko modrci njegovi in Zeresa, žena njegova: Ako je Mardohej, pred katerim si začel padati, iz semena Judov, ničesar ne premoreš zoper njega, temuč gotovo boš padel pred njim.Ko so še ž njim govorili, pridejo kraljevi komorniki, in mudi se jim, da odvedo Hamana k obedu, ki ga je Estera pripravila.
14While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
14Ko so še ž njim govorili, pridejo kraljevi komorniki, in mudi se jim, da odvedo Hamana k obedu, ki ga je Estera pripravila.
