以斯帖記第6章 |
|
1 是夕王不得寢、命取歷代志畧、誦於其前。 |
|
2 其中載云、內豎辟單底力職司御閽、謀欲弒王、木底改知之首告、 |
|
3 王問侍臣曰、木底改首告、當時膺何賞乎。對曰、無之、 |
|
4 王曰、孰當入直者。對曰、哈曼、時哈曼至王宮外院、欲求王懸木底改於木、王宣之進。 |
|
5 |
|
6 哈曼入、王問曰、余欲賞一人、當如何、哈曼意謂王欲賞者、非我其誰。 |
|
7 遂曰、王欲賞之、 |
|
8 則備袞服、路馬、王冕。 |
|
9 命大臣以此賜之、爲之執轡、遊行邑衢、播告於民、云惟王大賚如是。 |
|
10 王命哈曼曰、誠如予言、速取衣馬、猶大人木底改在御閽、卽以此飾之、毋少欠缺。 |
|
11 哈曼遂取衣服馬匹、賜木底改、爲之執轡、遊行邑衢、播告於民曰、惟王大賚如是。 |
|
12 木底改反御閽、哈曼趨歸、蒙首哭泣、 |
|
13 以此告其妻西勒及諸朋儔、其智士及其妻曰、木底改見尊、爾見辱、如彼果猶大支派、爾必不能與之抗衡、徒取戾耳。 |
|
14 言時、王之內豎至、請哈曼急赴后筵。 |
EstherChapter 6 |
|
1 ON that night the king could not sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read be fore the king. |
|
2 And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, the keepers of the door, who had sought to lay hands on King Akhshirash. |
|
3 And the king said, What honor and dignity have been conferred upon Mordecai for this? Then the king's servants and his ministers said to him, There is nothing done for him. |
|
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outer court of the king's house to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. |
|
5 So the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman is standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. |
|
6 So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman thought in his heart, Whom would the king delight to honor more than myself? |
|
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor, |
|
8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king wears and the horse that the king rides, and let the royal crown be set upon his head: |
|
9 And let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, and let him array the man whom the king delights to honor and mount him on the horse and take him round through the streets of the city and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king de lights to honor. |
|
10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste and take the apparel and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate; let nothing fail of all that you have spoken. |
|
11 Then Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the streets of the city and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor. |
|
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman went to his house mourning and having his head covered. |
|
13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife everything that had befallen him. Then his friends and Zeresh his wife said to him, If Mordecai is of the Jewish race, before whom you have begun to fall, you shall not prevail against him, but will surely again be humbled before him. |
|
14 And while he was still talking with them, the king's couriers arrived and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had pre pared. |
