以斯帖記-Esther 第 6 章

6:1	那夜王睡不著覺，就吩咐人取年代記事錄來；人就在王麵前念給他聽。 On that night the king could not sleep, so he gave orders to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
6:2	正念到其上寫著說，王有兩個太監辟探和提列，是守門的，想要下手害亞哈隨魯王，末底改告發了他們。 And it was found written that Mordecai had given a report concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, among those who were in charge of the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.
6:3	王說，末底改行了這事，賜他什麼尊榮爵位沒有？伺候王的臣仆說，沒有賜他什麼。 And the 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.
6:4	王說，誰在院子裏？那時哈曼正進王宮的外院，要求王將末底改掛在他所豫備的木架上。 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had just entered 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.
6:5	王的臣仆說，看哪，哈曼站在院內。王說，讓他進來。 And the king's servants said to him, Haman is now standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6:6	哈曼就進去；王問他說，王喜歡賜尊榮的人，當如何待他呢？哈曼心裏說，王喜歡賜尊榮的，不是我是誰呢？ So Haman came in; and the king said to him, What shall be done for the man whom the king desires to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?
6:7	哈曼就對王說，對於王喜歡賜尊榮的人， And Haman said to the king, For the man whom the king desires to honor,
6:8	當將王穿過的朝服，和王所騎過、頭戴禦冠的馬帶來， Let a royal robe be brought, one which the king has worn, and a horse on which the king has ridden and on whose head a royal crown has been set.
6:9	將朝服和馬交在王極尊貴的一個大臣手中，命人將朝服給王喜歡賜尊榮的人穿上，使他騎上馬，走遍城裏的街市，叫人在他麵前宣告說，王喜歡賜尊榮的人，就如此待他。 And let the robe and the horse be delivered into the hand of one of the king's most noble princes; and let them array the man whom the king desires to honor and make him ride on horseback through the street of the city; and let them proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done for the man whom the king desires to honor.
6:10	王對哈曼說，照你所說的，快快取朝服和馬，去向坐在王門那裏的猶大人末底改那樣行。凡你所說的，一樣不可缺。 Then the king said to Haman, Quickly take the robe and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in the king's gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have said.
6:11	於是哈曼取了朝服和馬，將朝服給末底改穿上，使他騎上馬，走遍城裏的街市，並在他麵前宣告說，王喜歡賜尊榮的人，就如此待他。 Then Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and made him ride through the street of the city; and he proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done for the man whom the king desires to honor.
6:12	末底改仍回到王門那裏；哈曼卻悲哀的蒙著頭，急忙回家去了。 And Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.
6:13	哈曼將所遭遇的一切事，述說給他的妻子細利斯和他的眾朋友聽。他的智慧人和他的妻子細利斯對他說，你在末底改麵前開始敗落，他如果是猶大種族，你必不能勝他，終必在他麵前敗落。 And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends all 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 the seed of the Jews, you will not prevail against him; but you shall surely fall before him.
6:14	他們還與哈曼說話的時候，王的太監來到，催哈曼快去赴以斯帖所豫備的筵席。 While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurriedly brought Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
