Esther 6
1 In fong sacna, tokosra el tia ku in motulla, ouinge el sap in utuku book in sim mwe esmakin lun tokosrai uh, ac ritiyuk nu sel.
On 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.
2 Ipin mwe rit se elos riti ah ma ke sramsram kacl Mordecai, ke el tuh konauk sie inkanek sulallal in akmuselya tokosra. Nunak sulallal sac orek sel Bigthana ac Teresh, luo sin mwet eunuch su karingin mutunoa in utyak nu infukil sel tokosra.
It 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.
3 Na tokosra el siyuk, “Akfulat fuka ac srui fuka kut tuh oru nu sel Mordecai ke ma el orala inge?” Mwet kulansap lal topuk mu, “Wanginna ma orekla nu sel.”
The king said, “What honour and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
4 Na tokosra el siyuk, “Su sin mwet fulat luk oasr inkul uh?” In pacl sacna Haman el utyak inkalkal sin tokosra. El tuku in siyuk sel tokosra tuh Mordecai elan sripsripyak ke nien loksak se ma akoeyukla tari.
The 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.
5 Ouinge mwet kulansap elos topuk, “Haman el oasr inge. El ke osun nu sum.” Tokosra el fahk, “Sap elan utyak.”
The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
6 Ouinge Haman el utyak, ac tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Oasr mwet se nga arulana ke akfulatye. Mea fal in orek nu sin mwet se inge?” Haman el nunku sel sifacna, “Acna su tokosra el ke akfulatye inge— Kalem na lah nga.”
So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honour more than myself?”
7 Ouinge Haman el fahk nu sel tokosra, “Nu sin mwet se su tokosra el lungse akfulatye,
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honour,
8 lela in utuku nuknuk lun tokosra sifacna, ac soko horse ma tokosra el muta fac tari, ac tefuro lun tokosra in oan fin sifen horse soko ah.
let 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 royal crown is set.
9 Na sang nu sin sie mwet wal fulat lom in nokmulang ke nuknuk lun tokosra inge, ac pwen mwet sac ke el muta fin horse, elan fahsr sasla in kalkal lun siti uh. Mwet fulat sac in fahsr sulkakin inkanek uh, ‘Liye luman akfulat lun tokosra nu sin sie su el lungse akfulatye!’”
Let 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 honour with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!’”
10 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel Haman, “Aksaye ac akoela nuknuk lun tokosra ac soko horse, ac oru mwe akfulat inge nu sel Mordecai, mwet Jew. Oru ma nukewa nu sel oana ke kom fahk an. Kom ac konalak el muta ke acn in utyak nu inkul sin tokosra.”
Then 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.”
11 Ke ma inge Haman el eis nuknuk uh ac horse soko ah, ac nokmulang Mordecai. Mordecai el sroang nu fin horse uh, ac Haman el pwanul fahsr sasla inkanek lun siti uh, ac sulkakin, “Liye luman akfulat lun tokosra nu sin sie su el lungse akfulatye!”
Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!”
12 Tukun ma inge, Mordecai el folokla nu ke nien utyak nu ke inkul sin tokosra. A Haman el afinya mutal ke mwekin lal ac sulaklak folokla nu lohm sel.
Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13 El fahk nu sin mutan kial ac kawuk lal kewa ke ma nukewa ma sikyak nu sel. Na mutan kial ac mwet kawuk lalmwetmet lal fahk nu sel, “Mutawauk in munasla ku lom sel Mordecai. El mwet Jew se, ac kom tia ku in kutangulla. Pwayena lah el ac kutangkomla.”
Haman 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.”
14 Ke elos srakna kaskas, mwet eunuch lun inkul sin tokosra tuku, ac salkal Haman nu ke kufwa su Esther el akoela.
While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
