Естир 6
Bulgarian Bible
6 През оная нощ сънят побягна от царя; и той заповяда да донесат записната книга на летописите; и прочитаха се пред царя.
2 И намери се как Мардохей беше обадил за Вихтана и Тереса, двама от царските скопци, от ония, които пазеха входа, че бяха поискали да турят ръка на цар Асуира.
3 И царят рече: Каква почест и отличие е дадено на Мардохея за това? И слугите на царя, които му прислужваха казаха: Не се е направило нищо за него.
4 Тогава царят рече: Кой е на двора? А Аман беше дошъл във вътрешния двор на царската къща, за да каже на царя да обеси Мардохея на бесилката, която бе приготвил за него.
5 И слугите на царя му казаха: Ето, Аман стои на двора. И царят рече: Да влезе.
6 И като влезе Аман царят му рече: Що да се направи на човека, на когото царя благоволява да направи почест? А Аман помисли в сърцето си: Кому другиму би благоволил царят да направи почест освен на мене?
7 Затова Аман каза на царя: За човека, на когото царят благоволи да направи почест,
8 нека донесат царската одежда, с която царят се облича, и царската корона, който се туря на главата му, и нека се туря на главата му, и нека доведат коня, на който царят язди,
9 и тая одежда и коня да се дадат в ръката на един от по-видните царски първенци, за да облекат човека, когото царят благоволява да почете; и когато го развеждат възседнал на коня през градския площад нека прогласяват пред него: Така ще се направи на човека, когото царят благоволява да почете.
10 Тогава царят рече на Амана: Скоро вземи одеждата и коня както си рекъл, и направи така на юдеина Мардохей, който седи при царската порта; да се не изостави нищо от всичко, което си казал.
11 И така, Аман взе одеждата и коня та облече Мардохея, и го преведе яхнал през градския площад, и прогласяваше пред него: Така ще се направи на човека, когото царят благоволява да почете.
12 И Мардохей се върна в царската порта. А Аман отиде бърже у дома си наскърбен, и с покрита глава.
13 И Аман разказа на жена си Зареса и на всичките си приятели всичко, що му се бе случило. Тогава мъдреците му и жена му Зареса му рекоха: Ако Мардохей, пред когото си почнал да изпадаш, е от юдейски род, ти не ще му надвиеш, но без друго ще паднеш пред него.
14 Докато още се разговаряха с него, царските скопци стигнаха и побързаха да заведат Амана на угощението, което Естир бе приготвила.

IV. RIVINCITA DEI GIUDEI
Smacco di Aman
6 Quella notte il re non poteva prendere sonno. Allora ordinò che gli si portasse il libro delle memorie, le cronache, e ne fu fatta la lettura alla presenza del re. 2 Vi si trovò scritto che Mardocheo aveva denunciato Bigtàn e Tères, i due eunuchi del re tra i custodi della soglia, i quali avevano cercato di porre le mani sulla persona del re Assuero. 3 Allora il re chiese: «Che si è fatto per dare a Mardocheo onore e grandezza in premio di questo?». I giovani che servivano il re risposero: «Non s'è fatto nulla per lui». 4 Il re disse: «Chi c'è nell'atrio?». Appunto Amàn era venuto nell'atrio esterno della reggia per dire al re di impiccare Mardocheo al palo che egli aveva preparato per lui. 5 I giovani servi del re gli risposero: «Ecco c'è Amàn nell'atrio». Il re disse: «Entri!». 6 Amàn entrò e il re gli disse: «Che si deve fare a un uomo che il re voglia onorare?». Amàn pensò: «Chi mai vorrebbe il re onorare, se non me?». 7 Amàn rispose al re: «Per l'uomo che il re vuole onorare, 8 si prenda la veste reale che suole indossare il re e il cavallo che suole cavalcare il re e sulla sua testa sia posta una corona reale; 9 si consegni la veste e il cavallo a uno dei principi più nobili del re; si rivesta di quella veste l'uomo che il re vuole onorare, gli si faccia percorrere a cavallo le vie della città e si gridi davanti a lui: Ciò avviene all'uomo che il re vuole onorare». 10 Allora il re disse ad Amàn: «Presto, prendi la veste e il cavallo, come hai detto, e fà così a Mardocheo il Giudeo che si trova alla porta del re; non tralasciar nulla di quello che hai detto». 11 Amàn prese la veste e il cavallo, rivestì della veste Mardocheo, gli fece percorrere a cavallo le vie della città e gridava davanti a lui: «Ciò avviene all'uomo che il re vuole onorare». 12 Poi Mardocheo tornò alla porta del re, ma Amàn andò subito a casa, tutto aggrondato e con il capo velato. 13 Amàn raccontò a sua moglie Zeres e a tutti i suoi amici quanto gli era accaduto. I suoi consiglieri e sua moglie Zeres gli dissero: «Se Mardocheo, davanti al quale tu hai cominciato a decadere, è della stirpe dei Giudei, tu non potrai nulla contro di lui, anzi soccomberai del tutto davanti a lui».
Aman al banchetto di Ester
14 Essi stavano ancora parlando con lui, quando giunsero gli eunuchi del re, i quali si affrettarono a condurre Amàn al banchetto che Ester aveva preparato.
Esther 6
New International Version
Mordecai Honored
6 That night the king could not sleep;(A) so he ordered the book of the chronicles,(B) the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him. 2 It was found recorded there that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s officers who guarded the doorway, who had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.(C)
3 “What honor and recognition has Mordecai received for this?” the king asked.
“Nothing has been done for him,”(D) his attendants answered.
4 The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to speak to the king about impaling Mordecai on the pole he had set up for him.
5 His attendants answered, “Haman is standing in the court.”
“Bring him in,” the king ordered.
6 When Haman entered, the king asked him, “What should be done for the man the king delights to honor?”
Now Haman thought to himself, “Who is there that the king would rather honor than me?” 7 So he answered the king, “For the man the king delights to honor, 8 have them bring a royal robe(E) the king has worn and a horse(F) the king has ridden, one with a royal crest placed on its head. 9 Then let the robe and horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them robe the man the king delights to honor, and lead him on the horse through the city streets, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!(G)’”
10 “Go at once,” the king commanded Haman. “Get the robe and the horse and do just as you have suggested for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything you have recommended.”
11 So Haman got(H) the robe and the horse. He robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city streets, proclaiming before him, “This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!”
12 Afterward Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered(I) in grief, 13 and told Zeresh(J) his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him.
His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall(K) has started, is of Jewish origin, you cannot stand against him—you will surely come to ruin!”(L) 14 While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried Haman away to the banquet(M) Esther had prepared.
Esther 6
King James Version
6 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.

The King Honors Mordecai
6 That night [a]the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring (A)the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. 2 And it was found written that Mordecai had told of [b]Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. 3 Then the king said, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?”
And the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
4 So the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered (B)the outer court of the king’s palace (C)to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 The king’s servants said to him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.”
And the king said, “Let him come in.”
6 So Haman came in, and the king asked him, “What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?”
Now Haman thought in his heart, “Whom would the king delight to honor more than (D)me?” 7 And Haman answered the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor, 8 let a royal robe be brought which the king has worn, and (E)a horse on which the king has ridden, which has a royal [c]crest placed on its head. 9 Then let this robe and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that he may array the man whom the king delights to honor. Then [d]parade him on horseback through the city square, (F)and proclaim before him: ‘Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!’ ”
10 Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king’s gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken.”
11 So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!”
12 Afterward Mordecai went back to the king’s gate. But Haman (G)hurried to his house, mourning (H)and with his head covered. 13 When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against (I)him but will surely fall before him.”
14 While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hastened to bring Haman to (J)the banquet which Esther had prepared.
