Есфирь 6
New Russian Translation
Мардохею оказываются почести
6 Той ночью царь никак не мог уснуть и велел принести и читать ему свиток памятных записей, летопись его царствования. 2 Там было найдено, как Мардохей разоблачил Бигтана и Тереша, двух царских евнухов, охранявших порог, которые составили заговор, чтобы убить царя Ксеркса.
3 – Какие почести и сан получил за это Мардохей? – спросил царь.
– Ничего для него не сделали, – ответили слуги, которые прислуживали ему.
4 Царь сказал:
– Кто сейчас во дворе?
А Аман только что вошел тогда во внешний двор дворца говорить с царем о том, чтобы повесить Мардохея на виселице, которую он для него поставил.
5 Его слуги ответили:
– Во дворе сейчас стоит Аман.
– Пусть войдет, – сказал царь.
6 Когда Аман вошел, царь спросил его:
– Что следует сделать для человека, которого царь желает почтить?
Аман подумал про себя: «Кого же еще царь хочет почтить, как не меня?» 7 И он ответил царю:
– Пусть для человека, которого царь желает почтить, 8 принесут одежды, что носит царь, и приведут коня, на котором ездит царь, – того коня, у которого на голове царский венец. 9 Потом пусть одежды и коня дадут одному из самых высоких царских сановников. Пусть он оденет человека, которого царь желает почтить, и ведет его коня под уздцы по городским улицам, возвещая перед ним во всеуслышание: «Вот что делается для человека, которого царь желает почтить!»
10 – Ступай тотчас же, – приказал Аману царь, – возьми одежды и коня и сделай так, как только что посоветовал, для иудея Мардохея, который сидит у царских ворот. Не забудь ничего из того, что ты предложил.
11 Аман взял одежды и коня. Он одел Мардохея и повел его коня под уздцы по городским улицам, возвещая перед ним во всеуслышание:
– Вот что делается для человека, которого царь желает почтить!
12 После этого Мардохей вернулся к царским воротам. А Аман поспешил домой, закрыв от горя голову, 13 и рассказал своей жене Зерешь и всем своим друзьям обо всем, что с ним случилось.
Его советники и жена Зерешь сказали ему:
– Раз Мардохей, из-за которого началось твое падение, из иудеев, то ты не сможешь устоять против него и непременно погибнешь!
14 Когда они еще говорили с ним, прибыли царские евнухи и стали торопить его идти на пир, который приготовила Есфирь.
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 On that night the king could not sleep. And he gave orders to bring (A)the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles, and they were read before the king. 2 And it was found written how (B)Mordecai had told about (C)Bigthana[a] and (D)Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. 3 And the king said, “What honor or distinction has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” The king's young men who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.” 4 And the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered (E)the outer court of the king's palace to speak to the king about having Mordecai hanged on (F)the gallows[b] that he had prepared for him. 5 And the king's young men told him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.” 6 So Haman came in, and the king said to him, “What should be done to the man (G)whom the king delights to honor?” And Haman said to himself, “Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?” 7 And Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor, 8 let royal robes be brought, which the king has worn, (H)and the horse that the king has ridden, and on whose head (I)a royal crown[c] is set. 9 And let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king delights to honor, and let them lead him on the horse through the square of the city, (J)proclaiming 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 robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits (K)at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned.” 11 So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he dressed Mordecai and led him through the square of the city, proclaiming before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.”
12 Then Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning (L)and with his head covered. 13 And Haman told (M)his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the Jewish people, you will not overcome him but will surely fall before him.”
Esther Reveals Haman's Plot
14 While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring Haman (N)to the feast that Esther had prepared.
