Esther - Chapter: 6

>
6:1On 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.
6:2And 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.
6:3And 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.
6:4And 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.
6:5And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6:6So 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?
6:7And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
6:8Let 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:
6:9And 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.
6:10Then 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.
6:11Then 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.
6:12And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
6:13And 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.
6:14And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.

 

6:1בלילה ההוא נדדה שׁנת המלך ויאמר להביא את ספר הזכרנות דברי הימים ויהיו נקראים לפני המלך׃
6:2וימצא כתוב אשׁר הגיד מרדכי על בגתנא ותרשׁ שׁני סריסי המלך משׁמרי הסף אשׁר בקשׁו לשׁלח יד במלך אחשׁורושׁ׃
6:3ויאמר המלך מה נעשׂה יקר וגדולה למרדכי על זה ויאמרו נערי המלך משׁרתיו לא נעשׂה עמו דבר׃
6:4ויאמר המלך מי בחצר והמן בא לחצר בית המלך החיצונה לאמר למלך לתלות את מרדכי על העץ אשׁר הכין׃
6:5ויאמרו נערי המלך אליו הנה המן עמד בחצר ויאמר המלך יבוא׃
6:6ויבוא המן ויאמר לו המלך מה לעשׂות באישׁ אשׁר המלך חפץ ביקרו ויאמר המן בלבו למי יחפץ המלך לעשׂות יקר יותר ממני׃
6:7ויאמר המן אל המלך אישׁ אשׁר המלך חפץ ביקרו׃
6:8יביאו לבושׁ מלכות אשׁר לבשׁ בו המלך וסוס אשׁר רכב עליו המלך ואשׁר נתן כתר מלכות בראשׁו׃
6:9ונתון הלבושׁ והסוס על יד אישׁ משׂרי המלך הפרתמים והלבשׁו את האישׁ אשׁר המלך חפץ ביקרו והרכיבהו על הסוס ברחוב העיר וקראו לפניו ככה יעשׂה לאישׁ אשׁר המלך חפץ ביקרו׃
6:10ויאמר המלך להמן מהר קח את הלבושׁ ואת הסוס כאשׁר דברת ועשׂה כן למרדכי היהודי היושׁב בשׁער המלך אל תפל דבר מכל אשׁר דברת׃
6:11ויקח המן את הלבושׁ ואת הסוס וילבשׁ את מרדכי וירכיבהו ברחוב העיר ויקרא לפניו ככה יעשׂה לאישׁ אשׁר המלך חפץ ביקרו׃
6:12וישׁב מרדכי אל שׁער המלך והמן נדחף אל ביתו אבל וחפוי ראשׁ׃
6:13ויספר המן לזרשׁ אשׁתו ולכל אהביו את כל אשׁר קרהו ויאמרו לו חכמיו וזרשׁ אשׁתו אם מזרע היהודים מרדכי אשׁר החלות לנפל לפניו לא תוכל לו כי נפול תפול לפניו׃
6:14עודם מדברים עמו וסריסי המלך הגיעו ויבהלו להביא את המן אל המשׁתה אשׁר עשׂתה אסתר׃

 

6:1On that night hath the sleep of the king fled away, and he saith to bring in the book of memorials of the Chronicles, and they are read before the king,
6:2and it is found written that Mordecai had declared concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king, of the keepers of the threshold, who sought to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus.
6:3And the king saith, `What honour and greatness hath been done to Mordecai for this?' And the servants of the king, his ministers, say, `Nothing hath been done with him.'
6:4And the king saith, `Who `is' in the court?' -- and Haman hath come in to the outer court of the house of the king, to say to the king to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him --
6:5and the servants of the king say unto him, `Lo, Haman is standing in the court;' and the king saith, `Let him come in.'
6:6And Haman cometh in, and the king saith to him, `What -- to do with the man in whose honour the king hath delighted?' And Haman saith in his heart, `To whom doth the king delight to do honour more than myself?'
6:7And Haman saith unto the king, `The man in whose honour the king hath delighted,
6:8let them bring in royal clothing that the king hath put on himself, and a horse on which the king hath ridden, and that the royal crown be put on his head,
6:9and to give the clothing and the horse into the hand of a man of the heads of the king, the chiefs, and they have clothed the man in whose honour the king hath delighted, and caused him to ride on the horse in a broad place of the city, and called before him: Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.'
6:10And the king saith to Haman, `Haste, take the clothing and the horse, as thou hast spoken, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in the gate of the king; there doth not fall a thing of all that thou hast spoken.'
6:11And Haman taketh the clothing, and the horse, and clothed Mordecai, and causeth him to ride in a broad place of the city, and calleth before him, `Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.'
6:12And Mordecai turneth back unto the gate of the king, and Haman hath been hastened unto his house mourning, and with covered head,
6:13and Haman recounteth to Zeresh his wife, and to all his friends, all that hath met him, and his wise men say to him, and Zeresh his wife, `If Mordecai `is' of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou art not able for him, but dost certainly fall before him.'
6:14They are yet speaking with him, and eunuchs of the king have come, and haste to bring in Haman unto the banquet that Esther hath made.
