以斯帖记 6
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1那夜王睡不着觉，就吩咐人取历史来，念给他听。
1That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
2正遇见书上写着 说 ：王的太监中有两个守门的， 辟探 和 提列 ，想要下手害 亚哈随鲁 王， 末底改 将这事告诉 王后 。
2And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3王说：「 末底改 行了这事，赐他什么尊荣爵位没有？」伺候王的臣仆回答说：「没有赐他什么。」
3The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
4王说：「谁在院子里？」（那时 哈曼 正进王宫的外院，要求王将 末底改 挂在他所预备的木架上。）
4“Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
5臣仆说：「 哈曼 站在院内。」王说：「叫他进来。」
5So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
6哈曼 就进去。王问他说：「王所喜悦尊荣的人，当如何待他呢？」 哈曼 心里说：「王所喜悦尊荣的，不是我是谁呢？」
6Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”
7哈曼 就回答说：「王所喜悦尊荣的，
7And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
8当将王常穿的朝服和戴冠的御马，
8have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head.
9都交给王极尊贵的一个大臣，命他将衣服给王所喜悦尊荣的人穿上，使他骑上马，走遍城里的街市，在他面前宣告说：王所喜悦尊荣的人，就如此待他。」
9Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’”
10王对 哈曼 说：「你速速将这衣服和马，照你所说的，向坐在朝门的 犹大 人 末底改 去行。凡你所说的，一样不可缺。」
10“Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”
11于是 哈曼 将朝服给 末底改 穿上，使他骑上马，走遍城里的街市，在他面前宣告说：「王所喜悦尊荣的人，就如此待他。」
11So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!”
12末底改 仍回到朝门， 哈曼 却忧忧闷闷地蒙着头，急忙回家去了，
12Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief.
13将所遇的一切事详细说给他的妻 细利斯 和他的众朋友听。他的智慧人和他的妻 细利斯 对他说：「你在 末底改 面前始而败落，他如果是 犹大 人，你必不能胜他，终必在他面前败落。」
13Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will fall before him.”
14他们还与 哈曼 说话的时候，王的太监来催 哈曼 快去赴 以斯帖 所预备的筵席。
14While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
