以斯帖记 6
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1那夜王睡不着觉，就吩咐人取历史来，念给他听。
1On 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 。
2It 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 said, “What honor 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。）
4The 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臣仆说：「 哈曼 站在院内。」王说：「叫他进来。」
5The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
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？」
6So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?”
7哈曼 就回答说：「王所喜悦尊荣的，
7Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor,
8当将王常穿的朝服和戴冠的御马，
8let 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 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 honor 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 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。」
10Then 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。」
11Then 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 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，
12Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
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 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 yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
