以斯帖記 6
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1那夜王睡不着覺，就吩咐人取歷史來，念給他聽。
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.
2正遇見書上寫着 說 ：王的太監中有兩個守門的， 辟探 和 提列 ，想要下手害 亞哈隨魯 王， 末底改 將這事告訴 王后 。
2And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, of those that kept the door, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
3王說：「 末底改 行了這事，賜他甚麼尊榮爵位沒有？」伺候王的臣僕回答說：「沒有賜他甚麼。」
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.'
4王說：「誰在院子裏？」（那時 哈曼 正進王宮的外院，要求王將 末底改 掛在他所預備的木架上。）
4And the king said: 'Who is in the court?' — Now Haman was come into the outer court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. —
5臣僕說：「 哈曼 站在院內。」王說：「叫他進來。」
5And the king's servants said unto him: 'Behold, Haman standeth in the court.' And the king said: 'Let him come in.'
6哈曼 就進去。王問他說：「王所喜悅尊榮的人，當如何待他呢？」 哈曼 心裏說：「王所喜悅尊榮的，不是我是誰呢？」
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 said in his heart: 'Whom would the king delight to honour besides myself?' —
7哈曼 就回答說：「王所喜悅尊榮的，
7And Haman said unto the king: 'For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
8當將王常穿的朝服和戴冠的御馬，
8let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on whose head a crown royal is set;
9都交給王極尊貴的一個大臣，命他將衣服給王所喜悅尊榮的人穿上，使他騎上馬，走遍城裏的街市，在他面前宣告說：王所喜悅尊榮的人，就如此待他。」
9and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honour, and cause him to ride 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王對 哈曼 說：「你速速將這衣服和馬，照你所說的，向坐在朝門的 猶大 人 末底改 去行。凡你所說的，一樣不可缺。」
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.'
11於是 哈曼 將朝服給 末底改 穿上，使他騎上馬，走遍城裏的街市，在他面前宣告說：「王所喜悅尊榮的人，就如此待他。」
11Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride 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末底改 仍回到朝門， 哈曼 卻憂憂悶悶地蒙着頭，急忙回家去了，
12And Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13將所遇的一切事詳細說給他的妻 細利斯 和他的眾朋友聽。他的智慧人和他的妻 細利斯 對他說：「你在 末底改 面前始而敗落，他如果是 猶大 人，你必不能勝他，終必在他面前敗落。」
13And Haman recounted unto 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, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.'
14他們還與 哈曼 說話的時候，王的太監來催 哈曼 快去赴 以斯帖 所預備的筵席。
14While they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hastened to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
