Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before him,
1那夜王睡不着觉，就吩咐人取历史来，念给他听。
2They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus.
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 。
3And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all.
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。」
4And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king’s house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet which was prepared 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。）
5The servants answered: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in.
5臣仆说：「 哈曼 站在院内。」王说：「叫他进来。」
6And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself,
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？」
7Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,
7哈曼 就回答说：「王所喜悦尊荣的，
8Ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head,
8当将王常穿的朝服和戴冠的御马，
9And let the first of the king’s princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
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。」
10And the king said to him: Make haste and take the robe and the horse, and do as thou hast spoken to Mardochai the Jew, who sitteth before the gates of the palace. Beware thou pass over any of those things which thou hast spoken.
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。」
11So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
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。」
12But Mardochai returned to the palace gate: and Aman made haste to go to his house, mourning and having his head covered:
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，
13And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight.
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。」
14As they were yet speaking, the king’s eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared.
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。
