Esther 6
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
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.
1那夜王睡不着觉，就吩咐人取历史来，念给他听。
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.
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 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.'
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: '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. —
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。）
5And the king's servants said unto him: 'Behold, Haman 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。」
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?' —
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？」
7And Haman said unto the king: 'For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
7哈曼 就回答说：「王所喜悦尊荣的，
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;
8当将王常穿的朝服和戴冠的御马，
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.'
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。」
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.'
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。」
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.'
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。」
12And Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hasted 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 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.'
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。」
14While they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hastened to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther 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。
