1 On 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.
Usiku ule mfalme hakupata usingizi; akaamuru aletewe kitabu cha maandiko ya taarifa, nayo yakasomwa mbele ya mfalme.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
Ikaonekana kuwa imeandikwa ya kwamba Mordekai aliwachongea Bigthana na Tereshi, wasimamizi wawili wa mfalme, katika hao waliolinda mlango, waliotaka kumtia mikono mfalme Ahasuero.
3 And 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.
Mfalme akasema, Je! Ni heshima gani au jaha gani Mordekai aliyofanyiziwa kwa ajili ya hayo? Watumwa wa mfalme waliomhudumu wakamwambia, Hakuna alilofanyiziwa.
4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Mfalme akasema, Yupo nani behewani? Ikawa Hamani alikuwa ameingia katika ua wa nje wa nyumba ya mfalme, aseme na mfalme, ili kumtundika Mordekai juu ya mti ule aliomwekea tayari.
5 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
Basi watumwa wa mfalme wakamwambia, Tazama, Hamani yupo, amesimama behewani. Mfalme akasema, Na aingie.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
Basi Hamani akaingia. Mfalme akamwambia, Afanyiziwe nini yule ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu? Hamani akasema moyoni mwake, Ni nani ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu kuliko mimi?
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
Basi Hamani akamwambia mfalme, Yule ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu,
8 let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
na aletewe mavazi ya kifalme ambayo mfalme amezoea kuyavaa, na farasi ambaye mfalme humpanda mwenyewe, ambaye ametiwa taji ya kifalme kichwani;
9 and let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him 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.
na yale mavazi na yule farasi akabidhiwe mkononi mmojawapo wa maakida wa mfalme aliye mstahiki; ili makusudi amvike yule ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu, na kumrakibisha juu ya farasi kuipitia njia kuu ya mjini, na kupiga mbiu mbele yake, kusema, Hivyo ndivyo atakavyofanyiziwa mtu yule ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu.
10 Then 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.
Basi mfalme akamwambia Hamani, Hima! Twaa mavazi na farasi kama ulivyosema, ukamfanyizie vivyo hivyo Mordekai, Myahudi, aketiye mlangoni pa mfalme; lisipungue neno lo lote katika yote uliyoyasema.
11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
Ndipo Hamani alipoyatwaa mavazi na farasi, akamvika Mordekai yale mavazi, akamrakibisha juu ya farasi kuipitia njia kuu ya mjini, akapiga mbiu mbele yake, Hivyo ndivyo atakavyofanyiziwa mtu yule ambaye mfalme apenda kumheshimu.
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
Kisha Mordekai akarudi kwenye mlango wa mfalme. Bali Hamani akaenda mbio nyumbani kwake, mwenye msiba, na kichwa chake kimefunikwa.
13 And Haman told 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 be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
Basi Hamani akawasimulia Zereshi mkewe na rafiki zake wote kila neno lililompata. Kisha watu wake wenye hekima na Zereshi mkewe wakamwambia, Ikiwa huyu Mordekai, ambaye umeanza kuanguka mbele yake, ni wa uzao wa Wayahudi, wewe hutamweza, bali kuanguka utaanguka mbele yake.
14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Hata walipokuwa katika kusema naye, wasimamizi-wa-nyumba wa mfalme walifika, wakahimiza kumleta Hamani katika karamu ile aliyoiandaa Esta.
