以斯帖记 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
王發現末底改有功未酬
6 那一夜,王睡不著覺,就吩咐人把史記,就是年鑒拿來,在王面前誦讀。 2 有一處記著說:王有兩個守門的太監:辟探和提列,企圖要謀害亞哈隨魯王;這事給末底改告發了。 3 王問:“為了這事,末底改得了甚麼尊榮和封賜沒有?”侍候王的眾臣僕回答:“他甚麼也沒有得到。” 4 王問:“誰在院子裡?”那時哈曼正進了王宮的外院,要求王把末底改掛在哈曼為他預備的木架上。 5 王的臣僕對他說:“是哈曼站在院子裡。”王說:“叫他進來。” 6 哈曼就進去,王問他:“王喜歡賜尊榮給他的人,要怎樣待他呢?”哈曼心裡想:“王喜歡賜尊榮的人,除我以外,還有誰呢?” 7 於是哈曼回答王:“王喜歡賜尊榮的人, 8 要把王常穿的朝服和王常騎的駿馬,就是頭戴王冠的駿馬帶來, 9 把朝服和駿馬交給王最尊貴的一個大臣手裡,把衣服給王喜歡賜尊榮的人穿上,使他騎在馬上,走過城中的街上,又要有人在他前面宣告:‘王喜歡賜尊榮的人,要這樣待他。’”
王命哈曼使末底改得尊榮
10 王對哈曼說:“趕快拿朝服和駿馬來,照著你所說的,去行在那坐在朝門那裡的猶大人末底改身上;你所說的,一樣也不可缺少。” 11 於是哈曼把朝服和駿馬拿來,先給末底改穿上朝服,然後使他騎在馬上,走過城中的街上,又在他前面宣告:“王喜歡賜尊榮的人,要這樣待他。” 12 末底改仍回到御門那裡;哈曼卻急急忙忙回了家,帶著悲哀的心蒙著頭。 13 哈曼把遭遇的一切事,都述說給他的妻子細利斯和他所有的朋友聽;他的謀士和妻子細利斯對他說:“在末底改面前,你開始失敗了;他若是猶大人,你就不能勝過他:你終必在他面前失敗。” 14 他們還與哈曼說話的時候,王的太監來了,催哈曼快走,赴以斯帖預備的筵席。
Esther 6
New International Version
Mordecai Honored
6 That night the king could not sleep;(A) so he ordered the book of the chronicles,(B) the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him. 2 It was found recorded there that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s officers who guarded the doorway, who had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.(C)
3 “What honor and recognition has Mordecai received for this?” the king asked.
“Nothing has been done for him,”(D) his attendants answered.
4 The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to speak to the king about impaling Mordecai on the pole he had set up for him.
5 His attendants answered, “Haman is standing in the court.”
“Bring him in,” the king ordered.
6 When Haman entered, the king asked him, “What should be done for the man the king delights to honor?”
Now Haman thought to himself, “Who is there that the king would rather honor than me?” 7 So he answered the king, “For the man the king delights to honor, 8 have them bring a royal robe(E) the king has worn and a horse(F) the king has ridden, one with a royal crest placed on its head. 9 Then let the robe and horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them robe the man the king delights to honor, and lead him on the horse through the city streets, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!(G)’”
10 “Go at once,” the king commanded Haman. “Get the robe and the horse and do just as you have suggested for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything you have recommended.”
11 So Haman got(H) the robe and the horse. He robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city streets, proclaiming before him, “This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!”
12 Afterward Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered(I) in grief, 13 and told Zeresh(J) his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him.
His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall(K) has started, is of Jewish origin, you cannot stand against him—you will surely come to ruin!”(L) 14 While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried Haman away to the banquet(M) Esther had prepared.
Esther 6
King James Version
6 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.
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.
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.
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.
5 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
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?
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
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:
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.
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.
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.
12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
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.
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.
