Esther 6

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Noctem illam duxit rex insomnem, iussitque sibi afferri historias et annales priorum temporum. Quae cum illo praesente legerentur,

2 ventum ad illum locum ubi scriptum erat quo modo nunciasset Mardochaeus insidias Bagathan, et Thares eunuchorum, regem Assuerum iugulare cupientium.

3 Quod cum audisset rex, ait: Quid pro hac fide honoris ac praemii Mardochaeus consecutus est? Dixerunt ei servi illius ac ministri: Nihil omnino mercedis accepit.

4 Statimque rex, Quis est, inquit, in atrio? Aman quippe interius atrium domus regiae intraverat, ut suggereret regi, et iuberet Mardochaeum affigi patibulo, quod ei fuerat praeparatum.

5 Responderunt pueri: Aman stat in atrio. Dixitque rex: Ingrediatur.

6 Cumque esset ingressus, ait illi: Quid debet fieri viro, quem rex honorare desiderat? Cogitans autem in corde suo Aman, et reputans quod nullum alium rex, nisi se, vellet honorare,

7 respondit: Homo, quem rex honorare cupit,

8 debet indui vestibus regiis, et imponi super equum, qui de sella regis est, et accipere regium diadema super caput suum,

9 et primus de regiis principibus, ac tyrannis teneat equum eius, et per plateam civitatis incedens clamet, et dicat: Sic honorabitur, quemcumque voluerit rex honorare.

10 Dixitque ei rex: Festina, et sumpta stola et equo, fac, ut locutus es, Mardochaeo Iudaeo, qui sedet ante fores palatii. Cave ne quidquam de his, quae locutus es, praetermittas.

11 Tulit itaque Aman stolam et equum, indutumque Mardochaeum in platea civitatis, et impositum equo praecedebat, atque clamabat: Hoc honore condignus est, quemcumque rex voluerit honorare.

12 Reversusque Mardochaeus ad ianuam palatii: et Aman festinavit ire in domum suam, lugens et operto capite:

13 narravitque Zares uxori suae, et amicis omnia quae evenissent sibi. Cui responderunt sapientes, quos habebat in consilio, et uxor eius: Si de semine Iudaeorum Mardochaeus, ante quem cadere coepisti, non poteris ei resistere, sed cades in conspectu eius.

14 Adhuc illis loquentibus, venerunt eunuchi regis, et cito eum ad convivium, quod regina paraverat, pergere compulerunt.

New King James Version NKJV

1 That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the 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 eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

3 Then the king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" And the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

4 So the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

5 The king's servants said to him, "Haman is there, standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."

6 So Haman came in, and the king asked him, "What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman thought in his heart, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

7 And Haman answered the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,

8 let a royal robe be brought which the king has worn, and a horse on which the king has ridden, which has a royal crest placed on its head.

9 Then let this robe and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that he may array the man whom the king delights to honor. Then parade him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him: 'Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!' "

10 Then the king said to Haman, "Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king's gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken."

11 So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!"

12 Afterward Mordecai went back to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.

13 When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him."

14 While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs came, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.
