Capitolo 6
1 Onu noć ne mogaše car spavati, i zapovedi te mu donesoše knjigu od znamenitih događaja, dnevnike, te je čitaše caru.
2 I nađe se zapisano kako je Mardohej prokazao za Vihtana i Teresa, dva dvoranina, koji čuvahu stražu na pragu, da gledaju da dignu ruke na cara Asvira.
3 Tada reče car: Kakva je čast i kako je dobro učinjeno Mardoheju za to? A momci carevi, sluge njegove, rekoše: Nije mu učinjeno ništa.
4 A car reče: Ko je u tremu? A Aman beše došao u spoljašnji trem dvora carevog da kaže caru da se obesi Mardohej na vešala koja mu je pripravio.
5 A momci carevi rekoše mu: Gle, Aman stoji u tremu. A car reče: Neka dođe.
6 I Aman dođe, a car mu reče: Šta treba učiniti čoveku kog car hoće da proslavi? A Aman reče u sebi: Koga bi car hteo proslaviti ako ne mene?
7 I reče Aman caru: Koga car hoće da proslavi,
8 treba doneti carsko odelo koje car nosi, i dovesti konja na kome car jaše, i metnuti mu na glavu venac carski;
9 i odelo i konja treba dati kome između najvećih knezova carevih da obuku čoveka onog kog car hoće da proslavi, pa da ga provedu na konju po ulicama gradskim i viču pred njim: Ovako biva čoveku koga car hoće da proslavi.
10 Tada reče car Amanu: Brže uzmi odelo i konja kao što reče, i učini tako Mardoheju, Judejcu koji sedi na vratima carevim; nemoj izostaviti ništa što si rekao.
11 I uze Aman odelo i konja, i obuče Mardoheja i provede ga na konju po ulicama gradskim vičući pred njim: Ovako biva čoveku koga car hoće da proslavi.
12 Potom se vrati Mardohej na vrata careva, a Aman brže otide kući svojoj žalostan i pokrivene glave.
13 I pripovedi Aman Seresi, ženi svojoj i svim prijateljima svojim sve što mu se dogodi. Tada mu rekoše mudraci njegovi i Seresa žena njegova: Kad je od judejskog semena Mardohej pred kojim si počeo padati, nećeš mu odoleti, nego ćeš pasti pred njim.
14 I dok oni još govorahu s njim, dođoše dvorani carevi i brže odvedoše Amana na obed koji zgotovi Jestira.

Esther

Capitolo 6
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.
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.
