Chapter 6

1That night, sleep deserted the king, and he ordered the book of records, the annals, to be brought; and it was read to the king.

ba-LAI-lah ha-HU na-d'-DAH sh'-NAT ha-ME-lekh va-YO-mer l'-ha-VEE et SAY-fer ha-zikh-ro-NOT div-RAY ha-ya-MEEM va-yih-YU nik-ra-EEM lif-NAY ha-ME-lekh

2There it was found written that Mordechai had denounced Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who guarded the threshold, who had plotted to do away with King Ahasuerus.

3“What honor or advancement has been conferred on Mordechai for this?” the king inquired. “Nothing at all has been done for him,” replied the king's servants who were in attendance on him.

vai-YO-mer ha-ME-lekh, ma na-a-SA y'-KAHR u-g'-du-LAH l'-mor-DOKHAI al-ZEH, vai-YO-mer-U na-a-RAY ha-ME-lekh, m'-sha-RE-tav, lo na-a-SA i-MO da-VAR

4“Who is in the court?” the king asked. For Haman had just entered the outer court of the royal palace, to speak to the king about having Mordechai impaled on the stake he had prepared for him.

vai-YO-mer ha-ME-lekh, mi ve-KHA-tser, v'-ha-MAN ba la-KHA-tzar, beit ha-ME-lekh, ha-KHEE-tzo-NAH, lay-MOR, la-ME-lekh, lit-LOT et mor-da-KHAI al ha-ETZ, a-SHER he-KHEEN LO

5“It is Haman standing in the court,” the king's servants answered him. “Let him enter,” said the king.

vai-YO-meru na-a-RAY ha-ME-lekh e-LAV: hi-NEH ha-MAN o-MED be-cha-TZER, vai-YO-mer ha-ME-lekh ya-VO.

6Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for a man whom the king desires to honor?” Haman said to himself, “Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?”

vai-YA-vo ha-MAN va-YO-mer LO ha-ME-lekh, mah la-a-SOT ba-ISH a-SHER ha-ME-lekh kha-FAYTS bi-KA-ro, vai-YO-mer ha-MAN b'-li-BO, l'-MEE yakh-POTZ ha-ME-lekh la-a-SOT y'-KAR yo-TAYR mi-ME-nee

7So Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king desires to honor,

vai-YO-mer ha-MAN el ha-ME-lekh, EESH a-SHER ha-ME-lekh kha-FAYTS bi-KA-ro

זוַיֹּ֥אמֶר הָמָ֖ן אֶל־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ אִ֕ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חָפֵ֥ץ בִּיקָרֽוֹ׃

8let royal garb which the king has worn be brought, and a horse on which the king has ridden and on whose head a royal diadem has been set;

ya-VI-u le-BUSH mal-KHUT a-SHER la-VASH-BO ha-ME-lekh v'-SUS a-SHER ra-KHAV a-LAV ha-ME-lekh va-a-SHER ni-TAN KE-ter mal-KHUT b'-RO-sho

9and let the attire and the horse be put in the charge of one of the king's noble courtiers. And let the man whom the king desires to honor be attired and paraded on the horse through the city square, while they proclaim before him: This is what is done for the man whom the king desires to honor!”

10“Quick, then!” said the king to Haman. “Get the garb and the horse, as you have said, and do this to Mordechai the Yehudi, who sits in the king's gate. Omit nothing of all you have proposed.”

vai-YO-mer ha-ME-lekh l'-ha-MAN ma-HAYR ka-KHET et ha-le-VUSH v'-et ha-SUS ka-a-SHER di-BAR-ta va-a-SEH-khen l'-mor-DO-khai ha-y'-hu-DEE ha-yo-SHAYV b'-sha-AR ha-ME-lekh al-ta-FEL da-VAR mi-KOL a-SHER di-BAR-ta

11So Haman took the garb and the horse and arrayed Mordechai and paraded him through the city square; and he proclaimed before him: This is what is done for the man whom the king desires to honor!

vai-YI-kakh ha-MAN et ha-le-VUSH v'-et ha-SUS vai-YAL-besh et mor-do-KHAI vai-YAR-ki-VE-hu bi-RE-khov ha-IYR vai-YIK-ra l'-fa-NAV ka-KHA ye-a-SEH la-ISH a-SHER ha-ME-lekh kha-FETZ bi-ka-RO

יאוַיִּקַּ֤ח הָמָן֙ אֶת־הַלְּב֣וּשׁ וְאֶת־הַסּ֔וּס וַיַּלְבֵּ֖שׁ אֶֽת־מׇרְדֳּכָ֑י וַיַּרְכִּיבֵ֙הוּ֙ בִּרְח֣וֹב הָעִ֔יר וַיִּקְרָ֣א לְפָנָ֔יו כָּ֚כָה יֵעָשֶׂ֣ה לָאִ֔ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חָפֵ֥ץ בִּיקָרֽוֹ׃

12Then Mordechai returned to the king's gate, while Haman hurried home, his head covered in mourning.

13There Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had befallen him. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordechai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Yehudiish stock, you will not overcome him; you will fall before him to your ruin.”

14While they were still speaking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurriedly brought Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.
