1 Aquella noche el rey no podía dormir. Mandó traer los libros de los registros, y se los leyeron.
1 On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.
2 Allí estaba escrito que Mardoqueo había denunciado los planes de Bigtán y Teres, dos eunucos del rey que vigilaban la entrada y habían planeado atacar al rey Asuero.
2 It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
3 El rey preguntó: «¿Qué honor y recompensa ha recibido Mardoqueo por esto?». Los servidores que lo atendían respondieron: «No se ha hecho nada por él».
3 The king said, “What honor and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
4 El rey preguntó: «¿Quién está en el patio exterior?». Amán acababa de entrar en el patio exterior del palacio para pedir permiso al rey para colgar a Mardoqueo del poste que le había preparado.
4 The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 Los servidores respondieron: «Amán está esperando en el patio exterior». El rey dijo: «Que entre».
5 The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
6 Amán entró, y el rey le preguntó: «¿Qué se debe hacer por el hombre a quien el rey desea honrar?». Amán pensó: «¿A quién querrá honrar el rey más que a mí?».
6 So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?”
7 Entonces respondió: «Para el hombre a quien el rey desea honrar,
7 Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor,
8 que traigan los vestidos que usa el rey y el caballo que él monta, con una corona real en la cabeza del caballo.
8 let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.
9 Que entreguen los vestidos y el caballo a uno de los funcionarios más nobles del rey. Que vistan al hombre a quien el rey desea honrar y lo lleven a caballo por las calles de la ciudad, mientras van anunciando delante de él: “¡Así se trata al hombre a quien el rey desea honrar!”».
9 Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!’”
10 El rey le dijo a Amán: «Ve de inmediato. Toma los vestidos y el caballo, tal como has dicho, y haz todo eso por Mardoqueo, el judío que está sentado a la puerta del palacio. No omitas nada de lo que has dicho».
10 Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”
11 Amán tomó los vestidos y el caballo, vistió a Mardoqueo y lo llevó a caballo por las calles de la ciudad, anunciando delante de él: «¡Así se trata al hombre a quien el rey desea honrar!».
11 Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!”
12 Mardoqueo regresó a la puerta del palacio. Pero Amán se fue de prisa a su casa, triste y con la cabeza cubierta.
12 Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13 Le contó a su esposa Zeres y a todos sus amigos lo sucedido. Sus sabios y su esposa Zeres le dijeron: «Si Mardoqueo, que ha comenzado a vencerte, pertenece al pueblo judío, no podrás derrotarlo. Sin duda caerás ante él».
13 Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”
14 Mientras aún hablaban, llegaron los servidores del rey para llevar a Amán al banquete que Ester había preparado.
14 While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
