Ester 6
Bible PGR
1Cette nuit-là le sommeil fuyait le roi, et il dit qu'on lui apportât le livre mémorial, les annales ; et il en fut fait, lecture devant le roi.
2Là se trouvait consignée la révélation faite par Mardochée au sujet de Bigthan et Thérès, les deux eunuques du roi d'entre les gardes du seuil, qui avaient cherché à porter la main sur le roi Assuérus.
3Et le roi dit : Quel prix et quel honneur Mardochée a-t-il obtenus pour cela ? Et les écuyers du roi qui étaient de service auprès de lui, dirent : Il n'a rien reçu.
4Et le roi dit : Qui est dans la cour ? Or Aman arrivait dans la cour extérieure du palais royal, pour proposer au roi de faire pendre Mardochée au poteau qu'il avait préparé pour lui.
5Et les écuyers du roi lui dirent : Voilà, c'est Aman qui est dans la cour. Et le roi dit : Qu'il entre.
6Et Aman entra, et le roi lui dit : Que faut-il faire à un homme que le roi veut récompenser ? Et Aman disait en son cœur : Qui est-ce que le roi voudrait récompenser sinon moi ?
7Et Aman dit au roi : L'homme que le roi veut récompenser !…
8il faut apporter un habillement royal dont le roi se revêt, et le cheval que le roi monte, et sur la tête duquel on place la couronne royale,
9puis remettre l'habillement et le cheval à quelqu'un des Grands du roi, des nobles, et revêtir l'homme que le roi veut récompenser, et le promener monté sur le cheval dans les rues de la ville en criant devant lui : Ainsi est traité l'homme que le roi veut récompenser !
10Et le roi dit à Aman : Vite, prends l'habillement et le cheval, comme tu as dit, et fais ainsi pour Mardochée, le Juif, qui est assis dans la porte du roi ; n'omets aucun des points que tu as indiqués.
11Alors Aman prit l'habillement et le cheval, et revêtit Mardochée et le conduisit par les rues de la ville en criant devant lui : Ainsi est traité l'homme que le roi veut récompenser !
12Et Mardochée revint à la porte du roi, mais Aman regagna en hâte sa maison, triste et la tête voilée.
13Et Aman raconta à Zérès, sa femme, et à tous ses amis tout ce qui lui était arrivé. Alors ses sages et Zérès, sa femme, lui dirent : Si Mardochée, devant qui tu as commencé de tomber, est de la race des Juifs, tu ne l'emporteras pas sur lui, mais c'est toi qui tomberas devant lui.
14Ils s'entretenaient encore avec lui, lorsque arrivèrent les eunuques du roi, qui se hâtèrent de conduire Aman au banquet préparé par Esther.
Reina-Valera 1909
1AQUELLA noche se le fué el sueño al rey, y dijo que le trajesen el libro de las memorias de las cosas de los tiempos: y leyéronlas delante del rey.
2Y hallóse escrito que Mardochêo había denunciado de Bigthan y de Teres, dos eunucos del rey, de la guarda de la puerta, que habían procurado meter mano en el rey Assuero.
3Y dijo el rey: ¿Qué honra ó que distinción se hizo á Mardochêo por esto? Y respondieron los servidores del rey, sus oficiales: Nada se ha hecho con él.
4Entonces dijo el rey: ¿Quién está en el patio? Y Amán había venido al patio de afuera de la casa del rey, para decir al rey que hiciese colgar á Mardochêo en la horca que él le tenía preparada.
5Y los servidores del rey le respondieron: He aquí Amán está en el patio. Y el rey dijo: Entre.
6Entró pues Amán, y el rey le dijo: ¿Qué se hará al hombre cuya honra desea el rey? Y dijo Amán en su corazón: ¿A quién deseará el rey hacer honra más que á mí?
7Y respondió Amán al rey: Al varón cuya honra desea el rey,
8Traigan el vestido real de que el rey se viste, y el caballo en que el rey cabalga, y la corona real que está puesta en su cabeza;
9Y den el vestido y el caballo en mano de alguno de los príncipes más nobles del rey, y vistan á aquel varón cuya honra desea el rey, y llévenlo en el caballo por la plaza de la ciudad, y pregonen delante de él: Así se hará al varón cuya honra desea el rey.
10Entonces el rey dijo á Amán: Date priesa, toma el vestido y el caballo, como tú has dicho, y hazlo así con el judío Mardochêo, que se sienta á la puerta del rey; no omitas nada de todo lo que has dicho.
11Y Amán tomó el vestido y el caballo, y vistió á Mardochêo, y llevólo á caballo por la plaza de la ciudad, é hizo pregonar delante de él: Así se hará al varón cuya honra desea el rey.
12Después de esto Mardochêo se volvió á la puerta del rey, y Amán se fué corriendo á su casa, apesadumbrado y cubierta su cabeza.
13Contó luego Amán á Zeres su mujer, y á todos sus amigos, todo lo que le había acontecido: y dijéronle sus sabios, y Zeres su mujer: Si de la simiente de los Judíos es el Mardochêo, delante de quien has comenzado á caer, no lo vencerás; antes caerás por cierto delante de él.
14Aun estaban ellos hablando con él, cuando los eunucos del rey llegaron apresurados, para hacer venir á Amán al banquete que Esther había dispuesto.
King James Version
1On 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.
2And 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.
3And 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.
4And 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.
5And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6So 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?
7And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
8Let 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:
9And 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.
10Then 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.
11Then 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.
12And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
13And 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.
14And while they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.

1On 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.
2It 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.
3The 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.”
4The 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.
5The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
6So 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?”
7Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor,
8let 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.
9Let 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!’”
10Then 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.”
11Then 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!”
12Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13Haman 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.”
14While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
