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.
Ο-δὲ-κύριος-απέστησεν-τὸν-ύπνον-απὸ-τοῦ-βασιλέως-τὴν-νύκτα-εκείνην-,-καὶ-εῖπεν-τῶ-διδασκάλω-αυτοῦ-εισφέρειν-γράμματα-μνημόσυνα-τῶν-ημερῶν-αναγινώσκειν-αυτῶ-.-
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.
εῦρεν-δὲ-τὰ-γράμματα-τὰ-γραφέντα-περὶ-Μαρδοχαίου-,-ως-απήγγειλεν-τῶ-βασιλεῖ-περὶ-τῶν-δύο-ευνούχων-τοῦ-βασιλέως-εν-τῶ-φυλάσσειν-αυτοὺς-καὶ-ζητῆσαι-επιβαλεῖν-τὰς-χεῖρας-Αρταξέρξη-.-
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.”
εῖπεν-δὲ-ο-βασιλεύς-Τίνα-δόξαν-ὴ-χάριν-εποιήσαμεν-τῶ-Μαρδοχαίω-;-καὶ-εῖπαν-οι-διάκονοι-τοῦ-βασιλέως-Ουκ-εποίησας-αυτῶ-ουδέν-.-
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.
εν-δὲ-τῶ-πυνθάνεσθαι-τὸν-βασιλέα-περὶ-τῆς-ευνοίας-Μαρδοχαίου-ιδοὺ-Αμαν-εν-τῆ-αυλῆ-·-εῖπεν-δὲ-ο-βασιλεύς-Τίς-εν-τῆ-αυλῆ-;-ο-δὲ-Αμαν-εισῆλθεν-ειπεῖν-τῶ-βασιλεῖ-κρεμάσαι-τὸν-Μαρδοχαῖον-επὶ-τῶ-ξύλω-,-ῶ-ητοίμασεν-.-
5 The king’s servants said to him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.”
καὶ-εῖπαν-οι-διάκονοι-τοῦ-βασιλέως-Ιδοὺ-Αμαν-έστηκεν-εν-τῆ-αυλῆ-·-καὶ-εῖπεν-ο-βασιλεύς-Καλέσατε-αυτόν-.-
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?”
εῖπεν-δὲ-ο-βασιλεὺς-τῶ-Αμαν-Τί-ποιήσω-τῶ-ανθρώπω-,-ὸν-εγὼ-θέλω-δοξάσαι-;-εῖπεν-δὲ-εν-εαυτῶ-Αμαν-Τίνα-θέλει-ο-βασιλεὺς-δοξάσαι-ει-μὴ-εμέ-;-
7 And Haman answered the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor,
εῖπεν-δὲ-πρὸς-τὸν-βασιλέα-Άνθρωπον-,-ὸν-ο-βασιλεὺς-θέλει-δοξάσαι-,-
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.
ενεγκάτωσαν-οι-παῖδες-τοῦ-βασιλέως-στολὴν-βυσσίνην-,-ὴν-ο-βασιλεὺς-περιβάλλεται-,-καὶ-ίππον-,-εφ᾿-ὸν-ο-βασιλεὺς-επιβαίνει-,-
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!’ ”
καὶ-δότω-ενὶ-τῶν-φίλων-τοῦ-βασιλέως-τῶν-ενδόξων-καὶ-στολισάτω-τὸν-άνθρωπον-,-ὸν-ο-βασιλεὺς-αγαπᾶ-,-καὶ-αναβιβασάτω-αυτὸν-επὶ-τὸν-ίππον-καὶ-κηρυσσέτω-διὰ-τῆς-πλατείας-τῆς-πόλεως-λέγων-Ούτως-έσται-παντὶ-ανθρώπω-,-ὸν-ο-βασιλεὺς-δοξάζει-.-
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.”
εῖπεν-δὲ-ο-βασιλεὺς-τῶ-Αμαν-Καθὼς-ελάλησας-,-ούτως-ποίησον-τῶ-Μαρδοχαίω-τῶ-Ιουδαίω-τῶ-θεραπεύοντι-εν-τῆ-αυλῆ-,-καὶ-μὴ-παραπεσάτω-σου-λόγος-ῶν-ελάλησας-.-
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!”
έλαβεν-δὲ-Αμαν-τὴν-στολὴν-καὶ-τὸν-ίππον-καὶ-εστόλισεν-τὸν-Μαρδοχαῖον-καὶ-ανεβίβασεν-αυτὸν-επὶ-τὸν-ίππον-καὶ-διῆλθεν-διὰ-τῆς-πλατείας-τῆς-πόλεως-καὶ-εκήρυσσεν-λέγων-Ούτως-έσται-παντὶ-ανθρώπω-,-ὸν-ο-βασιλεὺς-θέλει-δοξάσαι-.-
12 Afterward Mordecai went back to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.
επέστρεψεν-δὲ-ο-Μαρδοχαῖος-εις-τὴν-αυλήν-,-Αμαν-δὲ-υπέστρεψεν-εις-τὰ-ίδια-λυπούμενος-κατὰ-κεφαλῆς-.-
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.”
καὶ-διηγήσατο-Αμαν-τὰ-συμβεβηκότα-αυτῶ-Ζωσαρα-τῆ-γυναικὶ-αυτοῦ-καὶ-τοῖς-φίλοις-,-καὶ-εῖπαν-πρὸς-αυτὸν-οι-φίλοι-καὶ-η-γυνή-Ει-εκ-γένους-Ιουδαίων-Μαρδοχαῖος-,-ῆρξαι-ταπεινοῦσθαι-ενώπιον-αυτοῦ-,-πεσὼν-πεσῆ-·-ου-μὴ-δύνη-αυτὸν-αμύνασθαι-,-ότι-θεὸς-ζῶν-μετ᾿-αυτοῦ-.--
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.
έτι-αυτῶν-λαλούντων-παραγίνονται-οι-ευνοῦχοι-επισπεύδοντες-τὸν-Αμαν-επὶ-τὸν-πότον-,-ὸν-ητοίμασεν-Εσθηρ-.-
