1 이 밤에 王(왕)이 잠이 오지 아니하므로 命(명)하여 歷代(역대) 日記(일기)를 가져다가 自己(자기) 앞에서 읽히더니

That night the king could not sleep; so he ordered the book of the chronicles, the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him.

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 그 속에 記錄(기록)하기를 門(문) 지킨 王(왕)의 두 內侍(내시) 빅다나와 데레스가 아하수에로 王(왕)을 謀殺(모살)하려 하는 것을 모르드개가 告發(고발)하였다 하였는지라

It was found recorded there that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officers who guarded the doorway, who had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.

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 王(왕)이 가로되 이 일을 因(인)하여 무슨 尊貴(존귀)와 官爵(관작)을 모르드개에게 베풀었느냐 侍臣(시신)이 對答(대답)하되 아무 것도 베풀지 아니하였나이다

What honor and recognition has Mordecai received for this? the king asked. "Nothing has been done for him," his attendants answered.

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 王(왕)이 가로되 누가 뜰에 있느냐 마침 하만이 自己(자기)가 세운 나무에 모르드개 달기를 王(왕)께 求(구)하고자 하여 王宮(왕궁) 바깥 뜰에 이른지라

The king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he had erected for him.

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 侍臣(시신)이 告(고)하되 하만이 뜰에 섰나이다 王(왕)이 가로되 들어오게 하라 하니

His attendants answered, "Haman is standing in the court." "Bring him in," the king ordered.

And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

6 하만이 들어오거늘 王(왕)이 묻되 王(왕)이 尊貴(존귀)케 하기를 기뻐하는 사람에게 어떻게 하여야 하겠느뇨 하만이 心中(심중)에 이르되 王(왕)이 尊貴(존귀)케 하기를 기뻐하시는 者(자)는 나 外(외)에 누구리요 하고

When Haman entered, the king asked him, "What should be done for the man the king delights to honor?" Now Haman thought to himself, "Who is there that the king would rather honor than me?"

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 王(왕)께 아뢰되 王(왕)께서 사람을 尊貴(존귀)케 하시려면

So he answered the king, "For the man the king delights to honor,

And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,

8 王(왕)의 입으시는 王服(왕복)과 王(왕)의 타시는 말과 머리에 쓰시는 王冠(왕관)을 取(취)하고

have them bring a royal robe the king has worn and a horse the king has ridden, one with a royal crest placed on its head.

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 그 王服(왕복)과 말을 王(왕)의 方伯(방백) 中(중) 가장 尊貴(존귀)한 者(자)의 손에 붙여서 王(왕)이 尊貴(존귀)케 하시기를 기뻐하시는 사람에게 옷을 입히고 말을 태워서 城中(성중) 거리로 다니며 그 앞에서 頒布(반포)하여 이르기를 王(왕)이 尊貴(존귀)케 하기를 기뻐하시는 사람에게는 이같이 할 것이라 하게 하소서

Then let the robe and horse be entrusted to one of the king's most noble princes. Let them robe the man the king delights to honor, and lead him on the horse through the city streets, proclaiming before him, 'This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!'"

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 ● 이에 王(왕)이 하만에게 이르되 너는 네 말대로 速(속)히 王服(왕복)과 말을 取(취)하여 大闕(대궐) 門(문)에 앉은 유다 사람 모르드개에게 行(행)하되 무릇 네가 말한 것에서 조금도 빠짐이 없이 하라

Go at once, the king commanded Haman. "Get the robe and the horse and do just as you have suggested for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate. Do not neglect anything you have recommended."

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 하만이 王服(왕복)과 말을 取(취)하여 모르드개에게 옷을 입히고 말을 태워 城中(성중) 거리로 다니며 그 앞에서 頒布(반포)하되 王(왕)이 尊貴(존귀)케 하시기를 기뻐하시는 사람에게는 이같이 할 것이라 하니라

So Haman got the robe and the horse. He robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city streets, proclaiming before him, "This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!"

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 모르드개는 다시 大闕(대궐) 門(문)으로 돌아오고 하만은 煩惱(번뇌)하여 머리를 싸고 急(급)히 집으로 돌아와서

Afterward Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief,

And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.

13 自己(자기)의 當(당)한 모든 일을 그 아내 세레스와 모든 親舊(친구)에게 告(고)하매 그 中(중) 智慧(지혜)로운 者(자)와 그 아내 세레스가 가로되 모르드개가 果然(과연) 유다 族屬(족속)이면 當身(당신)이 그 앞에서 屈辱(굴욕)을 當(당)하기 始作(시작)하였으니 能(능)히 저를 이기지 못하고 分明(분명)히 그 앞에 엎드러지리이다

and told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, "Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has started, is of Jewish origin, you cannot stand against him--you will surely come to ruin!"

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 아직 말이 그치지 아니하여서 王(왕)의 內侍(내시)들이 이르러 하만을 데리고 에스더의 베푼 잔치에 빨리 나아가니라
에5:8

While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried Haman away to the banquet Esther had prepared.

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.
