Young's Literal Translation
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 .
On that night hath
the sleep of
the
king
fled
away
, and he saith
to bring in
the book of memorials
of the Chronicles ,
and they are
read before the king ,
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.
and it is
found written that Mordecai had declared
concerning
Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs
of
the
king
, of
the keepers of the threshold
, who sought to put
forth
a
hand on king Ahasuerus.
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.
And the king saith
, `
What honour and greatness
hath been done to Mordecai for this? '
And
the servants of
the
king
, his
ministers,
say,
`
Nothing hath
been
done with
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 .
And the king saith
, `
Who `
is '
in the court? '
--
and
Haman hath
come in
to
the outer
court of the house of
the
king
, to say
to
the king to hang Mordecai on the tree
that he had prepared for him --
And the king's
servants said
unto him, Behold
, Haman standeth
in the court .
And the king said
, Let him come in.
and the servants of
the
king
say
unto him, `Lo
, Haman is
standing
in the court ;'
and the king saith
, `
Let him come in. '
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?
And
Haman cometh
in ,
and the king saith
to
him, `
What --
to
do
with
the man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted
? '
And
Haman saith
in his heart, `
To whom doth
the king delight to do honour more than myself? '
And Haman answered
the king, For
the man whom
the king delighteth
to
honour
,
And Haman saith
unto
the king, `
The man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted
,
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 :
let them
bring
in
royal clothing
that
the king hath
put
on
himself
, and a
horse on
which
the king hath
ridden
, and that
the royal crown
be
put
on
his head ,
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
.
and to
give
the
clothing
and the
horse into
the hand of a
man
of the heads
of
the
king
, the
chiefs,
and
they have
clothed
the man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted
, and caused
him to
ride
on the horse
in
a
broad
place
of the city, and called
before him :
Thus it is
done to the man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted
. '
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.
And
the king saith
to Haman, `
Haste, take the clothing
and the horse, as thou hast spoken
, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who
is
sitting
in
the gate of the
king;
there
doth
not
fall
a
thing
of
all that thou hast spoken. '
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
.
And
Haman taketh
the clothing,
and the horse, and clothed
Mordecai, and causeth
him to
ride
in
a
broad
place
of the city, and calleth
before him, `
Thus it is
done to
the man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted
. '
And Mordecai came
again
to
the king's
gate .
But
Haman hasted
to
his house mourning, and having
his
head
covered .
And Mordecai turneth
back
unto
the gate of
the
king,
and
Haman hath
been
hastened
unto
his house mourning, and with
covered head,
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.
and Haman recounteth
to
Zeresh his wife ,
and to
all his friends ,
all
that hath
met
him ,
and
his wise men say
to
him,
and Zeresh his wife, `
If Mordecai `is'
of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou art
not able
for
him, but dost
certainly
fall before him. '

yet talking
with him, came
the king's
chamberlains
, and hasted
to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had
prepared
.
They are
yet speaking
with him, and
eunuchs
of
the king
have
come

Haman unto the banquet that Esther hath
made
.
