Esther 6
1 त्यो रात राजालाई निन्द्रै लागेन। तिनले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई दफतरको लेख पुस्तक आफू कहाँ ल्याउनु भने अनि त्यो राजालाई पढेर सुनाइयो। जब बिग्ताना अनि तेरेश।
2 संघारका रखवालाहरू मध्ये दुइजना राज अधिकारीहरूले राजा अहासूरसको विरूद्ध कसरी षड्यन्त्र गरे त्यसबारे मोर्दकैले गरेको सबै कुराको विवरणमा राजाले सुने।
3 तब राजाले भने, “यसका निम्ति मोर्दकैलाई हामीले के सम्मान अनि प्रशंसा दियौं?”अनि जवान मानिसहरू जो राजाका सेवामा थिए तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले तिनका निम्ति केहि गरेनौं। अनि राजाले भने त्यहाँ आँगनमा को छ?
4 अनि हामान राज महलको बाहिरी आगनँ मा आउँदै थिए, आफूले बनाएको फाँसीमा मोर्दकैलाई झुण्ड्याउनु भनी राजालाई भन्नका निम्ति।
5 त्यो जवान, राजाको सेवकले भने, “हामान आँगनमा उभिरहेकोछ।”अनि राजाले भने, “उसलाई यहाँ आउन देऊ।”
6 हामान आए। अनि राजाले तिनलाई भने, “राजाले सम्मान गर्न चाहने व्यक्तिलाई के गर्नुपर्छ?”अनि हामानले सोचे, “राजाले कसलाई म भन्दा अधिक सम्मान गर्न चाहन्छन्?”
7 त्यसर्थ हामानले राजालाई भने, “राजाले जसलाई सम्मान गर्न चाहनु हुन्छ, त्यस मानिसका निम्ति यसो गर्नुहोस्।
8 त्यस मानिस को निम्ति राजा स्वयंले लाउनु भएको राज-वस्त्र अनि एउटा घोडा जस माथि राजा चढनु भएको छ। तिनलाई दिनु होस्।
9 अनि उसको शिरमा एक राज-मुकुट राखिदिनुहोस्। राज-वस्त्रर र घोडालाई राजाका एक कुलीन अधिकारीको निगरारीमा राखियोस्। राजाले एक कुलीन अधिकारीको निगरारीमा राखियोस्। राजाले जसलाई सम्मान गर्न चाहनु हुन्छ त्यस मानिसलाई तिनीहरूद्वारा वस्त्र पहिराउन दिनुहोस अनि तिनीहरूद्वारा तिनलाई घोडामा चठाएर शहरको चौरमा परेड गराइयोस्। अनि तिनको अघि तिनीहरू, त्यस मानिसलाई यसै गरिने छ, जसलाई राजाले सम्मान गर्न चाहनु हुनेछ भनि कराउन्।”‘
10 “तब राजाले हामानलाई भने, “चाँडो, तिमीले अहिले भने झै वस्त्र अनि घोडा लेऊ राजाको द्वारमा बस्ने यहूदी मोर्दकैको निम्ति ती कुराहरू गरिदेऊ। तिमीले भनेका कुनै पनि कुरा गर्न नचुक।”
11 यसर्थ हामानले वस्त्र अनि घोडा तयार पारे तिनले मोर्दकैलाई वस्त्र पहिराई दिए। र तिनलाई शहरका चोक अनि सडकमा परीक्रमा गराए मोर्दकैको अघि-अघि कराए, “त्यस मानिसलाई यसै गरिनेछ जसलाई राजाले सम्मान गर्न चाहनु हुन्छ।”
12 त्यस पछि मोर्दकै राजाको द्वारामा फर्किए तर हामान आफ्नो घर तर्फ कुदे अनि लाजले आफ्नो शिर लुकाए।
13 तब हामानले आफ्नी पत्नी जेरेशलाई अनि आफ्ना साथीहरूलाई त्यहाँ भएको हरेक कुराको विवरण सुनाए। अनि उसका ज्ञानी साथीहरू र उसकी पत्नी जेरेशले उसलाई भने, “तिम्रो पतन जन्म-जात यहूदी मोर्देकै समक्ष शुरू भयो त्यसकारण तिमी उसको विरूद्ध खडा हुन सक्दैनौ साँचैनै तिमी उसको अघि पतन हुनेछौ अनि नष्ट हुनेछौ।
14 तिनीहरू तिनीसँग कुरा गरिरहेको बेला राजाका मानिसहरू आइपुगे। तिनीहरूले हामानलाई एस्तरले प्रदान गरेको भोजमा लगे।
1 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 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 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 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 And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 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 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
8 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 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 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 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 And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
13 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 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.
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
