| BSB 1 That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him. | NBVE 1 Aquella noche, al rey se le fue el sueño y ordenó que le leyeran las crónicas de su reino, que estaban en la biblioteca. |
| BSB 2 And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes. | NBVE 2 Leyeron hasta el punto en que se relataba la forma en que Mardoqueo había delatado a Bigtán y Teres, los dos oficiales del rey, encargados de vigilar la puerta del palacio, que habían planeado asesinar al rey. |
| BSB 3 The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants. | NBVE 3 ―¿Qué recompensa le hemos dado a Mardoqueo por haber hecho esto? —preguntó el rey. ―Nada— respondieron sus oficiales. |
| BSB 4 “Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him. | NBVE 4 En ese preciso momento, Amán entraba al patio exterior del palacio, para pedirle al rey que colgara a Mardoqueo en la horca que había preparado. Por eso, el rey preguntó: ―¿Quién está en el patio? |
| BSB 5 So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king. | NBVE 5 ―Es Amán, Su Majestad —le respondieron sus oficiales. ―Díganle que venga —ordenó el rey. |
| BSB 6 Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?” | NBVE 6 Entonces Amán entró y se presentó delante del rey, que le preguntó: ―¿En qué forma honrarías a un hombre al que yo deseo honrar? Amán pensó: «¿A quién querrá honrar el rey más que a mí?». |
| BSB 7 And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor, | NBVE 7–8 Y respondió: ―Haría traer ropas reales que el rey haya usado, el caballo del rey, la corona real, |
| BSB 8 have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head. | |
| BSB 9 Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’” | NBVE 9 y ordenaría a los príncipes más nobles del rey que lo vistieran y lo llevaran por las calles montado sobre el caballo del rey, y que fueran anunciando delante de él: “¡De esta manera el rey honra a una persona que le ha agradado!”. |
| BSB 10 “Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.” | NBVE 10 ―¡Magnifico! —dijo el rey—. Toma las vestiduras y el caballo, y haz así con Mardoqueo, el judío que trabaja en la puerta real. Hazlo todo en la misma forma que lo has sugerido, sin que se te escape ni un solo detalle. |
| BSB 11 So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!” | NBVE 11 Amán tomó las vestiduras, se las puso a Mardoqueo, lo hizo montar en el caballo del rey, y lo condujo por las calles gritando: «¡De esta manera el rey honra a los que le agradan!». |
| BSB 12 Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief. | NBVE 12 Después de esto, Mardoqueo regresó a su trabajo, pero Amán se retiró a su casa. Se sentía humillado. |
| BSB 13 Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will fall before him.” | NBVE 13 Cuando les contó a su esposa Zeres y a todos sus amigos lo que había ocurrido, ellos le dijeron: ―Si Mardoqueo es judío, no podrás destruirlo. ¡Oponerte a él será tu derrota! |
| BSB 14 While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared. | NBVE 14 Mientras aún discutían con él, los mensajeros llegaron para conducir a Amán rápidamente al banquete que Ester había preparado. |
