1. അന്നു രാത്രി രാജാവിന്നു ഉറക്കം വരായ്കയാല് അവന് ദിനവൃത്താന്തങ്ങള് കുറിച്ചുവെച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന പുസ്തകം കൊണ്ടുവരുവാന് കല്പിച്ചു; അതു രാജാവിനെ വായിച്ചു കോള്പ്പിച്ചു;

1. ఆ రాత్రి నిద్రపట్టక పోయినందున రాజ్యపు సమాచార గ్రంథము తెమ్మని రాజు ఆజ్ఞ ఇయ్యగా అది రాజు ఎదుట చదివి వినిపింపబడెను.

2. ഉമ്മരിപ്പടി കാവല്ക്കാരായി രാജാവിന്റെ ഷണ്ഡന്മാരില് ബിഗ്ദ്ധാനാ, തേരെശ് എന്നീ രണ്ടുപേര് അഹശ്വേരോശ്രാജാവിനെ കയ്യേറ്റം ചെയ്വാന് ശ്രമിച്ചിരുന്ന സംഗതി മൊര്ദ്ദെഖായി അറിവു തന്നപ്രകാരം അതില് എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്നതു കണ്ടു.

2. ద్వారపాలకులైన బిగ్తాను తెరెషు అను రాజుయొక్క యిద్దరు నపుంసకులు రాజైన అహష్వేరోషును చంప యత్నించిన సంగతి మొర్దెకై తెలిపినట్టు అందులో వ్రాయబడి యుండెను.

3. ഇതിന്നു വേണ്ടി മൊര്ദ്ദെഖായിക്കു എന്തു ബഹുമാനവും പദവിയും കൊടുത്തു എന്നു രാജാവു ചോദിച്ചു. ഒന്നും കൊടുത്തിട്ടില്ല എന്നു രാജാവിനെ സേവിച്ചുനിന്ന ഭൃത്യന്മാര് പറഞ്ഞു.

3. రాజు ఆ సంగతి విని ఇందు నిమిత్తము మొర్దెకైకి బహుమతి యేదైనను ఘనత యేదైనను చేయబడెనా అని యడుగగా రాజు సేవకులు అతనికేమియు చేయబడలేదని ప్రత్యుత్తర మిచ్చిరి.

4. പ്രാകാരത്തില് ആരുള്ളു എന്നു രാജാവു ചോദിച്ചു. എന്നാല് ഹാമാന് മൊര്ദ്ദെഖായിക്കു വേണ്ടി താന് തീര്പ്പിച്ച കഴുവിന്മേല് അവനെ തൂക്കിക്കളയേണ്ടതിന്നു രാജാവിനോടു അപേക്ഷിപ്പാന് രാജധാനിയുടെ പുറത്തു പ്രാകാരത്തില് വന്നു നില്ക്കയായിരുന്നു.

4. అప్పుడు ఆవరణములో ఎవరో యున్నారని రాజు చెప్పెను. అప్పటికి హామాను తాను చేయించిన ఉరికొయ్యమీద మొర్దెకైని ఉరితీయింప సెలవిమ్మని రాజుతో మనవి చేయుటకై రాజనగరుయొక్క ఆవరణము లోనికి వచ్చియుండెను.

5. രാജാവിന്റെ ഭൃത്യന്മാര് അവനോടുഹാമാന് പ്രാകാരത്തില് നിലക്കുന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു. അവന് അകത്തു വരട്ടെ എന്നു രാജാവു കല്പിച്ചു.

5. రాజ సేవకులుఏలినవాడా చిత్త గించుము, హామాను ఆవరణములో నిలువబడియున్నాడని రాజుతో చెప్పగా రాజు అతని రానియ్యుడని సెలవిచ్చి నందున హామాను లోపలికి వచ్చెను.

6. ഹാമാന് അകത്തു വന്നപ്പോള് രാജാവു അവനോടുരാജാവു ബഹുമാനിപ്പാന് ഇച്ഛിക്കുന്ന പുരുഷന്നു എന്തെല്ലാമാകുന്നു ചെയ്തുകൊടുക്കേണ്ടതു എന്നു ചോദിച്ചു. എന്നെയല്ലാതെ ആരെ രാജാവു അത്ര അധികം ബഹുമാനിപ്പാന് ഇച്ഛിക്കും എന്നു ഹാമാന് ഉള്ളുകൊണ്ടു വിചാരിച്ചു.

6. రాజు ఘనపరచ నపేక్షించువానికి ఏమిచేయవలెనని రాజు అతని నడుగగా హామానునన్ను గాక మరి ఎవరిని రాజు ఘనపరచ నపే క్షించునని తనలో తాననుకొని రాజుతో ఇట్లనెను

7. ഹാമാന് രാജാവിനോടുരാജാവു ബഹുമാനിപ്പാന് ഇച്ഛിക്കുന്ന പുരുഷന്നു വേണ്ടി

7. రాజు ఘనపరచ నపేక్షించువానికి చేయ తగినదేమనగా

8. രാജാവു ധരിച്ചുവരുന്ന രാജവസ്ത്രവും രാജാവു കയറുന്ന കുതിരയും അവന്റെ തലയില് വെക്കുന്ന രാജകിരീടവും കൊണ്ടുവരട്ടെ.

8. రాజు ధరించుకొను రాజవస్త్రములను రాజు ఎక్కు గుఱ్ఱమును రాజు తన తలమీద ఉంచుకొను రాజకీరీటమును ఒకడు తీసికొని రాగా

9. വസ്ത്രവും കുതിരയും രാജാവിന്റെ അതിശ്രേഷ്ഠപ്രഭുക്കന്മാരില് ഒരുത്തന്റെ കയ്യില് ഏല്പിക്കേണം; രാജാവു ബഹുമാനിപ്പാന് ഇച്ഛിക്കുന്നു പുരുഷനെ ആ വസ്ത്രം ധരിപ്പിച്ചു കുതിരപ്പുറത്തു കയറ്റി പട്ടണവീഥിയില് കൂടെ കൊണ്ടുനടന്നുരാജാവു ബഹുമാനിപ്പാന് ഇച്ഛിക്കുന്ന പുരുഷന്നു ഇങ്ങനെ ചെയ്യും എന്നു അവന്റെ മുമ്പില് വിളിച്ചുപറയേണം എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

9. ఘనులైన రాజుయొక్క అధిపతులలో ఒకడు ఆ వస్త్రములను ఆ గుఱ్ఱమును పట్టుకొని, రాజు ఘనపరచ నపేక్షించు వానికి ఆ వస్త్రములను ధరింప జేసి ఆ గుఱ్ఱముమీద అతనిని ఎక్కించి రాజవీధిలో అతని నడిపించుచురాజు ఘనపరచ నపేక్షించువానికి ఈప్రకారముగా చేయతగునని అతనిముందర చాటింపవలెను.

10. രാജാവു ഹാമാനോടുനീ വേഗം ചെന്നു വസ്ത്രവും കുതിരയും നീ പറഞ്ഞതുപോലെ കൊണ്ടുവന്നു രാജാവിന്റെ വാതില്ക്കല് ഇരിക്കുന്ന യെഹൂദനായ മൊര്ദ്ദെഖായിക്കു അങ്ങനെയൊക്കെയും ചെയ്ക; നീ പറഞ്ഞതില് ഒന്നും കുറെച്ചുകളയരുതു എന്നു കല്പിച്ചു.

10. అందుకు రాజునీవు చెప్పినప్రకారమే శీఘ్రముగా ఆ వస్త్రములను ఆ గుఱ్ఱమును తీసికొని, రాజు గుమ్మమునొద్ద కూర్చునియున్న యూదుడైన మొర్దెకైకి ఆలాగుననే చేయుము; నీవు చెప్పినదానిలో ఒకటియు విడువక అంతయు చేయుమని హామానునకు ఆజ్ఞ ఇచ్చెను.

11. അപ്പോള് ഹാമാന് വസ്ത്രവും കുതിരയും കൊണ്ടുവന്നു മൊര്ദ്ദെഖായിയെ വസ്ത്രം ധരിപ്പിച്ചു കുതിരപ്പുറത്തു കയറ്റി പട്ടണവീഥിയില്കൂടെ കൊണ്ടുനടന്നുരാജാവു ബഹുമാനിപ്പാന് ഇച്ഛിക്കുന്ന പുരുഷന്നു ഇങ്ങനെ ചെയ്യും എന്നു അവന്റെ മുമ്പില് വിളിച്ചുപറഞ്ഞു.

11. ఆ ప్రకారమే హామాను ఆ వస్త్రములను ఆ గుఱ్ఱమును తీసికొని, మొర్దెకైకి ఆ వస్త్రములను ధరింపజేసి ఆ గుఱ్ఱము మీద అతనిని ఎక్కించి రాజ వీధిలో అతని నడిపించుచు, రాజు ఘనపరచ నపేక్షించువానికి ఈ ప్రకారము చేయ తగునని అతని ముందర చాటించెను.

12. മൊര്ദ്ദെഖായി രാജാവിന്റെ വാതില്ക്കല് മടങ്ങിവന്നു. ഹാമാനോ ദുഃഖിതനായി തലമൂടിയുംകൊണ്ടു വേഗത്തില് വീട്ടിലേക്കു പോയി.

12. తరువాత మొర్దెకై రాజు గుమ్మమునొద్దకు వచ్చెను; అయితే హామాను తల కప్పుకొని దుఃఖించుచు తన యింటికి త్వరగా వెళ్లి పోయెను.

13. തനിക്കു സംഭവിച്ചതൊക്കെയും ഹാമാന് ഭാര്യയായ സേരെശിനോടും തന്റെ സകല സ്നേഹിതന്മാരോടും വിവരിച്ചുപറഞ്ഞു. അവന്റെ വിദ്വാന്മാരും അവന്റെ ഭാര്യ സേരെശും അവനോടുമൊര്ദ്ദെഖായിയുടെ മുമ്പില് നീ വീഴുവാന് തുടങ്ങി; അവന് യെഹൂദ്യവംശക്കാരനാകുന്നു എങ്കില് നീ അവനെ ജയിക്കയില്ല; അവനോടു തോറ്റുപോകെയുള്ള എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

13. హామాను తనకు సంభవించినదంతయు తన భార్యయైన జెరెషుకును తన స్నేహితులకందరికిని తెలుపగా, అతని యొద్దనున్న జ్ఞానులును అతని భార్యయైన జెరెషును ఎవనిచేత నీకు అధికార నష్టము కలుగుచున్నదో ఆ మొర్దెకై యూదుల వంశపువాడైనయెడల అతనిమీద నీకు జయము కలుగదు, అతనిచేత అవశ్యముగా చెడిపోదువని ఆతనితో అనిరి.

14. അവര് അവനോടു സംസാരിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുമ്പോള് രാജാവിന്റെ ഷണ്ഡന്മാര് വന്നു എസ്ഥേര് ഒരുക്കിയവിരുന്നിന്നു ഹാമാനെ വേഗത്തില് കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ടുപോയി.

14. వారు ఇంక మాటలాడుచుండగా రాజుయొక్క నపుంసకులు వచ్చి ఎస్తేరు చేయిం చిన విందునకు రమ్మని హామానును త్వరపెట్టిరి.
