절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	The King Honors Mordecai That night the king could not sleep, and he had a servant read him the records of what had happened since he had been king.	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	When the servant read how Mordecai had kept Bigthana and Teresh from killing 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.
3	the king asked, “What has been done to reward Mordecai for this?” “Nothing, Your Majesty!” the king's servants replied.	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	About this time, Haman came in to ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on the gallows he had built. The king saw him and asked, “Who is that man waiting in front of the throne room?”	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	The king's servants answered, “Your Majesty, it is Haman.” “Tell him to come in,” the king commanded.	And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6	When Haman entered the room, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man I want to honor?” Haman was sure that he was the one the king wanted to honor.	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	So he replied, “Your Majesty, if you wish to honor a man,	And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
8	get someone to bring him one of your own robes and one of your own horses with a fancy headdress.	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	Tell one of your highest officials to place your robe on this man and lead him through the streets on your horse, while someone shouts, ‘This is how the king honors a man!’ ”	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	The king replied, “Hurry and do just what you have said! Don't forget a thing. Get the robe and the horse for Mordecai the Jew, who serves as one of the king's officials!”	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	Haman got the king's robe and put it on Mordecai. He led him through the city on the horse and shouted as he went, “This is how the king honors a man!”	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	Afterwards, Mordecai returned to his duties in the king's palace, and Haman hurried home, hiding his face in shame.	And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
13	Haman told his wife and friends what had happened. Then his wife and his advisors said, “If Mordecai is a Jew, this is just the beginning of your troubles! You will end up a ruined man.”	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	They were still talking, when the king's servants came and quickly took Haman to the dinner that 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.
