1And he abode at that time in the king’s court with Bagatha and Thara the king’s eunuchs, who were porters of the palace.Or egli in quel tempo stava nella corte del re con Bagatha, e Thara eunuchi del re, che erano uscieri del palazzo.AND he abode that time in the kings court with Bagatha and Thara the kings eunuches, which were porters of the palace.Morabatur autem eo tempore in aula regis cum Bagatha et Thara eunuchis regis, qui janitores erant palatii. 2And when he understood their designs, and had diligently searched into their projects, he learned that they went about to lay violent hands on king Artaxerxes, and he told the king thereof.Ed egli avendo penetrati i loro pensieri, e diligentemente investigati i loro disegni, si assicurò, che ei cercavano di metter le mani addosso ad Artaserse, e lo rivelò al re.And when he vnderstood their cogitations, and had throughly seene their cares he learned that they went about to lay hands on king Artaxerxes, and he told the king therof.Cumque intellexisset cogitationes eorum, et curas diligentius pervidisset, didicit quod conarentur in regem Artaxerxem manus mittere, et nuntiavit super eo regi. 3Then the king had them both examined, and after they had confessed, commanded them to be put to death.Il quale, fatto il processo ad ambedue, e quegli essendo confessi, ordinò, che fosser condoni alla morte.Who hauing them both in examination, when they had confesssd he commanded them to be led to death.Qui de utroque, habita quæstione, confessos jussit duci ad mortem. 4But the king made a record of what was done: and Mardochai also committed the memory of the thing to writing.E il re fece scrivere nel Diario questo avvenimento; e anche Mardocheo lo descrisse per conservarne memoria.But the king wrote that which was done, in the comentaries: and Mardocheus also committed the memorie of the thing to wriring.Rex autem quod gestum erat, scripsit in commentariis: sed et Mardochæus rei memoriam litteris tradidit. 5And the king commanded him, to abide in the court of the palace, and gave him presents for the information.E il re ordinò, che egli stesse nel palazzo, e gli furon dati dei doni per la scoperta fatta.And the king commanded him, that he should abide in the court of the palace, geuing him giftes for the delation.Præcepitque ei rex, ut in aula palatii moraretur, datis ei pro delatione muneribus. 6But Aman the son of Amadathi the Bugite was in great honour with the king, and sought to hurt Mardochai and his people, because of the two eunuchs of the king who were put to death.Ma Aman figliuolo di Amadathi, Bugeo, era in grandissima riputazione presso del re, e voleva far del male a Mardocheo, e al suo popolo a causa dei due eunuchi del re puniti di morte.But Aman the sonne of Amadathi the Bugeite was most glorious before the king, and would hurt Mardocheus, and his people, for the two eunuches of the king, which were put to death. Hitherto the proeme. That which foloweth was set in that place, where it is written in the volum: And should spoyle their goodes. VVhich we found in the common edition only.Aman vero filius Amadathi Bugæus erat gloriosissimus coram rege, et voluit nocere Mardochæo et populo ejus pro duobus eunuchis regis qui fuerant interfecti. Et diripuerunt bona, vel substantias eorum. Epistolæ autem hoc exemplar fuit.
