١ 1 بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ لَمَّا خَمِدَ غَضَبُ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ، ذَكَرَ وَشْتِي وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ وَمَا حُتِمَ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا.

And on every day and day Mordecai [was] walking back and forth to front of [the] court of [the] house of the women to know [the] welfare of Esther and what? was it done with her.

١٢ 12 وَلَمَّا بَلَغَتْ نَوْبَةُ فَتَاةٍ فَفَتَاةٍ لِلدُّخُولِ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهَا حَسَبَ سُنَّةِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا كَانَتْ تُكْمَلُ أَيَّامُ تَعَطُّرِهِنَّ، سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ بِزَيْتِ ٱلْمُرِّ وَسِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ بِٱلْأَطْيَابِ وَأَدْهَانِ تَعَطُّرِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ.

١٣ 13 وَهَكَذَا كَانَتَ كُلُّ فَتَاةٍ تَدْخُلُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَكُلُّ مَا قَالَتْ عَنْهُ أُعْطِيَ لَهَا لِلدُّخُولِ مَعَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

And in this [way] the young woman [was] going into the king all that she said it was given to her to go with her from [the] house of the women to [the] house of the king.

١٤ 14 فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ دَخَلَتْ وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلثَّانِي إِلَى يَدِ شَعَشْغَازَ خَصِيِّ ٱلْمَلِكِ حَارِسِ ٱلسَّرَارِيِّ. لَمْ تَعُدْ تَدْخُلْ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَّا إِذَا سُرَّ بِهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَدُعِيَتْ بِٱسْمِهَا.

١٥ 15 وَلَمَّا بَلَغَتْ نَوْبَةُ أَسْتِيرَ ٱبْنَةِ أَبَيِحَائِلَ عَمِّ مُرْدَخَايَ ٱلَّذِي ٱتَّخَذَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ ٱبْنَةً لِلدُّخُولِ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ، لَمْ تَطْلُبْ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مَا قَالَ عَنْهُ هَيْجَايُ خَصِيُّ ٱلْمَلِكِ حَارِسُ ٱلنِّسَاءِ. وَكَانَتْ أَسْتِيرُ تَنَالُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْ كُلِّ مَنْ رَآهَا.

And when arrived [the] turn of Esther [the] daughter of Abihail [the] uncle of Mordecai whom he had taken of him to a daughter to go to the king not she requested anything that except [that] which he said Hegai [the] eunuch of the king [the] keeper of the women and she was Esther bearing favor in [the] eyes of all [those who] saw her.

١٦ 16 وَأُخِذَتْ أَسْتِيرُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ إِلَى بَيْتِ مُلْكِهِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، هُوَ شَهْرُ طِيبِيتَ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ.

And she was taken Esther to the king Ahasuerus into [the] house of royalty his in the month tenth that [is] [the] month of Tebeth in year seven of reign his.

١٧ 17 فَأَحَبَّ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَسْتِيرَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ، وَوَجَدَتْ نِعْمَةً وَإِحْسَانًا قُدَّامَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْعَذَارَى، فَوَضَعَ تَاجَ ٱلْمُلْكِ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا وَمَلَّكَهَا مَكَانَ وَشْتِي.

And he loved the king Esther more than all the women and she bore favor and favor before him more than all the virgins and he put a crown of royalty on head her and he made queen her in place of Vashti.

١٨ 18 وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَلِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً لِجَمِيعِ رُؤَسَائِهِ وَعَبِيدِهِ، وَلِيمَةَ أَسْتِيرَ. وَعَمِلَ رَاحَةً لِلْبِلَادِ وَأَعْطَى عَطَايَا حَسَبَ كَرَمِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

And he made the king a feast great for all officials his and servants his [the] feast of Esther and a holiday for the provinces he made and he gave tribute according to [the] hand of the king.

And when were gathered virgins a second [time] and Mordecai [was] sitting at [the] gate of the king.

٢٠ 20 وَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَسْتِيرُ أَخْبَرَتْ عَنْ جِنْسِهَا وَشَعْبِهَا كَمَا أَوْصَاهَا مُرْدَخَايُ. وَكَانَتْ أَسْتِيرُ تَعْمَلُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ مُرْدَخَايَ كَمَا كَانَتْ فِي تَرْبِيَتِهَا عِنْدَهُ.

Not Esther [was] telling kindred her and people her just as he had commanded to her Mordecai and [the] command of Mordecai Esther [was] doing just as she had done in guardianship with him.

٢١ 21 فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، بَيْنَمَا كَانَ مُرْدَخَايُ جَالِسًا فِي بَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، غَضِبَ بِغْثَانُ وَتَرَشُ خَصِيَّا ٱلْمَلِكِ حَارِسَا ٱلْبَابِ، وَطَلَبَا أَنْ يَمُدَّا أَيْدِيَهُمَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ.

In the days those and Mordecai [was] sitting at [the] gate of the king he was angry Bigthan and Teresh two of [the] eunuchs of the king from [the] guards of the threshold and they sought to stretch out a hand on the king Ahasuerus.

٢٢ 22 فَعُلِمَ ٱلْأَمْرُ عِنْدَ مُرْدَخَايَ، فَأَخْبَرَ أَسْتِيرَ ٱلْمَلِكَةَ، فَأَخْبَرَتْ أَسْتِيرُ ٱلْمَلِكَ بِٱسْمِ مُرْدَخَايَ.

And it was made known the matter to Mordecai and he told to Esther the queen and she spoke Esther to the king in [the] name of Mordecai.

٢٣ 23 فَفُحِصَ عَنِ ٱلْأَمْرِ وَوُجِدَ، فَصُلِبَا كِلَاهُمَا عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ، وَكُتِبَ ذَلِكَ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

And it was sought the matter and it was found and they were hanged [the] two of them on a gallows and it was written in [the] book of [the] matters of the days before the king.
