Esther 2
1 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
Pēc tam, kad ķēniņa Ahasverus bardzība bija nostājusies, tad viņš pieminēja Vasti, un ko tā bija darījusi, un kas par viņu bija nospriests.
2 Then the king's servants who ministered to him said, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king.
Tad ķēniņa jaunekļi, kas viņam kalpoja, sacīja: lai ķēniņam meklē jaunas jumpravas skaistu vaigu.
3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, to the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women. And let their things for purification be given them,
Un lai ķēniņš ieceļ uzraugus visās savās valsts tiesās, ka tie sapulcē visas jaunās jumpravas skaistu vaigu uz Sūsanas pili, uz to sievu namu, apakš Egajus, ķēniņa kambarjunkura, tā sievu sarga, un lai pie tām notiek mazgāšana un svaidīšana.
4 and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king, and he did so.
Un kura jauna meita ķēniņam labi patiks, tā lai top par ķēniņieni Vastis vietā. Un tas vārds patika ķēniņam un viņš tā darīja.
5 There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,
Un viens Jūdu vīrs bija Sūsanas pilī, vārdā Mardakajs, tas bija Jaīra, tas Šimejus, tas Ķisa dēls, Benjaminietis;
6 who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
Tas bija aizvests no Jeruzālemes līdz ar tiem, kas tapa aizvesti ar Jekaniju, Jūda ķēniņu, ko NebukadNecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija aizvedis.
7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter. For she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful. And when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
Un viņš bija Adasas audžu tēvs, tā ir Estere, viņa brālēna meita, jo viņai nebija ne tēva ne mātes. Un viņa bija jauna meita daiļu augumu un skaistu vaigu. Un kad viņas tēvs un viņas māte nomira, tad Mardakajs viņu bija pieņēmis par meitu.
8 So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to Shushan the palace to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
Kad nu ķēniņa vārds un viņa pavēle izpaudās un daudz jaunas meitas tika savestas Sūsanas pilī apakš Egajus rokas, tad Estere arī tapa ņemta ķēniņa namā, apakš Egajus, tā sievu sarga, rokas.
9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. And he quickly gave her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were suitable to be given her out of the king's house. And he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women.
Un tā meita viņam patika un atrada žēlastību viņa priekšā, un viņš steidzās tai dot tās svaidāmās zāles priekš mazgāšanās un viņas daļu, un viņš tai deva septiņas daiļas jaunas meitas no ķēniņa nama, un viņš to noveda ar viņas meitām tai vislabākā vietā sievu namā.
10 Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred, for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.
Bet Estere nebija teikusi nedz savus ļaudis nedz savus radus, jo Mardakajs viņai bija piekodinājis, lai tā to neteicot.
11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.
Un Mardakajs staigāja ikdienas gar sievu nama pagalmu, lai dabūtu zināt, kā Esterei klājās un kas ar to būšot.
12 Now when the turn of every maiden came to go in to king Ahasuerus, after it had been done to her according to the law for the women twelve months (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, namely, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women),
Kad nu ikvienas jaunietes reize atnāca iet pie ķēniņa Ahasverus, kad pēc sievu likuma ar to bija darīts divpadsmit mēnešus, (jo tik daudz laika pagāja viņu mazgāšanai un svaidīšanai, proti sešus mēnešus ar mirru eļļu un sešus mēnešus ar balzamu un citām sievu zālēm), -
13 then the maiden came to the king in this way: Whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king's house.
Tad tā jauniete nāca pie ķēniņa, un ko viņa prasīja, to viņai deva, ka viņa ar to ietu no sievu nama uz ķēniņa namu.
14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, who kept the concubines. She came in to the king no more unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
Vakarā viņa iegāja un rītā viņa gāja atpakaļ uz otru sievu namu, apakš Zaāzgas, ķēniņa kambarjunkura, lieko sievu sarga; viņa negāja atkal pie ķēniņa, kā vien, kad ķēniņš viņu gribēja un viņu pie vārda sauca.
15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked upon her.
Kad nu Esteres, Abikaīla, Mardakaja brālēna, meitas, Mardakaja audzēknes, reize atnāca, iet pie ķēniņa, tad viņa neprasīja ne ko, ka tik vien ko Egajus, ķēniņa kambarjunkurs, tas sievu sargs, sacīja. Un Estere atrada žēlastību pie visiem, kas viņu redzēja.
16 So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
Tā Estere tapa ņemta pie ķēniņa Ahasverus ķēniņa namā desmitā mēnesī, tas ir Tebetmēnesis, viņa valdīšanas septītā gadā.
17 And the king loved Esther above all the women. And she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Un ķēniņš iemīlēja Esteri pār visām sievām, un viņa atrada vairāk žēlastības un laipnības viņa priekšā nekā visas jaunietes, un viņš lika ķēniņa kroni uz viņas galvu un to cēla pār ķēniņieni Vastis vietā.
18 Then the king made a great feast to all his rulers and his servants, even Esther's feast, and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts according to the bounty of the king.
Un ķēniņš taisīja lielas dzīres visiem saviem lielkungiem un kalpiem, - tās bija Esteres dzīres, - un deva valstīm atvieglināšanu un izdalīja dāvanas pēc ķēniņa bagātības.
19 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate.
Kad nu otrā reizē tās jaunietes tapa sapulcētas, tad Mardakajs sēdēja ķēniņa vārtos.
20 Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people, as Mordecai had charged her. For Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, as when she was brought up with him.
Bet Estere nebija teikusi ne savus radus, ne savus ļaudis, tā kā Mardakajs tai bija pavēlējis; jo Estere darīja pēc Mardakaja vārda, kā to laiku, kad viņa pie tā uzauga.
21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those who kept the threshold, were angry, and sought to lay hands on king Ahasuerus.
Tanīs dienās, kad Mardakajs sēdēja ķēniņa vārtos, Bigtans un Teres, divi ķēniņa kambarjunkuri no tiem sliekšņa sargiem, apskaitās un meklēja rokas pielikt pie ķēniņa Ahasverus.
22 And the thing became known to Mordecai, who showed it to Esther the queen, and Esther told the king of it in Mordecai's name.
Un šī lieta Mardakajum tapa zināma, un viņš to izteica ķēniņienei Esterei, un Estere to sacīja ķēniņam Mardakaja vārdā.
23 And when inquiry was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree. And it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
Un tā lieta tapa izmeklēta un tā atrasta, un tie divi tapa pakārti pie koka, un tas tapa ierakstīts laiku grāmatā priekš ķēniņa.
