Esther 4
1 When Mordecai had heard this, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth, strewing ashes on his head, and he cried out with a loud voice in the main street of the city, revealing the anguish of his soul.
Nang maalaman nga ni Mardocheo ang lahat na nagawa, hinapak ni Mardocheo ang kaniyang suot, at nanamit ng kayong magaspang na may mga abo, at lumabas sa gitna ng bayan, at humiyaw ng malakas at kalagimlagim na hiyaw:
2 And he continued with this lamenting, even up to the gate of the palace, for no one clothed with sackcloth is permitted to enter the king’s court.
At siya'y naparoon hanggang sa harap ng pintuang-daan ng hari: sapagka't walang makapapasok sa loob ng pintuang-daan ng hari na nakapanamit ng magaspang na kayo.
3 Likewise, in all provinces, towns, and places where the king’s cruel decision arrived, there was extraordinary mourning among the Jews with fasting, wailing, and weeping, with many using sackcloth and ashes for their bed.
At sa bawa't lalawigan, na kinararatingan ng utos ng hari at ng kaniyang pasiya, ay nagkaroon ng malakas na panangisan sa gitna ng mga Judio, at ng pagaayuno, at ng iyakan at ng taghuyan; at marami ay nagsipanamit ng kayong magaspang at mga abo.
4 Then Esther’s maids and eunuchs went in and informed her. When she heard it, she was shocked, and she sent a garment to clothe him and to take away the sackcloth, but he would not accept it.
At ang mga dalaga ni Esther at ang kaniyang mga kamarero ay nagsiparoon, at isinaysay sa kaniya; at ang reina ay namanglaw na mainam: at siya'y nagpadala ng bihisan upang isuot ni Mardocheo, at upang hubarin ang kaniyang kayong magaspang: nguni't hindi niya tinanggap.
5 And she sent for Hathach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to minister to her, and she instructed him to go to Mordecai and to discern from him why he was doing this.
Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Esther si Atach, na isa sa mga kamarero ng hari, na siya niyang inihalal na magingat sa kaniya, at binilinan niyang pumaroon kay Mardocheo, upang maalaman kung ano yaon, at kung bakit gayon.
6 And departing, Hathach went to Mordecai, who was standing in the street of the city, in front of the palace entrance.
Sa gayo'y nilabas nga ni Atach si Mardocheo, sa luwal na dako ng bayan, na nasa harap ng pintuang-daan ng hari.
7 He told him everything that had happened, how Haman had promised to transfer silver into the king’s treasury for the death of the Jews.
At isinaysay sa kaniya ni Mardocheo ang lahat na nangyari sa kaniya, at ang lubos na kabilangan ng salapi na ipinangako ni Aman na ibayad sa mga ingatang-yaman ng hari hinggil sa mga Judio, upang lipulin sila.
8 Also, he gave him a copy of the edict that was hanging up in Susa, so that he would show it to the queen and advise her to go in to the king and beg him on behalf of her people.
Binigyan din niya siya ng salin ng pasiya na natanyag sa Susan upang lipulin sila, upang ipakilala kay Esther, at ipahayag sa kaniya: at upang ibilin sa kaniya na siya'y paroon sa hari upang mamanhik sa kaniya, at upang hingin sa kaniya, dahil sa kaniyang bayan.
9 And Hathach returned and informed Esther of all that Mordecai had said.
At si Atach ay naparoon, at isinaysay kay Esther ang mga salita ni Mardocheo.
10 She answered him, and ordered him say to Mordecai:
Nang magkagayo'y nagsalita si Esther kay Atach, at nagpasabi kay Mardocheo, na sinasabi,
11 “All the servants of the king and all the provinces that are under his realm understand that anyone, whether man or woman, who enters the king’s inner court, who has not been summoned, is immediately to be put to death without any delay, unless the king should happen to extend the golden scepter to him, as a sign of clemency, so that he will be able to live. How then can I go in to the king, when, for thirty days now, I have not been called to him?”
Lahat ng lingkod ng hari at ang bayan ng mga lalawigan ng hari ay nangakakaalam, na sinoman, maging lalake o babae, na paroroon sa hari sa pinakaloob na looban, na hindi tinatawag, may isang kautusan sa kaniya, na siya'y patayin, liban yaong paglawitan ng hari ng gintong cetro, upang siya'y mabuhay: nguni't hindi ako tinawag na paroon sa hari ng tatlong pung araw na ito.
12 And when Mordecai had heard this, he again sent word to Esther, saying, “Do not think that you will save so much as your own soul, just because you are in the king’s house and are above all the Jews.
At isinaysay nila kay Mardocheo ang mga salita ni Esther.
13 And when Mordecai had heard this, he again sent word to Esther, saying, “Do not think that you will save so much as your own soul, just because you are in the king’s house and are above all the Jews.
Nang magkagayo'y pinapagbalik ng sagot sila ni Mardocheo kay Esther: Huwag mong isipin sa iyong sarili na ikaw ay makatatanan sa bahay ng hari, ng higit kay sa lahat na mga Judio.
14 For, if you remain silent now, the Jews will be delivered through some other opportunity, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for this reason, so that you would be prepared for such a time as this?”
Sapagka't kung ikaw ay lubos na tumahimik sa panahong ito, ay magtataglay nga ng katiwasayan at kaligtasan ang mga Judio sa ibang dako, nguni't ikaw at ang sangbahayan ng iyong magulang ay mapapahamak: at sinong nakakaalam na kung kaya ka pinasapit sa kaharian ay dahil sa bagay na ito?
15 And again Esther sent to Mordecai in these words:
Nang magkagayo'y nagpabalik ng sagot si Esther kay Mardocheo:
16 “Go and gather together all the Jews whom you will find in Susa, and pray for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights, and I will fast with my handmaids similarly, and then I will go in to the king, doing what is against the law, not having been called, and so expose myself to mortal danger.”
Ikaw ay yumaon, pisanin mo ang lahat na Judio, na nangakaharap sa Susan, at ipagayuno ninyo ako, at huwag kayong magsikain o magsiinom man na tatlong araw, gabi o araw; ako naman at ang aking mga dalaga ay mangagaayuno ng gayon ding paraan; at sa gayo'y papasukin ko ang hari, na hindi ayon sa kautusan: at kung ako'y mamatay ay mamatay.
17 And so Mordecai went, and he did everything that Esther had instructed him.
Sa gayo'y yumaon si Mardocheo at ginawa ang ayon sa lahat na iniutos ni Esther sa kaniya.
