Esther 4
1 Now when Mardochai had heard these things, he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, strewing ashes on his head: and he cried with a loud voice in the street in the midst of the city, shewing the anguish of his mind.
Idi naammoan amin ni Mardokeo ti naaramid, rinay-abna ti pagan-anayna ket nagkawes iti nakirsang a lupot ken nagikabil kadagiti dapo. Napan isuna iti tengnga ti siudad, ket naganug-og isuna iti napigsa ken nasaem.
2 And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king’s court.
Nagpatingga laeng isuna iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari, gapu ta awan ti mapalubusan nga sumrek a nakakawes iti nakirsang a lupot.
3 And in all provinces, towns, and places, to which the king’s cruel edict was come, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, wailing, and weeping, many using sackcloth and ashes for their bed.
Kadagiti amin a probinsia a nakadanunan ti bilin ken linteg ti ari, adda iti kasta unay a panagladingit kadagiti Judio, a nabuyogan iti panagayunar, panagsangit, ken panagladingit. Adu kadakuada iti nagidda iti nakirsang a lupot ken kadagiti dapo.
4 Then Esther’s maids and her eunuchs went in, and told her. And when she heard it she was in a consternation: and she sent a garment, to clothe him, and to take away the sackcloth: but he would not receive it.
Idi napan dagiti babbalasitang ken dagiti adipen ni Ester nga imbaga kenkuana, nagledaang ti reyna. Nangipatulod isuna iti lupot a pagkawes ni Mardokeo (tapno ussobenna ti nakirsang a lupot), ngem saanna nga inawat dagitoy.
5 And she called for Athach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to attend upon her, and she commanded him to go to Mardochai, and learn of him why he did this.
Ket pinaayaban ni Ester ni Hatak, maysa kadagiti opisial ti ari, a nadutokan nga agserbi kenkuana. Binilinna isuna a mapan kenni Mardokeo tapno ammoenna ti napasamak ken no ania ti kayatna a sawen iti ar-aramidenna.
6 And Athach going out went to Mardochai, who was standing in the street of the city, before the palace gate:
Napan ngarud ni Hatak iti ayan ni Mardokeo iti plasa iti siudad iti sangoanan iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari.
7 And Mardochai told him all that had happened, how Aman had promised to pay money into the king’s treasures, to have the Jews destroyed.
Impadamag ni Mardokeo kenkuana amin a napasamak kenkuana, ken no mano ti bilang ti pirak nga ingkari ni Haman a maikilo ken maikabil iti pagiduldulinan iti kinabaknang ti ari tapno maibilin a mapapatay dagiti Judio.
8 He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to entreat him for her people.
Nangted pay ni Mardokeo kenni Hatak iti kopya ti bilin a naited iti Susa para iti pannakadadael dagiti Judio. Inaramidna daytoy tapno ipakita ni Hatak daytoy kenni Ester, ken tapno maitedna kenni Ester ti pagrebbengan a mapan iti ari tapno agkiddaw iti paborna, ken makipagpakpakaasi kenkuana para kadagiti tattaona.
9 And Athach went back and told Esther all that Mardochai had said.
Napan ngarud ni Hatak ken imbagana kenni Ester ti imbaga ni Mardokeo.
10 She answered him, and bade him say to Mardochai:
Kalpasanna nakisarita ni Ester kenni Hatak ket imbagana nga agsubli isuna kenni Mardokeo.
11 All the king’s servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king’s inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him?
Kinuna ni Ester, “Amin dagiti adipen ken dagiti tattao kadagiti probinsia ti ari ket ammoda a siasinoman a lalaki wenno babai iti mapan iti akin uneg a paraangan ti ari a saan a napaayaban, adda iti maymaysa laeng a linteg: a masapul a mapapatay isuna-malaksid iti siasinoman a pangiturungan ti ari ti balitok a setro tapno agbiag dayta a tao. Saanak a napaayaban a mapan iti ayan ti ari kadagitoy tallo-pulo nga aldaw.”
12 And when Mardochai had heard this,
Isu nga impadamag ni Hatak kenni Mardokeo dagiti imbaga ni Ester.
13 He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because thou art in the king a house, more than all the Jews:
Sinungbatan ni Mardokeo daytoy a mensahe: “Saanmo a panunoten nga iti palasio ti ari, ket makalibaskanto ngem kadagiti dadduma a Judio.
14 For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father’s house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this?
No agtalinaedka a naulimek kadagitoy a tiempo, aggapu iti sabali a lugar ti tulong ken panangispal kadagiti Judio, ngem sika ken ti balay ni amam ket mapukawto. Siasino ti makaammo a nalabit a naitan-okka a reyna para iti kastoy a gundaway?”
15 And again Esther sent to Mardochai in these words:
Kalapasanna, impatulod ni Ester daytoy a mensahe kenni Mardokeo,
16 Go, and gather together all the Jews whom thou shalt find in Susan, and pray ye for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights: and I with my handmaids will fast in like manner, and then I will go in to the king, against the law, not being called, and expose myself to death and to danger.
“Mapanka, ummongem dagiti amin a Judio nga agnanaed iti Susa, ket agayunarkayo para kaniak. Saankayo a mangan wenno uminum iti tallo nga aldaw, ti rabii wenno aldaw. Dagiti babbalasitangko ken siak ket agayunar iti isu met laeng a wagas. Ket mapanakto iti ayan ti ari, uray no maibusor daytoy iti linteg. Ket no mapukawak, mapukawak.”
17 So Mardochai went, and did all that Esther had commanded him.
Napan ni Mardokeo ket inaramidna amin nga imbaga ni Ester nga aramidenna.
