Esther 4
1 Now when Mordecai perceiued all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackecloth and ashes, and went out into the middes of the citie, and cryed with a great crye, and a bitter.
Kad nu Mardakajs dabūja zināt visu, kas bija noticis, tad Mardakajs saplosīja savas drēbes un apvilka maisu ar pelniem, un gāja pilsētas vidū, un brēca ar lielu un rūgtu brēkšanu.
2 And he came euen before the Kings gate, but he might not enter within the Kings gate, being clothed with sackecloth.
Un viņš nāca priekš ķēniņa vārtiem; jo (pašos) ķēniņa vārtos neviens nevarēja ieiet ar maisu apģērbies.
3 And in euery prouince, and place, whither the Kings charge and his commission came, there was great sorowe among the Iewes, and fasting, and weeping and mourning, and many laye in sackecloth and in ashes.
Un visās valstīs un vietās, kurp ķēniņa vārds un viņa pavēle nonāca, bija lielas bēdas Jūdiem ar gavēšanu un raudāšanu un bēdāšanos, un daudzi gulēja maisos un pelnos.
4 Then Esters maydes and her eunuches came and tolde it her: therefore the Queene was very heauie, and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackecloth from him, but he receiued it not.
Tad Esteres meitas un viņas kambarjunkuri nāca un viņai to stāstīja, un ķēniņiene iztrūcinājās ļoti un viņa sūtīja drēbes, Mardakaju apģērbt un to maisu viņam atņemt, bet viņš tās nepieņēma.
5 Then called Ester Hatach one of the Kings eunuches, whom he had appointed to serue her, and gaue him a commandement vnto Mordecai, to knowe what it was, and why it was.
Tad Estere aicināja Ataku, vienu no ķēniņa kambarjunkuriem, kas viņai bija iedots, un viņa pavēlēja Mardakaju izvaicāt, kas un kāpēc tas esot?
6 So Hatach went foorth to Mordecai vnto the streete of the citie, which was before the Kings gate.
Un Ataks izgāja pie Mardakaju uz pilsētas ielu priekš ķēniņa vārtiem.
7 And Mordecai tolde him of all that which had come vnto him, and of the summe of the siluer that Haman had promised to pay vnto the Kings treasures, because of the Iewes, for to destroy them.
Tad Mardakajs viņam stāstīja visu, kas tam bija noticis, un to nospriesto sudrabu, ko Amans bija solījis ķēniņa mantu namā iesvērt par Jūdiem, ka tie taptu izdeldēti.
8 Also he gaue him the copy of the writing and commission that was giuen at Shushan, to destroy them, that he might shewe it vnto Ester and declare it vnto her, and to charge her that she should goe in to the King, and make petition and supplication before him for her people.
Un viņš tam deva tās rakstītās pavēles norakstu, kas Sūsanā bija dota, ka tie taptu izdeldēti, lai viņš to Esterei rādītu un viņai stāstītu, un viņai pavēlētu, iet pie ķēniņa, viņu piesaukt un lūgt savas tautas dēļ.
9 So when Hatach came, he told Ester the wordes of Mordecai.
Tad Ataks nāca un sacīja Esterei Mardakaja vārdus.
10 Then Ester sayde vnto Hatach, and commanded him to say vnto Mordecai,
Un Estere sacīja uz Ataku un lika Mardakajam teikt:
11 All the Kings seruants and the people of the Kings prouinces doe knowe, that whosoeuer, man or woman, that commeth to the King into the inner court, which is not called, there is a law of his, that he shall dye, except him to whom the King holdeth out the golden rodde, that he may liue. Now I haue not bene called to come vnto the King these thirtie dayes.
Visi ķēniņa kalpi un visi ķēniņa valsts ļaudis zina, ka ikkatrs, vīrs vai sieva, kas pie ķēniņa nāk iekšējā pagalmā, kas nav aicināts, tam nospriests, to nokaut, (bez vien, kad ķēniņš to zelta scepteri viņam piesniedz, ka viņš paliek dzīvs). Bet es neesmu aicināta pie ķēniņa nākt nu jau trīsdesmit dienas.
12 And they certified Mordecai of Esters wordes.
Un Esteres vārdus atsacīja Mardakajam.
13 And Mordecai saide, that they should answere Ester thus, Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the Kings house, more then all the Iewes.
Tad Mardakajs Esterei atkal lika sacīt: nedomā savā prātā, ka tu savu dzīvību ķēniņa namā labāki izglābsi nekā tie citi Jūdi.
14 For if thou holdest thy peace at this time, comfort and deliuerance shall appeare to the Iewes out of another place, but thou and thy fathers house shall perish: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time?
Jo ja tu šinī laikā klusu cietīsi, tad Jūdiem nāks palīdzība un izglābšana no citas vietas, bet tu un tava tēva nams iesiet bojā. Un kas zina, vai tu šī laika labad neesi iecelta par ķēniņieni?
15 Then Ester commanded to answere Mordecai,
Tad Estere Mardakajam lika sacīt:
16 Goe, and assemble all the Iewes that are found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and eate not, nor drinke in three dayes, day nor night. I also and my maydes will fast likewise, and so will I go in to the King, which is not according to the lawe: and if I perish, I perish.
Ej un sapulcē visus Jūdus, kas Sūsanā atrodas, un gavējiet priekš manis un neēdiet, nedz dzeriet trīs dienas, ne dienu ne nakti; es ar savām meitām, mēs tāpat gavēsim, un tā es iešu pie ķēniņa, jebšu tas nav pēc likuma; ja tad jāiet bojā, tad jāiet bojā.
17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Ester had commanded him.
Tad Mardakajs nogāja un darīja visu, ko Estere viņam bija pavēlējusi.
