Esther 4
1 But Mardochaeus having perceived what was done, tore his garments, and put on sackcloth, and sprinkled dust upon himself; and having rushed forth through the open street of the city, he cried with a loud voice, A nation that has done no wrong is going to be destroyed.
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 to the king's gate, and stood; for it was not lawful for him to enter into the palace, wearing sackcloth and ashes.
Un viņš nāca priekš ķēniņa vārtiem; jo (pašos) ķēniņa vārtos neviens nevarēja ieiet ar maisu apģērbies.
3 And in every province where the letters were published, [there was] crying and lamentation and great mourning on the part of the Jews: they spread for themselves sackcloth and 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 And the queen's maids and chamberlains went in and told her: and when she had heard what was done, she was disturbed; and she sent to clothe Mardochaeus, and take away his sackcloth; but he consented 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 So Esther called for her chamberlain Achrathaeus, who waited upon her; and she sent to learn the truth from Mardochaeus.
Tad Estere aicināja Ataku, vienu no ķēniņa kambarjunkuriem, kas viņai bija iedots, un viņa pavēlēja Mardakaju izvaicāt, kas un kāpēc tas esot?
Un Ataks izgāja pie Mardakaju uz pilsētas ielu priekš ķēniņa vārtiem.
7 And Mardochaeus showed him what was done, and the promise which Aman had made the king of ten thousand talents [to be paid] into the treasury, that he might destroy the Jews.
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 gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew [it] unto Esther, and to declare [it] unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request 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 Achrathaeus went in and told her all these words.
Tad Ataks nāca un sacīja Esterei Mardakaja vārdus.
10 And Esther said to Achrathaeus, Go to Mardochaeus, and say,
Un Estere sacīja uz Ataku un lika Mardakajam teikt:
11 All the nations of the empire know, that whoever, man or woman, shall go in to the king into the inner court uncalled, that person can’t live: only to whoever the king shall stretch out [his] golden sceptre, he shall live: and I have not been called to go into the king, for these thirty days.
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 Achrathaeus reported to Mardochaeus all the words of Esther.
Un Esteres vārdus atsacīja Mardakajam.
13 Then Mardochaeus said to Achrathaeus, Go, and say to her, Esther, say not to yourself that you alone will escape in the kingdom, more than all the [other] Jews.
Tad Mardakajs Esterei atkal lika sacīt: nedomā savā prātā, ka tu savu dzīvību ķēniņa namā labāki izglābsi nekā tie citi Jūdi.
14 For if you shall refuse to listen on this occasion, help and protection will be to the Jews from another quarter; but you and your father's house will perish: and who knows, if you have been made queen for this [very] occasion?
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 And Esther sent the [man] that came to her to Mardochaeus, saying,
Tad Estere Mardakajam lika sacīt:
16 Go and assemble the Jews that are in Susa, and fast you for me, and eat not and drink not for three days, night and day: and I also and my maidens will fast; and then I will go in to the king contrary to the law, even if I must die.
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 Mardochaeus went and did all that Esther commanded him.
Tad Mardakajs nogāja un darīja visu, ko Estere viņam bija pavēlējusi.
