Esther 4
1 When Mordecai ascertained all that had been done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth [strewed] with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and bitter cry;
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 thus he came up to the front of the king's gate; for none dared to enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
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 And in each and every province, in every place whither the king's decree and his law had reached, there was great mourning for the Jews, with fasting and weeping and wailing; and a sackcloth [strewed] with ashes became the bed of the great.
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 came the maidens of Esther with her chamberlains and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly terrified; and she sent garments to clothe Mordecai, and to remove his sackcloth from him, but he accepted them not.
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 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a charge for Mordecai to know what this was, and why this was.
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 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
Sa gayo'y nilabas nga ni Atach si Mardocheo, sa luwal na dako ng bayan, na nasa harap ng pintuang-daan ng hari.
7 And Mordecai told him all that had happened unto him, and of the fixed sum of money which Haman had promised to weigh out into the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them.
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 the copy of the writing of the law that had been given out in Shushan to destroy them he gave to him, to show it unto Esther, and to tell her [all], and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, and to make supplication unto him, and to present a request before him for 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 Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
At si Atach ay naparoon, at isinaysay kay Esther ang mga salita ni Mardocheo.
10 And Esther said unto Hatach, and gave him a charge unto Mordecai,
Nang magkagayo'y nagsalita si Esther kay Atach, at nagpasabi kay Mardocheo, na sinasabi,
11 All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that every one, whether man or woman, who should come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is but one law for him, to put him to death, except the one to whom the king should hold out the golden sceptre, for he will be suffered to live; but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
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 they told Mordecai the words of Esther.
At isinaysay nila kay Mardocheo ang mga salita ni Esther.
13 Then said Mordecai to bring this answer back to Esther, Imagine not in thy soul to be able to escape in the king's house out of 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 thou do indeed maintain silence at this time, enlargement and deliverance will arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house will perish: and who knoweth whether thou hast not for a time like this attained to the royal dignity?
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 Then said Esther to bring this answer back to Mordecai,
Nang magkagayo'y nagpabalik ng sagot si Esther kay Mardocheo:
16 Go, assemble together all the Jews who are now present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, so that ye neither eat nor drink three days, either night or day; also I myself with my maidens will fast in like manner; and then will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I then perish, I perish.
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 Mordecai went about, and did in accordance with all that Esther had charged him.
Sa gayo'y yumaon si Mardocheo at ginawa ang ayon sa lahat na iniutos ni Esther sa kaniya.
