Esther 2
1 After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of King Ahasuerus, he has remembered Vashti, and that which she did, and that which has been decreed concerning her;
Poslije toga, kad se utiša gnjev cara Asvira, on se opomenu Astine i što je uèinila i što je nareðeno za nju.
2 and servants of the king, his ministers, say, “Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance,
I rekoše momci carevi, sluge njegove: da potraže caru mladijeh djevojaka lijepijeh;
3 and the king appoints inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman—virgin, of good appearance—to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, to the hand of Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications,
I neka odredi car pristave po svijem zemljama carstva svojega da skupe sve djevojke mlade i lijepe u Susan grad carski u ženski dvor pod ruku Igaja dvoranina careva, èuvara ženskoga, i neka im se daju potrebe za ljepotu.
4 and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king reigns instead of Vashti”; and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he does so.
Pa koja djevojka bude po volji caru, neka bude carica na Astinino mjesto. I to bi po volji caru, i uèini tako.
5 A man, a Jew, there has been in Shushan the palace, and his name [is] Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite—
Bijaše u Susanu carskom gradu Judejac po imenu Mardohej, sin Jaira sina Simeja sina Kisova, od plemena Venijaminova,
6 who had been removed from Jerusalem with the expulsion that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed—
Koji bi odveden u ropstvo iz Jerusalima s robljem koje bi odvedeno u ropstvo s Jehonijom carem Judinijem, kojega zarobi Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski.
7 and he is supporting Hadassah—she [is] Esther—daughter of his uncle, for she has neither father nor mother, and the young woman [is] of beautiful form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother Mordecai has taken her to himself for a daughter.
On odgajaše Adasu, a to je Jestira, kæi strica njegova, jer ne imaše oca ni matere; a djevojka bijaše lijepa stasa i krasna lica, i po smrti oca joj i matere uze je Mardohej za kæer.
8 And it comes to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered to Shushan the palace, to the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken to the house of the king, to the hand of Hegai, keeper of the women,
I kad se razglasi rijeè careva i zapovijest, i mnogo se djevojaka skupi u Susan grad carski pod ruku Igajevu, bi i Jestira dovedena u dvor carev pod ruku Igaja èuvara ženskoga.
9 and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receives kindness before him, and he hurries her purifications and her portions—to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided—to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changes her and her young women to a good [place in] the house of the women.
I djevojka mu omilje i naðe milost u njega, te joj odmah dade potrebe za ljepotu i dio njezin, i sedam pristalijeh djevojaka iz carskoga doma, i namjesti je s njezinijem djevojkama na najljepše mjesto u ženskom domu.
10 Esther has not declared her people, and her family, for Mordecai has laid a charge on her that she does not declare [it];
Jestira ne kaza naroda svojega ni roda svojega, jer joj Mardohej bješe zabranio da ne kazuje.
11 and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is done with her.
A Mardohej hodaše svaki dan ispred trijema od ženskoga doma da bi doznao kako je Jestira i što æe biti od nje.
12 And in the drawing near of the turn of each young woman to come in to King Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her—according to the law of the women—twelve months, for so they fulfill the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes, and with the purifications of women,
A kad bi došao red na koju djevojku da uðe k caru Asviru, pošto bi joj se èinilo po ženskom zakonu dvanaest mjeseca jer toliko vremena trebaše da se uljepšavaju, šest mjeseca uljem od smirne a šest mjeseca mirisima i drugim stvarima za ljepotu žensku
13 and with this the young woman has come in to the king, all that she says is given to her to go in with her out of the house of the women to the house of the king;
Tada bi djevojka išla k caru, i što bi god rekla dalo bi joj se da s tijem ide iz ženske kuæe u dom carev.
14 in the evening she has gone in, and in the morning she has turned back to the second house of the women, to the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she does not come in anymore to the king except the king has delighted in her, and she has been called by name.
Uveèe bi ušla, a ujutru bi se vratila u drugu kuæu žensku pod ruku Sazgaza dvoranina careva, èuvara inoèkoga; više ne bi išla k caru, veæ ako bi je htio car, te bi bila pozvana po imenu.
15 And in the drawing near of the turn of Esther—daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to himself for a daughter—to come in to the king, she has not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, says, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing her.
I tako kad doðe red na Jestiru kæer Avihaila strica Mardohejeva, koju bješe uzeo za kæer, da uðe k caru, ona ne zaiska ništa nego što reèe Igaj dvoranin carev, èuvar ženski; i Jestira nalažaše milost u svakoga ko je viðaše.
16 And Esther is taken to King Ahasuerus, to his royal house, in the tenth month—it [is] the month of Tebeth—in the seventh year of his reign,
Tako bi Jestira odvedena k caru Asviru u carski dvor njegov desetoga mjeseca, koje je mjesec Tevet, sedme godine carovanja njegova.
17 and the king loves Esther above all the women, and she receives grace and kindness before him above all the virgins, and he sets a royal crown on her head, and causes her to reign instead of Vashti,
I caru omilje Jestira mimo sve druge žene, i pridobi milost i ljubav njegovu mimo sve djevojke, te joj metnu carski vijenac na glavu i uèini je caricom na mjesto Astinino.
18 and the king makes a great banquet to all his heads and his servants—the banquet of Esther—and has made a release to the provinces, and gives gifts as a memorial of the king.
I uèini car veliku gozbu svijem knezovima svojim i slugama svojim radi Jestire, i pokloni zemljama olakšice i razdade darove kako car može.
19 And in the virgins being gathered a second time, then Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king;
A kad se drugom skupljahu djevojke, Mardohej sjeðaše na vratima carevijem.
20 Esther is not declaring her family and her people, as Mordecai has laid a charge on her, and the saying of Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him.
A Jestira ne kaza svojega roda ni naroda, kao što joj bješe zapovjedio Mardohej, i Jestira èinjaše što joj Mardohej govoraše, kao kad se odgajaše kod njega.
21 In those days, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king, has Bigthan been angry, and Teresh (two of the eunuchs of the king, the keepers of the threshold), and they seek to put forth a hand on King Ahasuerus,
U te dane, kad Mardohej sjeðaše na vratima carevijem, rasrdiše se Vihtan i Teres dva dvoranina careva izmeðu onijeh koji stražahu na pragu, i gledahu da dignu ruke na cara Asvira.
22 and the thing is known to Mordecai, and he declares [it] to Esther the queen, and Esther speaks to the king in the name of Mordecai,
A to dozna Mardohej i javi carici Jestiri, a Jestira kaza caru u ime Mardohejevo.
23 and the thing is sought out, and found, and both of them are hanged on a tree, and it is written in the scroll of the Chronicles before the king.
I kad se stvar izvidje i naðe, biše obješena ona obojica na drvo, i to se zapisa u knjigu dnevnika pred carem.
