< Esther 4 >

1 When, Mordecai, came to know all that had been done, Mordecai rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, and ashes, —and went forth into the midst of the city, and cried out with an outcry loud and bitter;
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 went in as far as before the gate of the king, —for, none, might enter into the gate of the king, clothed with sackcloth.
Nagpatingga laeng isuna iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari, gapu ta awan ti mapalubusan nga sumrek a nakakawes iti nakirsang a lupot.
3 And, throughout every province, whithersoever the word of the king and his edict came, was great mourning to the Jews, and fasting and weeping, and lamentation, —sackcloth and ashes, were spread out for many.
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 So the maidens of Esther and her eunuchs went in and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish, —and sent garments to clothe Mordecai, and to remove his sackcloth from off him, but he accepted them not.
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 Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the eunuchs of the king whom he had stationed before her, and charged him, concerning Mordecai, —to get to know what this was, and why this was.
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 So Hathach went forth unto Mordecai, —in the broadway of the city, which was before the gate of the king.
Napan ngarud ni Hatak iti ayan ni Mardokeo iti plasa iti siudad iti sangoanan iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari.
7 And Mordecai told him all that had befallen him, —and an exact statement of the silver, that Haman had promised to weigh out unto the treasuries of the king, for the Jews, to destroy them.
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 Also, a copy of the writing of the edict which had been given in Shusan to destroy them, gave he unto him, to shew unto Esther, and to tell her, —and to lay charge upon her, to go in unto the king—to make supplication unto him, and to make request before 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 Hathach came in and told Esther, the words of Mordecai.
Napan ngarud ni Hatak ken imbagana kenni Ester ti imbaga ni Mardokeo.
10 Then spake Esther unto Hathach, —and gave him charge, unto Mordecai: —
Kalpasanna nakisarita ni Ester kenni Hatak ket imbagana nga agsubli isuna kenni Mardokeo.
11 All the servants of the king, and the people of the provinces of the king, do know, that, whatsoever man or woman shall go in unto the king—into the inter court—who hath not been called, one, is his law, to put him to death, saving any to whom the king may hold out the golden sceptre, who then shall live, —but, I, have not been called to go in unto the king, these thirty days.
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 they told Mordecai, the words of Esther.
Isu nga impadamag ni Hatak kenni Mardokeo dagiti imbaga ni Ester.
13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, —Do not think in thine own soul, to escape in the house of the king from among 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 But, if thou, do indeed hold thy peace, at this time, respite and deliverance, will be appointed for the Jews, from another place, but, thou, and thy father’s house, will perish, —and who knoweth whether, for a time such as this, thou hast attained unto the royal estate?
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 Then Esther commanded, to answer Mordecai: —
Kalapasanna, impatulod ni Ester daytoy a mensahe kenni Mardokeo,
16 Go! gather ye together all the Jews who are to be found in Shusan, and fast ye for me—and neither eat nor drink—three days, night nor day, and, I and my maidens, will fast so, —and, in this manner, will I go in unto the king, though it is not according to the law, and, when I have perished, I have perished!
“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 Mordecai departed, —and did according to all that Esther had charged upon him.
Napan ni Mardokeo ket inaramidna amin nga imbaga ni Ester nga aramidenna.
