< Esther 2 >

1 After the things these when subsided [the] anger of the king Ahasuerus he remembered Vashti and [that] which she had done and [that] which it had been decreed on her.
Ty věci když se zběhly, a když se upokojila prchlivost krále Asvera, zpomenul na Vasti a na to, což byla učinila, též i na to, jaká se výpověd stala proti ní.
2 And they said [the] young men of the king [who were] serving him let people seek for the king young women virgins good of appearance.
I řekli mládenci královští, služebníci jeho: Nechť hledají králi mladic, panen krásných.
3 And let him appoint the king appointees in all [the] provinces of kingdom his and let them gather every girl virgin good of appearance to Susa the citadel to [the] house of the women into [the] hand of Hegai [the] eunuch of the king [the] keeper of the women and let him give rubbings their.
A nechť zřídí král úředníky ve všech krajinách království svého, kteříž by shromáždili všecky mladice, panny krásné, do Susan města královského, do domu ženského, pod stráž Hegai komorníka královského, strážce žen, a ať jim vydává okrasy jejich.
4 And the young woman who she will be good in [the] eyes of the king she will reign in place of Vashti and it was good the word in [the] eyes of the king and he did thus.
A mladice, kteráž by se zalíbila králi, aby kralovala místo Vasti. I líbila se ta věc králi, a učinil tak.
5 A man Jewish he was in Susa the citadel and name his [was] Mordecai [the] son of Jair [the] son of Shimei [the] son of Kish a man a Jaminite.
Byl pak jeden Žid v Susan, městě královském, jménem Mardocheus syn Jairův, syna Simei, syna Cis, z pokolení Beniamin.
6 Who he had been taken into exile from Jerusalem with the exile[s] which it had been taken into exile with Jeconiah [the] king of Judah whom he had taken into exile Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon.
A ten byl přestěhován z Jeruzaléma s přestěhovanými, kteříž přestěhováni byli s Jekoniášem králem Judským, kteréhož přestěhoval Nabuchodonozor král Babylonský.
7 And he was raising Hadassah that [is] Esther [the] daughter of uncle his for not [belonged] to her a father and a mother and the young woman [was] beautiful of shape and good of appearance and at [the] death of father her and mother her he took her Mordecai of him to a daughter.
Ten choval Hadassu, jinak Esteru, dceru strýce svého, proto že neměla otce ani matky. A děvečka ta byla pěkné postavy a krásné tváři, kterouž po smrti otce a matky její vzal sobě Mardocheus za dceru.
8 And it was when were heard [the] edict of the king and orders his and when were gathered young women many to Susa the citadel into [the] hand of Hegai and she was taken Esther to [the] house of the king into [the] hand of Hegai [the] keeper of the women.
Stalo se tedy, když vyšlo slovo královské a rozkaz jeho, a když shromážďováno bylo panen mnoho do Susan, města královského, pod stráž Hegai, že i Ester vzata byla do domu královského pod stráž Hegai, strážného nad ženami.
9 And she was good the young woman in view his and she bore favor before him and he hastened rubbings her and portions her to give to her and [the] seven the servant girls chosen to give to her from [the] house of the king and he moved her and servant girls her to [the] good [place] of [the] house of the women.
I líbila se jemu ta mladice, a našla milost u něho. Pročež i hned dal jí okrasu její a díl její, a sedm panen způsobných z domu královského; k tomu opatření její i jejích panen proměnil v lepší v domě ženském.
10 Not she had told Esther people her and kindred her for Mordecai he had commanded to her that not she will tell.
Neoznámila pak Ester lidu svého, ani rodiny své; nebo přikázal jí byl Mardocheus, aby nepravila.
11 And on every day and day Mordecai [was] walking back and forth to front of [the] court of [the] house of the women to know [the] welfare of Esther and what? was it done with her.
Ale Mardocheus každého dne chodíval před síní domu ženského, aby zvěděl, jak se má Ester, a co se s ní děje.
12 And when arrived [the] turn of a young woman and a young woman to go - to the king Ahasuerus from [the] end to be for her according to [the] regulation of the women two [plus] ten month[s] for thus they were completed [the] days of rubbings their six months with [the] oil of myrrh and six months with balsam oil and with [the] rubbings of women.
Když pak přišel jistý čas jedné každé panny, aby vešla před krále Asvera, když se vyplnilo při ní podlé práva žen, za dvanácte měsíců, (nebo za tolik dnů ozdobovaly se, šest měsíců olejem mirrovým, a šest měsíců věcmi vonnými a ozdobami ženskými),
13 And in this [way] the young woman [was] going into the king all that she said it was given to her to go with her from [the] house of the women to [the] house of the king.
A tak přicházela panna před krále. Cožkoli řekla, dávalo se jí, aby s tím šla z domu žen až k domu královskému.
14 In the evening - she [was] going and in the morning she [was] returning to [the] house of the women second in [the] hand of Shaashgaz [the] eunuch of the king [the] keeper of the concubines not she went again into the king that except he delighted in her the king and she was summoned by name.
U večer vcházela k králi, a ráno zase odcházela do druhého domu ženského, pod stráž Saasgazy, komorníka královského, strážce ženin. Nepřicházela více k králi, ale jestliže se líbila králi, povolána bývala ze jména.
15 And when arrived [the] turn of Esther [the] daughter of Abihail [the] uncle of Mordecai whom he had taken of him to a daughter to go to the king not she requested anything that except [that] which he said Hegai [the] eunuch of the king [the] keeper of the women and she was Esther bearing favor in [the] eyes of all [those who] saw her.
Tedy když přišel čas jistý Estery, dcery Abichaile, strýce Mardocheova, kterouž byl vzal sobě za dceru, aby vešla k králi, nežádala ničeho, než což řekl Hegai komorník královský, strážce žen. I líbila se Ester všechněm, kteříž ji viděli.
16 And she was taken Esther to the king Ahasuerus into [the] house of royalty his in the month tenth that [is] [the] month of Tebeth in year seven of reign his.
A tak vzata jest Ester k králi Asverovi do domu jeho královského, měsíce desátého, (jenž jest měsíc Tebet), léta sedmého kralování jeho.
17 And he loved the king Esther more than all the women and she bore favor and favor before him more than all the virgins and he put a crown of royalty on head her and he made queen her in place of Vashti.
I zamiloval král Ester nade všecky jiné ženy, a nalezla milost a lásku u něho nade všecky panny, tak že vstavil korunu královskou na hlavu její, a učinil ji královnou místo Vasti.
18 And he made the king a feast great for all officials his and servants his [the] feast of Esther and a holiday for the provinces he made and he gave tribute according to [the] hand of the king.
K tomu také učinil král hody veliké všechněm knížatům svým a služebníkům svým, totiž hody Estery, a dal odpočinutí krajinám, a daroval je tak, jakž slušelo na krále.
19 And when were gathered virgins a second [time] and Mordecai [was] sitting at [the] gate of the king.
A když podruhé shromažďovány byly panny, a Mardocheus seděl u brány královské,
20 Not Esther [was] telling kindred her and people her just as he had commanded to her Mordecai and [the] command of Mordecai Esther [was] doing just as she had done in guardianship with him.
Ester pak neoznámila byla rodiny své a národu svého, jakž jí byl přikázal Mardocheus; nebo rozkázaní Mardocheovo Ester činila, jako i když chována byla u něho:
21 In the days those and Mordecai [was] sitting at [the] gate of the king he was angry Bigthan and Teresh two of [the] eunuchs of the king from [the] guards of the threshold and they sought to stretch out a hand on the king Ahasuerus.
V těch dnech, (když Mardocheus sedal u brány královské), rozhněval se Bigtan a Teres, dva komorníci královští z strážných prahu, a smýšleli o to, aby vztáhli ruce na krále Asvera.
22 And it was made known the matter to Mordecai and he told to Esther the queen and she spoke Esther to the king in [the] name of Mordecai.
Čehož dověděv se Mardocheus, oznámil to Ester královně, Ester pak oznámila králi jménem Mardocheovým.
23 And it was sought the matter and it was found and they were hanged [the] two of them on a gallows and it was written in [the] book of [the] matters of the days before the king.
A když bylo toho vyhledáváno, našlo se tak. I oběšeni jsou ti oba na šibenici, a zapsáno jest to do kronik před králem.
