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.
Efter disse Begivenheder, der Kong Ahasverus's Harme var stillet, kom han Vasthi i Hu, og hvad hun havde gjort, og hvad der var besluttet over hende.
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.
Da sagde Kongens Folk, som tjente ham: Man oplede til Kongen unge Jomfruer, dejlige af Anseelse,
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.
og Kongen beskikke Befalingsmænd i alle sit Riges Landskaber, at de samle alle unge Jomfruer, som ere dejlige af Anseelse, til Borgen Susan, til Kvindernes Hus, under Hegajs, Kongens Kammertjeners, Haand, som tager Vare paa Kvinderne, og man give dem de Ting, som høre til deres Renselse;
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.
og den unge Pige, som synes at være god for Kongens Øjne, hun vorde Dronning i Vasthis Sted! Og dette Ord syntes godt for Kongens Øjne, og han gjorde saa.
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.
Der var en jødisk Mand i Borgen Susan, hvis Navn var Mardokaj, en Søn af Jair, der var en Søn af Simei, en Søn af Kis, en benjaminitisk Mand,
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.
som var bortført fra Jerusalem med de Fanger, som bleve bortførte med Jekonia, Judas Konge, hvem Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, lod bortføre.
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.
Og han var Fosterfader til Hadassa, det er Esther, hans Farbroders Datter, thi hun havde hverken Fader eller Moder; og den unge Pige var skøn af Skikkelse og dejlig af Anseelse, og der hendes Fader og hendes Moder døde, da tog Mardokaj hende til sig som Datter.
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.
Og det skete, der Kongens Ord og hans Bud bleve hørt, og der mange unge Piger bleve samlede til Borgen Susan under Hegajs Haand, blev og Esther tagen til Kongens Hus, under Hegajs Haand, som tog Vare paa Kvinderne.
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.
Og den unge Pige syntes god for hans Øjne og fik Yndest for hans Ansigt; derfor hastede han med at give hende de Ting, som hørte til hendes Renselse, og de Maaltider, hun skulde have, og med at give hende de syv udsete Piger af Kongens Hus, og han lod hende med hendes Piger flytte til det bedste Sted i Kvindernes Hus.
10 Not she had told Esther people her and kindred her for Mordecai he had commanded to her that not she will tell.
Esther havde ikke givet sit Folk og sin Slægt til Kende; thi Mardokaj havde befalet hende, at hun ikke skulde give det til Kende.
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.
Og Mardokaj gik daglig foran Forgaarden ved Kvindernes Hus for at faa at vide, om det gik Esther vel, og hvad der skulde ske med hende.
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.
Og naar Raden kom for hver Pige, at hun skulde gaa ind til Kong Ahasverus, efter at der i tolv Maaneder var sket med hende efter Forskriften angaaende Kvinderne — thi saa lang Tid medgaar der til deres Renselse, nemlig seks Maaneder med Olie af Myrra, og seks Maaneder med kostelige Urter og andre Ting, som høre til Kvindernes Renselse —
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.
naar da den unge Pige gik ind til Kongen, blev alt, hvad hun sagde, givet hende, at hun dermed gik fra Kvindernes Hus ind i Kongens Hus.
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.
Hun gik ind om Aftenen, og om Morgenen gik hun tilbage til Kvindernes andet Hus under Saasgas, Kongens Kammertjeners, Haand, hans, som tog Vare paa Medhustruerne; hun maatte ikke komme mere til Kongen, uden Kongen havde Lyst til hende, og hun blev kaldet ved Navn.
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.
Og der Raden kom til Esther, Abihajls, Mardokajs Farbroders, Datter, som denne havde taget til sig som Datter, at hun skulde gaa ind til Kongen, da krævede hun ingen Ting, uden hvad Hegaj, Kongens Kammertjener, som tog Vare paa Kvinderne, sagde; og Esther fandt Naade for alles Øjne, som saa hende.
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.
Og Esther blev tagen til Kong Ahasverus til hans kongelige Hus i den tiende Maaned, det er Thebet Maaned, i hans Regerings syvende Aar.
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.
Og Kongen elskede Esther fremfor alle Kvinderne, og hun fik Naade og Miskundhed for hans Ansigt fremfor alle Jomfruerne, og han satte den kongelige Krone paa hendes Hoved og gjorde hende til Dronning i Vasthis Sted.
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.
Og Kongen gjorde alle sine Fyrster og sine Tjenere et stort Gæstebud, det var Esthers Gæstebud, og han skænkede Landskaberne Hvile og uddelte Gaver efter Kongens Formue.
19 And when were gathered virgins a second [time] and Mordecai [was] sitting at [the] gate of the king.
Og der Jomfruerne samledes anden Gang, og Mardokaj sad i Kongens Port —
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.
Esther havde ikke givet sin Slægt, ej heller sit Folk til Kende, ligesom Mardokaj havde befalet hende; thi Esther gjorde efter Mardokajs Ord, ligesom da hun blev opfødt hos ham —
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.
i de samme Dage, som Mardokaj sad i Kongens Port, bleve to af Kongens Kammertjenere, Bigtan og Theres, af dem, som holdt Vagt ved Dørtærskelen, vrede og søgte at lægge Haand paa Kong Ahasverus.
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.
Og den Sag blev bekendt for Mardokaj, og han gav Dronning Esther den til Kende, og Esther sagde Kongen det i Mardokajs Navn.
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.
Og Sagen blev undersøgt og funden rigtig, og de bleve begge hængte paa et Træ, og det blev skrevet i Krønikebogen for Kongens Ansigt.
