< 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.
Pasadas estas cosas, reposada ya la ira del rey Asuero, se acordó de Vasti, y de lo que hizo, y de lo que fue sentenciado sobre ella.
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.
Y dijeron los criados del rey, sus oficiales: Busquen al rey mozas vírgenes de buen parecer;
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.
y ponga el rey personas en todas las provincias de su reino, que junte todas las jóvenes vírgenes de buen parecer en Susa la capital del reino, en la casa de las mujeres, al cuidado de Hegai, eunuco del rey, guarda de las mujeres, dándoles lo que necesitan para su purificación;
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.
y la doncella que agradare a los ojos del rey, reine en lugar de Vasti. Y la cosa agradó en ojos del rey, y lo hizo así.
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.
Había un varón judío en Susa la capital del reino, cuyo nombre era Mardoqueo, hijo de Jair, hijo de Simei, hijo de Cis, del linaje de Benjamín;
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.
el cual había sido trasportado de Jerusalén con los cautivos que fueron llevados con Jeconías rey de Judá, a quien hizo trasportar Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia.
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.
Y había criado a Hadasa, que es Ester, hija de su tío, porque no tenía padre ni madre; y la joven era de hermosa forma y de buen parecer; y como su padre y su madre murieron, Mardoqueo la había tomado por hija suya.
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.
Sucedió, pues, que cuando se divulgó el mandamiento del rey y su ley, y siendo reunidas muchas jovenes en Susa la capital del reino, a cargo de Hegai, fue tomada también Ester para casa del rey, al cuidado de Hegai, guarda de las mujeres.
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.
Y aquella joven agradó en sus ojos, y halló gracia delante de él; por lo que hizo darle prestamente lo necesario para su purificación y sus raciones, dándole también siete convenientes doncellas de la casa del rey; y la pasó con sus doncellas a lo mejor de la casa de las mujeres.
10 Not she had told Esther people her and kindred her for Mordecai he had commanded to her that not she will tell.
Ester no declaró su pueblo ni su nacimiento; porque Mardoqueo le había mandado que no lo declarase.
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.
Y cada día Mardoqueo se paseaba delante del patio de la casa de las mujeres, por saber la paz de Ester, y qué se hacía de ella.
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.
Y cuando llegaba el tiempo de cada una de las jovenes para venir al rey Asuero, al cabo de haber estado ya doce meses conforme a la ley acerca de las mujeres (porque así se cumplía el tiempo de sus purificaciones, esto es, seis meses con óleo de mirra, y seis meses con cosas aromáticas y aceites de mujeres),
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.
entonces la joven venía así al rey; todo lo que ella decía se le daba, para venir con ello de la casa de las mujeres hasta la casa del rey.
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.
Ella venía a la tarde, y a la mañana se volvía a la casa segunda de las mujeres, al cargo de Saasgaz eunuco del rey, guarda de las concubinas; no venía más al rey, salvo si el rey la quería, y era llamada por nombre.
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.
Y cuando le llegó el tiempo de Ester, hija de Abihail tío de Mardoqueo, que él se había tomado por hija, para venir al rey, ninguna cosa procuró sino lo que dijo Hegai eunuco del rey, guarda de las mujeres; y ganaba Ester la gracia de todos los que la veían.
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.
Fue, pues, Ester llevada al rey Asuero a su casa real en el mes décimo, que es el mes de Tebet, en el año séptimo de su reinado.
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.
Y el rey amó a Ester sobre todas las mujeres, y halló gracia y misericordia delante de él más que todas las vírgenes; y puso la corona del reino en su cabeza, y la hizo reina en lugar de 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.
Hizo luego el rey un gran banquete a todos sus príncipes y siervos, el banquete de Ester; y reposó a las provincias de sus impuestos, e hizo y dio mercedes conforme a la facultad real.
19 And when were gathered virgins a second [time] and Mordecai [was] sitting at [the] gate of the king.
Y cuando eran juntadas las vírgenes la segunda vez, Mardoqueo estaba sentado a la puerta del rey.
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.
Y Ester, según le tenía mandado Mardoqueo, no había declarado su nación ni su pueblo; porque Ester hacía lo que decía Mardoqueo, como cuando estaba en crianza con él.
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.
En aquellos días, estando Mardoqueo sentado a la puerta del rey, se enojaron Bigtán y Teres, dos eunucos del rey, de la guardia de la puerta, y procuraban poner mano en el rey Asuero.
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.
Y la cosa fue entendida por Mardoqueo, y él lo denunció a la reina Ester, y Ester lo dijo al rey en nombre de Mardoqueo.
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.
Y fue inquirida la cosa, y fue hallada cierta; y ambos ellos fueron colgados en la horca; y fue escrito en el libro de las cosas de los tiempos delante del rey.
