Esther 4
1 And whanne Mardochee hadde herd these thingis, he to-rente hise clothis, and he was clothid in a sak, and spreynt aische on the heed, and he criede with greet vois in the street of the myddis of the citee, and schewide the bitternesse of his soule,
A Mardohej doznav sve šta bi, razdrije haljine svoje i obuèe se u kostrijet i posu se pepelom i poðe po gradu vièuæi iza glasa gorko.
2 and he yede with this yellyng `til to the yatis of the paleis; for it was not leueful a man clothid with a sak to entre in to the halle of the kyng.
I doðe do pred vrata careva, jer ne bješe slobodno uæi na vrata careva u kostrijeti.
3 Also in alle prouynces, citees, and places, to which the cruel sentence of the king was comun, was greet weilyng, fastyng, yellyng, and wepyng anentis the Jewis, and many Jewis vsiden sak and aische for bed.
I u svijem zemljama, u koje god mjesto doðe rijeè careva i zapovijest njegova, bi velika žalost meðu Jevrejima i post i plaè i jauk, i mnogi u kostrijeti i pepelu ležahu.
4 Sotheli the dameselis and onest seruauntis and chast of Hester entriden, and telden to hir; which thing sche herde, and was astonyed; and sche sente a cloth to Mardochee, that whanne the sak was takun a wei, he schulde clothe hym therynne; which cloth he nolde take.
I doðoše djevojke Jestirine i dvorani njezini, i javiše joj: i carica se ožalosti veoma, i posla haljine da preobuku Mardoheja i da skinu s njega kostrijet; ali on ne primi.
5 And aftir that Athac, the onest seruaunt and chast, `was clepid, whom the kyng hadde youe a mynystre to hir, sche comaundide, that he schulde go to Mardochee, and lerne of hym, whi he dide this thing.
Tada dozva Jestira Ataha dvoranina careva, kojega joj bješe dao da joj služi, i zapovjedi mu za Mardoheja da razbere šta mu je i zašto.
6 And Athac yede out, and yede to Mardochee stondynge in the street of the citee, bifor the dore of the paleis;
I otide Atah k Mardoheju na ulicu gradsku koja bijaše pred vratima carevijem.
7 which schewide to Athac alle thingis that bifelden, hou Aaman hadde bihiyt to bryng siluer in to tresours of the kyng for the deeth of Jewis.
I Mardohej mu kaza sve što mu se dogodilo i za srebro što je obrekao Aman dati u carevu riznicu za Judejce da ih istrijebi;
8 Also he yaf to Athac the copie of the comaundement, that hangide in Susa, to schewe to the queen, and to moneste hir for to entre to the kyng, and to biseche hym for hir puple.
I prijepis od zapovijesti koja bi proglašena u Susanu da se istrijebe, dade mu da je pokaže Jestiri i javi, i da joj naruèi da otide k caru i da ga umilostivi i da ga moli za svoj narod.
9 And Athac yede ayen, and telde to Hester alle thingis, whiche Mardochee hadde seid.
I vrativši se Atah kaza Jestiri rijeèi Mardohejeve.
10 And sche answeryde to hym, and seide, that he schulde seie to Mardochee, Alle the seruauntis of the kyng,
A Jestira reèe Atahu i zapovjedi mu da kaže Mardoheju:
11 and alle prouyncis that ben vndur his lordschip, knowen, that whether a man ether a womman not clepid entrith in to the ynnere halle of the kyng, he schal be slayn anoon with outen ony tariyng, no but in hap the kyng holdith forth the goldun yerde `to hym for `the signe of merci, and he mai lyue so; therfor hou mai Y entre to the kyng, which am not clepid to hym now bi thritti daies?
Znaju sve sluge careve i narod po zemljama carevijem da ko bi god, èovjek ili žena, ušao k caru unutra u dvor ne buduæi pozvan, jedan je zakon za nj, da se pogubi, osim kome bi car pružio zlatnu palicu, taj ostaje živ; a ja nijesam zvana da uðem k caru, ovo je trideset dana.
12 And whanne Mardochee hadde herd `this thing, he sente efte to Hester,
I kazane biše Mardoheju rijeèi Jestirine.
13 and seide, Gesse thou not, that thou schalt delyuer oonli thi lijf, for thou art in the hows of the kyng, bifor alle Jewis;
A Mardohej opet poruèi Jestiri: nemoj misliti da æeš se mimo sve Judejce izbaviti u domu carevu.
14 for if thou art stille now, Jewis schulen be delyuered bi another occasioun, and thou and the hows of thi fadir schulen perische; and who knowith, whether herfor thou camist to the rewme, that thou schuldist be maad redi in sich a tyme?
Jer ako ti uzmuèiš sada, doæi æe pomoæ i izbavljenje Judejcima s druge strane, a ti i dom oca tvojega poginuæete; i ko zna nijesi li za ovako vrijeme došla do carstva.
15 And eft Hester sente these wordis to Mardochee,
Tada reèe Jestira da odgovore Mardoheju:
16 Go thou, and gadere togidere alle Jewis, whiche thou fyndist in Susa, and preie ye for me; ete ye not, nether drynke ye in thre daies and thre nyytis, and Y with myn handmaydis schal fast in lijk maner; and thanne Y not clepid schal entre to the kyng, and Y schal do ayens the lawe, and Y schal bitake me to deth and to perel.
Idi, skupi sve Judejce što se nalaze u Susanu, i postite za me, i ne jedite ni pijte za tri dana ni danju ni noæu; i ja æu sa svojim djevojkama postiti takoðer, pa æu onda otiæi k caru, ako i nije po zakonu, i ako poginem, neka poginem.
17 Therfor Mardochee yede, and dide alle thingis, whiche Hester hadde comaundid to hym.
Tada otide Mardohej i uèini sve kako mu zapovjedi Jestira.
