Esteres 2
1 Pēc tam, kad ķēniņa Ahasverus bardzība bija nostājusies, tad viņš pieminēja Vasti, un ko tā bija darījusi, un kas par viņu bija nospriests.
After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was assuaged, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 Tad ķēniņa jaunekļi, kas viņam kalpoja, sacīja: lai ķēniņam meklē jaunas jumpravas skaistu vaigu.
Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him: 'Let there be sought for the king young virgins fair to look on;
3 Un lai ķēniņš ieceļ uzraugus visās savās valsts tiesās, ka tie sapulcē visas jaunās jumpravas skaistu vaigu uz Sūsanas pili, uz to sievu namu, apakš Egajus, ķēniņa kambarjunkura, tā sievu sarga, un lai pie tām notiek mazgāšana un svaidīšana.
and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the castle, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their ointments be given them;
4 Un kura jauna meita ķēniņam labi patiks, tā lai top par ķēniņieni Vastis vietā. Un tas vārds patika ķēniņam un viņš tā darīja.
and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti.' And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
5 Un viens Jūdu vīrs bija Sūsanas pilī, vārdā Mardakajs, tas bija Jaīra, tas Šimejus, tas Ķisa dēls, Benjaminietis;
There was a certain Jew in Shushan the castle, whose name was Mordecai the son of Jair the son of Shimei the son of Kish, a Benjamite,
6 Tas bija aizvests no Jeruzālemes līdz ar tiem, kas tapa aizvesti ar Jekaniju, Jūda ķēniņu, ko NebukadNecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija aizvedis.
who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
7 Un viņš bija Adasas audžu tēvs, tā ir Estere, viņa brālēna meita, jo viņai nebija ne tēva ne mātes. Un viņa bija jauna meita daiļu augumu un skaistu vaigu. Un kad viņas tēvs un viņas māte nomira, tad Mardakajs viņu bija pieņēmis par meitu.
And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was of beautiful form and fair to look on; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
8 Kad nu ķēniņa vārds un viņa pavēle izpaudās un daudz jaunas meitas tika savestas Sūsanas pilī apakš Egajus rokas, tad Estere arī tapa ņemta ķēniņa namā, apakš Egajus, tā sievu sarga, rokas.
So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was published, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the castle, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
9 Un tā meita viņam patika un atrada žēlastību viņa priekšā, un viņš steidzās tai dot tās svaidāmās zāles priekš mazgāšanās un viņas daļu, un viņš tai deva septiņas daiļas jaunas meitas no ķēniņa nama, un viņš to noveda ar viņas meitām tai vislabākā vietā sievu namā.
And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her ointments, with her portions, and the seven maidens, who were meet to be given her out of the king's house; and he advanced her and her maidens to the best place in the house of the women.
10 Bet Estere nebija teikusi nedz savus ļaudis nedz savus radus, jo Mardakajs viņai bija piekodinājis, lai tā to neteicot.
Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not tell it.
11 Un Mardakajs staigāja ikdienas gar sievu nama pagalmu, lai dabūtu zināt, kā Esterei klājās un kas ar to būšot.
And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.
12 Kad nu ikvienas jaunietes reize atnāca iet pie ķēniņa Ahasverus, kad pēc sievu likuma ar to bija darīts divpadsmit mēnešus, (jo tik daudz laika pagāja viņu mazgāšanai un svaidīšanai, proti sešus mēnešus ar mirru eļļu un sešus mēnešus ar balzamu un citām sievu zālēm), -
Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women, twelve months — for so were the days of their anointing accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six month with sweet odours, and with other ointments of the women —
13 Tad tā jauniete nāca pie ķēniņa, un ko viņa prasīja, to viņai deva, ka viņa ar to ietu no sievu nama uz ķēniņa namu.
when then the maiden came unto the king, whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
14 Vakarā viņa iegāja un rītā viņa gāja atpakaļ uz otru sievu namu, apakš Zaāzgas, ķēniņa kambarjunkura, lieko sievu sarga; viņa negāja atkal pie ķēniņa, kā vien, kad ķēniņš viņu gribēja un viņu pie vārda sauca.
In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, who kept the concubines; she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.
15 Kad nu Esteres, Abikaīla, Mardakaja brālēna, meitas, Mardakaja audzēknes, reize atnāca, iet pie ķēniņa, tad viņa neprasīja ne ko, ka tik vien ko Egajus, ķēniņa kambarjunkurs, tas sievu sargs, sacīja. Un Estere atrada žēlastību pie visiem, kas viņu redzēja.
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
16 Tā Estere tapa ņemta pie ķēniņa Ahasverus ķēniņa namā desmitā mēnesī, tas ir Tebetmēnesis, viņa valdīšanas septītā gadā.
So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 Un ķēniņš iemīlēja Esteri pār visām sievām, un viņa atrada vairāk žēlastības un laipnības viņa priekšā nekā visas jaunietes, un viņš lika ķēniņa kroni uz viņas galvu un to cēla pār ķēniņieni Vastis vietā.
And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Un ķēniņš taisīja lielas dzīres visiem saviem lielkungiem un kalpiem, - tās bija Esteres dzīres, - un deva valstīm atvieglināšanu un izdalīja dāvanas pēc ķēniņa bagātības.
Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.
19 Kad nu otrā reizē tās jaunietes tapa sapulcētas, tad Mardakajs sēdēja ķēniņa vārtos.
And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, and Mordecai sat in the king's gate —
20 Bet Estere nebija teikusi ne savus radus, ne savus ļaudis, tā kā Mardakajs tai bija pavēlējis; jo Estere darīja pēc Mardakaja vārda, kā to laiku, kad viņa pie tā uzauga.
Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her; for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him —
21 Tanīs dienās, kad Mardakajs sēdēja ķēniņa vārtos, Bigtans un Teres, divi ķēniņa kambarjunkuri no tiem sliekšņa sargiem, apskaitās un meklēja rokas pielikt pie ķēniņa Ahasverus.
in those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
22 Un šī lieta Mardakajum tapa zināma, un viņš to izteica ķēniņienei Esterei, un Estere to sacīja ķēniņam Mardakaja vārdā.
And the thing became known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king thereof in Mordecai's name.
23 Un tā lieta tapa izmeklēta un tā atrasta, un tie divi tapa pakārti pie koka, un tas tapa ierakstīts laiku grāmatā priekš ķēniņa.
And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree; and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
