Esteres 4

1 Kad nu Mardakajs dabūja zināt visu, kas bija noticis, tad Mardakajs saplosīja savas drēbes un apvilka maisu ar pelniem, un gāja pilsētas vidū, un brēca ar lielu un rūgtu brēkšanu.

And Mordecai hath known all that hath been done, and Mordecai rendeth his garments, and putteth on sackcloth and ashes, and goeth forth into the midst of the city and crieth — a cry loud and bitter,

2 Un viņš nāca priekš ķēniņa vārtiem; jo (pašos) ķēniņa vārtos neviens nevarēja ieiet ar maisu apģērbies.

and he cometh in unto the front of the gate of the king, but none is to come in unto the gate of the king with a sackcloth-garment.

3 Un visās valstīs un vietās, kurp ķēniņa vārds un viņa pavēle nonāca, bija lielas bēdas Jūdiem ar gavēšanu un raudāšanu un bēdāšanos, un daudzi gulēja maisos un pelnos.

And in every province and province, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, a great mourning have the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting: sackcloth and ashes are spread for many.

4 Tad Esteres meitas un viņas kambarjunkuri nāca un viņai to stāstīja, un ķēniņiene iztrūcinājās ļoti un viņa sūtīja drēbes, Mardakaju apģērbt un to maisu viņam atņemt, bet viņš tās nepieņēma.

And young women of Esther come in and her eunuchs, and declare [it] to her, and the queen is exceedingly pained, and sendeth garments to clothe Mordecai, and to turn aside his sackcloth from off him, and he hath not received [them].

5 Tad Estere aicināja Ataku, vienu no ķēniņa kambarjunkuriem, kas viņai bija iedots, un viņa pavēlēja Mardakaju izvaicāt, kas un kāpēc tas esot?

And Esther calleth to Hatach, of the eunuchs of the king, whom he hath stationed before her, and giveth him a charge for Mordecai, to know what this [is], and wherefore this [is].

6 Un Ataks izgāja pie Mardakaju uz pilsētas ielu priekš ķēniņa vārtiem.

And Hatach goeth out unto Mordecai, unto a broad place of the city, that [is] before the gate of the king,

7 Tad Mardakajs viņam stāstīja visu, kas tam bija noticis, un to nospriesto sudrabu, ko Amans bija solījis ķēniņa mantu namā iesvērt par Jūdiem, ka tie taptu izdeldēti.

and Mordecai declareth to him all that hath met him, and the explanation of the money that Haman said to weigh to the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them,

8 Un viņš tam deva tās rakstītās pavēles norakstu, kas Sūsanā bija dota, ka tie taptu izdeldēti, lai viņš to Esterei rādītu un viņai stāstītu, un viņai pavēlētu, iet pie ķēniņa, viņu piesaukt un lūgt savas tautas dēļ.

and the copy of the writing of the law that had been given in Shushan to destroy them he hath given to him, to shew Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to lay a charge on her to go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to seek from before him, for her people.

9 Tad Ataks nāca un sacīja Esterei Mardakaja vārdus.

And Hatach cometh in and declareth to Esther the words of Mordecai,

10 Un Estere sacīja uz Ataku un lika Mardakajam teikt:

and Esther speaketh to Hatach, and chargeth him for Mordecai:

11 Visi ķēniņa kalpi un visi ķēniņa valsts ļaudis zina, ka ikkatrs, vīrs vai sieva, kas pie ķēniņa nāk iekšējā pagalmā, kas nav aicināts, tam nospriests, to nokaut, (bez vien, kad ķēniņš to zelta scepteri viņam piesniedz, ka viņš paliek dzīvs). Bet es neesmu aicināta pie ķēniņa nākt nu jau trīsdesmit dienas.

'All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of the king, do know that any man and woman, who cometh in unto the king, unto the inner court, who is not called — one law [of] his [is] to put [them] to death, apart from him to whom the king holdeth out the golden sceptre, then he hath lived; and I — I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.'

12 Un Esteres vārdus atsacīja Mardakajam.

And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther,

13 Tad Mardakajs Esterei atkal lika sacīt: nedomā savā prātā, ka tu savu dzīvību ķēniņa namā labāki izglābsi nekā tie citi Jūdi.

and Mordecai speaketh to send back unto Esther: 'Do not think in thy soul to be delivered [in] the house of the king, more than all the Jews,

14 Jo ja tu šinī laikā klusu cietīsi, tad Jūdiem nāks palīdzība un izglābšana no citas vietas, bet tu un tava tēva nams iesiet bojā. Un kas zina, vai tu šī laika labad neesi iecelta par ķēniņieni?

but if thou keep entirely silent at this time, respite and deliverance remaineth to the Jews from another place, and thou and the house of thy fathers are destroyed; and who knoweth whether for a time like this thou hast come to the kingdom?'

15 Tad Estere Mardakajam lika sacīt:

And Esther speaketh to send back unto Mordecai:

16 Ej un sapulcē visus Jūdus, kas Sūsanā atrodas, un gavējiet priekš manis un neēdiet, nedz dzeriet trīs dienas, ne dienu ne nakti; es ar savām meitām, mēs tāpat gavēsim, un tā es iešu pie ķēniņa, jebšu tas nav pēc likuma; ja tad jāiet bojā, tad jāiet bojā.

'Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in unto the king, that [is] not according to law, and when I have perished — I have perished.'

17 Tad Mardakajs nogāja un darīja visu, ko Estere viņam bija pavēlējusi.

And Mordecai passeth on, and doth according to all that Esther hath charged upon him.
