استر 2
| چندی بعد، وقتی خشم خشایارشا فرو نشست، یاد وشتی و کاری که او کرده بود و فرمانی که در مورد او صادر شده بود، او را در فکر فرو برد. | 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.
| پس مشاوران نزدیک او گفتند: «اجازه بدهید برویم و زیباترین دختران را پیدا کنیم و آنها را به قصر پادشاه بیاوریم. | 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.
| برای انجام این کار، مأمورانی به تمام استانها می‌فرستیم تا دختران زیبا را به حرمسرای پادشاه بیاورند و”هیجای“خواجه، رئیس حرمسرا لوازم آرایش در اختیارشان بگذارد. | 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.
| آنگاه دختری که مورد پسند پادشاه واقع شود به جای وشتی به عنوان ملکه انتخاب گردد.» پادشاه این پیشنهاد را پسندید و مطابق آن عمل کرد. | 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.
| در شوش یک یهودی به نام مُردخای (پسر یائیر و نوه شمعی، از نوادگان قیس بنیامینی) زندگی می‌کرد. | 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.
| وقتی نِبوکَدنِصَّر، پادشاه بابِل، عده‌ای از یهودیان را همراه یکنیا، پادشاه یهودا از اورشلیم به اسارت برد، مردخای نیز جزو اسرا بود. | 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.
| مردخای دختر عموی زیبایی داشت به نام هَدَسّه که به او استر هم می‌گفتند. پدر و مادر استر مرده بودند و مردخای او را به فرزندی پذیرفته و مثل دختر خود بزرگ کرده بود. | 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.
| وقتی فرمان خشایارشا صادر شد، استر نیز همراه دختران زیبای بی‌شمار دیگر به حرمسرای قصر شوش آورده شد. استر مورد لطف و توجه هیجای که مسئول حرمسرا بود قرار گرفت. او برای استر برنامهٔ مخصوص غذایی ترتیب داد و لوازم آرایش در اختیارش گذاشت، سپس هفت نفر از ندیمه‌های درباری را به خدمت او گماشت و بهترین مکان را به او اختصاص داد. | 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.
| 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.
| به توصیهٔ مردخای، استر به هیچ‌کس نگفته بود که یهودی است. | 10 |
Not she had told Esther people her and kindred her for Mordecai he had commanded to her that not she will tell.
| مردخای هر روز در محوطهٔ حرمسرا رفت و آمد می‌کرد تا از احوال استر باخبر شود و بداند بر او چه می‌گذرد. | 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.
| در مورد دخترانی که به حرمسرا آورده می‌شدند، دستور این بود که پیش از رفتن به نزد پادشاه، به مدت شش ماه با روغن مُر و شش ماه با عطریات و لوازم آرایش به زیباسازی آنان بپردازند. سپس هر دختری که نوبتش می‌رسید تا از حرمسرا به نزد پادشاه برود، هر نوع لباس و جواهری که می‌خواست به او داده می‌شد. غروب، آن دختر به خوابگاه پادشاه می‌رفت و صبح روز بعد به قسمت دیگر حرمسرا نزد سایر زنان پادشاه بازمی‌گشت. در آنجا تحت مراقبت خواجه شعشغاز، رئیس حرمسرا، قرار می‌گرفت. او دیگر نمی‌توانست نزد پادشاه بازگردد، مگر اینکه پادشاه وی را می‌پسندید و به نام احضار می‌کرد. | 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.
| 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.
| 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.
| استر دختر ابیحایل و ابیحایل عموی مُردِخای بود. (مردخای استر را به فرزندی گرفته بود). وقتی نوبت استر رسید که نزد پادشاه برود، او مطابق توصیهٔ خواجه هیجای خود را آراست. هر که استر را می‌دید او را می‌ستود. | 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.
| به این ترتیب در ماه دهم که ماه «طبت» باشد در سال هفتم سلطنت خشایارشا استر را به کاخ سلطنتی بردند. | 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.
| پادشاه، استر را بیشتر از سایر زنان دوست داشت و استر بیش از دختران دیگر مورد توجه و علاقهٔ او قرار گرفت؛ به طوری که پادشاه تاج بر سر استر گذاشت و او را به جای وشتی ملکه ساخت. | 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.
| پادشاه به افتخار استر جشن بزرگی برای تمام بزرگان و مقامات مملکتی بر پا کرد و آن روز را در تمامی ولایتها تعطیل اعلام کرده، از سخاوت پادشاهانۀ خود به ایشان هدایا بخشید. | 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.
| در این میان مردخای نیز از طرف پادشاه به مقام مهمی در دربار منصوب شد. | 19 |
And when were gathered virgins a second [time] and Mordecai [was] sitting at [the] gate of the king.
| اما استر هنوز به کسی نگفته بود که یهودی است، چون هنوز هم مثل زمان کودکی، دستورهای مردخای را اطاعت می‌کرد. | 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.
| یک روز در حالی که مردخای در دربار پادشاه مشغول خدمت بود، دو نفر از خواجه‌سرایان پادشاه به اسامی بغتان و تارش که از نگهبانان دربار بودند، از پادشاه کینه به دل گرفته، توطئه چیدند تا او را بکشند. | 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.
| مردخای از این سوء قصد باخبر شد و استر را در جریان گذاشت. استر نیز به پادشاه اطلاع داد که مردخای چه گفته است. | 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.
| به دستور پادشاه، این موضوع مورد بررسی قرار گرفت و پس از اینکه ثابت شد که حقیقت دارد، پادشاه آن دو را به دار آویخت. به دستور خشایارشا این واقعه در کتاب «تاریخ پادشاهان» ثبت گردید. | 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.
