Естера 4
1 Мардохеу, афлынд тот че се петречя, шь-а сфышият хайнеле, с-а ымбрэкат ку ун сак ши с-а пресэрат ку ченушэ. Апой с-а дус ын мижлокул четэций, скоцынд ку путере стригэте амаре,
When Mordecai found out about those [letters, he was so anguished that] he tore his clothes and put on [rough] sackcloth and [threw] ashes over himself. Then he went into the city, crying very loudly.
2 ши а мерс пынэ ла поарта ымпэратулуй, а кэрей интраре ера опритэ орькуй ера ымбрэкат ку ун сак.
He stood outside the gate of the palace, because no one who was wearing sackcloth was allowed to enter the palace.
3 Ын фиекаре цинут унде ажунӂя порунка ымпэратулуй ши хотэрыря луй, а фост о маре жале принтре иудей: постяу, плынӂяу ши се бочяу ши мулць се кулкау ын сак ши ченушэ.
In every province [of the empire], when the letter from the king was read to the Jewish people, they cried and mourned. They (fasted/abstained from eating food), and wailed loudly. Many of them also put on sackcloth and threw ashes on themselves and lay [on the ground].
4 Служничеле Естерей ши фамений ей ау венит ши й-ау спус лукрул ачеста. Ши ымпэрэтяса а рэмас ынгрозитэ. А тримис хайне луй Мардохеу ка сэ-л ымбраче ши сэ я сакул де пе ел, дар ел ну ле-а примит.
When Esther’s maids and other officials came to her and told her what Mordecai had done, she was very distressed. So she sent to Mordecai [some good] clothes to wear instead of the sackcloth, but he refused to take them.
5 Атунч, Естера а кемат пе Хатак, унул дин фамений пе каре-й пусесе ымпэратул ын служба ей, ши л-а ынсэрчинат сэ се дукэ сэ ынтребе пе Мардохеу че ынсямнэ лукрул ачеста ши де унде вине.
Then Esther summoned Hathach, one of the king’s officials whom he had appointed to help take care of Esther. She told him to go [out and talk] to Mordecai to find out what was distressing him and why [he was wearing sackcloth to show] that he was grieving.
6 Хатак с-а дус ла Мардохеу ын локул дескис ал четэций, ынаинтя порций ымпэратулуй.
Hathach went to Mordecai, who was in the plaza in front of the palace gate.
7 Ши Мардохеу й-а историсит тот че и се ынтымпласе ши й-а спус сума де арӂинт пе каре фэгэдуисе Хаман кэ о ва да вистиерией ымпэратулуй ын скимбул мэчелэририй иудеилор.
Mordecai told him everything that had happened. He told him how much money Haman had promised to give to the government if the king commanded that all the Jews be killed.
8 Й-а дат ши купринсул порунчий вестите ын Суса ын ведеря нимичирий лор, ка с-о арате Естерей ши сэ-й спунэ тотул. Ши а порунчит ка Естера сэ се дукэ ла ымпэрат сэ-л роаӂе ши сэ стэруяскэ де ел пентру попорул сэу.
Mordecai also gave to Hathach a copy of the decree that had been read in Susa, [in which it was stated] that all the Jews must be killed. He told Hathach to show the copy to Esther. He told Hathach to explain to Esther what (it meant/would happen). Then he told him to urge her to go to the king and request the king to act mercifully to her people.
9 Хатак а венит ши а спус Естерей кувинтеле луй Мардохеу.
So Hathach returned to Esther and told her what Mordecai said.
10 Естера а ынсэрчинат пе Хатак сэ се дукэ сэ спунэ луй Мардохеу:
Then Esther told Hathach to [return to] Mordecai [and] tell this [to him]:
11 „Тоць служиторий ымпэратулуй ши попорул дин цинутуриле ымпэратулуй штиу кэ есте о леӂе каре педепсеште ку моартя пе орьчине, фие бэрбат, фие фемее, каре интрэ ла ымпэрат, ын куртя динэунтру, фэрэ сэ фие кемат. Нумай ачела скапэ ку вяцэ кэруя ый ынтинде ымпэратул тоягул луй ымпэрэтеск де аур. Ши еу н-ам фост кематэ ла ымпэрат де трейзечь де зиле.”
“There is a law [about people going to talk to the king]. All the king’s officials and all the people in the empire know this law. [In that law it states that] anyone who goes to the king in his inner court without having been summoned by the king must be executed. Only those to whom the king has extended his scepter/staff will not be executed. And a month has passed since the king has summoned me, [so what will happen to me if I try to see him and he doesn’t want to see me?]”
12 Кынд с-ау спус кувинтеле Естерей луй Мардохеу,
So Hathach [went back to] Mordecai [and] told [him] what Esther had said.
13 Мардохеу а тримис урмэторул рэспунс Естерей: „Сэ ну-ць ынкипуй кэ нумай ту вей скэпа динтре тоць иудеий пентру кэ ешть ын каса ымпэратулуй.
Mordecai replied, “[Go back and] tell this to Esther: 'Do not think that just because you live there in the palace, you will escape when all the other Jews [are killed].
14 Кэч, дакэ вей тэчя акум, ажуторул ши избэвиря вор вени дин алтэ парте пентру иудей, ши ту ши каса татэлуй тэу вець пери. Ши чине штие дакэ ну пентру о време ка ачаста ай ажунс ла ымпэрэцие?”
If you say nothing now, someone from some other place will rescue [many of] us Jews, but you and your relatives will be killed. Furthermore, (perhaps [God]/who knows if [God]) has put you here [as queen] (for a situation like this/to prevent this from happening to us)!'” [RHQ]
15 Естера а тримис сэ спунэ луй Мардохеу:
Then [after Hathach told this to] Esther, [she] told him to return to Mordecai and say this to him:
16 „Ду-те, стрынӂе пе тоць иудеий каре се афлэ ын Суса ши постиць пентру мине, фэрэ сэ мынкаць, нич сэ бець трей зиле, нич ноаптя, нич зиуа. Ши еу вой пости одатэ ку служничеле меле, апой вой интра ла ымпэрат ын чуда леӂий ши, дакэ ва фи сэ пер, вой пери.”
“Gather together all the Jews here in Susa, and tell them to (fast/abstain from food) for my sake. Tell them to not eat or drink anything for three days and nights. My maids and I will also fast. Then, I will go to talk to the king. Even if (I am executed/they execute me) for disobeying the law [by seeing him when he does not hold out the scepter/staff toward me, I am willing for that to happen”].
17 Мардохеу а плекат ши а фэкут тот че-й порунчисе Естера.
So [after Hathach told this to Mordecai, ] Mordecai went and did what Esther told him to do.
