< Jestira 2 >
1 Poslije toga, kad se utiša gnjev cara Asvira, on se opomenu Astine i što je uèinila i što je nareðeno za nju.
After these things, when the wrath of King Ahashuerosh was appeased, he remembred Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 I rekoše momci carevi, sluge njegove: da potraže caru mladijeh djevojaka lijepijeh;
And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, Let them seeke for the King beautifull yong virgins,
3 I neka odredi car pristave po svijem zemljama carstva svojega da skupe sve djevojke mlade i lijepe u Susan grad carski u ženski dvor pod ruku Igaja dvoranina careva, èuvara ženskoga, i neka im se daju potrebe za ljepotu.
And let the King appoynt officers through all the prouinces of his kingdome, and let them gather all the beautiful yong virgins vnto the palace of Shushan, into the house of the women, vnder the hand of Hege the Kings eunuche, keeper of the women, to giue them their things for purification.
4 Pa koja djevojka bude po volji caru, neka bude carica na Astinino mjesto. I to bi po volji caru, i uèini tako.
And the mayde that shall please the King, let her reigne in the steade of Vashti. And this pleased the King, and he did so.
5 Bijaše u Susanu carskom gradu Judejac po imenu Mardohej, sin Jaira sina Simeja sina Kisova, od plemena Venijaminova,
In the citie of Shushan, there was a certaine Iewe, whose name was Mordecai the sonne of Iair, the sonne of Shimei, the sonne of Kish a man of Iemini,
6 Koji bi odveden u ropstvo iz Jerusalima s robljem koje bi odvedeno u ropstvo s Jehonijom carem Judinijem, kojega zarobi Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski.
Which had bene caryed away from Ierusalem with the captiuitie that was caryed away with Ieconiah King of Iudah (whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel had caryed away)
7 On odgajaše Adasu, a to je Jestira, kæi strica njegova, jer ne imaše oca ni matere; a djevojka bijaše lijepa stasa i krasna lica, i po smrti oca joj i matere uze je Mardohej za kæer.
And he nourished Hadassah, that is Ester, his vncles daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the mayde was fayre, and beautifull to looke on: and after the death of her father, and her mother, Mordecai tooke her for his own daughter
8 I kad se razglasi rijeè careva i zapovijest, i mnogo se djevojaka skupi u Susan grad carski pod ruku Igajevu, bi i Jestira dovedena u dvor carev pod ruku Igaja èuvara ženskoga.
And when the Kings commandement, and his decree was published, and many maydes were brought together to the palace of Shushan, vnder the hand of Hege, Ester was brought also vnto the Kings house vnder the hande of Hege the keeper of the women.
9 I djevojka mu omilje i naðe milost u njega, te joj odmah dade potrebe za ljepotu i dio njezin, i sedam pristalijeh djevojaka iz carskoga doma, i namjesti je s njezinijem djevojkama na najljepše mjesto u ženskom domu.
And the mayde pleased him, and she founde fauour in his sight: therefore he caused her things for purification to be giuen her speedily, and her state, and seuen comely maides to be giuer her out of the Kings house, and he gaue change to her and to her maydes of the best in the house of the women.
10 Jestira ne kaza naroda svojega ni roda svojega, jer joj Mardohej bješe zabranio da ne kazuje.
But Ester shewed not her people and her kinred: for Mordecai had charged her, that shee should not tell it.
11 A Mardohej hodaše svaki dan ispred trijema od ženskoga doma da bi doznao kako je Jestira i što æe biti od nje.
Aud Mordecai walked euery day before the court of the womens house, to knowe if Ester did well, and what should be done with her.
12 A kad bi došao red na koju djevojku da uðe k caru Asviru, pošto bi joj se èinilo po ženskom zakonu dvanaest mjeseca jer toliko vremena trebaše da se uljepšavaju, šest mjeseca uljem od smirne a šest mjeseca mirisima i drugim stvarima za ljepotu žensku
And when the course of euery mayd came, to go in to King Ahashuerosh, after that she had bene twelue moneths according to the maner of the women (for so were the dayes of their purifications accomplished, sixe moneths with oyle of myrrhe, and sixe moneths with sweete odours and in the purifying of the women:
13 Tada bi djevojka išla k caru, i što bi god rekla dalo bi joj se da s tijem ide iz ženske kuæe u dom carev.
And thus went the maides vnto the King) whatsoeuer she required, was giuen her, to go with her out of the womens house vnto ye kings house.
14 Uveèe bi ušla, a ujutru bi se vratila u drugu kuæu žensku pod ruku Sazgaza dvoranina careva, èuvara inoèkoga; više ne bi išla k caru, veæ ako bi je htio car, te bi bila pozvana po imenu.
In the euening she went, and on the morow she returned into the second house of the women vnder the hand of Shaashgaz the Kings eunuche, which kept the concubines: shee came in to the King no more, except shee pleased the King, and that she were called by name.
15 I tako kad doðe red na Jestiru kæer Avihaila strica Mardohejeva, koju bješe uzeo za kæer, da uðe k caru, ona ne zaiska ništa nego što reèe Igaj dvoranin carev, èuvar ženski; i Jestira nalažaše milost u svakoga ko je viðaše.
Now when the course of Ester the daughter of Abihail the vncle of Mordecai (which had taken her as his owne daughter) came, that shee should go in to the King, she desired nothing, but what Hege the Kings eunuche the keeper of the women sayde: and Ester founde fauour in the sight of all them that looked vpon her.
16 Tako bi Jestira odvedena k caru Asviru u carski dvor njegov desetoga mjeseca, koje je mjesec Tevet, sedme godine carovanja njegova.
So Ester was taken vnto King Ahashuerosh into his house royall in the tenth moneth, which is the moneth Tebeth, in the seuenth yeere of his reigne.
17 I caru omilje Jestira mimo sve druge žene, i pridobi milost i ljubav njegovu mimo sve djevojke, te joj metnu carski vijenac na glavu i uèini je caricom na mjesto Astinino.
And the King loued Ester aboue all the women, and shee founde grace and fauour in his sight more then all the virgins: so that he set the crowne of the kingdome vpon her head, and made her Queene instead of Vashti.
18 I uèini car veliku gozbu svijem knezovima svojim i slugama svojim radi Jestire, i pokloni zemljama olakšice i razdade darove kako car može.
Then the King made a great feast vnto all his princes, and his seruants, which was the feast of Ester, and gaue rest vnto the prouinces, and gaue gifts, according to the power of a King.
19 A kad se drugom skupljahu djevojke, Mardohej sjeðaše na vratima carevijem.
And whe the virgins were gathered ye second time, then Mordecai sate in the Kings gate.
20 A Jestira ne kaza svojega roda ni naroda, kao što joj bješe zapovjedio Mardohej, i Jestira èinjaše što joj Mardohej govoraše, kao kad se odgajaše kod njega.
Ester had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people, as Mordecai had charged her: for Ester did after the worde of Mordecai, as when she was nourished with him.
21 U te dane, kad Mardohej sjeðaše na vratima carevijem, rasrdiše se Vihtan i Teres dva dvoranina careva izmeðu onijeh koji stražahu na pragu, i gledahu da dignu ruke na cara Asvira.
In those dayes whe Mordecai sate in the Kings gate, two of the Kings eunuches, Bigthan and Teresh, which kept the doore, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the King Ahashuerosh.
22 A to dozna Mardohej i javi carici Jestiri, a Jestira kaza caru u ime Mardohejevo.
And the thing was knowen to Mordecai, and he tolde it vnto Queene Ester, and Ester certified the King thereof in Mordecais name:
23 I kad se stvar izvidje i naðe, biše obješena ona obojica na drvo, i to se zapisa u knjigu dnevnika pred carem.
and when inquisition was made, it was found so: therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the booke of the Chronicles before the King.
