Jestira 4
1 A Mardohej doznav sve šta bi, razdrije haljine svoje i obuèe se u kostrijet i posu se pepelom i poðe po gradu vièuæi iza glasa gorko.
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 I doðe do pred vrata careva, jer ne bješe slobodno uæi na vrata careva u kostrijeti.
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 I u svijem zemljama, u koje god mjesto doðe rijeè careva i zapovijest njegova, bi velika žalost meðu Jevrejima i post i plaè i jauk, i mnogi u kostrijeti i pepelu ležahu.
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 I doðoše djevojke Jestirine i dvorani njezini, i javiše joj: i carica se ožalosti veoma, i posla haljine da preobuku Mardoheja i da skinu s njega kostrijet; ali on ne primi.
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 Tada dozva Jestira Ataha dvoranina careva, kojega joj bješe dao da joj služi, i zapovjedi mu za Mardoheja da razbere šta mu je i zašto.
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 I otide Atah k Mardoheju na ulicu gradsku koja bijaše pred vratima carevijem.
And Hatach goeth out unto Mordecai, unto a broad place of the city, that [is] before the gate of the king,
7 I Mardohej mu kaza sve što mu se dogodilo i za srebro što je obrekao Aman dati u carevu riznicu za Judejce da ih istrijebi;
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 I prijepis od zapovijesti koja bi proglašena u Susanu da se istrijebe, dade mu da je pokaže Jestiri i javi, i da joj naruèi da otide k caru i da ga umilostivi i da ga moli za svoj narod.
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 I vrativši se Atah kaza Jestiri rijeèi Mardohejeve.
And Hatach cometh in and declareth to Esther the words of Mordecai,
10 A Jestira reèe Atahu i zapovjedi mu da kaže Mardoheju:
and Esther speaketh to Hatach, and chargeth him for Mordecai:
11 Znaju sve sluge careve i narod po zemljama carevijem da ko bi god, èovjek ili žena, ušao k caru unutra u dvor ne buduæi pozvan, jedan je zakon za nj, da se pogubi, osim kome bi car pružio zlatnu palicu, taj ostaje živ; a ja nijesam zvana da uðem k caru, ovo je trideset dana.
'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 I kazane biše Mardoheju rijeèi Jestirine.
And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther,
13 A Mardohej opet poruèi Jestiri: nemoj misliti da æeš se mimo sve Judejce izbaviti u domu carevu.
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 Jer ako ti uzmuèiš sada, doæi æe pomoæ i izbavljenje Judejcima s druge strane, a ti i dom oca tvojega poginuæete; i ko zna nijesi li za ovako vrijeme došla do carstva.
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 Tada reèe Jestira da odgovore Mardoheju:
And Esther speaketh to send back unto Mordecai:
16 Idi, skupi sve Judejce što se nalaze u Susanu, i postite za me, i ne jedite ni pijte za tri dana ni danju ni noæu; i ja æu sa svojim djevojkama postiti takoðer, pa æu onda otiæi k caru, ako i nije po zakonu, i ako poginem, neka poginem.
'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 Tada otide Mardohej i uèini sve kako mu zapovjedi Jestira.
And Mordecai passeth on, and doth according to all that Esther hath charged upon him.
