Estera 2
1 Po teh stvareh, ko je bil bes Kralja Ahasvérja pomirjen, se je spomnil Vaští in kar je storila in kaj je bilo odrejeno zoper njo.
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 Potem so mu kraljevi služabniki, ki so mu služili, rekli: »Naj bodo za kralja poiskane lepe mlade device.
And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, Let them seeke for the King beautifull yong virgins,
3 Kralj naj določi častnike po vseh provincah svojega kraljestva, da lahko zberejo skupaj vse lepe mlade device v palačo Suze, v žensko hišo, pod oskrbo Hege, kraljevega glavnega upravitelja, čuvaja žensk in naj jim bodo dane njihove stvari za očiščevanje
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 in naj bo dekle, ki ugaja kralju, kraljica namesto Vaští.« Stvar je kralju ugajala in tako je storil.
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 Torej v palači Suze je bil nek Jud, katerega ime je bilo Mordohaj, sin Jaíra, sinú Šimíja, sinú Kiša, Benjaminovec,
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 ki je bil iz Jeruzalema odveden z ujetništvom, ki so bili odvedeni z Jehoníjem, Judovim kraljem, ki ga je babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar odvedel proč.
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 Vzgajal je Hadáso, to je Estero, hčer svojega strica, kajti ni imela niti očeta niti matere, deklica pa je bila lepa in krasna, ki si jo je Mordohaj, ko sta bila njen oče in mati mrtva, vzel za svojo lastno hčer.
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 Tako se je pripetilo, ko se je slišala kraljeva zapoved in njegov odlok in ko je bilo mnogo deklet skupaj zbranih v palači Suze, k oskrbi Hegája, da je bila tudi Estera privedena v kraljevo hišo, v oskrbo Hegája, čuvaja žensk.
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 Dekle mu je ugajalo in od njega doseglo naklonjenost. Naglo ji je dal njene stvari za očiščenje, s takšnimi stvarmi, kakor so ji pripadale in sedem služabnic, ki so bile primerne, da so ji bile izročene iz kraljeve hiše, ter njo in njene deklice privedel v najboljši prostor ženske hiše.
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 Estera pa ni prikazala svojega ljudstva niti svojega sorodstva, kajti Mordohaj ji je naročil, da naj tega ne prikaže.
But Ester shewed not her people and her kinred: for Mordecai had charged her, that shee should not tell it.
11 Mordohaj pa je vsak dan hodil pred dvor ženske hiše, da izve, kako se Estera počuti in kaj bo postalo iz 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 Torej, ko je prišla za vsako deklico vrsta, da gre h Kralju Ahasvérju, potem ko je bila dvanajst mesecev, glede na določen način za ženske (kajti tako so bili dnevi njihovih očiščevanj dovršeni, namreč šest mesecev z oljem iz mire in šest mesecev s prijetnimi dišavami in z drugimi stvarmi za očiščevanje žensk),
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 potem je vsako dekle tako prišlo h kralju. Karkoli si je želela, ji je bilo dano, da gre z njo iz ženske hiše v kraljevo hišo.
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 Zvečer je odšla, naslednji dan pa se je vrnila v drugo žensko hišo, k oskrbi Šaašgáza, kraljevega glavnega upravitelja, ki je čuval priležnice. Ni več prišla h kralju, razen če se je kralj razveseljeval v njej in da je bila poklicana 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 Torej ko je bila vrsta na Esteri, hčeri Abihájila, Mordohajevega strica, ki si jo je vzel za svojo hčer, je prišla, da gre noter h kralju. Ničesar ni zahtevala, razen kar je Hegáj, kraljevi glavni upravitelj, čuvaj žensk, določil. In Estera je dosegla naklonjenost v očeh vseh tistih, ki so pogledali nanjo.
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 je bila Estera odpeljana h Kralju Ahasvérju, v njegovo kraljevo hišo, v desetem mesecu, ki je mesec tébet, v sedmem letu njegovega vladanja.
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 Kralj pa je ljubil Estero nad vsemi ženskami in dosegla je milost in naklonjenost v njegovem pogledu, bolj kot vse device, tako da je kraljevo krono postavil na njeno glavo in jo naredil kraljico namesto Vaští.
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 Takrat je kralj naredil veliko praznovanje vsem svojim princem in svojim služabnikom, celó Esterin praznik. Provincam je naredil razbremenitev in dal darove glede na kraljevo razkošje.
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 Ko so drugič zbirali device skupaj, takrat je Mordohaj sedel pri kraljevih velikih vratih.
And whe the virgins were gathered ye second time, then Mordecai sate in the Kings gate.
20 Estera še ni prikazala svojega sorodstva niti svojega ljudstva, kakor ji je Mordohaj naročil, kajti Estera je izvršila Mordohajevo zapoved, podobno kakor, ko je bila vzgajana pri njem.
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 V tistih dneh, medtem ko je Mordohaj sedel pri kraljevih velikih vratih, sta bila dva izmed glavnih dvornih upraviteljev, Bigtáj in Tereš, izmed tistih, ki sta varovala vrata, ogorčena in iskala, da položita roko na Kralja Ahasvérja.
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 Stvar pa je bila odkrita Mordohaju, ki je to povedal kraljici Esteri in Estera je v Mordohajevem imenu o tem potrdila kralju.
And the thing was knowen to Mordecai, and he tolde it vnto Queene Ester, and Ester certified the King thereof in Mordecais name:
23 Ko je bilo o tej zadevi opravljeno zasliševanje, je bilo to razkrito, zato sta bila oba obešena na drevo. To je bilo pred kraljem zapisano v kroniško knjigo.
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.
