< Estera 4 >
1 Ko je Mordohaj zaznal vse, kar je bilo storjeno, je Mordohaj raztrgal svoja oblačila in si nadel vrečevino s pepelom in odšel ven v sredo mesta ter vpil z glasnim in grenkim glasom.
And Mordecai he knew all that it had been done and he tore Mordecai clothes his and he put on sackcloth and ash[es] and he went out in [the] midst of the city and he cried a cry loud and bitter.
2 Prišel je celo pred kraljeva velika vrata, kajti nihče ne more vstopiti v kraljeva velika vrata, oblečen z vrečevino.
And he went to before [the] gate of the king for not to go into [the] gate of the king in clothing of sackcloth.
3 V vsaki provinci, kamor sta prišla kraljeva zapoved in njegov odlok, je bilo med Judi veliko žalovanje, post, jokanje in tarnanje in mnogi so ležali v vrečevini in pepelu.
And in every province and province [the] place where [the] word of the king and law his [were] reaching mourning great [belonged] to the Jews and fasting and weeping and wailing sackcloth and ash[es] it was spread as a bed by many [people].
4 Tako so Esterine služabnice in njeni glavni dvorni upravitelji prišli in ji to povedali. Potem je bila kraljica silno užaloščena. Poslala je oblačilo, da obleče Mordohaja in da odstrani njegovo vrečevino proč iz njega, toda on tega ni sprejel.
(And they came *Q(k)*) [the] maids of Esther and eunuchs her and they told to her and she agonized the queen exceedingly and she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and to remove sackcloth his from on him and not he accepted [them].
5 Potem je Estera poklicala po Hatáha, enega izmed kraljevih glavnih dvornih upraviteljev, ki je bil določen, da ji služi in mu dala zapoved za Mordohaja, da izve kaj je bilo to in zakaj je bilo to.
And she summoned Esther Hathach one of [the] eunuchs of the king whom he had made stand before her and she commanded him on Mordecai to know what? [was] this and concerning what? [was] this.
6 Tako je Hatáh odšel k Mordohaju, na mestno ulico, ki je bila pred kraljevimi velikimi vrati.
And he went out Hathach to Mordecai to [the] open place of the city which [was] before [the] gate of the king.
7 Mordohaj mu je povedal o vsem, kar se mu je zgodilo in o vsoti denarja, ki ga je Hamán obljubil plačati v kraljeve zakladnice za Jude, da jih uniči.
And he told to him Mordecai all that it had happened to him and - [the] exact amount of the silver which he had said Haman to weigh out to [the] treasuries of the king (for the Jews *Q(k)*) to destroy them.
8 Dal mu je tudi kopijo pisanja odloka, ki je bil izdan v [mestu] Suze, da jih uniči, da ga pokaže Esteri in da ji to oznani in da jo zadolži, da naj bi šla h kralju, da mu izroči ponižno prošnjo in da pred njim sporoči zahtevo za svoje ljudstvo.
And copy of [the] writing of the law which it had been given in Susa to annihilate them he gave to him to show Esther and to tell to her and to command to her to go to the king to seek favor to him and to request from to before him on people her.
9 Hatáh je prišel in Esteri povedal Mordohajeve besede.
And he came Hathach and he told to Esther [the] words of Mordecai.
10 Estera je Hatáhu ponovno spregovorila in mu dala zapoved za Mordohaja:
And she said Esther to Hathach and she commanded him to Mordecai.
11 »Vsi kraljevi služabniki in ljudstvo kraljevih provinc vedo, da kdorkoli, ki ni poklican, bodisi moški ali ženska, pride h kralju na notranji dvor, je zanj ena postava, da ga usmrté, razen tistega, proti kateremu bo kralj iztegnil zlato žezlo, da bo lahko živel. Toda jaz nisem bila poklicana, da pridem h kralju teh trideset dni.«
All [the] servants of the king and [the] people of [the] provinces of the king [are] knowing that every man and woman who he goes to the king into the court inner who not he is summoned [is] one law his to put to death apart from that he extends to him the king [the] scepter of gold and he will live and I not (I have been summoned *L(abh)*) to go to the king this thirty day[s].
12 Esterine besede so povedali Mordohaju.
And they told to Mordecai [the] words of Esther.
13 Potem je Mordohaj zapovedal odgovoriti Esteri: »Ne misli si, da boš ti v kraljevi hiši ušla bolj kakor vsi Judje.
And he said Mordecai to bring back to Esther may not you imagine in self your to escape [the] house of the king from all the Jews.
14 Kajti če ob tem času povsem ohranjaš svoj mir, potem bo povečanje in osvoboditev vstalo k Judom iz drugega kraja, toda ti in hiša tvojega očeta boste uničeni. Kdo ve, ali nisi prišla do kraljestva zaradi tega časa, kakor je ta?«
That except certainly you will keep quiet at the time this relief and deliverance it will arise for the Jews from a place another and you and [the] house of father your you will perish and who? [is] knowing if for a time like this you have reached the queenhood.
15 Potem jim je Estera zaukazala vrniti Mordohaju ta odgovor:
And she said Esther to bring back to Mordecai.
16 »Pojdi, zberi skupaj vse Jude, ki so prisotni v [mestu] Suze in se postite zame in tri dni niti ne jejte niti ne pijte, ne ponoči ne podnevi. Tudi jaz in moje dekle se bomo prav tako postile in tako bom šla noter h kralju, kar ni glede na postavo, in če umrem, umrem.«
Go gather all the Jews who are found in Susa and fast on me and may not you eat and may not you drink three days night and day also I and maids my I will fast thus and in such I will go to the king which not [is] according to the law and just as I have perished I have perished.
17 Tako je Mordohaj odšel svojo pot in storil glede na vse to, kar mu je Estera zapovedala.
And he passed on Mordecai and he did according to all that she had commanded to him Esther.
