1 Cuando supo Mardoqueo todo lo que se había hecho, rasgó sus vestidos, y se vistió de cilicio y de ceniza, y se fue por medio de la ciudad clamando con grande y amargo clamor.
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 Y vino hasta delante de la puerta del rey; porque no era lícito pasar adentro de la puerta del rey con vestido de cilicio.
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 Y en cada provincia donde el mandamiento del rey y su ley llegaba, tenían los judíos grande luto, y ayuno, y lloro, y lamentación; cilicio y ceniza era la cama de muchos.
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 Y vinieron las doncellas de Ester y sus eunucos, y se lo dijeron; y la reina tuvo gran dolor, y envió vestidos para hacer vestir a Mardoqueo, y hacerle quitar el cilicio de sobre él; mas él no los recibió.
(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 Entonces Ester llamó a Hatac, uno de los eunucos del rey, que él había puesto al servicio de ella, y lo mandó a Mardoqueo, para saber qué era aquello, y por qué.
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 Salió, pues, Hatac a Mardoqueo, a la plaza de la ciudad que estaba delante de la puerta del rey.
And he went out Hathach to Mordecai to [the] open place of the city which [was] before [the] gate of the king.
7 Y Mardoqueo le declaró todo lo que le había acontecido, y le dio noticia de la plata que Amán había dicho que pesaría para los tesoros del rey por razón de los judíos, para destruirlos.
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 Le dio también la copia de la escritura del decreto que había sido dado en Susa para que fuesen destruidos, a fin de que la mostrara a Ester y se lo declarase, y le encargara que fuese al rey a suplicarle, y a pedir delante de él por su pueblo.
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 Y vino Hatac, y contó a Ester las palabra de Mardoqueo.

10 Entonces Ester dijo a Hatac, y le mandó decir a Mardoqueo:
And she said Esther to Hathach and she commanded him to Mordecai.
11 Todos los siervos del rey, y el pueblo de las provincias del rey saben, que todo varón o mujer que entra al rey al patio de adentro sin ser llamado, por una sola ley ha de morir; salvo aquel a quien el rey extendiere la vara de oro, el cual vivirá; y yo no he sido llamada para entrar al rey estos treinta días.

12 Y dijeron a Mardoqueo las palabras de Ester.

15 Y Ester dijo que respondiesen a Mardoqueo:
And she said Esther to bring back to Mordecai.
16 Ve, y junta a todos los judíos que se hallan en Susa, y ayunad por mí, y no comáis ni bebáis en tres días, noche ni día; yo también con mis doncellas ayunaré igualmente, y así entraré al rey, aunque no sea conforme a la ley; y si perezco, que perezca.
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.
