< Ester 4 >

1 Nang maalaman nga ni Mardocheo ang lahat na nagawa, hinapak ni Mardocheo ang kaniyang suot, at nanamit ng kayong magaspang na may mga abo, at lumabas sa gitna ng bayan, at humiyaw ng malakas at kalagimlagim na hiyaw:
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 At siya'y naparoon hanggang sa harap ng pintuang-daan ng hari: sapagka't walang makapapasok sa loob ng pintuang-daan ng hari na nakapanamit ng magaspang na kayo.
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 At sa bawa't lalawigan, na kinararatingan ng utos ng hari at ng kaniyang pasiya, ay nagkaroon ng malakas na panangisan sa gitna ng mga Judio, at ng pagaayuno, at ng iyakan at ng taghuyan; at marami ay nagsipanamit ng kayong magaspang at mga abo.
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 At ang mga dalaga ni Esther at ang kaniyang mga kamarero ay nagsiparoon, at isinaysay sa kaniya; at ang reina ay namanglaw na mainam: at siya'y nagpadala ng bihisan upang isuot ni Mardocheo, at upang hubarin ang kaniyang kayong magaspang: nguni't hindi niya tinanggap.
(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 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Esther si Atach, na isa sa mga kamarero ng hari, na siya niyang inihalal na magingat sa kaniya, at binilinan niyang pumaroon kay Mardocheo, upang maalaman kung ano yaon, at kung bakit gayon.
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 Sa gayo'y nilabas nga ni Atach si Mardocheo, sa luwal na dako ng bayan, na nasa harap ng pintuang-daan ng hari.
And he went out Hathach to Mordecai to [the] open place of the city which [was] before [the] gate of the king.
7 At isinaysay sa kaniya ni Mardocheo ang lahat na nangyari sa kaniya, at ang lubos na kabilangan ng salapi na ipinangako ni Aman na ibayad sa mga ingatang-yaman ng hari hinggil sa mga Judio, upang lipulin sila.
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 Binigyan din niya siya ng salin ng pasiya na natanyag sa Susan upang lipulin sila, upang ipakilala kay Esther, at ipahayag sa kaniya: at upang ibilin sa kaniya na siya'y paroon sa hari upang mamanhik sa kaniya, at upang hingin sa kaniya, dahil sa kaniyang bayan.
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 At si Atach ay naparoon, at isinaysay kay Esther ang mga salita ni Mardocheo.
And he came Hathach and he told to Esther [the] words of Mordecai.
10 Nang magkagayo'y nagsalita si Esther kay Atach, at nagpasabi kay Mardocheo, na sinasabi,
And she said Esther to Hathach and she commanded him to Mordecai.
11 Lahat ng lingkod ng hari at ang bayan ng mga lalawigan ng hari ay nangakakaalam, na sinoman, maging lalake o babae, na paroroon sa hari sa pinakaloob na looban, na hindi tinatawag, may isang kautusan sa kaniya, na siya'y patayin, liban yaong paglawitan ng hari ng gintong cetro, upang siya'y mabuhay: nguni't hindi ako tinawag na paroon sa hari ng tatlong pung araw na ito.
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 At isinaysay nila kay Mardocheo ang mga salita ni Esther.
And they told to Mordecai [the] words of Esther.
13 Nang magkagayo'y pinapagbalik ng sagot sila ni Mardocheo kay Esther: Huwag mong isipin sa iyong sarili na ikaw ay makatatanan sa bahay ng hari, ng higit kay sa lahat na mga Judio.
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 Sapagka't kung ikaw ay lubos na tumahimik sa panahong ito, ay magtataglay nga ng katiwasayan at kaligtasan ang mga Judio sa ibang dako, nguni't ikaw at ang sangbahayan ng iyong magulang ay mapapahamak: at sinong nakakaalam na kung kaya ka pinasapit sa kaharian ay dahil sa bagay na ito?
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 Nang magkagayo'y nagpabalik ng sagot si Esther kay Mardocheo:
And she said Esther to bring back to Mordecai.
16 Ikaw ay yumaon, pisanin mo ang lahat na Judio, na nangakaharap sa Susan, at ipagayuno ninyo ako, at huwag kayong magsikain o magsiinom man na tatlong araw, gabi o araw; ako naman at ang aking mga dalaga ay mangagaayuno ng gayon ding paraan; at sa gayo'y papasukin ko ang hari, na hindi ayon sa kautusan: at kung ako'y mamatay ay mamatay.
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 Sa gayo'y yumaon si Mardocheo at ginawa ang ayon sa lahat na iniutos ni Esther sa kaniya.
And he passed on Mordecai and he did according to all that she had commanded to him Esther.
