Esther Denounces Haman

1 So the king came with Haman to drink with Queen Esther.

2 The king said to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted to you. And what is your request? It shall be granted to half the kingdom."

3 Then Queen Esther answered and said, "If, O king, I have found favor in your eyes, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given to me as my petition, and my people as my petition.

4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be destroyed. If they had sold us even for male and female servants, I would have kept quiet; though the oppressor would not have repaid the king's loss."

5 Then King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, "Who is he? And where is he who dared to do this?" 

6 And Esther said, The man, the oppressor, and the enemy, is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was disturbed before the king and queen. 

7 And the king in his wrath rose from the banquet of wine into the palace garden: and Haman stood to plead with Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that evil was determined upon him by the king. 

8 And when the king returned from the palace garden to the house of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen prostrate upon the couch where Esther was. And the king said, Would he also force the queen before me in this house? As soon as the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

 9 Then said Harbona, one of the eunuchs that served before the king, Behold, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who had spoken good to the king, standeth by the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him on it.

 10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath was appeased.

Ester 07 Ester denuncia Hamã

 

Ester 07

Ester denuncia Hamã

1 Vindo pois o rei com Hamã, para beber com a rainha Ester,

2 Disse também o rei a Ester no segundo dia, no banquete do vinho: Qual é a tua petição, rainha Ester? E se te dará. E qual é o teu requerimento? Até metade do reino, se fará.

3 Então respondeu a rainha Ester, e disse: Se, ó rei, achei graça aos teus olhos, e se bem parecer ao rei, dê-se-me a minha vida como minha petição, e o meu povo como meu requerimento.

4 Porque estamos vendidos, eu e o meu povo, para nos destruírem, matarem, e lançarem a perder; se ainda por servos e por servas nos vendessem, calar-me-ia; ainda que o opressor não recompensaria a perda do rei.

5 Então falou o rei Assuero, e disse à rainha Ester: Quem é esse? E onde está esse, cujo coração o instigou a fazer assim?

6 E disse Ester: O homem, o opressor, e o inimigo, é este mau Hamã. Então Hamã se perturbou perante o rei e a rainha.

7 E o rei no seu furor se levantou do banquete do vinho para o jardim do palácio; e Hamã se pôs em pé, para rogar à rainha Ester pela sua vida; porque viu que já o mal lhe era determinado pelo rei.

8 Tornando pois o rei do jardim do palácio à casa do banquete do vinho, Hamã tinha caído prostrado sobre o leito em que estava Ester. Então disse o rei: Porventura quereria ele também forçar a rainha perante mim nesta casa? Saindo esta palavra da boca do rei, cobriram a Hamã o rosto.

9 Então disse Harbona, um dos eunucos que serviam diante do rei: Eis que também a forca de cinqüenta côvados de altura que Hamã fizera para Mardoqueu, que falara para bem do rei, está junto à casa de Hamã. Então disse o rei: Enforcai-o nela.

10 Enforcaram pois a Hamã na forca, que ele tinha preparado para Mardoqueu. Então o furor do rei se aplacou.

 

एस्तेर 06 राजा इतिहास पढ़ता है और मोर्दकै को सम्मानित करने का निश्चय करता है

 एस्तेर 06

राजा इतिहास पढ़ता है और मोर्दकै को सम्मानित करने का निश्चय करता है

1 उसी रात राजा को नींद नहीं आई; फिर उसने इतिहास की पुस्तक को राजा के सामने लाने और पढ़ने का आदेश दिया।

2 और यह लिखा हुआ मिला कि मोर्दकै ने राजा के खोजों में से बिगतान और तेरेश नाम दो जनों के विषय में, जो द्वारपाल थे, यह कहा था, कि ये राजा क्षयर्ष पर हाथ डालने की युक्ति रखते हैं।

3 तब राजा ने पूछा, मोर्दकै को इसके बदले में क्या सम्मान और इनाम दिया गया है? राजा के सेवकों ने कहा, उसके साथ कुछ भी नहीं किया गया।

4 तब राजा ने पूछा, आंगन में कौन है? हामान राजा के बाहरी आंगन में यह कहने गया था कि जो खम्भा राजा ने मोर्दकै के लिये तैयार किया है, उस पर उसे लटका दिया जाए।

5 तब राजा के जवानों ने उस से कहा, देख, हामान आंगन में है। और राजा ने उसे अन्दर आने को कहा।

6 जब हामान भीतर आया, तब राजा ने उस से पूछा, जिस मनुष्य की प्रतिष्ठा राजा करना चाहता हो, उसके लिये क्या किया जाए? तब हामान ने मन में सोचा, राजा मुझ से अधिक किस को सम्मान देना चाहेगा?

7 हामान ने राजा से कहा, जिस मनुष्य की प्रतिष्ठा राजा करना चाहता हो,

8 राजा के राजकीय वस्त्र जो वह पहनता है, और वह घोड़ा जिस पर वह सवार होता है, लाया जाए और उसके सिर पर राजकीय मुकुट रखा जाए;

9 और वह वस्त्र और घोड़ा राजा के किसी हाकिम, जो बड़े सरदारों में से हो, उसके हाथ में दिया जाए, और जो पुरुष उसे पहिनाना चाहे वही उसे पहिनाए; और वे उसे घोड़े पर बैठाकर नगर की सड़कों पर ले जाएं, और उसके आगे-आगे यह घोषणा करें: जिस मनुष्य को राजा सम्मान देना चाहता है, उसके साथ ऐसा ही किया जाएगा!

10 तब राजा ने हामान से कहा, “जल्दी करो, अपने कहे अनुसार बागे और घोड़े को ले लो, और यहूदी मोर्दकै के लिए भी ऐसा ही करो, जो राजभवन के फाटक में बैठा करता है। और जो कुछ तुमने कहा है उसमें से कोई बात न छूटने दो।”

11 तब हामान ने उस वस्त्र और घोड़े को ले लिया, और मोर्दकै को पहना दिया, और घोड़े पर बैठाकर उसे नगर के चौकों में घुमाया, और उसके आगे आगे यह प्रचार करता गया, कि जिस मनुष्य को राजा प्रतिष्ठित करना चाहे, उसके साथ ऐसा ही किया जाएगा।

12 इसके बाद मोर्दकै राजा के फाटक पर लौट आया; परन्तु हामान निराश होकर तुरन्त अपने घर गया और अपना सिर ढक लिया।

13 तब हामान ने अपनी पत्नी जेरेश और अपने सब मित्रों को जो कुछ उसके साथ हुआ था, सब बताया। तब उसके बुद्धिमान जनों और उसकी पत्नी जेरेश ने उससे कहा, "यदि मोर्दकै, जिसके साम्हने तू गिरने लगा है, यहूदियों का हो, तो वह उस पर प्रबल न होगा, परन्तु तू अवश्य उसके साम्हने गिरेगा।"

14 वे अभी उससे बातें कर ही रहे थे कि राजा के खोजे आ पहुंचे और हामान को एस्तेर की बनाई हुई दावत में ले जाने लगे।

Esther 06 The King Reads the Chronicles and Decides to Honor Mordecai

 Esther 06

The King Reads the Chronicles and Decides to Honor Mordecai

1 That night the king could not sleep; so he ordered the book of the chronicles to be brought and read before the king.

2 And it was found written that Mordecai had reported about Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who kept the door, who sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

3 Then the king said, "What honor and reward has been given to Mordecai for this?" And the king's young men, his servants, said, "Nothing has been done to him."

4 Then the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had gone into the king's outer court to tell the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

5 And the king's young men said to him, "Behold, Haman is in the court." And the king ordered him to come in.

6 When Haman came in, the king said to him, “What shall be done for the man whom the king delights in honoring?” Then Haman thought in his heart, “Whom will the king delight in honoring him more than me?” 

7 So Haman said to the king, “The man whom the king delights in honoring, 

8 let the royal robes that the king wears be brought, and let the horse on which the king rides be mounted, and let the royal crown be placed on his head. 

9 Let the robe and the horse be given to one of the king’s princes, one of the greatest lords, and let the man whom the king delights in honor be clothed with them. Then let him ride through the streets of the city, and let it be proclaimed before him, ‘This is what shall be done for the man whom the king delights in honoring.’ 

10 Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have said, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits at the king’s gate. and do not let anything fall from your mouth.

11 So Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the streets of the city, and proclaimed before him, "This shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!"

12 After this Mordecai returned to the king's gate, but Haman hurried to his house in disgust, with his head covered.

13 Then Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends all that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the Jewish race, he will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him."

14 While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

Ester 06 O rei lê as crônicas e determina honrar Mardoqueu

 

Ester 06

O rei lê as crônicas e determina honrar Mardoqueu

1 Naquela mesma noite fugiu o sono do rei; então mandou trazer o livro das memórias das crônicas e se leram diante do rei.

2 E achou-se escrito que Mardoqueu tinha dado notícia de Bigtã e de Teres, dois eunucos do rei, dos da guarda da porta, de que procuraram pôr as mãos no rei Assuero.

3 Então disse o rei: Que honra e galardão se deu por isso a Mardoqueu? E os mancebos do rei, seus servos, disseram: Coisa nenhuma se lhe fez.

4 Então disse o rei: Quem está no pátio? E Hamã tinha entrado no pátio exterior do rei, para dizer ao rei que enforcassem a Mardoqueu na forca que lhe tinha preparado.

5 E os mancebos do rei lhe disseram: Eis que Hamã está no pátio. E disse o rei que entrasse.

6 E, entrando Hamã, o rei lhe disse: Que se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada? Então Hamã disse no seu coração: De quem se agradará o rei para lhe fazer honra mais do que a mim?

7 Pelo que disse Hamã ao rei: O homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada,

8 Traga o vestido real de que o rei se costuma vestir, monte também o cavalo em que o rei costuma andar montado, e ponha-se-lhe a coroa real na sua cabeça;

9 E entregue-se o vestido e o cavalo, à mão de um dos príncipes do rei, dos maiores senhores, e vistam dele aquele homem cuja honra se agrada; e levem-no a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregoe-se diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!

10 Então disse o rei a Hamã: Apressa-te, toma o vestido e o cavalo, como disseste, e faze assim para com o judeu Mardoqueu, que está assentado à porta do rei; e coisa nenhuma deixes cair de tudo quanto disseste.

11 E Hamã tomou o vestido e o cavalo, e vestiu a Mardoqueu, e o levou a cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, e apregoou diante dele: Assim se fará ao homem de cuja honra o rei se agrada!

12 Depois disto Mardoqueu voltou para a porta do rei; porém Hamã se retirou correndo a sua casa, anojado, e coberta a cabeça.

13 E contou Hamã a Zeres, sua mulher, e a todos os seus amigos, tudo quanto lhe tinha sucedido. Então os seus sábios, e Zeres, sua mulher lhe disseram: Se Mardoqueu, diante de quem já começaste a cair, é da semente dos judeus, não prevalecerá contra ele, antes certamente cairás perante ele.

14 Estando eles ainda falando com ele, chegaram os eunucos do rei, e se apressaram a levar Hamã ao banquete que Ester preparara.

एस्तेर 05 एस्तेर राजा के सामने आती है और उसे और हामान को दो भोजों पर आमंत्रित करती है

 एस्तेर 05

एस्तेर राजा के सामने आती है और उसे और हामान को दो भोजों पर आमंत्रित करती है

1 तीसरे दिन एस्तेर अपने राजकीय वस्त्र पहन कर राजा के भवन के भीतरी आँगन में, राजा के कक्ष के सामने खड़ी हुई। और राजा अपने राजसिंहासन पर बैठा। राजघराने में. कमरे के दरवाजे के सामने.

2 जब राजा ने एस्तेर रानी को आंगन में खड़ी हुई देखा, तब वह प्रसन्न हुई। तब राजा ने अपने हाथ में जो सोने का देवदारु था, उसे एस्तेर की ओर दिखाया; और एस्तेर ने निकट आकर राजदण्ड की नोक को छू लिया।

3 तब राजा ने उससे पूछा, “रानी एस्तेर, तुम क्या चाहती हो? तुम क्या चाहती हो?” यहाँ तक कि राज्य का आधा भाग भी तुम्हें दे दिया जायेगा।

4 एस्तेर ने कहा, यदि राजा को स्वीकार हो तो आज ही राजा और हामान उस जेवनार में आएं जो मैं ने उसके लिये तैयार की है।

5 तब राजा ने कहा, “हामान को जल्दी भेजो, ताकि वह एस्तेर की आज्ञा पूरी करे।” तब राजा और हामान उस भोज में आए जो एस्तेर ने तैयार किया था।

6 जब वे दाखमधु पी रहे थे, तब राजा ने एस्तेर से पूछा, “तुम क्या चाहती हो?” और यह तुम्हें दिया जाएगा. और आपकी क्या मांग है? और यह आधे राज्य तक पूरा किया जाएगा।

7 तब एस्तेर ने उत्तर दिया, कि मेरी बिनती यह है,

8 यदि राजा मुझ पर प्रसन्न हो और मेरी बिनती और प्रार्थना स्वीकार करना राजा को स्वीकार हो, तो राजा और हामान उस जेवनार में आएं जो मैं उनके लिये तैयार करूंगी; और कल मैं राजा की आज्ञा के अनुसार काम करूंगी।

9 सो हामान उस दिन आनन्दित और प्रसन्न मन से बाहर गया। परन्तु जब हामान ने मोर्दकै को राजा के भवन के फाटक में देखा, और यह भी कि वह उसके साम्हने न तो खड़ा हुआ और न हिला, तब हामान मोर्दकै पर क्रोध से भर गया।

10 परन्तु हामान अपने आप को रोककर अपने घर चला गया; और उसने अपने मित्रों को, और अपनी पत्नी जेरेश को बुला भेजा।

11 तब हामान ने उनको अपने धन का वैभव, और अपने लड़के-बालों की बढ़ती हुई दशा और राजा ने उसे क्या-क्या लाभ पहुँचाए थे, और यह भी बताया कि उसने उसे और हाकिमों और अपने कर्मचारियों से अधिक कैसे ऊंचे पद पर बैठाया था।

12 हामान ने कहा, एस्तेर रानी ने राजा के साथ जो भोज तैयार किया था, उसमें मुझे छोड़ और किसी को नहीं बुलाया। और कल राजा ने मुझे भी अपने साथ बुलाया है।

13 परन्तु जब तक मैं यहूदी मोर्दकै को राजभवन के फाटक पर बैठा हुआ देखता हूं, तब तक इन सब बातों से मैं संतुष्ट नहीं होता।

14 तब उसकी पत्नी जेरेश और उसके सब मित्रों ने उससे कहा, पचास हाथ ऊंचा एक फांसी का खम्भा बनाया जाए, और कल राजा से कहो कि मोर्दकै उस पर लटका दिया जाए। तब राजा के साथ आनन्द से जेवनार में जाओ। यह सलाह हामान को अच्छी लगी और उसने फांसी का फंदा बनवाने का आदेश दिया।

Esther 05 Esther enters the presence of the king and invites him and Haman to two banquets

 Esther 05

Esther enters the presence of the king and invites him and Haman to two banquets

1 So it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's house, opposite the king's chamber; while the king was sitting on his royal throne, in the royal house, opposite the entrance to the chamber.

2 And it happened, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his eyes; and the king pointed to Esther the golden cedar that was in his hand; and Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter.

3 Then the king said to her, "What is your request, Queen Esther? Or what is your request? Even half the kingdom will be given to you."

4 And Esther said, "If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."

 5 Then the king said, “Make Haman hurry, so that he may do what Esther has commanded.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared. 

6 At the banquet of wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It will be granted to you. And what is your request? It will be granted, even to half the kingdom.” 

7 Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this: 

8 If I have found favor in the king’s eyes, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and grant my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has commanded.” 

9 So Haman went out that day joyful and in good spirits. But when Haman saw Mordecai at the king’s gate, and that he did not rise or move before him, Haman was filled with wrath against Mordecai.

 10 But Haman restrained himself and went to his house. and he sent and had his friends and Zeresh his wife brought in. 

11 Then Haman told them the glory of his riches and the multitude of his children, and all the ways in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king. 

12 Haman said, “Neither did Queen Esther invite anyone with the king to the banquet she prepared except me; and tomorrow I am invited by her and the king.

 13 But all this does not satisfy me, as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.” 

14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and tomorrow tell the king that Mordecai be hanged on it, and then come in joyfully with the king to the banquet.” And this advice pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.

Ester 05 Ester entra à presença do rei, e convida-o, e Hamã, para dois banquetes

 

Ester 05

Ester entra à presença do rei, e convida-o, e Hamã, para dois banquetes

1 Sucedeu pois que ao terceiro dia Ester se vestiu de seus vestidos reais, e se pôs no pátio interior da casa do rei, defronte do aposento do rei; e o rei estava assentado sobre o seu trono real. Na casa real. Defronte da porta do aposento.

2 E sucedeu que, vendo o rei a rainha Ester, que estava no pátio, ela alcançou graça aos seus olhos, e o rei apontou para Ester o cedro de ouro, que tinha na sua mão, e Ester chegou, e tocou a ponta do cetro.

3 Então o rei lhe disse: Que é o que tens, rainha Ester, ou qual é a tua petição? Até metade do reino se te dará.

4 E disse Ester: Se bem parecer ao rei, venha o rei e Hamã hoje ao banquete que lhe tenho preparado.

5 Então disse o rei: Fazei apressar a Hamã, que cumpra o mandado de Ester. Vindo pois o rei e Hamã ao banquete, que Ester tinha preparado,

6 Disse o rei a Ester, no banquete do vinho: Qual é a tua petição? E se te dará. E qual é o teu requerimento? E se fará, ainda até metade do reino.

7 Então respondeu Ester, e disse: Minha petição e requerimento é:

8 Se achei graça aos olhos do rei, e se bem parecer ao rei conceder-me a minha petição, e outorgar-me o meu requerimento, venha o rei com Hamã ao banquete que lhes hei de preparar, e amanhã farei conforme ao mandado do rei.

9 Então saiu Hamã naquele dia alegre e de bom ânimo; porém vendo Hamã a Mardoqueu à porta do rei e que não se levantara nem se movera diante dele, então Hamã se encheu de furor contra Mardoqueu.

10 Hamã porém se refreou, e veio à sua casa; e enviou, e mandou vir os seus amigos, e a Zeres sua mulher.

11 E contou-lhes Hamã a glória das suas riquezas e a multidão de seus filhos, e tudo em que o rei o tinha engrandecido, e aquilo em que o tinha exaltado sobre os príncipes e servos do rei.

12 Disse mais Hamã: Tampouco a rainha Ester a ninguém fez vir com o rei ao banquete que tinha preparado, senão a mim; e também amanhã estou convidado por ela juntamente com o rei.

13 Porém tudo isto me não satisfaz, enquanto vir o judeu Mardoqueu assentado à porta do rei.

14 Então lhe disse Zeres, sua mulher, e todos os seus amigos: Faça-se uma forca de cinqüenta côvados de altura, e amanhã dize ao rei que enforquem nela Mardoqueu, e então entra alegre com o rei ao banquete. E este conselho bem pareceu a Hamã, e mandou fazer a forca.

 

एस्तेर 04 यहूदियों की घबराहट और दुःख

 एस्तेर 04

यहूदियों की घबराहट और दुःख

1 जब मोर्दकै को यह सब मालूम हुआ, तब उसने अपने वस्त्र फाड़े, टाट ओढ़ लिया, और राख डाल कर नगर के बीच में जाकर ऊंचे और दु:ख भरे स्वर से चिल्ला उठा।

2 और वह राजभवन के फाटक पर आया; क्योंकि टाट ओढ़े हुए कोई भी व्यक्ति राजा के फाटकों में प्रवेश नहीं कर सकता था।

3 और हर एक प्रान्त में, जहाँ कहीं राजा का वचन और नियम पहुँचा, वहाँ यहूदियों में बड़ा विलाप होने लगा; वे उपवास, रोना और विलाप करने लगे; और बहुत से लोग टाट ओढ़े और राख में पड़े रहे।

4 तब एस्तेर की सहेलियों और खोजों ने आकर उसको यह समाचार दिया, और रानी को बहुत दुःख हुआ। और मोर्दकै को वस्त्र पहनाने और उसका टाट उतार देने के लिये वस्त्र भेज दिए; परन्तु उसने उन्हें स्वीकार नहीं किया।

5 तब एस्तेर ने राजा के खोजों में से हताक को, जिसे राजा ने उसके साम्हने खड़ा किया था, बुलाकर मोर्दकै को आज्ञा दी, कि पता लगाए कि यह क्या बात है, और किस प्रयोजन के लिए है।

6 तब हताक नगर के उस चौक में, जो राजभवन के फाटक के साम्हने था, मोर्दकै के पास गया।

7 तब मोर्दकै ने जो कुछ उसके साथ हुआ था, सब उसको कह सुनाया। और हामान ने यहूदियों से कहा था कि वह राजा के भण्डार में चाँदी देगा, और यह भी कहा था कि वह राजा के भण्डार को उजाड़ने के लिए चाँदी देगा।

8 फिर उसने उसे एक लिखित नियम भी दिया जो शूशन में उनके नाश करने के लिये लिखा गया था, ताकि वह उसे एस्तेर को दिखाए और उसे उसके विषय में बताए। और उसे आज्ञा दी कि राजा के पास जाए, और उसके सामने उसकी प्रजा के लिये बिनती करे।

9 तब हताक ने एस्तेर के पास जाकर मोर्दकै की बातें बता दीं।

10 तब एस्तेर ने हताक से यह बात कह कर मोर्दकै के पास यह कहला भेजा,

11 राजा के सब कर्मचारी और उसके प्रान्तों के लोग जानते हैं कि जो कोई बिना बुलाए राजा के भीतरी आंगन में प्रवेश करेगा, उसके लिये एक ही दण्ड है, अर्थात प्राणदण्ड; परन्तु यदि राजा उसके आगे सोने का राजदण्ड न बढ़ा दे, तो वह जीवित रह जाएगा। और इन तीस दिनों से मुझे राजा के पास आने के लिये नहीं बुलाया गया।

12 तब उन्होंने मोर्दकै को एस्तेर की बातें बता दीं।

13 तब मोर्दकै ने उनसे कहा कि एस्तेर से फिर कहो, “यह मत सोचो कि तुम राजा के भवन में अन्य यहूदियों से अधिक बच सकोगी।

14 क्योंकि यदि तुम इस समय चुप रहो, तो यहूदियों को किसी और स्थान से छुटकारा और छुटकारा मिल जाएगा, परन्तु तुम और तुम्हारे पिता का घराना नाश हो जाएगा। और कौन जानता है कि क्या तुम ऐसे ही समय के लिए इस राज्य में आये हो?

15 तब एस्तेर ने उनसे कहा कि वे मोर्दकै से फिर कहें,

16 तुम जाकर शूशन में रहने वाले सब यहूदियों को इकट्ठा करो, और मेरे लिये उपवास करो; और तीन दिन तक न तो रात खाओ और न पीओ; मैं और मेरी सहेलियाँ भी इसी प्रकार उपवास करेंगी; और मैं राजा के पास जाऊँगा, यद्यपि यह नियम के अनुसार नहीं है; और, नाश होकर, मैं नाश हो जाऊंगा।

17 तब मोर्दकै ने जाकर एस्तेर की सारी आज्ञाओं के अनुसार किया।

Esther 04 The Consternation and Sorrow of the Jews

 Esther 04

The Consternation and Sorrow of the Jews

1 When Mordecai heard all that had happened, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city and cried with a loud and bitter cry.

2 And he came to the king's gate, for no one could enter the king's gates wearing sackcloth.

3 And in every province, wherever the king's word and his law came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and lamentation; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

4 Then Esther's maidens and her eunuchs came and told her, and the queen was very grieved. She sent garments to put on Mordecai and to take off his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.

5 Then Esther called Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs whom the king had placed in her presence, and gave him a command to Mordecai, to find out what this was and why.

 6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the square of the city that was before the king's gate. 

7 Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, and also the offering of the silver that Haman had said he would give to the king's treasury for the Jews, to destroy them. 

8 He also gave him the copy of the written law that had been published in Susa to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to make it known to her, and to order her to go to the king and to make supplication and plead in his presence for her people. 

9 So Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. 

10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and sent word to Mordecai, saying, 

11 All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for anyone who enters the king's inner court without being summoned, there is only one sentence, and that is death, unless the king holds out the golden scepter to him, that he may live; and I have not been summoned to enter the king these thirty days. 

12 And they told Mordecai what Esther had said. 

13 Then Mordecai ordered Esther to be told again, "Do not imagine that you will escape in the king's house more than all the other Jews. 

14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" 

15 Then Esther told them to tell Mordecai again, 

16 “Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens will fast likewise. Then I will go to the king, though it is not according to the law. If I die, I will die.” 

17 So Mordecai went and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

Ester 04 A consternação e tristeza dos judeus

 

Ester 04

A consternação e tristeza dos judeus

1 Quando Mardoqueu soube tudo quanto se havia passado, rasgou Mardoqueu os seus vestidos, e vestiu-se de um saco com cinza, e saiu pelo meio da cidade, e clamou com grande e amargo clamor;

2 E chegou até diante da porta do rei; porque ninguém vestido de saco podia entrar pelas portas do rei.

3 E em todas as províncias aonde a palavra do rei e a sua lei chegava, havia entre os judeus grande luto, com jejum, e choro, e lamentação; e muitos estavam deitados em saco e em cinza.

4 Então vieram as moças de Ester, e os seus eunucos, e fizeram-lhe saber, do que a rainha muito se doeu; e mandou vestidos para vestir a Mardoqueu, e tirar-lhe o seu saco; porém ele os não aceitou.

5 Então Ester chamou a Hataque (um dos eunucos do rei, que este, tinha posto na presença dela) e deu-lhe mandado para Mardoqueu, para saber, que era aquilo, e para quê.

6 E, saindo Hataque a Mardoqueu, à praça da cidade que estava diante da porta do rei.

7 Mardoqueu lhe fez saber tudo quanto lhe tinha sucedido; como também a oferta da prata, que Hamã dissera que daria para os tesouros do rei, pelos judeus para os lançar a perder.

8 Também lhe deu a cópia da lei escrita que se publicara em Susã para os destruir, para a mostrar a Ester, e lha fazer saber; e para lhe ordenar que fosse ter com o rei, e lhe pedisse e suplicasse na sua presença pelo seu povo.

9 Veio pois Hataque e fez saber a Ester as palavras de Mardoqueu.

10 Então disse Ester a Hataque e mandou-lhe dizer a Mardoqueu:

11 Todos os servos do rei, e o povo das províncias do rei bem sabe que todo o homem ou mulher que entrar ao rei, no pátio interior, sem ser chamado não há senão uma sentença, e de morte, salvo se o rei estender para ele o cetro de ouro, para que viva; e eu estes trinta dias não sou chamada para entrar ao rei.

12 E fizeram saber a Mardoqueu as palavras de Ester.

13 Então disse Mardoqueu que tornassem a dizer a Ester: Não imagines em teu ânimo que escaparás na casa do rei, mais do que todos os outros judeus.

14 Porque, se de todo te calares neste tempo, socorro e livramento doutra parte virá para os judeus, mas tu e a casa de teu pai perecereis; e quem sabe se para tal tempo como este chegaste a este reino?

15 Então disse Ester que tornassem a dizer a Mardoqueu:

16 Vai, ajunta a todos os judeus que se acharem em Susã, e jejuai por mim, e não comais nem bebais por três dias, nem de dia e nem de noite, e eu e as minhas moças também assim jejuaremos; e assim irei ter com o rei, ainda que não é segundo a lei; e, perecendo, pereço.

17 Então Mardoqueu foi, e fez conforme a tudo quanto Ester lhe ordenou.

 

एस्तेर 03 हामान सभी यहूदियों को मार डालना चाहता है

 एस्तेर 03

हामान सभी यहूदियों को मार डालना चाहता है

7 राजा क्षयर्ष के बारहवें वर्ष के पहले महीने में, अर्थात् निसान नाम के महीने में, पूर अर्थात् चिट्ठी हामान के आगे डाली गई, अर्थात अदार नाम बारहवें महीने तक, अर्थात दिन-प्रतिदिन और महीने-दर-महीने।

8 तब हामान ने राजा क्षयर्ष से कहा, तेरे राज्य के सब प्रान्तों में रहने वाले लोगों के बीच में एक जाति ऐसी बिखरी हुई है, जिसके नियम और सब लोगों के नियमों से भिन्न हैं, और वे राजा के नियमों को नहीं मानते; इसलिये राजा को उसे अपने यहां रहने देना उचित नहीं लगता।

9 यदि राजा को स्वीकार हो तो लिख दिया जाए कि वे प्राणदण्ड दिए जाएं; और मैं उस काम करनेवालों के हाथ में दस हजार किक्कार चान्दी दूंगा, कि वह राजा के भण्डारों में जमा हो जाए।

10 तब राजा ने अपने हाथ से अपनी अंगूठी निकालकर यहूदियों के विरोधी हम्मदाता अगागी के पुत्र हामान को दे दी।

11 तब राजा ने हामान से कहा, वह चान्दी तुझे दी गई है, और वे लोग भी, कि तू उन से जो चाहे सो कर।

12 तब उन्होंने पहिले महीने के तेरहवें दिन को राजा के लेखकों को बुलाकर जो कुछ हामान ने राजा के हाकिमों और प्रान्त-प्रान्त के हाकिमों और प्रजा के प्रधानों के पास आज्ञा दी थी, उसके अनुसार पत्र लिखा। प्रत्येक प्रान्त को उसके धर्मग्रंथ के अनुसार, और प्रत्येक राष्ट्र को उसकी भाषा के अनुसार; राजा अहासवेरोश के नाम से यह लिखा गया, और राजा की अंगूठी से मुहरबंद किया गया।

13 और राज्य के सब प्रान्तों में हरकारों के हाथ यह चिट्ठी भेजी गई कि एक ही दिन में, अर्थात् अदार नामक बारहवें महीने के तेरहवें दिन को, क्या जवान, क्या बूढ़ा, क्या बालक, क्या स्त्रियाँ, सब यहूदियों को मार डाला जाए, और उनका माल लूट लिया जाए।

14 प्रत्येक प्रान्त में व्यवस्था के प्रचार के लिए लिखित पत्र की एक प्रतिलिपि सब लोगों के पास भेजी गई, ताकि वे उस दिन के लिए तैयार रहें।

15 तब राजा की बात सुनकर दूत बाहर गए, और यह आज्ञा शूशन के राजभवन में घोषित की गई। और राजा और हामान शराब पीने बैठे; लेकिन सुसा शहर में अफरातफरी मची हुई थी।

Esther 03 Haman intends to kill all the Jews

 Esther 03

Haman intends to kill all the Jews

7 In the first month (that is, the month of Nisan), in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, Pur, that is, the lot, was cast before Haman, day by day and month by month, until the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

8 And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered and scattered among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, whose laws are different from those of all the peoples, and they do not keep the king's laws; therefore it is not in the king's interest to let them remain.

9 If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be put to death; and I will put in the hands of those who do the work ten thousand talents of silver, to go into the king's treasuries.

10 Then the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.

11 And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to you, and also these people, to do with them as it seems good to you.

12 Then they called the king's scribes in the first month, on the thirteenth day of the same, and according to all that Haman commanded, it was written to the king's princes, and to the governors who were over each province, and to the leaders of each people; to each province according to its writing, and to each people according to its language; it was written in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed with the king's ring.

13 And letters were sent by the hand of the couriers throughout all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to destroy all the Jews, both young and old, both children and women, on one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (which is the month of Adar), and to plunder their spoil. 

14 A copy of the letter that the law should be proclaimed in every province was sent to all the peoples, so that they would be prepared for that day.

15 The couriers, urged by the king's word, went out, and the law was proclaimed in Susa citadel. The king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in confusion.

Ester 03 Hamã pretende matar todos os judeus

 

Ester 03

Hamã pretende matar todos os judeus

7 No primeiro mês (que é o mês de Nisã), no ano duodécimo do rei Assuero, se lançou Pur, isto é, a sorte, perante Hamã, de dia em dia, e de mês em mês, até ao duodécimo mês, que é o mês de Adar.

8 E Hamã disse ao rei Assuero: Existe espalhado e dividido entre os povos em todas as províncias do teu reino um povo, cujas leis são diferentes das leis de todos os povos, e que não cumpre as leis do rei; pelo que não convém ao rei deixa-lo ficar.

9 Se bem parecer ao rei, escreva-se que os matem; e eu porei as mãos dos que fizerem a obra dez mil talentos de prata, para que entrem nos tesouros do rei.

10 Então tirou o rei o anel da sua mão, e o deu a Hamã, filho de Hamedata, agagita, adversário dos judeus.

11 E disse o rei a Hamã: Essa prata te é dada, como também esse povo, para fazeres dele o que bem parecer aos teus olhos.

12 Então chamaram os escrivães do rei no primeiro mês, no dia treze do mesmo, e conforme a tudo quanto Hamã mandou se escreveu aos príncipes do rei, e aos governadores que havia sobre cada província, e aos principais de cada povo; a cada província segundo a sua escritura, e a cada povo segundo a sua língua; em nome do rei Assuero se escreveu, e com o anel do rei se selou.

13 E as cartas se enviaram pela mão dos correios a todas as províncias do rei, que destruíssem, matassem, e lançassem a perder a todos os judeus desde o moço até ao velho, crianças e mulheres, em um mesmo dia, a treze do duodécimo mês (que é o mês de Adar), e que saqueassem o seu despojo.

14 Uma cópia do escrito para que se proclamasse a lei em cada província, foi enviada a todos os povos, para que estivessem preparados para aquele dia.

15 Os correios pois impelidos pela palavra do rei, saíram, e a lei se proclamou na fortaleza de Susã; e o rei e Hamã se assentaram a beber; porém a cidade de Susã estava confusa.

 

 

 

एस्तेर 03 हामान को ऊंचा किया जाता है, और मोर्दकै के प्रति घृणा पैदा की जाती है

 एस्तेर 03

हामान को ऊंचा किया जाता है, और मोर्दकै के प्रति घृणा पैदा की जाती है

1 इन बातों के बाद राजा क्षयर्ष ने अगागी हम्मदाता के पुत्र हामान को पदवी देकर उसको उन्नति दी; और अपने साथ के सब हाकिमों से ऊंचे स्थान पर अपना सिंहासन ठहराया।

2 और राजा के सब कर्मचारी जो राजभवन के फाटक में रहा करते थे, वे सब हामान के सामने झुककर दण्डवत् करने लगे। क्योंकि राजा ने उसके विषय में ऐसी आज्ञा दी थी; परन्तु मोर्दकै ने न तो सिर झुकाया और न ही दण्डवत् किया।

3 तब राजा के सेवक जो राजभवन के फाटक में रहते थे, उन्होंने मोर्दकै से पूछा, “तू राजा की आज्ञा क्यों टालता है?”

4 जब उन्होंने उसको प्रतिदिन ये बातें बताईं, और उसने उनकी न मानी, तब उन्होंने हामान से कहा, कि देखें, मोर्दकै की बातें सच होंगी कि नहीं, क्योंकि उसने तो उनसे कहा था, कि मैं यहूदी हूँ।

5 जब हामान ने देखा कि मोर्दकै ने न तो उसके आगे सिर झुकाया और न ही उसे प्रणाम किया, तब वह क्रोधित हुआ।

6 परन्तु केवल मोर्दकै पर हाथ डालना उसको छोटी बात लगी, क्योंकि उन्होंने उसको बता दिया था कि मोर्दकै कौन है; इसलिए हामान ने अहशवेरोश के राज्य में रहने वाले सभी यहूदियों, अर्थात् मोर्दकै के लोगों को नष्ट करने की कोशिश की।

Esther 03 Haman is Exalted, and Creates Hatred for Mordecai

 Esther 03

Haman is Exalted, and Creates Hatred for Mordecai

1 After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his place above all the princes who were with him.

2 And all the king's servants who were at the king's gate bowed down and prostrated themselves before Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him; but Mordecai would not bow down or prostrate himself.

3 Then the king's servants who were at the king's gate said to Mordecai, "Why do you transgress the king's command?"

4 And it came to pass, when they spoke this to him day after day, and he would not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's words would stand, because he had told them that he was a Jew. 

5 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down or pay homage to him, Haman was furious.

 6 But it seemed to him little to lay hands on Mordecai alone (for they had declared Mordecai's people to him). So Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were in the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

Ester 03 Hamã é exaltado, e cria ódio a Mardoqueu

 

Ester 03

Hamã é exaltado, e cria ódio a Mardoqueu

1 Depois destas coisas o rei Assuero engrandeceu a Hamã, filho de Hamedata, agagita, e o exaltou; e pôs o seu lugar acima de todos os príncipes que estavam com ele.

2 E todos os servos do rei, que estavam à porta do rei, se inclinavam e se prostravam perante Hamã; porque assim tinha ordenado o rei acerca dele; porém Mardoqueu não se inclinava nem se prostrava.

3 Então os servos do rei, que estavam à porta do rei disseram a Mardoqueu: Por que transpassas o mandado do rei?

4 Sucedeu pois que, dizendo-lhe eles isto de dia em dia, e não lhes dando ele ouvidos, o fizeram saber a Hamã, para verem se as palavras de Mardoqueu se sustentariam, porque ele lhes tinha declarado que era judeu.

5 Vendo pois Hamã que Mardoqueu se não inclinava nem se prostrava diante dele, Hamã se encheu de furor.

6 Porém em seus olhos teve em pouco o pôr as mãos só em Mardoqueu (porque lhe haviam declarado o povo de Mardoqueu); Hamã pois procurou destruir a todos os judeus que havia em todo o reino de Assuero, ao povo de Mardoqueu.

 एस्तेर 02

मोर्दकै को एक षड्यंत्र का पता चला

21 उन्हीं दिनों में जब मोर्दकै राजभवन के फाटक पर बैठा करता था, तब राजा के खोजों में से जो फाटक की रखवाली करते थे, बिगतान और तेरेश नाम दो जनों ने बहुत क्रोध करके राजा क्षयर्ष पर हाथ चलाने की युक्ति की।

22 यह बात मोर्दकै को मालूम हुई, और उसने रानी एस्तेर को बता दी; और एस्तेर ने मोर्दकै के नाम से राजा को समाचार दिया।

23 जब इस बात की जांच की गई, तो बात खुल गई, और वे दोनों फांसी पर लटका दिए गए; और यह बात राजा के साम्हने इतिहास में लिख दी गई।

Mordecai Discovers a Plot

21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, two of the king's eunuchs, who kept the gate, Bigthan and Teresh, were very angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

22 And it came to Mordecai's attention, and he told Queen Esther, and Esther told the king in Mordecai's name.

23 And the matter was inquired into, and it was discovered, and they both were hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the chronicles before the king.

21 Naqueles dias, assentando-se Mardoqueu à porta do rei, dois eunucos do rei, dos guardas da porta, Bigtã e Teres, grandemente se indignaram, e procuraram pôr as mãos no rei Assuero.

22 E veio isto ao conhecimento de Mardoqueu e ele fez saber à rainha Ester, e Ester o disse ao rei, em nome de Mardoqueu.

23 E inquiriu-se o negócio, e se descobriu, e ambos foram enforcados numa forca; e foi escrito nas crônicas perante o rei.
