1After this, when the wrath of king Assuerus was appeased, he remembered Vasthi, and what she had done and what she had suffered:
1После тога, кад се утиша гнев цара Асвира, он се опомену Астине и шта је учинила и шта је наређено за њу.
2And the king’s servants and his officers said: Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful,
2И рекоше момци цареви, слуге његове: Да потраже цару младих девојака лепих;
3And let some persons be sent through all the provinces to look for beautiful maidens and virgins: and let them bring them to the city of Susan, and put them into the house of the women under the hand of Egeus the eunuch, who is the overseer and keeper of the king’s women: and let them receive women’s ornaments, and other things necessary for their use.
3и нека одреди цар приставе по свим земљама царства свог да скупе све девојке младе и лепе у Сусан град царски у женски двор под руку Игаја дворанина царевог, чувара женског, и нека им се дају потребе за лепоту.
4And whosoever among them all shall please the king’s eyes, let her be queen instead of Vasthi. The word pleased the king: and he commanded it should be done as they had suggested.
4Па која девојка буде по вољи цару, нека буде царица на Астинино место. И то би по вољи цару, и учини тако.
5There was a man in the city of Susan, a Jew, named Mardochai, the son of Jair, the son of Semei, the son of Cis, of the race of Jemini,
5Беше у Сусану, царском граду Јудејац по имену Мардохеј, син Јаира сина Симеја сина Кисовог, од племена Венијаминовог,
6Who had been carried away from Jerusalem at the time that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon carried away Jechonias king of Juda,
6који би одведен у ропство из Јерусалима с робљем које би одведено у ропство с Јехонијом царем Јудиним, ког зароби Навуходоносор, цар вавилонски.
7And he had brought up his brother’s daughter Edissa, who by another name was called Esther: now she had lost both her parents: and was exceeding fair and beautiful. And her father and mother being dead, Mardochai adopted her for his daughter.
7Он одгајаше Адасу, а то је Јестира, кћи стрица његовог, јер не имаше оца ни матере; а девојка беше лепог стаса и красног лица, и по смрти оца јој и матере узе је Мардохеј за кћер.
8And when the king’s ordinance was noised abroad, and according to his commandment many beautiful virgins were brought to Susan, and were delivered to Egeus the eunuch: Esther also among the rest of the maidens was delivered to him to be kept in the number of the women.
8И кад се разгласи реч царева и заповест, и много се девојака скупи у Сусан град царски под руку Игајеву, би и Јестира доведена у двор царев, под руку Игаја чувара женског.
9And she pleased him, and found favour in his sight. And he commanded the eunuch to hasten the women’s ornaments, and to deliver to her her part, and seven of the most beautiful maidens of the king’s house, and to adorn and deck out both her and her waiting maids.
9И девојка му омиле и нађе милост у њега, те јој одмах даде потребе за лепоту и део њен, и седам присталих девојака из царског дома, и намести је с њеним девојкама на најлепше место у женском дому.
10And she would not tell him her people nor her country. For Mardochai had charged her to say nothing at all of that:
10Јестира не каза народ свој ни род свој, јер јој Мардохеј беше забранио да не казује.
11And he walked every day before the court of the house, in which the chosen virgins were kept, having a care for Esther’s welfare, and desiring to know what would befall her.
11А Мардохеј ходаше сваки дан испред трема од женског дома да би дознао како је Јестира и шта ће бити од ње.
12Now when every virgin’s turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices.
12А кад би дошао ред на коју девојку да уђе к цару Асвиру, пошто би јој се чинило по женском закону дванаест месеца (јер толико времена требаше да се улепшавају, шест месеца уљем од смирне, а шест месеца мирисима и другим стварима за лепоту женску),
13And when they were going in to the king, whatsoever they asked to adorn themselves they received: and being decked out, as it pleased them, they passed from the chamber of the women to the king’s chamber.
13тада би девојка ишла к цару, и шта би год рекла дало би јој се да с тим иде из женске куће у дом царев.
14And she that went in at evening, came out in the morning, and from thence she was conducted to the second house, that was under the hand of Susagaz the eunuch, who had the charge over the king’s concubines: neither could she return any more to the king, unless the king desired it, and had ordered her by name to come.
14Увече би ушла, а ујутру би се вратила у другу кућу женску под руку Сазгаза дворанина царевог, чувара иночког; више не би ишла к цару, већ ако би је хтео цар, те би била позвана по имену.
15And as the time came orderly about, the day was at hand, when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mardochai, whom he had adopted for his daughter, was to go in to the king. But she sought not women’s ornaments, but whatsoever Egeus the eunuch the keeper of the virgins had a mind, he gave her to adorn her. For she was exceeding fair, and her incredible beauty made her appear agreeable and amiable in the eyes of all.
15И тако, кад дође ред на Јестиру, кћер Авихаила стрица Мардохејевог, коју беше узео за кћер, да уђе к цару, она не заиска ништа него шта рече Игај дворанин царев, чувар женски; и Јестира налажаше милост у сваког ко је виђаше.
16So she was brought to the chamber of king Assuerus the tenth month, which is called Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
16Тако би Јестира одведена к цару Асвиру у царски двор његов десетог месеца, које је месец Тевет, седме године царовања његовог.
17And the king loved her more than all the women, and she had favour and kindness before him above all the women, and he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vasthi.
17И цару омиле Јестира мимо све друге жене, и придоби милост и љубав његову мимо све девојке, те јој метну царски венац на главу и учини је царицом на место Астинино.
18And he commanded a magnificent feast to be prepared for all the princes, and for his servants, for the marriage and wedding of Esther. And he gave rest to all the provinces, and bestowed gifts according to princely magnificence.
18И учини цар велику гозбу свим кнезовима својим и слугама својим ради Јестире, и поклони земљама олакшице, и раздаде дарове како цар може.
19And when the virgins were sought the second time, and gathered together, Mardochai stayed at the king’s gate,
19А кад се другом скупљаху девојке, Мардохеј сеђаше на вратима царевим.
20Neither had Esther as yet declared her country and people, according to his commandment. For whatsoever he commanded, Esther observed: and she did all things in the same manner as she was wont at that time when he brought her up a little one.
20А Јестира не каза свој род ни народ, као што јој беше заповедио Мардохеј, и Јестира чињаше шта јој Мардохеј говораше, као кад се одгајаше код њега.
21At that time, therefore, when Mardochai abode at the king’s gate, Bagathan and Thares, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were porters, and presided in the first entry of the palace, were angry: and they designed to rise up against the king, and to kill him.
21У те дане, кад Мардохеј сеђаше на вратима царевим, расрдише се Вихтан и Тарес, два дворанина царева између оних који стражаху на прагу, и гледаху да дигну руке на цара Асвира.
22And Mardochai had notice of it, and immediately he told it to queen Esther: and she to the king in Mardochai’s name, who had reported the thing unto her.
22А то дозна Мардохеј и јави царици Јестири, а Јестира каза цару у име Мардохејево.
23It was inquired into, and found out: and they were both hanged on a gibbet. And it was put in the histories, and recorded in the chronicles before the king.
23И кад се ствар извиде и нађе, бише обешена она обојица на дрво, и то се записа у књигу дневника пред царем.
