Esther 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Daničić–Karadžić Bible (1868), Cyrillic
1After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was assuaged, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
1После тога, кад се утиша гнев цара Асвира, он се опомену Астине и шта је учинила и шта је наређено за њу.
2Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him: 'Let there be sought for the king young virgins fair to look on;
2И рекоше момци цареви, слуге његове: Да потраже цару младих девојака лепих;
3and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the castle, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their ointments be given them;
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 let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti.' And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
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 certain Jew in Shushan the castle, whose name was Mordecai the son of Jair the son of Shimei the son of Kish, a Benjamite,
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 with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
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 brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was of beautiful form and fair to look on; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own 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.
8So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was published, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the castle, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper 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 the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her ointments, with her portions, and the seven maidens, who were meet to be given her out of the king's house; and he advanced her and her maidens to the best place in the house of the women.
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.
10Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not tell it.
10Јестира не каза народ свој ни род свој, јер јој Мардохеј беше забранио да не казује.
11And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of 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 the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women, twelve months — for so were the days of their anointing accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six month with sweet odours, and with other ointments of the women —
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),
13when then the maiden came unto the king, whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
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.
14In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, who kept the concubines; she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.
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.
15Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
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 Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month 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 Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
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.
18Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.
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 gathered together the second time, and Mordecai sat in the king's gate —
19А кад се другом скупљаху девојке, Мардохеј сеђаше на вратима царевим.
20Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her; for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him —
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.
21in those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
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 the thing became known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king thereof in Mordecai's name.
22А то дозна Мардохеј и јави царици Јестири, а Јестира каза цару у име Мардохејево.
23And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree; and it was written in the book of 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.
