Esther 2
1 After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of the king Ahasuerus, he hath remembered Vashti, and that which she did, and that which hath been decreed concerning her;
Poslije toga, kad se utiša gnjev cara Asvira, on se opomenu Astine i što je uèinila i što je nareðeno za nju.
2 and servants of the king, his ministers, say, 'Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance,
I rekoše momci carevi, sluge njegove: da potraže caru mladijeh djevojaka lijepijeh;
3 and the king doth appoint inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman — virgin, of good appearance — unto Shushan the palace, unto the house of the women, unto the hand of Hege eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications,
I neka odredi car pristave po svijem zemljama carstva svojega da skupe sve djevojke mlade i lijepe u Susan grad carski u ženski dvor pod ruku Igaja dvoranina careva, èuvara ženskoga, i neka im se daju potrebe za ljepotu.
4 and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king doth reign instead of Vashti;' and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he doth so.
Pa koja djevojka bude po volji caru, neka bude carica na Astinino mjesto. I to bi po volji caru, i uèini tako.
5 A man, a Jew, there hath been in Shushan the palace, and his name [is] Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite —
Bijaše u Susanu carskom gradu Judejac po imenu Mardohej, sin Jaira sina Simeja sina Kisova, od plemena Venijaminova,
6 who had been removed from Jerusalem with the removal that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed —
Koji bi odveden u ropstvo iz Jerusalima s robljem koje bi odvedeno u ropstvo s Jehonijom carem Judinijem, kojega zarobi Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski.
7 and he is supporting Hadassah — she [is] Esther — daughter of his uncle, for she hath neither father nor mother, and the young woman [is] of fair form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother hath Mordecai taken her to him for a daughter.
On odgajaše Adasu, a to je Jestira, kæi strica njegova, jer ne imaše oca ni matere; a djevojka bijaše lijepa stasa i krasna lica, i po smrti oca joj i matere uze je Mardohej za kæer.
8 And it cometh to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered unto Shushan the palace, unto the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken unto the house of the king, unto the hand of Hegai, keeper of the women,
I kad se razglasi rijeè careva i zapovijest, i mnogo se djevojaka skupi u Susan grad carski pod ruku Igajevu, bi i Jestira dovedena u dvor carev pod ruku Igaja èuvara ženskoga.
9 and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receiveth kindness before him, and he hasteneth her purifications and her portions — to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided — to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changeth her and her young women to a good [place in] the house of the women.
I djevojka mu omilje i naðe milost u njega, te joj odmah dade potrebe za ljepotu i dio njezin, i sedam pristalijeh djevojaka iz carskoga doma, i namjesti je s njezinijem djevojkama na najljepše mjesto u ženskom domu.
10 Esther hath not declared her people, and her kindred, for Mordecai hath laid a charge on her that she doth not declare [it];
Jestira ne kaza naroda svojega ni roda svojega, jer joj Mardohej bješe zabranio da ne kazuje.
11 and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is done with her.
A Mardohej hodaše svaki dan ispred trijema od ženskoga doma da bi doznao kako je Jestira i što æe biti od nje.
12 And in the drawing nigh of the turn of each young woman to come in unto the king Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her — according to the law of the women — twelve months, for so they fulfil the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices, and with the purifications of women,
A kad bi došao red na koju djevojku da uðe k caru Asviru, pošto bi joj se èinilo po ženskom zakonu dvanaest mjeseca jer toliko vremena trebaše da se uljepšavaju, šest mjeseca uljem od smirne a šest mjeseca mirisima i drugim stvarima za ljepotu žensku
13 and with this the young woman hath come in unto the king, all that she saith is given to her, to go in with her, out of the house of the women, unto the house of the king;
Tada bi djevojka išla k caru, i što bi god rekla dalo bi joj se da s tijem ide iz ženske kuæe u dom carev.
14 in the evening she hath gone in, and in the morning she hath turned back unto the second house of the women, unto the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she cometh not in any more unto the king except the king hath delighted in her, and she hath been called by name.
Uveèe bi ušla, a ujutru bi se vratila u drugu kuæu žensku pod ruku Sazgaza dvoranina careva, èuvara inoèkoga; više ne bi išla k caru, veæ ako bi je htio car, te bi bila pozvana po imenu.
15 And in the drawing nigh of the turn of Esther — daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to him for a daughter — to come in unto the king, she hath not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, saith, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing her.
I tako kad doðe red na Jestiru kæer Avihaila strica Mardohejeva, koju bješe uzeo za kæer, da uðe k caru, ona ne zaiska ništa nego što reèe Igaj dvoranin carev, èuvar ženski; i Jestira nalažaše milost u svakoga ko je viðaše.
16 And Esther is taken unto the king Ahasuerus, unto his royal house, in the tenth month — it [is] the month of Tebeth — in the seventh year of his reign,
Tako bi Jestira odvedena k caru Asviru u carski dvor njegov desetoga mjeseca, koje je mjesec Tevet, sedme godine carovanja njegova.
17 and the king loveth Esther above all the women, and she receiveth grace and kindness before him above all the virgins, and he setteth a royal crown on her head, and causeth her to reign instead of Vashti,
I caru omilje Jestira mimo sve druge žene, i pridobi milost i ljubav njegovu mimo sve djevojke, te joj metnu carski vijenac na glavu i uèini je caricom na mjesto Astinino.
18 and the king maketh a great banquet to all his heads and his servants — the banquet of Esther — and a release to the provinces hath made, and giveth gifts as a memorial of the king.
I uèini car veliku gozbu svijem knezovima svojim i slugama svojim radi Jestire, i pokloni zemljama olakšice i razdade darove kako car može.
19 And in the virgins being gathered a second time, then Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king;
A kad se drugom skupljahu djevojke, Mardohej sjeðaše na vratima carevijem.
20 Esther is not declaring her kindred and her people, as Mordecai hath laid a charge upon her, and the saying of Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him.
A Jestira ne kaza svojega roda ni naroda, kao što joj bješe zapovjedio Mardohej, i Jestira èinjaše što joj Mardohej govoraše, kao kad se odgajaše kod njega.
21 In those days, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king, hath Bigthan been wroth, and Teresh, (two of the eunuchs of the king, the keepers of the threshold, ) and they seek to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus,
U te dane, kad Mardohej sjeðaše na vratima carevijem, rasrdiše se Vihtan i Teres dva dvoranina careva izmeðu onijeh koji stražahu na pragu, i gledahu da dignu ruke na cara Asvira.
22 and the thing is known to Mordecai, and he declareth [it] to Esther the queen, and Esther speaketh to the king in the name of Mordecai,
A to dozna Mardohej i javi carici Jestiri, a Jestira kaza caru u ime Mardohejevo.
23 and the thing is sought out, and found, and they are hanged both of them on a tree, and it is written in the book of the Chronicles before the king.
I kad se stvar izvidje i naðe, biše obješena ona obojica na drvo, i to se zapisa u knjigu dnevnika pred carem.
