Esther 2
1 After these things, when the king's feelings were calmer, the thought of Vashti and what she had done and the order he had made against her, came back to his mind.
Pēc tam, kad ķēniņa Ahasverus bardzība bija nostājusies, tad viņš pieminēja Vasti, un ko tā bija darījusi, un kas par viņu bija nospriests.
2 Then the servants who were waiting on the king said to him, Let search be made for some fair young virgins for the king:
Tad ķēniņa jaunekļi, kas viņam kalpoja, sacīja: lai ķēniņam meklē jaunas jumpravas skaistu vaigu.
3 Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;
Un lai ķēniņš ieceļ uzraugus visās savās valsts tiesās, ka tie sapulcē visas jaunās jumpravas skaistu vaigu uz Sūsanas pili, uz to sievu namu, apakš Egajus, ķēniņa kambarjunkura, tā sievu sarga, un lai pie tām notiek mazgāšana un svaidīšana.
4 And let the girl who is pleasing to the king be queen in place of Vashti. And the king was pleased with this suggestion; and he did so.
Un kura jauna meita ķēniņam labi patiks, tā lai top par ķēniņieni Vastis vietā. Un tas vārds patika ķēniņam un viņš tā darīja.
5 Now there was a certain Jew in Shushan named Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
Un viens Jūdu vīrs bija Sūsanas pilī, vārdā Mardakajs, tas bija Jaīra, tas Šimejus, tas Ķisa dēls, Benjaminietis;
6 Who had been taken away from Jerusalem among those who had been made prisoner with Jeconiah, king of Judah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken him away.
Tas bija aizvests no Jeruzālemes līdz ar tiem, kas tapa aizvesti ar Jekaniju, Jūda ķēniņu, ko NebukadNecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija aizvedis.
7 And he had been a father to Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his father's brother: for she had no father or mother, and she was very beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his daughter.
Un viņš bija Adasas audžu tēvs, tā ir Estere, viņa brālēna meita, jo viņai nebija ne tēva ne mātes. Un viņa bija jauna meita daiļu augumu un skaistu vaigu. Un kad viņas tēvs un viņas māte nomira, tad Mardakajs viņu bija pieņēmis par meitu.
8 So when the order made by the king was publicly given out, and a number of girls had been placed in the care of Hegai in the king's house in Shushan, Esther was taken into the king's house and put in the care of Hegai, the keeper of the women.
Kad nu ķēniņa vārds un viņa pavēle izpaudās un daudz jaunas meitas tika savestas Sūsanas pilī apakš Egajus rokas, tad Estere arī tapa ņemta ķēniņa namā, apakš Egajus, tā sievu sarga, rokas.
9 And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.
Un tā meita viņam patika un atrada žēlastību viņa priekšā, un viņš steidzās tai dot tās svaidāmās zāles priekš mazgāšanās un viņas daļu, un viņš tai deva septiņas daiļas jaunas meitas no ķēniņa nama, un viņš to noveda ar viņas meitām tai vislabākā vietā sievu namā.
10 Esther had not said what family or people she came from, for Mordecai had given her orders not to do so.
Bet Estere nebija teikusi nedz savus ļaudis nedz savus radus, jo Mardakajs viņai bija piekodinājis, lai tā to neteicot.
11 And every day Mordecai took his walk before the square of the women's house, to see how Esther was and what would be done to her.
Un Mardakajs staigāja ikdienas gar sievu nama pagalmu, lai dabūtu zināt, kā Esterei klājās un kas ar to būšot.
12 Now every girl, when her turn came, had to go in to King Ahasuerus, after undergoing, for a space of twelve months, what was ordered by the law for the women (for this was the time necessary for making them clean, that is, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet perfumes and such things as are needed for making women clean):
Kad nu ikvienas jaunietes reize atnāca iet pie ķēniņa Ahasverus, kad pēc sievu likuma ar to bija darīts divpadsmit mēnešus, (jo tik daudz laika pagāja viņu mazgāšanai un svaidīšanai, proti sešus mēnešus ar mirru eļļu un sešus mēnešus ar balzamu un citām sievu zālēm), -
13 And in this way the girl went in to the king; whatever she had a desire for was given to her to take with her from the women's house into the house of the king.
Tad tā jauniete nāca pie ķēniņa, un ko viņa prasīja, to viņai deva, ka viņa ar to ietu no sievu nama uz ķēniņa namu.
14 In the evening she went, and on the day after she came back to the second house of the women, into the keeping of Shaashgaz, one of the king's unsexed servants who had the care of the king's wives: only if the king had delight in her and sent for her by name did she go in to him again.
Vakarā viņa iegāja un rītā viņa gāja atpakaļ uz otru sievu namu, apakš Zaāzgas, ķēniņa kambarjunkura, lieko sievu sarga; viņa negāja atkal pie ķēniņa, kā vien, kad ķēniņš viņu gribēja un viņu pie vārda sauca.
15 Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And Esther was looked on kindly by all who saw her.
Kad nu Esteres, Abikaīla, Mardakaja brālēna, meitas, Mardakaja audzēknes, reize atnāca, iet pie ķēniņa, tad viņa neprasīja ne ko, ka tik vien ko Egajus, ķēniņa kambarjunkurs, tas sievu sargs, sacīja. Un Estere atrada žēlastību pie visiem, kas viņu redzēja.
16 So Esther was taken in to King Ahasuerus in his house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his rule.
Tā Estere tapa ņemta pie ķēniņa Ahasverus ķēniņa namā desmitā mēnesī, tas ir Tebetmēnesis, viņa valdīšanas septītā gadā.
17 And Esther was more pleasing to the king than all the women, and to his eyes she was fairer and more full of grace than all the other virgins: so he put his crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.
Un ķēniņš iemīlēja Esteri pār visām sievām, un viņa atrada vairāk žēlastības un laipnības viņa priekšā nekā visas jaunietes, un viņš lika ķēniņa kroni uz viņas galvu un to cēla pār ķēniņieni Vastis vietā.
18 Then the king gave a great feast for all his captains and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he gave orders through all the divisions of his kingdom for a day of rest from work, and gave wealth from his store.
Un ķēniņš taisīja lielas dzīres visiem saviem lielkungiem un kalpiem, - tās bija Esteres dzīres, - un deva valstīm atvieglināšanu un izdalīja dāvanas pēc ķēniņa bagātības.
19 And when the virgins came together in the second house of the women, Mordecai took his seat in the doorway of the king's house.
Kad nu otrā reizē tās jaunietes tapa sapulcētas, tad Mardakajs sēdēja ķēniņa vārtos.
20 Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders; for Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.
Bet Estere nebija teikusi ne savus radus, ne savus ļaudis, tā kā Mardakajs tai bija pavēlējis; jo Estere darīja pēc Mardakaja vārda, kā to laiku, kad viņa pie tā uzauga.
21 In those days, while Mordecai was seated at the king's doorway, two of the king's servants, Bigthan and Teresh, keepers of the door, being angry, were looking for a chance to make an attack on King Ahasuerus.
Tanīs dienās, kad Mardakajs sēdēja ķēniņa vārtos, Bigtans un Teres, divi ķēniņa kambarjunkuri no tiem sliekšņa sargiem, apskaitās un meklēja rokas pielikt pie ķēniņa Ahasverus.
22 And Mordecai, having knowledge of their purpose, sent word of it to Esther the queen; and Esther gave the news to the king in Mordecai's name.
Un šī lieta Mardakajum tapa zināma, un viņš to izteica ķēniņienei Esterei, un Estere to sacīja ķēniņam Mardakaja vārdā.
23 And when the thing had been looked into, it was seen to be true, and the two of them were put to death by hanging on a tree: and it was put down in the records before the king.
Un tā lieta tapa izmeklēta un tā atrasta, un tie divi tapa pakārti pie koka, un tas tapa ierakstīts laiku grāmatā priekš ķēniņa.
