Esther 4
1 Now when Mordecai saw what was done, pulling off his robe, he put on haircloth, with dust on his head, and went out into the middle of the town, crying out with a loud and bitter cry.
A Mardohej doznav sve šta bi, razdrije haljine svoje i obuèe se u kostrijet i posu se pepelom i poðe po gradu vièuæi iza glasa gorko.
2 And he came even before the king's doorway; for no one might come inside the king's door clothed in haircloth.
I doðe do pred vrata careva, jer ne bješe slobodno uæi na vrata careva u kostrijeti.
3 And in every part of the kingdom, wherever the king's word and his order came, there was great sorrow among the Jews, and weeping and crying and going without food; and numbers of them were stretched on the earth covered with dust and haircloth.
I u svijem zemljama, u koje god mjesto doðe rijeè careva i zapovijest njegova, bi velika žalost meðu Jevrejima i post i plaè i jauk, i mnogi u kostrijeti i pepelu ležahu.
4 And Esther's women and her servants came and gave her word of it. Then great was the grief of the queen: and she sent robes for Mordecai, so that his clothing of haircloth might be taken off; but he would not have them.
I doðoše djevojke Jestirine i dvorani njezini, i javiše joj: i carica se ožalosti veoma, i posla haljine da preobuku Mardoheja i da skinu s njega kostrijet; ali on ne primi.
5 Then Esther sent for Hathach, one of the king's unsexed servants whom he had given her for waiting on her, and she gave him orders to go to Mordecai and see what this was and why it was.
Tada dozva Jestira Ataha dvoranina careva, kojega joj bješe dao da joj služi, i zapovjedi mu za Mardoheja da razbere šta mu je i zašto.
6 So Hathach went out and saw Mordecai in the open square of the town before the king's doorway.
I otide Atah k Mardoheju na ulicu gradsku koja bijaše pred vratima carevijem.
7 And Mordecai gave him an account of what had taken place, and of the amount of money which Haman had said he would put into the king's store for the destruction of the Jews.
I Mardohej mu kaza sve što mu se dogodilo i za srebro što je obrekao Aman dati u carevu riznicu za Judejce da ih istrijebi;
8 And he gave him the copy of the order which had been given out in Shushan for their destruction, ordering him to let Esther see it, and to make it clear to her; and to say to her that she was to go in to the king, requesting his mercy, and making prayer for her people.
I prijepis od zapovijesti koja bi proglašena u Susanu da se istrijebe, dade mu da je pokaže Jestiri i javi, i da joj naruèi da otide k caru i da ga umilostivi i da ga moli za svoj narod.
9 And Hathach came back and gave Esther an account of what Mordecai had said.
I vrativši se Atah kaza Jestiri rijeèi Mardohejeve.
10 Then Esther sent Hathach to say to Mordecai:
A Jestira reèe Atahu i zapovjedi mu da kaže Mardoheju:
11 It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only those to whom the king's rod of gold is stretched out may keep their lives: but I have not been sent for to come before the king these thirty days.
Znaju sve sluge careve i narod po zemljama carevijem da ko bi god, èovjek ili žena, ušao k caru unutra u dvor ne buduæi pozvan, jedan je zakon za nj, da se pogubi, osim kome bi car pružio zlatnu palicu, taj ostaje živ; a ja nijesam zvana da uðem k caru, ovo je trideset dana.
12 And they said these words to Mordecai.
I kazane biše Mardoheju rijeèi Jestirine.
13 Then Mordecai sent this answer back to Esther: Do not have the idea that you in the king's house will be safe from the fate of all the Jews.
A Mardohej opet poruèi Jestiri: nemoj misliti da æeš se mimo sve Judejce izbaviti u domu carevu.
14 If at this time you say nothing, then help and salvation will come to the Jews from some other place, but you and your father's family will come to destruction: and who is to say that you have not come to the kingdom even for such a time as this?
Jer ako ti uzmuèiš sada, doæi æe pomoæ i izbavljenje Judejcima s druge strane, a ti i dom oca tvojega poginuæete; i ko zna nijesi li za ovako vrijeme došla do carstva.
15 Then Esther sent them back to Mordecai with this answer:
Tada reèe Jestira da odgovore Mardoheju:
16 Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to be my fate, then let it come.
Idi, skupi sve Judejce što se nalaze u Susanu, i postite za me, i ne jedite ni pijte za tri dana ni danju ni noæu; i ja æu sa svojim djevojkama postiti takoðer, pa æu onda otiæi k caru, ako i nije po zakonu, i ako poginem, neka poginem.
17 So Mordecai went away and did everything as Esther had said.
Tada otide Mardohej i uèini sve kako mu zapovjedi Jestira.
