Ester 4

1 Idi naammoan amin ni Mardokeo ti naaramid, rinay-abna ti pagan-anayna ket nagkawes iti nakirsang a lupot ken nagikabil kadagiti dapo. Napan isuna iti tengnga ti siudad, ket naganug-og isuna iti napigsa ken nasaem.

And Mordecai hath known all that hath been done, and Mordecai rendeth his garments, and putteth on sackcloth and ashes, and goeth forth into the midst of the city and crieth — a cry loud and bitter,

2 Nagpatingga laeng isuna iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari, gapu ta awan ti mapalubusan nga sumrek a nakakawes iti nakirsang a lupot.

and he cometh in unto the front of the gate of the king, but none is to come in unto the gate of the king with a sackcloth-garment.

3 Kadagiti amin a probinsia a nakadanunan ti bilin ken linteg ti ari, adda iti kasta unay a panagladingit kadagiti Judio, a nabuyogan iti panagayunar, panagsangit, ken panagladingit. Adu kadakuada iti nagidda iti nakirsang a lupot ken kadagiti dapo.

And in every province and province, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, a great mourning have the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting: sackcloth and ashes are spread for many.

4 Idi napan dagiti babbalasitang ken dagiti adipen ni Ester nga imbaga kenkuana, nagledaang ti reyna. Nangipatulod isuna iti lupot a pagkawes ni Mardokeo (tapno ussobenna ti nakirsang a lupot), ngem saanna nga inawat dagitoy.

And young women of Esther come in and her eunuchs, and declare [it] to her, and the queen is exceedingly pained, and sendeth garments to clothe Mordecai, and to turn aside his sackcloth from off him, and he hath not received [them].

5 Ket pinaayaban ni Ester ni Hatak, maysa kadagiti opisial ti ari, a nadutokan nga agserbi kenkuana. Binilinna isuna a mapan kenni Mardokeo tapno ammoenna ti napasamak ken no ania ti kayatna a sawen iti ar-aramidenna.

And Esther calleth to Hatach, of the eunuchs of the king, whom he hath stationed before her, and giveth him a charge for Mordecai, to know what this [is], and wherefore this [is].

6 Napan ngarud ni Hatak iti ayan ni Mardokeo iti plasa iti siudad iti sangoanan iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari.

And Hatach goeth out unto Mordecai, unto a broad place of the city, that [is] before the gate of the king,

7 Impadamag ni Mardokeo kenkuana amin a napasamak kenkuana, ken no mano ti bilang ti pirak nga ingkari ni Haman a maikilo ken maikabil iti pagiduldulinan iti kinabaknang ti ari tapno maibilin a mapapatay dagiti Judio.

and Mordecai declareth to him all that hath met him, and the explanation of the money that Haman said to weigh to the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them,

8 Nangted pay ni Mardokeo kenni Hatak iti kopya ti bilin a naited iti Susa para iti pannakadadael dagiti Judio. Inaramidna daytoy tapno ipakita ni Hatak daytoy kenni Ester, ken tapno maitedna kenni Ester ti pagrebbengan a mapan iti ari tapno agkiddaw iti paborna, ken makipagpakpakaasi kenkuana para kadagiti tattaona.

and the copy of the writing of the law that had been given in Shushan to destroy them he hath given to him, to shew Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to lay a charge on her to go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to seek from before him, for her people.

9 Napan ngarud ni Hatak ken imbagana kenni Ester ti imbaga ni Mardokeo.

And Hatach cometh in and declareth to Esther the words of Mordecai,

10 Kalpasanna nakisarita ni Ester kenni Hatak ket imbagana nga agsubli isuna kenni Mardokeo.

and Esther speaketh to Hatach, and chargeth him for Mordecai:

11 Kinuna ni Ester, “Amin dagiti adipen ken dagiti tattao kadagiti probinsia ti ari ket ammoda a siasinoman a lalaki wenno babai iti mapan iti akin uneg a paraangan ti ari a saan a napaayaban, adda iti maymaysa laeng a linteg: a masapul a mapapatay isuna-malaksid iti siasinoman a pangiturungan ti ari ti balitok a setro tapno agbiag dayta a tao. Saanak a napaayaban a mapan iti ayan ti ari kadagitoy tallo-pulo nga aldaw.”

'All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of the king, do know that any man and woman, who cometh in unto the king, unto the inner court, who is not called — one law [of] his [is] to put [them] to death, apart from him to whom the king holdeth out the golden sceptre, then he hath lived; and I — I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.'

12 Isu nga impadamag ni Hatak kenni Mardokeo dagiti imbaga ni Ester.

And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther,

13 Sinungbatan ni Mardokeo daytoy a mensahe: “Saanmo a panunoten nga iti palasio ti ari, ket makalibaskanto ngem kadagiti dadduma a Judio.

and Mordecai speaketh to send back unto Esther: 'Do not think in thy soul to be delivered [in] the house of the king, more than all the Jews,

14 No agtalinaedka a naulimek kadagitoy a tiempo, aggapu iti sabali a lugar ti tulong ken panangispal kadagiti Judio, ngem sika ken ti balay ni amam ket mapukawto. Siasino ti makaammo a nalabit a naitan-okka a reyna para iti kastoy a gundaway?”

but if thou keep entirely silent at this time, respite and deliverance remaineth to the Jews from another place, and thou and the house of thy fathers are destroyed; and who knoweth whether for a time like this thou hast come to the kingdom?'

15 Kalapasanna, impatulod ni Ester daytoy a mensahe kenni Mardokeo,

And Esther speaketh to send back unto Mordecai:

16 “Mapanka, ummongem dagiti amin a Judio nga agnanaed iti Susa, ket agayunarkayo para kaniak. Saankayo a mangan wenno uminum iti tallo nga aldaw, ti rabii wenno aldaw. Dagiti babbalasitangko ken siak ket agayunar iti isu met laeng a wagas. Ket mapanakto iti ayan ti ari, uray no maibusor daytoy iti linteg. Ket no mapukawak, mapukawak.”

'Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in unto the king, that [is] not according to law, and when I have perished — I have perished.'

17 Napan ni Mardokeo ket inaramidna amin nga imbaga ni Ester nga aramidenna.

And Mordecai passeth on, and doth according to all that Esther hath charged upon him.
