Ester 2
engbarkly (ENGBARKLY) vs NVT
1 Some time later, after King Zerk-sees (Xerxes) stopped being angry with Queen Vashti, he started to think about her and what she had done. And he thought about the law that stopped her from coming to see him.
1 Passada a indignação de Xerxes, ele começou a pensar em Vasti, naquilo que ela havia feito e no decreto que ele havia publicado.
2 Zerk-sees' helpers said to the king, “We think that you should send men everywhere to find beautiful young women that have never been to bed with a man. Your workers can bring them back here to be second wives for you and live in your palace. Then you can pick one of them to be your new queen.
2 Então seus conselheiros sugeriram: “Permita que procuremos em todo o império moças belas e virgens para o rei.
3 We think you should pick leaders from every part of Persia to bring those young women here to Susa. When they get here, they can go and live where all the king's women live. Give those young women to Hegai, he is the one who looks after all the king's women. And he can make sure those young women have all sorts of baths and are rubbed with nice smelling oils to make them look beautiful for the king.
3 E que o rei nomeie agentes em cada província para que tragam essas lindas moças ao harém na fortaleza em Susã. Hegai, eunuco do rei e encarregado do harém, providenciará que elas recebam tratamentos de beleza.
4 And then you can pick the woman you like the best and make her the queen instead of Vashti.”
4 Depois disso, a moça que mais agradar o rei se tornará rainha em lugar de Vasti”. O rei gostou muito desse conselho e o pôs em prática.

5 Nesse tempo, havia na fortaleza de Susã um judeu chamado Mardoqueu, filho de Jair. Era da tribo de Benjamim e descendente de Quis e Simei.
6 — ausente —
6 Sua família estava entre aqueles que, com Joaquim, rei de Judá, tinham sido deportados de Jerusalém para a Babilônia pelo rei Nabucodonosor.
7 More-dek-eye had a cousin named Hadassah. Abi-hail was her father and both Abi-hail and Hadassah's mother had died. So More-dek-eye adopted her and looked after her like she was his own daughter.
7 Mardoqueu tinha uma prima jovem, muito bonita e atraente, chamada Hadassa, também conhecida como Ester. Quando o pai e a mãe de Ester morreram, Mardoqueu a criou como sua própria filha.
8 When the king's law was read out, the men that the king had picked were sent out all over the country. They found Esther and a lot of other beautiful young women and took them to a special part of the king's palace in Susa. And that was where Hegai, the king's worker, looked after them.
8 Como resultado do decreto do rei, Ester e muitas outras moças foram trazidas ao palácio real, na fortaleza de Susã, e colocadas sob os cuidados de Hegai, o encarregado do harém.
9 Hegai really liked Esther and so she was the first of the young women to have the nice smelling oils rubbed on her. Hegai gave Esther the best food and 7 women from the king's palace to help her. And he gave Esther and her women helpers the best rooms where all the women lived in the king's palace.
9 Hegai ficou muito impressionado com a beleza de Ester e a tratou com bondade. Sem demora, providenciou que ela recebesse comida especial e tratamentos de beleza. Também lhe designou sete moças escolhidas do palácio real e a transferiu, com as jovens, para o melhor lugar do harém.
10 Some time before Esther was taken to the king's palace, More-dek-eye said to her, “Do not tell anyone that you are a Jew or that I am your cousin.” And so Esther did what More-dek-eye said.
10 Mardoqueu havia instruído Ester a não revelar a ninguém sua nacionalidade nem a origem de sua família.
11 When Esther was living in the king's palace, More-dek-eye worried for her. So every day he walked near the yard in front of where the women lived. He tried to find out what they were doing to her and if she was alright.
11 Todos os dias, Mardoqueu caminhava perto do pátio do harém para saber notícias de Ester e descobrir o que estava acontecendo.
12 Every one of the young women had to have a lot of nice things done to her for 12 months so that she was ready to meet the king. So, for 6 months she rubbed her body with a special smelling oil. And then for the next 6 months they gave her other nice smelling oils and perfumes to put on her body.
12 Antes de ser levada aos aposentos reais, cada moça recebia os doze meses prescritos de tratamentos de beleza: seis meses com óleo de mirra e seis meses com perfumes e cosméticos.
13 At the end of the 12 months it was time for each woman to meet the king. When the woman went to be with the king, she was allowed to take whatever she wanted from her room.
13 Quando chegava sua vez de ir aos aposentos reais, podia escolher do harém as roupas e as joias que quisesse.
14 When it was night time, the woman went to the king's room to spend the night with him. Then in the morning someone took her to another part of the palace. In those days, the king had other wives who were not as important as his main wife, the queen. Those second wives lived in a special place in the palace and a man named Shay-ash-gaz (Shaashgaz) looked after them for King Zerk-sees.
14 À tarde, era conduzida aos aposentos reais e, na manhã seguinte, ia para outra parte do harém, onde moravam as mulheres do rei. Ali, ficava sob os cuidados de Saasgaz, eunuco do rei encarregado das concubinas. Ela não voltaria a se encontrar com o rei a menos que ele tivesse gostado muito dela e mandasse chamá-la pelo nome.
15 Esther's father's name was Abi-hail. Abi-hail was More-dek-eye's uncle. More-dek-eye adopted Esther after her parents died.
15 Ester era filha de Abiail, tio de Mardoqueu. (Mardoqueu havia adotado Ester, sua prima mais nova, como filha.) Quando chegou a vez de Ester se apresentar ao rei, ela aceitou o conselho de Hegai, eunuco encarregado do harém. Não pediu nada além do que ele sugeriu e agradou a todos que a viram.
16 Zerk-sees had been the king of Persia for 6 years, and then in the cool weather time of the 7th year, Esther went to meet Zerk-sees in his palace.
16 Ester foi levada ao rei Xerxes no palácio real no mês de dezembro, no sétimo ano de seu reinado.
17 King Zerk-sees loved Esther more than any other woman in his house. He was really pleased with her, and he liked her more than any of the other young women that were taken to the palace. So Zerk-sees put the special hat called a crown on Esther's head and he made her the queen of Persia instead of Vashti. King Zerk-sees made Esther his queen|src="co01262b.TIF" size="col" copy="David C Cook Publishing Co.1996" ref="2:17"
17 O rei gostou mais de Ester que de qualquer outra moça. Agradou-se tanto dela que pôs a coroa real sobre sua cabeça e a declarou rainha em lugar de Vasti.
18 And then the king invited all the leaders and all the important people to a big party for Esther. Zerk-sees said that everyone in Persia was allowed to have a holiday, and he gave really nice presents to people.
18 Para comemorar a ocasião, ofereceu a todos os seus nobres e oficiais um grande banquete em homenagem a Ester. Declarou aquele dia feriado em todas as províncias e distribuiu presentes generosos para todos.
19 Esther's cousin More-dek-eye was one of the important workers for the king and so he was allowed to sit near the gate to the king's palace. And he was sitting there when Esther and all the other young women were meeting together for the second time.
19 Mesmo depois que todas as moças haviam sido transferidas para a outra parte do harém e que Mardoqueu tinha se tornado um dos oficiais do palácio,
20 Esther had always done what More-dek-eye told her to do right from when she went to live in his house. And More-dek-eye had warned her not to tell anyone that she was his cousin and that she was a Jew.
20 Ester continuou a manter em segredo sua nacionalidade e a origem de sua família. Ainda seguia as instruções de Mardoqueu como havia feito quando vivia sob os seus cuidados.
21 One day while More-dek-eye was sitting near the gate to the palace, 2 of the men who were the guards at the door to the king's private rooms got angry with the king. Their names were Big-thana and Ter-resh, and they made plans to kill the king.More-dek-eye listened to the men who wanted to kill the king|src="co01265b.TIF" size="col" copy="David C Cook Publishing Co.1996" ref="2:21"
21 Certo dia, quando Mardoqueu estava de serviço junto à porta do palácio real, dois eunucos do rei, Bigtana e Teres, guardas da porta dos aposentos do rei, se indignaram com Xerxes e conspiraram para matá-lo.
22 When More-dek-eye found out what they were planning to do, he told Esther and she told the king what More-dek-eye had said.
22 Mardoqueu, porém, soube do plano e transmitiu a informação à rainha Ester, que contou ao rei em nome de Mardoqueu.
23 The king sent some men to make sure that the story was true. They found out that the 2 men really were planning to kill the king. So the king sent his soldiers to put the 2 men up on wooden poles until they were dead. The king told one of his workers to write down in The Book about the Persian Nation how More-dek-eye saved the king.
23 Quando o caso foi investigado e descobriu-se que o relato de Mardoqueu era verdadeiro, os dois homens foram enforcados. Tudo isso está registrado no Livro da História do Reinado do Rei Xerxes .
