Ester 2
New International Version (NIV) vs ARA
1 Later when King Xerxes' fury had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what he had decreed about her.
1 Passadas estas coisas, e apaziguado já o furor do rei Assuero, lembrou-se de Vasti, e do que ela fizera, e do que se tinha decretado contra ela.
2 Then the king's personal attendants proposed, "Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king.
2 Então, disseram os jovens do rei, que lhe serviam: Tragam-se moças para o rei, virgens de boa aparência e formosura.
3 Let the king appoint commissioners in every province of his realm to bring all these beautiful young women into the harem at the citadel of Susa. Let them be placed under the care of Hegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let beauty treatments be given to them.
3 Ponha o rei comissários em todas as províncias do seu reino, que reúnam todas as moças virgens, de boa aparência e formosura, na cidadela de Susã, na casa das mulheres, sob as vistas de Hegai, eunuco do rei, guarda das mulheres, e deem-se-lhes os seus unguentos.
4 Then let the young woman who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." This advice appealed to the king, and he followed it.
4 A moça que cair no agrado do rei, essa reine em lugar de Vasti. Com isto concordou o rei, e assim se fez.
5 Now there was in the citadel of Susa a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin, named Mordecai son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish,
5 Ora, na cidadela de Susã havia certo homem judeu, benjamita, chamado Mordecai, filho de Jair, filho de Simei, filho de Quis,
6 who had been carried into exile from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, among those taken captive with Jehoiachin "king of Judah.
6 que fora transportado de Jerusalém com os exilados que foram deportados com Jeconias, rei de Judá, a quem Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, havia transportado.
7 Mordecai had a cousin named Hadassah, whom he had brought up because she had neither father nor mother. This young woman, who was also known as Esther, had a lovely figure and was beautiful. Mordecai had taken her as his own daughter when her father and mother died.
7 Ele criara a Hadassa, que é Ester, filha de seu tio, a qual não tinha pai nem mãe; e era jovem bela, de boa aparência e formosura. Tendo-lhe morrido o pai e a mãe, Mordecai a tomara por filha.
8 When the king's order and edict had been proclaimed, many young women were brought to the citadel of Susa and put under the care of Hegai. Esther also was taken to the king's palace and entrusted to Hegai, who had charge of the harem.
8 Em se divulgando, pois, o mandado do rei e a sua lei, ao serem ajuntadas muitas moças na cidadela de Susã, sob as vistas de Hegai, levaram também Ester à casa do rei, sob os cuidados de Hegai, guarda das mulheres.
9 She pleased him and won his favor. Immediately he provided her with her beauty treatments and special food. He assigned to her seven female attendants selected from the king's palace and moved her and her attendants into the best place in the harem.
9 A moça lhe pareceu formosa e alcançou favor perante ele; pelo que se apressou em dar-lhe os unguentos e os devidos alimentos, como também sete jovens escolhidas da casa do rei; e a fez passar com as suas jovens para os melhores aposentos da casa das mulheres.
10 Esther had not revealed her nationality and family background, because Mordecai had forbidden her to do so.
10 Ester não havia declarado o seu povo nem a sua linhagem, pois Mordecai lhe ordenara que o não declarasse.
11 Every day he walked back and forth near the courtyard of the harem to find out how Esther was and what was happening to her.
11 Passeava Mordecai todos os dias diante do átrio da casa das mulheres, para se informar de como passava Ester e do que lhe sucederia.
12 Before a young woman's turn came to go in to King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, six months with oil of myrrh and six with perfumes and cosmetics.
12 Em chegando o prazo de cada moça vir ao rei Assuero, depois de tratada segundo as prescrições para as mulheres, por doze meses (porque assim se cumpriam os dias de seu embelezamento, seis meses com óleo de mirra e seis meses com especiarias e com os perfumes e unguentos em uso entre as mulheres),
13 And this is how she would go to the king: Anything she wanted was given her to take with her from the harem to the king's palace.
13 então, é que vinha a jovem ao rei; a ela se dava o que desejasse para levar consigo da casa das mulheres para a casa do rei.
14 In the evening she would go there and in the morning return to another part of the harem to the care of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the concubines. She would not return to the king unless he was pleased with her and summoned her by name.
14 À tarde, entrava e, pela manhã, tornava à segunda casa das mulheres, sob as vistas de Saasgaz, eunuco do rei, guarda das concubinas; não tornava mais ao rei, salvo se o rei a desejasse, e ela fosse chamada pelo nome.
15 When the turn came for Esther (the young woman Mordecai had adopted, the daughter of his uncle Abihail) to go to the king, she asked for nothing other than what Hegai, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the harem, suggested. And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her.
15 Ester, filha de Abiail, tio de Mordecai, que a tomara por filha, quando lhe chegou a vez de ir ao rei, nada pediu além do que disse Hegai, eunuco do rei, guarda das mulheres. E Ester alcançou favor de todos quantos a viam.
16 She was taken to King Xerxes in the royal residence in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
16 Assim, foi levada Ester ao rei Assuero, à casa real, no décimo mês, que é o mês de tebete, no sétimo ano do seu reinado.
17 Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
17 O rei amou a Ester mais do que a todas as mulheres, e ela alcançou perante ele favor e benevolência mais do que todas as virgens; o rei pôs-lhe na cabeça a coroa real e a fez rainha em lugar de Vasti.
18 And the king gave a great banquet, Esther's banquet, for all his nobles and officials. He proclaimed a holiday throughout the provinces and distributed gifts with royal liberality.
18 Então, o rei deu um grande banquete a todos os seus príncipes e aos seus servos; era o banquete de Ester; concedeu alívio às províncias e fez presentes segundo a generosidade real.
19 When the virgins were assembled a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate.
19 Quando, pela segunda vez, se reuniram as virgens, Mordecai estava assentado à porta do rei.
20 But Esther had kept secret her family background and nationality just as Mordecai had told her to do, for she continued to follow Mordecai's instructions as she had done when he was bringing her up.
20 Ester não havia declarado ainda a sua linhagem e o seu povo, como Mordecai lhe ordenara; porque Ester cumpria o mandado de Mordecai como quando a criava.
21 During the time Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthana "and Teresh, two of the king's officers who guarded the doorway, became angry and conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
21 Naqueles dias, estando Mordecai sentado à porta do rei, dois eunucos do rei, dos guardas da porta, Bigtã e Teres, sobremodo se indignaram e tramaram atentar contra o rei Assuero.
22 But Mordecai found out about the plot and told Queen Esther, who in turn reported it to the king, giving credit to Mordecai.
22 Veio isso ao conhecimento de Mordecai, que o revelou à rainha Ester, e Ester o disse ao rei, em nome de Mordecai.
23 And when the report was investigated and found to be true, the two officials were impaled on poles. All this was recorded in the book of the annals in the presence of the king.
23 Investigou-se o caso, e era fato; e ambos foram pendurados numa forca. Isso foi escrito no Livro das Crônicas, perante o rei.
