Ester 1
CPDV: Catholic Public Domain Version (SM_CPDV) vs NTLH
1 In the days of Artaxerxes, who reigned from India to Ethiopia over one hundred twenty-seven provinces,
1 — ausente —
2 when he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city of Susa was the root of his kingdom.
2 — ausente —
3 And so, in the third year of his reign, he made a great feast for all the leaders and his servants, for the most powerful among the Persians and the distinguished among the Medes, and for the rulers of the provinces before him,
3 No terceiro ano do seu reinado, o rei deu um banquete para todos os seus oficiais e servidores. Estavam presentes também os chefes dos exércitos da Pérsia e da Média, e os governadores, e a gente da nobreza das províncias.
4 so that he might show the glorious riches of his kingdom, as well as its greatness, and so boast of his power, for a long time, namely, one hundred and eighty days.
4 Durante seis meses Xerxes exibiu a todos as riquezas do seu reino e o luxo e o esplendor da sua corte.
5 And when the days of the feast were nearly completed, he invited all the people, who had been found in Susa, from the greatest even to the least, and he commanded a feast to be prepared, for seven days, in the court of the garden and the arboretum, which had been planted by the care and by the hand of the king.
5 Depois dos seis meses, o rei ofereceu nos jardins do palácio um banquete para todos os moradores de Susã, tanto os ricos como os pobres. A festa durou uma semana.
6 And, in every direction, tents the color of the sky and of flax as well as hyacinth were hung up, suspended by cords of linen and even purple, which had been placed through rings of ivory and were held up with marble columns. The couches also, of gold and silver, had been arranged over a pavement of emerald-green, bearing scattered jewels, which was decorated with a wonderful variety of images.
6 O pátio estava todo enfeitado com cortinas de algodão brancas e azuis, amarradas com cordões de fino linho vermelho, que estavam presos por argolas de prata a colunas de mármore. O piso era feito de ladrilhos azuis, de mármore branco, de madrepérola e de pedras preciosas. Nesse pátio havia sofás de ouro e de prata.
7 Moreover, those who had been invited drank from golden cups, and dishes of foods were brought in one after another. Likewise, choice wine was presented in abundance, as was worthy of royal magnificence.
7 Os convidados tomavam as bebidas em copos de ouro, todos eles diferentes uns dos outros, e o rei mandou que o seu vinho fosse servido à vontade.
8 Nor was anyone compelled to drink who was unwilling, but, just as the king had appointed, one of his nobles was set over each table, so that each one might select what he wanted.
8 Todos podiam beber o quanto quisessem; o rei havia ordenado aos empregados do palácio que servissem a todos os hóspedes quanto vinho eles quisessem.
9 Likewise, Vashti the queen made a feast for the women, in the palace where king Artaxerxes was accustomed to stay the night.
9 A rainha Vasti também ofereceu no palácio real um banquete para todas as mulheres dos convidados.
10 And so, on the seventh day, when the king was more cheerful, and, after excessive drinking, had become warmed with wine, he ordered Mehuman, and Biztha, and Harbona, and Bigtha, and Abagtha, and Zethar, and Charkas, seven eunuchs who served in his presence,
10 No sétimo dia de banquetes, o rei já havia bebido bastante vinho e estava muito alegre. Aí ele mandou chamar os sete eunucos que eram os seus servidores particulares. Eles se chamavam Meumã, Bizta, Harbona, Bigtá, Abagta, Zetar e Carcas.
11 to bring in queen Vashti before the king, with the crown set upon her head, to show her beauty to the whole people and to the leaders, for she was very beautiful.
11 O rei ordenou que eles fossem buscar a rainha Vasti e que ela viesse com a coroa de rainha na cabeça. Ela era muito bonita, e o rei queria que os nobres e os outros convidados admirassem a sua beleza.
12 She refused, and she showed contempt towards the king’s command, which he had delivered to her by the eunuchs. Whereupon the king, being angry and inflamed with a very great fury,
12 Mas a rainha não atendeu a ordem do rei, e por isso ele ficou furioso.
13 questioned the wise men, who, according to royal custom were always near him and all he did was by their counsel, who knew the laws as well as the judgments of their ancestors,
13 Antes de tomar qualquer decisão, o rei consultava os entendidos em questões de lei e de costumes. Portanto, mandou chamar os conselheiros
14 (but first and foremost were Carshena, and Shethar, and Admatha, and Tarshish, and Meres, and Marsena, and Memucan, seven rulers of the Persians as well as the Medes, who saw the face of the king and who were accustomed to sitting down first after him,)
14 em quem ele tinha mais confiança, isto é, Carsena, Setar, Admata, Társis, Meres, Marsena e Memucã. Estes eram os sete ministros da Pérsia e da Média que ocupavam as mais altas posições no reino e serviam como conselheiros íntimos do rei.
15 as to what sentence should fall upon Vashti the queen, who had refused to do the commandment of king Artaxerxes, which he had delivered to her by the eunuchs.
15 Ele perguntou: — Eu, o rei Xerxes, mandei por meio dos meus servidores uma ordem à rainha Vasti, mas ela não obedeceu. De acordo com a lei, o que deve ser feito?
16 And Memucan answered, in the hearing of the king as well as the rulers, “Queen Vashti has wounded not only the king, but also all the people and the leaders, who are in all the provinces of king Artaxerxes.
16 Aí Memucã disse ao rei e aos seus ministros: — O que a rainha fez é uma ofensa não somente contra o senhor e os seus ministros, mas também contra os homens de todas as províncias do reino.
17 For word about the queen will go out to all the women, so that they will show contempt for their husbands, and they will say, ‘King Artaxerxes ordered that queen Vashti should enter before him, and she would not.’
17 Pois, quando em todo o reino as mulheres souberem do que a rainha fez, elas irão desprezar os seus maridos. E vão dizer: “O rei Xerxes mandou buscar a rainha Vasti, e ela não foi.”
18 And so, by this example all the wives of the leaders of the Persians and the Medes will belittle the authority of their husbands; therefore, the indignation of the king is just.
18 Hoje mesmo — continuou Memucã — as mulheres das altas autoridades da Pérsia e da Média vão saber do que a rainha Vasti fez e vão contar aos seus maridos. E por toda parte as mulheres não respeitarão os seus maridos, e os maridos ficarão zangados com as suas mulheres.
19 If it pleases you, let an edict be sent out from your presence, and let it be written according to the law of the Persians and the Medes, which it is forbidden to disregard, that Vashti shall no longer enter before the king, but let another, who is better than her, receive her queenship.
19 Portanto, se for da sua vontade, ó rei, assine um decreto proibindo a rainha Vasti de aparecer na presença do senhor. E mande escrever isso nos livros das leis da Pérsia e da Média, para que nunca possa ser anulado. Depois arranje uma mulher que seja melhor do que Vasti, para ser rainha no lugar dela.
20 And let this be published in all the provinces of your empire, (which is very wide,) and let all wives, the greater as much as the lesser, give honor to their husbands.”
20 Quando a ordem do rei for anunciada por todo este enorme reino, então todas as mulheres tratarão com respeito os seus maridos, sejam ricos ou pobres.
21 His counsel pleased the king and the rulers, and the king acted according to the counsel of Memucan,
21 O rei e os seus ministros gostaram da ideia, e ele fez o que Memucã tinha sugerido.
22 and he sent letters to all the provinces of his kingdom, so that every nation was able to hear and to read, in various languages and letters, that husbands are to be the greater rulers in their own houses, and that this should be published to every people.
22 Ele enviou cartas a todas as províncias do reino, cada carta na língua e na escrita de cada província e de cada povo, mandando que todo marido fosse chefe da sua casa e que tivesse sempre a última palavra.
