Ester 1
CPDV: Catholic Public Domain Version (SM_CPDV) vs NVT
1 In the days of Artaxerxes, who reigned from India to Ethiopia over one hundred twenty-seven provinces,
1 Estes acontecimentos ocorreram nos dias do rei Xerxes, que reinou sobre 127 províncias, desde a Índia até a Etiópia.
2 when he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city of Susa was the root of his kingdom.
2 Do trono real na fortaleza de Susã, Xerxes governava seu império.
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 de reinado, ofereceu um banquete a todos os seus nobres e oficiais. Convidou todos os oficiais militares da Pérsia e da Média e os príncipes e nobres 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 A festa durou 180 dias e foi uma demonstração formidável da grande riqueza do império e da pompa e esplendor de sua majestade.
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 Terminada a celebração, o rei ofereceu um banquete para todo o povo que estava na fortaleza de Susã, desde os mais importantes até os mais humildes. O banquete durou sete dias e foi realizado no pátio do jardim do palácio real.
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 enfeitado com cortinas brancas de algodão e com tapeçarias azuis, presas com cordas de linho branco e fitas vermelhas a argolas de prata fixadas a colunas de mármore. Havia sofás com armação de ouro e de prata sobre um piso de mosaico de pórfiro, mármore, madrepérola e outras pedras preciosas.
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 As bebidas eram servidas em taças de ouro de diversos modelos, e havia grande quantidade de vinho real, para mostrar a generosidade do rei.
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 Por ordem do rei, podia-se beber à vontade, pois ele havia instruído os oficiais de seu palácio a servirem quanto vinho cada convidado quisesse.
9 Likewise, Vashti the queen made a feast for the women, in the palace where king Artaxerxes was accustomed to stay the night.
9 Na mesma ocasião, a rainha Vasti ofereceu um banquete para as mulheres no palácio do rei Xerxes.
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 da festa, quando o rei Xerxes estava muito alegre por causa do vinho, ordenou aos sete eunucos que o serviam — 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 que lhe trouxessem a rainha Vasti, usando a coroa real. Ele queria que os nobres e os demais convidados contemplassem sua beleza, pois era uma mulher muito bonita.
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, quando transmitiram a ordem do rei à rainha Vasti, ela se recusou a ir. O rei ficou furioso e indignado.
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 Então o rei consultou seus sábios, que entendiam das leis e dos costumes dos persas, e aos quais ele sempre pedia conselhos.
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 Seus nomes eram Carsena, Setar, Admata, Társis, Meres, Marsena e Memucã, sete nobres da Pérsia e da Média. Tinham acesso direto ao rei e ocupavam os cargos mais altos do império.
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 “O que se deve fazer com a rainha Vasti?”, perguntou o rei. “De acordo com a lei, qual é o castigo para uma rainha que se recusa a obedecer às ordens do rei, transmitidas pelos eunucos?”
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 Memucã respondeu ao rei e aos nobres: “A rainha Vasti ofendeu não somente o rei, mas todos os nobres e cidadãos das províncias do império.
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 Mulheres de toda parte começarão a desprezar o marido quando souberem que a rainha Vasti se recusou a comparecer diante do rei.
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 Antes de terminar este dia, as esposas dos nobres do rei em toda a Pérsia e a Média saberão o que a rainha fez e começarão a tratar o marido da mesma forma. Haverá grande desprezo e indignação sem fim.
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 parecer bem ao rei, sugerimos que publique um decreto real, uma lei dos medos e dos persas que não pode ser revogada. Determinará que a rainha Vasti seja expulsa para sempre da presença do rei Xerxes e que o rei escolha outra rainha mais digna que ela.
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 o decreto for publicado em todo o vasto império do rei, maridos de toda parte, seja qual for a posição social, serão respeitados pela esposa”.
21 His counsel pleased the king and the rulers, and the king acted according to the counsel of Memucan,
21 O conselho pareceu razoável ao rei e a seus nobres, e ele aceitou a proposta de Memucã.
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 Enviou cartas a todas as partes do império, a cada província, em sua própria escrita e língua, proclamando que todo homem devia ser o chefe de sua própria casa e ter sempre a última palavra.
