Ester 2
CPDV: Catholic Public Domain Version (SM_CPDV) vs NTLH
1 And so, after this had been carried out, and the indignation of king Artaxerxes had subsided, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what had happened to her.
1 Mais tarde a raiva do rei já havia passado, mas mesmo assim ele continuava a pensar no que Vasti havia feito e no decreto que ele havia assinado contra ela.
2 And the servants of the king, and his ministers, said, “Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful,
2 Aí alguns dos seus servidores mais íntimos lhe disseram: — Ó rei, mande buscar as mais lindas virgens do reino.
3 and let investigators be sent throughout all the provinces for young women, beautiful and virgins. And let them bring them to the city of Susa, and deliver them to the house of the women under the hand of Hegai the eunuch, who is the overseer and keeper of the king’s women. And let them receive feminine ornaments, and other things necessary for their use.
3 Escolha funcionários em todas as províncias e ordene que tragam as moças mais bonitas para o seu harém aqui em Susã, a capital. Hegai, o eunuco responsável pelo harém real, tomará conta delas e fará com que recebam um tratamento de beleza.
4 And whoever among them all will please the king’s eyes, let her reign instead of Vashti.” The idea pleased the king, and so he ordered it to be done as they had suggested.
4 E então, ó rei, que a moça que mais lhe agradar seja a rainha no lugar de Vasti. O rei gostou da ideia e fez o que lhe sugeriram.
5 There was a Jewish man in the city of Susa, by the name of Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, of the house of Benjamin,
5 Em Susã morava um judeu chamado Mordecai, filho de Jair e descendente de Simei e de Quis, da tribo de Benjamim.
6 who had been carried away from Jerusalem at the time that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon carried away Jeconiah king of Judah,
6 Quando o rei Nabucodonosor, da Babilônia, levou de Jerusalém como prisioneiro o rei Joaquim, de Judá, Mordecai estava entre os prisioneiros que foram levados com Joaquim.
7 who had raised his brother’s daughter Hadassah, who by another name was called Esther. And she had lost both her parents. She was very beautiful, with a graceful appearance. Since her father and mother had both died, Mordecai adopted her as his own daughter.
7 Mordecai levou consigo a sua prima Hadassa, isto é, Ester, uma moça bonita e formosa. Os pais dela tinham morrido, e Mordecai havia adotado a menina e a tinha criado como se ela fosse sua filha.
8 And when the king’s command became very well-known, in accordance with his command, many beautiful virgins were brought to Susa, and were delivered to Hegai the eunuch. Likewise, Esther, along with the other young women, was delivered to him, to be protected with the assembled women.
8 Quando o rei mandou anunciar a ordem, muitas moças foram levadas para Susã, a capital, e entregues aos cuidados de Hegai, o chefe do harém do palácio. Uma dessas moças era Ester.
9 She was pleasing to him, and she found favor in his sight. And he commanded a eunuch to hasten the women’s ornaments, and to deliver her share to her, along with seven of the most beautiful young women of the king’s house, so as to both adorn and honor her and her handmaids.
9 Hegai gostou dela, e ela conquistou a simpatia dele. Imediatamente ele começou a providenciar para ela o tratamento de beleza e a comida especial. Arranjou sete das melhores empregadas do palácio para cuidarem dela e colocou Ester e as empregadas nos melhores quartos do harém.
10 She was not willing to reveal to him her people or her native land. For Mordecai had instructed her that she should keep silent about all these things.
10 Ester fez conforme Mordecai tinha mandado e não disse nada a ninguém a respeito da sua raça e dos seus parentes.
11 He went for a walk every day, in the front courtyard of the house in which the chosen virgins were kept, having concern for Esther’s welfare and wanting to know what would happen to her.
11 Todos os dias Mordecai passeava em frente do pátio do harém para saber como Ester estava passando e o que ia acontecer com ela.
12 But, when the time came for each in the line of young women to go in to the king, after everything had been completed concerning feminine grooming, the twelfth month had been reached, to the extent that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for another six months they used certain types of makeup and perfumes.
12 O tratamento de beleza das moças durava um ano; durante seis meses eram usados perfumes de mirra e, no resto do ano, outros perfumes e produtos de beleza. Terminado o tratamento, cada moça era levada ao rei Xerxes.
13 And when they were going in to the king, whatever they requested to adorn themselves, they received, and when each was pleased with herself, having been prepared in the chamber of the women, she passed on to the king’s chamber.
13 Quando chegava a sua vez de ir do harém até o palácio, cada moça tinha o direito de levar tudo o que quisesse.
14 And whoever entered at evening, departed in the morning, and then from there she was led to the second house, which was under the hand of Shaashgaz the eunuch, who presided over the king’s concubines. Nor did she have the power to return again to the king, unless the king desired it and had summoned her by name.
14 À tarde, ela ia ao palácio, e na manhã seguinte ia para outro harém, e era entregue aos cuidados de Saasgaz, o eunuco responsável pelas concubinas do rei. Ela não voltava a se encontrar com o rei, a não ser que ele gostasse dela e mandasse chamá-la pelo nome.
15 But, as the order continued to progress, the day arrived when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mordecai, whom he had adopted as his daughter, was required to go in to the king. She did not seek feminine ornaments, except that whatever Hegai the eunuch and keeper of the virgins chose, he gave her to adorn her. For she was very attractive, and her incredible beauty made her appear gracious and amiable in the eyes of all.
15 Chegou a vez de Ester, filha de Abiail e prima de Mordecai, a moça que Mordecai tinha criado, a moça que conquistava a simpatia de todos os que a conheciam. Quando chegou a sua vez de se encontrar com o rei, ela levou somente aquilo que Hegai, o eunuco responsável pelo harém, havia recomendado.
16 And so she was led to the chamber of king Artaxerxes, in the tenth month, which is called Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
16 Ester foi levada ao palácio para apresentar-se ao rei Xerxes no mês de tebete , o décimo mês do sétimo ano do seu reinado.
17 And the king loved her more than all the women, and she had favor and mercy in his eyes above all the women, and he set the royal crown on her head, and he made her queen instead of Vashti.
17 Ele gostou dela mais do que de qualquer outra moça, e ela conquistou a simpatia e a admiração dele como nenhuma outra moça havia feito. Ele colocou a coroa na cabeça dela e a fez rainha no lugar de Vasti.
18 And he ordered a magnificent feast to be prepared for all the rulers, and for his servants, because of the union and wedding of Esther. And he gave a holiday to all the provinces, and he bestowed gifts befitting of princely generosity.
18 Depois ele deu um grande banquete em honra de Ester e convidou todos os oficiais e servidores. Ele decretou que aquele dia fosse feriado no reino inteiro e distribuiu presentes que só um rei poderia oferecer.
19 And when the virgins were sought for the second time and gathered together, Mordecai remained at the king’s gate.
19 Durante o tempo em que as moças estavam sendo transferidas para o outro harém , Mordecai tinha sido nomeado pelo rei para ocupar um cargo no governo.
20 Esther had not yet declared her native land and her people, according to his command. For whatever he instructed, Esther observed. And so she did all things as she had become accustomed in the time when he raised her from early childhood.
20 Seguindo o conselho de Mordecai, Ester ainda não tinha dito a ninguém que era judia. Ela continuava a obedecer a Mordecai, como tinha feito nos tempos de menina, quando ele a estava criando.
21 Therefore, at that time, when Mordecai was staying at the king’s gate, Bagatha and Thara, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were gatekeepers and who presided over the first entryway of the palace, were angry, and they decided to rise up against the king and kill him.
21 Naqueles dias Mordecai, fazendo o seu serviço no palácio, ficou sabendo que Bigtã e Teres, dois eunucos que eram guardas no palácio, estavam zangados com o rei e planejavam matá-lo.
22 But Mordecai did not keep this secret, and immediately he reported it to queen Esther, and she reported it to the king in Mordecai’s name, who had brought the matter to her.
22 Aí Mordecai contou isso à rainha Ester, e ela disse ao rei o que Mordecai havia descoberto.
23 It was inquired into and discovered, and they were both hanged on a gallows. And it was committed to the histories and the chronicles which are delivered in the sight of the king.
23 Houve uma investigação, e descobriu-se que era verdade; então os dois eunucos foram enforcados. E o rei ordenou que fosse registrado um relatório sobre isso no livro em que se escrevia a história do reino.
