Ester 2
CPDV: Catholic Public Domain Version (SM_CPDV) vs NVT
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 Passada a indignação de Xerxes, ele começou a pensar em Vasti, naquilo que ela havia feito e no decreto que ele havia publicado.
2 And the servants of the king, and his ministers, said, “Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful,
2 Então seus conselheiros sugeriram: “Permita que procuremos em todo o império moças belas e virgens para o rei.
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 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 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 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 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 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 who had been carried away from Jerusalem at the time that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon carried away Jeconiah king of Judah,
6 Sua família estava entre aqueles que, com Joaquim, rei de Judá, tinham sido deportados de Jerusalém para a Babilônia pelo rei Nabucodonosor.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Mardoqueu havia instruído Ester a não revelar a ninguém sua nacionalidade nem a origem de sua família.
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, Mardoqueu caminhava perto do pátio do harém para saber notícias de Ester e descobrir o que estava acontecendo.
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 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 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 sua vez de ir aos aposentos reais, podia escolher do harém as roupas e as joias 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, 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 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 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 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 rei Xerxes no palácio real no mês de dezembro, no sétimo ano de 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 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 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 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 And when the virgins were sought for the second time and gathered together, Mordecai remained at the king’s gate.
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 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 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 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 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 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 Mardoqueu, porém, soube do plano e transmitiu a informação à rainha Ester, que contou ao rei em nome de Mardoqueu.
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 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 .
