Ester 2
CPDV: Catholic Public Domain Version (SM_CPDV) vs VC
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 Quando, pouco depois, a cólera do rei se acalmou, pensou em Vasti, no que ela tinha feito e na decisão que tomara a respeito dela.
2 And the servants of the king, and his ministers, said, “Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful,
2 Então as pessoas do séquito do rei disseram:
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 Que se procurem para o rei donzelas virgens, belas de aspecto; que o rei envie pessoas a todas as províncias de seu reino, para reunir todas as jovens virgens de belo aspecto e trazê-las a Susa, sua capital, ao harém, sob a vigilância de Hegai, eunuco do rei e encarregado das mulheres, que providenciará às necessidades de seu toucador.
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 A jovem que souber agradar ao rei se tornará rainha em lugar de Vasti. Isso agradou ao rei que seguiu esse conselho.
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 Ora, havia em Susa, a capital, um judeu chamado Mardoqueu, filho de Jair, filho de Semei, filho de Cis, 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 que tinha sido trazido de Jerusalém entre os cativos deportados com Jeconias, rei de Judá, por Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia.
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 Era o tutor de Edissa - isto é, Ester, - filha de seu tio, órfã de pai e mãe. A moça era de belo porte e agradável de aspecto; na morte de seus pais, Mardoqueu a tinha adotado por 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 Logo que foi publicado o edito do rei, numerosas jovens foram reunidas em Susa, a capital, sob a guarda de Hegai. Ester também foi levada ao palácio e posta sob a guarda de Hegai, o encarregado das mulheres.
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 A jovem lhe agradou e ganhou suas graças; tanto que ele se apressou a lhe proporcionar ungüentos e perfumes para seu toucador e adorno. Deu-lhe sete companheiras, escolhidas na casa do rei, reservando a elas o melhor apartamento do gineceu.
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 não tinha revelado sua raça nem sua família, porque Mardoqueu lhe tinha proibido falar disso.
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 Cada dia ele passeava diante do pátio do gineceu para ter notícias de Ester e saber o que lhe acontecia.
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 Toda jovem começava por sujeitar-se, durante doze meses, à lei das mulheres. Nesse período se purificavam seis meses com óleo de mirra, e seis meses com cosméticos e outros bálsamos em uso entre as mulheres.
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 Depois disso, quando chegava a vez de cada uma entrar junto ao rei, podia, ao passar do gineceu ao palácio, tomar consigo tudo o que queria.
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 Admitida à tarde, se retirava pela manhã a um outro palácio das mulheres, sob a guarda de Chaasgaz, o eunuco do rei posto à frente das concubinas. E não voltava mais junto ao rei, se ele não tivesse manifestado o desejo, chamando-a expressamente.
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 entrar junto ao rei. A filha de Abigail {tio desse Mardoqueu que a tinha adotado por filha}, não pediu nada além do que lhe foi dado por Hegai, eunuco do rei, encarregado das mulheres. Mas ela ganhava as boas graças de todos os que a viam.
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 Foi levada junto ao rei Assuero, a seu palácio. Era o décimo mês {mês de Tebet}, do ano sétimo 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 O rei amou-a mais que todas as outras mulheres; e ganhou ela as graças e o favor real mais que todas as demais jovens. Tanto que o rei colocou sobre sua cabeça o diadema real e a fez 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 O rei deu um grande banquete a todos os seus príncipes e a seus servos em honra de Ester; concedeu um dia de descanso a seus Estados e fez benefícios verdadeiramente reais.
19 And when the virgins were sought for the second time and gathered together, Mordecai remained at the king’s gate.
19 Na segunda vez que reuniram as jovens, Mardoqueu se achava sentado à porta do rei.
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 Obedecendo à proibição de seu tutor, Ester não tinha revelado nem sua família, nem sua raça. Obedecia ainda a Mardoqueu, como quando estava sob a sua tutela.
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 Naquele tempo, pois, Mardoqueu se sentava à porta do palácio. Ora, dois eunucos do rei, Bigtã e Tares, guardas da entrada, cedendo ao ressentimento, pensaram levantar sua mão contra o rei.
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 o soube e deu parte à rainha Ester, e esta o referiu ao rei da parte 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 Examinado o assunto e reconhecido como certo, foram os dois eunucos suspensos numa forca. E se consignou o fato nas Crônicas, em presença do rei.
