                                    1 Da Mordokaj fik at vide alt, hvad der var sket, sønderrev han sine Klæder, klædte sig i Sæk og Aske og gik ud i Byen og udstødte høje Veråb;                                

                                    1 When Mordecai learned all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city and wailed loudly and bitterly.

                                    2 og han kom hen på Pladsen foran Kongens Port, men heller ikke længere, fordi det ikke var tilladt at gå ind i Kongens Port, når man var klædt i Sæk.                                

                                    2 He went as far as the king’s gate, for no one was to enter the king’s gate clothed in sackcloth.

                                    3 Og i hver eneste Landsdel, overalt, hvor Kongens Bud og Forordning nåede hen, var der blandt Jøderne stor Sorg og Faste, Gråd og Klage, og mange af dem redte sig et Leje af Sæk og Aske.                                

                                    3 In each and every province where the command and decree of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing; and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.

                                    4 Da nu Esters Piger og Hofmænd kom og fortalte hende det, grebes Dronningen af heftig Smerte; og hun sendte Klæder ud til Mordokaj, for at man skulde give ham dem på og tage Sørgeklæderne af ham; men han tog ikke imod dem.                                

                                    4 Then Esther’s maidens and her eunuchs came and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish. And she sent garments to clothe Mordecai that he might remove his sackcloth from him, but he did not accept them.

                                    5 Da lod Ester Hatak, en af Kongens Hofmænd, som han havde stillet til hendes Tjeneste, kalde, og sendte ham til Mordokaj for at få at vide, hvad det skulde betyde, og hvad Grunden var dertil.                                

                                    5 Then Esther summoned Hathach from the king’s eunuchs, whom the king had appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was.

                                    6 Da Hatak kom ud til Mordokaj på Byens Torv foran Kongens Port,                                

                                    6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai to the city square in front of the king’s gate.

                                    7 fortalte Mordokaj ham alt, hvad der var hændt ham, og opgav ham nøje, hvor meget Sølv Haman havde lovet at tilveje Kongens Skatkamre for at få Lov til at tilintetgøre Jøderne.                                

                                    7 Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact amount of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

                                    8 Desuden gav han ham en Afskrift af Skrivelsen med den den i Susan udgåede Forordning om at udrydde dem, for at han skulde vise Ester den og tilkendegive hende det og pålægge hende at gå ind til Kongen og bede ham om Nåde og gå i Forbøn hos ham for sit Folk.                                

                                    8 He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict which had been issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show Esther and inform her, and to order her to go in to the king to implore his favor and to plead with him for her people.

                                    9 Halak gik så ind og lod Ester vide, hvad Mordokaj havde sagt.                                

                                    9 Hathach came back and related Mordecai’s words to Esther.

                                    10 Men Ester sendte Halak til Mordokaj med følgende Svar:                                

                                    10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him to reply to Mordecai:

                                    11 Alle Kongens Tjenere og Folkene i Kongeos Lande ved, at der for enhver, Mand eller Kvinde, som ukaldet går ind til Kongen i den inderste Gård, kun gælder een Lov, den, at han skal lide Døden, medmindre Kongen rækker sit gyldne Septer ud imod ham; i så Fald beholder han Livet. Men jeg har nu i tredive Dage ikke været kaldt til Kongen!                                

                                    11 “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court who is not summoned, he has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days.”

                                    12 Da han havde meddelt Mordokaj Esters Ord,                                

                                    12 They related Esther’s words to Mordecai.

                                    13 bød Mordokaj ham svare Ester: "Tro ikke, at du alene af alle Jøder skal undslippe, fordi du er i Kongens Hus!                                

                                    13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace can escape any more than all the Jews.

                                    14 Nej, dersom du virkelig tier ved denne Lejlighed, så kommer der andetsteds fra Hjælp og Redning til Jøderne; men du og din Slægt skal omkomme. Hvem ved, om det ikke netop er for sligt Tilfældes Skyld, at du er kommet til kongelig Værdighed!                                

                                    14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?”

                                    15 Da sendte Ester Mordokaj det Svar:                                

                                    15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai,

                                    16 Gå hen og kald alle Susans Jøder sammen og hold Faste for mig, således at I hverken spiser eller drikker Dag eller Nat i tre Døgn; på samme Måde vil også jeg og mine Terner faste; og derefter vil jeg gå ind til Kongen, skønt det er imod Loven; skal jeg omkomme, så lad mig da omkomme!                                

                                    16 “Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

                                    17 Så gik Mordokaj hen og gjorde ganske som Ester havde pålagt ham. ﻿                                

                                    17 So Mordecai went away and did just as Esther had commanded him.
