                                    1 Men da der var gået nogen Tid, og Kong Ahasverus's Vrede havde lagt sig, kom han til at tænke på Vasjti, og hvad hun havde gjort, og hvad der var besluttet om hende.                                

                                    1 After these things when the anger of King Ahasuerus had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.

                                    2 Da sagde Kongens Folk, der gik ham til Hånde: Man bør søge efter unge, smukke Jomfruer til Kongen;                                

                                    2 Then the king’s attendants, who served him, said, “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.

                                    3 og Kongen bør overdrage Folk i alle sit Riges Dele det Hverv at samle alle unge, smukke Jomfruer og sende dem til Fruerstuen i Borgen Susan og der lade dem stille under Opsyn af Kongens Hofmand Hegaj, som vogter Kvinderne; lad dem så gennemgå Skønhedsplejen,                                

                                    3 Let the king appoint overseers in all the provinces of his kingdom that they may gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem, into the custody of Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let their cosmetics be given them.

                                    4 og den unge Pige, Kongen synes om, skal være Dronning i Vasjtis Sted. Det Forslag var godt i Hongens Øjne, og han gjorde derefter.                                

                                    4 Then let the young lady who pleases the king be queen in place of Vashti.” And the matter pleased the king, and he did accordingly.

                                    5 Nu var der i Borgen Susao en jødisk Mand ved Navn Mordokaj, en Søn af Ja'ir, en Søn af Sjim'i, en Søn af Kisj, en Benjaminit,                                

                                    5 Now there was at the citadel in Susa a Jew whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,

                                    7 Han var Plejefader for Hadassa - det er Ester - hans Farbroders Datter; thi hun havde hverken Fader eller Moder. Den unge Pige havde en smuk Skikkelse og så godt ud; og efter hendes Forældres Død havde Mordokaj taget hende til sig i Datters Sted.                                

                                    7 He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young lady was beautiful of form and face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.

                                    8 Da nu Kongens Befaling og Bud blev kendt, og mange unge Piger samledes i Borgen Susan, hvor de stilledes under Opsyn af Hegaj, blev også Ester bragt til Kongens Hus og stillet under Opsyn af Hegaj, som vogtede Kvinderne.                                

                                    8 So it came about when the command and decree of the king were heard and many young ladies were gathered to the citadel of Susa into the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken to the king’s palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women.

                                    9 Pigen tiltalte ham og vandt hans Yndest, og så hurtigt som muligt lod han Skønhedsplejen foretage på hende og gav hende den Kost, hun skulde have, og stillede tillige de syv dertil udsete Piger fra Kongens Hus til hendes Tjeneste; og han lod hende og Pigerne flytte til den bedste Del af Fruerstuen.                                

                                    9 Now the young lady pleased him and found favor with him. So he quickly provided her with her cosmetics and food, gave her seven choice maids from the king’s palace and transferred her and her maids to the best place in the harem.

                                    10 Ester røbede imidlertid ikke sit Folk og sin Slægt, thi det havde Mordokaj forbudt hende.                                

                                    10 Esther did not make known her people or her kindred, for Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make them known.

                                    11 Og Mordokaj gik Dag efter Dag frem og tilbage foran Fruerstuens Gård for at få at vide, hvorledes Ester havde det, og hvorledes det gik hende.                                

                                    11 Every day Mordecai walked back and forth in front of the court of the harem to learn how Esther was and how she fared.

                                    12 Nu var det således, at når en af de unge Pigers Tid til at gå ind til Kong Ahasverus kom, efter at hun i tolv Måneder var behandlet efter Forskriften for Kvinderne sålang Tid tog nemlig Skønhedsplejen; seks Måneder blev de behandlet med Myrraolie og andre seks Måneder med vellugtende Stoffer og de andre Skønhedsmidler, som bruges af Kvinder                                

                                    12 Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women—for the days of their beautification were completed as follows: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women—

                                    13 når så den unge Pige gik ind til Kongen, gav man hende alt, hvad hun bad om, med fra Fruerstuen til Kongens Hus.                                

                                    13 the young lady would go in to the king in this way: anything that she desired was given her to take with her from the harem to the king’s palace.

                                    14 Hun gik da derind om Aftenen, og næste Morgen vendte hun tilbage og kom så ind i den anden Fruerstue og blev stillet under Opsyn af Sja'asjgaz, den kongelige Hofmand, som vogtede Medhustruerne; så kom hun ikke mere til Kongen, medmindre Kongen havde syntes særlig godt om hende og hun udtrykkelig blev kaldt til ham.                                

                                    14 In the evening she would go in and in the morning she would return to the second harem, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch who was in charge of the concubines. She would not again go in to the king unless the king delighted in her and she was summoned by name.

                                    15 Da nu Tiden kom til, at Ester, en Datter af Abihajil, der var Farbroder til Mordokaj, som havde taget hende til sig i Datters Sted, skulde gå ind til Kongen, krævede hun ikke andet, end hvad Hegaj, den kongelige Hofmand, som vogtede Kvinderne, rådede til. Og Ester vandt Yndest hos alle, som så hende.                                

                                    15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai who had taken her as his daughter, came to go in to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai, the king’s eunuch who was in charge of the women, advised. And Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.

                                    16 Så blev Ester hentet til Kong Ahasverus i hans kongelige Palads i den tiende Måned, det er Tebet Måned, i hans syvende Regeringsår.                                

                                    16 So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus to his royal palace in the tenth month which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

                                    17 Og Kongen fik Ester kærere end alle de andre Kvinder, og hun vandt hans Yndest og Gunst mere end alle de andre Jomfruer. Og han satte et kongeligt Diadem på hendes Hoved og gjorde hende til Dronning i Vasjtis Sted.                                

                                    17 The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

                                    18 Derpå gjorde Kongen et stort Gæstebud for alle sine Fyrster og Folk til Ære for Ester, og han eftergav Straf i sine Lande og uddelte Gaver, som det sømmede sig en Konge.                                

                                    18 Then the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his princes and his servants; he also made a holiday for the provinces and gave gifts according to the king’s bounty.

                                    19 When the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate.

                                    20 Ester havde, som Mordokaj havde pålagt hende, intet røbet om sin Slægt og sit Folk; thi Ester gjorde, hvad Mordokaj sagde, som hun havde gjort, da hun var i Pleje hos ham                                

                                    20 Esther had not yet made known her kindred or her people, even as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther did what Mordecai told her as she had done when under his care.

                                    21 som Mordokaj ved den Tid engang sad i Kongens Port, blev Bigtan og Teresj, to kongelige Hofmænd, der hørte til Dørvogterne, vrede på Kong Ahasverus og søgte Lejlighed til at lægge Hånd på ham.                                

                                    21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s officials from those who guarded the door, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

                                    22 Det fik Mordokaj at vide og meddelte Dronning Ester det; og Ester sagde det til Kongen fra Mordokaj.                                

                                    22 But the plot became known to Mordecai and he told Queen Esther, and Esther informed the king in Mordecai’s name.

                                    23 Sagen blev undersøgt, og da den havde sin Rigtighed, blev de begge hængt i en Galge. Det blev optegnet i Krøniken i Kongens Påsyn. ﻿                                

                                    23 Now when the plot was investigated and found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the Book of the Chronicles in the king’s presence.
