Esther - एस्तेर 4 | View All

1. जब मोर्दकै ने जान लिया कि क्या क्या किया गया है तब मोर्दकै वस्त्रा फाड़, टाट पहिन, राख डालकर, नगर के मध्य जाकर ऊंचे और दुखभरे शब्द से चिल्लाने लगा;
मत्ती 11:21

1. When Mordecai learned what had happened, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth and ashes. Then he walked into the centre of the city, wailing loudly and bitterly,

2. और वह राजभवन के फाटक के साम्हने पहुंचा, परन्तु टाट पहिने हुए राजभवन के फाटक के भीतर तो किसी के जाने की आज्ञा न थी।

2. until he arrived in front of the Chancellery, which no one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter.

3. और एक एक प्रान्त में, जहां जहां राजा की आज्ञा और नियम पहुंचा, वहां वहां यहूदी बड़ा विलाप करने और उपवास करने और रोने पीटने लगे; वरन बहुतेरे टाट पहिने और राख डाले हुए पड़े रहे।

3. And in every province, no sooner had the royal command and edict arrived, than among the Jews there was great mourning, fasting, weeping and wailing, and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.

4. और एस्तेर रानी की सहेलियों और खोजों ने जाकर उसको बता दिया, तब रानी शोक से भर गई; और मोर्दकै के पास वस्त्रा भेजकर यह कहलाया कि टाट उतारकर इन्हें पहिन ले, परन्तु उस ने उन्हें न लिया।

4. When Queen Esther's maids and officers came and told her, she was overcome with grief. She sent clothes for Mordecai to put on instead of his sackcloth, but he refused them.

5. तब एस्तेर ने राजा के खोजों में से हताक को जिसे राजा ने उसके पास रहने को ठहराया था, बुलवाकर आज्ञा दी, कि मोर्दकै के पास जाकर मालूम कर ले, कि क्या बात है और इसका क्या कारण है।

5. Esther then summoned Hathach, an officer whom the king had appointed to wait on her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai and enquire what the matter was and why he was acting in this way.

6. तब हताक नगर के उस चौक में, जो राजभवन के फाटक के साम्हने था, मोर्दकै के पास निकल गया।

6. Hathach went out to Mordecai in the city square in front of the Chancellery,

7. मोर्दकै ने उसको सब कुछ बता दिया कि मेरे ऊपर क्या क्या बीता है, और हामान ने यहूदियों के नाश करने की अनुमति पाने के लिये राजभणडार में कितनी चान्दी भर देने का वचन दिया है, यह भी ठीक ठीक बतला दिया।

7. and Mordecai told him what had happened to him personally, and also about the sum of money which Haman had offered to pay into the royal treasury to procure the destruction of the Jews.

8. फिर यहूदियों को विनाश करने की जो आज्ञा शूशन में दी गई थी, उसकी एक नकल भी उस ने हताक के हाथ में, एस्तेर को दिखाने के लिये दी, और उसे सब हाल बताने, और यह आज्ञा देने को कहा, कि भीतर राजा के पास जाकर अपने लोगों के लिये गिड़गिड़ाकर बिनती करे।

8. He also gave him a copy of the edict of extermination published in Susa for him to show Esther for her information, with the message that she was to go to the king and implore his favour and plead with him for the race to which she belonged. (a) 'Remember your humbler circumstances,' he said, 'when you were fed by my hand. Since Haman, the second person in the realm, has petitioned the king for our deaths, (b) invoke the Lord, speak to the king for us and save us from death!'

9. तब हताक ने एस्तेर के पास जाकर मोर्दकै की बातें कह सुनाई।

9. Hathach came back and told Esther what Mordecai had said;

10. तब एस्तेर ने हताक को मोर्दकै से यह कहने की आज्ञा दी,

10. and she replied with the following message for Mordecai,

11. कि राजा के सब कर्मचारियों, वरन राजा के प्रान्तों के सब लोगों को भी मालूम है, कि क्या पुरूष क्या स्त्री कोई क्यों न हो, जो आज्ञा बिना पाए भीतरी आंगन में राजा के पास जाएगा उसके मार डालने ही की आज्ञा है; केवल जिसकी ओर राजा सोने का राजदणड बढ़ाए वही बचता है। परन्तु मैं अब तीस दिन से राजा के पास नहीं बुलाई गई हूँ।

11. 'Royal officials and people living in the provinces alike all know that for anyone, man or woman, who approaches the king in the private apartments without having been summoned there, there is only one law: he must die, unless the king, by pointing his golden sceptre towards him, grants him his life. And I have not been summoned to the king for the last thirty days.'

12. एस्तेर की ये बातें मोर्दकै को सुनाई गई।

12. These words of Esther were reported to Mordecai,

13. तब मोर्दकै ने एस्तेर के पास यह कहला भेजा, कि तू मन ही मन यह विचार न कर, कि मैं ही राजभवन में रहने के कारण और सब यहूदियों में से बची रहूंगी।

13. who sent back the following reply, 'Do not suppose that, because you are in the king's palace, you are going to be the one Jew to escape.

14. क्योंकि जो तू इस समय चुपचाप रहे, तो और किसी न किसी उपाय से यहूदियों का छुटकारा और उठ्ठार हो जाएगा, परन्तु तू अपने पिता के घराने समेत नाश होगी। फिर क्या जाने तुझे ऐसे ही कठिन समय के लिये राजपद मिल गया हो?

14. No; if you persist in remaining silent at such a time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another quarter, but both you and your father's whole family will perish. Who knows? Perhaps you have come to the throne for just such a time as this.'

15. तब एस्तेर ने मोर्दकै के पास यह कहला भेजा,

15. Whereupon Esther sent this reply to Mordecai,

16. कि तू जाकर शूशन के सब यहूदियों को इकट्ठा कर, और तुम सब मिलकर मेरे निमित्त उपवास करो, तीन दिन रात न तो कुछ खाओ, और न कुछ पीओ। और मैं भी अपनी सहेलियों सहित उसी रीति उपवास करूंगी। और ऐसी ही दशा में मैं नियम के विरूद्ध राजा के पास भीतर जाऊंगी; और यदि नाश हो गई तो हो गई।

16. 'Go and assemble all the Jews now in Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink day or night for three days. For my part, I and my waiting-women shall keep the same fast, after which I shall go to the king in spite of the law; and if I perish, I perish.'

17. तब मोर्दकै चला गया और एस्तेर की आज्ञा के अनुसार ही उस ने किया।

17. Mordecai went away and carried out Esther's instructions. (a) Then calling to mind all the wonderful works of the Lord, he offered this prayer: (b) Lord, Lord, Almighty King, everything is subject to your power, and there is no one who can withstand you in your determination to save Israel. (c) You have made heaven and earth, and all the marvels that are under heaven. You are the Master of the universe and no one can resist you, Lord. (d) You know all things, you, Lord, know that neither pride, self-esteem nor vainglory prompted me to do what I have done: to refuse to prostrate myself before proud Haman. Gladly would I have kissed the soles of his feet, had this assured the safety of Israel. (e) But what I have done, I have done, rather than place the glory of a man above the glory of God; and I shall not prostrate myself to anyone except, Lord, to you, and, in so doing, I shall not be acting in pride. (f) And now, Lord God, King, God of Abraham spare your people! For our ruin is being plotted, there are plans to destroy your ancient heritage. (g) Do not overlook your inheritance, which you redeemed from Egypt to be yours. (h) Hear my supplication, have mercy on your heritage, and turn our grief into rejoicing, so that we may live, Lord, to hymn your name. Do not suffer the mouths of those who praise you to perish. (i) And all Israel cried out with all their might, since death was staring them in the face. (k) Queen Esther also took refuge with the Lord in the mortal peril which had overtaken her. She took off her sumptuous robes and put on sorrowful mourning. Instead of expensive perfumes, she covered her head with ashes and dung. She mortified her body severely, and the former scenes of her happiness and elegance were now littered with tresses torn from her hair. She besought the Lord God of Israel in these words: (l) My Lord, our King, the Only One, come to my help, for I am alone and have no helper but you and am about to take my life in my hands. (m) I have been taught from infancy in the bosom of my family that you, Lord, have chosen Israel out of all the nations and our ancestors out of all before them, to be your heritage for ever; and that you have treated them as you promised. (n) But we have sinned against you and you have handed us over to our enemies for paying honour to their gods. Lord, you are upright. (o) But they are not satisfied with the bitterness of our slavery: they have pledged themselves to their idols to abolish the decree that your own lips have uttered, to blot out your heritage, to stop the mouths of those who praise you, to quench your altar and the glory of your House, (p) and instead to open the mouths of the heathen, to sing the praise of worthless idols and for ever to idolise a king of flesh. (q) Do not yield your sceptre, Lord, to what does not exist. Never let our ruin be matter for laughter. Turn these plots against their authors, and make an example of the man who leads the attack on us. (r) Remember, Lord; reveal yourself in the time of our distress. As for me, give me courage, King of gods and Master of all powers! (s) Put persuasive words into my mouth when I face the lion; change his feeling into hatred for our enemy, so that he may meet his end, and all those like him! (t) As for ourselves, save us by your hand, and come to my help, for I am alone and have no one but you, Lord. (u) You have knowledge of all things, and you know that I hate honours from the godless, that I loathe the bed of the uncircumcised, of any foreigner whatever. (w) You know I am under constraint, that I loathe the symbol of my high position bound round my brow when I appear at court; I loathe it as if it were a filthy rag and do not wear it on my days of leisure. (x) Your servant has not eaten at Haman's table, nor taken pleasure in the royal banquets, nor drunk the wine of libations. (y) Nor has your servant found pleasure from the day of her promotion until now except in you, Lord, God of Abraham. (z) O God, whose strength prevails over all, listen to the voice of the desperate, save us from the hand of the wicked, and free me from my fear!
