1 Nang maalaman nga ni Mardocheo ang lahat na nagawa, hinapak ni Mardocheo ang kaniyang suot, at nanamit ng kayong magaspang na may mga abo, at lumabas sa gitna ng bayan, at humiyaw ng malakas at kalagimlagim na hiyaw:
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.
3 At sa bawa't lalawigan, na kinararatingan ng utos ng hari at ng kaniyang pasiya, ay nagkaroon ng malakas na panangisan sa gitna ng mga Judio, at ng pagaayuno, at ng iyakan at ng taghuyan; at marami ay nagsipanamit ng kayong magaspang at mga abo.
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 At ang mga dalaga ni Esther at ang kaniyang mga kamarero ay nagsiparoon, at isinaysay sa kaniya; at ang reina ay namanglaw na mainam: at siya'y nagpadala ng bihisan upang isuot ni Mardocheo, at upang hubarin ang kaniyang kayong magaspang: nguni't hindi niya tinanggap.
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 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Esther si Atach, na isa sa mga kamarero ng hari, na siya niyang inihalal na magingat sa kaniya, at binilinan niyang pumaroon kay Mardocheo, upang maalaman kung ano yaon, at kung bakit gayon.
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.
7 At isinaysay sa kaniya ni Mardocheo ang lahat na nangyari sa kaniya, at ang lubos na kabilangan ng salapi na ipinangako ni Aman na ibayad sa mga ingatang-yaman ng hari hinggil sa mga Judio, upang lipulin sila.
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 Binigyan din niya siya ng salin ng pasiya na natanyag sa Susan upang lipulin sila, upang ipakilala kay Esther, at ipahayag sa kaniya: at upang ibilin sa kaniya na siya'y paroon sa hari upang mamanhik sa kaniya, at upang hingin sa kaniya, dahil sa kaniyang bayan.
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.
11 Lahat ng lingkod ng hari at ang bayan ng mga lalawigan ng hari ay nangakakaalam, na sinoman, maging lalake o babae, na paroroon sa hari sa pinakaloob na looban, na hindi tinatawag, may isang kautusan sa kaniya, na siya'y patayin, liban yaong paglawitan ng hari ng gintong cetro, upang siya'y mabuhay: nguni't hindi ako tinawag na paroon sa hari ng tatlong pung araw na ito.
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.”
13 Nang magkagayo'y pinapagbalik ng sagot sila ni Mardocheo kay Esther: Huwag mong isipin sa iyong sarili na ikaw ay makatatanan sa bahay ng hari, ng higit kay sa lahat na mga Judio.
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 Sapagka't kung ikaw ay lubos na tumahimik sa panahong ito, ay magtataglay nga ng katiwasayan at kaligtasan ang mga Judio sa ibang dako, nguni't ikaw at ang sangbahayan ng iyong magulang ay mapapahamak: at sinong nakakaalam na kung kaya ka pinasapit sa kaharian ay dahil sa bagay na ito?
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?”
16 Ikaw ay yumaon, pisanin mo ang lahat na Judio, na nangakaharap sa Susan, at ipagayuno ninyo ako, at huwag kayong magsikain o magsiinom man na tatlong araw, gabi o araw; ako naman at ang aking mga dalaga ay mangagaayuno ng gayon ding paraan; at sa gayo'y papasukin ko ang hari, na hindi ayon sa kautusan: at kung ako'y mamatay ay mamatay.
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.”
