以斯帖记 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
末底改求以斯帖帮忙
4 末底改得知这事，就撕裂衣服，披上麻衣，头蒙灰尘，在城中行走，放声痛哭， 2 一直走到宫门前才停住，因为穿麻衣的不可进宫门。 3 王的命令和谕旨传到各省，各地的犹太人极其悲伤，他们禁食、哭泣、哀号，许多人身披麻衣躺在灰中。
4 以斯帖王后的宫女和太监把这事禀告她，她非常难过，便为末底改送去衣服，让他换下麻衣，他却不肯接受。 5 于是，以斯帖把王派来服侍她的一个名叫哈他革的太监召来，叫他去见末底改，查明事情的原委。 6 哈他革就到宫门前的广场见末底改， 7 末底改便将自己的遭遇及哈曼为灭绝犹太人而捐入国库的银子数目都告诉了他。 8 末底改还把一份在书珊城颁布的要消灭犹太人的谕旨抄本交给哈他革，让他给以斯帖看，并嘱咐她去见王，为自己的同胞向王求情。 9 哈他革回去把末底改的话告诉以斯帖。 10 以斯帖便吩咐哈他革回复末底改说： 11 “王的所有臣仆和各省人民都知道有一条法令，不论男女，未蒙宣召擅入内院去见王的必被处死，除非王向他伸出金杖，他才能活命。现在我已有三十天未蒙王召见了。”
12 末底改听到以斯帖捎来的话后， 13 便回复她说：“你别以为在宫里就比其他犹太人安全。 14 如果此时你闭口不语，犹太人必从别处得解脱，蒙拯救，但你和你父亲一家必灭亡。谁知道你得了王后之位不是为了今日之时呢？”
15 以斯帖派人回复末底改说： 16 “你去召集书珊城所有的犹太人为我禁食，三天三夜不吃不喝，我和我的宫女也要这样禁食。然后，我要违例去见王，我若死就死吧。”
17 于是，末底改便去照以斯帖的一切吩咐行事。

4 末底改得知這事，就撕裂衣服，披上麻衣，頭蒙灰塵，在城中行走，放聲痛哭， 2 一直走到宮門前才停住，因為穿麻衣的不可進宮門。 3 王的命令和諭旨傳到各省，各地的猶太人極其悲傷，他們禁食、哭泣、哀號，許多人身披麻衣躺在灰中。
4 以斯帖王后的宮女和太監把這事稟告她，她非常難過，便為末底改送去衣服，讓他換下麻衣，他卻不肯接受。 5 於是，以斯帖把王派來服侍她的一個名叫哈他革的太監召來，叫他去見末底改，查明事情的原委。 6 哈他革就到宮門前的廣場見末底改， 7 末底改便將自己的遭遇及哈曼為滅絕猶太人而捐入國庫的銀子數目都告訴了他。 8 末底改還把一份在書珊城頒佈的要消滅猶太人的諭旨抄本交給哈他革，讓他給以斯帖看，並囑咐她去見王，為自己的同胞向王求情。 9 哈他革回去把末底改的話告訴以斯帖。 10 以斯帖便吩咐哈他革回覆末底改說： 11 「王的所有臣僕和各省人民都知道有一條法令，不論男女，未蒙宣召擅入內院去見王的必被處死，除非王向他伸出金杖，他才能活命。現在我已有三十天未蒙王召見了。」
12 末底改聽到以斯帖捎來的話後， 13 便回覆她說：「你別以為在宮裡就比其他猶太人安全。 14 如果此時你閉口不語，猶太人必從別處得解脫，蒙拯救，但你和你父親一家必滅亡。誰知道你得了王后之位不是為了今日之時呢？」
15 以斯帖派人回覆末底改說： 16 「你去召集書珊城所有的猶太人為我禁食，三天三夜不吃不喝，我和我的宮女也要這樣禁食。然後，我要違例去見王，我若死就死吧。」

모르드개가 에스더의 도움을 구함
4 모르드개는 이 모든 일을 알고 자기 옷을 찢고 삼베 옷을 입은 다음 티끌을 머리에 뒤집어쓰고 대성 통곡하며 성 가운데를 지나
2 궁전 문 앞까지 가서 멈춰 섰는데 이것은 삼베 옷을 입은 사람이 궁전으로 들어갈 수가 없었기 때문이었다.
3 전국 각 도에 황제의 조서가 공포되자 유다 사람들이 크게 통곡하고 금식하며 울부짖었고 수많은 사람들이 삼베 옷을 입은 채 재에 뒹굴었다.
4 에스더의 시녀들과 내시들이 모르드개에 관한 일을 에스더에게 말하자 그녀는 크게 근심하며 모르드개에게 갈아 입을 옷을 보냈으나 그는 그것을 거절하였다.
5 그래서 에스더는 자기를 보살피는 황제의 내시 하닥을 불러 모르드개가 무슨 일로 그처럼 슬퍼하는지 가서 알아 오라고 지시하였다.
6 하닥이 궁전 문 앞 광장에 있는 모르드개에게 갔을 때
7 모르드개는 자기에게 일어난 일과 하만이 유다 사람들을 몰살시키기 위해 국고에 들여놓겠다고 약속한 돈의 정확한 액수까지 말해 주었다.
8 그리고 유다 사람을 몰살하라고 수산성에 내린 조서 사본을 하닥에게 주며 이 모든 상황을 에스더에게 설명하고 에스더가 황제에게 가서 자기 민족을 구해 달라는 간청을 하게 해 달라고 부탁하였다.
9 하닥이 돌아와서 모르드개가 한 말을 에스더에게 보고하자
10 에스더는 하닥에게 다시 가서 모르드개에게 이렇게 말하라고 일러 주었다.
11 “황제의 신하들과 백성들이 다 아는 일이지만 남자든 여자든 부르지도 않았는데 안뜰에 들어가서 황제에게 나아가면 누구든지 죽음을 당하도록 되어 있습니다. 단 한 가지 예외는 황제가 금홀을 내밀었을 때 그 사람이 사는 경우입니다만 황제가 나를 부르지 않은 지가 30일이나 되었습니다.”
12 그가 모르드개에게 에스더의 말을 전하자
13 모르드개는 에스더에게 이런 회답을 보냈다. “네가 황궁에 있다고 해서 모든 유다 사람들 가운데 너 혼자만 살아 남을 줄로 생각하지 말아라.
14 이런 때에 네가 말없이 가만히 있으면 우리 유다 사람들은 다른 방법으로 구원을 받을 것이지만 너와 네 집안은 패망하게 될 것이다. 네가 황후가 된 것이 이런 때를 위한 것인지 누가 아느냐?”
15 그러자 에스더는 모르드개에게 다시 이런 회답을 보냈다.
16 “수산성에 있는 모든 유다 사람들을 모아 아무것도 먹지 말고 마시지도 말며 나를 위해 밤낮 3일 동안 금식하며 기도해 주십시오. 나도 내 시녀들과 함께 금식하겠습니다. 금식 기간이 끝나면 내가 법을 어기는 한이 있더라도 황제에게 나아가겠습니다. 내가 만일 그 일로 죽어야 한다면 기꺼이 죽겠습니다.”
17 그래서 모르드개는 가서 에스더가 말한 것을 다 수행하였다.

Mordecai Persuades Esther to Help
4 When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes,(A) put on sackcloth and ashes,(B) and went out into the city, wailing(C) loudly and bitterly. 2 But he went only as far as the king’s gate,(D) because no one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter it. 3 In every province to which the edict and order of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 When Esther’s eunuchs and female attendants came and told her about Mordecai, she was in great distress. She sent clothes for him to put on instead of his sackcloth, but he would not accept them. 5 Then Esther summoned Hathak, one of the king’s eunuchs assigned to attend her, and ordered him to find out what was troubling Mordecai and why.
6 So Hathak went out to Mordecai in the open square of the city in front of the king’s gate. 7 Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews.(E) 8 He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict for their annihilation, which had been published in Susa, to show to Esther and explain it to her, and he told him to instruct her to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy and plead with him for her people.
9 Hathak went back and reported to Esther what Mordecai had said. 10 Then she instructed him to say to Mordecai, 11 “All the king’s officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned(F) the king has but one law:(G) that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter(H) to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king.”
12 When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai, 13 he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 14 For if you remain silent(I) at this time, relief(J) and deliverance(K) for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”(L)
15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: 16 “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast(M) for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”(N)
17 So Mordecai went away and carried out all of Esther’s instructions.

King James Version
Esther 4
King James Version
4 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
2 And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
3 And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.
5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
9 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
10 Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
11 All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or women, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
12 And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
15 Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,
16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
