1 Now when Maradakay (Mordecai) found out all that was ishah (make), Maradakay (Mordecai) qarai (tore) his clothes, and labash (put) on sackcloth with ashes, and yatzaa (go out / come out) out into the thawak (midst) of the iyar (city), and wailed loudly and bitterly.
2 He bawaa (bring) even panayam (face) the malak (king) shair (gate), for no bawaa (bring) is allowed inside the malak (king) shair (gate) labawash (clothed) with sackcloth.
3 In every madayanah (province), wherever the malak (king) commandment and his dabar (word / matter) nagai (came), there was gadawal (very great/important/mighty) abal (mourning) among the Yahawaday (Jews), and tzawam (fasting), and bakay (weeping), and masapad (wailing); and many yatzai (lay) in sackcloth and ashes.
4 Asathar (Esther's) nairawath (maidens) and her sarayas (eunuchs) bawaa (bring) and nagad (told) her this, and the malakah (queen) was maad (exceedingly) chawal (grieved). She shalach (send) bagad (clothing) to Maradakay (Mordecai), to replace his sackcloth; but he didn't qabal (receive) it.
5 Then Asathar (Esther) qaraa (called) for Hathak (Hathach), one of the malak (king) sarayasay (eunuchs), whom he had imad (appointed) to attend her, and tzawah (commanded) him to go to Maradakay (Mordecai), to find out what this was, and why it was.
6 So Hathak (Hathach) yatzaa (go out / come out) out to Maradakay (Mordecai), to iyar (city) square which panayam (face) before the malak (king) shair (gate).
7 Maradakay (Mordecai) nagad (told) him of all that had qarah (happened) to him, and the exact parashah (sum) of the kasap (money) that Haman (Haman) had amar (said) to shaqal (pay) to the malak (king) ganazay (treasuries) for the abad (destroy / perish) of the Yahawaday (Jews).
8 He also nathan (give) him the parashagan (copy) of the kathab (write) of the dath (decree) that was nathan (give) out in Shawashan (Shushan) to shamad (destroy) them, to show it to Asathar (Esther), and to nagad (declare) it to her, and to urge her to bawaa (bring) in to the malak (king), to chanan (showing favor) supplication to him, and to baqash (make) request panayam (face) him, for her im (nation / people).
9 Hathak (Hathach) bawaa (bring) and nagad (told) Asathar (Esther) the dabaray (words) of Maradakay (Mordecai).
10 Then Asathar (Esther) amar (said) to Hathak (Hathach), and tzawah (gave) him a message to Maradakay (Mordecai):
11 “All the malak (king) ibaday (servant of), and the im (nation / people) of the malak (king) madayanawath (provinces), yadai (know), that whoever, whether ayash (man / husband) or ayashah (woman / wife), bawaa (bring) to the malak (king) into the inner chatzar (court) without being qaraa (called), there is achad (one) dath (law) for him, that he be put to mawath (death), bad (except) those to whom the malak (king) might yashat (hold) out the zahab (gold) scepter, that he may chayah (live). I have not been qaraa (called) to bawaa (bring) in to the malak (king) these shalawashayam (thirty) yawam (day).”
12 They nagad (told) to Maradakay (Mordecai) Asathar (Esther's) dabaray (words).
13 Then Maradakay (Mordecai) asked them shawab (turn) answer to Asathar (Esther), “Don't damah (think) to yourself that you will malat (escape) in the malak (king) bayath (house) any more than all the Yahawaday (Jews).
14 For if you remain charash (silent) now, then relief and hatzalah (deliverance) will come to the Yahawaday (Jews) from achar (other) maqawam (place), but you and your ab (father) bayath (house) will abad (destroy / perish). Who yadai (knows) if you haven't nagai (come) to the malakawath (kingdom) for such a ith (time) as this?”
15 Then Asathar (Esther) asked them to shawab (turn) Maradakay (Mordecai),
16 “Yalak (go), kanas (gather) together all the Yahawaday (Jews) who are matzaa (present) in Shawashan (Shushan), and tzawam (fast) for me, and neither akal (eat) nor shathah (drinks) shalawash (three) yamayam (days), layal (night) or yawam (day). I and my nairah (maidens) will also tzawam (fast) the same kan (for sure). Then I will bawaa (bring) in to the malak (king), which is against the dath (law); and if I abad (destroy / perish), I abad (destroy / perish).”
17 So Maradakay (Mordecai) went his ibar (pass over/through), and ishah (make) according to all that Asathar (Esther) had tzawah (commanded) him.
