Notes on this text (3)

1 Posle toga, kad se utiša gnev cara Asvira, on se opomenu Astine i šta je učinila i šta je naređeno za nju. 2 I rekoše momci carevi, sluge njegove: Da potraže caru mladih devojaka lepih; 3 i neka odredi car pristave po svim zemljama carstva svog da skupe sve devojke mlade i lepe u Susan grad carski u ženski dvor pod ruku Igaja dvoranina carevog, čuvara ženskog, i neka im se daju potrebe za lepotu. 4 Pa koja devojka bude po volji caru, neka bude carica na Astinino mesto. I to bi po volji caru, i učini tako. 5 Beše u Susanu, carskom gradu Judejac po imenu Mardohej, sin Jaira sina Simeja sina Kisovog, od plemena Venijaminovog, 6 koji bi odveden u ropstvo iz Jerusalima s robljem koje bi odvedeno u ropstvo s Jehonijom carem Judinim, kog zarobi Navuhodonosor, car vavilonski. 7 On odgajaše Adasu, a to je Jestira, kći strica njegovog, jer ne imaše oca ni matere; a devojka beše lepog stasa i krasnog lica, i po smrti oca joj i matere uze je Mardohej za kćer. 8 I kad se razglasi reč careva i zapovest, i mnogo se devojaka skupi u Susan grad carski pod ruku Igajevu, bi i Jestira dovedena u dvor carev, pod ruku Igaja čuvara ženskog. 9 I devojka mu omile i nađe milost u njega, te joj odmah dade potrebe za lepotu i deo njen, i sedam pristalih devojaka iz carskog doma, i namesti je s njenim devojkama na najlepše mesto u ženskom domu. 10 Jestira ne kaza narod svoj ni rod svoj, jer joj Mardohej beše zabranio da ne kazuje. 11 A Mardohej hodaše svaki dan ispred trema od ženskog doma da bi doznao kako je Jestira i šta će biti od nje. 12 A kad bi došao red na koju devojku da uđe k caru Asviru, pošto bi joj se činilo po ženskom zakonu dvanaest meseca (jer toliko vremena trebaše da se ulepšavaju, šest meseca uljem od smirne, a šest meseca mirisima i drugim stvarima za lepotu žensku), 13 tada bi devojka išla k caru, i šta bi god rekla dalo bi joj se da s tim ide iz ženske kuće u dom carev. 14 Uveče bi ušla, a ujutru bi se vratila u drugu kuću žensku pod ruku Sazgaza dvoranina carevog, čuvara inočkog; više ne bi išla k caru, već ako bi je hteo car, te bi bila pozvana po imenu. 15 I tako, kad dođe red na Jestiru, kćer Avihaila strica Mardohejevog, koju beše uzeo za kćer, da uđe k caru, ona ne zaiska ništa nego šta reče Igaj dvoranin carev, čuvar ženski; i Jestira nalažaše milost u svakog ko je viđaše. 16 Tako bi Jestira odvedena k caru Asviru u carski dvor njegov desetog meseca, koje je mesec Tevet, sedme godine carovanja njegovog. 17 I caru omile Jestira mimo sve druge žene, i pridobi milost i ljubav njegovu mimo sve devojke, te joj metnu carski venac na glavu i učini je caricom na mesto Astinino. 18 I učini car veliku gozbu svim knezovima svojim i slugama svojim radi Jestire, i pokloni zemljama olakšice, i razdade darove kako car može. 19 A kad se drugom skupljahu devojke, Mardohej seđaše na vratima carevim. 20 A Jestira ne kaza svoj rod ni narod, kao što joj beše zapovedio Mardohej, i Jestira činjaše šta joj Mardohej govoraše, kao kad se odgajaše kod njega. 21 U te dane, kad Mardohej seđaše na vratima carevim, rasrdiše se Vihtan i Tares, dva dvoranina careva između onih koji stražahu na pragu, i gledahu da dignu ruke na cara Asvira. 22 A to dozna Mardohej i javi carici Jestiri, a Jestira kaza caru u ime Mardohejevo. 23 I kad se stvar izvide i nađe, biše obešena ona obojica na drvo, i to se zapisa u knjigu dnevnika pred carem.
