Ester 1	Esther 1
Ester 1:1 Sucedeu nos dias de Assuero, o Assuero que reinou desde a Índia até a Etiópia, sobre cento e vinte e seis províncias,	Esther 1:1 Now it came about in the days of Ahasuerus, (that Ahasuerus who was ruler of a hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom, from India as far as Ethiopia:)
Ester 1:2 que, estando o rei Assuero assentado no seu trono do seu reino em Susã, a capital,	Esther 1:2 That in those days, when King Ahasuerus was ruling in Shushan, his strong town,
Ester 1:3 no terceiro ano de seu reinado, deu um banquete a todos os seus príncipes e seus servos, estando assim perante ele o poder da Pérsia e da Média, os nobres e os oficiais das províncias.	Esther 1:3 In the third year of his rule he gave a feast to all his captains and his servants; and the captains of the army of Persia and Media, the great men and the rulers of the divisions of his kingdom, were present before him;
Ester 1:4 Nessa ocasião ostentou as riquezas do seu glorioso reino, e o esplendor da sua excelente grandeza, por muitos dias, a saber cento e oitenta dias.	Esther 1:4 And for a long time, even a hundred and eighty days, he let them see all the wealth and the glory of his kingdom and the great power and honour which were his.
Ester 1:5 E, acabado aqueles dias, deu o rei um banquete a todo povo que se achava em Susã, a capital, tanto a grandes como a pequenos, por sete dias, no pátio do jardim do palácio real.	Esther 1:5 And at the end of that time, the king gave a feast for all the people who were present in Shushan, the king's town, small as well as great, for seven days, in the outer square of the garden of the king's house.
Ester 1:6 As cortinas eram de pano branco verde e azul celeste, atadas com cordões de linho fino e de púrpura a argola de prata e a colunas de mármore; os leitos eram de ouro e prata sobre um pavimento mosaico de pórfiro, de mármore, de madrepérola e de pedras preciosas.	Esther 1:6 There were fair hangings of white and green and blue, fixed with cords of purple and the best linen to silver rings and pillars of polished stone: the seats were of gold and silver on a floor of red and white and yellow and black stone.
Ester 1:7 Dava-se de beber em copos de ouro, os quais eram diferentes uns dos outros; e havia vinho real em abundância, segundo a generosidade do rei.	Esther 1:7 And they gave them drink in gold vessels, every vessel being different, and wine of the kingdom, freely given by the king.
Ester 1:8 E bebiam como estava prescrito, sem constrangimento; pois o rei tinha ordenado a todos os oficiais do palácio que fizessem conforme a vontade de cada um.	Esther 1:8 And the drinking was in keeping with the law; no one was forced: for the king had given orders to all the chief servants of his house to do as was pleasing to every man.
Ester 1:9 Também a rainha Vasti deu um banquete às mulheres no palácio do rei Assuero.	Esther 1:9 And Vashti the queen gave a feast for the women in the house of King Ahasuerus.
Ester 1:10 Ao sétimo dia, o rei, estando já o seu coração alegre do vinho, mandou a Meumã, Bizta, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zétar e Carcás, os sete eunucos que serviam na presença do rei Assuero,	Esther 1:10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was glad with wine, he gave orders to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven unsexed servants who were waiting before Ahasuerus the king,
Ester 1:11 que introduzissem à presença do rei a rainha Vasti, com a coroa real, para mostrar aos povos e aos príncipes a sua formosura, pois era formosíssima.	Esther 1:11 That Vashti the queen was to come before him, crowned with her crown, and let the people and the captains see her: for she was very beautiful.
Ester 1:12 A rainha Vasti, porém, recusou atender à ordem do rei dada por intermédio dos eunucos; pelo que o rei muito se enfureceu, e se inflamou de ira.	Esther 1:12 But when the servants gave her the king's order, Vashti the queen said she would not come: then the king was very angry, and his heart was burning with wrath.
Ester 1:13 Então perguntou o rei aos sábios que conheciam os tempos (pois assim se tratavam os negócios do rei, na presença de todos os que sabiam a lei e o direito;	Esther 1:13 And the king said to the wise men, who had knowledge of the times, (for this was the king's way with all who were expert in law and in the giving of decisions:
Ester 1:14 e os mais chegados a ele eram: Carsena, Setar, Admata, Társis, Meres, Marsena, Memucã, os sete príncipes da Pérsia e da Média, que viam o rosto do rei e ocupavam os primeiros assentos no reino)	Esther 1:14 And second only to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven rulers of Persia and Media, who were friends of the king, and had the first places in the kingdom:)
Ester 1:15 o que se devia fazer, segundo a lei, à rainha Vasti, por não haver cumprido a ordem do rei Assuero dada por intermédio dos eunucos.	Esther 1:15 What is to be done by law to Vashti the queen, because she has not done what King Ahasuerus, by his servants, gave her orders to do?
Ester 1:16 Respondeu Memucã na presença do rei e dos príncipes: Não somente contra o rei pecou a rainha Vasti, mas também contra todos os príncipes, e contra todos os povos que há em todas as províncias do rei Assuero.	Esther 1:16 And before the king and the captains, Memucan gave his answer: Vashti the queen has done wrong, not only to the king, but to all the captains and to all the peoples in all the divisions of the kingdom of King Ahasuerus;
Ester 1:17 Pois o que a rainha fez chegará ao conhecimento de todas as mulheres, induzindo-as a desprezarem seus maridos quando se disser: O rei Assuero mandou que introduzissem à sua presença a rainha Vasti, e ela não veio.	Esther 1:17 For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.
Ester 1:18 E neste mesmo dia as princesas da Pérsia e da Média, sabendo do que fez a rainha, dirão o mesmo a todos os príncipes do rei; e assim haverá muito desprezo e indignação.	Esther 1:18 And the wives of the captains of Persia and Media, hearing what the queen has done, will say the same to all the king's captains. So there will be much shame and wrath.
Ester 1:19 Se bem parecer ao rei, saia da sua parte um edito real, e escreva-se entre as leis dos persas e dos medos para que não seja alterado, que Vasti não entre mais na presença do rei Assuero, e dê o rei os seus direitos de rainha a outra que seja melhor do que ela.	Esther 1:19 If it is pleasing to the king, let an order go out from him, and let it be recorded among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it may never be changed, that Vashti is never again to come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her place to another who is better than she.
Ester 1:20 E quando o decreto que o rei baixar for publicado em todo o seu reino, grande como é, todas as mulheres darão honra a seus maridos, tanto aos nobres como aos humildes.	Esther 1:20 And when this order, given by the king, is made public through all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give honour to their husbands, great as well as small.
Ester 1:21 Pareceu bem este conselho ao rei e aos príncipes; e o rei fez conforme a palavra de Memucã,	Esther 1:21 And this suggestion seemed good to the king and the captains; and the king did as Memucan said;
Ester 1:22 enviando cartas a todas as províncias do rei, a cada província segundo o seu modo de escrever e a cada povo segundo a sua língua, mandando que cada homem fosse senhor em sua casa, e que falasse segundo a língua de seu povo.	Esther 1:22 And sent letters to all the divisions of the kingdom, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs, saying that every man was to be the ruler in his house, and that this order was to be given out in the language of his people.
