1After these things, when the wrath of kingAhasuerus was appeased, he rememberedVashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
1 After these things, when the king's feelings were calmer, the thought of Vashti and what she had done and the order he had made against her, came back to his mind.
1 그 후에 아하수에로왕의 노가 그치매 와스디와 그의 행한 일과 그에 대하여 내린 조서를 생각하거늘
2 Then said the king'sservants that ministered unto him, Let there be fairㆍyoungvirginssought for the king:
2 Then the servants who were waiting on the king said to him, Let search be made for some fair young virgins for the king:
2 왕의 시신이 아뢰되 왕은 왕을 위하여 아리따운 처녀들을 구하게 하시되
3 And let the kingappointofficers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fairㆍyoungvirgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king'schamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be giventhem:
3 Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;
3 전국 각 도에 관리를 명령하여 아리따운 처녀를 다 도성 수산으로 모아 후궁으로 들여 궁녀를 주관하는 내시 헤개의 손에 붙여 그 몸을 정결케 하는 물품을 주게 하시고
4 And let the maiden which pleasethㆍ the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thingpleasedㆍ the king; and he did so.
4 And let the girl who is pleasing to the king be queen in place of Vashti. And the king was pleased with this suggestion; and he did so.
4 왕의 눈에 아름다운 처녀로 와스디를 대신하여 왕후를 삼으소서 왕이 그 말을 선히 여겨 그대로 행하니라
5Now in Shushan the palace there was a certainJew, whose namewasMordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
5 Now there was a certain Jew in Shushan named Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
5 도성 수산에 한 유다인이 있으니 이름은 모르드개라 저는 베냐민 자손이니 기스의 증손이요 시므이의 손자요 야일의 아들이라
6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiahking of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
6 Who had been taken away from Jerusalem among those who had been made prisoner with Jeconiah, king of Judah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken him away.
6 전에 바벨론 왕 느부갓네살이 예루살렘에서 유다 왕 여고냐와 백성을 사로잡아 갈 때에 모르드개도 함께 사로잡혔더라
7 And he brought upHadassah, that is,Esther, his uncle'sdaughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maidwasfairandbeautifulㆍ; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
7 And he had been a father to Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his father's brother: for she had no father or mother, and she was very beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his daughter.
7 저의 삼촌의 딸 하닷사 곧 에스더는 부모가 없고 용모가 곱고 아리따운 처녀라 그 부모가 죽은 후에 모르드개가 자기 딸 같이 양육하더라
8 So it came to pass, when the king'scommandment and his decree was heard, and when manymaidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king'shouse, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
8 So when the order made by the king was publicly given out, and a number of girls had been placed in the care of Hegai in the king's house in Shushan, Esther was taken into the king's house and put in the care of Hegai, the keeper of the women.
8 왕의 조명이 반포되매 처녀들이 도성 수산에 많이 모여 헤개의 수하에 나아갈 때에 에스더도 왕궁으로 이끌려 가서 궁녀를 주관하는 헤개의 수하에 속하니
9 And the maidenpleasedㆍ him, and she obtainedkindness of him; and he speedilygave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and sevenmaidens, which weremeet to be given her, out of the king'shouse: and he preferred her and her maids unto the bestplace of the house of the women.
9 And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.
9 헤개가 이 처녀를 기뻐하여 은혜를 베풀어 몸을 정결케 할 물품과 일용품을 곧 주며 또 왕궁에서 의례히 주는 일곱 궁녀를 주고 에스더와 그 궁녀들을 후궁 아름다운 처소로 옮기더라
10Esther had not showed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not showit.
10 Esther had not said what family or people she came from, for Mordecai had given her orders not to do so.
10 에스더가 자기의 민족과 종족을 고하지 아니하니 이는 모르드개가 명하여 고하지 말라 하였음이라
11 And Mordecaiwalked every daybefore the court of the women'shouse, to know how Estherdid, and what should become of her.
11 And every day Mordecai took his walk before the square of the women's house, to see how Esther was and what would be done to her.
11 모르드개가 날마다 후궁 뜰 앞으로 왕래하며 에스더의 안부와 어떻게 될 것을 알고자 하더라
12 Now when every maid'sturn was come to go in to kingAhasuerus, after that she had been twelveㆍmonths, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purificationsaccomplished, to wit,sixmonths with oil of myrrh, and sixmonths with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
12 Now every girl, when her turn came, had to go in to King Ahasuerus, after undergoing, for a space of twelve months, what was ordered by the law for the women (for this was the time necessary for making them clean, that is, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet perfumes and such things as are needed for making women clean):
12 처녀마다 차례대로 아하수에로왕에게 나아가기 전에 여자에 대하여 정한 규례대로 열 두달 동안을 행하되 여섯달은 몰약 기름을 쓰고 여섯달은 향품과 여자에게 쓰는 다른 물품을 써서 몸을 정결케 하는 기한을 마치며
13 Then thus cameeverymaiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king'shouse.
13 And in this way the girl went in to the king; whatever she had a desire for was given to her to take with her from the women's house into the house of the king.
13 처녀가 왕에게 나아갈 때에는 그 구하는 것을 다 주어 후궁에서 왕궁으로 가지고 가게 하고
14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the secondhouse of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king'schamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the kingdelighted in her, and that she were called by name.
14 In the evening she went, and on the day after she came back to the second house of the women, into the keeping of Shaashgaz, one of the king's unsexed servants who had the care of the king's wives: only if the king had delight in her and sent for her by name did she go in to him again.
14 저녁이면 갔다가 아침에는 둘째 후궁으로 돌아와서 비빈을 주관하는 내시 사아스가스의 수하에 속하고 왕이 저를 기뻐하여 그 이름을 부르지 아니하면 다시 왕에게 나아가지 못하더라
15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she requirednothing but what Hegai the king'schamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Estherobtainedfavour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
15 Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And Esther was looked on kindly by all who saw her.
15 모르드개의 삼촌 아비하일의 딸 곧 모르드개가 자기의 딸 같이 양육하는 에스더가 차례대로 왕에게 나아갈 때에 궁녀를 주관하는 내시 헤개의 정한 것 외에는 다른것을 구하지 아니하였으나 모든 보는 자에게 굄을 얻더라
16 So Esther was taken unto kingAhasuerus into his houseroyal in the tenthmonth, which is the monthTebeth, in the seventhyear of his reign.
16 So Esther was taken in to King Ahasuerus in his house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his rule.
16 아하수에로왕의 칠년 시월 곧 데벳월에 에스더가 이끌려 왕궁에 들어가서 왕의 앞에 나아가니
17 And the kinglovedEsther above all the women, and she obtainedgrace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royalcrown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
17 And Esther was more pleasing to the king than all the women, and to his eyes she was fairer and more full of grace than all the other virgins: so he put his crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.
17 왕이 모든 여자보다 에스더를 더욱 사랑하므로 저가 모든 처녀보다 왕의 앞에 더욱 은총을 얻은지라 왕이 그 머리에 면류관을 씌우고 와스디를 대신하여 왕후를 삼은 후에
18 Then the kingmade a greatfeast unto all his princes and his servants, evenEsther'sfeast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gavegifts, according to the state of the king.
18 Then the king gave a great feast for all his captains and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he gave orders through all the divisions of his kingdom for a day of rest from work, and gave wealth from his store.
18 왕이 크게 잔치를 베푸니 이는 에스더를 위한 잔치라 모든 방백과 신복을 향응하고 또 각 도의 세금을 면제하고 왕의 풍부함을 따라 크게 상 주니라
19 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecaisat in the king'sgate.
19 And when the virgins came together in the second house of the women, Mordecai took his seat in the doorway of the king's house.
19 처녀들을 다시 모을 때에는 모르드개가 대궐 문에 앉았더라
20Esther had not yetshowed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Estherdid the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.
20 Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders; for Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.
20 에스더가 모르드개의 명한대로 그 종족과 민족을 고하지 아니 하니 저가 모르드개의 명을 양육 받을 때와 같이 좇음이더라
21 In those days, while Mordecaisat in the king'sgate, two of the king'schamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to layhand on the kingAhasuerus.
21 In those days, while Mordecai was seated at the king's doorway, two of the king's servants, Bigthan and Teresh, keepers of the door, being angry, were looking for a chance to make an attack on King Ahasuerus.
21 모르드개가 대궐 문에 앉았을 때에 문 지킨 왕의 내시 빅단과 데레스 두 사람이 아하수에로왕을 원한하여 모살하려 하거늘
22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who toldit unto Esther the queen; and Esthercertified the kingthereof in Mordecai'sname.
22 And Mordecai, having knowledge of their purpose, sent word of it to Esther the queen; and Esther gave the news to the king in Mordecai's name.
22 모르드개가 알고 왕후 에스더에게 고하니 에스더가 모르드개의 이름으로 왕에게 고한지라
23 And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were bothhanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chroniclesㆍbefore the king.
23 And when the thing had been looked into, it was seen to be true, and the two of them were put to death by hanging on a tree: and it was put down in the records before the king.
23 사실하여 실정을 얻었으므로 두 사람을 나무에 달고 그 일을 왕의 앞에서 궁중 일기에 기록하니라
