A Escolhida

It happened that the king's decree was announcedSucedeu que divulgando-se o mandado do rei
And his law about choosing the youngest queenE a sua lei acerca da escolha da mais nova rainha
Who would take the throne in place of VashtiQue assumiria o trono em lugar de Vasti
Many beautiful and pure young womenMuitas moças virgens e formosas
Were chosen and taken to the royal palaceForam escolhidas e levadas ao palácio real
Among them was Esther, a simple and poor Jewish girlDentre essas estava Ester, jovem judia simples e pobre
When her turn cameChegando a sua vez
Esther found favor in the eyes of everyone who saw herAlcançou Ester graça diante de todos que a viam
Men and women, great and small admired Esther's beautyHomens e mulheres, grandes e pequenos se admiravam da beleza de Ester
Thus, Esther was brought before King Xerxes in his royal houseAssim, foi levada Ester à presença do Rei Assuero à sua casa real

And when the King saw the lovely and gentle Esther pass byE quando o Rei viu passar a bela e meiga Ester
Of all the virgins he saw, she was the most beautifulDe todas as virgens que viu a mais bela ela é
The King loved Esther and was pleased with herO Rei amou a Ester e dela se agradou
And he placed the royal crown on her, found grace in herE lhe pôs a coroa real, graça nela achou

And the king said: Let a grand invitation be madeE disse o rei: Faça-se um grande convite
To all the princes and their servantsA todos os príncipes e aos seus servos

And he gave rest to the provincesE deu repouso as províncias
And gave gifts according to royal customE deu presentes segundo o costume real
