A Escolhida

The Chosen One

A Escolhida

It happened that the king's decree was proclaimedSucedeu que divulgando-se o mandado do rei
And his law regarding the choice of the youngest queenE a sua lei acerca da escolha da mais nova rainha
Who would assume the throne in place of VashtiQue assumiria o trono em lugar de Vasti
Many young and beautiful virginsMuitas moças virgens e formosas
Were chosen and taken to the royal palaceForam escolhidas e levadas ao palácio real
Among them was Esther, a young Jewish girl, simple and poorDentre essas estava Ester, jovem judia simples e pobre
When her turn cameChegando a sua vez
Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw herAlcançou Ester graça diante de todos que a viam
Men and women, great and smallHomens e mulheres, grandes e pequenos
Were amazed by Esther's beautySe admiravam da beleza de Ester
So Esther was brought before King AhasuerusAssim foi levada Ester a presença do rei Assuero
To his royal palaceÀ sua casa real

And when the king saw the beautiful 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, finding favor in herE lhe pôs a coroa real, graça nela ele achou

And the king said: Make a great invitationE disse o rei: Faça-se um grande convite
To all the princes and their servantsA todos os príncipes e aos seus servos
For Esther's feastPara a festa de Ester
And he gave rest to the provincesE deu repouso as províncias
And gave gifts according to royal customE deu presentes segundo o costume real
For the queen had been chosenPorquanto escolhida foi a rainha

He raises, exalts, transforms, elevates, and operatesLevanta, exalta, transforma, eleva e opera
The simple and humble to the throne He raisesA simples e humilde ao trono Ele eleva
Just to give victory to the faithfulSó pra dar vitória a quem é fiel
Whether poor, Jewish, you can't, your God has a crownSe é pobre, judia, não pode, teu Deus tem coroa
When He is pleased, He gives good thingsQuando se agrada Ele dá coisa boa
He gave a throne and crown to Queen EstherDeu trono e coroa a rainha Ester

It is God who has a crown, a crown of goldÉ Deus quem tem coroa, coroa de ouro
A crown of honor, a crown of glory, a crown of victoryCoroa de honra, coroa de glória, coroa de vitória
That exalts and lifts up whom He desiresQue exalta e levanta a quem Ele quer
He humbles the proud, makes the weak strongHumilha o soberbo, do fraco faz o forte
He makes a small one greatPequeno faz um grande
Vashti loses the crown because she was arrogantVasti perde a coroa porque foi arrogante
Power, wealth, and kingdom belong to GodPoder, riqueza e reino pertencem a Deus
