ગુજરાતીએસ્તેર ૪:૩
જ્યાં જ્યાં રાજાની આજ્ઞા તથા ફરમાન જાહેર કરવામાં આવ્યાં તે બધા પ્રાંતોમાં યહૂદીઓમાં મોટો શોક, ઉપવાસ, વિલાપ તથા કલ્પાંત પ્રસરી રહ્યાં. અને ઘણાં તો ટાટ તથા રાખ પાથરીને તેમાં સૂઈ રહ્યાં.
हिन्दीएस्तेर ४:३
एक-एक प्रान्त में, जहाँ-जहाँ राजा की आज्ञा और नियम पहुँचा, वहाँ-वहाँ यहूदी बड़ा विलाप करने और उपवास करने और रोने पीटने लगे; वरन् बहुत से टाट पहने और राख डाले हुए पड़े रहे।

In context

1Now when Mordecai found out all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the middle of the city, and wailed loudly and bitterly.

2He came even before the king’s gate, for no one is allowed inside the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.

3In every province, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

4Esther’s maidens and her eunuchs came and told her this, and the queen was exceedingly grieved. She sent clothing to Mordecai, to replace his sackcloth, but he didn’t receive it.

5Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs, whom he had appointed to attend her, and commanded him to go to Mordecai, to find out what this was, and why it was.
