Estera 9
1 Trinaestoga dana dvanaestog mjeseca, mjeseca Adara, kad je morala biti izvršena odredba kraljevog ukaza, istoga dana u koji su se neprijatelji Židova nadali zavladati nad njima dogodi se obrnuto: Židovi zavladaše nad neprijateljima svojim.
So in the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar, vpon the thirteenth daye of the same, when the Kings commandement and his decree drew neere to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Iewes hoped to haue power ouer them (but it turned contrary: for the Iewes had rule ouer them that hated them)
2 Židovi se sakupiše po svojim gradovima u svim pokrajinama kralja Ahasvera da udare na one koji su tražili njihovu propast. I nitko se nije usuđivao da im pruži otpor, jer je sve narode spopao strah od Židova.
The Iewes gathered themselues together into their cities throughout all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, to lay hande on such as sought their hurt, and no man coulde withstande them: for the feare of them fel vpon al people.
3 Svi su knezovi pokrajina i namjesnici, upravljači i činovnici kraljevi štitili Židove jer ih je obuzeo strah od Mordokaja.
And all the rulers of the prouinces, and the princes and the captaines, and the officers of the King exalted the Iewes: for the feare of Mordecai fell vpon them.
4 Jer je Mordokaj postao velik na kraljevskom dvoru, i po svim pokrajinama širio se glas da Mordokaj postaje sve moćniji.
For Mordecai was great in the kings house, and the report of him went through all the prouinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5 Židovi, dakle, udariše mačem po svim svojim neprijateljima, sasjekoše ih i zatrše; sa svojim mrziteljima postupiše kako im se htjelo.
Thus the Iewes smote all their enemies with strokes of the sworde and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they woulde vnto those that hated them.
6 Samo u tvrđavi Suzi smakoše i zatrše Židovi pet stotina ljudi;
And at Shushan the palace slewe the Iewes and destroyed fiue hundreth men,
7 pogubiše Paršandatu, Dalfona, Aspatu,
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Poratu, Adaliju, Aridatu,
And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parmaštu, Arisaja, Aridaja, Jezatu
And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaiezatha,
10 i deset sinova Hamana, sina Hamdatina, progonitelja Židova. Ali se ne pojagmiše za plijenom.
The ten sonnes of Haman, ye sonne of Ammedatha, the aduersarie of the Iewes slewe they: but they layd not their hands on the spoyle.
11 Toga istog dana, doznavši za broj ubijenih u tvrđavi Suzi,
On the same day came ye nomber of those that were slayne, vnto the palace of Shushan before the King.
12 kralj reče kraljici Esteri: "U tvrđavi Suzi Židovi su smaknuli i uništili pet stotina ljudi i deset Hamanovih sinova. Što su tek onda izveli u ostalim pokrajinama kraljevim? Koja je sada molba tvoja? Bit će uslišana! Koja je tvoja želja? Bit će ispunjena!"
And the King sayd vnto the Queene Ester, The Iewes haue slayne in Shushan the palace and destroyed fiue hundreth men, and the ten sonnes of Haman: what haue they done in the rest of the Kings prouinces? and what is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? or what is thy request moreouer, that it may be performed?
13 "Ako je kralju po volji," reče Estera, "neka se Židovima koji žive u Suzi dopusti još sutra primijeniti isti zakon kao i danas i neka se objesi deset Hamanovih sinova."
Then sayd Ester, If it please the King, let it be granted also to morow to the Iewes that are in Shushan, to do according vnto this daies decree, that they may hang vpon ye tree Hamans ten sonnes.
14 Kralj naredi da se tako učini: zakon bi u Suzi proglašen i deset Hamanovih sinova obješeno.
And the King charged to doe so, and the decree was giuen at Shushan, and they hanged Hamans ten sonnes.
15 Tako se Židovi Suze sakupiše i četrnaestoga dana mjeseca Adara pa pobiše u Suzi još tri stotine ljudi. Ali se ni tada ne pojagmiše za plijenom.
So the Iewes that were in Shushan, assembled themselues vpon the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and slew three hundreth men in Shushan, but on the spoyle they layd not their hand.
16 Ostali Židovi, oni koji su živjeli u kraljevskim pokrajinama, sakupiše se da brane svoje živote i mir od neprijatelja: pobiše sedamdeset i pet tisuća dušmana. Ali se ni tada ne pojagmiše za plijenom. Bio je trinaesti dan mjeseca Adara.
And the rest of the Iewes that were in the Kings prouinces assembled themselues, and stood for their liues, and had rest from their enemies, and slewe of them that hated them, seuentie and fiue thousand: but they layd not their hand on the spoyle.
17 Četrnaestoga dana Židovi su mirovali: to bijaše dan gozbe i veselja.
This they did on the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar, and rested the fourteenth day thereof, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
18 Židovi u Suzi koji su se sakupili trinaestoga i četrnaestoga dana mirovahu petnaestoga dana; to je bio dan njihova veselja i gozbi.
But the Iewes that were in Shushan assembled themselues on the thirteenth day, and on the fourteenth therof, and they rested on the fifteenth of the same, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
19 Zbog toga Židovi pripoljci, oni koji žive po neutvrđenim selima, blagdanski svetkuju četrnaesti dan mjeseca Adara veseleći se i gozbujući i među sobom izmjenjujući darove. a A koji žive u gradovima slave i petnaesti dan Adara u razdraganosti i u veselju, izmjenjujući među sobom darove.
Therefore the Iewes of the villages that dwelt in the vnwalled townes, kept the foureteenth day of the moneth Adar with ioy and feasting, euen a ioyfull day, and euery one sent presents vnto his neighbour.
20 Mordokaj opisa te događaje i upravi pisma Židovima svih blizih i dalekih pokrajina kralja Ahasvera.
And Mordecai wrote these words, and sent letters vnto all the Iewes that were through all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, both neere and farre,
21 Naložio im je da četrnaesti i petnaesti dan mjeseca Adara svake godine slave
Inioyning them that they shoulde keepe the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, euery yeere.
22 kao dane u kojima su Židovi postigli spokoj od svojih neprijatelja i kao mjesec koji je bio pretvorio u radost njihovu tugu a u blagdan njihovo žalovanje. Neka ih slave gozbom i veseljem, izmjenjujući među sobom darove i dijeleći poklone ubogima.
According to the dayes wherein the Iewes rested from their enemies, and the moneth which was turned vnto them from sorowe to ioy, and from mourning into a ioyfull day, to keepe them the dayes of feasting, and ioy, and to sende presents euery man to his neyghbour, and giftes to the poore.
23 Židovi prihvatiše da drže ono što su već sami od sebe počeli slaviti i o čemu im je pisao Mordokaj:
And the Iewes promised to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written vnto them,
24 "Haman, sin Hamdatin, Agađanin, progonitelj svih Židova, kako je bio naumio sve ih uništiti, baci 'Pur', to jest ždrijeb, za njihovo smaknuće i zator;
Because Haman the sonne of Hammedatha the Agagite al the Iewes aduersarie, had imagined against the Iewes, to destroy them, and had cast Pur (that is a lot) to consume and destroy them.
25 ali kad je za njegovu zamisao doznao kralj, on pismeno naredi: 'Neka se na njegovu glavu obori opaki naum što ga bijaše zasnovao protiv Židova i neka bude obješen, on i sinovi njegovi.'"
And when she came before the King, he commanded by letters, Let this wicked deuise (which he imagined against the Iewes) turne vpon his owne head, and let them hang him and his sonnes on the tree.
26 Zbog toga su ti dani nazvani Purim, prema riječi Pur. Zato prema svem sadržaju toga pisma i prema onome što su vidjeli i što im bijaše preneseno
Therfore they called these dayes Purim, by the name of Pur, and because of all the wordes of this letter, and of that which they had seene besides this, and of that which had come vnto them.
27 Židovi se neopozivo obvezaše i prihvatiše za se, za svoje potomke i za sve one koji se s njima budu udružili da će svake godine slaviti ta dva dana prema tom propisu i u to vrijeme.
The Iewes also ordeined, and promised for them and for their seede, and for all that ioyned vnto them, that they would not faile to obserue those two dayes euery yeere, according to their writing, and according to their season,
28 Te dane valja slaviti i njih se sjećati od pokoljenja do pokoljenja u svakoj obitelji, pokrajini i gradu; ti dani Purima ne smiju iščeznuti ispred Židova, ni spomen na njih biti izbrisan iz njihova roda.
And that these dayes shoulde be remembred, and kept throughout euery generation and euery familie, and euery prouince, and euery citie: euen these daies of Purim should not faile among the Iewes, and the memoriall of them should not perish from their seede.
29 Kraljica Estera, kći Abihailova, i Židov Mordokaj pisali su to što snažnije da tako još jednom potkrijepe pismo o Purimu.
And the Queene Ester ye daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Iew wrote with al authoritie (to cofirme this letter of Purim ye second time)
30 Pisma su poslali svim Židovima u sto dvadeset i sedam pokrajina Ahasverova kraljevstva s porukom mira i vjernosti;
And he sent letters vnto al the Iewes to the hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces of the kingdome of Ahashuerosh, with words of peace and trueth,
31 da obdržavaju te dane Purima u njihovo određeno vrijeme, kako su to odredili Židov Mordokaj i kraljica Estera, i da drže post i molitve, onako kako su to oni obvezali sebe i svoje potomke.
To confirme these dayes of Purim, according to their seasons, as Mordecai the Iewe and Ester the Queene had appointed them, and as they had promised for them selues and for their seede with fasting and prayer.
32 Tako Esterina naredba ozakoni ove propise Purima i to bi zapisano u knjigu.
And the decree of Ester confirmed these words of Purim, and was written in the booke.
