Esther 3
1 After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the rulers that were with him.
Pēc tam ķēniņš Ahasverus paaugstināja Amanu, Medatus dēlu, to Agaģieti, un to cēla augsti, un lika viņa krēslu pār visiem lielkungiem, kas pie viņa bija.
2 And all the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down, nor do him reverence.
Un visi ķēniņa kalpi, kas ķēniņa vārtos bija, locījās un klanījās Amana priekšā, jo ķēniņš tā viņa pēc bija pavēlējis; bet Mardakajs nelocījās un neklanījās.
3 Then the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why do thou transgress the king's commandment?
Tad ķēniņa kalpi, kas bija ķēniņa vārtos, sacīja uz Mardakaju: kāpēc tu pārkāpi ķēniņa pavēli?
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not hearken to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand, for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Un tā tie ikdienas uz viņu runāja, bet viņš tiem neklausīja. Tad tie to stāstīja Amanam, ka redzētu, vai tāda Mardakaja pretestība pastāvētu, - jo tas viņiem bija stāstījis, ka viņš esot Jūds.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor do him reverence, then Haman was full of wrath.
Kad nu Amans redzēja, ka Mardakajs nelocījās un viņa priekšā neklanījās, tad Amans palika ļoti dusmīgs.
6 But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Bet viņam šķita vēl maz esam, roku pielikt pie Mardakaju vien, (jo tie viņam bija izteikuši Mardakaja cilti, ) bet Amans meklēja izdeldēt visus Jūdus pa visu Ahasverus valsti, Mardakaja tautu.
7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Pirmā mēnesī, (tas ir Nīsana mēnesis, ) ķēniņa Ahasverus divpadsmitā gadā, meta meslus, tas ir pur, priekš Amana ikdienas un ik mēnešus līdz tam divpadsmitam mēnesim, tas ir Adara mēnesis.
8 And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom, and their laws are diverse from those of every people, nor do they keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to endure them.
Un Amans sacīja uz ķēniņu Ahasveru: viena tauta ir izkaisīta un izdalīta starp ļaudīm visās tavas valsts tiesās, un viņiem ir citāda bauslība, nekā visiem citiem ļaudīm, un ķēniņa pavēli tie nedara, tāpēc ķēniņam nepieklājās tos ieredzēt.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed. And I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who have the charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
Ja ķēniņam patīk, tad lai raksta, ka tie kļūst izdeldēti, tad es tiem mantas uzraugiem desmit tūkstoš talentus sudraba iesvēršu rokā, lai to nes ķēniņa mantas namā.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Tad ķēniņš novilka savu gredzenu no savas rokas un to deva Agaģietim Amanam, Medatus dēlam, Jūdu pretiniekam.
11 And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to thee.
Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Amanu: tas sudrabs lai tev paliek, arī tie ļaudis, ka tu ar tiem dari, kā tev patīk.
12 Then the king's scribes were called in the first month, on the thirteenth day of it. And there was written according to all that Haman commanded to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the rulers of every people, to every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, in the name of king Ahasuerus it was written. And it was sealed with the king's ring.
Tad ķēniņa skrīveri tapa saaicināti, trīspadsmitā dienā pirmā mēnesī, un tapa rakstīts, tā kā Amans pavēlēja, uz ķēniņa valdītājiem un zemes valdniekiem, kas bija pār ikkatru valsti, un uz ikkatras tautas virsniekiem, ikvienai valstij pēc viņas valodas un ikvienai tautai pēc viņas mēles; ķēniņa Ahasverus vārdā tas tapa rakstīts un ar ķēniņa gredzenu aizzieģelēts.
13 And letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little sons and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
Un tās grāmatas tapa sūtītas caur skrējējiem pa visām ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīm, ka visi Jūdi taptu izdeldēti, nokauti un nomaitāti, gan jauni, gan veci, bērniņi un sievas, vienā dienā, trīspadsmitā dienā divpadsmitā mēnesī, tas ir Adara mēnesis, un ka viņu manta taptu laupīta.
14 A copy of the writing that the decree should be given out in every province was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
Tais grāmatās bija rakstīts: ka pavēle dota visās valstīs, ka visiem ļaudīm nāktu zināms, lai tie tai pašā dienā būtu gatavi.
15 The posts went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
Un tie skrējēji izgāja steigšus pēc ķēniņa vārda; un tā pavēle bija dota Sūsanas pilī. Un ķēniņš un Amans sēdēja un dzēra, bet Sūsanas pilsēta iztrūcinājās.
