Esther 8
1 That day the king gave all the family of Haman, the hater of the Jews, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had made clear what he was to her.
Istoga dana dade car Asvir carici Jestiri kuæu Amana neprijatelja Judejskoga. A Mardohej izide pred cara, jer Jestira kaza šta joj je on;
2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther put Mordecai over the family of Haman.
I car snimiv prsten svoj, koji bješe uzeo od Amana, dade ga Mardoheju; a Jestira postavi Mardoheja nad kuæom Amanovom.
3 Then Esther again came before the king, falling down at his feet, and made request to him with weeping, that he would put a stop to the evil purposes of Haman the Agagite and the designs which he had made against the Jews.
Potom Jestira opet govori caru i padnuvši pred noge njegove i plaèuæi moljaše ga da ukloni zloæu Amana Agageja i misao njegovu koju bješe smislio na Judejce.
4 Then the king put out the rod of gold to Esther, and she got up before the king.
Tada car pruži zlatnu palicu prema Jestiri, i Jestira usta i stade pred carem,
5 And she said, If it is the king's pleasure and if I have his approval and this thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing to him, then let letters be sent giving orders against those which Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, sent out for the destruction of the Jews in all divisions of the kingdom:
I reèe: ako je ugodno caru i ako sam našla milost pred njim, i ako je pravo pred carem i ako sam mu mila, neka se piše da se poreku knjige u kojima je misao Amana sina Amedatina, Agageja, koje je raspisao da se istrijebe Judejci što su po svijem zemljama carevijem.
6 For how is it possible for me to see the evil which is to overtake my nation? how may I see the destruction of my people?
Jer kako bih mogla gledati zlo koje bi zadesilo moj narod? i kako bih mogla gledati da se potre rod moj?
7 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on the Jews.
A car Asvir reèe carici Jestiri i Mardoheju Judejcu: eto, dao sam kuæu Amanovu Jestiri a njega su objesili na vješala zato što šæaše dignuti ruku svoju na Judejce.
8 So now send a letter about the Jews, writing whatever seems good to you, in the king's name, and stamping it with the king's ring: for a writing signed in the king's name and stamped with the king's ring may not be changed.
Vi dakle pišite za Judejce kako vam je drago u ime carevo i zapeèatite prstenom carevijem; jer što se piše u ime carevo i zapeèati prstenom carevijem ne može se poreæi.
9 Then at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, the king's scribes were sent for; and everything ordered by Mordecai was put in writing and sent to the Jews and the captains and the rulers and the chiefs of all the divisions of the kingdom from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven divisions, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing and their language.
I dozvaše pisare careve u isto vrijeme, treæega mjeseca, koje je mjesec Sivan, dvadeset treæega dana, i pisa se sve, kako zapovjedi Mardohej, Judejcima i namjesnicima i knezovima i upraviteljima po zemljama, od Indije do Etiopije, sto i dvadeset i sedam zemalja, u svaku zemlju njezinijem pismom i svakom narodu njegovijem jezikom, i Judejcima njihovijem pismom i njihovijem jezikom.
10 The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses:
A napisa u ime cara Asvira i zapeèati prstenom carevijem, i razasla knjige po glasnicima koji jahahu na brzijem konjma i na mladijem mazgama:
11 In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives, and to send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force,
Da je car dopustio Judejcima što su u kome god gradu da se skupe i brane život svoj, da potru i pobiju i istrijebe svaku vojsku kojega mu drago naroda i zemlje, koji bi udarili na njih, i djecu njihovu i žene njihove, a imanje njihovo da razgrabe.
12 On one day in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, that is, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.
U isti dan po svijem zemljama cara Asvira, trinaestoga dana mjeseca dvanaestoga, koje je mjesec Adar.
13 A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.
U knjigama se govoraše da se oglasi zapovijest po svijem zemljama i da se objavi svijem narodima da Judejci budu gotovi za onaj dan da se osvete svojim neprijateljima.
14 So the men went out on the quick-running horses used on the king's business, wasting no time and forced on by the king's order; and the order was given out in Shushan, the king's town.
Glasnici koji jahahu na brzijem konjma i mazgama otidoše brzo i hitno po zapovijesti carevoj; i zapovijest bi oglašena u Susanu carskom gradu.
15 And Mordecai went out from before the king, dressed in king-like robes of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold and clothing of purple and the best linen: and all the town of Shushan gave loud cries of joy.
A Mardohej otide od cara u carskom odijelu ljubièastom i bijelom i pod zlatnijem vijencem velikim i u plaštu od tankoga platna i skerleta, i grad Susan radovaše se i veseljaše se.
16 And the Jews had light and joy and honour.
Judejcima doðe svjetlost i veselje i radost i slava.
17 And in every part of the kingdom and in every town, wherever the king's letter and his order came, the Jews were glad with great joy, and had a feast and a good day. And a great number of the people of the land became Jews: for the fear of the Jews had come on them.
I u svakoj zemlji i u svakom gradu, gdje god doðe zapovijest careva i naredba njegova, bješe radost i veselje meðu Judejcima, gozba i blagi dani, i mnogi iz naroda zemaljskih postajahu Judejci, jer ih popade strah od Jevreja.
