< Esther 9 >
1 Now on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, when the time came for the king's order to be put into effect, on the very day when the haters of the Jews had been hoping to have rule over them; though the opposite had come about, and the Jews had rule over their haters;
E no mez duodecimo, que é o mez d'adar, no dia treze do mesmo mez em que chegou a palavra do rei e a sua ordem para a executar, no dia em que os inimigos dos judeos esperavam assenhorear-se d'elles, succedeu o contrario, porque os judeos foram os que se assenhorearam dos seus aborrecedores.
2 On that day, the Jews came together in their towns through all the divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, for the purpose of attacking all those who were attempting evil against them: and everyone had to give way before them, for the fear of them had come on all the peoples.
Porque os judeos nas suas cidades, em todas as provincias do rei Assuero, se ajuntaram para pôr as mãos n'aquelles que procuravam o seu mal: e nenhum parou diante d'elles; porque o seu terror caiu sobre todos aquelles povos.
3 And all the chiefs and the captains and the rulers and those who did the king's business gave support to the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had come on them.
E todos os maioraes das provincias, e os satrapas, e os governadores, e os que faziam a obra do rei, exaltavam os judeos porque tinha caido sobre elles o temor de Mardoqueo.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and word of him went out through every part of the kingdom: for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.
Porque Mardoqueo era grande na casa do rei, e a sua fama sahia por todas as provincias; porque o homem Mardoqueo se ia engrandecendo.
5 So the Jews overcame all their attackers with the sword and with death and destruction, and did to their haters whatever they had a desire to do.
Feriram pois os judeos a todos os seus inimigos, ás cutiladas da espada, e da matança e da destruição: e fizeram dos seus aborrecedores o que quizeram.
6 And in Shushan the Jews put to death five hundred men.
E na fortaleza de Susan mataram e destruiram os judeos quinhentos homens;
7 They put to death Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Como tambem a Parsandatha, e a Dalphon, e a Aspatha,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
E a Poratha, e a Adalia, e a Aridatha,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
E a Pharmasta, e a Arisai, e a Aridai, e a Vaizatha:
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the hater of the Jews; but they put not a hand on any of their goods.
Os dez filhos d'Haman, filho d'Hammedatha, o inimigo dos judeos, mataram, porém ao despojo não estenderam a sua mão.
11 On that day the number of those who had been put to death in the town of Shushan was given to the king.
No mesmo dia veiu perante o rei o numero dos mortos na fortaleza de Susan.
12 And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have put five hundred men to death in Shushan, as well as the ten sons of Haman: what then have they done in the rest of the kingdom! Now what is your prayer? for it will be given to you; what other request have you? and it will be done.
E disse o rei á rainha Esther: Na fortaleza de Susan mataram e destruiram os judeos quinhentos homens, e os dez filhos d'Haman; nas mais provincias do rei que fariam? qual é pois a tua petição, e dar-se-te-ha; ou qual é ainda o teu requerimento? e far-se-ha.
13 Then Esther said, If it is the king's pleasure, let authority be given to the Jews in Shushan to do tomorrow as has been done today, and let orders be given for the hanging of Haman's ten sons.
Então disse Esther: Se bem parecer ao rei, conceda-se tambem ámanhã aos judeos que se acham em Susan que façam conforme ao mandado d'hoje: e enforquem os dez filhos d'Haman n'uma forca.
14 And the king said that this was to be done, and the order was given out in Shushan, and the hanging of Haman's ten sons was effected.
Então disse o rei que assim se fizesse; e deu-se um edicto em Susan, e enforcaram os dez filhos d'Haman.
15 For the Jews who were in Shushan came together again on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and put to death three hundred men in Shushan; but they put not a hand on their goods.
E ajuntaram-se os judeos que se achavam em Susan tambem no dia quatorze do mez d'adar, e mataram em Susan a trezentos homens: porém ao despojo não estenderam a sua mão.
16 And the other Jews in every division of the kingdom came together, fighting for their lives, and got salvation from their haters and put seventy-five thousand of them to death; but they did not put a hand on their goods.
Tambem os demais judeos que se achavam nas provincias do rei se ajuntaram para se pôrem em defeza da sua vida, e tiveram repouso dos seus inimigos; e mataram dos seus aborrecedores setenta e cinco mil; porém ao despojo não estenderam a sua mão.
17 This they did on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same month they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
Succedeu isto no dia treze do mez d'adar: e repousaram no dia quatorze do mesmo, e fizeram d'aquelle dia dia de banquetes e d'alegria.
18 But the Jews in Shushan came together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth day of the month; and on the fifteenth day they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
Tambem os judeos, que se achavam em Susan se ajuntaram nos dias treze e quatorze do mesmo: e repousaram no dia quinze do mesmo, e fizeram d'aquelle dia dia de banquetes e d'alegria.
19 So the Jews of the country places living in unwalled towns make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of feasting and joy and a good day, a day for sending offerings one to another.
Os judeos porém das aldeias, que habitavam nas villas, fizeram do dia quatorze do mez d'adar dia d'alegria e de banquetes, e dia de folguedo, e de mandarem presentes uns aos outros.
20 And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, near and far,
E Mardoqueo escreveu estas coisas, e enviou cartas a todos os judeos que se achavam em todas as provincias do rei Assuero, aos de perto, e aos de longe,
21 Ordering them to keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and the fifteenth day of the same month, every year,
Ordenando-lhes que guardassem o dia quatorze do mez d'adar, e o dia quinze do mesmo, todos os annos,
22 As days on which the Jews had rest from their haters, and the month which for them was turned from sorrow to joy, and from weeping to a good day: and that they were to keep them as days of feasting and joy, of sending offerings to one another and good things to the poor.
Conforme aos dias em que os judeos tiveram repouso dos seus inimigos; e ao mez que se lhes mudou de tristeza em alegria, e de luto em dia de folguedo; para que os fizessem dias de banquetes e d'alegria, e de mandarem presentes uns aos outros, e aos pobres dadivas.
23 And the Jews gave their word to go on as they had been doing and as Mordecai had given them orders in writing;
E se encarregaram os judeos de fazerem o que já tinham começado, como tambem o que Mardoqueo lhes tinha escripto.
24 Because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of all the Jews, had made designs for their destruction, attempting to get a decision by Pur (that is, chance) with a view to putting an end to them and cutting them off;
Porque Haman, filho d'Hammedatha, o agagita, inimigo de todos os judeos, tinha intentado destruir os judeos; e tinha lançado pur, isto é, a sorte, para os assolar e destruir.
25 But when the business was put before the king, he gave orders by letters that the evil design which he had made against the Jews was to be turned against himself; and that he and his sons were to be put to death by hanging.
Mas, vindo isto perante o rei, mandou elle por cartas que o seu mau intento, que intentara contra os judeos, se tornasse sobre a sua cabeça; pelo que o enforcaram a elle e a seus filhos n'uma forca.
26 So these days were named Purim, after the name of Pur. And so, because of the words of this letter, and of what they had seen in connection with this business, and what had come to them,
Por isso áquelles dias chamam purim, do nome pur; pelo que tambem por causa de todas as palavras d'aquella carta, e do que viram sobre isso, e do que lhes tinha succedido,
27 The Jews made a rule and gave an undertaking, causing their seed and all those who were joined to them to do the same, so that it might be in force for ever, that they would keep those two days, as ordered in the letter, at the fixed time every year;
Confirmaram os judeos, e tomaram sobre si, e sobre a sua semente, e sobre todos os que se achegassem a elles, que não se deixaria de guardar estes dois dias conforme ao que se escrevêra d'elles, e segundo o seu tempo determinado, todos os annos.
28 And that those days were to be kept in memory through every generation and every family, in every division of the kingdom and every town, that there might never be a time when these days of Purim would not be kept among the Jews, or when the memory of them would go from the minds of their seed.
E que estes dias seriam lembrados e guardados por cada geração, familia, provincia, e cidade, e que estes dias de purim não traspassariam d'entre os judeos, e que a memoria d'elles nunca teria fim entre os de sua semente.
29 Then Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, sent a second letter giving the force of their authority to the order about the Purim.
Depois d'isto escreveu a rainha Esther, filha d'Abigail, e Mardoqueo o judeo, com toda a força, para confirmarem segunda vez esta carta de purim.
30 And he sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with true words of peace,
E mandaram cartas a todos os judeos, ás cento e vinte e sete provincias do reino d'Assuero, com palavras de paz e fidelidade,
31 Giving the force of law to these days of Purim at their fixed times, as they had been ordered by Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen, and in keeping with the rules they had made for themselves and their seed, in connection with their time of going without food and their cry for help.
Para confirmarem estes dias de purim nos seus tempos determinados, como Mardoqueo, o judeo, e a rainha Esther lhes tinham estabelecido, e como elles mesmos já o tinham estabelecido sobre si e sobre a sua semente, ácerca do jejum e do seu clamor.
32 The order given by Esther gave the force of law to the rules about the Purim; and it was recorded in the book.
E o mandado d'Esther estabeleceu os successos d'aquelle purim: e escreveu-se n'um livro.
