Esther 9
1 For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.
I tako dvanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Adar, trinaestoga dana, kad doðe da se izvrši rijeè careva i zapovijest njegova, istoga dana kad se neprijatelji Judejski nadahu da æe obladati njima, preokrenu se, te Judejci obladaše svojim nenavidnicima.
2 In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.
Skupiše se Judejci u svojim gradovima po svijem zemljama cara Asvira da dignu ruke na one koji im tražahu zlo; i niko ne mogaše stajati pred njima; jer strah od njih popade sve narode.
3 For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of Mardochaeus lay upon them.
I svi knezovi zemaljski, namjesnici i upravitelji i koji opravljahu poslove careve, podupirahu Judejce, jer ih popade strah od Mardoheja.
4 For the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.
Jer velik bijaše Mardohej u domu carevu, i slava njegova prolažaše sve zemlje, jer taj èovjek Mardohej bivaše sve veæi.
I tako pobiše Judejci sve neprijatelje svoje maèem i potrše i istrijebiše, i uèiniše što htješe od nenavidnika svojih.
6 And in the city Susa the Jews killed five hundred men:
I u Susanu carskom gradu ubiše Judejci i istrijebiše pet stotina ljudi.
7 both Pharsannes, and Delphon and Phasga,
I Farsandatu i Dalfona i Aspatu,
8 and Pharadatha, and Barea, and Sarbaca,
I Poratu i Adaliju i Aridatu,
9 and Marmasima, and Ruphaeus, and Arsaeus, and Zabuthaeus,
I Farmastu i Arisaja i Aridaja i Vajezatu,
10 the ten sons of Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugaean, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered [their property] on the same day:
Deset sinova Amana sina Amedatina neprijatelja Judejskoga pobiše, ali na plijen ne digoše ruke svoje.
11 and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered to the king.
U onaj dan kad javiše caru broj pobijenijeh u Susanu carskom gradu,
12 And the king said to Esther, The Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, think you, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then do you yet ask, that it may be [done] for you?
Reèe car Jestiri carici: u Susanu carskom gradu pobiše i potrše Judejci pet stotina ljudi i deset sinova Amanovijeh, a šta su uèinili po ostalijem zemljama carevijem? Šta želiš? daæe ti se; i šta još moliš? biæe.
13 And Esther said to the king, let it be granted to the Jews so to treat them tomorrow as to hand the ten sons of Aman.
A Jestira reèe: ako je ugodno caru, da se dopusti Judejcima u Susanu i sjutra da uèine po današnjoj naredbi i deset sinova Amanovijeh da objese na vješala.
14 And he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.
I zapovjedi car da bude tako. I oglašena bi zapovijest u Susanu, i objesiše deset sinova Amanovijeh.
15 And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth [day] of Adar, and killed three hundred men, but plundered no property.
I Judejci koji bijahu u Susanu skupivši se i èetrnaestoga dana mjeseca Adara pobiše u Susanu tri stotine ljudi, ali na plijen ne digoše ruke svoje.
16 And the rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth [day] of Adar, but took no spoil.
A ostali Judejci koji bijahu po zemljama carevijem skupiše se da brane život svoj i da se smire od neprijatelja svojih; i pobiše sedamdeset i pet tisuæa nenavidnika svojih; ali na plijen ne digoše ruke svoje.
17 And they rested on the fourteenth of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.
To bi trinaestoga dana mjeseca Adara; a èetrnaestoga poèinuše, i praznovaše taj dan gosteæi se i veseleæi se.
18 And the Jews in the city Susa assembled also on the fourteenth [day] and rested; and they kept also the fifteenth with joy and gladness.
A Judejci koji bijahu u Susanu skupiše se trinaestoga i èetrnaestoga dana istoga mjeseca, a poèinuše petnaestoga, i praznovaše taj dan gosteæi se i veseleæi se.
19 On this account then [it is that] the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar [as] a holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbour.
Zato Judejci seljani, koji žive po mjestima neograðenijem, praznuju èetrnaesti dan mjeseca Adara veseleæi se i gosteæi se i blagujuæi, i šaljuæi dijelove jedan drugom.
20 And Mardochaeus wrote these things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar off,
Jer Mardohej napisa ovo, i razasla knjige svijem Judejcima koji bijahu po svijem zemljama cara Asvira, blizu i daleko,
21 to establish these [as] joyful days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;
Nareðujuæi im da praznuju dan èetrnaesti mjeseca Adara i petnaesti dan istoga mjeseca svake godine;
22 for on these days the Jews obtained rest from their enemies; and [as to] the month, which was Adar, in which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow to a good day, to spend the whole of it [in] good days of feasting and gladness, sending portions to their friends, and to the poor.
Prema danima u koje se smiriše Judejci od neprijatelja svojih i prema mjesecu kad im se pretvori žalost u radost i tuga u veselje, da te dane praznuju gosteæi se i veseleæi se i šaljuæi dijelove jedan drugom, i siromasima darove.
23 And the Jews consented [to this] accordingly as Mardochaeus wrote to them,
I primiše svi Judejci da èine što su poèeli i što im pisa Mardohej.
24 [showing] how Aman the son of Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and cast lots to destroy them utterly;
Jer Aman sin Amedatin Agagej neprijatelj svijeh Judejaca namisli za Judejce da ih istrijebi, i baci Fur, to jest ždrijeb, da ih potre i istrijebi.
25 also how he went in to the king, telling [him] to hang Mardochaeus: but all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.
Ali kad Jestira izide pred cara, on zapovjedi knjigom, te se zla misao njegova koju smisli na Judejce obrati na njegovu glavu, i objesiše njega i sinove njegove na vješala.
26 Therefore these days were called Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phrurae; ) because of the words of this letter, and [because of] all they suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.
Zato prozvaše te dane Furim od imena Fur; i radi svijeh rijeèi te knjige i radi onoga što vidješe, tako i radi onoga što im se dogodi,
27 And [Mardochaeus] established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them [to observe it], neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days [were to be] a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.
Postaviše Judejci i primiše na se i na sjeme svoje i na sve koji se udruže s njima da je nepromjenito da slave ta dva dana kao što je napisano za njih i na vrijeme koje je za njih odreðeno, svake godine,
28 And these days of the Phrurae, [said they, ]shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.
I da se ti dani spominju i slave u svakom naraštaju, u svakoj porodici, u svakoj zemlji i u svakom gradu; i ti dani Furim da ne prestanu meðu Judejcima i spomen njihov da ne pogine u sjemenu njihovu.
29 And queen Esther, the daughter of Aminadab, and Mardochaeus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the confirmation of the letter of Phrurae.
I pisa carica Jestira kæi Avihailova i Mardohej Judejac svakom tvrðom potvrðujuæi knjigu za Furim drugi put.
I Mardohej razasla knjigu svijem Judejcima u sto i dvadeset i sedam zemalja cara Asvira s rijeèima ljubaznijem i istinijem,
31 And Mardochaeus and Esther the queen appointed [a fast] for themselves privately, even at that time also having formed their plan against their own health.
Da tvrdo drže dane Furim na vrijeme kao što im je postavio Mardohej Judejac i carica Jestira i kao što sami postaviše sebi i sjemenu svojemu za spomen postu njihovu i vikanju njihovu.
32 And Esther established it by a command for ever, and it was written for a memorial.
Tako zapovijest Jestirina potvrdi uredbu za Furim, i bi zapisano u knjigu.
