Esther 9
1 Therefore, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said before is called Adar, when all the Jews were prepared to be executed and their enemies were greedy for their blood, the situation turned around, and the Jews began to have the upper hand and to vindicate themselves of their adversaries.
И тако дванаестог месеца, а то је месец Адар, тринаестог дана, кад дође да се изврши реч царева и заповест његова, истог дана кад се непријатељи јудејски надаху да ће овладати њима, преокрену се, те Јудејци овладаше својим ненавидницима.
2 And they gathered together throughout each city, and town, and place, so as to extend their hands against their enemies and their persecutors. And no one dared to resist them, because their great power had pierced all the peoples.
Скупише се Јудејци у својим градовима по свим земљама цара Асвира да дигну руке на оне који им тражаху зло; и нико не могаше стајати пред њима; јер страх од њих попаде све народе.
3 For even the judges of the provinces, and the rulers, and the procurators, and everyone of dignity, who presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mordecai.
И сви кнезови земаљски, намесници и управитељи и који оправљаху послове цареве, подупираху Јудејце, јер их попаде страх од Мардохеја.
4 For they knew him to be the leader of the palace and to have much power. Likewise, the fame of his name increased daily and flew everywhere through word of mouth.
Јер велик беше Мардохеј у дому царевом, и слава његова пролажаше све земље, јер тај човек, Мардохеј биваше све већи.
5 And so the Jews struck their enemies like a great plague and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them,
И тако побише Јудејци све непријатеље своје мачем и потрше и истребише, и учинише шта хтеше од ненавидника својих.
6 so much so that even in Susa they executed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Haman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews, and their names are these:
И у Сусану, царском граду, убише Јудејци и истребише пет стотина људи.
7 Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha
И Фарсандату и Далфона и Аспату,
8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
И Порату и Адалију и Аридату,
9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha.
И Фармасту и Арисаја и Арилаја и Вајезату,
10 When they had slain them, they were unwilling to touch the spoils of their belongings.
Десет синова Амана, сина Амедатиног непријатеља јудејског побише, али на плен не дигоше руке своје,
11 And immediately the number of those who had been killed in Susa was reported to the king.
У онај дан, кад јавише цару број побијених у Сусану царском граду,
12 He said to the queen, “In the city of Susa, the Jews have executed five hundred men, and also the ten sons of Haman. How many executions do you think that they have carried out in all the provinces? What more do you ask, and what do you wish, so that I may order it to be done?”
Рече цар Јестири царици: У Сусану царском граду побише и потрше Јудејци пет стотина људи и десет синова Аманових, а шта су учинили по осталим земљама царевим? Шта желиш? Даће ти се; и шта још молиш? Биће.
13 And she answered, “If it pleases the king, may power be granted to the Jews, so as to do tomorrow in Susa just as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Haman may be hung up the gallows.”
А Јестира рече: Ако је угодно цару, да се допусти Јудејцима у Сусану и сутра да учине по данашњој наредби и десет синова Аманових да обесе на вешала.
14 And the king instructed that it should be so done. And immediately the edict was hung up in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman were hung up.
И заповеди цар да буде тако. И оглашена би заповест у Сусану, и обесише десет синова Аманових.
15 On the fourteenth day of the month Adar, the Jews gathered themselves together, and they executed in Susa three hundred men, but they did not seize their belongings from them.
И Јудејци који беху у Сусану скупивши се и четрнаестог дана месеца Адара побише у Сусану три стотине људи, али на плен не дигоше руке своје.
16 Moreover, throughout all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion, the Jews made a stand for their lives, and they executed their enemies and their persecutors, so much so that the number of those who were killed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and yet no one touched any of their belongings.
А остали Јудејци који беху по земљама царевим скупише се да бране живот свој и да се смире од непријатеља својих; и побише седамдесет и пет хиљада ненавидника својих; али на плен не дигоше руке своје.
17 Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with all of the executions, and on the fourteenth day they ceased the killing. This day they established to be sacred, so that in all times hereafter they would be free for feasting, joyfulness, and celebration.
То би тринаестог дана месеца Адара; а четрнаестог починуше, и празноваше тај дан гостећи се и веселећи се.
18 But, as for those who were carrying out the killings in the city of Susa, they turned to killing on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month. But on the fifteenth day they ceased to attack. And for that reason they established that day as sacred, with feasting and with gladness.
А Јудејци који беху у Сусану скупише се тринаестог и четрнаестог дана истог месеца, а починуше петнаестог, и празноваше тај дан гостећи се и веселећи се.
19 But in truth, those Jews who were staying in unwalled towns and villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for celebration and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day and send one another portions of their feasts and their meals.
Зато Јудејци сељани, који живе по местима неограђеним, празнују четрнаести дан месеца Адара веселећи се и гостећи се и благујући, и шаљући делове један другом.
20 And so Mordecai wrote down all these things and sent them, composed in letters, to the Jews who were staying in all the king’s provinces, as much to those in nearby places as to those far away,
Јер Мардохеј написа ово, и разасла књиге свим Јудејцима који беху по свим земљама цара Асвира, близу и далеко,
21 so that they would accept the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always, at the return of the year, would celebrate them with sacred esteem.
Наређујући им да празнују дан четрнаести месеца Адара и петнаести дан истог месеца сваке године;
22 For on those days, the Jews vindicated themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, so that these would be days of feasting and gladness, in which they would send one another portions of their feasts, and would grant gifts to the poor.
Према данима у које се смирише Јудејци од непријатеља својих и према месецу кад им се претвори жалост у радост и туга у весеље, да те дане празнују гостећи се и веселећи се и шаљући делове један другом, и сиромасима дарове.
23 And the Jews accepted as a solemn ritual all the things which they had begun to do at that time, which Mordecai had commanded with letters to be done.
И примише сви Јудејци да чине шта су почели и шта им писа Мардохеј.
24 For Haman, the son of Hammedatha of Agag lineage, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and to destroy them. And he had cast Pur, which in our language means the lot.
Јер Аман, син Амедатин Агагеј непријатељ свих Јудејаца намисли за Јудејце да их истреби, и баци Фур, то јест жреб, да их потре и истреби.
25 And after this, Esther had entered before the king, begging him that his efforts might be made ineffective by the king’s letters, and that the evil he intended against the Jews might return upon his own head. Finally, both he and his sons were fastened to a cross.
Али кад Јестира изиђе пред цара, он заповеди књигом, те се зла мисао његова коју смисли на Јудејце обрати на његову главу, и обесише њега и синове његове на вешала.
26 And so, from that time, these days are called Purim, that is, of the lots, because Pur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that had been carried out are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book.
Зато прозваше те дане Фурим од имена Фур; и ради својих речи те књиге и ради оног што видеше, тако и ради оног што им се догоди,
27 And whatever they suffered, and whatever was altered afterwards, the Jews received for themselves and their offspring and for all who were willing to be joined to their religion, so that none would be permitted to transgress the solemnity of these two days, to which the writing testifies, and which certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.
Поставише Јудејци и примише на се и на семе своје и на све који се удруже с њима да је непроменљиво да славе та два дана као што је написано за њих и на време које је за њих одређено, сваке године,
28 These are the days which no one ever will erase into oblivion, and which every province in the whole world, throughout each generation, shall celebrate. Neither is there any city wherein the days of Purim, that is, of lots, may not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which has been obligated to these ceremonies.
И да се ти дани спомињу и славе у сваком нараштају, у свакој породици, у свакој земљи и у сваком граду; и ти дани Фурим да не престану међу Јудејцима и спомен њихов да не погине у семену њиховом.
29 And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, also wrote a second letter, so that with all zealousness this day would be confirmed as customary for future generations.
И писа царица Јестира, кћи Авихаилова и Мардохеј Јудејац сваком тврђом потврђујући књигу за Фурим други пут.
30 And they sent to all the Jews, who had been stirred up in the one hundred twenty-seven provinces of king Artaxerxes, that they should have peace and receive truth,
И разасла књигу свим Јудејцима у сто и двадесет и седам земаља цара Асвира и речима љубазним и истинитим,
31 and observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy at their proper time, just as Mordecai and Esther had established. And they accepted these to be observed by themselves and by their offspring: fasting, and crying out, and the days of lots,
Да тврдо држе дане Фурим на време као што им је поставио Мардохеј Јудејац и царица Јестира и као што сами поставише себи и семену свом за спомен посту њиховом и викању њиховом.
32 and all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
Тако заповест Јестирина потврди уредбу за Фурим, и би записано у књигу.
