Esther 9
1 So on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said above is called Adar, when all the Jews were designed to be massacred, and their enemies were greedy after their blood, the case being altered, the Jews began to have the upper hand, and to revenge 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 themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people.
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 And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai:
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 prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men’s mouths.
Јер велик беше Мардохеј у дому царевом, и слава његова пролажаше све земље, јер тај човек, Мардохеј биваше све већи.
5 So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, 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 Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these:
И у Сусану, царском граду, убише Јудејци и истребише пет стотина људи.
7 Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha,
И Фарсандату и Далфона и Аспату,
8 And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
И Порату и Адалију и Аридату,
9 And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha.
И Фармасту и Арисаја и Арилаја и Вајезату,
10 And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods.
Десет синова Амана, сина Амедатиног непријатеља јудејског побише, али на плен не дигоше руке своје,
11 And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king.
У онај дан, кад јавише цару број побијених у Сусану царском граду,
12 And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command 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 please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do tomorrow in Susan as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets.
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 commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged.
И заповеди цар да буде тако. И оглашена би заповест у Сусану, и обесише десет синова Аманових.
15 And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance.
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 through all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were Billed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods.
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 them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets.
То би тринаестог дана месеца Адара; а четрнаестог починуше, и празноваше тај дан гостећи се и веселећи се.
18 But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and 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 those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats.
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 Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king’s provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off,
Јер Мардохеј написа ово, и разасла књиге свим Јудејцима који беху по свим земљама цара Асвира, близу и далеко,
21 That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour:
Наређујући им да празнују дан четрнаести месеца Адара и петнаести дан истог месеца сваке године;
22 Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats; and should give 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 undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done.
И примише сви Јудејци да чине шта су почели и шта им писа Мардохеј.
24 For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them: and had cast Phur, that is, 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 afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king’s letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets.
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 since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, 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 the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and 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 shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound 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 Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come.
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 that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, 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 in their proper time: as Mardochai and Esther had appointed, and they undertook them to be observed by themselves and by their seed, fasts, and cries, 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.
