Esther 9
1 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the king's order and decree were to be carried out. That day the enemies of the Jews had thought they would crush them, but the exact opposite happened—the Jews crushed their enemies.
Torej v dvanajstem mesecu, ki je mesec adár, na trinajsti dan istega, ko sta se kraljeva zapoved in njegov odlok približala izvršitvi, na dan, ko so sovražniki Judov upali, da bodo imeli oblast nad njimi (čeprav je bilo to obrnjeno ravno nasprotno, da so Judje vladali nad tistimi, ki so jih sovražili),
2 The Jews gathered in their cities throughout the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those who wanted to destroy them. Nobody could oppose them, because all the other people were afraid of them.
so se Judje zbrali skupaj v svojih mestih, po vseh provincah kralja Ahasvérja, da položijo roko na tiste, ki so iskali njihovo bolečino in noben človek se jim ni mogel zoperstaviti, kajti strah pred njimi je padel na vse ljudstvo.
3 All the officials of the provinces, the chief officers, the governors, and the king's officials helped the Jews, because they were afraid of Mordecai.
Vsi vladarji provinc, poročniki, namestniki in kraljevi častniki, so pomagali Judom, ker je nanje padel strah pred Mordohajem.
4 Mordecai had a great deal of power in the royal palace, and his reputation spread throughout the provinces as his power increased.
Kajti Mordohaj je bil velik v kraljevi hiši in njegova slava je šla po vseh provincah, kajti ta mož Mordohaj je postajal večji in večji.
5 The Jews attacked their enemies with swords, killing and destroying them, and they did whatever they wanted to their enemies.
Tako so Judje vse svoje sovražnike udarili z udarcem meča, pokolom in uničenjem. Tistim pa, ki so jih sovražili, so storili, kar so hoteli.
6 In the fortress of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
V palači Suze so Judje usmrtili in uničili petsto mož.
7 This included Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Paršandáta, Dalfóna, Aspáta,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
Poráta, Adaljája, Aridáta,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
Parmášta, Arisája, Aridája, Jezáta,
10 the ten sons of Haman, son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, but they did not take their possessions.
deset sinov Hamedátovega sina Hamána, sovražnika Judov, so usmrtili, toda na plen niso položili svojih rok.
11 The same day, when the number of those killed in the fortress of Susa was reported to the king,
Na ta dan je bilo število tistih, ki so bili umorjeni v palači Suze, privedeno pred kralja.
12 he said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including Haman's ten sons. Imagine what they've done in the rest of the royal provinces! Now what is it you'd like to ask? It will be given to you. What more do you want? It will be granted.”
Kralj je kraljici Esteri rekel: »Judje so umorili in uničili petsto mož v palači Suze in deset Hamánovih sinov. Kaj so storili v preostalih kraljevih provincah? Torej kaj je tvoja prošnja? In ta ti bo zagotovljena. Ali kaj je tvoja nadaljnja zahteva? In ta bo storjena.«
13 “If it please Your Majesty,” Esther replied, “allow the Jews in Susa be allowed to do the same tomorrow as they did today, following the decree. Also, let the ten sons of Haman be impaled on poles.”
Potem je Estera rekla: »Če to ugaja kralju, naj bo to zagotovljeno Judom, ki so v [mestu] Suze, da prav tako storijo jutri, glede na odlok današnjega dne in naj bo Hamánovih deset sinov obešenih na vislice.«
14 The king ordered this to be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they impaled the bodies of Haman's ten sons.
Kralj je zapovedal, da naj bo tako storjeno. Odlok je bil izdan v [mestu] Suze in obesili so Hamánovih deset sinov.
15 On the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, the Jews in Susa gathered together again and killed three hundred men there, but again they did not take their possessions.
Kajti Judje, ki so bili v [mestu] Suze, so se zbrali skupaj tudi na štirinajsti dan meseca adárja in v [mestu] Suze usmrtili tristo mož. Toda na plen niso položili svojih rok.
16 The other Jews in the king's provinces also gathered to defend themselves and get rid of their enemies. They killed 75,000 who hated them, but did not touch their possessions.
Tudi drugi Judje, ki so bili v kraljevih provincah, so se zbrali skupaj in stali za svoja življenja in imeli počitek pred svojimi nasprotniki in jih izmed svojih sovražnikov usmrtili petinsedemdeset tisoč, toda svojih rok niso položili na plen.
17 This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and celebration.
Na trinajsti dan meseca adárja in na štirinajsti dan istega so počivali in to naredili za dan praznovanja in veselja.
18 However, the Jews in Susa had gathered to fight on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days of the month. So they rested on the fifteenth day, and made that a day of feasting and celebration.
Toda Judje, ki so bili v [mestu] Suze zbrani skupaj na njegov trinajsti dan in na njegov štirinajsti in na petnajsti dan istega, so počivali in to naredili za dan praznovanja in veselja.
19 To this day rural Jews, living in the villages, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of celebration and feasting, a holiday when they send gifts to one another.
Zato so Judje po vaseh, ki prebivajo v mestih brez obzidja, naredili štirinajsti dan meseca adárja za dan veselja in praznovanja in dober dan in pošiljanja deležev drug drugemu.
20 Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces ruled by King Xerxes, near and far,
Mordohaj je napisal te stvari in poslal pisma vsem Judom, ki so bili po vseh provincah Kralja Ahasvérja, tako bližnjim kakor daljnim,
21 requiring them to celebrate every year the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar
da to utrdi med njimi, da naj letno ohranjajo štirinajsti dan meseca adárja in petnajsti dan istega,
22 as the time when the Jews rested from their victory over their enemies, and as the month when their sadness was turned into joy and their mourning into a time of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving gifts of food to one another and presents to the poor.
kakor dneva, na katera so Judje počivali pred svojimi sovražniki in mesec, ki je bil obrnjen k njim, od bridkosti v radost in od žalovanja v dober dan, da si bodo lahko pripravili dneve praznovanja in radosti in pošiljanja deležev drug drugemu in daril ubogim.
23 The Jews agreed to continue what they had already started doing, following what Mordecai had written to them.
Judje so se lotili, da storijo, kakor so začeli in kakor jim je Mordohaj zapisal,
24 For Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted to destroy the Jews, and had cast “pur” (meaning a “lot”) to crush and destroy them.
ker je Hamán, Hamedátov sin, Agágovec, sovražnik vseh Judov, zoper Jude zasnoval, da jih uniči in vrgel pur, to je žreb, da jih ugonobi in da jih uniči,
25 But when it came to the king's attention, he sent out letters ordering that the evil scheme which Haman had planned against the Jews should rebound on him, and that he and his sons should be impaled on poles.
toda ko je Estera prišla pred kralja, je ta s pismi zapovedal, da naj se njegov zlobni naklep, ki ga je zasnoval zoper Jude, vrne na njegovo lastno glavo in da naj bodo on in njegovi sinovi obešeni na vislice.
26 (That's why these days are called Purim, from the word Pur.) As a result of all the instructions in Mordecai's letter, and what they'd seen, and what had happened to them,
Zato so ta dneva imenovali purim, po imenu pur. Zato so – po vseh besedah tega pisma in od tega, kar so videli glede te zadeve in kar je prišlo k njim –
27 the Jews committed themselves to adopt the practice that they and their descendants and all who join them should not forget to celebrate these two days as set down, and at the right time every year.
Judje odredili in vzeli nase in na svoje potomstvo in na vse tiste, ki so se jim pridružili, tako da to ne bi prešlo, da bodo vsako leto ta dva dneva ohranjali glede na njihovo pisanje in glede na njihov določeni čas.
28 These days were to be remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim would always be observed among the Jews, and they would not be forgotten by their descendants.
In da se bodo teh [dveh] dni spominjali in držali skozi vse rodove, vsaka družina, vsaka provinca in vsako mesto in da ta dneva purima med Judi ne bi prešla niti spomin nanju ne izgine od njihovega potomstva.
29 Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, wrote a letter, along with Mordecai the Jew, giving in her letter full authority to Mordecai's letter about Purim.
Potem je kraljica Estera, hči Abihájila in Juda Mordohaja, z vso oblastjo napisala, da potrjuje to drugo pismo o purimu.
30 Letters expressing peace and reassurance were also sent all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the empire of King Xerxes.
In poslal je pisma vsem Judom, v sto sedemindvajset provinc Ahasvérjevega kraljestva, z besedami miru in resnice,
31 They established these days of Purim at their given time as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had ordered, committing themselves and their descendants to the times of fasting and mourning.
da potrdi ta [dva] dneva purima, na njun določeni čas, glede na to, kakor sta jima Jud Mordohaj in kraljica Estera predpisala in kakor so odredili zase in za svoje potomstvo zadeve posta in njihovega joka.
32 In this way Esther's decree confirmed these practices regarding Purim, which were entered in the official record.
Esterin odlok je potrdil te stvari o purimu in to je bilo zapisano v knjigo.
