Esther 8
1 The same day did King Ahashuerosh giue the house of Haman the aduersarie of the Iewes vnto the Queene Ester. and Mordecai came before the King: for Ester tolde what hee was vnto her.
Istoga dana dade car Asvir carici Jestiri kuæu Amana neprijatelja Judejskoga. A Mardohej izide pred cara, jer Jestira kaza šta joj je on;
2 And the King tooke off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gaue it vnto Mordecai: and Ester set Mordecai ouer the house of Haman.
I car snimiv prsten svoj, koji bješe uzeo od Amana, dade ga Mardoheju; a Jestira postavi Mardoheja nad kuæom Amanovom.
3 And Ester spake yet more before the King, and fell downe at his feete weeping, and besought him that he would put away the wickednes of Haman the Agagite, and his deuice that he had imagined against the Iewes.
Potom Jestira opet govori caru i padnuvši pred noge njegove i plaèuæi moljaše ga da ukloni zloæu Amana Agageja i misao njegovu koju bješe smislio na Judejce.
4 And the King held out the golden scepter toward Ester. Then arose Ester, and stood before the King,
Tada car pruži zlatnu palicu prema Jestiri, i Jestira usta i stade pred carem,
5 And sayd, If it please the King, and if I haue found fauour in his sight, and the thing be acceptable before the King, and I please him, let it be written, that the letters of the deuice of Haman the sonne of Ammedatha the Agagite may be called againe, which he wrote to destroy the Iewes, that are in all the Kings prouinces.
I reèe: ako je ugodno caru i ako sam našla milost pred njim, i ako je pravo pred carem i ako sam mu mila, neka se piše da se poreku knjige u kojima je misao Amana sina Amedatina, Agageja, koje je raspisao da se istrijebe Judejci što su po svijem zemljama carevijem.
6 For how can I suffer and see the euil, that shall come vnto my people? Or howe can I suffer and see the destruction of my kinred?
Jer kako bih mogla gledati zlo koje bi zadesilo moj narod? i kako bih mogla gledati da se potre rod moj?
7 And the King Ahashuerosh sayde vnto the Queene Ester, and to Mordecai the Iewe, Behold, I haue giuen Ester the house of Haman, whome they haue hanged vpon the tree, because he layd hand vpon the Iewes.
A car Asvir reèe carici Jestiri i Mardoheju Judejcu: eto, dao sam kuæu Amanovu Jestiri a njega su objesili na vješala zato što šæaše dignuti ruku svoju na Judejce.
8 Write yee also for the Iewes, as it liketh you in the Kinges name, and seale it with the Kings ring (for the writings written in the Kings name, and sealed with the Kings ring, may no man reuoke)
Vi dakle pišite za Judejce kako vam je drago u ime carevo i zapeèatite prstenom carevijem; jer što se piše u ime carevo i zapeèati prstenom carevijem ne može se poreæi.
9 Then were the Kings Scribes called at the same time, euen in the thirde moneth, that is the moneth Siuan, on the three and twentieth day thereof: and it was written, according to all as Mordecai commanded, vnto the Iewes and to the princes, and captaines, and rulers of the prouinces, which were from India euen vnto Ethiopia, an hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces, vnto euery prouince, according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their speache, and to the Iewes, according to their writing, and according to their language.
I dozvaše pisare careve u isto vrijeme, treæega mjeseca, koje je mjesec Sivan, dvadeset treæega dana, i pisa se sve, kako zapovjedi Mardohej, Judejcima i namjesnicima i knezovima i upraviteljima po zemljama, od Indije do Etiopije, sto i dvadeset i sedam zemalja, u svaku zemlju njezinijem pismom i svakom narodu njegovijem jezikom, i Judejcima njihovijem pismom i njihovijem jezikom.
10 And hee wrote in the King Ahashuerosh name, and sealed it with the Kings ring: and he sent letters by postes on horsebacke and that rode on beastes of price, as dromedaries and coltes of mares.
A napisa u ime cara Asvira i zapeèati prstenom carevijem, i razasla knjige po glasnicima koji jahahu na brzijem konjma i na mladijem mazgama:
11 Wherein the King graunted the Iewes (in what cities so euer they were) to gather theselues together, and to stand for their life, and to roote out, to slay and to destroy al the power of the people and of the prouince that vexed them, both children and women, and to spoyle their goods:
Da je car dopustio Judejcima što su u kome god gradu da se skupe i brane život svoj, da potru i pobiju i istrijebe svaku vojsku kojega mu drago naroda i zemlje, koji bi udarili na njih, i djecu njihovu i žene njihove, a imanje njihovo da razgrabe.
12 Vpon one day in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh, euen in the thirteenth day of the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar.
U isti dan po svijem zemljama cara Asvira, trinaestoga dana mjeseca dvanaestoga, koje je mjesec Adar.
13 The copie of the writing was, howe there should be a commandement giuen in all and euery prouince, published among all the people, and that the Iewes should be ready against that day to auenge themselues on their enemies.
U knjigama se govoraše da se oglasi zapovijest po svijem zemljama i da se objavi svijem narodima da Judejci budu gotovi za onaj dan da se osvete svojim neprijateljima.
14 So the postes rode vpon beasts of price, and dromedaries, and went forth with speede, to execute the Kings commandement, and the decree was giuen at Shushan the palace.
Glasnici koji jahahu na brzijem konjma i mazgama otidoše brzo i hitno po zapovijesti carevoj; i zapovijest bi oglašena u Susanu carskom gradu.
15 And Mordecai went out from the King in royall apparell of blewe, and white, and with a great crowne of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple, and the citie of Shushan reioyced and was glad.
A Mardohej otide od cara u carskom odijelu ljubièastom i bijelom i pod zlatnijem vijencem velikim i u plaštu od tankoga platna i skerleta, i grad Susan radovaše se i veseljaše se.
16 And vnto the Iewes was come light and ioy and gladnes, and honour.
Judejcima doðe svjetlost i veselje i radost i slava.
17 Also in all and euery prouince, and in al and euery citie and place, where the Kings commandement and his decree came, there was ioy and gladnes to the Iewes, a feast and good day, and many of the people of the land became Iewes: for the feare of the Iewes fell vpon them.
I u svakoj zemlji i u svakom gradu, gdje god doðe zapovijest careva i naredba njegova, bješe radost i veselje meðu Judejcima, gozba i blagi dani, i mnogi iz naroda zemaljskih postajahu Judejci, jer ih popade strah od Jevreja.
