Esther 9
1 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them; )
E no mez duodecimo, que é o mez d'adar, no dia treze do mesmo mez em que chegou a palavra do rei e a sua ordem para a executar, no dia em que os inimigos dos judeos esperavam assenhorear-se d'elles, succedeu o contrario, porque os judeos foram os que se assenhorearam dos seus aborrecedores.
2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell on all people.
Porque os judeos nas suas cidades, em todas as provincias do rei Assuero, se ajuntaram para pôr as mãos n'aquelles que procuravam o seu mal: e nenhum parou diante d'elles; porque o seu terror caiu sobre todos aquelles povos.
3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell on them.
E todos os maioraes das provincias, e os satrapas, e os governadores, e os que faziam a obra do rei, exaltavam os judeos porque tinha caido sobre elles o temor de Mardoqueo.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
Porque Mardoqueo era grande na casa do rei, e a sua fama sahia por todas as provincias; porque o homem Mardoqueo se ia engrandecendo.
5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.
Feriram pois os judeos a todos os seus inimigos, ás cutiladas da espada, e da matança e da destruição: e fizeram dos seus aborrecedores o que quizeram.
6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
E na fortaleza de Susan mataram e destruiram os judeos quinhentos homens;
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Como tambem a Parsandatha, e a Dalphon, e a Aspatha,
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
E a Poratha, e a Adalia, e a Aridatha,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
E a Pharmasta, e a Arisai, e a Aridai, e a Vaizatha:
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
Os dez filhos d'Haman, filho d'Hammedatha, o inimigo dos judeos, mataram, porém ao despojo não estenderam a sua mão.
11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
No mesmo dia veiu perante o rei o numero dos mortos na fortaleza de Susan.
12 And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what is your petition? and it shall be granted you: or what is your request further? and it shall be done.
E disse o rei á rainha Esther: Na fortaleza de Susan mataram e destruiram os judeos quinhentos homens, e os dez filhos d'Haman; nas mais provincias do rei que fariam? qual é pois a tua petição, e dar-se-te-ha; ou qual é ainda o teu requerimento? e far-se-ha.
13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.
Então disse Esther: Se bem parecer ao rei, conceda-se tambem ámanhã aos judeos que se acham em Susan que façam conforme ao mandado d'hoje: e enforquem os dez filhos d'Haman n'uma forca.
14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
Então disse o rei que assim se fizesse; e deu-se um edicto em Susan, e enforcaram os dez filhos d'Haman.
15 For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
E ajuntaram-se os judeos que se achavam em Susan tambem no dia quatorze do mez d'adar, e mataram em Susan a trezentos homens: porém ao despojo não estenderam a sua mão.
16 But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
Tambem os demais judeos que se achavam nas provincias do rei se ajuntaram para se pôrem em defeza da sua vida, e tiveram repouso dos seus inimigos; e mataram dos seus aborrecedores setenta e cinco mil; porém ao despojo não estenderam a sua mão.
17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Succedeu isto no dia treze do mez d'adar: e repousaram no dia quatorze do mesmo, e fizeram d'aquelle dia dia de banquetes e d'alegria.
18 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Tambem os judeos, que se achavam em Susan se ajuntaram nos dias treze e quatorze do mesmo: e repousaram no dia quinze do mesmo, e fizeram d'aquelle dia dia de banquetes e d'alegria.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelled in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
Os judeos porém das aldeias, que habitavam nas villas, fizeram do dia quatorze do mez d'adar dia d'alegria e de banquetes, e dia de folguedo, e de mandarem presentes uns aos outros.
20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far,
E Mardoqueo escreveu estas coisas, e enviou cartas a todos os judeos que se achavam em todas as provincias do rei Assuero, aos de perto, e aos de longe,
21 To establish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
Ordenando-lhes que guardassem o dia quatorze do mez d'adar, e o dia quinze do mesmo, todos os annos,
22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
Conforme aos dias em que os judeos tiveram repouso dos seus inimigos; e ao mez que se lhes mudou de tristeza em alegria, e de luto em dia de folguedo; para que os fizessem dias de banquetes e d'alegria, e de mandarem presentes uns aos outros, e aos pobres dadivas.
23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them;
E se encarregaram os judeos de fazerem o que já tinham começado, como tambem o que Mardoqueo lhes tinha escripto.
24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
Porque Haman, filho d'Hammedatha, o agagita, inimigo de todos os judeos, tinha intentado destruir os judeos; e tinha lançado pur, isto é, a sorte, para os assolar e destruir.
25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
Mas, vindo isto perante o rei, mandou elle por cartas que o seu mau intento, que intentara contra os judeos, se tornasse sobre a sua cabeça; pelo que o enforcaram a elle e a seus filhos n'uma forca.
26 Why they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come to them,
Por isso áquelles dias chamam purim, do nome pur; pelo que tambem por causa de todas as palavras d'aquella carta, e do que viram sobre isso, e do que lhes tinha succedido,
27 The Jews ordained, and took on them, and on their seed, and on all such as joined themselves to them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
Confirmaram os judeos, e tomaram sobre si, e sobre a sua semente, e sobre todos os que se achegassem a elles, que não se deixaria de guardar estes dois dias conforme ao que se escrevêra d'elles, e segundo o seu tempo determinado, todos os annos.
28 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
E que estes dias seriam lembrados e guardados por cada geração, familia, provincia, e cidade, e que estes dias de purim não traspassariam d'entre os judeos, e que a memoria d'elles nunca teria fim entre os de sua semente.
29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
Depois d'isto escreveu a rainha Esther, filha d'Abigail, e Mardoqueo o judeo, com toda a força, para confirmarem segunda vez esta carta de purim.
30 And he sent the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
E mandaram cartas a todos os judeos, ás cento e vinte e sete provincias do reino d'Assuero, com palavras de paz e fidelidade,
31 To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
Para confirmarem estes dias de purim nos seus tempos determinados, como Mardoqueo, o judeo, e a rainha Esther lhes tinham estabelecido, e como elles mesmos já o tinham estabelecido sobre si e sobre a sua semente, ácerca do jejum e do seu clamor.
32 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
E o mandado d'Esther estabeleceu os successos d'aquelle purim: e escreveu-se n'um livro.
