Esther 9
1 For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.
Во вторыйнадесять месяц, иже есть Адар, в третийнадесять день месяца приидоша писания от царя.
2 In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.
В той же день погибоша супостаты Иудеев: ни един бо сопротивися им бояся их.
3 For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honored the Jews; for the fear of Mardochaeus lay upon them.
Началствующии бо странам и властителие и царстии книгочия почитаху Иудей:
4 For the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.
страх бо Мардохеев належаше на них.
Приложися бо повеление царево именоватися ему по всему царствию.
6 And in the city Susa the Jews killed five hundred men:
И в Сусех граде избиша Иудее пять сот мужей:
7 both Pharsannes, and Delphon and Phasga,
Фарсана, нестанна и Делфона, и Фасгана
8 and Pharadatha, and Barea, and Sarbaca,
и Фардафана, и Вареа и Сарвакана,
9 and Marmasima, and Ruphaeus, and Arsaeus, and Zabuthaeus,
и Мармасима и Руфеа, и Арсеа и Завуфефама,
10 the ten sons of Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugaean, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered [their property] on the same day:
десять сынов Амана Амадафуева Вугеанина врага Иудеом, иже от Фармафеа, и разграбиша в той день (имения их):
11 and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered to the king.
и сказаша число избиенных царю в Сусех граде.
12 And the king said to Esther, The Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, think you, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then do you yet ask, that it may be [done] for you?
И рече царь ко Есфири: избиша Иудее в Сусе граде пять сот мужей, по окрестным же странам колико, мниши, погубиша? И чесого еще просиши, и будет ти?
13 And Esther said to the king, let it be granted to the Jews so to treat them tomorrow as to hand the ten sons of Aman.
И рече Есфирь ко царю: да дастся такожде Иудеом творити заутра, яко да повесят десять сынов Амановых.
14 And he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.
И повеле царь тако быти, и попусти Иудеом вне града повесити телеса сынов Амановых.
15 And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth [day] of Adar, and killed three hundred men, but plundered no property.
И собрашася Иудее, иже в Сусех, в четвертыйнадесять деень Адара, и избиша мужей триста, и ничтоже разграбиша.
16 And the rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth [day] of Adar, but took no spoil.
Прочии же Иудее, иже во царствии, собрашася и себе помогаху и почиша от браней: избиша бо от них пятьнадесять тысящ в третийнадесять Адара, и ничтоже расхитиша.
17 And they rested on the fourteenth of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.
И почиша в четвертыйнадесять день тогожде месяца и провождаху той день упокоения с радостию и веселием.
18 And the Jews in the city Susa assembled also on the fourteenth [day] and rested; and they kept also the fifteenth with joy and gladness.
Иудее же в Сусех граде собрашася и в четвертыйнадесять почиша: проводиша же и пятыйнадесять с радостию и веселием.
19 On this account then [it is that] the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar [as] a holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbor.
Сего ради Иудее разсеяннии во всяцей стране внешней провождают четвертыйнадесять день Адара благ с веселием, посылающе части кийждо ближнему: живущий же в митрополиях и в пятыйнадесять день Адара веселия благий провождают, посылающе части ближним.
20 And Mardochaeus wrote these things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar off,
Написа же Мардохей словеса сия в книгу и посла Иудеом, елицы беша в царствии Артаксерксове, близ и далече сущым,
21 to establish these [as] joyful days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;
уставити дни сия благи, еже провождати четвертыйнадесять и пятыйнадесять день Адара:
22 for on these days the Jews obtained rest from their enemies; and [as to] the month, which was Adar, in which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow to a good day, to spend the whole of it [in] good days of feasting and gladness, sending portions to their friends, and to the poor.
в сих бо днех почиша Иудее от враг своих: и месяц Адар, иже обратися им от плача в радость и от болезни во благий день, провождати весь во благих днех радости и веселия, посылающе части ко другом и нищым.
23 And the Jews consented [to this] accordingly as Mardochaeus wrote to them,
И прияша Иудее, якоже написа им Мардохей:
24 [showing] how Aman the son of Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and cast lots to destroy them utterly;
како Аман Амадафуев Македонянин ратоваше Иудеев, и како изнесе суд и жребий, еже погубити их,
25 also how he went in to the king, telling [him] to hang Mardochaeus: but all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.
и яко вниде ко царю, глаголя, да повесит Мардохеа: елика нача наводити на Иудеи злая, на него быша, и повешен бысть сам и чада его.
26 Therefore these days were called Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phrurae; ) because of the words of this letter, and [because of] all they suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.
Сего ради нарекошася дние сии Фурим ради жребий, зане диалектом их жребии нарицаются фурим, ради словес епистолии сея, и елика пострадаша сих ради, и елика им приключишася.
27 And [Mardochaeus] established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them [to observe it], neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days [were to be] a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.
Устави убо, и тако прияша Иудее на себе и на семя свое и на ириложившихся к ним, ниже иначе да употребляют: дние же сии памяти совершаеми по роду и роду, и граду и отечеству и стране.
28 And these days of the Phrurae, [said they, ]shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.
Дние же сии Фурим да провождают во всякое лето, и память да не оскудеет от родов.
29 And queen Esther, the daughter of Aminadab, and Mardochaeus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the confirmation of the letter of Phrurae.
И написа Есфирь царица дщи Аминадавля и Мардохей Иудеанин, елика сотвориша во утверждение епистолии о днех Фурим.
31 And Mardochaeus and Esther the queen appointed [a fast] for themselves privately, even at that time also having formed their plan against their own health.
И Мардохей и Есфирь царица устависта себе сами, и тогда устависта в посте своем совет свой.
32 And Esther established it by a command for ever, and it was written for a memorial.
И Есфирь слово постави во веки, и написано бысть в память.
