Esther 9
1 And, in the twelfth month, the same, is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the word of the king and his edict arrived to be put in execution, —on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, though it, was changed, so that the Jews themselves should have power over them who hated them,
E no mês duodécimo, que é o mês de Adar, no dia treze do mesmo mês em que chegou a palavra do rei e a sua ordem para a executar, no dia em que os inimigos dos judeus esperavam assenhorear-se deles, sucedeu o contrário, porque os judeus foram os que se assenhorearam dos seus aborrecedores.
2 the Jews assembled themselves together in their cities, throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to thrust forth a hand against them who were seeking their hurt, and, no man, stood before them, for the dread of them had fallen upon all the peoples.
Porque os judeus nas suas cidades, em todas as províncias do rei Assuero, se ajuntaram para pôr as mãos naqueles que procuravam o seu mal: e nenhum parou diante deles; porque o seu terror caiu sobre todos aqueles povos.
3 And, all the rulers of the provinces, and the satraps and the pashas, and the doers of business that pertained to the king, were extolling the Jews, —for the dread of Mordecai, had fallen upon them;
E todos os maiorais das províncias, e os sátrapas, e os governadores, e os que faziam a obra do rei, exaltavam os judeus porque tinha caído sobre eles o temor de mardoqueu.
4 since great was Mordecai, in the house of the king, and, his fame, was going forth throughout all the provinces, —for, the man Mordecai, went on waxing great.
Porque mardoqueu era grande na casa do rei, e a sua fama saía por todas as províncias; porque o homem mardoqueu se ia engrandecendo.
5 So then the Jews smote all their enemies, with the smiting of the sword and slaughter, and destruction, —and they dealt with them who hated them according to their pleasure.
Feriram pois os judeus a todos os seus inimigos, às cutiladas da espada, e da matança e da destruição: e fizeram dos seus aborrecedores o que quizeram.
6 Yea, in Shusan the palace, did the Jews slay and destroy five hundred men.
E na fortaleza de Susan mataram e destruiram os judeus quinhentos homens;
7 And Parshandatha and Dalphon, and Aspatha;
Como também 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 Vaizatha; —
E a Pharmasta, e a Arisai, e a Aridai, e a Vaizatha:
10 the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the adversary of the Jews, slew they, —but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.
Os dez filhos de Haman, filho de Hammedatha, o inimigo dos judeus, mataram, porém ao despojo não estenderam a sua mão.
11 On that day, came in the number of the slain into Shusan the palace, before the king.
No mesmo dia veio perante o rei o número dos mortos na fortaleza de Susan.
12 Then said the king unto Esther the queen, In Shusan the palace, have the Jews slain and caused to perish five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman, —in the rest of the provinces of the king, what have they done? What, then, is thy petition, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy request further, that it may he performed?
E disse o rei à rainha Esther: Na fortaleza de Susan mataram e destruiram os judeus quinhentos homens, e os dez filhos de Haman; nas mais províncias do rei que fariam? qual é pois a tua petição, e dar-se-te-á; ou qual é ainda o teu requerimento? e far-se-á.
13 Then said Esther, If, unto the king, it seem good, let it be granted, to-morrow also, unto the Jews who are in Shusan, to do according to the edict of to-day, —and that, the ten sons of Haman, be hanged upon the gallows.
Então disse Esther: Se bem parecer ao rei, conceda-se também amanhã aos judeus que se acham em Susan que façam conforme ao mandado de hoje: e enforquem os dez filhos de Haman numa forca.
14 And the king commanded it to be done so, and there was given an edict, in Shusan, —and, the ten sons of Haman, they hanged.
Então disse o rei que assim se fizesse; e deu-se um edito em Susan, e enforcaram os dez filhos de Haman.
15 So the Jews who were in Shusan assembled themselves together, on the fourteenth day also, of the month Adar, and slew in Shusan three hundred men, —but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.
E ajuntaram-se os judeus que se achavam em Susan também no dia quatorze do mês de Adar, e mataram em Susan a trezentos homens: porém ao despojo não estenderam a sua mão.
16 And, the remainder of the Jews who were in the provinces of the king, assembled themselves together and stood for their life, and then had rest from their enemies, having slain of them that hated them seventy-five thousand, —but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand:
Também os demais judeus que se achavam nas províncias do rei se ajuntaram para se porém em defesa 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 then had rest on the fourteenth day thereof, and made it a day of banqueting and rejoicing.
Sucedeu isto no dia treze do mês de Adar: e repousaram no dia quatorze do mesmo, e fizeram daquele dia dia de banquetes e de alegria.
18 But, the Jews who were in Shusan, assembled themselves together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth day thereof, —and then had rest on the fifteenth day thereof, and made it a day of banqueting and rejoicing.
Também os judeus, que se achavam em Susan se ajuntaram nos dias treze e quatorze do mesmo: e repousaram no dia quinze do mesmo, e fizeram daquele dia dia de banquetes e de alegria.
19 For this cause, the country Jews, who dwelt in the country towns, were making the fourteenth day of the month Adar one of rejoicing and banqueting, and a day of happiness, —and of sending portions every one to his neighbour.
Os judeus porém das aldeias, que habitavam nas vilas, fizeram do dia quatorze do mês de Adar dia de alegria e de banquetes, e dia de folguedo, e de mandarem presentes uns aos outros.
20 And Mordecai wrote these things, —and sent letters unto all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, near, and far off;
E mardoqueu escreveu estas coisas, e enviou cartas a todos os judeus que se achavam em todas as províncias do rei Assuero, aos de perto, e aos de longe,
21 to establish for them, that they should continue to observe the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day thereof, —always year by year;
Ordenando-lhes que guardassem o dia quatorze do mês de Adar, e o dia quinze do mesmo, todos os anos,
22 according to the days wherein the Jews found rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned for them, from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a happy day, —that they should make them days of banqueting and rejoicing, and of sending portions, every one to his neighbour, and gifts, unto the needy.
Conforme aos dias em que os judeus tiveram repouso dos seus inimigos; e ao mês que se lhes mudou de tristeza em alegria, e de luto em dia de folguedo; para que os fizessem dias de banquetes e de alegria, e de mandarem presentes uns aos outros, e aos pobres dádivas.
23 And the Jews took upon them that which they had begun to do, —and that which Mordecai had written unto them;
E se encarregaram os judeus de fazerem o que já tinham começado, como também o que mardoqueu lhes tinha escrito.
24 because, Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews, to cause them to perish, —and had cast Pur, the same, is the Lot, to terrify them, and to destroy them;
Porque Haman, filho de Hammedatha, o agagita, inimigo de todos os judeus, tinha intentado destruir os judeus; e tinha lançado pur, isto é, a sorte, para os assolar e destruir.
25 but, by [Esther’s] going in before the king, he commanded by letter, that his wicked plot which he had plotted against the Jews, should return, upon his own head, —and that he and his sons should be hanged upon the gallows.
Mas, vindo isto perante o rei, mandou ele por cartas que o seu mau intento, que intentara contra os judeus, se tornasse sobre a sua cabeça; pelo que o enforcaram a ele e a seus filhos numa forca.
26 For this cause, called they these days Purim, after the name Pur, for this cause, —for all the words of this epistle, —and what they had seen concerning such a matter, and what had reached unto them.
Por isso àqueles dias chamam purim, do nome pur; pelo que também por causa de todas as palavras daquela carta, e do que viram sobre isso, e do que lhes tinha sucedido,
27 The Jews established and took upon themselves—and upon their seed, and upon all who should join themselves unto them, that it might not pass away, that they would continue to keep these two days, according to the writing concerning them and at their set time, —always year by year.
Confirmaram os judeus, e tomaram sobre si, e sobre a sua semente, e sobre todos os que se achegassem a eles, que não se deixaria de guardar estes dois dias conforme ao que se escrevera deles, e segundo o seu tempo determinado, todos os anos.
28 And, these days, were to be remembered and to be kept, always from generation to generation, by every family, every province, and every city, —that, these days of Purim, should not pass away, out of the midst of the Jews, and, the memorial of them, not cease from their seed.
E que estes dias seriam lembrados e guardados por cada geração, família, província, e cidade, e que estes dias de purim não traspassariam dentre os judeus, e que a memória deles nunca teria fim entre os de sua semente.
29 Then wrote Esther the queen daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew, with all authority, —to confirm this second epistle concerning the Purim;
Depois disto escreveu a rainha Esther, filha de Abigail, e mardoqueu o judeu, com toda a força, para confirmarem segunda vez esta carta de purim.
30 and he sent letters unto all the Jews, throughout the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, —words of peace and stability:
E mandaram cartas a todos os judeus, às cento e vinte e sete províncias do reino de Assuero, com palavras de paz e fidelidade,
31 to establish these days of the Purim, in their set times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined upon them, and according as they had enjoined upon their own soul, and upon their seed, —the story of the fastings and of their outcry.
Para confirmarem estes dias de purim nos seus tempos determinados, como mardoqueu, o judeu, e a rainha Esther lhes tinham estabelecido, e como eles mesmos já o tinham estabelecido sobre si e sobre a sua semente, acerca do jejum e do seu clamor.
32 And, the command of Esther, confirmed the story of these Purim, —and it was written in a book.
E o mandado de Esther estabeleceu os sucessos daquele purim: e escreveu-se num livro.
