Esther 9
1 Now in the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, when the king's law and decree were about to be carried out, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain power over them, it was reversed. The Jews gained power over those who hated them.
Во вторыйнадесять месяц, иже есть Адар, в третийнадесять день месяца приидоша писания от царя.
2 The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who tried to bring disaster on them. No one could stand against them, for the fear of them had fallen on all the peoples.
В той же день погибоша супостаты Иудеев: ни един бо сопротивися им бояся их.
3 All the officials of the provinces, the provincial governors, the governors, and the king's administrators, helped the Jews because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
Началствующии бо странам и властителие и царстии книгочия почитаху Иудей:
4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai was becoming great.
страх бо Мардохеев належаше на них.
5 The Jews attacked their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them.
Приложися бо повеление царево именоватися ему по всему царствию.
6 In the fortress of Susa itself the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
И в Сусех граде избиша Иудее пять сот мужей:
7 They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Фарсана, нестанна и Делфона, и Фасгана
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
и Фардафана, и Вареа и Сарвакана,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizatha,
и Мармасима и Руфеа, и Арсеа и Завуфефама,
10 and the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. But they did not take any plunder.
десять сынов Амана Амадафуева Вугеанина врага Иудеом, иже от Фармафеа, и разграбиша в той день (имения их):
11 That day the number of those killed in the fortress of Susa, was reported to the king.
и сказаша число избиенных царю в Сусех граде.
12 The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be granted you. What is your request? It will be granted to 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 Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be permitted to carry out this day's decree tomorrow also, and let the bodies of Haman's ten sons be hanged on gallows.”
И рече Есфирь ко царю: да дастся такожде Иудеом творити заутра, яко да повесят десять сынов Амановых.
14 So the king commanded that this be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman.
И повеле царь тако быти, и попусти Иудеом вне града повесити телеса сынов Амановых.
15 The Jews who were in Susa came together on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and killed three hundred more men in Susa, but laid no hands on the plunder.
И собрашася Иудее, иже в Сусех, в четвертыйнадесять деень Адара, и избиша мужей триста, и ничтоже разграбиша.
16 The rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces came together to defend their lives, and they got relief from their enemies and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them, but they did not lay their hands on the valuables of those they killed.
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 This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. On the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.
И почиша в четвертыйнадесять день тогожде месяца и провождаху той день упокоения с радостию и веселием.
18 But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days. On the fifteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Иудее же в Сусех граде собрашася и в четвертыйнадесять почиша: проводиша же и пятыйнадесять с радостию и веселием.
19 That is why the Jews of the villages, who make their homes in the rural towns, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of gladness and feasting, and as a day on which they send gifts of food to one another.
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 Mordecai recorded these things and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
Написа же Мардохей словеса сия в книгу и посла Иудеом, елицы беша в царствии Артаксерксове, близ и далече сущым,
21 obligating them to keep the fourteenth and the fifteenth day of Adar every year.
уставити дни сия благи, еже провождати четвертыйнадесять и пятыйнадесять день Адара:
22 These were the days when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and the month when their sorrow turned to joy, and mourning into a day of celebration. They were to make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending gifts of food to one another, and gifts 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 So the Jews continued the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them.
И прияша Иудее, якоже написа им Мардохей:
24 At that time Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and he threw Pur (that is, he threw lots), to crush and destroy them.
како Аман Амадафуев Македонянин ратоваше Иудеев, и како изнесе суд и жребий, еже погубити их,
25 But when the matter came before the king, he gave orders by letters that the wicked plan Haman developed against the Jews should come back on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
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 they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Because of everything that was written in this letter, and everything that they had seen and that had 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 the Jews accepted a new custom and duty. This custom would be for themselves, their descendants, and everyone who joined them. It would be that they would celebrate these two days every year. They would celebrate them in a certain way and at the same time each year.
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 These days were to be celebrated and observed in every generation, every family, every province, and every city. These Jews and their descendants would never cease to faithfully observe these days of Purim, so that they should never forget them.
Дние же сии Фурим да провождают во всякое лето, и память да не оскудеет от родов.
29 Queen Esther daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew wrote with full authority and confirmed this second letter about Purim.
И написа Есфирь царица дщи Аминадавля и Мардохей Иудеанин, елика сотвориша во утверждение епистолии о днех Фурим.
30 Letters were sent to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, wishing the Jews safety and truth.
31 These letters confirmed the days of Purim at their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther obligated the Jews. The Jews accepted this obligation for themselves and their descendants, just as also they accepted times of fasting and lamenting.
И Мардохей и Есфирь царица устависта себе сами, и тогда устависта в посте своем совет свой.
32 The command of Esther confirmed these regulations regarding Purim, and it was written in the book.
И Есфирь слово постави во веки, и написано бысть в память.
