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; )
Во вторыйнадесять месяц, иже есть Адар, в третийнадесять день месяца приидоша писания от царя.
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 harm: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
В той же день погибоша супостаты Иудеев: ни един бо сопротивися им бояся их.
3 And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
Началствующии бо странам и властителие и царстии книгочия почитаху Иудей:
4 For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai became greater and greater.
страх бо Мардохеев належаше на них.
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.
Приложися бо повеление царево именоватися ему по всему царствию.
6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
И в Сусех граде избиша Иудее пять сот мужей:
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Фарсана, нестанна и Делфона, и Фасгана
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
и Фардафана, и Вареа и Сарвакана,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
и Мармасима и Руфеа, и Арсеа и Завуфефама,
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, they slew; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
десять сынов Амана Амадафуева Вугеанина врага Иудеом, иже от Фармафеа, и разграбиша в той день (имения их):
11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
и сказаша число избиенных царю в Сусех граде.
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 thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
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 Then said Esther, If it shall please the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do to morrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
И рече Есфирь ко царю: да дастся такожде Иудеом творити заутра, яко да повесят десять сынов Амановых.
14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
И повеле царь тако быти, и попусти Иудеом вне града повесити телеса сынов Амановых.
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 spoil they laid not their hand.
И собрашася Иудее, иже в Сусех, в четвертыйнадесять деень Адара, и избиша мужей триста, и ничтоже разграбиша.
16 But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and defended 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 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 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it 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 that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day of the month, and on the fourteenth of it; and on the fifteenth day of the same 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 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt 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.
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 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,
Написа же Мардохей словеса сия в книгу и посла Иудеом, елицы беша в царствии Артаксерксове, близ и далече сущым,
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,
уставити дни сия благи, еже провождати четвертыйнадесять и пятыйнадесять день Адара:
22 As the days in which 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.
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 undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them;
И прияша Иудее, якоже написа им Мардохей:
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;
како Аман Амадафуев Македонянин ратоваше Иудеев, и како изнесе суд и жребий, еже погубити их,
25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plot, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon 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. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come 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 ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon 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;
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 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 to be observed among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
Дние же сии Фурим да провождают во всякое лето, и память да не оскудеет от родов.
29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
И написа Есфирь царица дщи Аминадавля и Мардохей Иудеанин, елика сотвориша во утверждение епистолии о днех Фурим.
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,
31 To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had established for them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their lamentations.
И Мардохей и Есфирь царица устависта себе сами, и тогда устависта в посте своем совет свой.
32 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
И Есфирь слово постави во веки, и написано бысть в память.
