Esther 9
1 Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree came near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it turned out that the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),
I tako dvanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Adar, trinaestoga dana, kad doðe da se izvrši rijeè careva i zapovijest njegova, istoga dana kad se neprijatelji Judejski nadahu da æe obladati njima, preokrenu se, te Judejci obladaše svojim nenavidnicima.
2 the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the people.
Skupiše se Judejci u svojim gradovima po svijem zemljama cara Asvira da dignu ruke na one koji im tražahu zlo; i niko ne mogaše stajati pred njima; jer strah od njih popade sve narode.
3 All the princes of the provinces, the local governors, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
I svi knezovi zemaljski, namjesnici i upravitelji i koji opravljahu poslove careve, podupirahu Judejce, jer ih popade strah od Mardoheja.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.
Jer velik bijaše Mardohej u domu carevu, i slava njegova prolažaše sve zemlje, jer taj èovjek Mardohej bivaše sve veæi.
5 The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who hated them.
I tako pobiše Judejci sve neprijatelje svoje maèem i potrše i istrijebiše, i uèiniše što htješe od nenavidnika svojih.
6 In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
I u Susanu carskom gradu ubiše Judejci i istrijebiše pet stotina ljudi.
7 They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
I Farsandatu i Dalfona i Aspatu,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
I Poratu i Adaliju i Aridatu,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
I Farmastu i Arisaja i Aridaja i Vajezatu,
10 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
Deset sinova Amana sina Amedatina neprijatelja Judejskoga pobiše, ali na plijen ne digoše ruke svoje.
11 On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Susa was brought before the king.
U onaj dan kad javiše caru broj pobijenijeh u Susanu carskom gradu,
12 The king said to Esther the queen, “The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel 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 shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done.”
Reèe car Jestiri carici: u Susanu carskom gradu pobiše i potrše Judejci pet stotina ljudi i deset sinova Amanovijeh, a šta su uèinili po ostalijem zemljama carevijem? Šta želiš? daæe ti se; i šta još moliš? biæe.
13 Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”
A Jestira reèe: ako je ugodno caru, da se dopusti Judejcima u Susanu i sjutra da uèine po današnjoj naredbi i deset sinova Amanovijeh da objese na vješala.
14 The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Susa; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
I zapovjedi car da bude tako. I oglašena bi zapovijest u Susanu, i objesiše deset sinova Amanovijeh.
15 The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Susa; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
I Judejci koji bijahu u Susanu skupivši se i èetrnaestoga dana mjeseca Adara pobiše u Susanu tri stotine ljudi, ali na plijen ne digoše ruke svoje.
16 The other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
A ostali Judejci koji bijahu po zemljama carevijem skupiše se da brane život svoj i da se smire od neprijatelja svojih; i pobiše sedamdeset i pet tisuæa nenavidnika svojih; ali na plijen ne digoše ruke svoje.
17 This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
To bi trinaestoga dana mjeseca Adara; a èetrnaestoga poèinuše, i praznovaše taj dan gosteæi se i veseleæi se.
18 But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
A Judejci koji bijahu u Susanu skupiše se trinaestoga i èetrnaestoga dana istoga mjeseca, a poèinuše petnaestoga, i praznovaše taj dan gosteæi se i veseleæi se.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a holiday, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.
Zato Judejci seljani, koji žive po mjestima neograðenijem, praznuju èetrnaesti dan mjeseca Adara veseleæi se i gosteæi se i blagujuæi, i šaljuæi dijelove jedan drugom.
20 Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
Jer Mardohej napisa ovo, i razasla knjige svijem Judejcima koji bijahu po svijem zemljama cara Asvira, blizu i daleko,
21 to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,
Nareðujuæi im da praznuju dan èetrnaesti mjeseca Adara i petnaesti dan istoga mjeseca svake godine;
22 as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.
Prema danima u koje se smiriše Judejci od neprijatelja svojih i prema mjesecu kad im se pretvori žalost u radost i tuga u veselje, da te dane praznuju gosteæi se i veseleæi se i šaljuæi dijelove jedan drugom, i siromasima darove.
23 The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them,
I primiše svi Judejci da èine što su poèeli i što im pisa Mardohej.
24 because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast “Pur”, that is the lot, to consume them and to destroy them;
Jer Aman sin Amedatin Agagej neprijatelj svijeh Judejaca namisli za Judejce da ih istrijebi, i baci Fur, to jest ždrijeb, da ih potre i istrijebi.
25 but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plan, which he had planned against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
Ali kad Jestira izide pred cara, on zapovjedi knjigom, te se zla misao njegova koju smisli na Judejce obrati na njegovu glavu, i objesiše njega i sinove njegove na vješala.
26 Therefore they called these days “Purim”, from the word “Pur.” Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to them,
Zato prozvaše te dane Furim od imena Fur; i radi svijeh rijeèi te knjige i radi onoga što vidješe, tako i radi onoga što im se dogodi,
27 the Jews established and imposed on themselves, on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail that they would keep these two days according to what was written and according to its appointed time every year;
Postaviše Judejci i primiše na se i na sjeme svoje i na sve koji se udruže s njima da je nepromjenito da slave ta dva dana kao što je napisano za njih i na vrijeme koje je za njih odreðeno, svake godine,
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 amongst the Jews, nor their memory perish from their offspring.
I da se ti dani spominju i slave u svakom naraštaju, u svakoj porodici, u svakoj zemlji i u svakom gradu; i ti dani Furim da ne prestanu meðu Judejcima i spomen njihov da ne pogine u sjemenu njihovu.
29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
I pisa carica Jestira kæi Avihailova i Mardohej Judejac svakom tvrðom potvrðujuæi knjigu za Furim drugi put.
30 He sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus with words of peace and truth,
I Mardohej razasla knjigu svijem Judejcima u sto i dvadeset i sedam zemalja cara Asvira s rijeèima ljubaznijem i istinijem,
31 to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants in the matter of the fastings and their mourning.
Da tvrdo drže dane Furim na vrijeme kao što im je postavio Mardohej Judejac i carica Jestira i kao što sami postaviše sebi i sjemenu svojemu za spomen postu njihovu i vikanju njihovu.
32 The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Tako zapovijest Jestirina potvrdi uredbu za Furim, i bi zapisano u knjigu.
