< Esther 3 >

1 After these things hath the king Ahasuerus exalted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and lifteth him up, and setteth his throne above all the heads who [are] with him,
Poslije toga podiže car Asvir Amana sina Amedatina, Agageja, i uzvisi ga, i namjesti mu prijesto više svijeh knezova što bijahu kod njega.
2 and all servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, are bowing and doing obeisance to Haman, for so hath the king commanded for him; and Mordecai doth not bow nor do obeisance.
I sve sluge careve što bijahu na vratima carevijem klanjahu se i padahu pred Amanom, jer tako bješe car zapovjedio za nj. Ali Mardohej ne klanjaše se niti padaše.
3 And the servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, say to Mordecai, 'Wherefore [art] thou transgressing the command of the king?'
I sluge careve što bijahu na vratima carevijem govorahu Mardoheju: zašto prestupaš zapovijest carevu?
4 And it cometh to pass, in their speaking unto him, day by day, and he hath not hearkened unto them, that they declare [it] to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai do stand, for he hath declared to them that he [is] a Jew.
I pošto mu od dana na dan govoriše a on ne posluša, javiše Amanu da vide hoæe li ostati rijeèi Mardohejeve, jer im bješe kazao da je Judejac.
5 And Haman seeth that Mordecai is not bowing and doing obeisance to him, and Haman is full of fury,
A kad vidje Aman da se Mardohej ne klanja niti pada pred njim, napuni se gnjeva Aman.
6 and it is contemptible in his eyes to put forth a hand on Mordecai by himself, for they have declared to him the people of Mordecai, and Haman seeketh to destroy all the Jews who [are] in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus — the people of Mordecai.
Ali mišljaše da nije vrijedno da digne ruku na Mardoheja samoga, jer mu kazaše kojega naroda bješe Mardohej, nego gledaše da istrijebi sve Judejce što bijahu po svemu carstvu Asvirovu, narod Mardohejev.
7 In the first month — it [is] the month of Nisan — in the twelfth year of the king Ahasuerus, hath one caused to fall Pur (that [is] the lot) before Haman, from day to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth, it [is] the month of Adar.
Prvoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Nisan, godine dvanaeste carovanja Asvirova, bacaše Fur, to jest ždrijeb, pred Amanom, od dana do dana i od mjeseca do mjeseca, do dvanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Adar.
8 And Haman saith to the king Ahasuerus, 'There is one people scattered and separated among the peoples, in all provinces of thy kingdom, and their laws [are] diverse from all people, and the laws of the king they are not doing, and for the king it is not profitable to suffer them;
I Aman reèe caru Asviru: ima narod rasijan i rasut po narodima po svijem zemljama carstva tvojega, kojega su zakoni drukèiji od zakona svijeh naroda, i ne izvršuje zakona carevijeh, pa nije probitaèno caru da ih ostavi.
9 if to the king [it be] good, let it be written to destroy them, and ten thousand talents of silver I weigh into the hands of those doing the work, to bring [it] in unto the treasuries of the king.'
Ako je caru ugodno, da se piše da se istrijebe; i ja æu izmjeriti deset tisuæa talanata srebra u ruke pristavima da donesu u carevu riznicu.
10 And the king turneth aside his signet from off his hand, and giveth it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of the Jews;
Tada car snimi prsten s ruke svoje i dade ga Amanu sinu Amedatinu Agageju neprijatelju Judejskom.
11 and the king saith to Haman, 'The silver is given to thee, and the people, to do with it as [it is] good in thine eyes.'
I reèe Amanu: to srebro neka tebi, a od naroda èini što ti je drago.
12 And scribes of the king are called, on the first month, on the thirteenth day of it, and it is written according to all that Haman hath commanded, unto lieutenants of the king, and unto the governors who [are] over province and province, and unto the heads of people and people, province and province, according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, in the name of the king Ahasuerus it hath been written and sealed with the signet of the king,
Zato dozvaše pisare careve prvoga mjeseca trinaestoga dana, i napisa se sve kako zapovjedi Aman, namjesnicima carevijem i vojvodama u svakoj zemlji i knezovima svakoga naroda, svakoj zemlji pismom njezinijem i svakomu narodu jezikom njegovijem, u ime cara Asvira napisa se i prstenom carevijem zapeèati se.
13 and letters to be sent by the hand of the runners unto all provinces of the king, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy all the Jews, from young even unto old, infant and women, on one day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month — it [is] the month of Adar — and their spoil to seize,
I razaslaše se knjige po glasnicima u sve zemlje careve da potru, pobiju i istrijebe sve Judejce, staro i mlado, djecu i žene u jedan dan, trinaestoga dana dvanaestoga mjeseca, koje je mjesec Adar, i da razgrabe imanje njihovo.
14 a copy of the writing to be made law in every province and province is revealed to all the peoples, to be ready for this day.
U knjigama se govoraše da se oglasi zapovijest po svijem zemljama i da se objavi svijem narodima da budu gotovi za onaj dan.
15 The runners have gone forth, hastened by the word of the king, and the law hath been given in Shushan the palace, and the king and Haman have sat down to drink, and the city Shushan is perplexed.
Glasnici otidoše brzo po zapovijesti carevoj, i zapovijest bi oglašena u Susanu carskom gradu. A car i Aman sjeðahu i pijahu, a grad se Susan smete.
