Esteres 8
1 Tanī dienā ķēniņš Ahasverus deva ķēniņienei Esterei Amana, tā Jūdu ienaidnieka, namu, un Mardakajs nāca ķēniņa priekšā, jo Estere bija stāstījusi, kas viņš tai esot.
That day the king gave all the family of Haman, the hater of the Jews, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had made clear what he was to her.
2 Un ķēniņš novilka savu gredzenu, ko no Amana bija ņēmis, un to deva Mardakajam, un Estere iecēla Mardakaju pār Amana namu.
And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther put Mordecai over the family of Haman.
3 Un Estere runāja vēl ķēniņa priekšā un krita viņam pie kājām un raudāja un viņu lūdza, ka viņš atņemtu Amana, tā Agaģieša, ļaunumu un viņa nodomu, ko viņš izdomājis pret Jūdiem.
Then Esther again came before the king, falling down at his feet, and made request to him with weeping, that he would put a stop to the evil purposes of Haman the Agagite and the designs which he had made against the Jews.
4 Tad ķēniņš Esterei piesniedza zelta scepteri, un Estere cēlās un stāvēja ķēniņa priekšā.
Then the king put out the rod of gold to Esther, and she got up before the king.
5 Un viņa sacīja: ja ķēniņam patīk, un ja es žēlastību esmu atradusi viņa priekšā, un ja tas pareizi ir ķēniņa priekšā, un es patīkama esmu viņa acīs, tad lai top rakstīts, ka Amana, Medatus, tā Agaģieša dēla, grāmatas un domas top iznīcinātas, ko viņš rakstījis, gribēdams Jūdus nomaitāt, kas ir visās ķēniņa valstīs.
And she said, If it is the king's pleasure and if I have his approval and this thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing to him, then let letters be sent giving orders against those which Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, sent out for the destruction of the Jews in all divisions of the kingdom:
6 Jo kā es varētu redzēt to nelaimi, kas maniem ļaudīm uzies, un kā es varētu uzlūkot savu radu nomaitāšanu?
For how is it possible for me to see the evil which is to overtake my nation? how may I see the destruction of my people?
7 Tad ķēniņš Ahasverus sacīja uz ķēniņieni Esteri un uz Jūdu Mardakaju: redzi, Amana namu es esmu devis Esterei, un viņš ir pakārts pie koka, tādēļ ka savu roku pielicis pie Jūdiem.
Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on the Jews.
8 Tad nu jūs rakstiet par tiem Jūdiem, kā jums patīk ķēniņa vārdā un aizspiežat to ar ķēniņa gredzenu, jo to rakstu, kas ķēniņa vārdā rakstīts un ar ķēniņa zieģeli aizspiests, to nedrīkst pārgrozīt.
So now send a letter about the Jews, writing whatever seems good to you, in the king's name, and stamping it with the king's ring: for a writing signed in the king's name and stamped with the king's ring may not be changed.
9 Tad ķēniņa rakstītāji tanī laikā tapa aicināti trešā mēnesī, tas ir Zivana mēnesis, divdesmit trešā dienā, un tapa rakstīts, tā kā Mardakajs pavēlēja, Jūdiem un valdniekiem un zemes valdītājiem un valsts lieliem kungiem, no Indijas līdz Moru zemei, simts divdesmit septiņās valstīs un uz ikvienu valsti viņas rakstā un uz ikvienu tautu viņas valodā, un Jūdiem pēc viņu rakstiem un pēc viņu valodas.
Then at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, the king's scribes were sent for; and everything ordered by Mordecai was put in writing and sent to the Jews and the captains and the rulers and the chiefs of all the divisions of the kingdom from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven divisions, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing and their language.
10 Un tas tapa rakstīts ķēniņa Ahasverus vārdā un aizspiests ar ķēniņa gredzenu. Un tās grāmatas tapa sūtītas caur skrējējiem, kas jāja uz čakliem zirgiem no ķēniņa staļļiem.
The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses:
11 Ķēniņš atļaujot Jūdiem visās pilsētās sapulcēties un savu dzīvību aizstāvēt, izdeldēt, nokaut un nomaitāt visu to ļaužu un valsts spēku, kas nāktu virsū, laupīt bērnus un sievas, un viņu mantu, -
In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives, and to send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force,
12 Vienā dienā, pa visām ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīm, trīspadsmitā dienā divpadsmitā mēnesī, tas ir Adara mēnesis.
On one day in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, that is, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.
13 Tais grāmatās bija rakstīts: ka pavēle dota pa visām valstīm, ka visiem ļaudīm nāk zināms, lai Jūdi ir gatavi uz to dienu atriebties pie saviem ienaidniekiem.
A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.
14 Tad tie skrējēji izgāja jāšus ar ķēniņa čakliem zirgiem ātri steigdamies, pēc ķēniņa vārda, un tā pavēle tapa dota Sūsanas pilī.
So the men went out on the quick-running horses used on the king's business, wasting no time and forced on by the king's order; and the order was given out in Shushan, the king's town.
15 Un Mardakajs izgāja no ķēniņa ar pazilām un baltām ķēniņa drēbēm un ar lielu zelta kroni un ar uzvalku no dārga audekla un purpura, un Sūsanas pilsēta gavilēja un līksmojās.
And Mordecai went out from before the king, dressed in king-like robes of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold and clothing of purple and the best linen: and all the town of Shushan gave loud cries of joy.
16 Pie Jūdiem bija spožums un līksmība un prieks un gods.
And the Jews had light and joy and honour.
17 Un visās valstīs un visās pilsētās, kur ķēniņa vārds un pavēle nāca zināmi, bija prieks un līksmība pie Jūdiem, dzīres un labas dienas, un daudz no pagāniem palika par Jūdiem, jo bailes no Jūdiem tiem bija uzkritušas.
And in every part of the kingdom and in every town, wherever the king's letter and his order came, the Jews were glad with great joy, and had a feast and a good day. And a great number of the people of the land became Jews: for the fear of the Jews had come on them.
