Esteres 9
1 Tad nu divpadsmitā mēnesī, tas ir Adara mēnesis, trīspadsmitā dienā, kad pēc ķēniņa vārda un pavēles notikās, tai dienā, kad Jūdu ienaidnieki cerēja tos pārvarēt, bet tas otrādi pārgriezās, ka Jūdi pārvarēja savus nīdētājus, -
Therefore, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said before is called Adar, when all the Jews were prepared to be executed and their enemies were greedy for their blood, the situation turned around, and the Jews began to have the upper hand and to vindicate themselves of their adversaries.
2 Tad Jūdi sapulcējās savās pilsētās pa visām ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīm, ka tie rokas pieliktu pie tiem, kas viņu nelaimi meklēja, un neviens nepastāvēja viņu priekšā, jo bailes no viņiem bija nākušas pār visiem ļaudīm.
And they gathered together throughout each city, and town, and place, so as to extend their hands against their enemies and their persecutors. And no one dared to resist them, because their great power had pierced all the peoples.
3 Un visi lielkungi pa tām valstīm un valdnieki un zemes valdītāji un ķēniņa mantas uzraugi godāja Jūdus, jo bailes no Mardakaja pār tiem bija nākušas.
For even the judges of the provinces, and the rulers, and the procurators, and everyone of dignity, who presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mordecai.
4 Jo Mardakajs bija liels ķēniņa namā, un viņa slava izgāja pa visām valstīm, jo tas vīrs Mardakajs tapa jo dienas jo augstāks.
For they knew him to be the leader of the palace and to have much power. Likewise, the fame of his name increased daily and flew everywhere through word of mouth.
5 Bet Jūdi kāvās pret visiem saviem ienaidniekiem, ar zobenu kaudami un nokaudami un nomaitādami, un darīja ar saviem nīdētājiem pēc sava prāta.
And so the Jews struck their enemies like a great plague and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them,
6 Un Sūsanas pilī Jūdi ir nokāvuši un nomaitājuši piecsimt vīrus
so much so that even in Susa they executed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Haman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews, and their names are these:
7 Un Parzandatu un Dalvonu un Azvatu
Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha
8 Un Poratu un Adaliju un Aridatu
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Un Parmastu un Arisaju un Aridaju un Vajezatu.
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha.
10 Amana, Medatus dēla, Jūdu ienaidnieka, desmit dēlus tie nokāva, bet tie savas rokas nepielika pie laupījuma.
When they had slain them, they were unwilling to touch the spoils of their belongings.
11 Tai dienā nokauto skaits tapa zināms ķēniņam Sūsanas pilī.
And immediately the number of those who had been killed in Susa was reported to the king.
12 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz ķēniņieni Esteri: Sūsanas pilī Jūdi ir nokāvuši un nomaitājuši piecsimt vīrus, un arī Amana desmit dēlus, ko tad tie nebūs darījuši citās ķēniņa valstīs? Un nu, kas ir tava lūgšana, tas tev taps dots; un kas vēl tava prasīšana, tai būs notikt.
He said to the queen, “In the city of Susa, the Jews have executed five hundred men, and also the ten sons of Haman. How many executions do you think that they have carried out in all the provinces? What more do you ask, and what do you wish, so that I may order it to be done?”
13 Tad Estere sacīja: ja ķēniņam patīk, tad lai tie Jūdi, kas ir Sūsanā, arī rītu dara pēc šīs dienas atvēlēšanas, un lai Amana desmit dēli pie koka top pakārti.
And she answered, “If it pleases the king, may power be granted to the Jews, so as to do tomorrow in Susa just as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Haman may be hung up the gallows.”
14 Tad ķēniņš pavēlēja, lai to dara, un tā pavēle tapa dota Sūsanā, un tie pakāra Amana desmit dēlus.
And the king instructed that it should be so done. And immediately the edict was hung up in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman were hung up.
15 Un tie Jūdi, kas bija Sūsanā, sapulcējās četrpadsmitā dienā, Adara mēnesī, un nokāva Sūsanā trīssimt vīrus, bet tie savu roku nepielika pie laupījuma.
On the fourteenth day of the month Adar, the Jews gathered themselves together, and they executed in Susa three hundred men, but they did not seize their belongings from them.
16 Un tie citi Jūdi, kas bija ķēniņa valstīs, sapulcējās, ka tie savas dzīvības labad kautos un ka tiem miers būtu no saviem ienaidniekiem, un tie nokāva no saviem nīdētājiem septiņdesmit piecus tūkstošus, bet tie savas rokas nepielika pie laupījuma.
Moreover, throughout all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion, the Jews made a stand for their lives, and they executed their enemies and their persecutors, so much so that the number of those who were killed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and yet no one touched any of their belongings.
17 Tas notikās trīspadsmitā dienā, Adara mēnesī, un viņa četrpadsmitā dienā tie dusēja, un šo dienu iecēla par dzīru un līksmības dienu.
Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with all of the executions, and on the fourteenth day they ceased the killing. This day they established to be sacred, so that in all times hereafter they would be free for feasting, joyfulness, and celebration.
18 Bet tie Jūdi, kas Sūsanā bija sapulcējušies trīspadsmitā un četrpadsmitā dienā, tie dusēja piecpadsmitā dienā un to iecēla par dzīru un līksmības dienu.
But, as for those who were carrying out the killings in the city of Susa, they turned to killing on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month. But on the fifteenth day they ceased to attack. And for that reason they established that day as sacred, with feasting and with gladness.
19 Tāpēc tie Jūdi, kas ciemos un miestos dzīvoja, to četrpadsmito Adara mēneša dienu cēla par prieku un dzīru un svētku dienu, un kur cits citam sūtīja dāvanas.
But in truth, those Jews who were staying in unwalled towns and villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for celebration and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day and send one another portions of their feasts and their meals.
20 Un Mardakajs uzrakstīja šās lietas un sūtīja grāmatas pie visiem Jūdiem, kas bija visās ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīs tuvu un tālu,
And so Mordecai wrote down all these things and sent them, composed in letters, to the Jews who were staying in all the king’s provinces, as much to those in nearby places as to those far away,
21 Tiem par stipru likumu iestādīdams, lai četrpadsmito un piecpadsmito Adara mēneša dienu ik gadus svētī,
so that they would accept the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always, at the return of the year, would celebrate them with sacred esteem.
22 Tādēļ ka pa tām dienām Jūdi bija mieru dabūjuši no saviem ienaidniekiem, un tādēļ ka tai mēnesī viņu noskumšana bija pārvērtusies par prieku un viņu bēdas par labām dienām, lai tie tās dara par dzīru un līksmības dienām un sūta cits citam dāvinājumus un nabagiem dāvanas.
For on those days, the Jews vindicated themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, so that these would be days of feasting and gladness, in which they would send one another portions of their feasts, and would grant gifts to the poor.
23 Un Jūdi pieņēma, kā tie bija sākuši darīt, un ko Mardakajs tiem bija rakstījis.
And the Jews accepted as a solemn ritual all the things which they had begun to do at that time, which Mordecai had commanded with letters to be done.
24 Proti ka Amans, Medatus dēls, tas Agaģietis, visu Jūdu ienaidnieks, pret Jūdiem bija nodomājis, tos izdeldēt, un ka viņš metis meslus, tas ir pur, tos biedināt un nomaitāt.
For Haman, the son of Hammedatha of Agag lineage, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and to destroy them. And he had cast Pur, which in our language means the lot.
25 Bet kad (Estere) ķēniņa priekšā nākusi, tad šis caur grāmatām pavēlējis, ka viņa niknās domas, ko viņš par Jūdiem bija nodomājis, atgrieztos uz viņa galvu, un tie viņu ar viņa dēliem pakāruši pie koka.
And after this, Esther had entered before the king, begging him that his efforts might be made ineffective by the king’s letters, and that the evil he intended against the Jews might return upon his own head. Finally, both he and his sons were fastened to a cross.
26 Tādēļ tie šās dienas sauca purim, no tā meslu vārda „pur“. Tādēļ pēc visiem tiem vārdiem tai grāmatā, un ko tie paši bija redzējuši un kas tiem bija noticis,
And so, from that time, these days are called Purim, that is, of the lots, because Pur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that had been carried out are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book.
27 Jūdi to iecēla un nolika priekš sevis un saviem bērniem un visiem, kas viņiem pieķērās, ka to nepārkāptu, bet ka svētītu šās divas dienas pēc viņu rakstiem un pēc viņu nospriestā laika ikgadus;
And whatever they suffered, and whatever was altered afterwards, the Jews received for themselves and their offspring and for all who were willing to be joined to their religion, so that none would be permitted to transgress the solemnity of these two days, to which the writing testifies, and which certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.
28 Ka šīs dienas taptu pieminētas un turētas pie visiem pēcnākamiem, ikvienā augumā, ikvienā radā, ikvienā valstī un ikvienā pilsētā, un ka tās purim dienas nepārkāptu Jūdu starpā un ka viņu piemiņa netaptu aizmirsta pie viņu bērnu bērniem.
These are the days which no one ever will erase into oblivion, and which every province in the whole world, throughout each generation, shall celebrate. Neither is there any city wherein the days of Purim, that is, of lots, may not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which has been obligated to these ceremonies.
29 Un ķēniņiene Estere, Abikaīla meita, un Mardakajs, tas Jūds, rakstīja it tikuši(ar visu savu spēku un ietekmi) apstiprināt šo otru grāmatu par tiem purim.
And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, also wrote a second letter, so that with all zealousness this day would be confirmed as customary for future generations.
30 Un viņš sūtīja grāmatas visiem Jūdiem uz visām simts divdesmit septiņām ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīm ar miera un uzticības vārdiem,
And they sent to all the Jews, who had been stirred up in the one hundred twenty-seven provinces of king Artaxerxes, that they should have peace and receive truth,
31 Lai tie šīs purim dienas pastāvīgi svētī savā nospriestā laikā, tā kā Mardakajs, tas Jūds, un ķēniņiene Estere to bija iecēluši, un tā kā tie paši sev un savam dzimumam bija apstiprinājuši, līdz ar to gavēņu un gaudu iestādījumu.
and observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy at their proper time, just as Mordecai and Esther had established. And they accepted these to be observed by themselves and by their offspring: fasting, and crying out, and the days of lots,
32 Un Estere apstiprināja ar savu pavēli šos purim likumus, un tie tapa ierakstīti grāmatā.
and all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
