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, -
The first law that the king had commanded was to be made effective on March 7th. On that day the enemies of the Jews hoped to get rid of them. But instead, on that same day the Jews defeated their enemies.
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.
Throughout the empire, the Jews gathered together in their cities to attack those who wanted to get rid of them. No one could fight against the Jews, because all the other people in the areas where the Jews lived were afraid of them, [so they did not want to help anyone who attacked the Jews].
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.
All the governors and [other] officials and important people in all the provinces helped the Jews, because they were afraid 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.
They were afraid of him because in all the provinces [they knew that] Mordecai was now the king’s most important official, [with the authority that Haman previously had]. Mordecai was becoming more famous because [the king was giving him] more and more power.
5 Bet Jūdi kāvās pret visiem saviem ienaidniekiem, ar zobenu kaudami un nokaudami un nomaitādami, un darīja ar saviem nīdētājiem pēc sava prāta.
[On March 7th, ] the Jews attacked and killed with their swords all of their enemies. They did whatever they wanted to do, to the people who hated them.
6 Un Sūsanas pilī Jūdi ir nokāvuši un nomaitājuši piecsimt vīrus
[Just] in Susa alone, the capital city, they killed 500 people.
7 Un Parzandatu un Dalvonu un Azvatu
Among those whom they killed were the ten sons of Haman. [Their names were] Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 Un Poratu un Adaliju un Aridatu
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 Un Parmastu un Arisaju un Aridaju un Vajezatu.
Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha.
10 Amana, Medatus dēla, Jūdu ienaidnieka, desmit dēlus tie nokāva, bet tie savas rokas nepielika pie laupījuma.
Those were grandsons of Hammedatha and sons of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. The Jews killed them, but they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
11 Tai dienā nokauto skaits tapa zināms ķēniņam Sūsanas pilī.
[At the end of] that day someone reported to the king the number of people whom the Jews killed in Susa.
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.
Then the king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed 500 people here in Susa, including the ten sons of Haman! [So I think that] they must have killed many more people in the rest of my empire [RHQ]! [But okay], now what else do you want me to do for you. You tell me, and I will do it.”
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.
Esther replied, “If it pleases you, allow the Jews here in Susa to do again tomorrow what [you] commanded [them] to do today. And command that the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows/poles.”
14 Tad ķēniņš pavēlēja, lai to dara, un tā pavēle tapa dota Sūsanā, un tie pakāra Amana desmit dēlus.
So the king commanded that the Jews be permitted to kill more of their enemies the next day. After he issued [another] order in Susa, the bodies of Haman’s ten sons were hanged.
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 next day, the Jews in Susa gathered together and killed 300 more people. But [again, ] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
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.
That happened on March 8th. On the following day, the Jews [in Susa] rested and celebrated. In all the other provinces, the Jewish people gathered together to defend themselves, and they killed 75,000 people who hated them, but [again] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
17 Tas notikās trīspadsmitā dienā, Adara mēnesī, un viņa četrpadsmitā dienā tie dusēja, un šo dienu iecēla par dzīru un līksmības dienu.
That occurred on March 7th, and on the following day they rested and celebrated.
18 Bet tie Jūdi, kas Sūsanā bija sapulcējušies trīspadsmitā un četrpadsmitā dienā, tie dusēja piecpadsmitā dienā un to iecēla par dzīru un līksmības dienu.
After the Jews in Susa gathered together [and killed their enemies] on March 7th and 8th, they rested and celebrated on March 9th.
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.
That is why [every year], on March 8th, the Jews who live in villages now celebrate [defeating their enemies]. They have feasts and give gifts [of food] to each other.
20 Un Mardakajs uzrakstīja šās lietas un sūtīja grāmatas pie visiem Jūdiem, kas bija visās ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīs tuvu un tālu,
Mordecai wrote down all the things that had happened. Then he sent letters to the Jews who lived throughout the empire of King Xerxes.
21 Tiem par stipru likumu iestādīdams, lai četrpadsmito un piecpadsmito Adara mēneša dienu ik gadus svētī,
He told them that every year they should celebrate on the 8th and 9th of March,
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.
because those were the days when the Jews got rid of their enemies. He also told them that they should celebrate on those days by feasting and giving gifts [of food] to each other and to poor people. They would remember it as the month in which they changed from being very sorrowful to being very joyful, from crying to celebrating.
23 Un Jūdi pieņēma, kā tie bija sākuši darīt, un ko Mardakajs tiem bija rakstījis.
So the Jews agreed to do what Mordecai wrote. They agreed to celebrate on those days [every year].
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.
They would remember how Haman, son of Hammedatha, a descendant of [King] Agag, became an enemy of all the Jews. [They would remember] how he had made an evil plan to kill the Jews, and that he had (cast lots/thrown small marked stones) to choose the day to kill [DOU] them.
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.
[They would remember] that when Esther told the king about Haman’s plan, the king arranged that the evil plan that Haman had made to kill the Jews would fail, and that he [would be killed] instead of the Jews, and that Haman and that his sons were hanged.
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,
[Because the (lot/small marked stone) that Haman threw was called] Pur, the Jews called these days Purim. And, because of everything that ([Mordecai] wrote/was written) in that letter, and because of all that happened to them,
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;
the Jews [throughout the empire] agreed to celebrate in that manner on those two days every year. They said that they would tell their descendants and those people who became Jews to be certain to celebrate this festival every year. They should celebrate just as [Mordecai] told them to do [in the letter] that he wrote.
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.
They said that they would remember and celebrate on those two days every year, in each family, in every city, and in every province. They solemnly declared that they and their descendants would never stop remembering and celebrating those days called Purim.
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.
Then Mordecai and Queen Esther, who was the daughter of Abihail, wrote a second letter about the Purim feast. Esther used the authority that she had because of being the queen to confirm that what Mordecai had written in the first letter was true.
30 Un viņš sūtīja grāmatas visiem Jūdiem uz visām simts divdesmit septiņām ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīm ar miera un uzticības vārdiem,
What they wrote [in the second letter] was, “We wish that all of you will be living peacefully and safely/righteously. We want you and your descendants to celebrate Purim each year on the days that we two established, and to do the things that we two told you to do.” In that letter, Queen Esther and Mordecai also gave them instructions about (fasting/abstaining from eating food) and being sorrowful. Then copies of that letter were sent to all the Jews who were living in the 127 provinces of the empire.
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.
32 Un Estere apstiprināja ar savu pavēli šos purim likumus, un tie tapa ierakstīti grāmatā.
The letter that Esther wrote about the manner in which they should celebrate the Purim feast was also written in an official record.
