Estera 9
1 Torej v dvanajstem mesecu, ki je mesec adár, na trinajsti dan istega, ko sta se kraljeva zapoved in njegov odlok približala izvršitvi, na dan, ko so sovražniki Judov upali, da bodo imeli oblast nad njimi (čeprav je bilo to obrnjeno ravno nasprotno, da so Judje vladali nad tistimi, ki so jih sovražili),
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them; whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;
2 so se Judje zbrali skupaj v svojih mestih, po vseh provincah kralja Ahasvérja, da položijo roko na tiste, ki so iskali njihovo bolečino in noben človek se jim ni mogel zoperstaviti, kajti strah pred njimi je padel na vse ljudstvo.
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples.
3 Vsi vladarji provinc, poročniki, namestniki in kraljevi častniki, so pomagali Judom, ker je nanje padel strah pred Mordohajem.
And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king’s business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them.
4 Kajti Mordohaj je bil velik v kraljevi hiši in njegova slava je šla po vseh provincah, kajti ta mož Mordohaj je postajal večji in večji.
For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces: for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5 Tako so Judje vse svoje sovražnike udarili z udarcem meča, pokolom in uničenjem. Tistim pa, ki so jih sovražili, so storili, kar so hoteli.
And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would unto them that hated them.
6 V palači Suze so Judje usmrtili in uničili petsto mož.
And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Paršandáta, Dalfóna, Aspáta,
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Poráta, Adaljája, Aridáta,
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parmášta, Arisája, Aridája, Jezáta,
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha,
10 deset sinov Hamedátovega sina Hamána, sovražnika Judov, so usmrtili, toda na plen niso položili svojih rok.
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, slew they; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
11 Na ta dan je bilo število tistih, ki so bili umorjeni v palači Suze, privedeno pred kralja.
On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
12 Kralj je kraljici Esteri rekel: »Judje so umorili in uničili petsto mož v palači Suze in deset Hamánovih sinov. Kaj so storili v preostalih kraljevih provincah? Torej kaj je tvoja prošnja? In ta ti bo zagotovljena. Ali kaj je tvoja nadaljnja zahteva? In ta bo storjena.«
And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
13 Potem je Estera rekla: »Če to ugaja kralju, naj bo to zagotovljeno Judom, ki so v [mestu] Suze, da prav tako storijo jutri, glede na odlok današnjega dne in naj bo Hamánovih deset sinov obešenih na vislice.«
Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
14 Kralj je zapovedal, da naj bo tako storjeno. Odlok je bil izdan v [mestu] Suze in obesili so Hamánovih deset sinov.
And the king commanded it so to be done: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
15 Kajti Judje, ki so bili v [mestu] Suze, so se zbrali skupaj tudi na štirinajsti dan meseca adárja in v [mestu] Suze usmrtili tristo mož. Toda na plen niso položili svojih rok.
And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
16 Tudi drugi Judje, ki so bili v kraljevih provincah, so se zbrali skupaj in stali za svoja življenja in imeli počitek pred svojimi nasprotniki in jih izmed svojih sovražnikov usmrtili petinsedemdeset tisoč, toda svojih rok niso položili na plen.
And the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
17 Na trinajsti dan meseca adárja in na štirinajsti dan istega so počivali in to naredili za dan praznovanja in veselja.
[This was done] on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18 Toda Judje, ki so bili v [mestu] Suze zbrani skupaj na njegov trinajsti dan in na njegov štirinajsti in na petnajsti dan istega, so počivali in to naredili za dan praznovanja in veselja.
But the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth [day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Zato so Judje po vaseh, ki prebivajo v mestih brez obzidja, naredili štirinajsti dan meseca adárja za dan veselja in praznovanja in dober dan in pošiljanja deležev drug drugemu.
Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar [a day of] gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
20 Mordohaj je napisal te stvari in poslal pisma vsem Judom, ki so bili po vseh provincah Kralja Ahasvérja, tako bližnjim kakor daljnim,
And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
21 da to utrdi med njimi, da naj letno ohranjajo štirinajsti dan meseca adárja in petnajsti dan istega,
to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
22 kakor dneva, na katera so Judje počivali pred svojimi sovražniki in mesec, ki je bil obrnjen k njim, od bridkosti v radost in od žalovanja v dober dan, da si bodo lahko pripravili dneve praznovanja in radosti in pošiljanja deležev drug drugemu in daril ubogim.
as the days wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
23 Judje so se lotili, da storijo, kakor so začeli in kakor jim je Mordohaj zapisal,
And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
24 ker je Hamán, Hamedátov sin, Agágovec, sovražnik vseh Judov, zoper Jude zasnoval, da jih uniči in vrgel pur, to je žreb, da jih ugonobi in da jih uniči,
because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
25 toda ko je Estera prišla pred kralja, je ta s pismi zapovedal, da naj se njegov zlobni naklep, ki ga je zasnoval zoper Jude, vrne na njegovo lastno glavo in da naj bodo on in njegovi sinovi obešeni na vislice.
but when [the matter] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and that he and his sons should he hanged on the gallows.
26 Zato so ta dneva imenovali purim, po imenu pur. Zato so – po vseh besedah tega pisma in od tega, kar so videli glede te zadeve in kar je prišlo k njim –
Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of 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 unto them,
27 Judje odredili in vzeli nase in na svoje potomstvo in na vse tiste, ki so se jim pridružili, tako da to ne bi prešlo, da bodo vsako leto ta dva dneva ohranjali glede na njihovo pisanje in glede na njihov določeni čas.
the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing thereof, and according to the appointed time thereof, every year;
28 In da se bodo teh [dveh] dni spominjali in držali skozi vse rodove, vsaka družina, vsaka provinca in vsako mesto in da ta dneva purima med Judi ne bi prešla niti spomin nanju ne izgine od njihovega potomstva.
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 among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
29 Potem je kraljica Estera, hči Abihájila in Juda Mordohaja, z vso oblastjo napisala, da potrjuje to drugo pismo o purimu.
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 In poslal je pisma vsem Judom, v sto sedemindvajset provinc Ahasvérjevega kraljestva, z besedami miru in resnice,
And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words of peace and truth,
31 da potrdi ta [dva] dneva purima, na njun določeni čas, glede na to, kakor sta jima Jud Mordohaj in kraljica Estera predpisala in kakor so odredili zase in za svoje potomstvo zadeve posta in njihovega joka.
to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.
32 Esterin odlok je potrdil te stvari o purimu in to je bilo zapisano v knjigo.
And the commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
