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 of Adar, on the thirteenth day, when the king's law and decree were about to be carried out, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain power over them, it was reversed. The Jews gained power over those who 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 assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who tried to bring disaster on them. No one could stand against them, for the fear of them had fallen on all the peoples.
3 Vsi vladarji provinc, poročniki, namestniki in kraljevi častniki, so pomagali Judom, ker je nanje padel strah pred Mordohajem.
All the officials of the provinces, the provincial governors, the governors, and the king's administrators, helped the Jews because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on 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 spread throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai was becoming great.
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.
The Jews attacked their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them.
6 V palači Suze so Judje usmrtili in uničili petsto mož.
In the fortress of Susa itself the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Paršandáta, Dalfóna, Aspáta,
They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 Poráta, Adaljája, Aridáta,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 Parmášta, Arisája, Aridája, Jezáta,
Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizatha,
10 deset sinov Hamedátovega sina Hamána, sovražnika Judov, so usmrtili, toda na plen niso položili svojih rok.
and the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. But they did not take any plunder.
11 Na ta dan je bilo število tistih, ki so bili umorjeni v palači Suze, privedeno pred kralja.
That day the number of those killed in the fortress of Susa, was reported to 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.«
The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be granted you. What is your request? It will be granted to you.”
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.«
Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be permitted to carry out this day's decree tomorrow also, and let the bodies of Haman's ten sons be hanged on gallows.”
14 Kralj je zapovedal, da naj bo tako storjeno. Odlok je bil izdan v [mestu] Suze in obesili so Hamánovih deset sinov.
So the king commanded that this be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman.
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.
The Jews who were in Susa came together on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and killed three hundred more men in Susa, but laid no hands on the plunder.
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.
The rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces came together to defend their lives, and they got relief from their enemies and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them, but they did not lay their hands on the valuables of those they killed.
17 Na trinajsti dan meseca adárja in na štirinajsti dan istega so počivali in to naredili za dan praznovanja in veselja.
This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. On the fourteenth day they rested and made that 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 who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days. On the fifteenth day 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.
That is why the Jews of the villages, who make their homes in the rural towns, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of gladness and feasting, and as a day on which they send gifts of food to one another.
20 Mordohaj je napisal te stvari in poslal pisma vsem Judom, ki so bili po vseh provincah Kralja Ahasvérja, tako bližnjim kakor daljnim,
Mordecai recorded these things and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
21 da to utrdi med njimi, da naj letno ohranjajo štirinajsti dan meseca adárja in petnajsti dan istega,
obligating them to keep the fourteenth and the fifteenth day of Adar every year.
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.
These were the days when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and the month when their sorrow turned to joy, and mourning into a day of celebration. They were to make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending gifts of food to one another, and gifts to the poor.
23 Judje so se lotili, da storijo, kakor so začeli in kakor jim je Mordohaj zapisal,
So the Jews continued the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to 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,
At that time Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and he threw Pur (that is, he threw lots), to crush and 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 gave orders by letters that the wicked plan Haman developed against the Jews should come back on his own head, and that he and his sons should be 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 –
Therefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Because of everything that was written in this letter, and everything that they had seen and that had happened to 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 accepted a new custom and duty. This custom would be for themselves, their descendants, and everyone who joined them. It would be that they would celebrate these two days every year. They would celebrate them in a certain way and at the same time each 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.
These days were to be celebrated and observed in every generation, every family, every province, and every city. These Jews and their descendants would never cease to faithfully observe these days of Purim, so that they should never forget them.
29 Potem je kraljica Estera, hči Abihájila in Juda Mordohaja, z vso oblastjo napisala, da potrjuje to drugo pismo o purimu.
Queen Esther daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew wrote with full authority and confirmed this second letter about Purim.
30 In poslal je pisma vsem Judom, v sto sedemindvajset provinc Ahasvérjevega kraljestva, z besedami miru in resnice,
Letters were sent to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, wishing the Jews safety 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.
These letters confirmed the days of Purim at their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther obligated the Jews. The Jews accepted this obligation for themselves and their descendants, just as also they accepted times of fasting and lamenting.
32 Esterin odlok je potrdil te stvari o purimu in to je bilo zapisano v knjigo.
The command of Esther confirmed these regulations regarding Purim, and it was written in the book.
