أَسْتِير 3

١ 1 بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ عَظَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَحَشْوِيرُوشُ هَامَانَ بْنَ هَمَدَاثَا ٱلْأَجَاجِيَّ وَرَقَّاهُ، وَجَعَلَ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ.

After - the things these he made great the king Ahasuerus Haman [the] son of Hammedatha the Agagite and he exalted him and he placed seat his above all the officials who [were] with him.

٢ 2 فَكَانَ كُلُّ عَبِيدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ بِبَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ يَجْثُونَ وَيَسْجُدُونَ لِهَامَانَ، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا أَوْصَى بِهِ ٱلْمَلِكُ. وَأَمَّا مُرْدَخَايُ فَلَمْ يَجْثُ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ.

And all [the] servants of the king who [were] at [the] gate of the king [were] kneeling and bowing down to Haman for thus he had commanded to him the king and Mordecai not he knelt and not he bowed down.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ عَبِيدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِينَ بِبَابِ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِمُرْدَخَايَ: «لِمَاذَا تَتَعَدَّى أَمْرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ؟»

And they said [the] servants of the king who [were] at [the] gate of the king to Mordecai why? [are] you transgressing [the] commandment of the king.

٤ 4 وَإِذْ كَانُوا يُكَلِّمُونَهُ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ، أَخْبَرُوا هَامَانَ لِيَرَوْا هَلْ يَقُومُ كَلَامُ مُرْدَخَايَ، لِأَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِأَنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ.

And it was (just as spoke they *QK) to him a day and a day and not he listened to them and they told to Haman to see ¿ will they stand [the] words of Mordecai that he had told to them that he [was] a Jew.

٥ 5 وَلَمَّا رَأَى هَامَانُ أَنَّ مُرْدَخَايَ لَا يَجْثُو وَلَا يَسْجُدُ لَهُ، ٱمْتَلَأَ هَامَانُ غَضَبًا.

And he saw Haman that not Mordecai [was] kneeling and bowing down to him and he was filled Haman rage.

٦ 6 وَٱزْدُرِيَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ أَنْ يَمُدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى مُرْدَخَايَ وَحْدَهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْ شَعْبِ مُرْدَخَايَ. فَطَلَبَ هَامَانُ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي كُلِّ مَمْلَكَةِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ، شَعْبَ مُرْدَخَايَ.

And he despised in eyes his to stretch out a hand on Mordecai to only him if people had told to him [the] people of Mordecai and he sought Haman to annihilate all the Jews who [were] in all [the] kingdom of Ahasuerus [the] people of Mordecai.

٧ 7 فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، أَيْ شَهْرِ نِيسَانَ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ، كَانُوا يُلْقُونَ فُورًا، أَيْ قُرْعَةً، أَمَامَ هَامَانَ، مِنْ يَوْمٍ إِلَى يَوْمٍ، وَمِنْ شَهْرٍ إِلَى شَهْرٍ، إِلَى ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ، أَيْ شَهْرِ أَذَارَ.

In the month first that [is] [the] month of Nisan in year two plus ten of the king Ahasuerus someone cast Pur it [is] the lot before Haman from day - to day and from month to month (and it fell the lot on three [plus] ten day of month *X) two [plus] ten that [is] [the] month of Adar.

٨ 8 فَقَالَ هَامَانُ لِلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ: «إِنَّهُ مَوْجُودٌ شَعْبٌ مَّا مُتَشَتِّتٌ وَمُتَفَرِّقٌ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ فِي كُلِّ بِلَادِ مَمْلَكَتِكَ، وَسُنَنُهُمْ مُغَايِرَةٌ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَهُمْ لَا يَعْمَلُونَ سُنَنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَلَا يَلِيقُ بِٱلْمَلِكِ تَرْكُهُمْ.

And he said Haman to the king Ahasuerus there it [is] a people one scattered and separated among the peoples in all [the] provinces of kingdom your and laws their [are] differing from every people and [the] laws of the king not they [are] doing and for the king not [is] appropriate to let remain them.

٩ 9 فَإِذَا حَسُنَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ فَلْيُكْتَبْ أَنْ يُبَادُوا، وَأَنَا أَزِنُ عَشَرَةَ آلَافِ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ فِي أَيْدِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلْعَمَلَ لِيُؤْتَى بِهَا إِلَى خَزَائِنِ ٱلْمَلِكِ».

If [is] on the king good let it be written to destroy them and ten thousand talent[s] of silver I will weigh out on [the] hands of [the] doers of the work to bring [it] into [the] treasuries of the king.

١٠ 10 فَنَزَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ خَاتَمَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَأَعْطَاهُ لِهَامَانَ بْنِ هَمَدَاثَا ٱلْأَجَاجِيِّ عَدُوِّ ٱلْيَهُودِ.

And he removed the king signet-ring his from on hand his and he gave it to Haman [the] son of Hammedatha the Agagite [the] opposer of the Jews.

١١ 11 وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِهَامَانَ: «ٱلْفِضَّةُ قَدْ أُعْطِيَتْ لَكَ، وَٱلشَّعْبُ أَيْضًا، لِتَفْعَلَ بِهِ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ».

And he said the king to Haman the silver [is] given to you and the people to do with it according to the good in eyes your.

١٢ 12 فَدُعِيَ كُتَّابُ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثَ عَشَرَ مِنْهُ، وَكُتِبَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ هَامَانُ إِلَى مَرَازِبَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَإِلَى وُلَاةِ بِلَادٍ فَبِلَادٍ، وَإِلَى رُؤَسَاءِ شَعْبٍ فَشَعْبٍ، كُلِّ بِلَادٍ كَكِتَابَتِهَا، وَكُلِّ شَعْبٍ كَلِسَانِهِ، كُتِبَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ وَخُتِمَ بِخَاتَمِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

And they were summoned [the] scribes of the king in the month first on thir-teenth day in it and it was written according to all that he commanded Haman to [the] satraps of the king and to the governors who - [were] over province and province and to [the] officials of people and people province and province according to writing its and people and people according to language its in [the] name of the king Ahasuerus [it was] written and [it was] sealed with [the] signet-ring of the king.

And they were sent documents by [the] hand of the runners to all [the] provinces of the king to annihilate to kill and to destroy all the Jews from young man and unto old [man] little one[s] and women on a day one on [day] thir-teen of month two [plus] ten that [is] [the] month of Adar and spoil their to take as plunder.

١٤ 14 صُورَةُ ٱلْكِتَابَةِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ سُنَّةً فِي كُلِّ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ، أُشْهِرَتْ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ لِيَكُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لِهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

copy of The writing [was] to be given law in every province and province [was] disclosed to all the peoples to be ready for the day this.

١٥ 15 فَخَرَجَ ٱلسُّعَاةُ وَأَمْرُ ٱلْمَلِكِ يَحُثُّهُمْ، وَأُعْطِيَ ٱلْأَمْرُ فِي شُوشَنَ ٱلْقَصْرِ. وَجَلَسَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَهَامَانُ لِلشُّرْبِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَدِينَةُ شُوشَنُ فَٱرْتَبَكَتْ.
