Esther 9
1 For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.
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),
2 In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.
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.
3 For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of Mardochaeus lay upon them.
Vsi vladarji provinc, poročniki, namestniki in kraljevi častniki, so pomagali Judom, ker je nanje padel strah pred Mordohajem.
4 For the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.
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.
Tako so Judje vse svoje sovražnike udarili z udarcem meča, pokolom in uničenjem. Tistim pa, ki so jih sovražili, so storili, kar so hoteli.
6 And in the city Susa the Jews killed five hundred men:
V palači Suze so Judje usmrtili in uničili petsto mož.
7 both Pharsannes, and Delphon and Phasga,
Paršandáta, Dalfóna, Aspáta,
8 and Pharadatha, and Barea, and Sarbaca,
Poráta, Adaljája, Aridáta,
9 and Marmasima, and Ruphaeus, and Arsaeus, and Zabuthaeus,
Parmášta, Arisája, Aridája, Jezáta,
10 the ten sons of Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugaean, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered [their property] on the same day:
deset sinov Hamedátovega sina Hamána, sovražnika Judov, so usmrtili, toda na plen niso položili svojih rok.
11 and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered to the king.
Na ta dan je bilo število tistih, ki so bili umorjeni v palači Suze, privedeno pred kralja.
12 And the king said to Esther, The Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, think you, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then do you yet ask, that it may be [done] for you?
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.«
13 And Esther said to the king, let it be granted to the Jews so to treat them tomorrow as to hand the ten sons of Aman.
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.«
14 And he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.
Kralj je zapovedal, da naj bo tako storjeno. Odlok je bil izdan v [mestu] Suze in obesili so Hamánovih deset sinov.
15 And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth [day] of Adar, and killed three hundred men, but plundered no property.
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.
16 And the rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth [day] of Adar, but took no spoil.
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.
17 And they rested on the fourteenth of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.
Na trinajsti dan meseca adárja in na štirinajsti dan istega so počivali in to naredili za dan praznovanja in veselja.
18 And the Jews in the city Susa assembled also on the fourteenth [day] and rested; and they kept also the fifteenth with joy and gladness.
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.
19 On this account then [it is that] the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar [as] a holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbour.
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.
20 And Mardochaeus wrote these things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar off,
Mordohaj je napisal te stvari in poslal pisma vsem Judom, ki so bili po vseh provincah Kralja Ahasvérja, tako bližnjim kakor daljnim,
21 to establish these [as] joyful days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;
da to utrdi med njimi, da naj letno ohranjajo štirinajsti dan meseca adárja in petnajsti dan istega,
22 for on these days the Jews obtained rest from their enemies; and [as to] the month, which was Adar, in which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow to a good day, to spend the whole of it [in] good days of feasting and gladness, sending portions to their friends, and to the poor.
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.
23 And the Jews consented [to this] accordingly as Mardochaeus wrote to them,
Judje so se lotili, da storijo, kakor so začeli in kakor jim je Mordohaj zapisal,
24 [showing] how Aman the son of Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and cast lots to destroy them utterly;
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,
25 also how he went in to the king, telling [him] to hang Mardochaeus: but all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.
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.
26 Therefore these days were called Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phrurae; ) because of the words of this letter, and [because of] all they suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.
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 –
27 And [Mardochaeus] established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them [to observe it], neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days [were to be] a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.
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.
28 And these days of the Phrurae, [said they, ]shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.
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.
29 And queen Esther, the daughter of Aminadab, and Mardochaeus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the confirmation of the letter of Phrurae.
Potem je kraljica Estera, hči Abihájila in Juda Mordohaja, z vso oblastjo napisala, da potrjuje to drugo pismo o purimu.
In poslal je pisma vsem Judom, v sto sedemindvajset provinc Ahasvérjevega kraljestva, z besedami miru in resnice,
31 And Mardochaeus and Esther the queen appointed [a fast] for themselves privately, even at that time also having formed their plan against their own health.
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.
32 And Esther established it by a command for ever, and it was written for a memorial.
Esterin odlok je potrdil te stvari o purimu in to je bilo zapisano v knjigo.
