Esther 3
1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
Poslije toga podiže car Asvir Amana sina Amedatina, Agageja, i uzvisi ga, i namjesti mu prijesto više svijeh knezova što bijahu kod njega.
2 And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
I sve sluge careve što bijahu na vratima carevijem klanjahu se i padahu pred Amanom, jer tako bješe car zapovjedio za nj. Ali Mardohej ne klanjaše se niti padaše.
3 Then the king’s servants, which were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?
I sluge careve što bijahu na vratima carevijem govorahu Mardoheju: zašto prestupaš zapovijest carevu?
4 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
I pošto mu od dana na dan govoriše a on ne posluša, javiše Amanu da vide hoæe li ostati rijeèi Mardohejeve, jer im bješe kazao da je Judejac.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
A kad vidje Aman da se Mardohej ne klanja niti pada pred njim, napuni se gnjeva Aman.
6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Ali mišljaše da nije vrijedno da digne ruku na Mardoheja samoga, jer mu kazaše kojega naroda bješe Mardohej, nego gledaše da istrijebi sve Judejce što bijahu po svemu carstvu Asvirovu, narod Mardohejev.
7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
Prvoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Nisan, godine dvanaeste carovanja Asvirova, bacaše Fur, to jest ždrijeb, pred Amanom, od dana do dana i od mjeseca do mjeseca, do dvanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Adar.
8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
I Aman reèe caru Asviru: ima narod rasijan i rasut po narodima po svijem zemljama carstva tvojega, kojega su zakoni drukèiji od zakona svijeh naroda, i ne izvršuje zakona carevijeh, pa nije probitaèno caru da ih ostavi.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.
Ako je caru ugodno, da se piše da se istrijebe; i ja æu izmjeriti deset tisuæa talanata srebra u ruke pristavima da donesu u carevu riznicu.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
Tada car snimi prsten s ruke svoje i dade ga Amanu sinu Amedatinu Agageju neprijatelju Judejskom.
11 And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
I reèe Amanu: to srebro neka tebi, a od naroda èini što ti je drago.
12 Then were the king’s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king’s ring.
Zato dozvaše pisare careve prvoga mjeseca trinaestoga dana, i napisa se sve kako zapovjedi Aman, namjesnicima carevijem i vojvodama u svakoj zemlji i knezovima svakoga naroda, svakoj zemlji pismom njezinijem i svakomu narodu jezikom njegovijem, u ime cara Asvira napisa se i prstenom carevijem zapeèati se.
13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
I razaslaše se knjige po glasnicima u sve zemlje careve da potru, pobiju i istrijebe sve Judejce, staro i mlado, djecu i žene u jedan dan, trinaestoga dana dvanaestoga mjeseca, koje je mjesec Adar, i da razgrabe imanje njihovo.
14 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
U knjigama se govoraše da se oglasi zapovijest po svijem zemljama i da se objavi svijem narodima da budu gotovi za onaj dan.
15 The posts went out, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
Glasnici otidoše brzo po zapovijesti carevoj, i zapovijest bi oglašena u Susanu carskom gradu. A car i Aman sjeðahu i pijahu, a grad se Susan smete.
