Estera 9
1 Trinaestoga dana dvanaestog mjeseca, mjeseca Adara, kad je morala biti izvršena odredba kraljevog ukaza, istoga dana u koji su se neprijatelji Židova nadali zavladati nad njima dogodi se obrnuto: Židovi zavladaše nad neprijateljima svojim.
And in the twelfth month—it [is] the month of Adar—on the thirteenth day of it, in which the word of the king, even his law, has come to be done, in the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to rule over them, and it is turned that the Jews rule over those hating them—
2 Židovi se sakupiše po svojim gradovima u svim pokrajinama kralja Ahasvera da udare na one koji su tražili njihovu propast. I nitko se nije usuđivao da im pruži otpor, jer je sve narode spopao strah od Židova.
the Jews have been assembled in their cities, in all provinces of King Ahasuerus, to put forth a hand on those seeking their evil, and no man has stood in their presence, for their fear has fallen on all the peoples.
3 Svi su knezovi pokrajina i namjesnici, upravljači i činovnici kraljevi štitili Židove jer ih je obuzeo strah od Mordokaja.
And all heads of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the governors, and those doing the work that the king has, are lifting up the Jews, for a fear of Mordecai has fallen on them;
4 Jer je Mordokaj postao velik na kraljevskom dvoru, i po svim pokrajinama širio se glas da Mordokaj postaje sve moćniji.
for great [is] Mordecai in the house of the king, and his fame is going into all the provinces, for the man Mordecai is going on and becoming great.
5 Židovi, dakle, udariše mačem po svim svojim neprijateljima, sasjekoše ih i zatrše; sa svojim mrziteljima postupiše kako im se htjelo.
And the Jews strike among all their enemies—a striking of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction—and do with those hating them according to their pleasure,
6 Samo u tvrđavi Suzi smakoše i zatrše Židovi pet stotina ljudi;
and in Shushan the palace the Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men;
7 pogubiše Paršandatu, Dalfona, Aspatu,
and Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Poratu, Adaliju, Aridatu,
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parmaštu, Arisaja, Aridaja, Jezatu
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
10 i deset sinova Hamana, sina Hamdatina, progonitelja Židova. Ali se ne pojagmiše za plijenom.
ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, adversary of the Jews, they have slain, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.
11 Toga istog dana, doznavši za broj ubijenih u tvrđavi Suzi,
On that day has come the number of the slain in Shushan the palace before the king,
12 kralj reče kraljici Esteri: "U tvrđavi Suzi Židovi su smaknuli i uništili pet stotina ljudi i deset Hamanovih sinova. Što su tek onda izveli u ostalim pokrajinama kraljevim? Koja je sada molba tvoja? Bit će uslišana! Koja je tvoja želja? Bit će ispunjena!"
and the king says to Esther the queen, “In Shushan the palace the Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman; in the rest of the provinces of the king what have they done? And what [is] your petition? And it is given to you; and what your request again? And it is done.”
13 "Ako je kralju po volji," reče Estera, "neka se Židovima koji žive u Suzi dopusti još sutra primijeniti isti zakon kao i danas i neka se objesi deset Hamanovih sinova."
And Esther says, “If [it is] good to the king, let it also be given tomorrow, to the Jews who [are] in Shushan, to do according to the law of today; and the ten sons of Haman they hang on the tree.”
14 Kralj naredi da se tako učini: zakon bi u Suzi proglašen i deset Hamanovih sinova obješeno.
And the king commands [for it] to be done so; and a law is given in Shushan, and they have hanged the ten sons of Haman.
15 Tako se Židovi Suze sakupiše i četrnaestoga dana mjeseca Adara pa pobiše u Suzi još tri stotine ljudi. Ali se ni tada ne pojagmiše za plijenom.
And the Jews who [are] in Shushan are also assembled on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they slay three hundred men in Shushan, and they have not put forth their hand on the prey.
16 Ostali Židovi, oni koji su živjeli u kraljevskim pokrajinama, sakupiše se da brane svoje živote i mir od neprijatelja: pobiše sedamdeset i pet tisuća dušmana. Ali se ni tada ne pojagmiše za plijenom. Bio je trinaesti dan mjeseca Adara.
And the rest of the Jews, who [are] in the provinces of the king, have been assembled, even to stand for their life, and to rest from their enemies, and to slay seventy-five thousand among those hating them, and they have not put forth their hand on the prey;
17 Četrnaestoga dana Židovi su mirovali: to bijaše dan gozbe i veselja.
on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, even to rest on the fourteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
18 Židovi u Suzi koji su se sakupili trinaestoga i četrnaestoga dana mirovahu petnaestoga dana; to je bio dan njihova veselja i gozbi.
And the Jews who [are] in Shushan have been assembled, on the thirteenth day of it, and on the fourteenth of it, even to rest on the fifteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
19 Zbog toga Židovi pripoljci, oni koji žive po neutvrđenim selima, blagdanski svetkuju četrnaesti dan mjeseca Adara veseleći se i gozbujući i među sobom izmjenjujući darove. a A koji žive u gradovima slave i petnaesti dan Adara u razdraganosti i u veselju, izmjenjujući među sobom darove.
Therefore the Jews of the open places, who are dwelling in cities of the open places, are making the fourteenth day of the month of Adar—joy and banquet, and a good day, and of sending portions to one another.
20 Mordokaj opisa te događaje i upravi pisma Židovima svih blizih i dalekih pokrajina kralja Ahasvera.
And Mordecai writes these things, and sends letters to all the Jews who [are] in all provinces of King Ahasuerus, who are near and who are far off,
21 Naložio im je da četrnaesti i petnaesti dan mjeseca Adara svake godine slave
to establish on them, to be keeping the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day of it, in every year and year,
22 kao dane u kojima su Židovi postigli spokoj od svojih neprijatelja i kao mjesec koji je bio pretvorio u radost njihovu tugu a u blagdan njihovo žalovanje. Neka ih slave gozbom i veseljem, izmjenjujući među sobom darove i dijeleći poklone ubogima.
as days on which the Jews have rested from their enemies, and the month that has been turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of banquet and of joy, and of sending portions to one another, and gifts to the needy.
23 Židovi prihvatiše da drže ono što su već sami od sebe počeli slaviti i o čemu im je pisao Mordokaj:
And the Jews have received that which they had begun to do, and that which Mordecai has written to them,
24 "Haman, sin Hamdatin, Agađanin, progonitelj svih Židova, kako je bio naumio sve ih uništiti, baci 'Pur', to jest ždrijeb, za njihovo smaknuće i zator;
because Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of all the Jews, had devised concerning the Jews to destroy them, and had caused to fall Pur—that [is] the lot—to crush them and to destroy them;
25 ali kad je za njegovu zamisao doznao kralj, on pismeno naredi: 'Neka se na njegovu glavu obori opaki naum što ga bijaše zasnovao protiv Židova i neka bude obješen, on i sinovi njegovi.'"
and in her coming in before the king, he commanded with the letter, “Let his evil scheme that he devised against the Jews return on his own head,” and they have hanged him and his sons on the tree,
26 Zbog toga su ti dani nazvani Purim, prema riječi Pur. Zato prema svem sadržaju toga pisma i prema onome što su vidjeli i što im bijaše preneseno
therefore they have called these days Purim—by the name of the lot—therefore, because of all the words of this letter, and what they have seen concerning this, and what has come to them,
27 Židovi se neopozivo obvezaše i prihvatiše za se, za svoje potomke i za sve one koji se s njima budu udružili da će svake godine slaviti ta dva dana prema tom propisu i u to vrijeme.
the Jews have established and received on them, and on their seed, and on all those joined to them, and it does not pass away, to be keeping these two days according to their writing, and according to their season, in every year and year;
28 Te dane valja slaviti i njih se sjećati od pokoljenja do pokoljenja u svakoj obitelji, pokrajini i gradu; ti dani Purima ne smiju iščeznuti ispred Židova, ni spomen na njih biti izbrisan iz njihova roda.
and these days are remembered and kept in every generation and generation, family and family, province and province, and city and city, and these days of Purim do not pass away from the midst of the Jews, and their memorial is not ended from their seed.
29 Kraljica Estera, kći Abihailova, i Židov Mordokaj pisali su to što snažnije da tako još jednom potkrijepe pismo o Purimu.
And Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, writes, and Mordecai the Jew, with all might, to establish this second letter of Purim,
30 Pisma su poslali svim Židovima u sto dvadeset i sedam pokrajina Ahasverova kraljevstva s porukom mira i vjernosti;
and he sends letters to all the Jews, to the one hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus—words of peace and truth—
31 da obdržavaju te dane Purima u njihovo određeno vrijeme, kako su to odredili Židov Mordokaj i kraljica Estera, i da drže post i molitve, onako kako su to oni obvezali sebe i svoje potomke.
to establish these days of Purim, in their seasons, as Mordecai the Jew has established on them, and Esther the queen, and as they had established on themselves, and on their seed—matters of the fastings, and of their cry.
32 Tako Esterina naredba ozakoni ove propise Purima i to bi zapisano u knjigu.
And a saying of Esther has established these matters of Purim, and it is written in the Scroll.
