Esther 9
1 The first law that the king had commanded was to be made effective on March 7th. On that day the enemies of the Jews hoped to get rid of them. But instead, on that same day the Jews defeated their enemies.
И тако дванаестог месеца, а то је месец Адар, тринаестог дана, кад дође да се изврши реч царева и заповест његова, истог дана кад се непријатељи јудејски надаху да ће овладати њима, преокрену се, те Јудејци овладаше својим ненавидницима.
2 Throughout the empire, the Jews gathered together in their cities to attack those who wanted to get rid of them. No one could fight against the Jews, because all the other people in the areas where the Jews lived were afraid of them, [so they did not want to help anyone who attacked the Jews].
Скупише се Јудејци у својим градовима по свим земљама цара Асвира да дигну руке на оне који им тражаху зло; и нико не могаше стајати пред њима; јер страх од њих попаде све народе.
3 All the governors and [other] officials and important people in all the provinces helped the Jews, because they were afraid of Mordecai.
И сви кнезови земаљски, намесници и управитељи и који оправљаху послове цареве, подупираху Јудејце, јер их попаде страх од Мардохеја.
4 They were afraid of him because in all the provinces [they knew that] Mordecai was now the king’s most important official, [with the authority that Haman previously had]. Mordecai was becoming more famous because [the king was giving him] more and more power.
Јер велик беше Мардохеј у дому царевом, и слава његова пролажаше све земље, јер тај човек, Мардохеј биваше све већи.
5 [On March 7th, ] the Jews attacked and killed with their swords all of their enemies. They did whatever they wanted to do, to the people who hated them.
И тако побише Јудејци све непријатеље своје мачем и потрше и истребише, и учинише шта хтеше од ненавидника својих.
6 [Just] in Susa alone, the capital city, they killed 500 people.
И у Сусану, царском граду, убише Јудејци и истребише пет стотина људи.
7 Among those whom they killed were the ten sons of Haman. [Their names were] Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
И Фарсандату и Далфона и Аспату,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
И Порату и Адалију и Аридату,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha.
И Фармасту и Арисаја и Арилаја и Вајезату,
10 Those were grandsons of Hammedatha and sons of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. The Jews killed them, but they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
Десет синова Амана, сина Амедатиног непријатеља јудејског побише, али на плен не дигоше руке своје,
11 [At the end of] that day someone reported to the king the number of people whom the Jews killed in Susa.
У онај дан, кад јавише цару број побијених у Сусану царском граду,
12 Then the king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed 500 people here in Susa, including the ten sons of Haman! [So I think that] they must have killed many more people in the rest of my empire [RHQ]! [But okay], now what else do you want me to do for you. You tell me, and I will do it.”
Рече цар Јестири царици: У Сусану царском граду побише и потрше Јудејци пет стотина људи и десет синова Аманових, а шта су учинили по осталим земљама царевим? Шта желиш? Даће ти се; и шта још молиш? Биће.
13 Esther replied, “If it pleases you, allow the Jews here in Susa to do again tomorrow what [you] commanded [them] to do today. And command that the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows/poles.”
А Јестира рече: Ако је угодно цару, да се допусти Јудејцима у Сусану и сутра да учине по данашњој наредби и десет синова Аманових да обесе на вешала.
14 So the king commanded that the Jews be permitted to kill more of their enemies the next day. After he issued [another] order in Susa, the bodies of Haman’s ten sons were hanged.
И заповеди цар да буде тако. И оглашена би заповест у Сусану, и обесише десет синова Аманових.
15 On the next day, the Jews in Susa gathered together and killed 300 more people. But [again, ] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
И Јудејци који беху у Сусану скупивши се и четрнаестог дана месеца Адара побише у Сусану три стотине људи, али на плен не дигоше руке своје.
16 That happened on March 8th. On the following day, the Jews [in Susa] rested and celebrated. In all the other provinces, the Jewish people gathered together to defend themselves, and they killed 75,000 people who hated them, but [again] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
А остали Јудејци који беху по земљама царевим скупише се да бране живот свој и да се смире од непријатеља својих; и побише седамдесет и пет хиљада ненавидника својих; али на плен не дигоше руке своје.
17 That occurred on March 7th, and on the following day they rested and celebrated.
То би тринаестог дана месеца Адара; а четрнаестог починуше, и празноваше тај дан гостећи се и веселећи се.
18 After the Jews in Susa gathered together [and killed their enemies] on March 7th and 8th, they rested and celebrated on March 9th.
А Јудејци који беху у Сусану скупише се тринаестог и четрнаестог дана истог месеца, а починуше петнаестог, и празноваше тај дан гостећи се и веселећи се.
19 That is why [every year], on March 8th, the Jews who live in villages now celebrate [defeating their enemies]. They have feasts and give gifts [of food] to each other.
Зато Јудејци сељани, који живе по местима неограђеним, празнују четрнаести дан месеца Адара веселећи се и гостећи се и благујући, и шаљући делове један другом.
20 Mordecai wrote down all the things that had happened. Then he sent letters to the Jews who lived throughout the empire of King Xerxes.
Јер Мардохеј написа ово, и разасла књиге свим Јудејцима који беху по свим земљама цара Асвира, близу и далеко,
21 He told them that every year they should celebrate on the 8th and 9th of March,
Наређујући им да празнују дан четрнаести месеца Адара и петнаести дан истог месеца сваке године;
22 because those were the days when the Jews got rid of their enemies. He also told them that they should celebrate on those days by feasting and giving gifts [of food] to each other and to poor people. They would remember it as the month in which they changed from being very sorrowful to being very joyful, from crying to celebrating.
Према данима у које се смирише Јудејци од непријатеља својих и према месецу кад им се претвори жалост у радост и туга у весеље, да те дане празнују гостећи се и веселећи се и шаљући делове један другом, и сиромасима дарове.
23 So the Jews agreed to do what Mordecai wrote. They agreed to celebrate on those days [every year].
И примише сви Јудејци да чине шта су почели и шта им писа Мардохеј.
24 They would remember how Haman, son of Hammedatha, a descendant of [King] Agag, became an enemy of all the Jews. [They would remember] how he had made an evil plan to kill the Jews, and that he had (cast lots/thrown small marked stones) to choose the day to kill [DOU] them.
Јер Аман, син Амедатин Агагеј непријатељ свих Јудејаца намисли за Јудејце да их истреби, и баци Фур, то јест жреб, да их потре и истреби.
25 [They would remember] that when Esther told the king about Haman’s plan, the king arranged that the evil plan that Haman had made to kill the Jews would fail, and that he [would be killed] instead of the Jews, and that Haman and that his sons were hanged.
Али кад Јестира изиђе пред цара, он заповеди књигом, те се зла мисао његова коју смисли на Јудејце обрати на његову главу, и обесише њега и синове његове на вешала.
26 [Because the (lot/small marked stone) that Haman threw was called] Pur, the Jews called these days Purim. And, because of everything that ([Mordecai] wrote/was written) in that letter, and because of all that happened to them,
Зато прозваше те дане Фурим од имена Фур; и ради својих речи те књиге и ради оног што видеше, тако и ради оног што им се догоди,
27 the Jews [throughout the empire] agreed to celebrate in that manner on those two days every year. They said that they would tell their descendants and those people who became Jews to be certain to celebrate this festival every year. They should celebrate just as [Mordecai] told them to do [in the letter] that he wrote.
Поставише Јудејци и примише на се и на семе своје и на све који се удруже с њима да је непроменљиво да славе та два дана као што је написано за њих и на време које је за њих одређено, сваке године,
28 They said that they would remember and celebrate on those two days every year, in each family, in every city, and in every province. They solemnly declared that they and their descendants would never stop remembering and celebrating those days called Purim.
И да се ти дани спомињу и славе у сваком нараштају, у свакој породици, у свакој земљи и у сваком граду; и ти дани Фурим да не престану међу Јудејцима и спомен њихов да не погине у семену њиховом.
29 Then Mordecai and Queen Esther, who was the daughter of Abihail, wrote a second letter about the Purim feast. Esther used the authority that she had because of being the queen to confirm that what Mordecai had written in the first letter was true.
И писа царица Јестира, кћи Авихаилова и Мардохеј Јудејац сваком тврђом потврђујући књигу за Фурим други пут.
30 What they wrote [in the second letter] was, “We wish that all of you will be living peacefully and safely/righteously. We want you and your descendants to celebrate Purim each year on the days that we two established, and to do the things that we two told you to do.” In that letter, Queen Esther and Mordecai also gave them instructions about (fasting/abstaining from eating food) and being sorrowful. Then copies of that letter were sent to all the Jews who were living in the 127 provinces of the empire.
И разасла књигу свим Јудејцима у сто и двадесет и седам земаља цара Асвира и речима љубазним и истинитим,
Да тврдо држе дане Фурим на време као што им је поставио Мардохеј Јудејац и царица Јестира и као што сами поставише себи и семену свом за спомен посту њиховом и викању њиховом.
32 The letter that Esther wrote about the manner in which they should celebrate the Purim feast was also written in an official record.
Тако заповест Јестирина потврди уредбу за Фурим, и би записано у књигу.
