Esteres 9
1 Tad nu divpadsmitā mēnesī, tas ir Adara mēnesis, trīspadsmitā dienā, kad pēc ķēniņa vārda un pavēles notikās, tai dienā, kad Jūdu ienaidnieki cerēja tos pārvarēt, bet tas otrādi pārgriezās, ka Jūdi pārvarēja savus nīdētājus, -
So on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said above is called Adar, when all the Jews were designed to be massacred, and their enemies were greedy after their blood, the case being altered, the Jews began to have the upper hand, and to revenge themselves of their adversaries.
2 Tad Jūdi sapulcējās savās pilsētās pa visām ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīm, ka tie rokas pieliktu pie tiem, kas viņu nelaimi meklēja, un neviens nepastāvēja viņu priekšā, jo bailes no viņiem bija nākušas pār visiem ļaudīm.
And they gathered themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people.
3 Un visi lielkungi pa tām valstīm un valdnieki un zemes valdītāji un ķēniņa mantas uzraugi godāja Jūdus, jo bailes no Mardakaja pār tiem bija nākušas.
And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai:
4 Jo Mardakajs bija liels ķēniņa namā, un viņa slava izgāja pa visām valstīm, jo tas vīrs Mardakajs tapa jo dienas jo augstāks.
For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men’s mouths.
5 Bet Jūdi kāvās pret visiem saviem ienaidniekiem, ar zobenu kaudami un nokaudami un nomaitādami, un darīja ar saviem nīdētājiem pēc sava prāta.
So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them:
6 Un Sūsanas pilī Jūdi ir nokāvuši un nomaitājuši piecsimt vīrus
Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these:
7 Un Parzandatu un Dalvonu un Azvatu
Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha,
8 Un Poratu un Adaliju un Aridatu
And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Un Parmastu un Arisaju un Aridaju un Vajezatu.
And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha.
10 Amana, Medatus dēla, Jūdu ienaidnieka, desmit dēlus tie nokāva, bet tie savas rokas nepielika pie laupījuma.
And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods.
11 Tai dienā nokauto skaits tapa zināms ķēniņam Sūsanas pilī.
And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king.
12 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz ķēniņieni Esteri: Sūsanas pilī Jūdi ir nokāvuši un nomaitājuši piecsimt vīrus, un arī Amana desmit dēlus, ko tad tie nebūs darījuši citās ķēniņa valstīs? Un nu, kas ir tava lūgšana, tas tev taps dots; un kas vēl tava prasīšana, tai būs notikt.
And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to be done?
13 Tad Estere sacīja: ja ķēniņam patīk, tad lai tie Jūdi, kas ir Sūsanā, arī rītu dara pēc šīs dienas atvēlēšanas, un lai Amana desmit dēli pie koka top pakārti.
And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do tomorrow in Susan as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets.
14 Tad ķēniņš pavēlēja, lai to dara, un tā pavēle tapa dota Sūsanā, un tie pakāra Amana desmit dēlus.
And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged.
15 Un tie Jūdi, kas bija Sūsanā, sapulcējās četrpadsmitā dienā, Adara mēnesī, un nokāva Sūsanā trīssimt vīrus, bet tie savu roku nepielika pie laupījuma.
And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance.
16 Un tie citi Jūdi, kas bija ķēniņa valstīs, sapulcējās, ka tie savas dzīvības labad kautos un ka tiem miers būtu no saviem ienaidniekiem, un tie nokāva no saviem nīdētājiem septiņdesmit piecus tūkstošus, bet tie savas rokas nepielika pie laupījuma.
Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were Billed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods.
17 Tas notikās trīspadsmitā dienā, Adara mēnesī, un viņa četrpadsmitā dienā tie dusēja, un šo dienu iecēla par dzīru un līksmības dienu.
Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets.
18 Bet tie Jūdi, kas Sūsanā bija sapulcējušies trīspadsmitā un četrpadsmitā dienā, tie dusēja piecpadsmitā dienā un to iecēla par dzīru un līksmības dienu.
But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness.
19 Tāpēc tie Jūdi, kas ciemos un miestos dzīvoja, to četrpadsmito Adara mēneša dienu cēla par prieku un dzīru un svētku dienu, un kur cits citam sūtīja dāvanas.
But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats.
20 Un Mardakajs uzrakstīja šās lietas un sūtīja grāmatas pie visiem Jūdiem, kas bija visās ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīs tuvu un tālu,
And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king’s provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off,
21 Tiem par stipru likumu iestādīdams, lai četrpadsmito un piecpadsmito Adara mēneša dienu ik gadus svētī,
That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour:
22 Tādēļ ka pa tām dienām Jūdi bija mieru dabūjuši no saviem ienaidniekiem, un tādēļ ka tai mēnesī viņu noskumšana bija pārvērtusies par prieku un viņu bēdas par labām dienām, lai tie tās dara par dzīru un līksmības dienām un sūta cits citam dāvinājumus un nabagiem dāvanas.
Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats; and should give gifts to the poor.
23 Un Jūdi pieņēma, kā tie bija sākuši darīt, un ko Mardakajs tiem bija rakstījis.
And the Jews undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done.
24 Proti ka Amans, Medatus dēls, tas Agaģietis, visu Jūdu ienaidnieks, pret Jūdiem bija nodomājis, tos izdeldēt, un ka viņš metis meslus, tas ir pur, tos biedināt un nomaitāt.
For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them: and had cast Phur, that is, the lot.
25 Bet kad (Estere) ķēniņa priekšā nākusi, tad šis caur grāmatām pavēlējis, ka viņa niknās domas, ko viņš par Jūdiem bija nodomājis, atgrieztos uz viņa galvu, un tie viņu ar viņa dēliem pakāruši pie koka.
And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king’s letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets.
26 Tādēļ tie šās dienas sauca purim, no tā meslu vārda „pur“. Tādēļ pēc visiem tiem vārdiem tai grāmatā, un ko tie paši bija redzējuši un kas tiem bija noticis,
And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book:
27 Jūdi to iecēla un nolika priekš sevis un saviem bērniem un visiem, kas viņiem pieķērās, ka to nepārkāptu, bet ka svētītu šās divas dienas pēc viņu rakstiem un pēc viņu nospriestā laika ikgadus;
And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.
28 Ka šīs dienas taptu pieminētas un turētas pie visiem pēcnākamiem, ikvienā augumā, ikvienā radā, ikvienā valstī un ikvienā pilsētā, un ka tās purim dienas nepārkāptu Jūdu starpā un ka viņu piemiņa netaptu aizmirsta pie viņu bērnu bērniem.
These are the days which shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound to these ceremonies.
29 Un ķēniņiene Estere, Abikaīla meita, un Mardakajs, tas Jūds, rakstīja it tikuši(ar visu savu spēku un ietekmi) apstiprināt šo otru grāmatu par tiem purim.
And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come.
30 Un viņš sūtīja grāmatas visiem Jūdiem uz visām simts divdesmit septiņām ķēniņa Ahasverus valstīm ar miera un uzticības vārdiem,
And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive truth,
31 Lai tie šīs purim dienas pastāvīgi svētī savā nospriestā laikā, tā kā Mardakajs, tas Jūds, un ķēniņiene Estere to bija iecēluši, un tā kā tie paši sev un savam dzimumam bija apstiprinājuši, līdz ar to gavēņu un gaudu iestādījumu.
And observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy in their proper time: as Mardochai and Esther had appointed, and they undertook them to be observed by themselves and by their seed, fasts, and cries, and the days of lots,
32 Un Estere apstiprināja ar savu pavēli šos purim likumus, un tie tapa ierakstīti grāmatā.
And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
