以斯帖记 9
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1十二月，乃亚达月十三日，王的谕旨将要举行，就是 犹大 人的仇敌盼望辖制他们的日子， 犹大 人反倒辖制恨他们的人。
1Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them; whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;
2犹大 人在 亚哈随鲁 王各省的城里聚集，下手击杀那要害他们的人。无人能敌挡他们，因为各族都惧怕他们。
2the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt; and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples.
3各省的首领、总督、省长，和办理王事的人，因惧怕 末底改 ，就都帮助 犹大 人。
3And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king's business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them.
4末底改 在朝中为大，名声传遍各省，日渐昌盛。
4For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5犹大 人用刀击杀一切仇敌，任意杀灭恨他们的人。
5And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would unto them that hated them.
6在 书珊 城， 犹大 人杀灭了五百人；
6And in Shushan the castle the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7又杀 巴珊大他 、 达分 、 亚斯帕他 、
7And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8破拉他 、 亚大利雅 、 亚利大他 、
8and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9帕玛斯他 、 亚利赛 、 亚利代 、 瓦耶撒他 ；
9and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha,
10这十人都是 哈米大他 的孙子、 犹大 人仇敌 哈曼 的儿子。 犹大 人却没有下手夺取财物。
10the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews' enemy, slew they; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
11当日，将 书珊 城被杀的人数呈在王前。
11On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the castle was brought before the king.
12王对王后 以斯帖 说：「 犹大 人在 书珊 城杀灭了五百人，又杀了 哈曼 的十个儿子，在王的各省不知如何呢？现在你要什么，我必赐给你；你还求什么，也必 为你 成就。」
12And the king said unto Esther the queen: 'The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the castle, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now whatever thy petition, it shall be granted thee; and whatever thy request further, it shall be done.'
13以斯帖 说：「王若以为美，求你准 书珊 的 犹大 人，明日也照今日的旨意行，并将 哈曼 十个儿子的尸首挂在木架上。」
13Then said Esther: 'If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.'
14王便允准如此行。旨意传在 书珊 ，人就把 哈曼 十个儿子的尸首挂起来了。
14And the king commanded it so to be done; and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
15亚达月十四日， 书珊 的 犹大 人又聚集在 书珊 ，杀了三百人，却没有下手夺取财物。
15And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
16在王各省其余的 犹大 人也都聚集保护性命，杀了恨他们的人七万五千，却没有下手夺取财物。这样，就脱离仇敌，得享平安。
16And the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand — but on the spoil they laid not their hand —
17亚达月十三日， 行了这事 ；十四日安息，以这日为设筵欢乐的日子。
17on the thirteenth day of the month Adar, and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18但 书珊 的 犹大 人，这十三日、十四日聚集 杀戮仇敌 ；十五日安息，以这日为设筵欢乐的日子。
18But the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19所以住无城墙乡村的 犹大 人，如今都以亚达月十四日为设筵欢乐的吉日，彼此馈送礼物。
19Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
20末底改 记录这事，写信与 亚哈随鲁 王各省远近所有的 犹大 人，
20And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
21嘱咐他们每年守亚达月十四、十五两日，
21to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
22以这月的两日为 犹大 人脱离仇敌得平安、转忧为喜、转悲为乐的吉日。在这两日设筵欢乐，彼此馈送礼物，周济穷人。
22the days wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
23于是， 犹大 人按着 末底改 所写与他们的信，应承照初次所守的守为永例；
23And the Jews took upon them to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
24是因 犹大 人的仇敌 亚甲 族 哈米大他 的儿子 哈曼 设谋杀害 犹大 人，掣普珥，就是掣签，为要杀尽灭绝他们；
24because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast pur, that is, the lot, to discomfit them, and to destroy them;
25这事报告于王，王便降旨使 哈曼 谋害 犹大 人的恶事归到他自己的头上，并吩咐把他和他的众子都挂在木架上。
25but when she came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26照着普珥的名字， 犹大 人就称这两日为「普珥日」。他们因这信上的话，又因所看见所遇见的事，
26Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come unto them,
27就应承自己与后裔，并归附他们的人，每年按时必守这两日，永远不废。
27the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing thereof, and according to the appointed time thereof, every year;
28各省各城、家家户户、世世代代纪念遵守这两日，使这「普珥日」在 犹大 人中不可废掉，在他们后裔中也不可忘记。
28and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
29亚比孩 的女儿—王后 以斯帖 和 犹大 人 末底改 以全权写第二封信，坚嘱 犹大 人守这「普珥日」，
29Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote down all the acts of power, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30用和平诚实话写信给 亚哈随鲁 王 国中一百二十七省所有的 犹大 人，
30And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
31劝他们按时守这「普珥日」，禁食呼求，是照 犹大 人 末底改 和王后 以斯帖 所嘱咐的，也照 犹大 人为自己与后裔所应承的。
31to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
32以斯帖 命定守「普珥日」，这事也记录在书上。
32And the commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
