1And king Assuerus made all the land, and all the islands of the sea tributary.
1Rex vero Assuerus omnem terram et cunctas maris insulas fecit tributarias:
2And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians:
2cujus fortitudo et imperium, et dignitas atque sublimitas, qua exaltavit Mardochæum, scripta sunt in libris Medorum, atque Persarum:
3And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed.
3et quomodo Mardochæus judaici generis secundus a rege Assuero fuerit, et magnus apud Judæos, et acceptabilis plebi fratrum suorum, quærens bona populo suo, et loquens ea quæ ad pacem seminis sui pertinerent.
4Then Mardochai said: God hath done these things.
4Dixitque Mardochæus: A Deo facta sunt ista.
5I remember a dream that I saw, which signified these same things: and nothing thereof hath failed.
5Recordatus sum somnii quod videram, hæc eadem significantis: nec eorum quidquam irritum fuit.
6The little fountain which grew into a river, and was turned into a light, and into the sun, and abounded into many waters, is Esther, whom the king married, and made queen.
6Parvus fons, qui crevit in fluvium, et in lucem solemque conversus est, et in aquas plurimas redundavit: Esther est quam rex accepit uxorem, et voluit esse reginam.
7But the two dragons are I and Aman.
7Duo autem dracones: ego sum, et Aman.
8The nations that were assembled are they that endeavoured to destroy the name of the Jews.
8Gentes, quæ convenerant: hi sunt, qui conati sunt delere nomen Judæorum.
9And my nation is Israel, who cried to the Lord, and the Lord saved his people: and he delivered us from all evils, and hath wrought great signs and wonders among the nations:
9Gens autem mea Israël est, quæ clamavit ad Dominum, et salvum fecit Dominus populum suum: liberavitque nos ab omnibus malis, et fecit signa magna atque portenta inter gentes:
10And he commanded that there should be two lots, one of the people of God, and the other of all the nations.
10et duas sortes esse præcepit, unam populi Dei, et alteram cunctarum gentium.
11And both lots came to the day appointed already from that time before God to all nations:
11Venitque utraque sors in statutum ex illo jam tempore diem coram Deo universis gentibus:
12And the Lord remembered his people, and had mercy on his inheritance.
12et recordatus est Dominus populi sui, ac misertus est hæreditatis suæ.
13And these days shall be observed in the month of Adar on the fourteenth, and fifteenth day of the same month. with all diligence, and joy of the people gathered into one assembly, throughout all the generations hereafter of the people of Israel.
13Et observabuntur dies isti in mense Adar quartadecima et quintadecima die ejusdem mensis, cum omni studio et gaudio, in unum cœtum populi congregati, in cunctas deinceps generationes populi Israël.
