1On that day king Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews’ enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her uncle.
1Истог дана даде цар Асвир царици Јестири кућу Амана непријатеља јудејског. А Мардохеј изиђе пред цара, јер Јестира каза шта јој је он;
2And the king took the ring which he had commanded to be taken again from Aman, and gave it to Mardochai. And Esther set Mardochai over her house.
2и цар снимивши прстен свој, који беше узео од Амана, даде га Мардохеју; а Јестира постави Мардохеја над кућом Амановом.
3And not content with these things, she fell down at the king’s feet and wept, and speaking to him besought him, that he would give orders that the malice of Aman the Agagite, and his most wicked devices which he had invented against the Jews, should be of no effect.
3Потом Јестира опет говори цару и паднувши пред ноге његове и плачући мољаше га да уклони злоћу Амана Агагеја и мисао његову коју беше смислио на Јудејце.
4But he, as the manner was, held out the golden sceptre with his hand, which was the sign of clemency: and she arose up and stood before him,
4Тада цар пружи златну палицу према Јестири, и Јестира уста и стаде пред царем.
5And said: If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and my request be not disagreeable to him, I beseech thee, that the former letters of Aman the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he commanded that they should be destroyed in all the king’s provinces, may be reversed by new letters.
5И рече: Ако је угодно цару и ако сам нашла милост пред њим, и ако је право пред царем и ако саму му мила, нека се пише да се порекну књиге у којима је мисао Амана сина Амедатиног, Агагеја, које је расписао да се истребе Јудејци што су по свим земљама царевим.
6For how call I endure the murdering and slaughter of my people?
6Јер како бих могла гледати зло које би задесило мој народ? И како бих могла гледати да се потре род мој?
7And king Assuerus answered Esther the queen, and Mardochai the Jew: I have given Aman’s house to Esther, and I have commanded him to be hanged on a gibbet, because he durst lay hands on the Jews.
7А цар Асвир рече царици Јестири и Мардохеју Јудејцу: Ето, дао сам кућу Аманову Јестири, а њега су обесили на вешала зато што хтеде дигнути руку своју на Јудејце.
8Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king’s name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king’s name, and were sealed with his ring.
8Ви дакле пишите за Јудејце како вам је драго у име царево и запечатите прстеном царевим; јер шта се пише у име царево и запечати прстеном царевим не може се порећи.
9Then the king’s scribes and secretaries were called for (now it was the time of the third month which is called Siban) the three and twentieth day of the month, and letters were written, as Mardochai had a mind, to the Jews, and to the governors, and to the deputies, and to the judges, who were rulers over the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia: to province and province, to people and people, according to their languages and characters, and to the Jews, according as they could read and hear.
9И дозваше писаре цареве у исто време, трећег месеца, који је месец Сиван, двадесет трећег дана, и писа се све, како заповеди Мардохеј, Јудејцима и намесницима и кнезовима и управитељима по земљама, од Индије до Етиопије, сто и двадесет и седам земаља, у сваку земљу њеним писмом и сваком народу његовим језиком, и Јудејцима њиховим писмом и њиховим језиком.
10And these letters which were sent in the king’s name, were sealed with his ring, and sent by posts: who were to run through all the provinces, to prevent the former letters with new messages.
10А написа у име цара Асвира и запечати прстеном царевим, и разасла књиге по гласницима који јахаху на брзим коњима и на младим мазгама:
11And the king gave orders to them, to speak to the Jews in every city, and to command them to gather themselves together, and to stand for their lives, and to kill and destroy all their enemies with their wives and children and all their houses, and to take their spoil.
11Да је цар допустио Јудејцима што су у коме год граду да се скупе и бране живот свој, да потру и побију и истребе сваку војску ког му драго народа и земље, који би ударили на њих, и децу њихову и жене њихове, а имање њихово да разграбе.
12And one day of revenge was appointed through all the provinces, to wit, the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar.
12У исти дан по свим земљама цара Асвира, тринаестог дана месеца дванаестог, које је месец Адар.
13And this was the content of the letter, that it should be notified in all lands and peoples that were subject to the empire of king Assuerus, that the Jews were ready to be revenged of their enemies.
13У књигама се говораше да се огласи заповест по свим земљама и да се објави свим народима да Јудејци буду готови за онај дан да се освете својим непријатељима.
14So the swift posts went out carrying the messages, and the king’s edict was hung up in Susan.
14Гласници који јахаху на брзим коњима и мазгама отидоше брзо и хитно по заповести царевој; и заповест би оглашена у Сусану, царском граду.
15And Mardochai going forth out of the palace, and from the king’s presence, shone in royal apparel, to wit, of violet and sky colour, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced and was glad.
15А Мардохеј отиде од цара у царском оделу љубичастом и белом и под златним венцем великим и у плашту од танког платна и скерлета, и град Сусан радоваше се и весељаше се.
16But to the Jews a new light seemed to rise, joy, honour, and dancing.
16Јудејцима дође светлост и весеље и радост и слава.
17And in all peoples, cities, and provinces, whithersoever the king’s commandments came, there was wonderful rejoicing, feasts and banquets, and keeping holy day: insomuch that many of other nations and religion, joined themselves to their worship and ceremonies. For a great dread of the name of the Jews had fallen upon all.
17И у свакој земљи и у сваком граду, где год дође заповест царева и наредба његова, беше радост и весеље међу Јудејцима, гозба и благи дани, и многи из народа земаљских постајаху Јудејци, јер их попаде страх од Јевреја.
