Ester 9
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1No décimo segundo mês, que é o mês de adar, no décimo terceiro dia do mês, quando a ordem do rei e o seu decreto estavam prestes a ser executados, no dia em que os inimigos dos judeus esperavam dominá-los (mas aconteceu o contrário, pois os judeus dominaram aqueles que os odiavam),
1So 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.
2os judeus se reuniram em suas cidades, em todas as províncias do rei Assuero, para pôr as mãos naqueles que queriam fazer-lhes mal. Ninguém podia resistir a eles, porque o medo deles havia caído sobre todos os povos.
2And 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.
3Todos os príncipes das províncias, os governadores locais, os governadores e os que cuidavam dos negócios do rei ajudaram os judeus, porque o medo de Mardoqueu havia caído sobre eles.
3And 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:
4Pois Mardoqueu era grande na casa do rei, e a sua fama se espalhava por todas as províncias, pois o homem Mardoqueu se tornava cada vez mais poderoso.
4For 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.
5Os judeus feriram todos os seus inimigos a golpes de espada, com matança e destruição, e fizeram o que queriam com aqueles que os odiavam.
5So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them:
6Na cidadela de Susã, os judeus mataram e destruíram quinhentos homens.
6Insomuch 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:
7Eles mataram Parsandata, Dalfom, Aspata,
7Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha,
8Porata, Adália, Aridata,
8And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9Parmasta, Arisai, Aridai e Vaizata,
9And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha.
10os dez filhos de Hamã, filho de Hamedata, o inimigo dos judeus; mas não puseram as mãos nos despojos.
10And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods.
11Naquele dia, o número dos que foram mortos na cidadela de Susã foi levado à presença do rei.
11And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king.
12O rei disse à rainha Ester: “Os judeus mataram e destruíram quinhentos homens na cidadela de Susã, incluindo os dez filhos de Hamã; o que então eles terão feito no resto das províncias do rei! Agora, qual é a sua petição? Ela lhe será concedida. Qual é o seu próximo pedido? Ele será atendido.”
12And 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?
13Então Ester disse: “Se for do agrado do rei, que seja concedido aos judeus que estão em Susã que façam também amanhã segundo o decreto de hoje, e que os dez filhos de Hamã sejam enforcados na forca.”
13And 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.
14O rei ordenou que isso fosse feito. Um decreto foi publicado em Susã; e eles enforcaram os dez filhos de Hamã.
14And 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.
15Os judeus que estavam em Susã se reuniram também no décimo quarto dia do mês de adar, e mataram trezentos homens em Susã; mas não puseram as mãos nos despojos.
15And 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.
16Os outros judeus que estavam nas províncias do rei se reuniram, defenderam as suas vidas, tiveram descanso dos seus inimigos e mataram setenta e cinco mil daqueles que os odiavam; mas não puseram as mãos nos despojos.
16Moreover 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.
17Isso foi feito no décimo terceiro dia do mês de adar; e no décimo quarto dia desse mês eles descansaram e o tornaram um dia de banquete e alegria.
17Now 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.
18Mas os judeus que estavam em Susã se reuniram no décimo terceiro e no décimo quarto dias do mês; e no décimo quinto dia desse mês, eles descansaram, e o tornaram um dia de banquete e alegria.
18But 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.
19Portanto, os judeus das aldeias, que vivem nas cidades sem muros, fazem do décimo quarto dia do mês de adar um dia de alegria e banquete, um dia de festa, e um dia de enviar presentes de comida uns aos outros.
19But 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.
20Mardoqueu escreveu essas coisas e enviou cartas a todos os judeus que estavam em todas as províncias do rei Assuero, tanto perto quanto longe,
20And 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,
21para lhes ordenar que guardassem o décimo quarto e o décimo quinto dias do mês de adar, anualmente,
21That 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:
22como os dias em que os judeus tiveram descanso dos seus inimigos, e o mês que se transformou para eles de tristeza em alegria, e de luto em um dia de festa; que eles os fizessem dias de banquete e alegria, e de enviar presentes de comida uns aos outros, e dádivas aos necessitados.
22Because 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.
23Os judeus aceitaram o costume que haviam começado, conforme Mardoqueu lhes havia escrito,
23And 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.
24porque Hamã, filho de Hamedata, o agagita, o inimigo de todos os judeus, havia tramado contra os judeus para destruí-los, e havia lançado o “Pur”, isto é, a sorte, para consumi-los e destruí-los;
24For 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.
25mas quando isso chegou ao conhecimento do rei, ele ordenou por cartas que o plano perverso, que ele havia planejado contra os judeus, recaísse sobre a sua própria cabeça, e que ele e os seus filhos fossem enforcados na forca.
25And 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.
26Portanto, eles chamaram esses dias de “Purim”, da palavra “Pur”. Portanto, por causa de todas as palavras desta carta, e daquilo que eles tinham visto a respeito desse assunto, e daquilo que lhes havia acontecido,
26And 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:
27os judeus estabeleceram e impuseram a si mesmos, aos seus descendentes e a todos aqueles que se juntassem a eles, para que não deixassem de guardar esses dois dias, de acordo com o que estava escrito e de acordo com o seu tempo determinado, todos os anos;
27And 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.
28e que esses dias fossem lembrados e guardados por todas as gerações, todas as famílias, todas as províncias e todas as cidades; e que esses dias de Purim não deixassem de ser celebrados entre os judeus, nem a sua memória perecesse entre os seus descendentes.
28These 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.
29Então a rainha Ester, filha de Abiail, e o judeu Mardoqueu escreveram com toda a autoridade para confirmar esta segunda carta de Purim.
29And 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.
30Ele enviou cartas a todos os judeus nas cento e vinte e sete províncias do reino de Assuero com palavras de paz e verdade,
30And 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,
31para confirmar esses dias de Purim em seus tempos determinados, conforme o judeu Mardoqueu e a rainha Ester haviam decretado, e conforme eles haviam imposto a si mesmos e aos seus descendentes na questão dos jejuns e do seu pranto.
31And 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,
32A ordem de Ester confirmou essas questões de Purim; e isso foi escrito no livro.
32And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
