Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree came near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it turned out that the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),
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。
2the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the people.
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。
3All the princes of the provinces, the local governors, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
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。
4For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.
4末底改 在朝中为大，名声传遍各省，日渐昌盛。
5The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who hated them.
5犹大 人用刀击杀一切仇敌，任意杀灭恨他们的人。
6In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
6在 书珊 城， 犹大 人杀灭了五百人；
7They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
7又杀 巴珊大他 、 达分 、 亚斯帕他 、
8Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
8破拉他 、 亚大利雅 、 亚利大他 、
9Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
9帕玛斯他 、 亚利赛 、 亚利代 、 瓦耶撒他 ；
10the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
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。
11On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Susa was brought before the king.
11当日，将 书珊 城被杀的人数呈在王前。
12The king said to Esther the queen, “The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done.”
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。」
13Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”
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。」
14The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Susa; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
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。
15The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Susa; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
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。
16The other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
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。
17This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
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。
18But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, 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。
19Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a holiday, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.
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。
20Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
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，
21to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,
21嘱咐他们每年守亚达月十四、十五两日，
22as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.
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。
23The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them,
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；
24because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast “Pur”, that is the lot, to consume them and to destroy 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；
25but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plan, which he had planned against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
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。
26Therefore they called these days “Purim”, from the word “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 to them,
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，
27the Jews established and imposed on themselves, on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail that they would keep these two days according to what was written and according to its appointed time every year;
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。
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 their memory perish from their offspring.
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。
29Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
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」，
30He sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus with words of peace and truth,
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，
31to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants in the matter of the fastings and their mourning.
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。
32The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
32以斯帖 命定守「普珥日」，这事也记录在书上。
