¹Now in the twelfth month, that 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 power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)

¹V dvanajstem mesecu pa, ki je mesec Adar, trinajstega dne tega meseca, ko bi se bila imela izvršiti kraljeva beseda in njegovo povelje, tisti dan, ko so se sovražniki Judov nadejali, da jih bodo premogli, se je obrnilo, da so Judje premogli sovražilce svoje;

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 fell upon all people.

²tedaj so se zbrali Judje v mestih svojih po vseh pokrajinah kralja Ahasvera, da polože roko na tiste, ki so iskali njih nesreče. In nihče ni mogel stati pred njimi, zakaj strah pred njimi je obvladal vsa ljudstva.

³And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.

³In vsi knezi pokrajin in kraljevi namestniki in deželski oblastniki in oskrbniki kraljevih opravil so podpirali Jude, kajti navdal jih je strah pred Mardohejem.

⁴For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

⁴Zakaj Mardohej je bil velik v kraljevi hiši in glas o njem je šel po vseh deželah; kajti mož Mardohej je postajal čimdalje večji.

⁵Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.

⁵In pobili so Judje vse sovražnike svoje z udarci meča in so jih pomorili in pogubili, in po svoji volji so ravnali s sovražilci svojimi.

⁶And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.

⁶In v gradu Susanu so Judje pobili in pomorili petsto mož.

⁷And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,

⁷In Parsandata, Dalfona, Aspata,

⁸And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

⁸Porata, Adalija, Aridata,

⁹And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,

⁹Parmasta, Arisaja, Aridaja in Vajzata,

¹⁰The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.

¹⁰desetero sinov Hamana, sinu Hamedata, sovražnika Judov, so pobili, ali po plenu niso segli s svojo roko.

¹¹On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.

¹¹Tisti dan so poročali število pomorjenih v gradu Susanu pred kraljem.

¹²And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.

¹²In reče kralj kraljici Esteri: Judje so pobili in pomorili petsto mož v gradu Susanu in desetero sinov Hamanovih, kaj so pač storili po drugih pokrajinah kraljevih! Pa kaj je prošnja tvoja? ker dano ti bo. In česa želiš še? ker se ti zgodi.

¹³Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which 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.

¹³Tedaj reče Estera: Ako se vzvidi kralju, naj se dovoli Judom, ki so v Susanu, da delajo tudi jutri po današnjem ukazu, desetero sinov Hamanovih pa naj obesijo na vislice.

¹⁴And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

¹⁴In kralj je velel, naj se tako zgodi, in ukaz je bil izdan v Susanu; in deset sinov Hamanovih so obesili.

¹⁵For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.

¹⁵In Judje, ki so bili v Susanu, so se zbrali na štirinajsti dan meseca Adarja in pomorili v Susanu tristo mož ali po plenu niso segli s svojo roko.

¹⁶But 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 their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,

¹⁶Drugi Judje pa, ki so živeli po kraljevih pokrajinah, so se zbrali in branili življenje svoje in si pridobili pokoj od svojih sovražnikov ter pobili petinsedemdeset tisoč sovražilcev svojih ali po plenu niso segli s svojo roko,

¹⁷On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

¹⁷trinajsti dan meseca Adarja; in štirinajsti dan meseca so počivali in ga naredili za dan gostovanja in veselja.

¹⁸But the Jews that were at 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.

¹⁸Judje pa, ki so bili v Susanu, so se zbrali trinajsti in štirinajsti dan meseca, in petnajsti dan so počivali ter ga naredili za dan gostovanja in veselja.

¹⁹Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

¹⁹Zato praznujejo Judje, ki stanujejo po deželi v neobzidanih mestih, štirinajsti dan meseca Adarja kot dan veselja in gostovanja in prazničen dan, in pošiljajo darila drug drugemu.

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,

²⁰In Mardohej je spisal te zgodbe in poslal liste vsem Judom, ki so bili po vseh pokrajinah kralja Ahasvera, bližnjim in daljnim,

²¹To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,

²¹naročajoč jim, naj praznujejo štirinajsti dan meseca Adarja in petnajsti dan vsako leto

²²As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

²²kot dneva, v katerih so Judje dosegli pokoj od sovražnikov svojih, in kot mesec, v katerem se jim je premenila žalost v veselje in plakanje v prazničen dan; in naj ju postavijo za dneva gostovanja in veselja in pošiljanja daril drug drugemu in podeljevanja ubogim.

²³And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;

²³In Judje so sprejeli v izpolnjevanje, kar so bili že začeli in kar jim je pisal Mardohej.

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 consume them, and to destroy them;

²⁴Kajti Haman, sin Hamedatov, Agagejec, nasprotnik vseh Judov, je skoval naklep zoper Jude, da jih pogube, in je vrgel pur, to je žreb, da jih zatro in pokončajo.

²⁵But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

²⁵Ko pa je Estera prišla pred kralja, je zapovedal z listi, naj se mu povrne njegov hudobni naklep, ki ga je nasnoval zoper Jude, na glavo njegovo; in obesili so njega in sinove njegove na vislice.

²⁶Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,

²⁶Zato so imenovali tiste dni purim, po imenu pur. Zategadelj, zaradi vseh besed tega lista in zaradi tega, kar so sami videli iz te reči in kar jih je doletelo,

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 their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;

²⁷so Judje določili in vzeli nase in na seme svoje in na vse, ki se bodo k njim pridružili, kot neminljivo postavo: da bodo praznovali ta dva dneva, kakor je zanju predpisano in njiju čas določen, vsako leto;

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.

²⁸in da se je spominjati teh dni in ju praznovati v slehernem rodu, v sleherni rodbini, v vsaki pokrajini in v vsakem mestu; in da ne smeta ta dneva purima izginiti izmed Judov niti njiju spomin nehati pri njih zarodu.

²⁹Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.

²⁹In kraljica Estera, hči Abihailova, in Mardohej Jud, sta pisala z vsem poudarkom, da se potrdi ta drugi list o purimu.

³⁰And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

³⁰In poslali so se listi vsem Judom v sto in sedemindvajsetih pokrajinah kraljestva Ahasverovega z besedami miru in resnice,

³¹To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.

³¹da se potrdita ta dneva purima v njiju določenih časih, kakor sta jim ukazala Mardohej Jud in kraljica Estera in kakor so si ustanovili zase in za seme svoje, namreč določbo o postih in žalovanju.In ukaz Esterin je potrdil te zadeve purima in zapisano je bilo v knjigo.

³²And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.

³²In ukaz Esterin je potrdil te zadeve purima in zapisano je bilo v knjigo.
