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 drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it was turned out the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),

¹Potom dvanásteho mesiaca, ktorý to mesiac je mesiac adar, trinásteho dňa toho mesiaca, ktorého prišlo slovo kráľovo a jeho zákon ta, aby boly vykonané, toho dňa, ktorého sa nadejali nepriatelia Židov, že dostanú moc nad nimi, obrátilo sa to tak, že oni, Židia, dostali moc nad tými, ktorí ich nenávideli.

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.

²Lebo sa shromaždili Židia vo svojich mestách vo všetkých krajinách kráľa Ahasvera, aby vystreli ruku na tých, ktorí hľadali ich zlé, ani neobstál nikto pred nimi, lebo ich strach padol na všetky národy.

³All the princes of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.

³I všetky kniežatá krajín a vladári, vojvodovia a tí, ktorí konali prácu kráľovu, pomáhali Židom, lebo padol na nich strach Mardocheov.

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.

⁴Lebo Mardocheus bol veľkým v dome kráľovom, a jeho povesť išla po všetkých krajinách, pretože muž Mardocheus bol čo ďalej tým väčší.

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.

⁵A Židia uderili na všetkých svojich nepriateľov bijúc ich mečom, vraždiac a hubiac a tak urobili tým, ktorí ich nenávideli, po svojej vôli.

⁶In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.

⁶A na hrade Súsane zabili Židia a zahubili päťsto mužov,

⁷They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,

⁷i Paršandata, Dalfona a Asfata,

⁸Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,

⁸Poráta, Adalia a Aridata,

⁹Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,

⁹Parmašta, Arisaja, Aridaja a Vajzata,

¹⁰the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew’s enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.

¹⁰desiatich synov Hámana, syna Hammedatovho, protivníka Židov, zabili, ale po lúpeži nevystreli svojej ruky.

¹¹On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Susa was brought before the king.

¹¹Toho dňa, keď prišiel počet pobitých na hrade Súsane pred kráľa,

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.”

¹²povedal kráľ kráľovnej Esteri: Na hrade Súsane zabili Židia a zahubili päťsto mužov a desiatich synov Hámanových. A čo učinili v ostatných krajinách kráľových? A čo je tvoja žiadosť? A bude ti daná. A čo je ešte tvoja prosba? A učiní sa.

¹³Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”

¹³A Ester odpovedala: Jestli sa vidí kráľovi za dobré, nech sa dá i zajtra Židom, ktorí sú v Súsane, aby urobili podľa zákona tohoto dňa, a desiatich synov Hámanových nech obesia na šibenicu.

¹⁴The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.

¹⁴A kráľ rozkázal, aby sa urobilo tak, a tedy bol vydaný zákon v Súsane, a desiatich synov Hámanových obesili.

¹⁵The Jews who were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Shushan; but they didn’t lay their hand on the spoil.

¹⁵A Židia, ktorí boli v Súsane, shromaždili sa aj štrnásteho dňa mesiaca adara a zabili v Súsane tristo mužov, ale po koristi nevystreli svojej ruky.

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.

¹⁶A ostatní Židia, ktorí boli v krajinách kráľových, tiež sa shromaždili a postavili sa do boja za svoj život a tak mali pokoj od svojich nepriateľov a pobili z tých, ktorí ich nenávideli, sedemdesiatpäť tisíc, ale po koristi nevystreli svojej ruky.

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.

¹⁷To bolo trinásteho dňa mesiaca adara, a mali pokoj štrnásteho dňa toho mesiaca a urobili ho dňom hodu a radosti.

¹⁸But the Jews who were in Shushan 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.

¹⁸Ale Židia, ktorí boli v Súsane, shromaždili sa trinásteho dňa toho mesiaca i štrnásteho dňa toho mesiaca a mali pokoj pätnásteho dňa toho istého mesiaca a urobili ho dňom hodu a radosti.

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 good day, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.

¹⁹Preto Židia, obyvatelia dedín, ktorí bývajú v neohradených mestách, svätia štrnásty deň mesiaca adara jako deň radosti a hodu a jako dobrý deň, to jest sviatok, a posielajú jedni druhým čiastky pokrmov.

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,

²⁰A Mardocheus opísal tieto veci a poslal listy ku všetkým Židom, ktorí boli kdekoľvek po všetkých krajinách kráľa Ahasvera, blízkym i ďalekým,

²¹to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,

²¹ustanovujúc im, aby svätili štrnásty deň mesiaca adara i pätnásty deň toho mesiaca každého roku,

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 good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.

²²podľa dní, v ktorých mali Židia už pokoj od svojich nepriateľov a podľa mesiaca, ktorý sa im obrátil z trápenia duše na radosť a zo smútku na dobrý deň, aby ich svätili jako dni hodu a radosti a aby si navzájom posielali pôcty, čiastky slávnostného pokrmu, a dary chudobným.

²³The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them;

²³A Židia to prijali, že budú robiť to, čo začali, a to, čo im napísal Mardocheus.

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;

²⁴Lebo Háman, syn Hammedatov, Agagský, protivník všetkých Židov, zamýšľal o Židoch, aby ich zahubil a hodil púr, to jest los, aby ich rozdrtil a zahubil.

²⁵but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

²⁵Ale keď to prišlo pred kráľa, rozkázal listom, aby sa jeho zlostný úmysel, ktorý bol umyslel proti Židom, obrátil na jeho hlavu, a tak ho obesili i jeho synov na šibenicu.

²⁶Therefore they called these days “Purim, Purim is the Hebrew plural for pur, which means lot. ” 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,

²⁶Preto pomenovali tie dni Púrim podľa mena púr. A preto pre všetky slová toho listu, a preto, čo videli pri tom, a čo ich bolo stihlo,

²⁷the Jews established, and imposed on themselves, and 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;

²⁷ustanovili a prijali Židia na seba a na svoje semeno jako i na všetkých tých, ktorí by sa kedy pripojili k nim, že to nezajde, aby nesvätili tých dvoch dní podľa toho, jako je o nich napísané, a podľa ich času každého roku,

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 seed.

²⁸a že sa má pamätať na tie dni, a že sa majú svätiť v každom pokolení, v každej čeľadi, v každej krajine a v každom meste, a že tie dni Púrim nezajdú z prostredku Židov, ani že ich pamiatka nevyhynie u ich potomstva.

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

²⁹A písala i kráľovná Ester, dcéra Abichailova, i Žid Mardocheus dôrazne, s celou mocou, i po druhé, aby pevne postavili ten list o sviatku Púrim.

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

³⁰A poslal listy ku všetkým Židom, do sto dvadsaťsedem krajín kráľovstva Ahasvera, slová pokoja a pravdy,

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 cry.

³¹postaviť pevne tie dni Púrim, aby ich zachovávali na ich časy, jako im ich nariadil Žid Mardocheus a kráľovná Ester, a jako to prijali za ustanovenie na seba a na svoje semä, predpisy pôstov a ich kriku.

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

³²A tak rozkaz Esterin ustanovil pevne predpisy sviatku týchto Púrim, a bolo to zapísané do knihy.
