Kapitel 1
1
U vreme Asvirovo, a taj Asvir carovaše od Indije do Etiopije u sto i dvadeset i sedam zemalja,
2
u to vreme, kad seđaše car Asvir na prestolu carstva svog u Susanu carskom gradu,
3
treće godine carovanja svog učini gozbu svim knezovima svojim i slugama svojim, te beše kod njega sila persijska i midska, vlastelji i upravitelji zemaljski;
4
i on pokazivaše bogatstvo i slavu carstva svog i diku i krasotu veličine svoje mnogo dana, sto i osamdeset dana.
5
I posle tih dana učini car svemu narodu što ga beše u Susanu carskom gradu od malog do velikog gozbu za sedam dana u tremu u vrtu od carskog dvora.
6
Zavesi beli, zeleni i ljubičasti behu obešeni vrpcama belim, lanenim i skerletnim o biočuzima srebrnim na stupovima mramornim; odri behu zlatni i srebrni po podu od zelenog, belog, žutog i crvenog mramora.
7
A piće davahu u sudovima zlatnim, i to u sudovima drugim i drugim, a vina carskog beše izobila, kako može biti u cara.
8
I pićem niko ne navaljivaše po naredbi, jer car beše zapovedio svim pristavima doma svog da čine kako ko hoće.
9
I carica Astina učini gozbu ženama u carskom dvoru cara Asvira.
10
Sedmi dan kad se car razveseli od vina reče Meumanu, Visati, Arvoni, Vikti, Avakti, Zetaru i Harkasu, sedmorici dvorana koji dvorahu pred carem Asvirom,
11
da dovedu caricu Astinu pred cara pod carskim vencem, da pokaže narodima i knezovima lepotu njenu, jer beše lepa.
12
Ali carica Astina ne hte doći na reč carevu, koju joj poruči po dvoranima; zato se car vrlo razgnevi i gnev se njegov raspali u njemu.
13
I reče car mudracima koji razumevahu vremena (jer tako car iznošaše stvari pred sve koji razumevahu zakon i pravdu,
14
a najbliži do njega behu Karsena, Setar, Admata, Tarsis, Meres, Marsena i Memukan, sedam knezova persijskih i midskih, koji gledahu lice carevo i seđahu na prvim mestima u carstvu):
15
Šta treba po zakonu činiti s caricom Astinom što nije učinila šta je zapovedio car Asvir preko dvorana?
16
Tada reče Memukan pred carem i knezovima: Nije samo caru skrivila carica Astina nego i svim knezovima i svim narodima po svim zemljama cara Asvira.
17
Jer će se delo caričino razići među sve žene, pa će prezirati muževe svoje govoreći: Car Asvir zapovedi da dovedu preda nj caricu Astinu, a ona ne dođe.
18
I od danas će kneginje persijske i midske koje čuju šta je učinila carica tako govoriti svim knezovima carevim; te će biti mnogo prkosa i svađe.
19
Ako je ugodno caru, da iziđe carska zapovest od njega i da se upiše među zakone persijske i midske da je nepromenljivo, da Astina ne izlazi više pred cara Asvira i da će car dati njeno carstvo drugoj, boljoj od nje.
20
I kad se zapovest careva koju učini čuje po carstvu njegovom svemu kolikom, sve će žene poštovati svoje muževe, od velikog do malog.
21
I ovo bi po volji caru i knezovima, i učini car kako reče Memukan.
22
I razasla knjige po svim zemljama carskim, u svaku zemlju njenim pismom i svakom narodu njegovim jezikom, da bi svaki muž bio gospodar u svojoj kući; i bi proglašeno jezikom svakog naroda.
Esther
Kapitel 1
1
Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)
2
That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
3
In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
4
When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.
5
And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace;
6
Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.
7
And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.
8
And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
9
Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
10
¶ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
11
To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
12
But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
13
¶ Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
14
And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
15
What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
16
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17
For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
18
Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king’s princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
19
If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
20
And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
21
And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
22
For he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.
