Capitolo 8
1
Istog dana dade car Asvir carici Jestiri kuću Amana neprijatelja judejskog. A Mardohej iziđe pred cara, jer Jestira kaza šta joj je on;
2
i car snimivši prsten svoj, koji beše uzeo od Amana, dade ga Mardoheju; a Jestira postavi Mardoheja nad kućom Amanovom.
3
Potom Jestira opet govori caru i padnuvši pred noge njegove i plačući moljaše ga da ukloni zloću Amana Agageja i misao njegovu koju beše smislio na Judejce.
4
Tada car pruži zlatnu palicu prema Jestiri, i Jestira usta i stade pred carem.
5
I reče: Ako je ugodno caru i ako sam našla milost pred njim, i ako je pravo pred carem i ako samu mu mila, neka se piše da se poreknu knjige u kojima je misao Amana sina Amedatinog, Agageja, koje je raspisao da se istrebe Judejci što su po svim zemljama carevim.
6
Jer kako bih mogla gledati zlo koje bi zadesilo moj narod? I kako bih mogla gledati da se potre rod moj?
7
A car Asvir reče carici Jestiri i Mardoheju Judejcu: Eto, dao sam kuću Amanovu Jestiri, a njega su obesili na vešala zato što htede dignuti ruku svoju na Judejce.
8
Vi dakle pišite za Judejce kako vam je drago u ime carevo i zapečatite prstenom carevim; jer šta se piše u ime carevo i zapečati prstenom carevim ne može se poreći.
9
I dozvaše pisare careve u isto vreme, trećeg meseca, koji je mesec Sivan, dvadeset trećeg dana, i pisa se sve, kako zapovedi Mardohej, Judejcima i namesnicima i knezovima i upraviteljima po zemljama, od Indije do Etiopije, sto i dvadeset i sedam zemalja, u svaku zemlju njenim pismom i svakom narodu njegovim jezikom, i Judejcima njihovim pismom i njihovim jezikom.
10
A napisa u ime cara Asvira i zapečati prstenom carevim, i razasla knjige po glasnicima koji jahahu na brzim konjima i na mladim mazgama:
11
Da je car dopustio Judejcima što su u kome god gradu da se skupe i brane život svoj, da potru i pobiju i istrebe svaku vojsku kog mu drago naroda i zemlje, koji bi udarili na njih, i decu njihovu i žene njihove, a imanje njihovo da razgrabe.
12
U isti dan po svim zemljama cara Asvira, trinaestog dana meseca dvanaestog, koje je mesec Adar.
13
U knjigama se govoraše da se oglasi zapovest po svim zemljama i da se objavi svim narodima da Judejci budu gotovi za onaj dan da se osvete svojim neprijateljima.
14
Glasnici koji jahahu na brzim konjima i mazgama otidoše brzo i hitno po zapovesti carevoj; i zapovest bi oglašena u Susanu, carskom gradu.
15
A Mardohej otide od cara u carskom odelu ljubičastom i belom i pod zlatnim vencem velikim i u plaštu od tankog platna i skerleta, i grad Susan radovaše se i veseljaše se.
16
Judejcima dođe svetlost i veselje i radost i slava.
17
I u svakoj zemlji i u svakom gradu, gde god dođe zapovest careva i naredba njegova, beše radost i veselje među Judejcima, gozba i blagi dani, i mnogi iz naroda zemaljskih postajahu Judejci, jer ih popade strah od Jevreja.
Esther
Capitolo 8
1
On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
2
And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
3
¶ And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
4
Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
5
And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces:
6
For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
7
¶ Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
8
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
9
Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
10
And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
11
Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
12
Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
13
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
14
So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
15
¶ And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
16
The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
17
And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
