1 Posle toga, podiže car Asvir Amana, sina Amedatinog, Agageja, i uzvisi ga, i namesti mu presto više svih knezova što behu kod njega.
1 After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.
2 I sve sluge careve što behu na vratima carevim klanjahu se i padahu pred Amanom, jer tako beše car zapovedio za nj. Ali Mardohej ne klanjaše se niti padaše.
2 All the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai didn’t bow down or pay him homage.
3 I sluge careve što behu na vratima carevim govorahu Mardoheju: Zašto prestupaš zapovest carevu?
3 Then the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s commandment?”
4 I pošto mu od dana na dan govoraše, a on ne posluša, javiše Amanu da vide hoće li ostati reči Mardohejeve, jer im beše kazao da je Judejac.
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn’t listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
5 A kad vide Aman da se Mardohej ne klanja niti pada pred njim, napuni se gneva Aman.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai didn’t bow down nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
6 Ali mišljaše da nije vredno da digne ruku na Mardoheja samog, jer mu kazaše kog naroda beše Mardohej, nego gledaše da istrebi sve Judejce što behu po svemu carstvu Asvirovom, narod Mardohejev.
6 But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai’s people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even Mordecai’s people.
7 Prvog meseca, a to je mesec Nisan, godine dvanaeste carovanja Asvirovog, bacaše Fur, to jest žreb, pred Amanom, od dana do dana i od meseca do meseca, do dvanaestog meseca, a to je mesec Adar.
7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
8 I Aman reče caru Asviru: Ima narod rasejan i rasut po narodima po svim zemljama carstva tvog, kog su zakoni drugačiji od zakona svih naroda, i ne izvršuje zakona carevih, pa nije probitačno caru da ih ostavi.
8 Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different from other people’s. They don’t keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not for the king’s profit to allow them to remain.
9 Ako je caru ugodno, da se piše da se istrebe; i ja ću izmeriti deset hiljada talanata srebra u ruke pristavima da donesu u carevu riznicu.
9 If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.”
10 Tada car snimi prsten s ruke svoje i dade ga Amanu sinu Amedatinom Agageju neprijatelju judejskom.
10 The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
11 I reče Amanu: To srebro neka tebi, a od naroda čini šta ti je drago.
11 The king said to Haman, “The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.”
12 Zato dozvaše pisare careve prvog meseca trinaestog dana, i napisa se sve kako zapovedi Aman, namesnicima carevim i vojvodama u svakoj zemlji i knezovima svakog naroda, svakoj zemlji pismom njenim i svakom narodu jezikom njegovim, u ime cara Asvira napisa se i prstenom carevim zapečati se.
12 Then the king’s scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king’s local governors, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus, and it was sealed with the king’s ring.
13 I razaslaše se knjige po glasnicima u sve zemlje careve da potru, pobiju i istrebe sve Judejce, staro i mlado, decu i žene u jedan dan, trinaestog dana dvanaestog meseca, koje je mesec Adar, i da razgrabe imanje njihovo.
13 Letters were sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
14 U knjigama se govoraše da se oglasi zapovest po svim zemljama i da se objavi svim narodima da budu gotovi za onaj dan.
14 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
15 Glasnici otidoše brzo po zapovesti carevoj, i zapovest bi oglašena u Susanu, carskom gradu. A car i Aman seđahu i pijahu, a grad se Susan smete.
15 The couriers went out in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.
