1 После тога, подиже цар Асвир Амана, сина Амедатиног, Агагеја, и узвиси га, и намести му престо више свих кнезова што беху код њега.
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 И све слуге цареве што беху на вратима царевим клањаху се и падаху пред Аманом, јер тако беше цар заповедио за њ. Али Мардохеј не клањаше се нити падаше.
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 И слуге цареве што беху на вратима царевим говораху Мардохеју: Зашто преступаш заповест цареву?
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 И пошто му од дана на дан говораше, а он не послуша, јавише Аману да виде хоће ли остати речи Мардохејеве, јер им беше казао да је Јудејац.
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 А кад виде Аман да се Мардохеј не клања нити пада пред њим, напуни се гнева Аман.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai didn’t bow down nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
6 Али мишљаше да није вредно да дигне руку на Мардохеја самог, јер му казаше ког народа беше Мардохеј, него гледаше да истреби све Јудејце што беху по свему царству Асвировом, народ Мардохејев.
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 Првог месеца, а то је месец Нисан, године дванаесте царовања Асвировог, бацаше Фур, то јест жреб, пред Аманом, од дана до дана и од месеца до месеца, до дванаестог месеца, а то је месец Адар.
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 И Аман рече цару Асвиру: Има народ расејан и расут по народима по свим земљама царства твог, ког су закони другачији од закона свих народа, и не извршује закона царевих, па није пробитачно цару да их остави.
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 Ако је цару угодно, да се пише да се истребе; и ја ћу измерити десет хиљада таланата сребра у руке приставима да донесу у цареву ризницу.
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 Тада цар сними прстен с руке своје и даде га Аману сину Амедатином Агагеју непријатељу јудејском.
10 The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
11 И рече Аману: То сребро нека теби, а од народа чини шта ти је драго.
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 Зато дозваше писаре цареве првог месеца тринаестог дана, и написа се све како заповеди Аман, намесницима царевим и војводама у свакој земљи и кнезовима сваког народа, свакој земљи писмом њеним и сваком народу језиком његовим, у име цара Асвира написа се и прстеном царевим запечати се.
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 И разаслаше се књиге по гласницима у све земље цареве да потру, побију и истребе све Јудејце, старо и младо, децу и жене у један дан, тринаестог дана дванаестог месеца, које је месец Адар, и да разграбе имање њихово.
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 У књигама се говораше да се огласи заповест по свим земљама и да се објави свим народима да буду готови за онај дан.
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 Гласници отидоше брзо по заповести царевој, и заповест би оглашена у Сусану, царском граду. А цар и Аман сеђаху и пијаху, а град се Сусан смете.
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.
