DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you in the king's name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king's name, and were sealed with his ring. ⁹ Then the king's scribes and secretaries were called for (now it was the time of the third month which is called Siban) the three and twentieth day of the month, and letters were written, as Mardochai had a mind, to the Jews, and to the governors, and to the deputies, and to the judges, who were rulers over the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia: to province and province, to people and people, according to their languages and characters, and to the Jews, according as they could read and hear. ¹⁰ And these letters which were sent in the king's name, were sealed with his ring, and sent by posts: who were to run through all the provinces, to prevent the former letters with new messages. ¹¹ And the king gave orders to them, to speak to the Jews in every city, and to command them to gather themselves together, and to stand for their lives, and to kill and destroy all their enemies with their wives and children and all their houses, and to take their spoil. ¹² And one day of revenge was appointed through all the provinces, to wit, the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar.
(16:1) The great king Artaxerxes, from India to Ethiopia, to the governors and princes of a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, which obey our command, sendeth greeting.
(16:2) Many have abused unto pride the goodness of princes, and the honour that hath been bestowed upon them:
(16:3) And not only endeavour to oppress the king's subjects, but not bearing the glory that is given them, take in hand, to practise also against them that gave it.
(16:4) Neither are they content not to return thanks for benefits received, and to violate in themselves the laws of humanity, but they think they can also escape the justice of God who seeth all things.
(16:5) And they break out into so great madness, as to endeavour to undermine by lies such as observe diligently the offices committed to them, and do all things in such manner as to be worthy of all men's praise,
(16:6) While with crafty fraud they deceive the ears of princes that are well meaning, and judge of others by their own nature.
(16:7) Now this is proved both from ancient histories, and by the things which are done daily, how the good designs of kings are depraved by the evil suggestions of certain men.
(16:8) Wherefore we must provide for the peace of all provinces.
(16:9) Neither must you think, if we command different things, that it cometh of the levity of our mind, but that we give sentence according to the quality and necessity of times, as the profit of the commonwealth requireth.
(16:10) Now that you may more plainly understand what we say, Aman the son of Amadathi, a Macedonian both in mind and country, and having nothing of the Persian blood, but with his cruelty staining our goodness, was received being a stranger by us:
(16:11) And found our humanity so great towards him, that he was called our father, and was worshipped by all as the next man after the king:
(16:12) But he was so far puffed up with arrogancy, as to go about to deprive us of our kingdom and life.
(16:13) For with certain new and unheard of devices he hath sought the destruction of Mardochai, by whose fidelity and good services our life was saved, and of Esther the partner of our kingdom with all their nation:
(16:14) Thinking that after they were slain, he might work treason against us left alone without friends, and might transfer the kingdom of the Persians to the Macedonians.
(16:15) But we have found that the Jews, who were by that most wicked man appointed to be slain, are in no fault at all, but contrariwise, use just laws,
(16:16) And are the children of the highest and the greatest, and the ever living God, by whose benefit the kingdom was given both to our fathers and to us, and is kept unto this day.
(16:17) Wherefore know ye that those letters which he sent in our name, are void and of no effect.
(16:18) For which crime both he himself that devised it, and all his kindred hang on gibbets, before the gates of this city Susan: not we, but God repaying him as he deserved.
(16:19) But this edict, which we now send, shall be published in all cities, that the Jews may freely follow their own laws.
(16:20) And you shall aid them that they may kill those who had prepared themselves to kill them, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is called Adar.
(16:21) For the almighty God hath turned this day of sadness and mourning into joy to them.
(16:22) Wherefore you shall also count this day among other festival days, and celebrate it with all joy, that it may be known also in times to come,
(16:23) That all they who faithfully obey the Persians, receive a worthy reward for their fidelity: but they that are traitors to their kingdom, are destroyed for their wickedness.
(16:24) And let every province and city, that will not be partaker of this solemnity, perish by the sword and by fire, and be destroyed in such manner as to be made unpassable, both to men and beasts, for an example of contempt, and disobedience. ¹³ And this was the content of the letter, that it should be notified in all lands and peoples that were subject to the empire of king Assuerus, that the Jews were ready to be revenged of their enemies.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.

Many who have been frequently honored by the most abundant kindness of their benefactors have conceived ambitious designs, and not only endeavor to hurt our subjects, but moreover, not being able to bear prosperity, they also endeavor to plot against their own benefactors. And they not only would utterly abolish gratitude from among men, but also, elated by the boastings of men who are strangers to all that is good, they suppose that they shall escape the sin-hating vengeance of the ever-seeing God. And oftentimes evil exhortation has made partakers of the guilt of shedding innocent blood, and has involved in irremediable calamities, many of those who were appointed to offices of authority, who had been entrusted with the management of their friends' affairs. While men, by the false sophistry of an evil disposition, have deceived the simple candor of the ruling powers. And it is possible to see this, not so much from more ancient traditionary accounts, as it is immediately in your power to see it by examining what things have been wickedly perpetrated by the baseness of men holding power in an unworthy manner. And it is right to take heed with regard to the future, that we may maintain the government in undisturbed peace for all men, adopting needful changes, and ever judging those cases which come under our notice, with truly equitable decision. For whereas Haman, a Macedonian, the son of Hammedatha, in reality an alien from the blood of the Persians, and differing widely from our mild course of government, having been hospitably entertained by us, obtained so large a share of our universal kindness, as to be called our father, and to continue the person next to the royal throne, reverenced by all. He, however, overcome by the pride of his station, endeavored to deprive us of our dominion, and our life; having by various and subtle artifices demanded for destruction both Mordecai, our deliverer and perpetual benefactor, and Esther, the blameless consort of our kingdom, with their whole nation. For by these methods, the thought, having surprised us in a defenseless rate, to transfer the dominion of the Persians to the Macedonians. But we find that the Jews, who have been consigned to destruction by the most abominable of men, are not malefactors, but living according to the most just laws, and being the sons of the living God, the Most High and Mighty, who maintains the kingdom, to us as well as to our forefathers, in the most excellent order. You will therefore do well in refusing to obey the letters sent by Haman the son of Hammedatha, because he that has done these things has been hanged with his whole family at the gates of Susa, Almighty God having swiftly returned to him a worthy recompense. We beseech you, therefore, having openly published a copy of this letter in every place, to give the Jews permission to use their own lawful customs, and to strengthen them, that on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar, on that same day, they may defend themselves against those who attacked them in a time of affliction. For in the place of the destruction of the chosen race, Almighty God has granted them this time of gladness. Therefore you also among your notable feasts, keep a distinct day with all festivity, that both now and hereafter it may be a day of deliverance to us and those who are well disposed toward the Persians, but to those that plotted against us a memorial of destruction. And every city and province collectively, which shall not do accordingly, shall be consumed with vengeance by spear and fire. It shall be made not only inaccessible to men, but also most hateful to wild beasts and birds forever. And let the copies be posted in conspicuous places throughout the kingdom, and let all the Jews be ready against this day, to fight against their enemies.

But we find that the Jews, who have been consigned to destruction by the most abominable of men, are not malefactors, but living according to the justest laws, and being the sons of the living God, the most high and mighty, who maintains the kingdom. to us as well as to our forefathers, in the most excellent order. You⌃ will therefore do well in refusing to obey the letter sent by Aman the son of Amadathes, because he that has done these things, has been hanged with his whole family at the gates of Susa, Almighty God having swiftly returned to him a worthy recompence, [We enjoin you] then, having openly published a copy of this letter in every place, to give the Jews permission to use their own lawful customs, and to strengthen them, that on the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar, on the self-same day, they may defend themselves against those who attack them in a time of affliction. For in the place of the destruction of the chosen race, Almighty God has granted them this [time of] gladness. Do you⌃ therefore also, among your [notable] feasts, keep a distinct day with all festivity, that both now and hereafter it may be a day of deliverance to us and who are well disposed toward the Persians, but to those that plotted against us a memorial of destruction. And every city and province collectively, which shall not do accordingly, shall be consumed with vengeance by spear and fire: it shall be made not only inaccessible to men, but most hateful to wild beasts and birds for ever.] And let the copies be posted in conspicuous places throughout the kingdom and let all the Jews be ready against this day, to fight against their enemies.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ »Send a letter about the Jews, writing whatever seems good to you, in the king's name, and stamp it with the king's ring: for a writing signed in the king's name and stamped with the king's ring may not be changed.« ⁹ Then at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, the king's scribes were summoned. Everything ordered by Mordecai was put in writing and sent to the Jews and the captains and the rulers and the chiefs of all the divisions of the kingdom from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven divisions, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing and their language. ¹⁰ The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses: ¹¹ In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives. To send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force. ¹² On one day in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, that is, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar. ¹³ A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their enemies.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Now, in the name of the king, you write what seems good to you concerning the Jewish people, and seal it with the king’s signet ring, for a document written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.”
⁹ The king’s scribes were summoned at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, and everything that Mordecai commanded the Jewish people, the regional authorities, the governors, and the provincial officials of the 127 provinces from India to Cush was written down for each province according to its script, for each people according to their language, and for the Jewish people according to their script and language. ¹⁰ He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed it with the king’s signet ring. He sent the letters by couriers on horseback, riding steeds especially bred for the king.
¹¹ What the king granted the Jewish people in every town was the right to assemble and defend themselves, to annihilate, kill, and destroy every armed force of a people or a province that was hostile to them, including children and women, and to plunder their property. ¹² Throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, the one day for the Jewish people to do this was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar. ¹³ A copy of the document was to be issued as law in each and every province and published for all people, indicating that the Jewish people were to be ready to take vengeance on their enemies on that day.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Write _⌊as you see fit_⌋* concerning the Jews in the name of the king, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for a decree that is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's signet ring cannot be revoked." ⁹ And the secretaries of the king were summoned* at that time, in the third month, which is in the month of Sivan on the twenty-third day, and an edict was written according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews and to the governors and satraps and officials of the provinces from India to Cush*—one hundred and twenty-seven provinces*—each province according to its own script and to every people in their own _⌊language_⌋,* and to the Jews in their own script and language. ¹⁰ And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and he sealed the letters with the king's signet ring and sent them* by couriers on horses, riding on royal horses _⌊bred by_⌋* racing mares.* ¹¹ In them the king allowed the Jews who were in every city to assemble and _⌊defend their lives_⌋,* to destroy and kill and annihilate any army of any people or province attacking them, including women and children, and to plunder their spoil, ¹² in one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar. ¹³ A copy of the _⌊edict_⌋* was to be given as law in each province to inform all the people, so that the Jews would be ready* on that day to avenge themselves from their enemies.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Now you may write in the king’s name as you please regarding the Jews, and seal it with the royal signet ring. For a decree that is written in the name of the king and sealed with the royal signet ring cannot be revoked.” ⁹ At once the royal scribes were summoned, and on the twenty-third day of the third month (the month of Sivan), they recorded all of Mordecai’s orders to the Jews and to the satraps, governors, and princes of the 127 provinces from India to Cush—writing to each province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language. ¹⁰ Mordecai wrote in the name of King Xerxes and sealed it with the royal signet ring. He sent the documents by mounted couriers riding on swift horses bred from the royal mares. ¹¹ By these letters the king permitted the Jews in each and every city the right to assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province hostile to them, including women and children, and to plunder their possessions. ¹² The single day appointed throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar. ¹³ A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued in every province and published to all the people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

And it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews and to the satraps and the governors and rulers of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, a hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to the writing of it and to every people after their language and to the Jews according to their writing and according to their language.
¹⁰ And he wrote the name of king Ahasuerus and sealed it with the king's ring and sent letters by post on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king's service bred of the stud, ¹¹ in which the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together and to stand for their life, to destroy, to kill and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province who would assault them, their 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 A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was proclaimed to all the peoples and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Écrivez vous-même en mon nom ce qu’il vous plaira, et scellez-le avec mon anneau; car nul ne peut contredire ce qui est écrit par l’ordre du roi, et revêtu de son scel. ⁹ Les scribes furent donc convoqués le vingt-trois du premier mois, du mois de nisan, de la même année, et l’on écrivit ce qui était ordonné, concernant les Juifs, aux intendants et aux chefs des satrapes des cent vingt- sept provinces, depuis l’Inde jusqu’à l’Éthiopie, en la langue de chacune d’elles. ¹⁰ On écrivit au nom du roi, et on scella de son sceau les lettres, et on les expédia par des courriers. ¹¹ Elles prescrivaient de permettre aux Juifs, en chaque ville, de vivre selon leur loi, de leur porter secours, et de mettre à leur merci leurs ennemis et ceux qui résisteraient, ¹² Dans le royaume d’Artaxerxès, le treizième jour du douzième mois qui est adar. ¹³ Voici la copie de la lettre: Le grand roi Artaxerxès aux satrapes des cent vingt- sept provinces, de l’Inde à l’Éthiopie, aux gouverneurs des districts, et aux hommes dévoués à mon service, salut. Il arrive que plusieurs, après avoir été souvent honorés des bienfaits de la bonté, ambitionnent plus encore; non-seulement ils cherchent à maltraiter nos sujets, mais, incapables de modérer leur orgueil, ils méditent de mauvais desseins contre leurs bienfaiteurs; non-seulement ils veulent abolir la gratitude parmi les hommes, mais, exaltés par la vaine jactance de gens sans vertu, ils pensent se soustraire au jugement, fatal aux méchants, du Dieu qui voit toutes choses. Maintes fois la flatterie a rendu complices du crime de verser le sang innocent, et enveloppé de maux intolérables plusieurs de ceux qui sont investis de l’autorité, à qui est confié le maniement des affaires de leurs amis; certains hommes ayant trompé, par le faux raisonnement de la malice, la bienveillance sincère des puissants. Cela se peut voir moins par les plus anciennes histoires, que nous nous transmettons, qu’en examinant, sous nos pieds, les choses accomplies d’une manière criminelle par la pestilence d’hommes indignement revêtus du pouvoir; et il est de notre devoir, en vue de l’avenir, de préserver de trouble le royaume, et de donner la paix à tous les hommes, en usant de changements utiles, en jugeant, avec l’à-propos le plus équitable, les choses qui surviennent sous nos yeux. Aman, fils d’Amadathe, Macédonien en réalité, étranger au sang des Perses, bien éloigné de notre bonté naturelle, amicalement accueilli par nous, eut de notre amour, que nous portons à tous les hommes, une telle part que nous l’appelions notre père, que nous le faisions adorer par tous, et que nous lui avions donné la seconde place du royaume. Mais, il ne put maîtriser son orgueil, et il entreprit de nous ôter la vie et le pouvoir. D’abord; il nous demanda de perdre notre sauveur Mardochée, notre bienfaiteur en toute circonstance, et la reine Esther, notre irréprochable compagne, et tout leur peuple; et il me surprit par un tissu d’accusations calomnieuses. Et il espérait par ses artifices dépeupler nos provinces, et faire passer aux Macédoniens l’empire des Perses. Ce triple scélérat nous avait donc trahis au point de nous décider à exterminer les Juifs, quand nous avons reconnu que, loin d’être portés à mal faire, ils obéissaient aux lois les plus justes, qu’ils étaient les fils du Dieu vivant, très-grand et très-haut, qui nous a dirigés nous et nos ancêtres pour mettre notre royaume en la situation la plus florissante. En conséquence, vous agirez bien en n’exécutant pas l’édit que vous a envoyé Aman, fils d’Amadathe; car, pour ce qu’il a fait, il a été pendu avec toute sa famille devant les portes de Suse; Dieu lui - même, le maître de toutes choses, l’a promptement rétribué selon son mérite. Que la présente copie de lettre soit affichée en tout lieu, assurant aux Juifs la liberté de suivre leurs lois et d’user de leurs richesses; qu’au temps marqué pour leur affliction, le treize du douzième mois, du mois d’adar, ils puissent se défendre eux-mêmes contre ceux qui les attaqueraient. Car Dieu, maître de toutes choses, a changé en un jour de joie le jour où devait périr la race qu’il a choisie; et vous-mêmes, vous le rangerez parmi vos fêtes solennelles, et vous le célébrerez par des festins universels; afin que, dès maintenant et à l’avenir, ce soit un jour de délivrance tant pour nous que pour les amis des Perses, et que, pour ceux qui conspirent contre nous, ce jour soit un mémorial de destruction. Toute ville ou province qui désobéira aux présentes prescriptions, ressentira ma colère, et périra par le fer et la flamme; il ne suffira pas qu’elle devienne Inaccessible aux hommes, les bêtes fauves et les oiseaux la haïront à jamais. Et que l’on affiche cette copte en des places apparentes dans tout le royaume, et que, le jour indiqué, les Juifs se tiennent prêts à combattre leurs ennemis.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Vous donc, écrivez au nom du roi à l'égard des Juifs ce qui vous paraîtra bon, et scellez-le avec l'anneau du roi. Car un écrit qui a été écrit au nom du roi et scellé avec l'anneau du roi ne peut être révoqué. ⁹ Et les scribes du roi furent appelés en ce temps-là, au troisième mois, qui est le mois de Sivan, le vingt-troisième jour du mois; et, selon tout ce que Mardochée commanda, on écrivit aux Juifs, et aux satrapes, et aux gouverneurs, et aux chefs des provinces, depuis l'Inde jusqu'à l'Éthiopie, cent vingt-sept provinces, à chaque province selon son écriture, et à chaque peuple selon sa langue, et aux Juifs selon leur écriture et selon leur langue. ¹⁰ Et Mardochée écrivit au nom du roi Assuérus et scella avec l'anneau du roi; et il envoya des lettres par des courriers à cheval, montés sur des coursiers, des chevaux de race, produits des haras. ¹¹ Ces lettres portaient que le roi accordait aux Juifs, dans chaque ville, de s'assembler et de se mettre en défense pour leur vie, et de détruire, tuer, et faire périr toute force du peuple et de la province qui les opprimerait, -eux et leurs enfants et leurs femmes, et de mettre au pillage leurs biens, ¹² en un même jour, dans toutes les provinces du roi Assuérus, le treizième jour du douzième mois, qui est le mois d'Adar. ¹³ Pour que l'édit fût rendu public dans chaque province, une copie de l'écrit fut portée à la connaissance de tous les peuples, afin que les Juifs fussent prêts pour ce jour-là, pour se venger de leurs ennemis.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Ecrivez donc en faveur des Juifs comme il vous plaira, au nom du roi, et scellez avec l'anneau du roi; car une lettre écrite au nom du roi et scellée avec l'anneau du roi ne peut être révoquée. ⁹ Les secrétaires du roi furent appelés en ce temps, le vingt-troisième jour du troisième mois, qui est le mois de Sivan, et l'on écrivit, suivant tout ce qui fut ordonné par Mardochée, aux Juifs, aux satrapes, aux gouverneurs et aux chefs des cent vingt-sept provinces situées de l'Inde à l'Ethiopie, à chaque province selon son écriture, à chaque peuple selon sa langue, et aux Juifs selon leur écriture et selon leur langue. ¹⁰ On écrivit au nom du roi Assuérus, et l'on scella avec l'anneau du roi. On envoya les lettres par des courriers ayant pour montures des chevaux et des mulets nés de juments. ¹¹ Par ces lettres, le roi donnait aux Juifs, en quelque ville qu'ils fussent, la permission de se rassembler et de défendre leur vie, de détruire, de tuer et de faire périr, avec leurs petits enfants et leurs femmes, tous ceux de chaque peuple et de chaque province qui prendraient les armes pour les attaquer, et de livrer leurs biens au pillage, ¹² et cela en un seul jour, dans toutes les provinces du roi Assuérus, le treizième du douzième mois, qui est le mois d'Adar. ¹³ Ces lettres renfermaient une copie de l'édit qui devait être publié dans chaque province, et informaient tous les peuples que les Juifs se tiendraient prêts pour ce jour-là à se venger de leurs ennemis.

[12d] Oni ne samo da iskorjenjuju osjećaj harnosti nego, zaneseni nadutošću onih koji ne znaju za dobro, umišljaju da će umaknuti Bogu koji sve vidi i pravdi koja mrzi zlo. [12e] Često i mnogi od onih koji su na vlasti, kad upravu državnih poslova povjere prijateljima, pod njihovim utjecajem postanu sukrivci nevine krvi i zapletu se u nepopravljive nevolje: [12f] smicalice,licemjerje i pokvarenosti izigraju čestitu dobronamjernost upravljača. [12g] To se može vidjeti ne toliko iz starijih povijesti koje su do nas doprle: istražite samo kolike je zločine pred našim očima počinila opakost nedostojnih vladara. [12h] Zato ćemo se ubuduće truditi da svim ljudima damo mirno i spokojno kraljevstvo. [12i] Uvest ćemo promjene, a što nam se na uvid podastre prosuđivat ćemo s najdobrohotnijom susretljivošću. [12k]Tako smo Hamana, sina Hamdatina, Makedonca, koji je doista stran krvi Perzijanaca i jako daleko od naše naklonosti, primili kao gosta, [12l] a on se toliko okoristio dobrohotnošću koju gajimo prema svakom narodu da je bio nazvan našim ocem i bio poštovan od svih jer je zauzimao drugo mjesto, najbliže kraljevskom prijestolju. [12m] Ali ne znajući obuzdati svoju oholost, smisli kako bi nas lišio kraljevstva i života, [12n] tražeći da mnogovrsnim spletkama uništi Mordokaja, našeg spasitelja i trajnog dobročinitelja, i našu neporočnu družicu kraljevstva, Esteru, sa svim njihovim narodom. [12o] Mislio je da će nas tako osamljene zaskočiti i prenijeti vlast Perzijanaca u ruke Makedonaca. [12p] Ali smo mi utvrdili da Židovi koje je taj zlikovac naumio zatrti ne samo da nisu zlotvori nego su, upravljani najpravednijim zakonima, [12q] sinovi Najvišega, Najvećega, živoga Boga koji čuva nama, kao i našim djedovima, carstvo u najboljem redu. [12r] Učinit ćete, dakle, dobro ne budete li se poslužili pismima koja je uputio Haman, Hamdatov sin, jer je on, tvorac toga zločina, već obješen sa svom obitelji pred vratima Suze: Bog, koji vlada nad svime, smjesta mu je dosudio zasluženu kaznu. [12s] Izloživši na svakom mjestu prijepis ove naredbe, pustite da se Židovi služe slobodno svojim zakonima. Pomognite im da uzmognu s uspjehom odbiti od sebe one koji bi ih napali u času nevolje trinaestoga dana dvanaestoga mjeseca, mjeseca Adara, jer je baš to dan [12t] u koji je Bog, gospodar svega, izabranom narodu donio radost mjesto uništenja. [12u] Zato i vi među svojim spomen-blagdanima svetkujte u svoj svečanosti ovaj osobiti dan da bi sada i ubuduće bio vama i Perzijancima dobre volje na spas, a našim neprijateljima spomen na propast. [12v] Svaki grad ili uopće pokrajina koja se ovoga ne bude pridržavala bit će nesmiljeno kopljem i ognjem uništena: postat će ne samo ljudima nepristupačna nego i zvijerima i pticama zauvijek mrska." ¹³ Prijepis pisma, koje je imalo postati zakonom u svakoj pokrajini, bijaše objavljen među svim narodima, kako bi Židovi toga dana bili spremni osvetiti se svojim neprijateljima.

Namun, kalian kuizinkan menulis surat tentang bangsa Yahudi, apa saja yang kalian pandang baik.

Surat-surat itu ditulis dalam bahasa dan tulisan provinsi-provinsi itu masing-masing. Ia juga mengirim surat itu kepada orang Yahudi dalam bahasa dan tulisan Yahudi. ¹⁰ Surat-surat itu ditandatangani Mordekhai atas nama Raja Ahasyweros dan dibubuhi dengan cap kerajaan. Lalu Mordekhai menyuruh utusan-utusan mengantarkan surat-surat itu ke provinsi-provinsi kerajaan dengan menunggang kuda-kuda cepat milik raja. ¹¹ Surat-surat itu menyatakan bahwa raja mengizinkan orang Yahudi di setiap kota untuk bersatu dan membela diri. Apabila mereka diserang oleh orang-orang bersenjata dari bangsa dan provinsi mana pun, mereka boleh melawan dan membunuh para penyerang itu beserta istri dan anak-anaknya; mereka boleh membantai musuh-musuhnya itu sampai habis serta merampas harta bendanya. ¹² Perintah itu harus dilaksanakan di seluruh kerajaan Persia pada hari yang telah ditetapkan oleh Haman untuk membunuh orang-orang Yahudi, pada tanggal tiga belas bulan dua belas, bulan Adar. ¹³ Surat perintah itu harus dikeluarkan sebagai undang-undang dan disiarkan kepada semua orang di semua provinsi supaya bangsa Yahudi siap siaga melawan musuhnya apabila hari itu tiba.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Or voi scrivete lettere a’ Giudei, nella maniera che vi parrà meglio, a nome del re; e suggellatele con l’anello del re; perciocchè quello ch’è scritto a nome del re, ed è suggellato col suo anello, non si può rivocare. ⁹ Ed in quell’istesso tempo, al ventesimoterzo giorno del terzo mese, che è il mese di Sivan, furono scritte lettere, interamente come ordinò Mardocheo, ai Giudei, ed a’ satrapi, ed a’ governatori, ed a’ principi delle provincie, ch’erano dall’India fino in Etiopia, in numero di cenventisette provincie; a ciascuna provincia, secondo la sua maniera di scrivere, e a ciascun popolo, secondo il suo linguaggio; ed a’ Giudei, secondo la lor maniera di scrivere, e secondo il lor linguaggio. ¹⁰ Mardocheo adunque scrisse lettere a nome del re Assuero, e le suggellò con l’anello del re, e le mandò per corrieri a cavallo, che cavalcano dromedari, muli corsieri, nati di cavalle; ¹¹ il cui tenore era: Che il re concedeva ai Giudei ch’erano in ciascuna città, di raunarsi, e di stare alla difesa della lor vita, per distruggere, per uccidere, e per isterminare ogni moltitudine di gente armata di qualunque popolo, o provincia, che li assalisse; insieme co’ piccoli figliuoli, e le mogli; e per predar le loro spoglie; ¹² e ciò in un medesimo giorno, per tutte le provincie del re Assuero, cioè, nel tredicesimo giorno del duodecimo mese, che è il mese di Adar. ¹³ In quelle lettere si conteneva ancora, che si bandisse un decreto per ciascuna provincia, sì che fosse palese a tutti i popoli: Che i Giudei stessero presti per quel giorno, per vendicarsi de’ lor nemici.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Scrivete dunque, a pro de’ Giudei, come vi parrà meglio, nel nome del re, e suggellate coll’anello reale; perché ciò ch’è scritto in nome del re e sigillato con l’anello reale, è irrevocabile?" ⁹ Senza perder tempo, il ventitreesimo giorno del terzo mese, ch’è il mese di Sivan, furon chiamati i segretari del re e fu scritto, seguendo in tutto l’ordine di Mardocheo, ai Giudei, ai satrapi, ai governatori e ai capi delle centoventisette province, dall’India all’Etiopia, a ogni provincia secondo il suo modo di scrivere, a ogni popolo nella sua lingua, e ai Giudei secondo il loro modo di scrivere e nella loro lingua. ¹⁰ Fu dunque scritto in nome del re Assuero, si sigillaron le lettere con l’anello reale, e le si mandarono per mezzo di corrieri che cavalcavano veloci corsieri usati per il servizio del re, nati da stalloni reali. ¹¹ In esse il re permetteva ai Giudei, in qualunque città si trovassero, di radunarsi e di difendere la loro vita, di distruggere, uccidere, sterminare, non esclusi i bambini e le donne, tutta la gente armata, di qualunque popolo e di qualunque provincia si fosse, che li assalisse, e di abbandonare al saccheggio i suoi beni; ¹² e ciò, in un medesimo giorno, in tutte le province del re Assuero: il tredici del dodicesimo mese, ch’è il mese di Adar. ¹³ Queste lettere contenevano una copia dell’editto che doveva esser bandito in ogni provincia e pubblicato fra tutti i popoli, perché i Giudei si tenessero pronti per quel giorno a vendicarsi dei loro nemici.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Parašykite žydams karaliaus vardu, kaip jums patinka, ir užantspauduokite raštus karaliaus žiedu; nes įsakymai, parašyti karaliaus vardu ir užantspauduoti jo žiedu, yra neatšaukiami”. ⁹ Trečio mėnesio, vadinamo sivanu, dvidešimt trečią dieną buvo sušaukti karaliaus raštininkai ir parašyta tai, ką Mordechajas įsakė visiems žydams, karaliaus vietininkams, valdytojams bei kunigaikščiams nuo Indijos iki Etiopijos, šimtui dvidešimt septyniems kraštams jų raštu ir tautoms jų kalba, taip pat ir žydams jų raštu ir jų kalba. ¹⁰ Raštai buvo užantspauduoti karaliaus Ahasvero žiedu ir išsiųsti per raitus karaliaus pasiuntinius. ¹¹ Karalius leido žydams kiekviename mieste susirinkti ir ginti savo gyvybes, sunaikinti, užmušti ir pražudyti bet kokią žmonių ar krašto galybę, kurie puola juos, kartu su jų vaikais bei moterimis, o jų turtą pasiimti. ¹² Dvylikto mėnesio, vadinamo adaru, tryliktą dieną buvo įsakyta gintis visuose karaliaus Ahasvero kraštuose. ¹³ Rašto su įsakymu nuorašai buvo pasiųsti į visus kraštus ir paskelbti visoms tautoms, kad žydai pasiruoštų ir tą dieną atkeršytų savo priešams.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Wy tedy piszcie do Żydów, jako się wam podoba, imieniem królewskiem, i zapieczętujcie pierścieniem królewskim; albowiem to, co się pisze imieniem królewskiem, i pieczętuje się pierścieniem królewskim, nie może być odwołane. ⁹ A tak zwołano pisarzy królewskich onego czasu, miesiąca trzeciego, (ten jest miesiąc Sywan) dwudziestego i trzeciego dnia tegoż miesiąca, a pisano wszystko, jako rozkazał Mardocheusz, do Żydów i do książąt, i do starostów, i do przełożonych nad krain a mi, którzy są od Indyi aż do Murzyńskiej ziemi nad stem dwudziestą i siedmią krain, do każdej krainy pismem jej, i do każdego narodu językiem jego, i do Żydów pismen ich i językiem ich. ¹⁰ A gdy napisał imieniem króla Aswerusa, i zapieczętował pierścieniem królewskim, rozesłał listy przez posłów, którzy jeżdżali na koniach prędkich, i na mułach młodych: ¹¹ Iż król dał wolność Żydom, którzy byli we wszystkich miastach, aby się zgromadzili, a zastawiali się o duszę swoję, a żeby wytracili, wymordowali, i wygubili wszystkie wojska ludu onego, i krain tych, którzyby im gwałt czynili, dziatkom ich, i żon om ich, a łupy ich żeby rozchwycili; ¹² A to jednego dnia po wszystkich krainach króla Aswerusa, to jest trzynastego dnia, miesiąca dwunastego, ten jest miesiąc Adar. ¹³ Suma tych listów była: Żeby wydano wyrok w każdej krainie, i oznajmiono wszystkim narodom, aby byli Żydzi gotowi na on dzień ku pomście nad nieprzyjaciołmi swymi.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Escrevei vós também a respeito dos judeus, em nome do rei, como vos parecer bem, e selai-o com o anel do rei; pois um documento escrito em nome do rei e selado com o anel do rei não se pode revogar. ⁹ Então foram chamados os secretários do rei naquele mesmo tempo, no terceiro mês, que é o mês de sivan, no vigésimo terceiro dia; e se escreveu conforme tudo quanto Mardoqueu ordenou a respeito dos judeus, aos sátrapas, aos governadores e aos príncipes das províncias, que se estendem da Índia até a Etiópia, cento e vinte e sete províncias, a cada província segundo o seu modo de escrever, e a cada povo conforme a sua língua; como também aos judeus segundo o seu modo de escrever e conforme a tua língua. ¹⁰ Mardoqueu escreveu as cartas em nome do rei Assuero e, selando-as com anel do rei, enviou-as pela mão dos correios montados, que cavalgavam sobre ginetes que se usavam no serviço real e que eram da coudelaria do rei. ¹¹ Nestas cartas o rei concedia aos judeus que havia em cada cidade que se reunissem e se dispusessem para defenderem as suas vidas, e para destruírem, matarem e exterminarem todas as forças do povo e da província que os quisessem assaltar, juntamente com os seus pequeninos e as suas mulheres, e que saqueassem os seus bens, ¹² num mesmo dia, em todas as províncias do rei Assuero, do dia treze do duodécimo mês, que é o mês de adar. ¹³ E uma cópia da carta, que seria divulgada como decreto em todas as províncias, foi publicada entre todos os povos, para que os judeus estivessem preparados para aquele dia, a fim de se vingarem de seus inimigos.

For en skrivelse som er utferdiget i kongens navn og forseglet med kongens signetring, kan ikke tilbakekalles. ⁹ Så blev da straks kongens skrivere kalt sammen på den tre og tyvende dag i den tredje måned - det er måneden sivan - og det blev skrevet aldeles som Mordekai bød, til jødene og til stattholderne og landshøvdingene og landskapenes fyrster fra India like til Etiopia, hundre og syv og tyve landskaper, til hvert landskap i dets skrift og til hvert folk på dets tungemål, også til jødene i deres skrift og på deres tungemål. ¹⁰ Han skrev i kong Ahasverus' navn og forseglet med kongens signetring.

Căci o scrisoare scrisă în numele împăratului şi pecetluită cu inelul împăratului nu poate fi desfiinţată.`` ⁹ Logofeţii împăratului au fost chemaţi în vremea aceea, în a douăzeci şi treia zi a lunii a treia, adică luna Sivan, şi au scris, după tot ce a poruncit Mardoheu, Iudeilor, căpeteniilor oştirii, dregătorilor şi mai marilor celor o sută douăzeci şi şapte de ţinuturi aşezate de la India la Etiopia, fiecărui ţinut după scrierea lui, fiecărui popor după limba lui, şi Iudeilor după scrierea şi limba lor. ¹⁰ Au scris în numele împăratului Ahaşveroş, şi au pecetluit cu inelul împăratului. Au trimes scrisorile prin alergători, călări pe cai şi catîri născuţi din iepe. ¹¹ Prin aceste scrisori, împăratul dădea voie Iudeilor, ori în care cetate ar fi fost, să se adune şi să-şi apere viaţa, să nimicească, să omoare şi să peardă, împreună cu pruncii şi femeile lor, pe toţi aceia din fiecare popor şi din fiecare ţinut cari ar lua armele să -i lovească, şi să le prădeze averile. ¹² Aceasta să se facă într'o singură zi, în toate ţinuturile împăratului Ahaşveroş, şi anume în a treisprezecea zi a lunii a douăsprezecea, adică luna Adar. ¹³ Aceste scrisori cuprindeau hotărîrea care trebuia vestită în fiecare ţinut, şi dădeau de ştire tuturor popoarelor că Iudeii stau gata pentru ziua aceea ca să se răzbune pe vrăjmaşii lor.
