Esther - Chapter: 9


9:1	Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
9:2	The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
9:3	And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
9:4	For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
9:5	Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
9:6	And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
9:7	And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
9:8	And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9:9	And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
9:10	The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
9:11	On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
9:12	And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
9:13	Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
9:14	And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
9:15	For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
9:16	But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
9:17	On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
9:18	But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
9:19	Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
9:20	And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
9:21	To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
9:22	As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
9:23	And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
9:24	Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
9:25	But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
9:26	Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
9:27	The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
9:28	And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
9:29	Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
9:30	And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
9:31	To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
9:32	And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.


9:1	ובשׁנים עשׂר חדשׁ הוא חדשׁ אדר בשׁלושׁה עשׂר יום בו אשׁר הגיע דבר המלך ודתו להעשׂות ביום אשׁר שׂברו איבי היהודים לשׁלוט בהם ונהפוך הוא אשׁר ישׁלטו היהודים המה בשׂנאיהם׃
9:2	נקהלו היהודים בעריהם בכל מדינות המלך אחשׁורושׁ לשׁלח יד במבקשׁי רעתם ואישׁ לא עמד לפניהם כי נפל פחדם על כל העמים׃
9:3	וכל שׂרי המדינות והאחשׁדרפנים והפחות ועשׂי המלאכה אשׁר למלך מנשׂאים את היהודים כי נפל פחד מרדכי עליהם׃
9:4	כי גדול מרדכי בבית המלך ושׁמעו הולך בכל המדינות כי האישׁ מרדכי הולך וגדול׃
9:5	ויכו היהודים בכל איביהם מכת חרב והרג ואבדן ויעשׂו בשׂנאיהם כרצונם׃
9:6	ובשׁושׁן הבירה הרגו היהודים ואבד חמשׁ מאות אישׁ׃
9:7	ואת פרשׁנדתא ואת דלפון ואת אספתא׃
9:8	ואת פורתא ואת אדליא ואת ארידתא׃
9:9	ואת פרמשׁתא ואת אריסי ואת ארידי ואת ויזתא׃
9:10	עשׂרת בני המן בן המדתא צרר היהודים הרגו ובבזה לא שׁלחו את ידם׃
9:11	ביום ההוא בא מספר ההרוגים בשׁושׁן הבירה לפני המלך׃
9:12	ויאמר המלך לאסתר המלכה בשׁושׁן הבירה הרגו היהודים ואבד חמשׁ מאות אישׁ ואת עשׂרת בני המן בשׁאר מדינות המלך מה עשׂו ומה שׁאלתך וינתן לך ומה בקשׁתך עוד ותעשׂ׃
9:13	ותאמר אסתר אם על המלך טוב ינתן גם מחר ליהודים אשׁר בשׁושׁן לעשׂות כדת היום ואת עשׂרת בני המן יתלו על העץ׃
9:14	ויאמר המלך להעשׂות כן ותנתן דת בשׁושׁן ואת עשׂרת בני המן תלו׃
9:15	ויקהלו היהודיים אשׁר בשׁושׁן גם ביום ארבעה עשׂר לחדשׁ אדר ויהרגו בשׁושׁן שׁלשׁ מאות אישׁ ובבזה לא שׁלחו את ידם׃
9:16	ושׁאר היהודים אשׁר במדינות המלך נקהלו ועמד על נפשׁם ונוח מאיביהם והרוג בשׂנאיהם חמשׁה ושׁבעים אלף ובבזה לא שׁלחו את ידם׃
9:17	ביום שׁלושׁה עשׂר לחדשׁ אדר ונוח בארבעה עשׂר בו ועשׂה אתו יום משׁתה ושׂמחה׃
9:18	והיהודיים אשׁר בשׁושׁן נקהלו בשׁלושׁה עשׂר בו ובארבעה עשׂר בו ונוח בחמשׁה עשׂר בו ועשׂה אתו יום משׁתה ושׂמחה׃
9:19	על כן היהודים הפרוזים הישׁבים בערי הפרזות עשׂים את יום ארבעה עשׂר לחדשׁ אדר שׂמחה ומשׁתה ויום טוב ומשׁלוח מנות אישׁ לרעהו׃
9:20	ויכתב מרדכי את הדברים האלה וישׁלח ספרים אל כל היהודים אשׁר בכל מדינות המלך אחשׁורושׁ הקרובים והרחוקים׃
9:21	לקים עליהם להיות עשׂים את יום ארבעה עשׂר לחדשׁ אדר ואת יום חמשׁה עשׂר בו בכל שׁנה ושׁנה׃
9:22	כימים אשׁר נחו בהם היהודים מאיביהם והחדשׁ אשׁר נהפך להם מיגון לשׂמחה ומאבל ליום טוב לעשׂות אותם ימי משׁתה ושׂמחה ומשׁלח מנות אישׁ לרעהו ומתנות לאבינים׃
9:23	וקבל היהודים את אשׁר החלו לעשׂות ואת אשׁר כתב מרדכי אליהם׃
9:24	כי המן בן המדתא האגגי צרר כל היהודים חשׁב על היהודים לאבדם והפל פור הוא הגורל להמם ולאבדם׃
9:25	ובבאה לפני המלך אמר עם הספר ישׁוב מחשׁבתו הרעה אשׁר חשׁב על היהודים על ראשׁו ותלו אתו ואת בניו על העץ׃
9:26	על כן קראו לימים האלה פורים על שׁם הפור על כן על כל דברי האגרת הזאת ומה ראו על ככה ומה הגיע אליהם׃
9:27	קימו וקבל היהודים עליהם ועל זרעם ועל כל הנלוים עליהם ולא יעבור להיות עשׂים את שׁני הימים האלה ככתבם וכזמנם בכל שׁנה ושׁנה׃
9:28	והימים האלה נזכרים ונעשׂים בכל דור ודור משׁפחה ומשׁפחה מדינה ומדינה ועיר ועיר וימי הפורים האלה לא יעברו מתוך היהודים וזכרם לא יסוף מזרעם׃
9:29	ותכתב אסתר המלכה בת אביחיל ומרדכי היהודי את כל תקף לקים את אגרת הפרים הזאת השׁנית׃
9:30	וישׁלח ספרים אל כל היהודים אל שׁבע ועשׂרים ומאה מדינה מלכות אחשׁורושׁ דברי שׁלום ואמת׃
9:31	לקים את ימי הפרים האלה בזמניהם כאשׁר קים עליהם מרדכי היהודי ואסתר המלכה וכאשׁר קימו על נפשׁם ועל זרעם דברי הצומות וזעקתם׃
9:32	ומאמר אסתר קים דברי הפרים האלה ונכתב בספר׃


9:1	And in the twelfth month -- it `is' the month of Adar -- on the thirteenth day of it, in which the word of the king, even his law, hath come to be done, in the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to rule over them, and it is turned that the Jews rule over those hating them --
9:2	the Jews have been assembled in their cities, in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to put forth a hand on those seeking their evil, and no man hath stood in their presence, for their fear hath fallen on all the peoples.
9:3	And all heads of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the governors, and those doing the work that the king hath, are lifting up the Jews, for a fear of Mordecai hath fallen upon them;
9:4	for great `is' Mordecai in the house of the king, and his fame is going into all the provinces, for the man Mordecai is going on and becoming great.
9:5	And the Jews smite among all their enemies -- a smiting of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction -- and do with those hating them according to their pleasure,
9:6	and in Shushan the palace have the Jews slain and destroyed five hundred men;
9:7	and Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
9:8	and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9:9	and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
9:10	ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, adversary of the Jews, they have slain, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.
9:11	On that day hath come the number of the slain in Shushan the palace before the king,
9:12	and the king saith to Esther the queen, `In Shushan the palace have the Jews slain and destroyed five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman; in the rest of the provinces of the king what have they done? and what `is' thy petition? and it is given to thee; and what thy request again? and it is done.'
9:13	And Esther saith, `If to the king `it be' good, let it be given also to-morrow, to the Jews who `are' in Shushan, to do according to the law of to-day; and the ten sons of Haman they hang on the tree.'
9:14	And the king saith -- `to be done so;' and a law is given in Shushan, and the ten sons of Haman they have hanged.
9:15	And the Jews who `are' in Shushan are assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they slay in Shushan three hundred men, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.
9:16	And the rest of the Jews, who `are' in the provinces of the king, have been assembled, even to stand for their life, and to rest from their enemies, and to slay among those hating them five and seventy thousand, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand;
9:17	on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, even to rest on the fourteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
9:18	And the Jews who `are' in Shushan have been assembled, on the thirteenth day of it, and on the fourteenth of it, even to rest on the fifteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
9:19	Therefore the Jews of the villages, who are dwelling in cities of the villages, are making the fourteenth day of the month of Adar -- joy and banquet, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
9:20	And Mordecai writeth these things, and sendeth letters unto all the Jews who `are' in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus, who are near and who are far off,
9:21	to establish on them, to be keeping the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day of it, in every year and year,
9:22	as days on which the Jews have rested from their enemies, and the month that hath been turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of banquet and of joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the needy.
9:23	And the Jews have received that which they had begun to do, and that which Mordecai hath written unto them,
9:24	because Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of all the Jews, had devised concerning the Jews to destroy them, and had caused to fall Pur -- that `is' the lot -- to crush them and to destroy them;
9:25	and in her coming in before the king, he said with the letter, `Let his evil device that he devised against the Jews turn back upon his own head,' and they have hanged him and his sons on the tree,
9:26	therefore they have called these days Purim -- by the name of the lot -- therefore, because of all the words of this letter, and what they have seen concerning this, and what hath come unto them,
9:27	the Jews have established and received upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all those joined unto them, and it doth not pass away, to be keeping these two days according to their writing, and according to their season, in every year and year;
9:28	and these days are remembered and kept in every generation and generation, family and family, province and province, and city and city, and these days of Purim do not pass away from the midst of the Jews, and their memorial is not ended from their seed.
9:29	And Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, writeth, and Mordecai the Jew, with all might, to establish this second letter of Purim,
9:30	and he sendeth letters unto all the Jews, unto the seven and twenty and a hundred provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus -- words of peace and truth --
9:31	to establish these days of Purim, in their seasons, as Mordecai the Jew hath established on them, and Esther the queen, and as they had established on themselves, and on their seed -- matters of the fastings, and of their cry.
9:32	And a saying of Esther hath established these matters of Purim, and it is written in the Book.
