Esther 9

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 So on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said above is called Adar, when all the Jews were designed to be massacred, and their enemies were greedy after their blood, the case being altered, the Jews began to have the upper hand, and to revenge themselves of their adversaries.	1 وفي الشهر الثاني عشر اي شهر اذار في اليوم الثالث عشر منه حين قرب كلام الملك وأمره من الاجراء في اليوم الذي انتظر فيه اعداء اليهود ان يتسلطوا عليهم فتحول ذلك حتى ان اليهود تسلطوا على مبغضيهم
2 And they gathered themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people.	2 اجتمع اليهود في مدنهم في كل بلاد الملك احشويروش ليمدوا ايديهم الى طالبي اذيتهم فلم يقف احد قدامهم لان رعبهم سقط على جميع الشعوب.
3 And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai:	3 وكل رؤساء البلدان والمرازبة والولاة وعمال الملك ساعدوا اليهود لان رعب مردخاي سقط عليهم.
4 For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men's mouths.	4 لان مردخاي كان عظيما في بيت الملك وسار خبره في كل البلدان لان الرجل مردخاي كان يتزايد عظمة
5 So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them:	5 فضرب اليهود جميع اعدائهم ضربة سيف وقتل وهلاك وعملوا بمبغضيهم ما ارادوا.
6 Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these:	6 وقتل اليهود في شوشن القصر واهلكوا خمس مئة رجل.
7 Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha,	7 وفرشنداثا ودلفون واسفاثا
8 And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,	8 وفوراثا وادليا واريداثا
9 And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha.	9 وفرمشتا واريساي واريداي ويزاثا
10 And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods.	10 عشرة بني هامان بن همداثا عدو اليهود قتلوهم ولكنهم لم يمدوا ايديهم الى النهب
11 And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king.	11 في ذلك اليوم أتي بعدد القتلى في شوشن القصر الى بين يدي الملك.
12 And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to be done?	12 فقال الملك لاستير الملكة في شوشن القصر قد قتل اليهود واهلكوا خمس مئة رجل وبني هامان العشرة فماذا عملوا في باقي بلدان الملك. فما هو سؤلك فيعطى لك وما هي طلبتك بعد فتقضى.
13 And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do to morrow in Susan as they have done to day, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets.	13 فقالت استير ان حسن عند الملك فليعطى غدا ايضا لليهود الذين في شوشن ان يعملوا كما في هذا اليوم ويصلبوا بني هامان العشرة على الخشبة.
14 And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged.	14 فأمر الملك ان يعملوا هكذا واعطي الامر في شوشن. فصلبوا بني هامان العشرة
15 ,15And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance.	15 ثم اجتمع اليهود الذين في شوشن في اليوم الرابع عشر ايضا من شهر اذار وقتلوا في شوشن ثلاث مئة رجل ولكنهم لم يمدوا ايديهم الى النهب.
16 Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king's dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were Billed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods.	16 وباقي اليهود الذين في بلدان الملك اجتمعوا ووقفوا لاجل انفسهم واستراحوا من اعدائهم وقتلوا من مبغضيهم خمسة وسبعين الفا. ولكنهم لم يمدوا ايديهم الى النهب.
17 Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets.	17 في اليوم الثالث عشر من شهر اذار. واستراحوا في اليوم الرابع عشر منه وجعلوه يوم شرب وفرح.
18 But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness.	18 واليهود الذين في شوشن اجتمعوا في الثالث عشر والرابع عشر منه واستراحوا في الخامس عشر وجعلوه يوم شرب وفرح.
19 But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats.	19 لذلك يهود الاعراء الساكنون في مدن الاعراء جعلوا اليوم الرابع عشر من شهر اذار للفرح والشرب ويوما طيبا ولارسال انصبة من كل واحد الى صاحبه
20 And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king's provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off,	20 وكتب مردخاي هذه الأمور وارسل رسائل الى جميع اليهود الذين في كل بلدان الملك احشويروش القريبين والبعيدين
21 ,21That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour:	21 ليوجب عليهم ان يعيّدوا في اليوم الرابع عشر من شهر اذار واليوم الخامس عشر منه في كل سنة
22 Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats; and should give gifts to the poor.	22 حسب الايام التي استراح فيها اليهود من اعدائهم والشهر الذي تحول عندهم من حزن الى فرح ومن نوح الى يوم طيب ليجعلوها ايام شرب وفرح وارسال انصبة من كل واحد الى صاحبه وعطايا للفقراء.
23 And the Jews undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done.	23 فقبل اليهود ما ابتدأوا يعملونه وما كتبه مردخاي اليهم.
24 For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them: and had cast Phur, that is, the lot.	24 ولان هامان بن همداثا الاجاجي عدو اليهود جميعا تفكر على اليهود ليبيدهم والقى فورا اي قرعة لافنائهم وابادتهم.
25 And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king's letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets.	25 وعند دخولها الى امام الملك أمر بكتابة ان يرد تدبيره الرديء الذي دبّره ضد اليهود على راسه وان يصلبوه هو وبنيه على الخشبة.
26 And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book:	26 لذلك دعوا تلك الايام فوريم على اسم الفور. لذلك من اجل جميع كلمات هذه الرسالة وما راوه من ذلك وما اصابهم
27 And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.	27 اوجب اليهود وقبلوا على انفسهم وعلى نسلهم وعلى جميع الذين يلتصقون بهم حتى لا يزول ان يعيّدوا هذين اليومين حسب كتابتهما وحسب اوقاتهما كل سنة
28 These are the days which shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound to these ceremonies.	28 وان يذكر هذان اليومان ويحفظا في دور فدور وعشيرة فعشيرة وبلاد فبلاد ومدينة فمدينة ويوما الفور هذان لا يزولان من وسط اليهود وذكرهما لا يفني من نسلهم
29 And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come.	29 وكتبت استير الملكة بنت ابيجائل ومردخاي اليهودي بكل سلطان بايجاب رسالة الفوريم هذه ثانية.
30 And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive truth,	30 وارسل الكتابات الى جميع اليهود الى كور مملكة احشويروش المئة والسبع والعشرين بكلام سلام وامانة
31 And observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy in their proper time: as Mardochai and Esther had appointed, and they undertook them to be observed by themselves and by their seed, fasts, and cries, and the days of lots,	31 لإيجاب يومي الفوريم هذين في اوقاتهما كما اوجب عليهم مردخاي اليهودي واستير الملكة وكما اوجبوا على انفسهم وعلى نسلهم امور الاصوام وصراخهم.
32 And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.	32 وأمر استير اوجب امور الفوريم هذه فكتبت في السفر
