Chapter 1	Главa №

1	1
In the second year of the reign of Artaxerxes the great king, on the first day of Nisan, Mardochæus the son of Jairus, the son of Semeias, the son of Cisæus, of the tribe of Benjamin,	И# бhсть по словесёхъ си1хъ во днeхъ ґртаxeрxа: сeй ґртаxрxъ t їндjи њбладaше сто2 двaдесzть седмію2 странaми (дaже до є3fі0піи):
1b
a Jew dwelling in the city Susa, a great man, serving in the king's palace, saw a vision.
1c
Now he was of the captivity which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried captive from Jerusalem, with Jechonias the king of Judea.
1d
And this was his dream: Behold, voices and a noise, thunders and earthquake, tumult upon the earth.
1e
And, behold, two great serpents came forth, both ready for conflict, and there came from them a great voice,
1f
and by their voice every nation was prepared for battle, even to fight against the nation of the just.
1g
And, behold, a day of darkness and blackness, tribulation and anguish, affliction and great tumult upon the earth.
1h
And all the righteous nation was troubled, fearing their own afflictions; and they prepared to die, and cried to God:
1i
and from their cry there came as it were a great river from a little fountain, even much water.
1k
And light and the sun arose, and the lowly were exalted, and devoured the honourable.
1l
And Mardochæus who had seen this vision and what God designed to do, having awoke, kept it in his heart, and desired by all means to interpret it, even till night.
1m
And Mardochæus rested quiet in the palace with Gabatha and Tharrha the king's two chamberlains, eunuchs who guarded the palace.
1n
And he heard their reasonings and searched out their plans, and learnt that they were preparing to lay hands on king Artaxerxes: and he informed the king concerning them.
1o
And the king examined the two chamberlains, and they confessed, and were executed.
1p
And the king wrote these things for a memorial; also Mardochæus wrote concerning these matters.
1q
And the king commanded Mardochæus to attend in the palace, and gave him gifts for this service.
1r
And Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugæan was honourable in the sight of the king, and he endeavoured to hurt Mardochæus and his people, because of the two chamberlains of the king.
1s
And it came to pass after these things in the days of Artaxerxes,—(this Artaxerxes ruled over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces from India)—
2	2
in those days, when king Artaxerxes was on the throne in the city of Susa,	во дни6 же ты6z, є3гдA сёде на прест0лэ цaрь ґртаxeрxъ въ сyсэхъ грaдэ,
3	3
in the third year of his reign, he made a feast to his friends, and the other nations, and to the nobles of the Persians and Medes, and the chief of the satraps.	въ трeтіе лёто цaрства своегw2, сотвори2 пи1ръ другHмъ и3 пр0чымъ kзhкwмъ, и3 пє1рсскимъ и3 ми6дскимъ сл†внымъ, и3 нач†лнымъ сатрaиwмъ,
4	4
And after this, after he had shewn to them the wealth of his kingdom, and the abundant glory of his wealth during a hundred and eighty days,	и3 по си1хъ, є3гдA показA и5мъ богaтство цaрства своегw2 и3 слaву весeліz своегw2, во сто2 џсмьдесzтъ днjй.
5	5
when, I say, the days of the marriage feast were completed, the king made a banquet to the nations who were present in the city six days, in the court of the king's house,	И# є3гдA и3сп0лнишасz днjе пи1ра, сотвори2 цaрь пи1ршество kзhкwмъ њбрётшымсz во грaдэ (сyсэхъ) на днjй шeсть во дворЁ д0му царeва,
6	6
which was adorned with hangings of fine linen and flax on cords of fine linen and purple, fastened to golden and silver studs, on pillars of Parian marble and stone: there were golden and silver couches on a pavement of emerald stone, and of pearl, and of Parian stone, and open-worked coverings variously flowered, having roses worked round about;	ўкрaшеннэмъ вmсс0нными и3 зелeиыми завёсами, простeртыми на ќжахъ вmсс0нныхъ и3 червлени1чныхъ, на к0лцахъ златhхъ и3 срeбрzныхъ, на столпёхъ мрaморныхъ и3 кaменныхъ:
7	7
gold and silver cups, and a small cup of carbuncle set out of the value of thirty thousand talents, abundant and sweet wine, which the king himself drank.	лHжа зл†та и3 срє1брzна, на пом0стэ кaмене смарaгдова, и3 піннjнска и3 парjнска мрaмора, и3 плащани6цы пестротaми разли1чными разцвёчєны, w4крестъ шипцы2 разсёzни:
8	8
And this banquet was not according to the appointed law; but so the king would have it: and he charged the stewards to perform his will and that of the company.	сосyди злaти и3 срeбрzни, и3 чaша ґнfрaxа (кaмене) предложeннаz, цэн0ю тал†нтъ три1десzть тhсzщъ: віно2 мн0го и3 слaдко, є4же сaмъ цaрь піsше: питіe же сіE не по ўстaвленному зак0ну бhсть, тaкw бо восхотЁ цaрь и3 заповёда їкон0мwмъ сотвори1ти в0лю свою2 и3 мужeй.
9	9
Also Astin the queen made a banquet for the women in the palace where king Artaxerxes dwelt.	И# ґстjнь цари1ца сотвори2 пи1ръ женaмъ въ домY царeвэ, и3дёже цaрь ґртаxeрxъ.
10	10
Now on the seventh day the king, being merry, told Aman, and Bazan, and Tharrha, and Barazi, and Zatholtha, and Abataza, and Tharaba, the seven chamberlains, servants of king Artaxerxes,	Въ дeнь же седмhй развесели1всz цaрь, речE ґмaну и3 вазaну, и3 faррэ и3 варaзу, и3 заfолfaну и3 ґватaзу и3 fарaву, седми1мъ є3vнyхwмъ, и5же служaху пред8 царeмъ ґртаxeрxомъ,
11	11
to bring in the queen to him, to enthrone her, and crown her with the diadem, and to shew her to the princes, and her beauty to the nations: for she was beautiful.	привести2 (ґстjнь) цари1цу пред8 нег0, є4же воцари1ти ю5 и3 возложи1ти на ню2 вэнeцъ цaрскій и3 показaти ю5 всBмъ начaлствующымъ и3 kзhкwмъ красотY є3S, занE прекрaсна бЁ.
12	12
But queen Astin hearkened not to him to come with the chamberlains: so the king was grieved and angered.	И# не послyша є3гw2 ґстjнь цари1ца пріити2 со є3vн{хи.
13	13
And he said to his friends, Thus has Astin spoken: pronounce therefore upon this case law and judgment.	И# њпечaлисz цaрь, и3 разгнёвасz, и3 речE бли6жнимъ свои6мъ: си1це речE ґстjнь: сотвори1те u5бо њ сeмъ зак0нъ и3 сyдъ.
14	14
So Arkesæus, and Sarsathæus, and Malisear, the princes of the Persians and Medes, who were near the king, who sat chief in rank by the king, drew near to him,	И# приступи1ша къ немY ґркесeй и3 сарсоfeй и3 малисеaръ, нач†лницы пeрсстіи и3 ми1дстіи, и5же бли1з8 царS, пeрвіи сэдsщіи при цари2,
15	15
and reported to him according to the laws how it was proper to do to queen Astin, because she had not done the things commanded of the king by the chamberlains.	и3 возвэсти1ша є3мY по зак0нwмъ, кaкw подобaетъ сотвори1ти цари1цэ ґстjни, ћкw не сотвори2 повелённыхъ t царS чрез8 є3vнyхи.
16	16
And Muchæus said to the king and to the princes, Queen Astin has not wronged the king only, but also all the king's rulers and princes:	И# речE мухeй ко царю2 и3 къ болsрwмъ: не царS є3ди1наго њби1дэ ґстjнь цари1ца, но и3 вс‰ кн‰зи и3 начaлники царє1вы,
17	17
for he has told them the words of the queen, and how she disobeyed the king. As then, said he, she refused to obey king Artaxerxes,	и4бо повёда и3мъ словесA цари1цы, и3 кaкw противоречE царю2:
18	18
so this day shall the other ladies of the chiefs of the Persians and Medes, having heard what she said to the king, dare in the same way to dishonour their husbands.	ћкоже ўбw проти1внw речE царю2 ґртаxeрxу, си1це и3 днeсь госпwжи2 жєны2 пр0чыz кнzзeй пeрсскихъ и3 ми1дскихъ, ўслhшавшz царю2 речє1ннаz t неS, дерзнyтъ тaкожде безчeствовати мужeи свои1хъ:
19	19
If then it seem good to the king, let him make a royal decree, and let it be written according to the laws of the Medes and Persians, and let him not alter it: and let not the queen come in to him any more; and let the king give her royalty to a woman better than she.	ѓще u5бо ўг0дно царю2, да повели1тъ цaрскимъ повелёніемъ, и3 да напи1шетсz по зак0нwмъ ми6дскимъ и3 пє1рсскимъ, и3 и4накw да не бyдетъ, нижE да вни1детъ ктомY цари1ца къ немY, и3 цaрство є3S да предaстъ цaрь женЁ лyчшей є3S:
20	20
And let the law of the king which he shall have made, be widely proclaimed, in his kingdom: and so shall all the women give honour to their husbands, from the poor even to the rich.	и3 да бyдетъ ўслышанъ зак0нъ, и4же t царS, є3г0же сотвори1тъ во цaрствіи своeмъ, и3 си1це вс‰ жєны2 возложaтъ чeсть на мyжы сво‰ t богaта дaже до ўб0га.
21	21
And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did as Muchæus had said,	И# ўг0дно бhсть сл0во пред8 царeмъ и3 нач†лники, и3 сотвори2 цaрь, ћкоже речE є3мY мухeй,
22	22
and sent into all his kingdom through the several provinces, according to their language, in order that men might be feared in their own houses.	и3 послA цaрь кни6ги во всE цaрство по странaмъ по љзhку и4хъ, да бyдетъ стрaхъ и5мъ въ жили1щихъ и4хъ.
Chapter 2	Главa в7

1	1
And after this the king's anger was pacified, and he no more mentioned Astin, bearing in mind what she had said, and how he had condemned her.	И# по словесёхъ си1хъ ўтоли1сz цaрь t гнёва, и3 не воспомzнY ктомY ґстjни, воспоминaz, є3ли6ка глаг0ла и3 кaкw њсуди2 є3S.
2	2
Then the servants of the king said, Let there be sought for the king chaste and beautiful young virgins.	И# рёша слуги6 царє1вы: да и3зhщутсz царю2 дэви6цы нерастлBнны, красны6 зрaкомъ, и3 да постaвитъ цaрь взыскaтєли во всёхъ странaхъ цaрствіz своегw2,
3	3
And let the king appoint local governors in all the provinces of his kingdom, and let them select fair and chaste young damsels and bring them to the city Susa, into the women's apartment, and let them be consigned to the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women; and let things for purification and other attendance be given to them.	и3 да и3зберyтъ nтрокови1цъ дёвственныхъ доброзрaчныхъ въ сyсы грaдъ, въ черт0гъ жeнскій, и3 да tдадyтсz є3vнyхови царeву стрaжу жeнъ, и3 да дадyтсz м†сти и3 пр0чыz потрє1бы:
4	4
And let the woman who shall please the king be queen instead of Astin. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.	и3 женA, ю4же возлю1битъ цaрь, да бyдетъ цари1цею вмёстw ґстjни. И# ўг0дно бЁ царю2 сл0во, и3 сотвори2 тaкw.
5	5
Now there was a Jew in the city Susa, and his name was Mardochæus, the son of Jairus, the son of Semeias, the son of Cisæus, of the tribe of Benjamin;	И# мyжъ бЁ їудeанинъ во грaдэ сyсэхъ, и3 и4мz є3мY мардохeй сhнъ їаjровъ, сhна семeина, сhна кісeова, t плeмене веніамjнz,
6	6
who had been brought a prisoner from Jerusalem, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried into captivity.	и4же бsше плэнeнъ t їеcрли1ма навуходон0соромъ царeмъ вавmлHнскимъ:
7	7
And he had a foster-child, daughter of Aminadab his father's brother, and her name was Esther; and when her parents were dead, he brought her up for a wife for himself: and the damsel was beautiful.	и3 бsше є3мY nтрокови1ца воспитaна, дщeрь ґмінадaва брaта nтцY є3гw2, и3 и4мz є4й є3сfи1рь. По преставлeніи же роди1телей є3S, пріS ю5 мардохeй во дщeре мёсто: и3 бsше дэви1ца краснA и3 доброзрaчна.
8	8
And because the king's ordinance was published, many damsels were gathered to the city Susa under the hand of Gai; and Esther was brought to Gai the keeper of the women.	И# є3гдA ўслhшано бhсть повелёніе царeво, сHбраны бhша дэви6цы мнHги во грaдъ сyсы, под8 рyку гaіеву, и3 приведенA бhсть є3сfи1рь ко гaію храни1телю жeнъ:
9	9
And the damsel pleased him, and she found favour in his sight; and he hasted to give her the things for purification, and her portion, and the seven maidens appointed her out of the palace: and he treated her and her maidens well in the women's apartment.	и3 ўг0дна бhсть є3мY nтрокови1ца и3 њкрёте благодaть пред8 ни1мъ: и3 потщaсz дaти є4й м†сти и3 ўчaстіе, и3 сeдмь дэви1цъ пристaви къ нeй и3з8 д0му царeва, и3 снабдэвaше ю5 и3 рабhнь є3S д0брэ въ домY жeнстэмъ.
10	10
But Esther discovered not her family nor her kindred: for Mardochæus had charged her not to tell.	И# не повёда є3сfи1рь р0да своегw2, нижE nтeчества, мардохeй бо заповёда є4й не возвэщaти.
11	11
But Mardochæus used to walk every day by the women's court, to see what would become of Esther.	На всsкъ же дeнь хождaше мардохeй по дворY жeнскому, назирaz, что2 є3сfи1ри случи1тсz.
12	12
Now this was the time for a virgin to go in to the king, when she should have fulfilled twelve months; for so are the days of purification fulfilled, six months while they are anointing themselves with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices and women's purifications.	Сіe же бЁ врeмz дэви1цъ входи1ти ко царю2, є3гдA и3сп0лнzтсz дванaдесzть мцcей: тaкw бо наполнsхусz днjе ўкрашeніz, шeсть мцcъ во ґрwмaтэхъ и3 въ мaстехъ жeнскихъ, и3 шeсть мцcъ намазyющzсz смЂрновымъ є3лeемъ,
13	13
And then the damsel goes in to the king; and the officer to whomsoever he shall give the command, will bring her to come in with him from the women's apartment to the king's chamber.	и3 тогдA вхождaху ко царeви: и3 є3мyже ѓще речeтъ привести2 ю5, вх0дитъ съ ни1мъ кyпнw и3з8 д0му жeнскагw дaже до д0му царeва:
14	14
She enters in the evening, and in the morning she departs to the second women's apartment, where Gai the king's chamberlain is keeper of the women: and she goes not in to the king again, unless she should be called by name.	на вeчеръ вхождaше и3 заyтра возвращaшесz въ д0мъ жeнскій вторhй, и3дёже гaй є3vнyхъ царeвъ храни1тель жeнъ, и3 не вхождaше пaки ко царю2, ѓще не бyдетъ позванA и4менемъ.
15	15
And when the time was fulfilled for Esther the daughter of Aminadab the brother of Mardochæus' father to go in to the king, she neglected nothing which the chamberlain, the women's keeper, commanded; for Esther found grace in the sight of all that looked upon her.	Е#гдa же и3сп0лнисz врeмz є3сfи1ри дщeри ґмінадaва, брaта nтцA мардохeова, (и4же поsлъ ю5 себЁ въ дщeре мёсто,) вни1ти ко царeви, ничт0же преступи2 t си1хъ, ±же заповёда є4й є3vнyхъ храни1тель жeнъ: бё бо є3сfи1рь њбрэтaющаz благодaть пред8 всёми зрsщими ю5.
16	16
So Esther went in to king Artaxerxes in the twelfth month, which is Adar, in the seventh year of his reign.	И# вни1де є3сfи1рь ко царю2 ґртаxeрxу во вторыйнaдесzть мцcъ, и4же є4сть ґдaръ, въ лёто седм0е цaрства є3гw2.
17	17
And the king loved Esther, and she found favour beyond all the other virgins: and he put on her the queen's crown.	И# возлюби2 цaрь є3сfи1рь, и3 њбрёте благодaть пaче всёхъ дэви1цъ, и3 возложи2 вэнeцъ жeнскій на главY є3S.
18	18
And the king made a banquet for all his friends and great men for seven days, and he highly celebrated the marriage of Esther; and he made a release to those who were under his dominion.	И# сотвори2 цaрь пи1ръ всBмъ другHмъ свои6мъ и3 си1ламъ сeдмь днjй, и3 вознесE брaкъ є3сfи1ринъ, и3 сотвори2 tрaду сyщымъ во цaрствіи є3гw2.
19	19
But Mardochæus served in the palace.	Мардохeй же служaше во дворЁ (царeвэ).
20	20
Now Esther had not discovered her kindred; for so Mardochæus commanded her, to fear God, and perform his commandments, as when she was with him: and Esther changed not her manner of life.	Е#сfи1рь же не повёда р0да своегw2, (ни людjй свои1хъ): си1це бо заповёда є4й мардохeй боsтисz бGа и3 твори1ти зaпwвэди є3гw2, ћкоже бЁ съ ни1мъ, є3сfи1рь же не и3змэни2 њбhчаz своегw2.
21	21
And two chamberlains of the king, the chiefs of the body-guard, were grieved, because Mardochæus was promoted; and they sought to kill king Artaxerxes.	И# њпечaлистасz двA є3vн{ха царє1ва начaлнэйшіи стрaжы тёла є3гw2, ћкw предпочтeнъ бhсть мардохeй, и3 и3скaста ўби1ти ґртаxeрxа царS.
22	22
And the matter was discovered to Mardochæus, and he made it known to Esther, and she declared to the king the matter of the conspiracy.	И# возвэсти1сz сл0во мардохeю, и3 сказA є3сfи1ри: nнa же повёда царю2, ±же навётуютъ.
23	23
And the king examined the two chamberlains, and hanged them: and the king gave orders to make a note for a memorial in the royal records of the good offices of Mardochæus, as a commendation.	Цaрь же и3спытA двY є3vн{ху, (и3 и3сповёдаста,) и3 њбёси и5хъ. И# повелЁ цaрь вписaти на пaмzть въ цaрстэй книгохрани1телницэ њ благодэsніи мардохeовэ въ похвалY.
Chapter 3	Главa G

1	1
And after this king Artaxerxes highly honoured Aman son of Amadathes, the Bugæan, and exalted him, and set his seat above all his friends.	И# по си1хъ прослaви цaрь ґртаxeрxъ ґмaна сhна ґмадаfyина вугeанина и3 вознесE є3го2, и3 предсэдsше вhшше всёхъ другHвъ є3гw2:
2	2
And all in the palace did him obeisance, for so the king had given orders to do: but Mardochæus did not do him obeisance.	и3 вси2, и5же во дворЁ (царeвэ), покланsхусz ґмaну: си1це бо повелЁ цaрь твори1ти. Мардохeй же не клaнzшесz є3мY.
3	3
And they in the king's palace said to Mardochæus, Mardochæus, why dost thou transgress the commands of the king?	И# глаг0лаша сyщіи во дворЁ царeвэ мардохeю: мардохeе, чесw2 рaди не слyшаеши глаг0лемыхъ t царS;
4	4
Thus they spoke daily to him, but he hearkened not unto them; so they represented to Aman that Mardochæus resisted the commands of the king: and Mardochæus had shewn to them that he was a Jew.	По вс‰ же дни6 глаг0лаху є3мY, и3 не послyшаше и4хъ. И# возвэсти1ша ґмaну, ћкw мардохeй сопротивлsетсz повелёнію царeву, и3 повёда и5мъ мардохeй, ћкw їудeанинъ є4сть.
5	5
And when Aman understood that Mardochæus did not obeisance to him, he was greatly enraged,	И# ўвёдавъ ґмaнъ, ћкw не клaнzетсz є3мY мардохeи, разгнёвасz ѕэлw2
6	6
and took counsel to destroy utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.	и3 ўмhсли погуби1ти вс‰ їудє1и, и5же въ цaрствэ ґртаxeрxовэ:
7	7
And he made a decree in the twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, and cast lots daily and monthly, to slay in one day the race of Mardochæus: and the lot fell on the fourteenth day of the month which is Adar.	и3 сотвори2 совётъ въ лёто второенaдесzть цaрства ґртаxeрxова, и3 метaше жрє1біz дeнь t днE и3 мцcъ t мцcа, ћкw погуби1ти во є3ди1нъ дeнь р0дъ мардохeевъ: и3 падE жрeбій на четвертыйнaдесzть дeнь мцcа, и4же є4сть ґдаръ.
8	8
And he spoke to king Artaxerxes, saying, There is a nation scattered among the nations in all thy kingdom, and their laws differ from those of all the other nations; and they disobey the laws of the king; and it is not expedient for the king to let them alone.	И# речE (ґмaнъ) ко царю2 ґртаxeрxу, глаг0лz: є4сть kзhкъ разсёzнный во kзhцэхъ во всeмъ цaрствэ твоeмъ: зак0ны же и4хъ стрaнни пaче всёхъ kзы6къ, и3 зак0нwвъ цaрскихъ не слyшаютъ, и3 не п0льзуетъ царю2 њстaвити и5хъ:
9	9
If it seem good to the king, let him make a decree to destroy them: and I will remit into the king's treasury ten thousand talents of silver.	и3 ѓще г0дэ є4сть царeви, да повели1тъ погуби1ти \|: ѓзъ же запишY въ сокр0вище царeво дeсzть ты2сzщъ тал†нтъ сребрA.
10	10
And the king took off his ring, and gave it into the hands of Aman, to seal the decrees against the Jews.	И# снeмъ цaрь пeрстень (съ руки2 своеS), дадE въ рyцэ ґмaну, да запечaтаетъ пис†ніz напи6саннаz на їудє1й.
11	11
And the king said to Aman, Keep the silver, and treat the nation as thou wilt.	И# речE цaрь ґмaну: сребро2 ќбw и3мёй ты2 себЁ, лю1демъ же твори2, ћкоже х0щеши.
12	12
So the king's recorders were called in the first month, on the thirteenth day, and they wrote as Aman commanded to the captains and governors in every province, from India even to Ethiopia, to a hundred and twenty-seven provinces; and to the rulers of the nations according to their several languages, in the name of king Artaxerxes.	И# при1звани бhша писцы2 царє1вы въ третійнaдесzть дeнь мцcа пeрвагw, и3 написaша, ћкоже повелЁ ґмaнъ, къ воев0дамъ и3 начaлникwмъ по всBмъ странaмъ, t їндjйскіz w4бласти дaже и3 до є3fі0піи, сто2 двaдесzти седми2 странaмъ, начaлствующымъ над8 kзы6ки по и4хъ љзhку, и4менемъ ґртаxeрxа царS.
13	13
And the message was sent by posts throughout the kingdom of Artaxerxes, to destroy utterly the race of the Jews on the first day of the twelfth month, which is Adar, and to plunder their goods.

And the following is the copy of the letter; The great king Artaxerxes writes thus to the rulers and inferior governors of a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia, who hold authority under him.
13b
Ruling over many nations, and having obtained dominion over the whole world, I was minded, (not elated by the confidence of power, but ever conducting myself with great moderation and with gentleness,) to make the lives of my subjects continually tranquil, desiring both to maintain the kingdom quiet and orderly to its utmost limits, and to restore the peace desired by all men.
13c
But when I had enquired of my counsellors how this should be brought to pass, Aman, who excels in soundness of judgment among us, and has been manifestly well inclined without wavering and with unshaken fidelity, and has obtained the second post in the kingdom,
13d
informed us that a certain ill-disposed people is mixed up with all the tribes throughout the world, opposed in their laws to every other nation, and continually neglecting the commands of the kings, so that the united government blamelessly administered by us is not quietly established.
13e
Having then conceived that this nation alone of all others is continually set in opposition to every man, introducing as a change a foreign code of laws, and injuriously plotting to accomplish the worst of evils against our interests, and against the happy establishment of the monarchy;
13f
we have accordingly appointed those who are signified to you in the letters written by Aman, who is set over the public affairs and is our second governor, to destroy them all utterly with their wives and children by the swords of the enemies, without pitying or sparing any, on the fourteenth day of the twelfth month Adar, of the present year;
13g
that the people aforetime and now ill-disposed to us having been violently consigned to death in one day, may hereafter secure to us continually a well constituted and quiet state of affairs.
14	14
And the copies of the letters were published in every province; and an order was given to all the nations to be ready against that day.	Спис†ніz же є3піст0ліи посылaхусz по странaмъ, и3 повелёно бhсть всBмъ kзhкwмъ готHвымъ бhти въ нарэчeнный дeнь.
15	15
And the business was hastened, and that at Susa: and the king and Aman began to drink; but the city was troubled.	Приспё же дёло и3 въ сyсы: и3 цaрь ќбw и3 ґмaнъ пир{юща наслаждaстасz, грaдъ же (сyсы) мzтsшесz.
Chapter 4	Главa д7

1	1
But Mardochæus having perceived what was done, rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, and sprinkled dust upon himself; and having rushed forth through the open street of the city, he cried with a loud voice, A nation that has done no wrong is going to be destroyed.	Мардохeй же разумёвъ замышлsемое, раздрA ри6зы сво‰ и3 њблечeсz во врeтище и3 посhпасz пeпеломъ: и3 скочи1въ въ прострaнную ќлицу грaда, возопи2 в0племъ вели1кимъ и3 г0рькимъ: взимaетсz р0дъ ничт0же преступи1вый.
2	2
And he came to the king's gate, and stood; for it was not lawful for him to enter into the palace, wearing sackcloth and ashes.	И# пріи1де дaже до врaтъ царeвыхъ и3 стA: не лёть бо бЁ є3мY вни1ти во дв0ръ во врeтище њблечeну и3 пeпеломъ њсhпану сyщу.
3	3
And in every province where the letters were published, there was crying and lamentation and great mourning on the part of the Jews: they spread for themselves sackcloth and ashes.	И# во всsцэй странЁ, и3дёже покaзовахусz пис†ніz (царє1ва), в0пль бЁ и3 плaчь и3 рыдaніе превeліе їудewмъ, врeтище и3 пeпелъ постилaху себЁ.
4	4
And the queen's maids and chamberlains went in and told her: and when she had heard what was done, she was disturbed; and she sent to clothe Mardochæus, and take away his sackcloth; but he consented not.	И# внид0ща рабы6ни и3 є3vнyси цари6цыны и3 возвэсти1ша є4й. И# смzтeсz ўслhшавши бhвшее: и3 послA ри6зы њблещи2 мардохeа и3 снsти врeтище є3гw2. И# не послyша.
5	5
So Esther called for her chamberlain Achrathæus, who waited upon her; and she sent to learn the truth from Mardochæus.	Е#сfи1рь же призвA ґхраfeа скопцA своего2, предстоsщаго є4й,
7	7
And Mardochæus shewed him what was done, and the promise which Aman had made the king of ten thousand talents to be paid into the treasury, that he might destroy the Jews.	Мардохeй же сказA є3мY бhвшее, и3 њбэщaніе, є4же њбэшA ґмaнъ царю2 въ сокр0вищный д0мъ (положи1ти) десsть тысsщъ тал†нтъ сребрA, да погуби1тъ їудє1й:
8	8
And he gave him the copy of the writing that was published in Susa concerning their destruction, to shew to Esther; and told him to charge her to go in and intreat the king, and to beg him for the people, remembering, said he, the days of thy low estate, how thou wert nursed by my hand: because Aman who holds the next place to the king has spoken against us for death. Do thou call upon the Lord, and speak to the king concerning us, to deliver us from death.	и3 списaніе (повелёніz) и3здaннагw въ сyсэхъ (грaдэ) на погублeніе и4хъ дадE є3мY, да покaжетъ є3сfи1ри: и3 речE є3мY, заповёдати є4й и3ти2 моли1ти царS и3 проси1ти є3го2 њ лю1дехъ, поминaюши дни6 смирeніz твоегw2, кaкw воспитaна є3си2 въ руцЁ моeй, занE ґмaнъ вторhй по цари2 глаг0ла проти1ву нaмъ на смeрть: призови2 гDа и3 глаг0ли царю2 њ нaсъ, да и3збaвитъ нaсъ t смeрти.
9	9
So Achrathæus went in and told her all these words.	Вшeдъ же ґхраfeй, повёда є3сfи1ри вс‰ глаг0лы сі‰.
10	10
And Esther said to Achrathæus, Go to Mardochæus, and say,	И# речE є3сfи1рь ко ґхраfeю: и3ди2 къ мардохeю и3 рцы2:
11	11
All the nations of the empire know, that whoever, man or woman, shall go in to the king into the inner court uncalled, that person cannot live: only to whomsoever the king shall stretch out his golden sceptre, he shall live: and I have not been called to go in to the king, for these thirty days.	понeже вси2 kзhцы цaрствіz вёдzтъ, ћкw всsкъ мyжъ и3ли2 женA, и4же ѓще вни1детъ ко царвeи во внyтренній д0мъ не при1званъ, нёсть є3мY спасeніz, т0чію къ немyже ѓще прострeтъ цaрь златhй жeзлъ, сей спасeнъ бyдетъ: ѓзъ же нёсмь званA внити ко царю2 сE ўжE три1десzть днjй.
12	12
And Achrathæus reported to Mardochæus all the words of Esther.	И# возвэсти2 ґхраfeй мардохeю вс‰ глаг0лы є3сfи6рины.
13	13
Then Mardochæus said to Achrathæus, Go, and say to her, Esther, say not to thyself that thou alone wilt escape in the kingdom, more than all the other Jews.	И# речE мардохeй ко ґхраfeю: и3ди2 и3 рцы2 є4й: є3сfи1ре, да не речeши въ себЁ, ћкw ты2 є3ди1на спасeшисz во цaрствіи пaче всёхъ їудє1й:
14	14
For if thou shalt refuse to hearken on this occasion, help and protection will be to the Jews from another quarter; but thou and thy father's house will perish: and who knows, if thou hast been made queen for this very occasion?	занE ѓще преслyшаеши въ сіE врeмz, tи1нуду п0мощь и3 покр0въ бyдетъ їудewмъ, тh же и3 д0мъ nтцA твоегw2 поги1бнете: и3 кто2 вёсть, ѓще на сіE врeмz воцари1ласz є3си2;
15	15
And Esther sent the man that came to her to Mardochæus, saying,	И# послA є3сfи1рь пришeдшаго къ нeй ко мардохeю, глаг0лющи:
16	16
Go and assemble the Jews that are in Susa, and fast ye for me, and eat not and drink not for three days, night and day: and I also and my maidens will fast; and then I will go in to the king contrary to the law, even if I must die.	Шeдъ собери2 їудє1и и5же въ сyсэхъ, и3 пости1тесz њ мнЁ, и3 не kди1те нижE пjйте три2 дни6 дeнь и3 н0щь: ѓзъ же и3 служє1бницы мо‰ (тaкожде) не и4мамы ћсти: и3 тогдA вни1ду ко царю2 кромЁ зак0на, ѓще и3 поги1бнути ми2 приключи1тсz.
17	17
So Mardochæus went and did all that Esther commanded him.	И# шeдъ мардохeй сотвори2, є3ли6ка заповёда є3мY є3сfи1рь, и3 помоли1сz гDеви поминaz вс‰ дэлA гDнz и3 речE: гDи, гDи цRю2 вседержи1телю, ћкw во влaсти твоeй сіE всE є4сть, и3 нёсть противомyдрствуzй тебЁ, внегдA восх0щеши спcти2 ї}лz: ћкw ты2 сотвори1лъ є3си2 нeбо и3 зeмлю и3 всE ўдивлsемое въ поднебeснэй и3 гDь є3си2 всёхъ, и3 нёсть, и4же воспроти1витсz тебЁ гDеви: ты2 вс‰ вёси, ты2 знaеши, гDи, ћкw не въ ўкори1знэ ни въ г0рдости, нижE во тщелaвіи сотвори1хъ сіE, є4же не покланsтисz прег0рдому ґмaну, понeже благоволи1мъ бhхъ лобзaти и3 слэды2 н0гъ є3гw2 спасeніz рaди ї}лева, но сіE сотвори1хъ, да не воздaмъ слaвы человёку пaче слaвы б9z, и3 не поклоню1сz ни комyже, кромЁ тебє2 гDа моегw2, и3 не сотворю2 сі‰ въ гордости: и3 нн7э, гDи б9е, цRю2, б9е ґвраaмовъ, пощади2 лю1ди тво‰, ћкw назирaютъ нaмъ въ поги1бель и3 вожделёша погуби1ти є4же и3з8 начaла наслёбдіе твоE: не прeзри досто‰ніz твоегw2, є4же и3збaвилъ є3си2 тебЁ t земли2 є3гЂпетскіz: ўслhши моли1тву мою2, и3 ўмлcрдисz над8 жрeбіемъ твои1мъ, и3 њбрати2 рыдaніе нaше въ весeліе, да живyще восхвали1мъ и4мz твоe, гDи, и3 не погуби2 ќстъ восхвалsющихъ тS, гDи.

17a
And he besought the Lord, making mention of all the works of the Lord; and he said,
17b
Lord God, king ruling over all, for all things are in thy power, and there is no one that shall oppose thee in thy purpose to save Israel.—
17c
For thou hast made the heaven and the earth, and every wonderful thing in the world under heaven. And thou art Lord of all, and there is no one who shall resist thee the Lord.
17d
Thou knowest all things: thou knowest, Lord, that it is not in insolence, nor haughtiness, nor love of glory, that I have done this, to refuse obeisance to the haughty Aman. For I would gladly have kissed the soles of his feet for the safety of Israel.
17e
But I have done this, that I might not set the glory of man above the glory of God: and I will not worship any one except thee, my Lord, and I will not do these things in haughtiness.
17f
And now, O Lord God, the King, the God of Abraam, spare thy people, for our enemies are looking upon us to our destruction, and they have desired to destroy thine ancient inheritance.
17g
Do not overlook thy peculiar people, whom thou hast redeemed for thyself out of the land of Egypt.
17h
Hearken to my prayer, and be propitious to thine inheritance, and turn our mourning into gladness, that we may live and sing praise to thy name, O Lord; and do not utterly destroy the mouth of them that praise thee, O Lord.
17i
And all Israel cried with all their might, for their death was before their eyes.
17k
And queen Esther betook herself for refuge to the Lord, being taken as it were in the agony of death. And having taken off her glorious apparel, she put on garments of distress and mourning; and instead of grand perfumes she filled her head with ashes and dung, and she greatly brought down her body, and she filled every place of her glad adorning with the torn curls of her hair. And she besought the Lord God of Israel, and said,
17l
O my Lord, thou alone art our king: help me who am destitute, and have no helper but thee, for my danger is near at hand.
17m
I have heard from my birth, in the tribe of my kindred, that thou, Lord, tookest Israel out of all the nations, and our fathers out of all their kindred for a perpetual inheritance, and hast wrought for them all that thou hast said.
17n
And now we have sinned before thee, and thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies, because we honoured their gods: thou art righteous, O Lord.
17o
But now they have not been contented with the bitterness of our slavery, but have laid their hands on the hands of their idols, in order to abolish the decree of thy mouth, and utterly to destroy thine inheritance, and to stop the mouth of them that praise thee, and to extinguish the glory of thine house and thine altar,
17p
and to open the mouth of the Gentiles to speak the praises of vanities, and in order that a mortal king should be admired for ever.
17q
O Lord, do not resign thy sceptre to them that are not, and let them not laugh at our fall, but turn their counsel against themselves, and make an example of him who has begun to injure us.
17r
Remember us, O Lord, manifest thyself in the time of our affliction, and encourage me, O king of gods, and ruler of all dominion.
17s
Put harmonious speech into my mouth before the lion, and turn his heart to hate him that fights against us, to the utter destruction of him and of them that consent with him.
17t
But deliver us by thine hand, and help me who am destitute, and have none but thee, O Lord.
17u
Thou knowest all things, and knowest that I hate the glory of transgressors, and that I abhor the couch of the uncircumcised, and of every stranger.
17w
Thou knowest my necessity, for I abhor the symbol of my proud station, which is upon my head in the days of my splendour: I abhor it as a menstruous cloth, and I wear it not in the days of my tranquillity.
17x
And thy handmaid has not eaten at the table of Aman, and I have not honoured the banquet of the king, neither have I drunk wine of libations.
17y
Neither has thy handmaid rejoiced since the day of my promotion until now, except in thee, O Lord God of Abraam.
17z
O God, who hast power over all, hearken to the voice of the desperate, and deliver us from the hand of them that devise mischief; and deliver me from my fear.

And it came to pass on the third day, when she had ceased praying, that she put off her mean dress, and put on her glorious apparel.

And being splendidly arrayed, and having called upon God the Overseer and Preserver of all things, she took her two maids, and she leaned upon one, as a delicate female, and the other followed bearing her train.
1b
And she was blooming in the perfection of her beauty; and her face was cheerful, as it were benevolent, but her heart was straitened for fear.
1c
And having passed through all the doors, she stood before the king: and he was sitting upon his royal throne, and he had put on all his glorious apparel, covered all over with gold and precious stones, and was very terrible.
1d
And having raised his face resplendent with glory, he looked with intense anger: and the queen fell, and changed her colour as she fainted; and she bowed herself upon the head of the maid that went before her.
1e
But God changed the spirit of the king to gentleness, and in intense feeling he sprang from off his throne, and took her into his arms, until she recovered: and he comforted her with peaceable words, and said to her,
1f
What is the matter, Esther? I am thy brother; be of good cheer, thou shalt not die, for our command is openly declared to thee, Draw nigh.
2	2
And having raised the golden sceptre he laid it upon her neck, and embraced her, and said, Speak to me.	И# взeмъ златhй жeзлъ (цaрь) возложи2 на вhю є3S и3 њблобызA ю5 и3 речE: глаг0ли ми2.

And she said to him, I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy glory; for thou, my lord, art to be wondered at, and thy face is full of grace.
2b
And while she was speaking, she fainted and fell. Then the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted her.
3	3
And the king said, What wilt thou, Esther? and what is thy request? ask even to the half of my kingdom, and it shall be thine.	И# речE є4й цaрь: что2 х0щешн, є3сfи1ре; и3 что2 прошeніе твоE; бyдетъ ти2 дaже и3 до полуцaрства моегw2.

And Esther said, To-day is my great day: if then it seem good to the king, let both him and Aman come to the feast which I will prepare this day.	И# речE є3сfи1рь: дeнь моегw2 прaзднованіz днeсь є4сть: ѓще u5бо ўг0дно є4сть царeви, да пріи1детъ цaрь и3 ґмaнъ на пи1ръ, є3г0же сотворю2 днeсь.

And the king said, Hasten Aman hither, that we may perform the word of Esther. So they both come to the feast of which Esther had spoken.	И# речE цaрь: ўскори1те и3ти2 по ґмaна, да сотвори1мъ сл0во є3сfи1рино. И# пріид0ста џба на пи1ръ, є3г0же сотвори2 є3сfи1рь.

And at the banquet the king said to Esther, What is thy request, queen Esther? speak, and thou shalt have all that thou requirest.	На пирy же речE цaрь ко є3сfи1ри: чт0 є3сть, є3сfи1ре цари1це; (и3 кaz є4сть мhсль прошeніz твоегw2; дaмъ ти2 и3 до полуцaрства моегw2,) и3 бyдетъ є3ли1кw проси1ши.

if I have found favour in the sight of the king, let the king and Aman come again to-morrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and to-morrow I will do the same.	ѓще њбрэт0хъ благодaть пред8 царeмъ, да пріи1детъ цaрь и3 ґмaнъ є3щE заyтра на пи1ръ, є3г0же сотворю2 и4ма, и3 заyтра сотворю2 сіE прошeніе.

So Aman went out from the king very glad and merry: but when Aman saw Mardochæus the Jew in the court, he was greatly enraged.	И# и3зhде ґмaнъ t царS ѕэлw2 рaдостенъ и3 вeселъ: ви1дэвъ же мардохeа їудeанина во дворЁ (царeвэ не подви1гнувшасz и3 не клaнzющатz прeд8 ни1мъ), воз8zри1сz ѕэлw2:
10	10
And having gone into his own house, he called his friends, and his wife Zosara.	и3 вшeдъ въ д0мъ св0й, призвA дрyги сво‰ и3 зwсaру женY свою2
11	11
And he shewed them his wealth, and the glory with which the king had invested him, and how he had caused him to take precedence and bear chief rule in the kingdom.	и3 показA и5мъ богaтство своE и3 слaву, є4юже возвели1чи є3го2 цaрь, и3 ћкw сотвори2 є3го2 пeрваго бhти и3 прaвити цaрствіе.
12	12
And Aman said, The queen has called no one to the feast with the king but me, and I am invited to-morrow.	И# речE ґмaнъ: не звA цари1ца ни є3ди1нагw на пи1ръ со царeмъ, но т0чію менE, и3 наyтріе звaше мS:
13	13
But these things please me not, while I see Mardochæus the Jew in the court.	но сі‰ не сyть ми2 ўгHдна, є3гдA ви1жду мардохeа їудeанина во дворЁ (царeвэ).
14	14
And Zosara his wife and his friends said to him, Let there be a gallows made for thee of fifty cubits, and in the morning do thou speak to the king, and let Mardochæus be hanged on the gallows: but do thou go in to the feast with the king, and be merry. And the saying pleased Aman, and the gallows was prepared.	И# речE є3мY зwсaра женA є3гw2 и3 дрyзіе: пригот0ви дрeво лакHтъ пzтьдесsтъ, и3 заyтра речeши царeви, и3 да повeшенъ бyдетъ мардохeй на дрeвэ: тh же вни1ди со царeмъ на пи1ръ и3 весели1сz. И# ўг0денъ бhсть ґмaну глаг0лъ сeй, и3 ўгот0ва дрeво.
Chapter 6	Главa ѕ7

1	1
But the Lord removed sleep from the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the books, the registers of daily events, to read to him.	ГDь же tS со2нъ t царS въ нощи2 џнэй. И# повелЁ рабY своемY принести2 кни6ги п†мzтныz днjй прочитaти є3мY:
2	2
And he found the records written concerning Mardochæus, how he had told the king concerning the two chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes.	и3 њбрёте пис†ніz напи6саннаz њ мардохeи, кaкw повёда царю2 њ двою2 є3vн{ху ц†рскую, внегдA стрещи2 и4ма, и3 ўмhслиста ўби1ти (царS) ґртаxeрxа.
3	3
And the king said, What honour or favour have we done to Mardochæus? And the king's servants said, Thou hast not done anything to him.	И# речE цaрь: кyю слaву и3ли2 благодaть сотвори1хомъ мардохeю; И# рек0ша џтроцы царє1вы: ничт0же сотвори1лъ є3си2 є3мY;
4	4
And while the king was enquiring about the kindness of Mardochæus, behold, Aman was in the court. And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Aman was come in to speak to the king, that he should hang Mardochæus on the gallows, which he had prepared.	Вопрошaющу же царю2 њ благодэsніи мардохeовэ, сE, ґмaнъ пріи1де во дв0ръ, и3 речE цaрь: кто2 є4сть во дворЁ; Ґмaнъ же пріи1де рещи2 царeви, да повёситъ мардохeа на дрeвэ, є4же ўгот0ва.
5	5
And the king's servants said, Behold, Aman stands in the court. And the king said, Call him.	И# рек0ша џтроцы царє1вы: сE, ґмaнъ стои1тъ во дворЁ. И# речE цaрь: призови1те є3го2.
6	6
And the king said to Aman, What shall I do to the man whom I wish to honour? And Aman said within himself, Whom would the king honour but myself?	И# речE цaрь ґмaну: что2 сотворю2 мyжу, є3г0же ѓзъ хощY прослaвити; речe же въ себЁ ґмaнъ: кого2 х0щетъ цaрь прослaвити, рaзвэ менє2;
7	7
and he said to the king, As for the man whom the king wishes to honour,	Речe же царю2: мyжа, є3г0же х0щетъ цaрь прослaвити,
8	8
let the king's servants bring the robe of fine linen which the king puts on, and the horse on which the king rides,	да принесyтъ џтроцы царє1вы nдeжду вmсс0нную, є4юже цaрь њблачaетсz, и3 конS, на нeмже цaрь э4здитъ,
9	9
and let him give it to one of the king's noble friends, and let him array the man whom the king loves; and let him mount him on the horse, and proclaim through the street of the city, saying, Thus shall it be done to every man whom the king honours.	и3 да дaстсz є3ди1ному t другHвъ царeвыхъ слaвныхъ, и3 да њблечeтъ мyжа, є3г0же цaрь лю1битъ, и3 да посaдитъ є3го2 на конS и3 проповёсть на ќлицахъ грaда, глаг0лz: тaкw бyдетъ всsкому человёку, є3г0же цaрь прослaвитъ.
10	10
Then the king said to Aman, Thou hast well said: so do to Mardochæus the Jew, who waits in the palace, and let not a word of what thou hast spoken be neglected.	И# речE цaрь ґмaну: д0брэ рeклъ є3си2: тaкw сотвори2 мардохeю їудeанину, ўг0днw служaщему во дворЁ (нaшемъ), и3 да не и3змэни1тсz сл0во твоE t си1хъ, ±же рeклъ є3си2.
11	11
So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mardochæus, and mounted him on the horse, and went through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be to every man whom the king wishes to honour.	И# взS ґмaнъ nдeжду и3 конS, и3 њблечE мардохeа, и3 возведE є3го2 на коиS, и3 пр0йде по ќлицамъ грaда, и3 проповёдаше (пред8 ни1мъ), глаг0лz: си1це бyдетъ всsкому человёку, є3г0же х0щетъ цaр прослaвити.
12	12
And Mardochæus returned to the palace: but Aman went home mourning, and having his head covered.	И# возврати1сz мардохeи во дв0ръ (царeвъ): ґмaнъ же и4де въ д0мъ св0й скорбS преклони1въ главY.
13	13
And Aman related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to his friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, If Mardochæus be of the race of the Jews, and thou hast begun to be humbled before him, thou wilt assuredly fall, and thou wilt not be able to withstand him, for the living God is with him.	И# сказA ґмaнъ случи6вшаzсz є3мY зwсaрэ женЁ своeй и3 другHмъ свои6мъ. И# рёша є3мY дрyзіе є3гw2 и3 женA: ѓще t плeмене їудейскагw мардохeй, нaчалъ є3си2 смирsтисz пред8 ни1мъ, пaдаz падeши, и3 не возм0жеши є3мY tмсти1ти, ћкw бGъ живhй є4сть съ ни1мъ.
14	14
While they were yet speaking, the chamberlains arrived, to hasten Aman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.	И# є3щE глаг0лющымъ и5мъ, пріид0ша є3vнyси, спёшнw зовyще ґмaна на пи1ръ, є3г0же ўгот0ва є3сfи1рь.
Chapter 7	Главa з7

1	1
So the king and Aman went in to drink with the queen.	Вни1де же цaрь и3 ґмaнъ пировaти со цари1цею.
2	2
And the king said to Esther at the banquet on the second day, What is it, queen Esther? and what is thy request, and what is thy petition? and it shall be done for thee, to the half of my kingdom.	И# речE цaрь є4сfи1ри во вторhй дeнь на пирY: чт0 є3сть, є3сfи1ре цари1це; и3 что2 прошeніе твоE; и3 что2 молeніе твоE; и3 бyдетъ тебЁ до полуцaрствіz моегw2.
3	3
And she answered and said, If I have found favour in the sight of the king, let my life be granted to my petition, and my people to my request.	И# tвэщaвши (є3сfи1рь цари1ца) речE: ѓще њбрэт0хъ благодaть пред8 nчи1ма твои1ма, царю2, да дaстсz душA моS прошeнію моемY и3 лю1діе мои2 молeнію моемY:
4	4
For both I and my people are sold for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; both we and our children for bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the slanderer is not worthy of the king's palace.	пр0дани бо є3смы2, ѓзъ же и3 лю1діе мои2, на поги1бель и3 расхищeніе и3 въ раб0ту, мh же и3 ч†да н†ша въ рабы6 и3 рабы6ни, и3 небрег0хъ: нёсть бо дост0инъ клеветни1къ дворA царeва.
5	5
And the king said, Who is this that has dared to do this thing?	И# речE цaрь: кто2 є4сть сeй, и4же дерзнY сотвори1ти вeщь сію2;
6	6
And Esther said, The adversary is Aman, this wicked man. Then Aman was troubled before the king and the queen.	И# речE є3сfи1рь: человёкъ врaгъ, ґмaнъ лукaвый сeй. Ґмaнъ же смzтeсz t царS и3 цари1цы.
7	7
And the king rose up from the banquet to go into the garden: and Aman began to intreat the queen; for he saw that he was in an evil case.	Цaрь же востA со гнёвомъ t пи1ра (и3 и4де) въ вертогрaдъ: ґмaнъ же молsше цари1цу, ви1дzше бо себE въ бэдaхъ сyща.
8	8
And the king returned from the garden; and Aman had fallen upon the bed, intreating the queen. And the king said, Wilt thou even force my wife in my house? And when Aman heard it, he changed countenance.	Возврати1сz же цaрь и3з вертогрaда, и3 ґмaнъ припадE къ л0жу, на нeмже бЁ є3сfи1рь, молS цари1цу. И# речE цaрь: є3гдA и3 женY наси1луетъ въ домY моeмъ; Ґмaнъ же слhшавъ и3змэни1сz лицeмъ.
9	9
And Bugathan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows for Mardochæus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman. And the king said, Let him be hanged thereon.	Речe же вугаfaнъ є3ди1нъ t скопцє1въ, сeй же вёдzше њ т0мъ дрeвэ, ви1дэвъ є5 въ домY ґмaновэ, є3гдA призывaше є3го2 на њбёдъ цaрскій, и3 њ сeмъ и3спытaвъ є3ди1наго t џтрwкъ, ўразумёвъ замышлsемое, и3 речE ко царю2: сE, и3 дрeво ўгот0ва ґмaнъ мардохeю глаг0лавшему благ†z њ цари2, и3 стои1тъ въ домY ґмaновэ возвышeно на лакHтъ пzтьдесsтъ. И# речE цaрь: да повёситсz (ґмaнъ) на нeмъ.
10	10
So Aman was hanged on the gallows that had been prepared for Mardochæus: and then the king's wrath was appeased.	И# повёшенъ бhсть ґмaнъ на дрeвэ, є4же ўгот0ва мардохeю. И# тогдA цaрь ўтоли1сz t ћрости.
Chapter 8	Главa }

1	1
And in that day king Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochæus was called by the king; for Esther had shewn that he was related to her.	И# въ т0й дeнь цaрь ґртаxeрxъ даровA є3сfи1ри, є3ли6ка бsху ґмaна клеветникA (їудeйска): и3 мардохeи при1званъ бhсть t царS, повёда бо є3сfи1рь, ћкw ср0дникъ є4сть є4й.
2	2
And the king took the ring which he had taken away from Aman, and gave it to Mardochæus: and Esther appointed Mardochæus over all that had been Aman's.	И# снS цaрь пeрстень св0й, є3г0же tS ў ґмaна, и3 дадe мардохeеви. И# постaви є3сfи1рь мардохeа над8 всёмъ и3мёніемъ ґмaновымъ,
3	3
And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and besought him to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.	и3 приложи2 глаг0лати ко царю2, и3 припадE пред8 ногaма є3гw2 (и3 восплaка), и3 молsше є3го2 tврати1ти ѕл0бу ґмaнову и3 мhсль є3гw2, є4юже помhсли на їудє1и.
4	4
Then the king stretched out to Esther the golden sceptre: and Esther arose to stand near the king.	И# прострE цaрь є3сfи1ри жeзлъ злaтъ: востa же є3сfи1рь и3 стA пред8 царeмъ.
5	5
And Esther said, If it seem good to thee, and I have found favour in thy sight, let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in thy kingdom.	И# речE є3сfи1рь: ѓще ўг0дио ти2 є4сть, и3 њбрэт0хъ благодaть пред8 тоб0ю, посли2 возврати1ти пис†ніz пHсланнаz t ґмaна, пи6санаz на погублeніе їудewвъ, и5же њбитaютъ во (всeмъ) цaрствіи твоeмъ:
6	6
For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my kindred?	кaкw бо возмогY ви1дэти њѕлоблeніе людjй мои1хъ и3 кaкw возмогY спасти1сz въ поги1бели nтeчества моегw2;
7	7
And the king said to Esther, If I have given and freely granted thee all that was Aman's, and hanged him on a gallows, because he laid his hands upon the Jews, what dost thou yet further seek?	И# речE цaрь є3сfи1ри: ѓще вс‰ и3мBніz ґмaнwва дaхъ и3 даровaхъ тебЁ, и3 того2 повёсихъ на дрeвэ, ћкw рyцэ вознесE на їудє1и, что2 є3щE проси1ши;
8	8
Write ye also in my name, as it seems good to you, and seal it with my ring: for whatever orders are written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not lawful to gainsay them.	напиши1те и3 вы2 и4менемъ мои1мъ, ћкоже ўг0дно є4сть вaмъ, и3 запечaтайте пeрстнемъ мои1мъ: є3ли6ка бо пи6сана бывaютъ царeвымъ повелёніемъ и3 запечaтаютсz пeрстнемъ мои1мъ, не возм0жно и5мъ противорещи2.
9	9
So the scribes were called in the first month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same year; and orders were written to the Jews, whatever the king had commanded to the local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the several provinces, according to their dialects.	И# при1звани бhша писцы2 (царє1вы) въ пeрвый мцcъ, и4же є4сть нісaнъ, въ двaдесzть трeтій дeнь тогHжде мцcа, и3 написaша њ їудeехъ, є3ли6ка заповёда мардохeй, ко ўправи1телємъ и3 ко начaлникwмъ воев0дъ t їндjйскіz страны2 дaже до є3fі0піи, сто2 двaдесzть седми2 воев0дамъ, во всsкую странY по своемY и4хъ ‰зhку.
10	10
And they were written by order of the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the posts:	Напи6сана же бhша велёніемъ царeвымъ и3 запечатлёшасz пeрстнемъ є3гw2: и3 послaша пис†ніz чрез8 писмон0сцы,
11	11
wherein he charged them to use their own laws in every city, and to help each other, and to treat their adversaries, and those who attacked them, as they pleased,	ћкw повелЁ и5мъ жи1ти по зак0нwмъ и4хъ во всsцэмъ грaдэ, и3 да помогaютъ и3мъ, и3 да сотворsтъ сопeрникwмъ и4хъ и3 проти1вникwмъ и4хъ, ћкоже хотsтъ,
12	12
on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is Adar.	въ дeнь є3ди1нъ по всемY цaрству ґртаxeрxову, въ третійнaдесzть дeнь вторагwнaдесzть мцcа, и4же є4сть ґдaръ.
12a
And the following is the copy of the letter of the orders.
12b
The great king Artaxerxes sends greeting to the rulers of provinces in a hundred and twenty-seven satrapies, from India to Ethiopia, even to those who are faithful to our interests.
12c
Many who have been frequently honoured by the most abundant kindness of their benefactors have conceived ambitious designs, and not only endeavour to hurt our subjects, but moreover, not being able to bear prosperity, they also endeavour to plot against their own benefactors.
12d
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.
12e
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;
12f
while men, by the false sophistry of an evil disposition, have deceived the simple candour of the ruling powers.
12g
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 unworthily holding power.
12h
And it is right to take heed with regard to the future, that we may maintain the government in undisturbed peace for all men,
12i
adopting needful changes, and ever judging those cases which come under our notice, with truly equitable decision.
12k
For whereas Aman, a Macedonian, the son of Amadathes, 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,
12l
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 of all;
12m
he, however, overcome by the pride of his station, endeavoured to deprive us of our dominion, and our life;
12n
having by various and subtle artifices demanded for destruction both Mardochæus our deliverer and perpetual benefactor, and Esther the blameless consort of our kingdom, with their whole nation.
12o
For by these methods he thought, having surprised us in a defenceless state, to transfer the dominion of the Persians to the Macedonians.
12p
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,
12q
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.
12r
Ye will therefore do well in refusing to obey the letters 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.
12s
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 attacked them in a time of affliction.
12t
For in the place of the destruction of the chosen race, Almighty God has granted them this time of gladness.
12u
Do ye 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 those who are well disposed toward the Persians, but to those that plotted against us a memorial of destruction.
12x
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 for ever.
13	13
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.

So the horsemen went forth with haste to perform the king's commands; and the ordinance was also published in Susa.	КHнницы u5бо и3зыд0ша спёшнw повелBннаz t царS соверши1ти. Предлагaшесz же повелёніе и3 въ сyсэхъ.
15	15
And Mardochæus went forth robed in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine purple linen: and the people in Susa saw it and rejoiced.	И# мардохeй и3зhде њблечeнъ въ цaрскую nдeжду и3 вэнeцъ и3мyщь златhй, діади1му вmсс0нную, червлeную. Ви1дэвше же сyщіи въ сyсэхъ возрaдовашасz,
16	16
And the Jews had light and gladness,	ћкw їудewмъ бhсть свётъ и3 весeліе:
17	17
in every city and province wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.	во (всsцэмъ) грaдэ и3 странЁ, и3дёже ѓще предлагaшесz повелёніе рaдость и3 весeліе бЁ їудewмъ, пировaніе и3 ўтэшeнме.

Chapter 9	Главa f7

1	1
For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.	Во вторыйнaдесzть мцcъ, и3же є4сть ґдaръ, въ третійнaдесzть дeнь мцcа пріид0ша пис†ніz t царS.
2	2
In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.	Въ т0й же день погиб0ша супостaты їудeєвъ: ни є3ди1нъ бо сопроти1висz и5мъ боsсz и4хъ.
3	3
For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of Mardochæus lay upon them.	Начaлствующіи бо стрaнамъ и3 власти1теліе и3 цaрстіи книгHчіz почитaху їудє1й:
4	4
For the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.	стрaхъ бо мардохeевъ належaше на ни1хъ.
6	6
And in the city Susa the Jews slew five hundred men:	И# въ сyсэхъ грaдэ и3зби1ша їудeє пsть сHтъ мужeй:
7	7
both Pharsannes, and Delphon and Phasga,	Фарсaна, нестaнна и3 делфHна, и3 фасгaна
8	8
and Pharadatha, and Barea, and Sarbaca,	и3 фардаfaна, и3 варeа и3 сарвакaна,
9	9
and Marmasima, and Ruphæus, and Arsæus, and Zabuthæus,	и3 мармасjма и3 руфeа, и3 ґрсeа и3 завуfеfaма,
10	10
the ten sons of Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugæan, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered their property on the same day:	дeсzть сынHвъ ґмaна ґмадаfyева вугeанина врагA їудеwмъ, и4же t fармаfeа, и3 разгрaбиша въ т0й дeнь (и3мBніz и4хъ):
11	11
and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered to the king.	и3 сказaша число2 и3збіeнныхъ царю2 въ сyсэхъ грaдэ.
12	12
And the king said to Esther, The Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, thinkest thou, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then dost thou yet ask, that it may be done for thee?	И# речE цaрь ко є3сfи1ри: и3зби1ша їудeє въ сyсэъ грaдэ пsть сHтъ мужeй, по њкрє1стнымъ же странaмъ коли1кw, мни1ши, погуби1ша; и3 чесогw2 є3щE проси1ши, и3 бyдетъ ти2;
13	13
And Esther said to the king, Let it be granted to the Jews so to treat them to-morrow as to hang the ten sons of Aman.	И# речE є3сfи1рь ко царю2: да дaстсz тaкожде їудewмъ твори1ти заyтра, ћкw да повёсzтъ дeсzть сынHвъ ґмaновыхъ.
14	14
And he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.	И# повелЁ цaрь тaкw бhти, и3 попусти2 їудewмъ внЁ грaда повёсити тэлесA сынHвъ ґмaновыхъ.
15	15
And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth day of Adar, and slew three hundred men, but plundered no property.	И# собрaшасz їудeє, и5же въ сyсэхъ, въ четвертыйнaдесzть деeнь ґдaра, и3 и3зби1ша мужeй три1ста, и3 ничт0же разгрaбиша.
16	16
And the rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth day of Adar, but took no spoil.	Пр0чіи же їудeє, и5же во цaрствіи, собрaшасz и3 себЁ помогaху и3 почи1ша t брaней: и3зби1ша бо t ни1хъ пzтьнaдесzть тhсzщъ въ третійнaдесzть ґдaра, и3 ничт0же расхи1тиша.
17	17
And they rested on the fourteenth of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.	И# почи1ша въ четвертыйнaдесzть дeнь тогHжде мцcа и3 провождaху т0й дeнь ўпокоeніz съ рaдостію и3 весeліемъ.
18	18
And the Jews in the city Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day and rested; and they kept also the fifteenth with joy and gladness.	Їудeє же въ сyсэхъ грaдэ собрaшасz и3 въ четвертыйнaдесzть почи1ша: проводи1ша же и3 пzтыйнaдесzть съ рaдостію и3 весeліемъ.
19	19
On this account then it is that the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar as a holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbour.	Сегw2 рaди їудeє разсёzнніи во всsцэй странЁ внёшней провождaютъ четвертыйнaдесzть дeнь ґдaра блaгъ съ весeліемъ, посылaюще ч†сти кjйждо бли1жнему: живyщій же въ митроп0ліzхъ и3 въ пzтыйнaдесzть дeнь ґдaра весeліz благjй провождaютъ, посылaюще ч†сти бли6жним.
20	20
And Mardochæus wrote these things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar off,	НаписA же мардохeй словесA сі‰ въ кни1гу и3 послA їудewмъ, є3ли1цы бёша въ цaрствіи ґртаxeрxовэ, бли1з8 и3 далeче сyщымъ,
21	21
to establish these as joyful days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;	ўстaвити дни6 сі‰ бл†ги, є4же провождaти четвертыйнaдесzть и3 пzтыйнaдесzть дeнь ґдaра:
22	22
for on these days the Jews obtained rest from their enemies: and as to the month, which was Adar, in which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow to a good day, to spend the whole of it in good days of feasting and gladness, sending portions to their friends, and to the poor.	въ си1хъ бо днeхъ почи1ша їудeє t вр†гъ свои1хъ: и3 мцcъ ґдaръ, и4же њбрати1сz и5мъ t плaча въ рaдость и3 t болёзни во благjй дeнь, провождaти вeсь во благи1хъ днeхъ рaдости и3 весeліz, посылaюще ч†сти ко другHмъ и3 ни1щымъ.
23	23
And the Jews consented to this accordingly as Mardochæus wrote to them,	И# пріsша їудeє, ћкоже написA и5мъ мардохeй:
24	24
shewing how Aman the son of Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and cast lots to destroy them utterly;	кaкw ґмaнъ ґмадаfyевъ македHнzнинъ рaтоваше їудеєвъ, и3 кaкw и3знесE сyдъ и3 жрeбій, є4же погуби1ти и5хъ,
25	25
also how he went in to the king, telling him to hang Mardochæus: but all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.	и3 ћкw вни1де ко царю2, глаг0лz, да повёситъ мардохeа: є3ли6ка начA наводи1ти на їудє1и ѕлaz, на него2 бhша, и3 повёшенъ бhсть сaмъ и3 ч†да є3гw2.
26	26
Therefore these days were called Phruræ, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phruræ;) because of the words of this letter, and because of all they suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.	Сегw2 рaди нарек0шасz днjе сjи фурjмъ рaди жрє1бій, занE діалeктомъ и4хъ жрє1біи нарицaютсz фурjмъ, рaди словeсъ є3піст0ліи сеS, и3 є3ли6ка пострадaша си1хъ рaди, и3 є3ли6ка и5мъ приключи1шасz.
27	27
And Mardochæus established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them to observe it, neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days were to be a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.	Ўстaви ќбw, и3 тaкw пріsша їудeє на себE и3 на сёмz своE и3 на ириложи1вшихсz къ ни6мъ, нижE и3нaче да ўпотреблsютъ: днjе же сjи пaмzти совершaеми по р0ду и3 р0ду, и3 грaду и3 nтeчеству и3 странЁ.
28	28
And these days of the Phruræ, said they, shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.	Днjе же сjи фурjмъ да провождaютъ во всsкое лёто, и3 пaмzть да не њскудёетъ t родHбъ.
29	29
And queen Esther, the daughter of Aminadab, and Mardochæus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the confirmation of the letter of Phruræ.	И# написA є3сfи1рь царица дщи2 ґмінадaвлz и3 мардохeй їудeанинъ, є3ли6ка сотвори1ша во ўтверждeніе є3піст0ліи њ днeхъ фурjмъ.
31	31
And Mardochæus and Esther the queen appointed a fast for themselves privately, even at that time also having formed their plan against their own health.	И# є3сfи1рь сл0во постaви во вёки, и3 напи1сано бhсть въ пaмzть.
32
And Esther established it by a command for ever, and it was written for a memorial.
Chapter 10	Главa ‹

1	1
And the king levied a tax upon his kingdom both by land and sea.	Написa же цaрь по всемY цaрствію своемY, є4же на земли2 и3 на м0ри,
2	2
And as for his strength and valour, and the wealth and glory of his kingdom, behold, they are written in the book of the Persians and Medes, for a memorial.	и3 си1лу свою2, и3 мyжествєннаz и3справлє1ніz, богaтство же и3 слaву цaрствіz своегw2: сE, пи6сана сyть въ кни1зэ царeй пeрсскихъ и3 ми1дскихъ, на пaмzть.
3	3
And Mardochæus was viceroy to king Artaxerxes, and was a great man in the kingdom, and honoured by the Jews, and passed his life beloved of all his nation.	Мардохeй бо вторhй бЁ по цари2 ґртаxeрxэ, и3 вели1къ бЁ во цaрствіи и3 прослaвленъ t їудє1й и3 люби1мь, повёдаше содBzннаz всемY kзhку своемY.

3a
And Mardochæus said, These things have been done of God.
3b
For I remember the dream which I had concerning these matters: for not one particular of them has failed.
3c
There was the little fountain, which became a river, and there was light, and the sun, and much water. The river is Esther, whom the king married, and made queen.
3d
And the two serpents are I and Aman.
3e
And the nations are those nations that combined to destroy the name of the Jews.
3f
But as for my nation, this is Israel, even they that cried to God, and were delivered: for the Lord delivered his people, and the Lord rescued us out of all these calamities; and God wrought such signs and great wonders as have not been done among the nations.
3g
Therefore did he ordain two lots, one for the people of God, and one for all the other nations.
3h
And these two lots came for an appointed season, and for a day of judgment, before God, and for all the nations.
3i
And God remembered his people, and vindicated his inheritance.
3k
And they shall observe these days, in the month Adar, on the fourteenth and on the fifteenth day of the month, with an assembly, and joy and gladness before God, throughout the generations for ever among his people Israel.
3l
In the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemy and Cleopatra, Dositheus, who said that he was a priest and a Levite, and Ptolemy his son, brought in the published letter of Phruræ, which they said existed, and which Lysimachus the son of Ptolemy, who was in Jerusalem, had interpreted.
