上一章 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 下一章
A A A A A
1
十二月、乃亞達月、十三日、王的諭旨將要舉行、就是猶大人的仇敵盼望轄制他們的日子、猶大人反倒轄制恨他們的人.

On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them.
2
猶大人在亞哈隨魯王各省的城裡聚集、下手擊殺那要害他們的人.無人能敵擋他們、因為各族都懼怕他們。

The Jews assembled in their cities in all the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those seeking their destruction. No one could stand against them, because the people of all the other nationalities were afraid of them.
3
各省的首領總督省長和辦理王事的人、因懼怕末底改、就都幫助猶大人。

And all the nobles of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and the king's administrators helped the Jews, because fear of Mordecai had seized them.
4
末底改在朝中為大、名聲傳遍各省、日漸昌盛。

Mordecai was prominent in the palace; his reputation spread throughout the provinces, and he became more and more powerful.
5
猶大人用刀擊殺一切仇敵、任意殺滅恨他們的人.

The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and they did what they pleased to those who hated them.
6
在書珊城、猶大人殺滅了五百人.

In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
7
又殺巴珊大他、達分、亞斯帕他、

They also killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8
破拉他、亞大利雅、亞利大他、

Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9
帕瑪斯他、亞利賽、亞利代、瓦耶撒他.

Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha,
10
這十人都是哈米大他的孫子、猶大人仇敵哈曼的兒子.猶大人卻沒有下手奪取財物。

the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. But they did not lay their hands on the plunder.
11
當日將書珊城被殺的人數、呈在王前.

The number of those slain in the citadel of Susa was reported to the king that same day.
12
王對王后以斯帖說、猶大人在書珊城殺滅了五百人、又殺了哈曼的十個兒子.在王的各省不知如何呢.現在你要甚麼、我必賜給你、你還求甚麼、也必為你成就。

The king said to Queen Esther, "The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman in the citadel of Susa. What have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? It will also be granted."
13
以斯帖說、王若以為美、求你准書珊的猶大人、明日也照今日的旨意行、並將哈曼十個兒子的屍首、挂在木架上。

"If it pleases the king," Esther answered, "give the Jews in Susa permission to carry out this day's edict tomorrow also, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on gallows."
14
王便允准如此行.旨意傳在書珊.人就把哈曼十個兒子的屍首挂起來了。

So the king commanded that this be done. An edict was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman.
15
亞達月十四日、書珊的猶大人又聚集在書珊、殺了三百人.卻沒有下手奪取財物。

The Jews in Susa came together on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they put to death in Susa three hundred men, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.
16
在王各省其餘的猶大人也都聚集保護性命、殺了恨他們的人七萬五千.卻沒有下手奪取財物.這樣、就脫離仇敵、得享平安。

Meanwhile, the remainder of the Jews who were in the king's provinces also assembled to protect themselves and get relief from their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand of them but did not lay their hands on the plunder.
17
亞達月十三日、行了這事.十四日安息、以這日為設筵歡樂的日子.

This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth they rested and made it a day of feasting and joy.
18
但書珊的猶大人這十三日十四日聚集殺戮仇敵.十五日安息、以這日為設筵歡樂的日子.

The Jews in Susa, however, had assembled on the thirteenth and fourteenth, and then on the fifteenth they rested and made it a day of feasting and joy.
19
所以住無城牆鄉村的猶大人、如今都以亞達月十四日為設筵歡樂的吉日、彼此餽送禮物。

That is why rural Jews--those living in villages--observe the fourteenth of the month of Adar as a day of joy and feasting, a day for giving presents to each other.
20
末底改記錄這事、寫信與亞哈隨魯王各省遠近所有的猶大人、

Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces of King Xerxes, near and far,
21
囑咐他們每年守亞達月十四十五兩日、

to have them celebrate annually the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar
22
以這月的兩日、為猶大人脫離仇敵得平安、轉憂為喜、轉悲為樂的吉日.在這兩日設筵歡樂、彼此餽送禮物、賙濟窮人。

as the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor.
23
於是猶大人、按著末底改所寫與他們的信、應承照初次所守的守為永例。

So the Jews agreed to continue the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them.
24
是因猶大人的仇敵、亞甲族哈米大他的兒子哈曼、設謀殺害猶大人、掣普珥、就是掣籤、為要殺盡滅絕他們。

For Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them and had cast the pur (that is, the lot) for their ruin and destruction.
25
這事報告於王、王便降旨使哈曼謀害猶大人的惡事、歸到他自己的頭上、並吩咐把他和他的眾子、都挂在木架上。

But when the plot came to the king's attention, he issued written orders that the evil scheme Haman had devised against the Jews should come back onto his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26
照著普珥的名字、猶大人就稱這兩日為普珥日.他們因這信上的話、又因所看見所遇見的事、

(Therefore these days were called Purim, from the word pur .) Because of everything written in this letter and because of what they had seen and what had happened to them,
27
就應承自己與後裔、並歸附他們的人、每年按時必守這兩日、永遠不廢。

the Jews took it upon themselves to establish the custom that they and their descendants and all who join them should without fail observe these two days every year, in the way prescribed and at the time appointed.
28
各省各城、家家戶戶、世世代代、紀念遵守這兩日、使這普珥日在猶大人中不可廢掉.在他們後裔中也不可忘記。

These days should be remembered and observed in every generation by every family, and in every province and in every city. And these days of Purim should never cease to be celebrated by the Jews, nor should the memory of them die out among their descendants.
29
亞比孩的女兒王后以斯帖和猶大人末底改以全權寫第二封信、堅囑猶大人守這普珥日.

So Queen Esther, daughter of Abihail, along with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter concerning Purim.
30
用和平誠實話、寫信給亞哈隨魯王國中一百二十七省所有的猶大人、

And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Xerxes--words of goodwill and assurance--
31
勸他們按時守這普珥日、禁食呼求、是照猶大人末底改和王后以斯帖所囑咐的、也照猶大人為自己與後裔所應承的。

to establish these days of Purim at their designated times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had decreed for them, and as they had established for themselves and their descendants in regard to their times of fasting and lamentation.
32
以斯帖命定守普珥日.這事也記錄在書上。

Esther's decree confirmed these regulations about Purim, and it was written down in the records.
