1 På den trettende Dag i den tolvte Måned, det er Adar Måned, det er den Dag, da Kongens Befaling og Forordning skulde udføres, den Dag, da Jødernes Fjender havde håbet at kunne overvælde dem, medens det nu omvendt blev Jøderne, der på den Dag skulde overvælde deres Avindsmænd,
1 Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar), on the thirteenth day when the king’s command and edict were about to be executed, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, it was turned to the contrary so that the Jews themselves gained the mastery over those who hated them.
2 sluttede Jøderne sig sammen i deres Byer i alle Kong Ahasverus's Lande for at lægge Hånd på dem, der vilde dem ondt; og ingen holdt Stand imod dem, thi Frygt for dem var faldet på alle Folkene.
2 The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm; and no one could stand before them, for the dread of them had fallen on all the peoples.
3 Og alle Landenes Fyrster og Satraperne og Statholderne og de kongelige Embedsmænd hjalp Jøderne, thi Frygt for Mordokaj var faldet på dem.
3 Even all the princes of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and those who were doing the king’s business assisted the Jews, because the dread of Mordecai had fallen on them.
12 Da sagde Kongen til Dronning Ester: I Borgen Susan har Jøderne dræbt og tilintetgjort 500 Mand, også Hamans ti Sønner; hvad må de da ikke have gjort i de andre kongelige Landsdele! Dog, hvad er din Bøn? Du skal få den opfyldt.
12 The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman at the citadel in Susa. What then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall even be granted you. And what is your further request? It shall also be done.”
13 Ester svarede: Hvis Kongen synes, lad det så også i Morgen tillades Jøderne i Susan at handle som i Dag og lad Hamans ti Sønner blive hængt op i Galger!
13 Then said Esther, “If it pleases the king, let tomorrow also be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do according to the edict of today; and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”
15 Så sluttede Jøderne i Susan sig også sammen på den fjortende Dag i Adar Måned og dræbte 300 Mand i Susan. Men efter Byttet rakte de ikke Hænderne ud.
15 The Jews who were in Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and killed three hundred men in Susa, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.
16 Men også de andre Jøder i Kongens Lande sluttede sig sammen og værgede deres Liv og tog Hævn over deres Fjenderog dræbte blandt deres Avindsmænd 75000
16 Now the rest of the Jews who were in the king’s provinces assembled, to defend their lives and rid themselves of their enemies, and kill 75,000 of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.
18 Men Jøderne i Susan sluttede sig sammen både den trettende og fjortende Dag i Måoeden og hvilede på den femtende, og den gjorde de til Gæstebuds- og Glædesdag.
18 But the Jews who were in Susa assembled on the thirteenth and the fourteenth of the same month, and they rested on the fifteenth day and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.
19 Derfor fejrer Jøderne på Landet, de, der bor i Landsbyerne, den fjortende Dag i Adar Måned som en Glædes-, Gæstebuds- og Festdag, på hvilken de sender hverandre Gaver.
19 Therefore the Jews of the rural areas, who live in the rural towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a holiday for rejoicing and feasting and sending portions of food to one another.
22 de Dage, da Jøderne fik Ro for deres Fjender, og den Måned, da deres Trængsel vendtes til Glæde og deres Sorg til en Festdag - at fejre dem som Gæstebuds- og Glædesdage, på hvilke de skulde sende hverandre af deres Mad og de fattige Gaver.
22 because on those days the Jews rid themselves of their enemies, and it was a month which was turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and rejoicing and sending portions of food to one another and gifts to the poor.
24 Fordi Agagiten Haman, Hammedatas Søn, alle Jøders Fjende, havde lagt Råd op imod Jøderne om at tilintetgøre dem og kastet Pur - det er Lod - for at ødelægge og tilintetgøre dem,
24 For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had schemed against the Jews to destroy them and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to disturb them and destroy them.
25 men Kongen havde, da det kom ham for Øre, givet skriftlig Befaling til, at det onde Råd, Homan havde lagt op mod Jøderne, skulde falde tilbage på hans eget Hoved, og ladet ham og hans Sønner hænge i Galgen,
25 But when it came to the king’s attention, he commanded by letter that his wicked scheme which he had devised against the Jews, should return on his own head and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 derfor kaldte man de bage Purim efter Ordet Pur. Og derfor, på Grund af alt, hvad Brevet indeholdt, og hvad de selv havde oplevet i så Henseende, og hvad der var tilstødt dem,
26 Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. And because of the instructions in this letter, both what they had seen in this regard and what had happened to them,
27 gjorde Jøderne det til en fast Skik og Brug for sig selv, deres Efterkommere og alle, som sluttede sig til dem, at de ubrødeligt År efter År skulde fejre de to Dage efter Forskrifterne om dem og til den fastsatte Tid,
27 the Jews established and made a custom for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them, so that they would not fail to celebrate these two days according to their regulation and according to their appointed time annually.
28 og at de Dage skulde ihukommes og fejres i alle Tidsaldre og Slægter, i hvert Laod og hver By, så at disse Purimsdage aldrig skulde gå af Brug hos Jøderne og deres Ihukommelse aldrig ophøre blandt deres Efterkommere.
28 So these days were to be remembered and celebrated throughout every generation, every family, every province and every city; and these days of Purim were not to fail from among the Jews, or their memory fade from their descendants.
31 om at holde disse Purimsdage i Hævd på den fastsatte Tid, således som Jøden Mordokaj og Dronning Ester havde gjort det til Pligt for dem, og således som de havde bundet sig selv og deres Efterkommere til de foreskrevne Faster og Klageråb.
31 to establish these days of Purim at their appointed times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established for them, and just as they had established for themselves and for their descendants with instructions for their times of fasting and their lamentations.
