유대인들의 승리
9 12월 13일은 황제의 칙령이 시행되는 날이었다. 그 날에 유다 사람의 원수들은 그들을 짓누를 수 있기를 바랐으나 오히려 유다 사람들이 자기들의 원수들을 짓밟고 일어섰다.
2 유다 사람들이 각 도마다 자기들의 성에 모여 자기들을 해치려는 자들을 죽이려고 하였다. 그러자 다른 모든 민족들이 그들을 두려워하여 맞서는 자들이 없었다.
3 사실 각 도의 총독과 모든 관리와 귀족들과 황제의 행정관들이 모르드개를 두려워하여 유다 사람들을 도왔다.
4 모르드개가 궁전에서 확고한 위치를 굳히고 그의 세력이 점점 강력해지자 그는 온 세상에 명성을 떨치게 되었다.
5 그래서 유다 사람들은 자기들의 원수들에게 마음대로 할 수 있었으며 칼로 그들을 치고 마구 죽였다.
6 그들은 수산성에서 500명을 죽이고
7-10 또 함므다다의 아들이며 유다 사람의 원수인 하만의 열 아들을 모조리 죽였는데 그들은 바산다다, 달본, 아스바다, 보라다, 아달리야, 아리다다, 바마스다, 아리새, 아리대, 그리고 왜사다였다. 그러나 유다 사람들이 그들의 재산에는 손을 대지 않았다.
11 그 날 수산성에서 죽음을 당한 사람의 수를 황제에게 보고하자
12 황제는 황후 에스더에게 이렇게 말하였다. “유다 사람들이 수산성에서만 500명을 죽이고 하만의 열 아들을 모두 죽였소. 그들이 이 곳 수도에서 이렇게 했을 때 다른 도에서는 어떻게 했겠소! 이제 당신이 원하는 것이 무엇이오?
유대인들의 승리당신의 요구를 말해 보시오. 내가 들어주겠소.”
13 그러자 에스더가 대답하였다. “황제 폐하께서 좋게 여기신다면 수산성에 사는 유다 사람들이 내일도 오늘처럼 하게 하시고 하만의 열 아들의 시체를 나무에 매달게 하소서.”
14 황제가 그대로 할 것을 허락하고 수산성에 조서를 내리자 하만의 열 아들의 시체를 나무에 달았다.
15 그 달 14일에도 수산성에 있는 유다 사람들이 모여 300명을 더 죽였으나 그들의 재산에는 손을 대지 않았다.
16 그리고 다른 도에 있는 유다 사람들도 함께 모여 자기들의 생명을 지키고 자기들을 미워하는 원수 75,000명을 죽였다. 그러나 그들도 그 재산에는 손을 대지 않았다.
17 그들은 12월 13일 하루 동안에 그 모든 사람들을 죽였으며 다음날인 14일에는 쉬면서 잔치를 베풀어 그들의 승리를 축하하였다.
18 그러나 수산성에 있는 유다 사람들은 13일은 물론 14일까지 사람을 죽였으므로 15일에 잔치를 베풀고 쉬면서 즐겼다.
19 그러므로 성이 없는 여러 부락에 사는 사람들이 12월 14일을 경축일로 정하고 잔치를 베풀어 즐기며 서로 선물을 주고받았다.
부림절
20 모르드개는 이 모든 사건을 기록하고 페르시아 제국의 원근 각처에 있는 모든 유다 사람들에게 편지를 보내
21 해마다 12월 14일과 15일을 경축일로 지키고
22 유다 사람들이 그 원수들의 손에서 구출되고 그들의 슬픔과 눈물이 기쁨과 즐거움으로 변한 이 역사적인 날에 잔치를 베풀어 즐거워하며 서로 선물을 주고 가난한 자를 구제하라고 지시하였다.
23 그래서 유다 사람들은 모르드개의 지시에 따라 그 경축일을 연례적으로 지켰다.
24 아각 사람 함므다다의 아들이며 모든 유다 사람의 원수인 하만이 유다 사람을 죽일 음모를 꾸미고 제비를 뽑아 그 날짜를 정한 다음 유다 사람을 전멸시키려고 하였으나
25 황제가 그것을 알고 조서를 내려 유다 사람을 죽이려고 한 하만의 악한 음모를 수포로 돌아가게 하고 대신 하만을 교수대에서 처형시켰으며 그의 아들들을 나무에 매달았으므로
26 유다 사람들은 제비를 뽑는다는 뜻의 ‘부르’ 라는 말에서 이틀 동안의 이 경축일을 ‘부림’ 이라고 불렀다. 모르드개가 지시하기도 했지만 그들이 직접 보고 겪었으므로
27 모든 유다 사람들은 이 경축일의 전통을 그들의 후손들과 또 유다 사람이 된 다른 모든 사람들에게 전하기로 합의하고 그 두 날을 매년 정한 때에 반드시 지키기로 결의하였다.
28 그리고 그들은 제국 안의 각 도와 성과 부락 곳곳에 있는 모든 가정이 이 부림절을 자손 대대로 지켜 유다 민족이 당한 그 일을 영원히 잊어버리지 않도록 하겠다고 다짐하였다.
29 그때 아비하일의 딸인 황후 에스더는 모르드개와 함께 편지를 써서 전에 모르드개가 부림절에 대해 쓴 편지 내용을 확정하였다.
30 그 편지는 페르시아 제국 127도에 있는 모든 유다 사람 앞으로 보내졌다. 그 내용은 유다 사람들에게 평화와 안정을 기원하며
31 이 부림절을 매년 정한 때에 지키라는 것이었다. 그래서 유다 사람들은 황후 에스더와 모르드개가 지시한 대로 그들이 금식하며 부르짖던 일을 기억하고 이 명절을 반드시 지키기로 재차 다짐하였다.
32 이와 같이 에스더의 명령이 부림절의 규정을 더욱 확실하게 했으며 그 모든 것은 책에 기록되었다.

The Jews Destroy Their Enemies
9 The thirteenth day of Adar came, the day on which the royal proclamation was to take effect, the day when the enemies of the Jews were hoping to get them in their power. But instead, the Jews triumphed over them. 2 In the Jewish quarter of every city[a] in the empire the Jews organized to attack anyone who tried to harm them. People everywhere were afraid of them, and no one could stand against them. 3 In fact, all the provincial officials—governors, administrators, and royal representatives—helped the Jews because they were all afraid of Mordecai. 4 It was well-known throughout the empire that Mordecai was now a powerful man in the palace and was growing more powerful. 5 So the Jews could do what they wanted with their enemies. They attacked them with swords and slaughtered them.
6 In Susa, the capital city itself, the Jews killed five hundred people. 7-10 Among them were the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews: Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha. However, there was no looting.
11 That same day the number of people killed in Susa was reported to the king. 12 He then said to Queen Esther, “In Susa alone the Jews have killed five hundred people, including Haman's ten sons. What must they have done out in the provinces! What do you want now? You shall have it. Tell me what else you want, and you shall have it.”
13 Esther answered, “If it please Your Majesty, let the Jews in Susa do again tomorrow what they were allowed to do today. And have the bodies of Haman's ten sons hung from the gallows.” 14 The king ordered this to be done, and the proclamation was issued in Susa. The bodies of Haman's ten sons were publicly displayed. 15 On the fourteenth day of Adar the Jews of Susa got together again and killed three hundred more people in the city. But again, they did no looting.
16 The Jews in the provinces also organized and defended themselves. They rid themselves of their enemies by killing seventy-five thousand people who hated them. But they did no looting. 17 This was on the thirteenth day of Adar. On the next day, the fourteenth, there was no more killing, and they made it a joyful day of feasting. 18 The Jews of Susa, however, made the fifteenth a holiday, since they had slaughtered their enemies on the thirteenth and fourteenth and then stopped on the fifteenth. 19 This is why Jews who live in small towns observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a joyous holiday, a time for feasting and giving gifts of food to one another.
The Festival of Purim
20 Mordecai had these events written down and sent letters to all the Jews, near and far, throughout the Persian Empire, 21 telling them to observe the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar as holidays every year. 22 These were the days on which the Jews had rid themselves of their enemies; this was a month that had been turned from a time of grief and despair into a time of joy and happiness. They were told to observe these days with feasts and parties, giving gifts of food to one another and to the poor. 23 So the Jews followed Mordecai's instructions, and the celebration became an annual custom.
24 [b]Haman son of Hammedatha—the descendant of Agag and the enemy of the Jewish people—had cast lots (“purim,” they were called) to determine the day for destroying the Jews; he had planned to wipe them out. 25 But Esther went to the king, and the king issued written orders with the result that Haman suffered the fate he had planned for the Jews—he and his sons were hanged from the gallows. 26 That is why the holidays are called Purim. Because of Mordecai's letter and because of all that had happened to them, 27 the Jews made it a rule for themselves, their descendants, and anyone who might become a Jew, that at the proper time each year these two days would be regularly observed according to Mordecai's instructions. 28 It was resolved that every Jewish family of every future generation in every province and every city should remember and observe the days of Purim for all time to come.
29 Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, along with Mordecai, also wrote a letter, putting her full authority behind the letter about Purim, which Mordecai had written earlier. 30 The letter was addressed to all the Jews, and copies were sent to all the 127 provinces of the Persian Empire. It wished the Jews peace and security 31 and directed them and their descendants to observe the days of Purim at the proper time, just as they had adopted rules for the observance of fasts and times of mourning. This was commanded by both Mordecai and Queen Esther. 32 Esther's command, confirming the rules for Purim, was written down on a scroll.

King James Version
9 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;)
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.
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.
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.
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.
6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
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.
11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
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.
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.
14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
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;
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.
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,
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;
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.
29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
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,
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.
32 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.

9 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar,(A) 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(B) over those who hated them.(C) 2 The Jews assembled in their cities(D) in all the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those determined to destroy them. No one could stand against them,(E) because the people of all the other nationalities were afraid of them. 3 And all the nobles of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and the king’s administrators helped the Jews,(F) because fear of Mordecai had seized them.(G) 4 Mordecai(H) was prominent(I) in the palace; his reputation spread throughout the provinces, and he became more and more powerful.(J)
5 The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them,(K) and they did what they pleased to those who hated them. 6 In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men. 7 They also killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, 8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, 9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha, 10 the ten sons(L) of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews.(M) But they did not lay their hands on the plunder.(N)
11 The number of those killed in the citadel of Susa was reported to the king that same day. 12 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.”(O)
13 “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(P) be impaled(Q) on poles.”
14 So the king commanded that this be done. An edict was issued in Susa, and they impaled(R) the ten sons of Haman. 15 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.(S)
16 Meanwhile, the remainder of the Jews who were in the king’s provinces also assembled to protect themselves and get relief(T) from their enemies.(U) They killed seventy-five thousand of them(V) but did not lay their hands on the plunder.(W) 17 This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth they rested and made it a day of feasting(X) and joy.
18 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 That is why rural Jews—those living in villages—observe the fourteenth of the month of Adar(Y) as a day of joy and feasting, a day for giving presents to each other.(Z)
Purim Established
20 Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces of King Xerxes, near and far, 21 to have them celebrate annually the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar 22 as the time when the Jews got relief(AA) from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration.(AB) He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food(AC) to one another and gifts to the poor.(AD)
23 So the Jews agreed to continue the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them. 24 For Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite,(AE) the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them and had cast the pur(AF) (that is, the lot(AG)) for their ruin and destruction.(AH) 25 But when the plot came to the king’s attention,[a] he issued written orders that the evil scheme Haman had devised against the Jews should come back onto his own head,(AI) and that he and his sons should be impaled(AJ) on poles.(AK) 26 (Therefore these days were called Purim, from the word pur.(AL)) Because of everything written in this letter and because of what they had seen and what had happened to them, 27 the Jews took it on 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 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 fail to be celebrated by the Jews—nor should the memory of these days die out among their descendants.
29 So Queen Esther, daughter of Abihail,(AM) along with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter concerning Purim. 30 And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in the 127 provinces(AN) of Xerxes’ kingdom—words of goodwill and assurance— 31 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(AO) and lamentation.(AP) 32 Esther’s decree confirmed these regulations about Purim, and it was written down in the records.
