Aester
1 adar nam barahaven maheene ke terahaven din ko, jis din raja kee agyaa aur niyam poore hone ko the, aur yahoodiyon ke shatra un par prabal hone kee asha rakhte the, parantu isake ulatte yahoodee apane vaairiyon par prabal hua, us din,
2 yahoodee log raja kshayarsha ke sab praanton men apane apane nagar men ikatthe hua, ki jo unakee hani karane ka yatn kare, un par hath chalaae. aur koi unaka samhana n kar saka, kyonaki unaka bhy desh desh ke sab logon ke man men sama gaya tha.
3 varan praanton ke sab haakimon aur aadhaipaatiyon aur pradhaanon aur raja ke karmachaariyon ne yahoodiyon kee sahayata kee, kyonki unake man men mordakaai ka bhy sama gaya tha.
4 mordakaai to raja ke yahan bahut pratishttit tha, aur usakee keettair sab praanton men faail gai varan us purush mordakaai kee mahima baddhtee chalee gai.
5 aur yahoodiyon ne apane sab shatrauon ko talavar se marakar aur ghaat karake nash kar dala, aur apane vaairiyon se apanee ichchha ke anusar bartav kiya.
6 aur shooshan rajagaddh men yahoodiyon ne panch sau manushyon ko ghaat karake nash kiya.
7 aur unhon ne parshandata, dalpon, aspata,
8 porata, adalya, areedata,
9 parmashata, areesaai, areedaai aur vaaijata,
10 arthata hammadata ke putra yahoodiyon ke virodhaee haman ke dason putraen ko bhee ghaat kiya parantu unake dhan ko n lootta.
11 usee din shooshan rajagaddh men ghaat kiae huon kee ginatee raja ko sunai gai.
12 tab raja ne aester ranee se kaha, yahoodiyon ne shooshan rajagaddh hee men panch sau manushy aur haman ke dason putraen ko bhee ghaat karake nash kiya haai fir rajy ke aur aur praanton men unhon ne n jane kya kya kiya hoga ! ab is se aadhaik tera nivedan kya haai? vah bhee poora kiya jaaega. aur too kya mangatee haai? vah bhee tujhe diya jaaega.
13 aester ne kaha, yadi raja ko sveekar ho to shooshan ke yahoodiyon ko aj kee nai kal bhee karane kee agyaa dee jaa, aur haman ke dason putra faansee ke khmbhen par lattkaae jaaen.
14 raja ne kaha, aeesa kiya jaae yah agyaa shooshan men dee gai, aur haman ke dason putra lattkaae gaae.
15 aur shooshan ke yahoodiyon ne adar maheene ke chaudahaven din ko bhee ikatthe hokar shooshan men teen sau purushaen ko ghaat kiya, parantu dhan ko n lootta.
16 rajy ke aur aur praanton ke yahoodee ikatthe hokar apana apana praan bachane ke liye khde hua, aur apane vaairiyon men se pachahattar hajar manushyon ko ghaat karake apane shatrauon se vishraam paya parantu dhan ko n lootta.
17 yah adar maheene ke terahaven din ko kiya gaya, aur chaudahaven din ko unhon ne vishraam karake jevanar kee aur anand ka din ttharaya.
18 parantu shooshan ke yahoodee adar maheene ke terahaven din ko, aur usee maheene ke chaudahaven din ko ikatthe hua, aur usee maheene ke pandrahaven din ko unhon ne vishraam karake jevanar ka aur anand ka din ttharaya.
19 is karan dehatee yahoodee jo bina shaharapanah kee baastaiyon men rahate haai, ve adar maheene ke chaudahaven din ko anand or jevanar aur khushaee aur apas men baaina bhejane ka din niyukt karake manate haain.
20 in baton ka vrattant likhkar, mordakaai ne raja kshayarsha ke sab praanton me, kya nikatt kya door rahanevale sare yahoodiyon ke pas chitthiyan bhejee,
21 aur yah agyaa dee, ki adar maheene ke chaudahaven aur usee maheene ke pandrahaven din ko prati varsha mana karen.
22 jin men yahoodiyon ne apane shatrauon se vishraam paya, aur yah maheena jis men shaek anand se, aur vilap khushaee se badala gaya mana karen aur unako jevanar aur anand aur aek doosare ke pas baaina bhejane or kangalon ko dan dene ke din manen.
23 aur yahoodiyon ne jaaisa arambh kiya tha, aur jaaisa mordakaai ne unhen likha, vaaisa hee karane ka nishchay kar liya.
24 kyonaki hammadata agagee ka putra haman jo sab yahoodiyon ka virodhaee tha, us ne yahoodiyon ke nash karane kee yuktai kee, aur unhen mitta dalane aur nash karane ke liye poor arthata chitthee dalee thee.
25 parantu jab raja ne yah jan liya, tab us ne agyaa dee aur likhvai ki jo dushtt yuaktai haman ne yahoodiyon ke viruddh kee thee vah usee ke sir par palatt aa, tab vah aur usake putra faansee ke kshambhon par lattkaae gaae.
26 is karan un dinon ka nam poor shabd se pooreem rakha gaya. is chitthee kee sab baton ke kara, aur jo kuchh unhon ne is vishay men dekha aur jo kuchh un par beeta tha, usake karan bhee
27 yahoodiyon ne apane apane liye aur apanee santan ke liye, aur un sabhon ke liye bhee jo un men mil gaae the yah attl pran kiya, ki us lekh ke anusar prati varsha usake ttharaae huae samay men ve ye do din manen.
28 aur peeddhee peeddhee, kul kul, praant praant, nagar nagar men ye din smaran kiae aur mane jaaenge. aur pooreem nam ke din yahoodiyon men kabhee n mittenge aur unaka smaran unake vansh se jata n rahega.
29 fir abeehaail kee bettee aester ranee, aur mordakaai yahoodee ne, pooreem ke vishay yah doosaree chitthee bade aadhaikar ke sath likhee.
30 isakee nakalen mordakaai ne kshayarsha ke rajy ke, aek sau sattaison praanton ke sab yahoodiyon ke pas shaantai denevalee aur sachchee baton ke sath is ashay se bhejee,
31 ki pooreem ke un dinon ke vishosh ttharaae huae samayon men mordakaai yahoodee aur aester ranee kee agyaa ke anusar, aur jo yahoodiyon ne apane aur apanee santan ke liye ttan liya tha, usake anusar bhee upavas aur vilap kiae jaaen.
32 aur pooreem ke vishy ka yah niyam aester kee agyaa se bhee sthiar kiya gaya, aur unakee charcha pustak men likhee gai.
