Haman’s Plot against the Jews
1After these events King Ahasuerus honored Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and promoted him and established his authority over all the officials who were with him. 2All the king’s servants who were at the king’s gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman; for so the king had commanded regarding him. But Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage. 3Then the king’s servants who were at the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why are you violating the king’s command?” 4Now it was when they had spoken daily to him and he would not listen to them, that they told Haman to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew. 5When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, Haman was filled with rage. 6But he considered it beneath his dignity to kill Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; so Haman sought to annihilate all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were found throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
1這事以後,亞哈隨魯王抬舉亞甲族哈米大他的兒子哈曼,使他高升,叫他的爵位超過與他同事的一切臣宰。2在朝門的一切臣僕都跪拜哈曼,因為王如此吩咐;惟獨末底改不跪不拜。3在朝門的臣僕問末底改說:「你為何違背王的命令呢?」4他們天天勸他,他還是不聽,他們就告訴哈曼,要看末底改的事站得住站不住,因他已經告訴他們自己是猶大人。5哈曼見末底改不跪不拜,他就怒氣填胸。6他們已將末底改的本族告訴哈曼;他以為下手害末底改一人是小事,就要滅絕亞哈隨魯王通國所有的猶大人,就是末底改的本族。
7In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, Pur, that is the lot, was cast before Haman from day to day and from month to month, until the twelfth month, that is the month Adar. 8Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of all other people and they do not comply with the king’s laws, so it is not in the king’s interest to let them remain. 9“If it is pleasing to the king, let it be decreed that they be eliminated, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who carry out the king’s business, to put into the king’s treasuries.” 10Then the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews. 11And the king said to Haman, “The silver is yours, and the people also, to do with them as you please.”
7亞哈隨魯王十二年正月,就是尼散月,人在哈曼面前,按日日月月掣普珥,就是掣籤,要定何月何日為吉,擇定了十二月,就是亞達月。8哈曼對亞哈隨魯王說:「有一種民散居在王國各省的民中;他們的律例與萬民的律例不同,也不守王的律例,所以容留他們與王無益。9王若以為美,請下旨意滅絕他們;我就捐一萬他連得銀子交給掌管國帑的人,納入王的府庫。」10於是王從自己手上摘下戒指給猶大人的仇敵─亞甲族哈米大他的兒子哈曼。11王對哈曼說:「這銀子仍賜給你,這民也交給你,你可以隨意待他們。」
12Then the king’s scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and it was written just as Haman commanded to the king’s satraps, to the governors who were over each province and to the officials of each people, each province according to its script, each people according to its language, being written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king’s signet ring. 13Letters were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces to annihilate, kill, and destroy all the Jews, both young and old, women and children, in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to seize their possessions as plunder. 14A copy of the edict to be issued as law in every province was published to all the peoples so that they would be ready for this day. 15The couriers went out, speeded by the king’s order while the decree was issued at the citadel in Susa; and while the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was agitated.
12正月十三日,就召了王的書記來,照著哈曼一切所吩咐的,用各省的文字、各族的方言,奉亞哈隨魯王的名寫旨意,傳與總督和各省的省長,並各族的首領;又用王的戒指蓋印,13交給驛卒傳到王的各省,吩咐將猶大人,無論老少婦女孩子,在一日之間,十二月,就是亞達月十三日,全然剪除,殺戮滅絕,並奪他們的財為掠物。14抄錄這旨意,頒行各省,宣告各族,使他們預備等候那日。15驛卒奉王命急忙起行,旨意也傳遍書珊城。王同哈曼坐下飲酒,書珊城的民卻都慌亂。
