Kniha Ester

1 (KJV) After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
1 (B21) Po nějaké době král Xerxes poctil Hamana, syna Hamedaty Agagovce. Povýšil jej a jeho křeslo vyzvedl nade všechny ostatní velmože.

1 (KJV) After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
2 (B21) Všichni dvořané v královském paláci před Hamanem klekali a klaněli se, neboť tak znělo královské nařízení. Jen Mordechaj neklekal a neklaněl se.

2 (KJV) And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
3 (B21) Dvořané z královského paláce Mordechajovi říkali: "Proč porušuješ královské nařízení?"

2 (KJV) And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
4 (B21) Říkali mu to den co den, ale když neposlouchal, pověděli to Hamanovi. Chtěli vidět, zda to Mordechajovi projde; řekl jim totiž, že je Žid.

3 (KJV) Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
5 (B21) Samotný Haman si pak všiml, že Mordechaj před ním nekleká ani se neklaní. Hamana to tak rozlítilo,

3 (KJV) Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
6 (B21) že mu připadalo málo vztáhnout ruku jen na Mordechaje. Když se dozvěděl Mordechajovu národnost, usmyslel si, že vyhladí všechny Židy v celé Xerxově říši, všechen ten mordechajský národ.

4 (KJV) Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
7 (B21) Prvního měsíce zvaného nísan, dvanáctého roku krále Xerxe, nechal Haman házet pur (totiž los), aby vybral vhodný den a měsíc. Los připadl na dvanáctý měsíc zvaný adar.

4 (KJV) Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
8 (B21) Haman potom řekl králi Xerxovi: "Je tu jeden národ mezi národy všech provincií tvé říše, roztroušený, ale oddělený. Jejich zákony jsou od všech národů odlišné a královské zákony nedodržují. Není v králově zájmu nadále je trpět.

5 (KJV) And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
9 (B21) Kdyby král ráčil, může se napsat, ať jsou vyhlazeni. Osobně vyplatím správcům deset tisíc talentů stříbra, aby je uložili do králových pokladnic."

5 (KJV) And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
10 (B21) Nato si král sňal z ruky pečetní prsten a dal jej tomu židobijci Hamanovi, synu Hamedaty Agagovce.

6 (KJV) And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
11 (B21) "Stříbro je tvé," řekl král Hamanovi, "a stejně tak ten lid. Udělej s ním, co chceš."

6 (KJV) And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
12 (B21) Třináctého dne prvního měsíce byli svoláni královští písaři. Přesně podle Hamanových pokynů se napsalo královým satrapům, místodržícím každé jednotlivé provincie a představitelům jednoho každého národa. Do každé provincie se psalo jejich písmem, jednomu každému národu jejich jazykem. Psalo se jménem krále Xerxe a pečetilo se královým prstenem.

7 (KJV) In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
13 (B21) Do všech provincií říše byli vysláni poslové s listy: Všechny Židy, mladé i staré, ženy i nemluvňata, je třeba zničit, pobít a vyhladit, a to v jediný den: třináctého dne dvanáctého měsíce zvaného adar. Co kdo po nich ukořistí, ať si nechá.

7 (KJV) In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
14 (B21) Tento edikt budiž zařazen mezi zákony v každé jednotlivé provincii a vyhlášen ve všech národech, aby se mohli na ten den připravit.

8 (KJV) And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.
15 (B21) Poslové na králův rozkaz neprodleně vyrazili a zákon byl vyhlášen i v súském paláci. Král s Hamanem pak zasedli a popíjeli, ale ve městě Súsách zavládl rozruch.

8 (KJV) And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.

9 (KJV) If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.

12 (KJV) Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
