Chapter 8
1 usee din raja kshayarsha ne yahoodiyon ke virodhaee haman ka gharabar ester ranee ko de diya. aur mordakaai raja ke samhane aya, kyonki ester ne raja ko bataya tha, ki us se usaka kya nata tha
2 tab raja ne apanee vah angoottee jo us ne haman se le lee thee, utar kar, mordakaai ko de dee. aur aesater ne mordakaai ko haman ke gharabar par adhaikaree niyukt kar diya.
3 fir aester doosaree bar raja se bolee aur usake panv par gir, ansoo baha bahakar us se gidgidakar bintee kee, ki agagee haman kee burai aur yahoodiyon kee haani kee usakee yuktai nishfal kee jaae.
4 tab raja ne aester kee or sone ka rajadand baddhaya.
5 tab aester uttkar raja ke samhane khdee hui aur kahane lagee ki yadi raja ko sveekar ho aur vah mujh se prasann haai aur yah bat usako tteek jan pade, aur maain bhee usako achchhee lagatee hoo, to jo chitthiyan hammadata agagee ke putra haman ne raja ke sab praanton ke yahoodiyon ko nash karane kee yuktai karake likhai thee, unako palattne ke liye likha jaae.
6 kyonaki maain apane jaati ke logon par padnevalee us vipaattai ko kis reeti se dekh sakoongee? aur maain apane bhaiyon ke vinash ko kyonkar dekh sakoongee?
7 tab raja kshayarsha ne aester ranee se aur mordakaai yahoodee se kaha, maain haman ka gharabar to aester ko de chuka hoo, aur vah faansee ke khmbhe par lattka diya gaya haai, isaliye ki us ne yahoodiyon par hath baddhaya tha.
8 so tum apanee samajh ke anusar raja ke nam se yahoodiyon ke nam par likho, aur raja kee angoottee kee chhap bhee lagao kyonki jo chitthee raja ke nam se likhee jaa, aur us par usakee angoottee kee chhap lagai jaa, usako koi bhee palatt naheen sakata.
9 so usee samay arthata seevan nam teesare maheene ke teisaven din ko raja ke lekhk bulavaae gaae aur jis jis bat kee agyaa mordakaai ne unhen dee thee use yahoodiyon aur aadhaipaatiyon aur hindustan se lekar koosh tak, jo aek sau sattais praant haai, un sabhon ke aadhaipaatiyon aur haakimon ko aek aek praant ke aksharon men aur aek aek desh ke logon kee bhasha me, aur yahoodiyon ko unake aksharon aur bhasha men likhee gai.
10 mordakaai ne raja kshayarsha ke nam se chitthiyan likhakar, aur un par raja kee angoottee kee chhap lagakar, veg chalanevale sarakaree ghaedo, khchcharon aur sandniyon kee dak lagakar, harakaron ke hath bhej deen.
11 in chitthiyon men sab nagaron ke yahoodiyon ko raja kee or se anumati dee gai, ki ve ikatthe hon aur apana apana praan bachane ke liye taaiyar hokar, jis jati va praant se log anyay karake unako va unakee striayon aur balabachchon ko dukh dena chahe, unako vidhvansaghaat aur nash kare, aur unakee dhan sammattai loott len.
12 aur yah raja kshayarsha ke sab praanton men aek hee din men kiya jaa, arthata adar nam barahaven maheene ke terahaven din ko.
13 is agyaa ke lekh kee nakale, samast praanton men sab deshon ke logon ke pas khulee hui bhejee gai taaki yahoodee us din apane shatrauon se palatta lene ko taaiyar rahen.
14 so harakare veg chalanevale sarakaree ghaedon par savar hokar, raja kee agyaa se fauta karake jaldee chale gaa, aur yah agyaa shooshan rajagaddh men dee gai thee.
15 tab mordakaai neele aur shvet rang ke rajakeey vasr paahine aur sir par sone ka bada mumutt dhare huae aur sookshamasan aur baainjanee rang ka baga paahine hua, raja ke sammukh se nikala, aur shooshan nagar ke log anand ke mare lalakar utte.
16 aur yahoodiyon ko anand aur harsha hua aur unakee badee praatishtta hui.
17 aur jis jis praant, aur jis jis nagar me, jahan kaheen raja kee agyaa aur niyam pahunche, vahan vahan yahoodiyon ko anand aur harsha hua, aur unhon ne jevanar karake us din ko khushaee ka din mana. aur us desh ke logon men se bahut log yahoodee ban gaa, kyonki unake man men yahoodiyon ka dr sama gaya tha.
