and gave it to Mordecai.

for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the king’s ring cannot be revoked.”

וַיִּקָּרְא֣וּ סֹפְרֵֽי־ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ

The king’s scribes were summoned

בָּֽעֵת־ הַ֠הִיא בַּחֹ֨דֶשׁ הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֜י הוּא־ חֹ֣דֶשׁ סִיוָ֗ן בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֣ה וְעֶשְׂרִים֮ בּוֹ֒

at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty- third day.

וַיִּכָּתֵ֣ב

And an edict was written,

כְּֽכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ צִוָּ֣ה מָרְדֳּכַ֣י אֶל־ הַיְּהוּדִ֡ים וְאֶ֣ל הָאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנִֽים־ וְהַפַּחוֹת֩ וְשָׂרֵ֨י הַמְּדִינ֜וֹת אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ מֵהֹ֣דּוּ וְעַד־ כּ֗וּשׁ שֶׁ֣בַע וְעֶשְׂרִ֤ים וּמֵאָה֙ מְדִינָ֔ה מְדִינָ֤ה וּמְדִינָה֙ כִּכְתָבָ֔הּ וְעַ֥ם וָעָ֖ם כִּלְשֹׁנ֑וֹ וְאֶ֨ל־ הַיְּהוּדִ֔ים כִּכְתָבָ֖ם וְכִלְשׁוֹנָֽם׃

according to all that Mordecai commanded concerning the Jews, to the satraps and the governors and the officials of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to each province in its own script and to each people in its own language, and also to the Jews in their script and their language.

וַיִּכְתֹּ֗ב בְּשֵׁם֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹ֔שׁ

And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus

וַיַּחְתֹּ֖ם בְּטַבַּ֣עַת הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ

and sealed it with the king’s signet ring.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח סְפָרִ֡ים בְּיַד֩ הָרָצִ֨ים בַּסּוּסִ֜ים רֹכְבֵ֤י הָרֶ֙כֶשׁ֙ הָֽאֲחַשְׁתְּרָנִ֔ים בְּנֵ֖י הָֽרַמָּכִֽים׃

Then he sent the letters by mounted couriers riding on swift horses that were used in the king’s service, bred from the royal stud,

אֲשֶׁר֩ נָתַ֨ן הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ לַיְּהוּדִ֣ים ׀

saying that the king allowed the Jews

אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּכָל־ עִיר־ וָעִ֗יר

who were in every city

לְהִקָּהֵל֮ וְלַעֲמֹ֣ד עַל־ נַפְשָׁם֒

to gather and defend their lives,

לְהַשְׁמִיד֩

to destroy,

וְלַהֲרֹ֨ג

to kill,

וּלְאַבֵּ֜ד אֶת־ כָּל־ חֵ֨יל עַ֧ם וּמְדִינָ֛ה הַצָּרִ֥ים אֹתָ֖ם טַ֣ף וְנָשִׁ֑ים

and to annihilate any armed force of any people or province that might attack them, children and women included,

וּשְׁלָלָ֖ם לָבֽוֹז׃

and to plunder their goods,

בְּי֣וֹם אֶחָ֔ד

on one day

בְּכָל־ מְדִינ֖וֹת הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵר֑וֹשׁ

throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus,

בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֥ה עָשָׂ֛ר לְחֹ֥דֶשׁ שְׁנֵים־ עָשָׂ֖ר הוּא־ חֹ֥דֶשׁ אֲדָֽר׃

on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

A copy of what was written was to be issued as a decree in every province, being publicly displayed to all peoples,

וְלִהְי֨וֹת היהודיים [הַיְּהוּדִ֤ים] עתודים [עֲתִידִים֙] לַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה

and the Jews were to be ready on that day

to take vengeance on their enemies.

So the couriers, mounted on their swift horses that were used in the king’s service, rode out hurriedly, urged by the king’s command.

וְהַדָּ֥ת נִתְּנָ֖ה בְּשׁוּשַׁ֥ן הַבִּירָֽה׃ פ

And the decree was issued in Susa the citadel.

וּמָרְדֳּכַ֞י יָצָ֣א ׀ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ

Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king

בִּלְב֤וּשׁ מַלְכוּת֙ תְּכֵ֣לֶת וָח֔וּר וַעֲטֶ֤רֶת זָהָב֙ גְּדוֹלָ֔ה וְתַכְרִ֥יךְ בּ֖וּץ וְאַרְגָּמָ֑ן

in royal robes of blue and white, with a great golden crown and a robe of fine linen and purple,

וְהָעִ֣יר שׁוּשָׁ֔ן צָהֲלָ֖ה

and the city of Susa shouted

וְשָׂמֵֽחָה׃

and rejoiced.

לַיְּהוּדִ֕ים הָֽיְתָ֥ה אוֹרָ֖ה וְשִׂמְחָ֑ה וְשָׂשֹׂ֖ן וִיקָֽר׃

The Jews had light and gladness and joy and honor.

וּבְכָל־ מְדִינָ֨ה וּמְדִינָ֜ה וּבְכָל־ עִ֣יר וָעִ֗יר מְקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר דְּבַר־ הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ וְדָתוֹ֙ מַגִּ֔יעַ

And in every province and in every city, wherever the king’s command and his edict reached,

שִׂמְחָ֤ה וְשָׂשׂוֹן֙ לַיְּהוּדִ֔ים מִשְׁתֶּ֖ה וְי֣וֹם ט֑וֹב

there was gladness and joy among the Jews, a feast and a holiday.

וְרַבִּ֞ים מֵֽעַמֵּ֤י הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ מִֽתְיַהֲדִ֔ים

And many from the peoples of the country declared themselves Jews,

כִּֽי־ נָפַ֥ל פַּֽחַד־ הַיְּהוּדִ֖ים עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃

for fear of the Jews had fallen on them.
