10 — Ester

1And king Assuerus made all the land, and all the islands of the sea tributary.Or il re Assuero avea renduta tributaria tutta la terra, e tutte le isole del mare:BVT king Assuerus made al the earth, and al the ilandes of the sea tributaries.Rex vero Assuerus omnem terram et cunctas maris insulas fecit tributarias: 2And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians:E ne' libri de' Medi, e de' Persiani sta scritto qual fosse la sua possanza, e il dominio, e a quale altezza di grado innalzò Mardocheo;Whose strength and empire, and the dignitie and highnesse, wherewith he exalted Mardocheus, are written in the bookes of the Medes, and of the Persians:cujus fortitudo et imperium, et dignitas atque sublimitas, qua exaltavit Mardochæum, scripta sunt in libris Medorum, atque Persarum: 3And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed.E come Mardocheo di stirpe Giudea era il secondo dopo il re Assuero, e fu grande presso i Giudei, e amato dalla, moltitudine de' suoi fratelli, premuroso del bene del popol suo, e procurando la prosperità della sua stirpe.and how Mardocheus of the Iewes kinred was second after king Assuerus: and great with the Iewes, and acceptable to the people of his bretheren, seking good to his people, and speaking those things, which pertayned to the good of his seede. That which is in the Hebrew I haue expressed most faithfully. And these things that folow, I found written in the common edition,which are conteyned in the greeke tongue and leetters: and in the meane time this chapter was extant after the end of the booke: which according to our custome, we haue marked with an Obelus before it, that is to say, a broch.et quomodo Mardochæus judaici generis secundus a rege Assuero fuerit, et magnus apud Judæos, et acceptabilis plebi fratrum suorum, quærens bona populo suo, et loquens ea quæ ad pacem seminis sui pertinerent. 4Then Mardochai said: God hath done these things.E Mardocheo disse: Opera di Dio è questo.And Mardocheus said: These things are done of God.Dixitque Mardochæus: A Deo facta sunt ista. 5I remember a dream that I saw, which signified these same things: and nothing thereof hath failed.Mi ricordo d'un sogno veduto da me, col quale queste stesse cose eran significate, e nissuna è caduta per terra.I remember the dreame that I saw, signifying these verie things: neither was any of them frustrate.Recordatus sum somnii quod videram, hæc eadem significantis: nec eorum quidquam irritum fuit. 6The little fountain which grew into a river, and was turned into a light, and into the sun, and abounded into many waters, is Esther, whom the king married, and made queen.Vidi un piccol fonte, che crebbe, e si fece un fiume, e si cambiò in un lume, e in un sole, e versò abbondanza grande di acque: questa è Esther, la quale il re prese per moglie, e volle, che fosse regina.The litle fountayne which grew into a riuer, and was turned into light, and into the sunne, and abounded into manie waters, is Esther, whom the king tooke to wife, and made her to be queene.Parvus fons, qui crevit in fluvium, et in lucem solemque conversus est, et in aquas plurimas redundavit: Esther est quam rex accepit uxorem, et voluit esse reginam.

7But the two dragons are I and Aman.I due dragoni, eravamo io, ed Aman.But the two dragons: I am, and Aman.Duo autem dracones: ego sum, et Aman. 8The nations that were assembled are they that endeavoured to destroy the name of the Jews.Le genti adunate sono quelli, che hanno tentato di sterminare il nome Giudeo.The nations, that were assembled: are they that endeuoured to destroy the name of the Iewes.Gentes, quæ convenerant: hi sunt, qui conati sunt delere nomen Judæorum. 9And my nation is Israel, who cried to the Lord, and the Lord saved his people: and he delivered us from all evils, and hath wrought great signs and wonders among the nations:La mia gente è Israello, il quale alzò le strida al Signore, e il Signore salvò il suo popolo, e ci liberò da tutti i mali, e fece segni grandi, e prodigi tralle nazioni:And my nation: is Israel, which cried to our Lord, and our Lord hath saued his people: and he hath deliuered vs from al euils, and hath done great signes and wonders among the nations:Gens autem mea Israël est, quæ clamavit ad Dominum, et salvum fecit Dominus populum suum: liberavitque nos ab omnibus malis, et fecit signa magna atque portenta inter gentes: 10And he commanded that there should be two lots, one of the people of God, and the other of all the nations.E ordinò, che vi fossero due sorti, una pel popolo di Dio, l'altra per tutte le genti.and he commanded that there should be two lottes, one of the people of God, and the other of al Nations.et duas sortes esse præcepit, unam populi Dei, et alteram cunctarum gentium. 11And both lots came to the day appointed already from that time before God to all nations:E l'una, e l'altra sorte venne fuori per tutte le genti dinanzi al Signore nel dì stabilito fin da quel tempo,And both lottes are come to the day appointed euen now from that time before God to al nations:Venitque utraque sors in statutum ex illo jam tempore diem coram Deo universis gentibus: 12And the Lord remembered his people, and had mercy on his inheritance.E il Signore si ricordò del suo popolo, ed ebbe compassione della sua eredità.and our Lord hath remembred his people, and hath had mercie on his inheritance.et recordatus est Dominus populi sui, ac misertus est hæreditatis suæ. 13And these days shall be observed in the month of Adar on the fourteenth, and fifteenth day of the same month, with all diligence, and joy of the people gathered into one assembly, throughout all the generations hereafter of the people of Israel.Onde questi giorni, quattordici, e quindici del mese di Adar saranno solennizzati con ogni studio in allegrezza da tutto il popolo adunato insieme, fino a tanto che saravvi discendenza del popolo d'Israele.And these daies shal be obserued in the moneth of Adar the fourtenth, and fistenth day of the same moneth, with al diligence, and ioy of the people gathered into one assemblie, through out al the generations hereafter of the people of Israel.Et observabuntur dies isti in mense Adar quartadecima et quintadecima die ejusdem mensis, cum omni studio et gaudio, in unum cœtum populi congregati, in cunctas deinceps generationes populi Israël.
