The Jews in every city could now gather together and fight for their lives. The king’s order gave them that right. But suppose soldiers from any nation or territory attacked them, their women or children. Then the Jews could destroy, kill and wipe out those soldiers. They could also take the goods that belonged to their enemies.

saying that the king allowed the Jews who were in every city to gather and defend their lives, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate any armed force of any people or province that might attack them, children and women included, and to plunder their goods,

The king’s decree gave the Jews in every city authority to unite to defend their lives. They were allowed to kill, slaughter, and annihilate anyone of any nationality or province who might attack them or their children and wives, and to take the property of their enemies.

The king’s edict gave the Jews in each and every city the right to assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and annihilate every ethnic and provincial army hostile to them, including women and children, and to take their possessions as spoils of war.

In the letters the king granted the Jews who were in each and every city the right to assemble and to defend their lives, to destroy, kill, and eliminate the entire army of any people or province which was going to attack them, including children and women, and to plunder their spoils,

詔書由跑文書的人經手送到王的各省，說要在一日之間、在十二月、就是亞達月、十三日，將所有的猶大人、無論老少幼小或婦女、全都消滅屠殺滅盡，並且奪取他們的資財作為掠物。

甚至他們也不必從田野上去撿柴，也不必從樹林裏去伐木；因為他們必用軍械去燒火；並且必搶那搶他們的人，劫那劫他們的人；這是主永恆主發神諭說的。

惡人拔刀拉弓，要打倒困苦貧窮的人，要屠宰行徑正直的人；他們的刀必刺入自己的心，他們的弓必被折斷。

猶大人在亞哈隨魯王、各省的城裏、就聚集攏來，要下手擊殺那些想法子要害他們的人；沒有人在他們面前能站得住，因為各族之民都起了震懾他們的心。各省的眾官長、藩臣、巡撫、和辦理王事的人因為起了震懾末底改的心，都支助猶大人。因為末底改在朝庭中甚為尊大，他的名聲就傳遍各省，末底改這人遂越來越強大。猶大人用刀擊殺了他們一切的仇敵，屠殺了、殺滅了他們，隨意待那恨惡他們的人。在書珊城宮堡裏猶大人就屠殺了殺滅了五百人。他們又殺了巴珊大他、達分、亞斯帕他、破拉他、亞大利雅、亞利大他、帕瑪斯他、亞利賽、亞利代、瓦耶撒他十個人，就是哈米大他的孫子、哈曼的兒子猶大人的敵人：至於掠物呢、猶大人卻沒有下手去拿。那一天書珊官堡裏被殺的人數呈報到王面前。王對王后以斯帖說：『猶大人在書珊宮堡裏屠殺了殺滅了五百人，又殺了哈曼的十個兒子；至於王其餘的省內、他們作得怎麼樣呢，現在你有甚麼所求，就必賜給你。你還有甚麼所要，就必給你作成。』以斯帖說：『王若以為好，求王明天也准書珊的猶大人照今天的勅令行：將哈曼十個兒子的屍首掛在示眾木架上。』王便吩咐要這樣行：一道勅令傳在書珊；人就把哈曼十個兒子的屍首掛起來。亞達月十四日、在書珊的猶大人也聚集攏來，在書珊殺了三百人；至於掠物、他們卻沒有下手去拿。在王各省其餘的猶大人也都聚集，站起來保護自己的性命，脫離他們的仇敵、得享平安，殺了恨惡他們的人七萬五千名；至於掠物、他們卻沒有下手去拿：

毁滅者巴比倫國啊，照你所待我們的去報復你的、那人有福啊！

永恆主造天、地、海、和其中的萬物；他守忠信到永遠；他為受欺壓的伸冤；他賜食物給饑餓的人。永恆主解開了被囚者的捆綁；永恆主開了瞎子的眼；永恆主將被屈撓的扶起來；永恆主喜愛義人；永恆主保護寄居的，他使孤兒寡婦恢復精神；惡人所行的路、他卻使它彎曲。

我打發他來攻擊不拜上帝之國，吩咐他來擊打我所惱怒的人民，來擄掠擄掠物，來掠劫掠劫物，使他們被踐踏、像街上的泥土一樣。

但是義人必歡喜雀躍；他們必在上帝面前高興歡喜。
