And they said, H559 (QalImpf) Let us rise up H6965 (QalImpf) and build. H1129 (QalPerf) So they strengthened H2388 (PielImpf) their hands H3027 for this good H2896 work.

και απηγγειλα αυτοις την χειρα του θεου η εστιν αγαθη επ εμε και τους λογους του βασιλεως ους ειπεν μοι και ειπα αναστωμεν και οικοδομησωμεν και εκραταιωθησαν αι χειρες αυτων εις αγαθον

H6213 (QalActPtc) will ye rebel H4775 (QalActPtc) against the king? H4428

και ηκουσεν σαναβαλλατ ο αρωνι και τωβια ο δουλος ο αμμωνι και γησαμ ο αραβι και εξεγελασαν ημας και ηλθον εφ ημας και ειπαν τι το ρημα τουτο ο υμεις ποιειτε η επι τον βασιλεα υμεις αποστατειτε

Then I answered them, and said to them, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem.”

Then answered H7725 (HiphImpf) H1697 I them, and said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, The God H430 of heaven, H8064 he will prosper H6743 (HiphImpf) us; therefore we his servants H5650 will arise H6965 (QalImpf) and build: H1129 (QalPerf) but ye have no portion, H2506 nor right, H6666 nor memorial, H2146 in Jerusalem. H3389

And I said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, We after our ability H1767 have redeemed H7069 (QalPerf) our brethren H251 the Jews, H3064 which were sold H4376 (NiphPtc) unto the heathen; H1471 and will ye even sell H4376 (QalImpf) your brethren? H251 or shall they be sold H4376 (NiphPerf) unto us? Then held they their peace, H2790 (HiphImpf) and found H4672 (QalPerf) nothing H1697 to answer.

και ειπα αυτοις ημεις κεκτημεθα τους αδελφους ημων τους ιουδαιους τους πωλουμενους τοις εθνεσιν εν εκουσιω ημων και υμεις πωλειτε τους αδελφους υμων και ησυχασαν και ουχ ευροσαν λογον

Also I said, “The thing that you do is not good. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

Also I said, H559 (QalImpf) It is not good H2896 that H1697 ye do: H6213 (QalActPtc) ought ye not to walk H3212 (QalImpf) in the fear H3374 of our God H430 because of the reproach H2781 of the heathen H1471 our enemies? H341 (QalActPtc)

και ειπα ουκ αγαθος ο λογος ον υμεις ποιειτε ουχ ουτως εν φοβω θεου ημων απελευσεσθε απο ονειδισμου των εθνων των εχθρων ημων

Then they said, “We will restore them, and will require nothing of them. We will do so, even as you say.” Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.

Then said H559 (QalImpf) they, We will restore H7725 (HiphImpf) them, and will require H1245 (PielImpf) nothing of them; so will we do H6213 (QalImpf) as thou sayest. H559 (QalActPtc) Then I called H7121 (QalImpf) the priests, H3548 and took an oath H7650 (HiphImpf) of them, that they should do H6213 (QalInf) according to this promise. H1697

και ειπαν αποδωσομεν και παρ αυτων ου ζητησομεν ουτως ποιησομεν καθως συ λεγεις και εκαλεσα τους ιερεις και ωρκισα αυτους ποιησαι ως το ρημα τουτο

Also I shook out my lap, and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that doesn’t perform this promise; even may he be shaken out and emptied like this.” All the assembly said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh. The people did according to this promise.

Also I shook H5287 (QalPerf) my lap, H2684 and said, H559 (QalImpf) So God H430 shake out H5287 (PielImpf) every man H376 from his house, H1004 and from his labour, H3018 that performeth H6965 (HiphImpf) not this promise, H1697 even thus be he shaken out, H5287 (QalPasPtc) and emptied.^§ H7386 And all the congregation H6951 said, H559 (QalImpf) Amen, H543 and praised H1984 (PielImpf) the Lord.

And all Israel H3478 in the days H3117 of Zerubbabel, H2216 and in the days H3117 of Nehemiah, H5166 gave H5414 (QalActPtc) the portions H4521 of the singers H7891 (PolePtc) and the porters, H7778 every day H3117 his portion: H1697 and they sanctified° H6942 (HiphPtc) holy things unto the Levites; H3881 and the Levites H3881 sanctified H6942 (HiphPtc) them unto the children H1121 of Aaron. H175

Nehemiah 12:47 That is, set apart

και πας ισραηλ εν ημεραις ζοροβαβελ διδοντες μεριδας των αδοντων και των πυλωρων λογον ημερας εν ημερα αυτου και αγιαζοντες τοις λευιταις και οι λευιται αγιαζοντες τοις υιοις ααρων

Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the Sabbath day?

Then I contended H7378 (QalImpf) with the nobles H2715 of Judah, H3063 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, What evil H7451 thing H1697 is this that ye do, H6213 (QalActPtc) and profane H2490 (PielPtc) the sabbath H7676 day? H3117

και εμαχεσαμην τοις υιοις ιουδα τοις ελευθεροις και ειπα αυτοις τις ο λογος ουτος ο πονηρος ον υμεις ποιειτε και βεβηλουτε την ημεραν του σαββατου

But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the eunuchs. Therefore the king was very angry, and his anger burned in him.

But the queen H4436 Vashti H2060 refused H3985 (PielImpf) to come H935 (QalInf) at the king’s H4428 commandment H1697 by H3027 his chamberlains:^§ H5631 therefore was the king H4428 very H3966 wroth, H7107 (QalImpf) and his anger H2534 burned H1197 (QalPerf) in him.

Esther 1:12 Heb. which was by the hand of his Eunuchs

και ουκ εισηκουσεν αυτου αστιν η βασιλισσα ελθειν μετα των ευνουχων και ελυπηθη ο βασιλευς και ωργισθη

Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times (for it was the king’s custom to consult those who knew law and judgment;

Then the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) to the wise men, H2450 which knew H3045 (QalActPtc) the times, H6256 (for so was the king’s H4428 manner H1697 toward H6440 all that knew H3045 (QalActPtc) law H1881 and judgment: H1779

και ειπεν τοις φιλοις αυτου κατα ταυτα ελαλησεν αστιν ποιησατε ουν περι τουτου νομον και κρισιν

For this deed of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to show contempt for their husbands when it is reported, ‘King Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she didn’t come.’

For this deed H1697 of the queen H4436 shall come abroad H3318 (QalImpf) unto all women, H802 so that they shall despise H959 (HiphInf) their husbands H1167 in their eyes, H5869 when it shall be reported, H559 (QalInf) The king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 commanded H559 (QalPerf) Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 to be brought in H935 (HiphInf) before H6440 him, but she came H935 (QalPerf) not.

και γαρ διηγησατο αυτοις τα ρηματα της βασιλισσης και ως αντειπεν τω βασιλει ως ουν αντειπεν τω βασιλει αρταξερξη

Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen’s deed will tell all the king’s princes. This will cause much contempt and wrath.

Likewise shall the ladies H8282 of Persia H6539 and Media H4074 say H559 (QalImpf) this day H3117 unto all the king’s H4428 princes, H8269 which have heard H8085 (QalPerf) of the deed H1697 of the queen. H4436 Thus shall there arise too much H1767 contempt H963 and wrath. H7110

ουτως σημερον αι τυραννιδες αι λοιπαι των αρχοντων περσων και μηδων ακουσασαι τα τω βασιλει λεχθεντα υπ αυτης τολμησουσιν ομοιως ατιμασαι τους ανδρας αυτων

“If it pleases the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it cannot be altered, that Vashti may never again come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another who is better than she.

If it please H2895 (QalPerf) the king,^§ H4428 let there go H3318 (QalImpf) a royal H4438 commandment H1697 from him,^§ H6440 and let it be written H3789 (NiphImpf) among the laws H1881 of the Persians H6539 and the Medes, H4074 that it be not altered,^§ H5674 (QalImpf) That Vashti H2060 come H935 (QalImpf) no more before H6440 king H4428 Ahasuerus; H325 and let the king H4428 give H5414 (QalImpf) her royal estate H4438 unto another^§ H7468 that is better H2896 than she.

Esther 1:19a Heb. if it be good with the king
Esther 1:19b Heb. from before him
Esther 1:19c Heb. that it pass not away
Esther 1:19d Heb. unto her companion

ει ουν δοκει τω βασιλει προσταξατω βασιλικον και γραφητω κατα τους νομους μηδων και περσων και μη αλλως χρησασθω μηδε εισελθατω ετι η βασιλισσα προς αυτον και την βασιλειαν αυτης δοτω ο βασιλευς γυναικι κρειττονι αυτης

This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Memucan:

And the saying H1697 pleased H3190 (QalImpf) H5869 the king^§ H4428 and the princes; H8269 and the king H4428 did H6213 (QalImpf) according to the word H1697 of Memucan: H4462

Esther 1:21 Heb. was good in the eyes of the king

και ηρεσεν ο λογος τω βασιλει και τοις αρχουσι και εποιησεν ο βασιλευς καθα ελαλησεν ο μουχαιος

After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

After H310 these things, H1697 when the wrath H2534 of king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 was appeased, H7918 (QalInf) he remembered H2142 (QalPerf) Vashti, H2060 and what she had done, H6213 (QalPerf) and what was decreed H1504 (NiphPerf) against her.

και μετα τους λογους τουτους εκοπασεν ο βασιλευς του θυμου και ουκετι εμνησθη της αστιν μνημονευων οια ελαλησεν και ως κατεκρινεν αυτην

and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.” The thing pleased the king, and he did so.

and let the maiden H5291 which pleaseth H3190 (QalImpf) H5869 the king H4428 be queen H4427 (QalImpf) instead of Vashti. H2060 And the thing H1697 pleased H3190 (QalImpf) H5869 the king; H4428 and he did so. H6213 (QalImpf)

και η γυνη η αν αρεση τω βασιλει βασιλευσει αντι αστιν και ηρεσεν τω βασιλει το πραγμα και εποιησεν ουτως

So, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Susa, to the custody of Hegai, Esther was taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

So it came to pass, when the king’s H4428 commandment H1697 and his decree H1881 was heard, H8085 (NiphInf) and when many H7227 maidens H5291 were gathered together H6908 (NiphInf) unto Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002 to the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 that Esther H635 was brought H3947 (NiphImpf) also unto the king’s H4428 house, H1004 to the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 keeper H8104 (QalActPtc) of the women. H802

και οτε ηκουσθη το του βασιλεως προσταγμα συνηχθησαν κορασια πολλα εις σουσαν την πολιν υπο χειρα γαι και ηχθη εσθηρ προς γαι τον φυλακα των γυναικων

Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at her.

Now when the turn H8447 of Esther, H635 the daughter H1323 of Abihail H32 the uncle H1730 of Mordecai, H4782 who had taken H3947 (QalPerf) her for his daughter, H1323 was come H5060 (HiphInf) to go in H935 (QalInf) unto the king, H4428 she required H1245 (PielPerf) nothing H1697 but what Hegai H1896 the king’s H4428 chamberlain, H5631 the keeper H8104 (QalActPtc) of the women, H802 appointed. H559 (QalImpf) And Esther H635 obtained H5375 (QalActPtc) favour H2580 in the sight H5869 of all them that looked H7200 (QalActPtc) upon her.

εν δε τω αναπληρουσθαι τον χρονον εσθηρ της θυγατρος αμιναδαβ αδελφου πατρος μαρδοχαιου εισελθειν προς τον βασιλεα ουδεν ηθετησεν ων αυτη ενετειλατο ο ευνουχος ο φυλαξ των γυναικων ην γαρ εσθηρ ευρισκουσα χαριν παρα παντων των βλεποντων αυτην

This thing became known to Mordecai, who informed Esther the queen; and Esther informed the king in Mordecai’s name.

And the thing H1697 was known H3045 (NiphImpf) to Mordecai, H4782 who told H5046 (HiphImpf) it unto Esther H635 the queen; H4436 and Esther H635 certified H559 (QalImpf) the king H4428 thereof in Mordecai’s H4782 name. H8034

και εδηλωθη μαρδοχαιω ο λογος και εσημανεν εσθηρ και αυτη ενεφανισεν τω βασιλει τα της επιβουλης

When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king’s presence.

And when inquisition H1245 (PualImpf) was made of the matter, H1697 it was found out; H4672 (NiphImpf) therefore they were both H8147 hanged H8518 (NiphImpf) on a tree: H6086 and it was written H3789 (NiphImpf) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 before H6440 the king. H4428

ο δε βασιλευς ητασεν τους δυο ευνουχους και εκρεμασεν αυτους και προσεταξεν ο βασιλευς καταχωρισαι εις μνημοσυνον εν τη βασιλικη βιβλιοθηκη υπερ της ευνοιας μαρδοχαιου εν εγκωμιω

After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

After H310 these things H1697 did king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 promote H1431 (PielPerf) Haman H2001 the son H1121 of Hammedatha H4099 the Agagite, H91 and advanced H5375 (PielImpf) him, and set H7760 (QalImpf) his seat H3678 above all the princes H8269 that were with him.

μετα δε ταυτα εδοξασεν ο βασιλευς αρταξερξης αμαν αμαδαθου βουγαιον και υψωσεν αυτον και επρωτοβαθρει παντων των φιλων αυτου

Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn’t listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

Now it came to pass, when they spake H559 (QalInf) daily H3117 H3117 unto him, and he hearkened H8085 (QalPerf) not unto them, that they told H5046 (HiphImpf) Haman, H2001 to see H7200 (QalInf) whether Mordecai’s H4782 matters H1697 would stand: H5975 (QalImpf) for he had told H5046 (HiphPerf) them that he was a Jew. H3064

καθ εκαστην ημεραν ελαλουν αυτω και ουχ υπηκουεν αυτων και υπεδειξαν τω αμαν μαρδοχαιον τοις του βασιλεως λογοις αντιτασσομενον και υπεδειξεν αυτοις ο μαρδοχαιος οτι ιουδαιος εστιν

The couriers went out in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.

The posts H7323 (QalPtc) went out, H3318 (QalPerf) being hastened H1765 (QalPasPtc) by the king’s H4428 commandment, H1697 and the decree H1881 was given H5414 (NiphPerf) in Shushan H7800 the palace. H1002 And the king H4428 and Haman H2001 sat down H3427 (QalPerf) to drink; H8354 (QalInf) but the city H5892 Shushan H7800 was perplexed. H943 (NiphPtc)

εσπευδετο δε το πραγμα και εις σουσαν ο δε βασιλευς και αμαν εκωθωνιζοντο εταρασσετο δε η πολις
