BrLXX (ESG 8:12a) Ὧν ἐστιν ἀντίγραφον τῆς ἐπιστολῆς τὰ ὑπογεγραμμένα·

BrLXX (ESG 8:12b) “Βασιλεὺς μέγας Ἀρταξέρξης τοῖς ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰνδικῆς ἕως τῆς Αἰθιοπίας ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιεπτὰ σατραπείαις χωρῶν ἄρχουσι, καὶ τοῖς τὰ ἡμέτερα φρονοῦσι, χαίρειν.

BrLXX (ESG 8:12c) Πολλοὶ τῇ πλείστῃ τῶν εὐεργετούντων χρηστότητι πυκνότερον τιμώμενοι, μεῖζον ἐφρόνησαν, καὶ οὐ μόνον τοὺς ὑποτεταγμένους ἡμῖν ζητοῦσι κακοποιεῖν, τόν τε κόρον οὐ δυνάμενοι φέρειν, καὶ τοῖς ἑαυτῶν εὐεργέταις ἐπιχειροῦσι μηχανᾶσθαι·

BrLXX (ESG 8:12d) καὶ τὴν εὐχαριστίαν οὐ μόνον ἐκ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀνταναιροῦντες, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς τῶν ἀπειραγάθων κόμποις ἐπαρθέντες, τοῦ τὰ πάντα κατοπτεύοντος ἀεὶ Θεοῦ μισοπόνηρον ὑπολαμβάνουσιν ἐκφεύξεσθαι δίκην.

BrLXX (ESG 8:12e) Πολλάκις δὲ καὶ πολλοὺς τῶν ἐπʼ ἐξουσίαις τεταγμένεν τῶν πιστευθέντων χειρίζειν φίλων τὰ πράγματα, παραμυθία μετόχους αἱμάτων ἀθώων καταστήσασα περιέβαλε συμφοραῖς ἀνηκέστοις,

BrLXX (ESG 8:12f) τῷ τῆς κακοηθείας ψευδεῖ παραλογισμῷ παραλογισαμένων τὴν τῶν ἐπικρατούντων ἀκέραιον εὐγνωμοσύνην.

BrLXX (ESG 8:12h) καὶ προσέχειν εἰς τὰ μετὰ ταῦτα, εἰς τὸ τὴν βασιλείαν ἀτάραχον τοῖς πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις μετʼ εἰρήνης παρεξόμεθα

BrLXX (ESG 8:12r) “Καλῶς οὖν ποιήσετε μὴ προσχρησάμενοι τοῖς ὑπὸ Ἀμὰν Ἀμαδαθοῦ ἀποσταλεῖσι γράμμασι, διὰ τὸ αὐτὸν τὸν ταῦτα ἐξεργασάμενον πρὸς ταῖς Σούσων πύλαις ἐσταυρῶσθαι σὺν τῇ πανοικίᾳ, τὴν καταξίαν τοῦ τὰ πάντα ἐπικρατοῦντος Θεοῦ διατάχους ἀποδόντος αὐτῷ κρίσιν.

BrLXX (ESG 8:12s) Τὸ δὲ ἀντίγραφον τῆς ἐπιστολῆς ταύτης ἐκθέντες ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ μετὰ παῤῥησίας, ἐᾷν τοὺς Ἰουδαίους χρῆσθαι τοῖς ἑαυτῶν νομίμοις, καὶ συνεπισχύειν αὐτοῖς, ὅπως τοὺς ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως ἐπιθεμένους αὐτοῖς, ἀμύνωνται τῇ τρισκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ δωδεκάτου μηνὸς Ἀδὰρ τῇ αὐτῇ ἡμέρᾳ·

BrLXX (ESG 8:12t) Ταύτην γὰρ ὁ τὰ πάντα δυναστεύων Θεὸς ἀντʼ ὀλεθρίας τοῦ ἐκλεκτοῦ γένους, ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς εὐφροσύνην.

BrLXX (ESG 8:12u) “Καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν ἐν ταῖς ἐπωνύμοις ὑμῶν ἑορταῖς, ἐπίσημον ἡμέραν μετὰ πάσης εὐωχίας ἄγετε, ὅπως καὶ νῦν καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα σωτήρια ᾖ ἡμῖν, καὶ τοῖς εὐνοοῦσι Πέρσαις, τοῖς δὲ ἡμῖν ἐπιβουλεύουσι, μνημόσυνον τῆς ἀπωλείας.

BrLXX (ESG 8:12x) Πᾶσα δὲ πόλις ἢ χώρα τὸ σύνολον, ἥτις κατὰ ταῦτα μὴ ποιήσῃ, δόρατι καὶ πυρὶ καταναλωθήσεται μετʼ ὀργῆς· οὐ μόνον ἀνθρώποις ἄβατος, ἀλλὰ καὶ θηρίοις καὶ πετεινοῖς εἰς τὸν ἅπαντα χρόνον ἔχθιστος κατασταθήσεται.”

BrTr (ESG 8:12) on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is Adar.

BrTr (ESG 8:12a) And the following is the copy of the letter of the orders.

BrTr (ESG 8:12b) [The great king Artaxerxes sends greeting to the rulers of provinces in a hundred and twenty-seven satrapies, from India to Ethiopia, even to those who are faithful to our interests.

BrTr (ESG 8:12c) Many who have been frequently honoured by the most abundant kindness of their benefactors have conceived ambitious designs, and not only endeavour to hurt our subjects, but moreover, not being able to bear prosperity, they also endeavour to plot against their own benefactors.

BrTr (ESG 8:12d) And they not only would utterly abolish gratitude from among men, but also, elated by the boastings of men who are strangers to all that is good, they suppose that they shall escape the sin-hating vengeance of the ever-seeing God.

BrTr (ESG 8:12e) And oftentimes evil exhortation has made partakers of the guilt of shedding innocent blood, and has involved in irremediable calamities, many of those who were appointed to offices of authority, who had been entrusted with the management of their friends' affairs;

BrTr (ESG 8:12f) while men, by the false sophistry of an evil disposition, have deceived the simple candour of the ruling powers.

BrTr (ESG 8:12g) And it is possible to see this, not so much from more ancient traditionary accounts, as it is immediately in your power to see it by examining what things have been wickedly perpetrated by the baseness of men unworthily holding power.

BrTr (ESG 8:12h) And it is right to take heed with regard to the future, that we may maintain the government in undisturbed peace for all men,

BrTr (ESG 8:12i) adopting needful changes, and ever judging those cases which come under our notice, with truly equitable decision.

BrTr (ESG 8:12k) For whereas Aman, a Macedonian, the son of Amadathes, in reality an alien from the blood of the Persians, and differing widely from our mild course of government, having been hospitably entertained by us,

BrTr (ESG 8:12l) obtained so large a share of our universal kindness, as to be called our father, and to continue the person next to the royal throne, reverenced of all;

BrTr (ESG 8:12m) he, however, overcome by the pride of his station, endeavoured to deprive us of our dominion, and our life;

BrTr (ESG 8:12n) having by various and subtle artifices demanded for destruction both Mardochæus our deliverer and perpetual benefactor, and Esther the blameless consort of our kingdom, with their whole nation.

BrTr (ESG 8:12o) For by these methods he thought, having surprised us in a defenceless state, to transfer the dominion of the Persians to the Macedonians.

BrTr (ESG 8:12p) But we find that the Jews, who have been consigned to destruction by the most abominable of men, are not malefactors, but living according to the justest laws,

BrTr (ESG 8:12q) and being the sons of the living God, the most high and mighty, who maintains the kingdom, to us as well as to our forefathers, in the most excellent order.

BrTr (ESG 8:12r) Ye will therefore do well in refusing to obey the letters sent by Aman the son of Amadathes, because he that has done these things, has been hanged with his whole family at the gates of Susa, Almighty God having swiftly returned to him a worthy recompence.

BrTr (ESG 8:12s) We enjoin you then, having openly published a copy of this letter in every place, to give the Jews permission to use their own lawful customs, and to strengthen them, that on the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar, on the self-same day, they may defend themselves against those who attacked them in a time of affliction.

BrTr (ESG 8:12t) For in the place of the destruction of the chosen race, Almighty God has granted them this time of gladness.

BrTr (ESG 8:12u) Do ye therefore also, among your notable feasts, keep a distinct day with all festivity, that both now and hereafter it may be a day of deliverance to us and those who are well disposed toward the Persians, but to those that plotted against us a memorial of destruction.

BrTr (ESG 8:12x) And every city and province collectively, which shall not do accordingly, shall be consumed with vengeance by spear and fire: it shall be made not only inaccessible to men, but also most hateful to wild beasts and birds for ever.]
