1So in the twelfth month, Adar, on the thirteenth day, the king's command was about to pop off, and the enemies of the Jews were feeling themselves, but plot twist: the Jews ended up ruling over their haters.

2The Jews pulled up in their cities all across King Ahasuerus' territory, ready to handle their biz against anyone who wanted smoke, and nobody could stop them; everyone was shook.

3All the rulers, lieutenants, deputies, and officers were on the Jews' side; they were lowkey scared of Mordecai's vibes.

4Mordecai was a big deal in the king's house, and his fame spread everywhere; dude was just getting more goated.

5The Jews took down all their enemies with the sword and wrecked them; they did what they wanted to those who dissed them.

6In Shushan, the palace, the Jews took out five hundred men.

7Parshandatha, Dalphon, and Aspatha,

8Poratha, Adalia, and Aridatha,

9Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vajezatha,

10They took out the ten sons of Haman, the enemy of the Jews, but they didn't touch the loot.

11On that day, the count of the peeps who got taken out in Shushan was brought to the king.

12The king said to Esther, "Yo, the Jews took out 500 dudes in Shushan and Haman’s ten sons; what’s the vibe in the rest of the kingdom? What’s your request? Just say the word and it’s done."

13Esther was like, "If it’s cool with you, let the Jews in Shushan do their thing again tomorrow like today’s decree, and hang Haman’s ten sons on the gallows."

14The king was like, "Bet, let’s make it happen," and the decree was dropped in Shushan; they hanged Haman’s ten sons.

15The Jews in Shushan gathered on the fourteenth day of Adar and took out 300 dudes; but they didn’t touch the loot, no cap.

16The other Jews in the king’s provinces came together, stood up for themselves, got a break from their enemies, and took out 75,000 foes, but they didn’t mess with the loot.

17On the thirteenth day of Adar, they chilled on the fourteenth, making it a day of feasting and good vibes.

18The Jews in Shushan came together on the thirteenth and fourteenth days, and on the fifteenth, they kicked back, making it a day of feasting and joy.

19So the Jews in the villages, living in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of Adar a day of good vibes and feasting, sending portions to each other.

20Mordecai wrote this stuff down and sent letters to all the Jews in the king Ahasuerus’ provinces, both close and far.

21They set this up for the crew to keep the fourteenth day of Adar and the fifteenth day every year, no cap.

22It’s the days when the Jews chilled from their haters, turning their sadness into joy and making it a lit day of feasting, sharing food, and gifting the less fortunate.

23The Jews were like, “We got this,” and followed what Mordecai wrote, fr.

24Haman, the ultimate hater, plotted to wipe out the Jews and rolled the dice to decide their fate, sus vibes.

25But when Esther pulled up to the king, he flipped the script and said Haman’s evil plan should backfire on him and his fam, savage.

26They named these days Purim after the lot, and all the stuff in this letter was legit, periodt.

27The Jews made it a tradition for themselves and their future fam, promising to keep these two days every year, no doubt.

28They wanted everyone to remember and celebrate these Purim days for all time, in every fam and city, no cap.

29Then Queen Esther and Mordecai wrote with major authority to confirm this second Purim letter.

30He sent these letters to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of Ahasuerus’ kingdom, spreading vibes of peace and truth.

31So they made sure to keep Purim lit, just like Mordecai and Esther said, for them and their fam, all about those fasts and their vibes.

32Esther's decree locked in these Purim vibes, and it got written down, no cap.

1Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)

2The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.

3And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.

4For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

5Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.

6And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.

7And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,

8And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

9And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,

10The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.

11On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.

12And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.

13Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.

14And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.

15For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.

16But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,

17On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

18But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

19Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

20And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,

21To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,

22As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

23And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;

24Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;

25But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

26Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,

27The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;

28And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.

29Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.

30And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

31To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.

32And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
