以斯帖记9:20~32
普珥日
20 末底改记录这事，写信与亚哈随鲁王各省远近所有的犹大人，
21 嘱咐他们每年守亚达月十四、十五两日，
22 以这月的两日为犹大人脱离仇敌得平安、转忧为喜、转悲为乐的吉日。在这两日设筵欢乐，彼此馈送礼物，周济穷人。
23 于是，犹大人按着末底改所写与他们的信，应承照初次所守的守为永例；
23 于是，犹大人按着末底改所写与他们的信，应承照初次所守的守为永例；
24 是因犹大人的仇敌亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼设谋杀害犹大人，掣普珥，就是掣签，为要杀尽灭绝他们；
25 这事报告于王，王便降旨使哈曼谋害犹大人的恶事归到他自己的头上，并吩咐把他和他的众子都挂在木架上。
26 照着普珥的名字，犹大人就称这两日为「普珥日」。他们因这信上的话，又因所看见所遇见的事，
27 就应承自己与后裔，并归附他们的人，每年按时必守这两日，永远不废。
28 各省各城、家家户户、世世代代纪念遵守这两日，使这「普珥日」在犹大人中不可废掉，在他们后裔中也不可忘记。
29 亚比孩的女儿－王后以斯帖和犹大人末底改以全权写第二封信，坚嘱犹大人守这「普珥日」，
29 亚比孩的女儿－王后以斯帖和犹大人末底改以全权写第二封信，坚嘱犹大人守这「普珥日」，
30 用和平诚实话写信给亚哈随鲁王国中一百二十七省所有的犹大人，
31 劝他们按时守这「普珥日」，禁食呼求，是照犹大人末底改和王后以斯帖所嘱咐的，也照犹大人为自己与后裔所应承的。
32 以斯帖命定守「普珥日」，这事也记录在书上。
Purim Established
20 Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces of King Xerxes, near and far,
21 to have them celebrate annually the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar
22 as the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor.
23 So the Jews agreed to continue the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them.
23 So the Jews agreed to continue the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them.
24 For Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them and had cast the pur(that is, the lot) for their ruin and destruction.
25 But when the plot came to the king’s attention, he issued written orders that the evil scheme Haman had devised against the Jews should come back onto his own head, and that he and his sons should be impaled on poles.
26 (Therefore these days were called Purim, from the word pur.) Because of everything written in this letter and because of what they had seen and what had happened to them,
27 the Jews took it on themselves to establish the custom that they and their descendants and all who join them should without fail observe these two days every year, in the way prescribed and at the time appointed.
28 These days should be remembered and observed in every generation by every family, and in every province and in every city. And these days of Purim should never fail to be celebrated by the Jews—nor should the memory of these days die out among their descendants.
29 So Queen Esther, daughter of Abihail, along with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter concerning Purim.

30 And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of Xerxes’ kingdom—words of goodwill and assurance—
31 to establish these days of Purim at their designated times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had decreed for them, and as they had established for themselves and their descendants in regard to their times of fasting and lamentation.
32 Esther’s decree confirmed these regulations about Purim, and it was written down in the records.
