Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month of Adar) on the thirteenth day when the king’s command and edict were about to be executed, on the [very] day when the enemies of the Jews had hoped to gain power over them [and slaughter them], it happened the other way around so that the Jews themselves gained power over those who hated them.
Now 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;)
1-4 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the king’s order came into effect. This was the very day that the enemies of the Jews had planned to overpower them, but the tables were now turned: the Jews overpowered those who hated them! The Jews had gathered in the cities throughout King Xerxes’ provinces to lay hands on those who were seeking their ruin. Not one man was able to stand up against them—fear made cowards of them all. What’s more, all the government officials, satraps, governors—everyone who worked for the king—actually helped the Jews because of Mordecai; they were afraid of him. Mordecai by now was a power in the palace. As Mordecai became more and more powerful, his reputation had grown in all the provinces.
Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar), on the thirteenth [a]day when the king’s command and edict [b]were about to be executed, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, it was turned to the contrary so that the Jews themselves gained the mastery over those who hated them.
The king’s order had to be carried out on the 13th day of the 12th month. That was the month of Adar. On that day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to win the battle over them. But now everything had changed. The Jews had gained the advantage over those who hated them.
On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them.

So on March 7[a] the two decrees of the king were put into effect. On that day, the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but quite the opposite happened. It was the Jews who overpowered their enemies.

وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي عَشَرَ، (آذَارَ – مَارِسَ)، حِينَ آنَ أَوَانُ تَنْفِيذِ أَمْرِ الْمَلِكِ وَحُكْمِهِ، وَهُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ أَعْدَاءُ الْيَهُودِ يَرْجُونَ التَّسَلُّطَ عَلَيْهِمِ، انْقَلَبَ المَوْقِفُ ضِدَّهُمْ، فَتَسَلَّطَ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِمْ.

1-2 いよいよ第十二の月の十三日がきました。王の二つの勅令が発効する日です。この日、ユダヤ人を征服しようと意気込んでいた敵の立場は、全く一変しました。ユダヤ人は自衛のために、全国各地の町々に結集しました。ユダヤ人にあえて手出しする者は一人もいません。全国民がユダヤ人を恐れたからです。

No décimo terceiro dia do décimo segundo mês, o mês de adar[a], entraria em vigor o decreto do rei. Naquele dia os inimigos dos judeus esperavam vencê-los, mas aconteceu o contrário: os judeus dominaram aqueles que os odiavam,
Assim, no dia 13 de Adar[a], o dia em que o decreto real deveria ser posto em execução, quando os inimigos dos judeus contavam aniquilá-los, sucedeu precisamente o contrário.
