متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

بعد نه مه شه برون آورد تختسوی میدان و منادی کرد سخت
After nine months the king brought out his throne
to the square and made proclamation loudly:
کای زنان با طفلکان میدان رویدجمله اسرائیلیان بیرون شوید
"O women, go to the square with your little ones —
all Israelites, come out!
آنچنانک پار مردان را رسیدخلعت و هر کس ازیشان زر کشید
Just as last year the men received
robes of honor, and each of them drew gold —
هین زنان امسال اقبال شماستتا بیابد هر یکی چیزی که خواست
heed! O women, this year fortune is yours,
so that each one may find what she desires.
مر زنان را خلعت و صلت دهدکودکان را هم کلاه زر نهد
He will give women robes of honor and gifts
and will place golden caps on the children too.
هر که او این ماه زاییدست هینگنجها گیرید از شاه مکین
Whoever has given birth this month — heed! —
receive treasures from the steadfast king."
آن زنان با طفلکان بیرون شدندشادمان تا خیمهٔ شه آمدند
Those women went out with their little ones,
joyfully they came to the king's tent.
هر زن نوزاده بیرون شد ز شهرسوی میدان غافل از دستان و قهر
Every woman with a newborn went out of the city
toward the square, heedless of the ruse and wrath.
چون زنان جمله بدو گرد آمدندهرچه بود آن نر ز مادر بستدند
When all the women had gathered around him,
every male child was taken from its mother.
سر بریدندش که اینست احتیاطتا نروید خصم و نفزاید خباط
Their heads were cut off — for this is precaution —
so that the enemy may not grow and confusion not multiply.
