< Esther 1 >

1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (that is, the Ahasuerus that reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces),
Wakhtigii Ahashwerus (Ahashweruskaasu wuxuu ahaa kii xukumi jiray Hindiya iyo Itoobiya inta ka dhex leh, oo u talin jiray boqol iyo toddoba iyo labaatan gobol)
2 in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the fortress,
markii Boqor Ahashwerus uu ku fadhiistay carshigii boqortooyadiisa oo ku yiil Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka,
3 in the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and the princes of the provinces being before him;
sannaddii saddexaad oo boqornimadiisa ayuu martiqaad u sameeyey amiirradiisii iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, taas oo ay hortiisa joogeen xooggii Faaris iyo Maaday, iyo dadkii gobta ahaa iyo amiirradii gobollada.
4 when he shewed the glorious wealth of his kingdom and the splendid magnificence of his grandeur many days, a hundred and eighty days.
Oo wuxuu soo bannaan dhigay maalkii boqortooyadiisa ammaanta badnayd, iyo sharaftii haybaddiisa sarraysa, intii maalmo badan ah oo gaadha boqol iyo siddeetan maalmood.
5 And when these days were expired, the king made a feast to all the people that were present in Shushan the fortress, both to great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.
Oo markii maalmahaasu dhammaadeen ayuu boqorku diyaafad u sameeyey dadkii Shuushan oo hoygii boqorka ahayd joogay oo dhan, yar iyo weynba, intii toddoba maalmood ah, oo diyaafaddiina waxaa lagu dhigay barxaddii beerta ku dhex tiil hoygii boqorka.
6 White, green, and blue [hangings] were fastened with cords of byssus and purple to silver rings and pillars of white marble; couches of gold and silver [lay] upon a pavement of red and white marble, and alabaster, and black marble.
Oo waxaa meeshaas ka laalaaday daahyo ah caddaan iyo cagaar iyo buluug, oo waxaa ku xidhnaa xadhko laga sameeyey maro wanaagsan iyo dhar guduudan oo sudhan siddooyin lacag ah iyo tiirar marmar ah. Sariiruhuna waxay ahaayeen dahab iyo lacag, oo waxaa la dhigay meel siman oo laga sameeyey marmar ah casaan iyo caddaan iyo huruud iyo madow.
7 And they gave drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the king's bounty.
Oo waxaa dadka cabniin lagu siiyey weelal dahab ah (oo weelashana midba midka kale wuu ka duwanaa), oo khamrigii boqorkuna wuu badnaa sidii ay ahayd deeqsinimadii boqorku.
8 And the drinking was, according to commandment, without constraint; for so the king had appointed to all the magnates of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.
Oo cabniinkuna wuxuu waafaqsanaa qaynuunka, dirqina ma jirin, waayo, boqorku wuxuu madaxdii gurigiisa oo dhan ku amray inay nin kasta u yeelaan siduu doonayo.
9 Also the queen Vashti made a feast for the women of the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
Oo weliba Boqorad Washtiina waxay dumarkii diyaafad ugu samaysay hoygii reer boqor oo uu Boqor Ahashwerus lahaa.
10 On the seventh day, when the king's heart was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of king Ahasuerus,
Oo maalintii toddobaad boqorkii, isagoo qalbigiisu khamri ku faraxsan yahay, wuxuu amray toddobadii midiidin oo Boqor Ahashwerus ka adeegi jiray oo ahaa Mehuumaan, Bista, Xarboona, Bigtaa, Abagta, Seetar, iyo Karkas,
11 to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown to shew the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was of beautiful countenance.
oo wuxuu iyagii ku amray inay Boqorad Washtii hortiisa keenaan, iyadoo qabta taajkii boqornimada, si quruxdeeda loo tuso dadka iyo amiirrada, waayo, iyadu waxay lahayd suurad wanaagsan oo in la fiirsado ku fiican.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the word of the king which was [sent] by the chamberlains; and the king was very wroth, and his fury burned in him.
Laakiinse boqoraddii Washtii ahayd way diidday inay ku timaado amarkii boqorku ugu soo dhiibay midiidinnada. Sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii aad buu u xanaaqay, oo cadhadiisiina wuu la gubtay.
13 And the king said to the wise men who knew the times (for so was the king's business [conducted] before all that knew law and judgment;
Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu la hadlay nimankii xigmadda lahaa oo xilliyada yiqiin, (waayo, boqorka caadadiisu saasay ahayd xagga kulli kuwii sharcigii yiqiin iyo xukunkaba,
14 and the next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, [and] Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and who sat first in the kingdom),
oo waxaa isaga ku xigay Karshena, Shetaar, Admata, Tarshiish, Meres, Marsena, iyo Memuukaan oo ahaa toddobadii amiir oo Faaris iyo Maaday, oo arkay boqorka wejigiisa, oo fadhiyey boqortooyada derejadeeda kowaad),
15 What shall be done to the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not performed the word of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaan ku samaynaa Boqorad Washtii sida sharciga waafaqsan? Maxaa yeelay, iyadu ma ay yeelin yeedhiddii Boqor Ahashwerus iyada midiidinnada ugu sii dhiibay.
16 Then said Memucan before the king and the princes, The queen Vashti has not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
Markaasaa Memuukaan jawaabay, oo wuxuu boqorkii iyo amiirradii hortooda ka yidhi, Boqorad Washtii boqorka oo keliya ma ay xumayn, laakiinse waxay xumaysay amiirrada oo dhan, iyo dadka deggan Boqor Ahashwerus gobolladiisa oo dhan.
17 For the act of the queen will come abroad to all women, so as to render their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when they shall say, The king Ahasuerus commanded the queen Vashti to be brought in before him, and she came not!
Haddaba wixii ay boqoraddu samaysay wuu wada gaadhi doonaa dumarka oo dhan, kolkaasay nimankooda quudhsan doonaan markii warkan loo sheego, oo lagu yidhaahdo, Boqorkii Ahashwerus wuxuu amray in Boqorad Washtii hortiisa la keeno, laakiinse ma ay iman.
18 And the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's act, will say it this day to all the king's princes, and there will be contempt and anger enough.
Haddaba isla maantadan amiiradaha Faaris iyo Maaday oo maqlay wixii ay boqoraddu samaysay, sidaasoo kalay ku odhan doonaan boqorka amiirradiisa oo dhan. Oo saas aawadeed waxaa kici doona quudhsasho iyo xanaaq badan.
19 If it please the king, let a royal order go forth from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it may not pass, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she;
Haddaba haddii boqorku raalli ka yahay, amar boqornimo ha bixiyo, oo amarkaasna si aan loo beddelin ha lagu dhex qoro qaynuunnada reer Faaris iyo reer Maaday, inaanay boqoradda Washtii mar dambe iman Boqor Ahashwerus hortiisa. Boqorkuna boqoradnimadeedii ha siiyo mid kale oo iyada ka wanaagsan.
20 and when the king's edict which he shall make shall be heard throughout his realm — for it is great — all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, from the greatest to the least.
Oo marka boqorka amarkiisa uu bixin doono lagu faafiyo boqortooyadiisa oo dhan (waayo, way weyn tahay) ayaa dumarka oo dhammu nimankooda maamuusi doonaan, yar iyo weynba.
21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan.
Oo odhaahdaasu waxay ka farxisay boqorkii iyo amiirradii oo dhanba, kolkaasuu boqorkii yeelay sidii uu Memuukaan yidhi.
22 And he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people according to their language, That every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people.
Oo wuxuu warqado u diray boqorka gobolladiisii oo dhan, oo gobol walba wuxuu ugu qoray fartiisii, oo dad kastana wuxuu ugu qoray afkoodii, si nin kastaa ugu taliyo reerkiisa oo uu ku sheego afka dadkiisu ku hadlo.
