1 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)
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻAhasivelo, (ko e ʻAhasivelo eni naʻe pule mei Initia ʻo aʻu ki ʻItiopea, ki he vahe fonua ʻe teau mā uofulu mā fitu: )
2 markii Boqor Ahashwerus uu ku fadhiistay carshigii boqortooyadiisa oo ku yiil Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka,
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki.
3 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.
Naʻa ne fai ʻae kātoanga ki heʻene ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono tolu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule: ko e mālohi ʻo Peasia mo Mitia, ko e ngaahi houʻeiki, mo kinautolu naʻe pule ki he ngaahi vahe fonua, naʻe ʻi hono ʻao:
4 Oo wuxuu soo bannaan dhigay maalkii boqortooyadiisa ammaanta badnayd, iyo sharaftii haybaddiisa sarraysa, intii maalmo badan ah oo gaadha boqol iyo siddeetan maalmood.
Pea naʻa ne fakahā ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻae koloa ʻo hono puleʻanga fakamanavahē, mo e lahi ʻo ʻene ongoongolelei ʻaʻana, ʻio, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe teau ma valungofulu.
5 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.
Pea ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe fai ʻae kātoanga ʻe he tuʻi ki he kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki, ki he lahi, mo e siʻi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe ngoue ʻi he fale fakaʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi;
6 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.
ʻAia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi [puipui ]hinehina, mo lanu ʻakau mata, mo lanu moana, naʻe fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi afo ʻoe filo tupenu tuʻovalevale mo e paʻuhiʻuhi ki he ngaahi kaveʻi siliva mo e ngaahi pou ʻoe maka hinehina: naʻe koula mo siliva ʻae ngaahi mohenga naʻe tuʻu ki he faliki [fale ]ʻoe maka hinehina, mo e kulokula, mo e lanu moana, mo e hinehina, mo e ʻuliʻuli.
7 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.
Pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae meʻainu kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ipu koula, (naʻe fai kehekehe ʻae ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, ) mo e uaine ngalingali tuʻi lahi ʻaupito, ʻo fakatatau ki he anga ʻoe tuʻi.
8 Oo cabniinkuna wuxuu waafaqsanaa qaynuunka, dirqina ma jirin, waayo, boqorku wuxuu madaxdii gurigiisa oo dhan ku amray inay nin kasta u yeelaan siduu doonayo.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae inu ʻo fakatatau ki he fono naʻe ʻikai puleʻi mālohi ʻe ha tokotaha he naʻe pehē ʻe he fono ʻae tuʻi ki he kau matāpule kotoa pē ʻo hono fale, ke nau fai taki taha kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki hono loto ʻoʻona.
9 Oo weliba Boqorad Washtiina waxay dumarkii diyaafad ugu samaysay hoygii reer boqor oo uu Boqor Ahashwerus lahaa.
Pea naʻe fai foki ʻe Vasiti ko e tuʻi fefine ʻae kātoanga ki heʻenau fefine ʻi he fale fakatuʻi ʻaia naʻe ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo.
10 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,
Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he fiefia ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he uaine, naʻa ne fekau kia Mihumani, mo Pisita, mo Hapona, mo Pikita, mo ʻApakita, mo Setali, mo Kakasi, ko e kau tauhi fale ʻe toko fitu naʻe talifekau ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻAhasivelo ko e tuʻi.
11 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.
Ke nau ʻomi ʻa Vasiti ko e tuʻi fefine ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e tatā fakaʻeiki, ke fakahā ki he kakai mo e ngaahi houʻeiki hono hoihoifua: he naʻe hoihoifua ia ke mamata ki ai.
12 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.
Ka naʻe ʻikai fie haʻu ʻae tuʻi fefine ko Vasiti ʻi he fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻi he kau talafekau: ko ia naʻe tuputāmaki ai ʻae tuʻi, pea lili ʻene houhau ʻiate ia.
13 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu la hadlay nimankii xigmadda lahaa oo xilliyada yiqiin, (waayo, boqorka caadadiisu saasay ahayd xagga kulli kuwii sharcigii yiqiin iyo xukunkaba,
Pea pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi ki he kau tangata poto, ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻae ngaahi kuonga, (he naʻe pehē pe ʻae anga ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻae fono mo e fakamaau:
14 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),
Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Kasina, mo Setali, mo ʻAtimata, mo Tasisi, mo Melesi, mo Masina, mo Mimukani, ko e houʻeiki ʻe toko fitu ʻo Peasia mo Mitia, ʻaia naʻe mamata ki he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe nofo ki muʻa ʻi he puleʻanga; )
15 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.
“Ko e hā te tau fai ki he tuʻi fefine, ko Vasiti ʻo fakatatau ki he fono, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ne fai ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo ʻi he kau talafekau?”
16 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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mimukani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e ngaahi houʻeiki, [ʻo pehē], “Naʻe ʻikai fai hala ʻe Vasiti ko e tuʻi fefine ki he tuʻi pē, ka ki he ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo.
17 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.
Koeʻuhi ʻe ongo atu ki he mamaʻo ʻae ngāue ni ʻae tuʻi fefine ki he kau fefine kotoa pē, ko ia te nau mata manuki ai ki honau ngaahi husepāniti, ʻoka fakaongo atu ia, ‘Naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo ke ʻomi ʻae tuʻi fefine ki hono ʻao, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻu ia.’
18 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.
ʻE lea pehē pē foki ʻe he houʻeiki fefine ʻo Peasia mo Mitia he ʻaho ni ki he ngaahi houʻeiki ʻae tuʻi, ʻaia kuo ongoʻi ʻae ngāue ni ʻae tuʻi fefine. Ko ia ʻe tupu ai ʻae manuki lahi mo e ʻita.
19 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.
Pea kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, ke fai ʻe ia ʻae fono fakatuʻi, pea tuku ke tohi ia ʻi he ngaahi fono ʻoe kakai Peasia mo e kakai Mitia, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakakehe ia, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe haʻu ʻa Vasiti ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo: pea ke foaki ʻe he tuʻi hono tuʻunga fakatuʻi ki ha tokotaha ʻoku lelei lahi ʻiate ia.
20 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.
Pea ka fakaongo atu ʻae fono ʻae tuʻi ʻaia te ne fai ki he potu kotoa pē ʻo hono puleʻanga, (he ʻoku lahi ia, ) ʻe ʻatu ʻe he ngaahi fefine uaifi ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa ki honau ngaahi husepāniti, pē ko e lahi ia pē ko e siʻi.”
21 Oo odhaahdaasu waxay ka farxisay boqorkii iyo amiirradii oo dhanba, kolkaasuu boqorkii yeelay sidii uu Memuukaan yidhi.
Pea naʻe mālie ai ʻae tuʻi mo e ngaahi houʻeiki ʻi he lea ko ia; pea naʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ʻa Mimukani.
22 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.
He naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi tohi ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi, ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki he tohi ʻo hono lea, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo tatau mo ʻenau lea, koeʻuhi ke pule taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona, pea koeʻuhi ke fanongonongo ia ʻi he lea ʻae kakai kotoa pē.
