Esteer 2
1 Oo waxyaalahaas dabadood markii Boqor Ahashwerus cadho baxay ayuu soo xusuustay Washtii, iyo wixii ay samaysay, iyo wixii iyada ka geesta ahaa oo la amray.
After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 Markaasaa boqorka midiidinnadiisii u adeegi jiray waxay yidhaahdeen, Boqorka ha loo doondoono bikrado qurux badan oo dhallinyaro ah;
Then the king’s servants who served him said, “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.
3 oo boqorku gobol kasta oo boqortooyadiisa ka mid ah ha ka dhex doorto wakiillo, si ay bikradaha quruxda badan oo dhallinyarada ah oo dhan ugu soo ururiyaan Shuushan oo ah hoyga boqorka, oo iyaga ha keeneen guriga naagaha, oo gacanta ha u geliyeen Heegay oo ah midiidinka boqorka naagaha u dhawra, oo iyaga ha la siiyo alaabtoodii ay isku daahirin lahaayeen.
Let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the beautiful young virgins to the citadel of Susa, to the women’s house, to the custody of Hegai the king’s eunuch, keeper of the women. Let cosmetics be given them;
4 Oo gabadhii boqorka la wanaagsanaata, meeshii Washtii boqorad ha ka noqoto. Oo waxaasuna boqorka way ka farxiyeen; kolkaasuu saas yeelay.
and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.” The thing pleased the king, and he did so.
5 Oo Shuushan oo hoygii boqorka ahaa waxaa jiray nin Yuhuud ah, oo magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Mordekay ina Ya'iir, ina Shim'i, ina Qiish, oo wuxuu ahaa reer Benyaamiin;
There was a certain Jew in the citadel of Susa whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,
6 oo isaga waxaa mar hore laga soo kaxaystay Yeruusaalem, wuxuuna la socday maxaabiistii lala soo kaxaystay Yekonyaah oo ahaa boqorkii reer Yahuudah, oo uu soo kaxaystay Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon.
who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
7 Oo isagu wuxuu soo koriyey Hadasaah, taasoo ahayd ina-adeertiis Esteer, waayo, iyadu aabbe iyo hooyo toona ma ay lahayn; gabadhuna way suurad wacnayd, wayna qurux badnayd; oo markii aabbeheed iyo hooyadeed dhinteen ayaa Mordekay qaatay oo sidii gabadhiisii ka dhigtay.
He brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter; for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
8 Markii la maqlay boqorka amarkiisii iyo naadadiisii, kolkii hablo badan lagu soo ururiyey Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka, oo gacanta loo geliyey Heegay, ayaa Esteer la geeyey gurigii boqorka, oo waxaa gacanta loo geliyey Heegay oo ahaa kii naagaha dhawri jiray.
So, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Susa, to the custody of Hegai, Esther was taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
9 Oo gabadhii way la wanaagsanaatay isagii, wuuna u roonaaday; oo markiiba wuxuu iyadii siiyey alaabteedii isdaahirinta, iyo intii ay qaybta u lahayd, iyo toddoba gabdhood oo ay waajib u lahayd in laga siiyo guriga boqorka. Markaasuu iyadii iyo gabdhaheediiba geeyey meeshii ugu wanaagsanayd guriga naagaha.
The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king’s house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women’s house.
10 Esteerna ma ay sheegin dadkeedii iyo qoladeedii toona; waayo, waxaa Mordekay ku amray inaanay waxba sheegin.
Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.
11 Mordekayna wuxuu maalin kasta mari jiray barxadda guriga naagaha horteeda si uu ku ogaado Esteer nabadqabkeeda iyo waxa iyada ku dhici lahaa.
Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women’s house, to find out how Esther was doing, and what would become of her.
12 Haddaba markii gabadh walba wakhtigeedii la gaadhay inay u gasho Boqor Ahashwerus, oo iyada loogu sameeyo sida waafaqsan waxa sharcigu dumarka farayo laba iyo toban bilood dabadeed, (waayo, saasaa isdaahirintoodu ku dhammaan jirtay, inay intii lix bilood ah ismariyaan saliidda malmalka, intii lix bilood ahna ismariyaan uunsi udgoon iyo waxyaalaha dumarka lagu daahiriyo)
Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying women).
13 ayaa sidaas gabadhii boqorkii ugu timid, oo wax alla wixii ay doonaysay inay guriga naagaha ka qaadato, oo ay la tagto guriga boqorka, dhammaantood waa la siiyey iyada.
The young woman then came to the king like this: whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the women’s house to the king’s house.
14 Oo iyadu fiidkii bay tagtay, oo subaxdii ayay ku soo noqotay gurigii labaad oo naagaha, iyo gacanta Shacashgas oo ahaa boqorka midiidinkiisii u dhawri jiray naagaha addoommaha ah. Iyana mar dambe boqorkii uma ay soo gelin, in boqorku ku farxo iyo in magaceeda loogu yeedho mooyaane.
In the evening she went, and on the next day she returned into the second women’s house, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch, who kept the concubines. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
15 Haddaba Esteer oo ahayd ina Abiixayil, kaasoo adeer u ahaa Mordekay oo iyada qaatay oo ka dhigtay sidii gabadhiisii oo kale, markii wakhtigeedii ay boqorka u geli lahayd la gaadhay, iyadu waxba ma ay dalban wixii Heegay oo ahaa boqorka midiidinkiisii naagaha u dhawri jiray uu u dooray mooyaane. Oo intii Esteer aragtay oo dhammu way u bogeen.
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favour in the sight of all those who looked at her.
16 Haddaba boqorka sannaddiisii toddobaad ee boqornimadiisa, bisheedii tobnaad oo ahayd bisha Tebed ayaa Esteer loogu geeyey Boqor Ahashwerus gurigiisii boqornimada.
So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 Haddaba boqorkii Esteer buu ka jeclaaday naagihii kale oo dhan, oo iyana waxay isagii ka heshay raxmad iyo roonaan ka sii badan intii ay bikradaha kale heleen oo dhan; oo sidaas daraaddeed ayuu madaxa u saaray taajkii boqornimada, oo meeshii Washtii ayuu iyada boqorad uga dhigay.
The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained favour and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Markaasaa boqorkii martiqaad weyn u sameeyey amiirradiisii iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, taasuna waxay ahayd martiqaad Esteer loo sameeyey; oo gobolladiina boqorku wuu nasiyey, oo hadiyadona wuxuu u bixiyey sidii deeqsinimadiisii ahayd.
Then the king made a great feast for all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces, and gave gifts according to the king’s bounty.
19 Oo markii bikradihii mar labaad la soo ururiyey ayaa Mordekay soo fadhiistay boqorka iriddiisii.
When the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate.
20 Oo Esteerna weli ma ay sheegin qoladeedii iyo dadkeedii toona, sidii Mordekay ku amray; waayo, Esteer amarkii Mordekay bay u addeeci jirtay sidii markii uu korinayay oo kale.
Esther had not yet made known her relatives nor her people, as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther obeyed Mordecai, like she did when she was brought up by him.
21 Oo waagaas mar uu Mordekay boqorka iriddiisa fadhiistay ayaa waxaa aad u cadhooday laba nin oo boqorka midiidinno u ahaa, waxayna ahaayeen Bigtaan iyo Teresh oo ka mid ahaa kuwa iridda dhawra, oo waxay dooneen inay Boqor Ahashwerus dilaan.
In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
22 Oo xaalkaas waxaa ogaaday Mordekay, kolkaasuu u sheegay Boqorad Esteer; Esteerna waxay u sheegtay boqorkii, iyadoo ku hadlaysa Mordekay magiciisa.
This thing became known to Mordecai, who informed Esther the queen; and Esther informed the king in Mordecai’s name.
23 Oo markii xaalkaas la baadhay ayaa waxaa la ogaaday inay saas tahay, oo labadoodiiba geed baa laga soo deldelay; oo taasna waxaa lagu qoray buuggii taariikhda boqorka hortiisa.
When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king’s presence.
