Esteer 3
1 Oo waxyaalahaas dabadeed Boqor Ahashwerus wuxuu dalliciyey oo kursigiisii ka sarraysiiyey amiirradii isaga la joogay oo dhan Haamaan ina Hamedaata oo ahaa reer Agag, oo isaga wuu hore mariyey.
After this, king Artaxerxes exalted Haman, the son of Hammedatha, who was of Agag lineage, and he set his throne above all the rulers whom he had.
2 Oo waxaa Haamaan u foororsaday oo u sujuuday boqorka addoommadiisii iriddiisa joogay oo dhan, waayo, boqorka ayaa in saas loo yeelo amray. Laakiinse Mordekay uma uu foororsan, umana sujuudin.
And all the king’s servants, who passed by the doors of the palace, bent their knees and adored Haman, for so the ruler had instructed them. Only Mordecai did not bend his knee, nor adore him.
3 Markaasaa addoommadii boqorka oo joogay boqorka iriddiisa waxay Mordekay ku yidhaahdeen, War maxaad u jebinaysaa boqorka amarkiisa?
The king’s servants, who presided over the doors of the palace, said to him, “Why do you, more than the others, not observe the king’s command?”
4 Haddaba waxaa dhacday, markay maalin kasta saas ku lahaayeen, laakiinse isagu uusan dheg u dhigin, inay warkaas Haamaan u sheegeen inay arkaan bal wuxuu xaalka Mordekay noqdo, waayo, wuxuu iyagii u sheegay inuu Yuhuud yahay.
And when they were saying this frequently, and he would not listen to them, they reported it to Haman, desiring to know whether he would continue in his resolution, for he had told them that he was a Jew.
5 Haamaanna markuu arkay inaan Mordekay u foororsan oo aanu u sujuudin, ayuu Haamaan aad u cadhooday.
Now when Haman had heard this, and had proved by a test that Mordecai did not bend his knee to him, nor adore him, he was very angry.
6 Laakiinse wuu quudhsaday inuu Mordekay oo qudha gacanta saaro, waayo, waxaa isaga loo sheegay Mordekay qabiilkiisa; oo sidaas daraaddeed Haamaan wuxuu doonayay inuu wada baabbi'iyo Yuhuudda boqortooyada Ahashwerus deggan oo dhan, kuwaasoo ahaa Mordekay qabiilkiisii.
And he considered it pointless to lay his hands on Mordecai alone, for he had heard that he was part of the Jewish people. And so he wanted more: to destroy the entire nation of the Jews, who were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes.
7 Oo sannaddii laba iyo tobnaad oo Boqor Ahashwerus, bisheedii kowaad taasoo ah bisha Niisaan ayay Haamaan hortiisa ku rideen saami magiciisa la yidhaahdo Fuur, oo taasuna waxay socotay maalin ka maalin, iyo bil ka bil, ilaa bishii laba iyo tobnaad oo ah bisha Adaar.
In the first month, which is called Nisan, in the twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, the lot was cast into an urn, which in Hebrew is called Pur, in the presence of Haman, to determine on what day and in which month the Jewish people should be destroyed. And it turned out to be the twelfth month, which is called Adar.
8 Markaasaa Haamaan wuxuu Boqor Ahashwerus ku yidhi, Waxaa jira dad ku wada dhex firidhsan dadyowga deggan gobollada boqortooyadaada oo dhan, qaynuunnadooduna way ka wada duwan yihiin kuwa dadyowga kale oo dhan. Iyaguna qaynuunnada boqorka ma dhawraan. Sidaas daraaddeed, boqorow, inaad iska daysid faa'iido kuugu ma jirto.
And Haman said to king Artaxerxes, “There is a people dispersed throughout all the provinces of your kingdom and separated one from another, who make use of unusual laws and ceremonies, and who, in addition, show contempt for the king’s ordinances. And you know very well that it is not expedient for your kingdom that they should become insolent through independence.
9 Haddaba, boqorow, taas haddaad raalli ka tahay, ha la qoro in iyaga la baabbi'iyo; oo anna waxaan bixin doonaa toban kun oo talanti oo lacag ah, oo waxaan gacanta u gelin doonaa kuwa boqorka shuqulkiisa u taliya inay iyagu maalkaas geliyaan khasnadaha boqorka.
If it pleases you, declare that they may be destroyed, and I will weigh out ten thousand talents to the keepers of your treasury.”
10 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu gacantiisa ka siibay kaatunkiisii oo wuxuu siiyey Haamaan ina Hamedaata oo ahaa reer Agag ee weliba ahaa cadowgii Yuhuudda.
And so the king took the ring that he used, from his own hand, and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha, of Agag lineage, enemy of the Jews.
11 Kolkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Haamaan ku yidhi, Lacagta adigaa lagu siiyey, oo weliba dadkana waxaad ku samaysaa wax alla wixii kula wanaagsan.
And he said to him, “Let the silver, which you promise, be for yourself. As for the people, do with them as it pleases you.”
12 Oo bishii kowaad maalinteedii saddex iyo tobnaad ayaa loo wada yeedhay boqorka karraaniyadiisii oo dhan, oo waxaa la qoray kulli wixii Haamaan ku amray boqorka saraakiishiisii iyo taliyayaashii gobollada oo dhan xukumayay, iyo amiirradii u talinayay dad kasta, oo gobol kasta waxaa loogu qoray afkiisii. Oo waxaa lagu qoray Boqorka Ahashwerus magiciisa, waxaana lagu shaabadeeyey boqorka kaatunkiisii.
And the scribes of the king were summoned, in the first month Nisan, on the thirteenth day of the same month. And it was written, as Haman had commanded, to all the king’s governors, and to the judges of the provinces, and to various peoples, so that each people could read and hear according to their various languages, in the name of king Artaxerxes. And the letters were sealed with his ring.
13 Oo warqadona waxaa loo dhiibay warqaadayaal, oo waxaa loo diray boqorka gobolladiisii oo dhan, in Yuhuudda oo dhan la wada baabbi'iyo, oo la wada laayo, oo la halaago dhammaantood, yar iyo weyn, iyo dhallaanka iyo dumarkaba, bisha Adaar oo ah bisha laba iyo tobnaad, maalinteeda saddex iyo tobnaad, iyo in maalkoodana booli ahaan loo dhaco.
These were sent by the king’s messengers to all the provinces, so as to kill and destroy all the Jews, from children all the way to the elderly, even little children and women, on one day, that is, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month, which is called Adar, and to plunder their goods, even their necessities.
14 Oo waxaa dadyowga oo dhan lagu dhex faafiyey warqaddii la qoray naqilkeedii, oo leh amar ha la wada siiyo gobollada oo dhan inay diyaar u noqdaan maalintaas.
And the effect of the letters was this: that all provinces would know and prepare for the prescribed day.
15 Oo warqaadayaashiina haddiiba degdeg bay ugu ambabbexeen boqorka amarkiisii, oo Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorkana amarkii waa lagu bixiyey. Haddaba boqorkii iyo Haamaan waxay u fadhiisteen inay wax cabbaan; laakiinse magaaladii Shuushan oo dhammu way ka wareertay.
The couriers, who had been sent, hurried to complete the king’s command, but the edict was hung up in Susa immediately. And the king and Haman celebrated a feast, while all the Jews in the city were weeping.
