Esteer 4

1 Haddaba markii Mordekay ogaaday wixii la sameeyey oo dhan ayuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay, dhar joonyad ahna wuu xidhay oo dambas ismariyey, markaasuu magaalada dhex galay oo oohin dheer oo qadhaadh ku qayliyey.

Now when Mardochai had heard these things, he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, strewing ashes on his head: and he cried with a loud voice in the street in the midst of the city, shewing the anguish of his mind.

2 Wuxuuna hor yimid boqorka iriddiisa; waayo, ninna iridda boqorka ma geli karayn isagoo dhar joonyad ah qaba.

And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king’s court.

3 Oo gobol kasta oo qaynuunkii iyo amarkii boqorku gaadhayba waxaa Yuhuuddii ka dhex dhacday baroor weyn, iyo soon, iyo oohin, iyo qaylo; kuwo badanuna dambas bay ku jiifeen iyagoo dhar joonyad ah qaba.

And in all provinces, towns, and places, to which the king’s cruel edict was come, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, wailing, and weeping, many using sackcloth and ashes for their bed.

4 Markaasaa Esteer waxaa u yimid oo xaalkaas u soo sheegay gabdhaheedii iyo midiidinnadeedii; kolkaasay boqoraddii aad iyo aad u murugootay; oo Mordekay ayay u sii dirtay dhar uu xidho, waxayna u sheegtay inuu dharkiisii joonyadda ahaa iska furo; laakiinse dharkii ma uu qaadan.

Then Esther’s maids and her eunuchs went in, and told her. And when she heard it she was in a consternation: and she sent a garment, to clothe him, and to take away the sackcloth: but he would not receive it.

5 Markaasaa Esteer waxay u yeedhay Hatag oo boqorka midiidinnadiisa ka mid ahaa oo uu boqorku u doortay inuu u adeego, oo waxay isagii ku amartay inuu Mordekay u tago oo uu soo ogaado bal waxa xaalkanu ahaa, iyo wuxuu u dhacayba.

And she called for Athach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to attend upon her, and she commanded him to go to Mardochai, and learn of him why he did this.

6 Sidaas daraaddeed Hatag wuxuu Mordekay ugu tegey magaalada bannaankeedii ka soo hor jeeday boqorka iriddiisa.

And Athach going out went to Mardochai, who was standing in the street of the city, before the palace gate:

7 Markaasaa Mordekay wuxuu isagii u sheegay dhammaan wixii isaga ku dhacay, iyo lacagtii uu Haamaan u ballanqaaday inuu siinayo boqorka khasnadihiisa in Yuhuudda la baabbi'iyo aawadeed.

And Mardochai told him all that had happened, how Aman had promised to pay money into the king’s treasures, to have the Jews destroyed.

8 Oo weliba wuxuu isagii u dhiibay naqilka warqaddii oo amarku ku qornaa oo Shuushan lagu faafiyey si Yuhuudda loo wada baabbi'iyo, wuxuuna taas u siiyey inuu Esteer tuso oo uu iyada u warramo, oo wuxuu iyada ku amray inay boqorka u gasho, oo ay barido oo ay isaga hortiisa wax ka weyddiisato dadkeeda aawadiis.

He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to entreat him for her people.

9 Kolkaasaa Hatag yimid oo wuxuu Esteer u sheegay erayadii Mordekay.

And Athach went back and told Esther all that Mardochai had said.

10 Dabadeedna Esteer baa la hadashay Hatag oo waxay farriin ugu sii dhiibtay Mordekay oo ku tidhi,

She answered him, and bade him say to Mardochai:

11 Boqorka addoommadiisa oo dhan iyo dadka boqorka gobolladiisa deggan oo dhammu way wada og yihiin in ku alla kii, isagoo aan loo yeedhin, boqorka ugu soo gala barxadda dhexe, ama nin ha ahaado ama naag ha ahaatee, qaynuun baa loo hayaa, waana in isaga la dilo, haddaan boqorku usha dahabka ah fidin, si uu u noolaado aawadeed; laakiinse aniga la iima yeedhin inaan boqorka u soo galo intii soddon maalmood ah.

All the king’s servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king’s inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him?

12 Kolkaasaa Mordekay loo soo sheegay Esteer erayadeedii.

And when Mardochai had heard this,

13 Markaasuu Mordekay iyagii jawaab ugu sii dhiibay Esteer, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ha moodin inaad adiga qudhaadu guriga boqorka ku baxsan doontid iyadoo aanay Yuhuudda ka baxsan.

He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because thou art in the king a house, more than all the Jews:

14 Waayo, haddaad wakhtigan iska aamustid, waxaa Yuhuudda meel kale uga kici doona furasho iyo samatabbax, laakiinse adiga iyo reerka aabbahaaba waad halligmi doontaan. Bal yaase garanaya inaad wakhtigan oo kale daraaddiis boqortooyada u soo gashay?

For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father’s house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this?

15 Markaasaa Esteer waxay iyaga u sheegtay inay Mordekay jawaab ku celiyaan, oo waxay ku tidhi,

And again Esther sent to Mardochai in these words:

16 Tag, oo soo wada ururi Yuhuudda Shuushan joogta oo dhan, oo ii sooma, oo intii saddex maalmood ah, habeen iyo maalin toona, waxba ha cunina, waxna ha cabbina; oo aniga iyo gabdhahayguna sidaas oo kalaan u soomaynaa; oo kolkaasaan boqorka u gelayaa, taasoo aan sharciga waafaqsanayn; oo haddii aan halligmona, waan halligmayaa.

Go, and gather together all the Jews whom thou shalt find in Susan, and pray ye for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights: and I with my handmaids will fast in like manner, and then I will go in to the king, against the law, not being called, and expose myself to death and to danger.

17 Markaasuu Mordekay iska tegey oo sameeyey wax alla wixii Esteer ku amartay oo dhan.

So Mardochai went, and did all that Esther had commanded him.
