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.

When Mordecai ascertained all that had been done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth [strewed] with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and bitter cry;

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

And thus he came up to the front of the king's gate; for none dared to enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

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 each and every province, in every place whither the king's decree and his law had reached, there was great mourning for the Jews, with fasting and weeping and wailing; and a sackcloth [strewed] with ashes became the bed of the great.

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 came the maidens of Esther with her chamberlains and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly terrified; and she sent garments to clothe Mordecai, and to remove his sackcloth from him, but he accepted them not.

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.

Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a charge for Mordecai to know what this was, and why this was.

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

So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's 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 Mordecai told him all that had happened unto him, and of the fixed sum of money which Haman had promised to weigh out into the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them.

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.

Also the copy of the writing of the law that had been given out in Shushan to destroy them he gave to him, to show it unto Esther, and to tell her [all], and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, and to make supplication unto him, and to present a request before him for her people.

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

And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

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

And Esther said unto Hatach, and gave him a charge unto Mordecai,

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 the people of the king's provinces, do know, that every one, whether man or woman, who should come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is but one law for him, to put him to death, except the one to whom the king should hold out the golden sceptre, for he will be suffered to live; but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

12 Kolkaasaa Mordekay loo soo sheegay Esteer erayadeedii.

And they told Mordecai the words of Esther.

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.

Then said Mordecai to bring this answer back to Esther, Imagine not in thy soul to be able to escape in the king's house out of 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 do indeed maintain silence at this time, enlargement and deliverance will arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house will perish: and who knoweth whether thou hast not for a time like this attained to the royal dignity?

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

Then said Esther to bring this answer back to Mordecai,

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, assemble together all the Jews who are now present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, so that ye neither eat nor drink three days, either night or day; also I myself with my maidens will fast in like manner; and then will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I then perish, I perish.

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

And Mordecai went about, and did in accordance with all that Esther had charged him.
