Esteer 5
1 Haddaba maalintii saddexaad Esteer baa gashatay dharkeedii boqornimada, oo waxay soo istaagtay guriga boqorka barxaddiisa dhexe, taasoo ka soo hor jeedday guriga boqorka; oo boqorkuna wuxuu ku fadhiyey carshigiisii boqornimada oo ku dhex yiil guriga boqornimada, wuxuuna ka soo hor jeeday iridda guriga laga soo galo.
Three days later Esther put on her royal robes and went and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, opposite the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the king's hall, facing the entrance.
2 Oo markii boqorkii arkay Boqorad Esteer oo barxadda dhex taagan ayuu raalli ka noqday iyada, oo boqorkiina wuxuu Esteer ku soo fidiyey ushii dahabka ahayd oo gacantiisa ku jirtay. Markaasaa Esteer soo dhowaatay oo taabatay usha dusheedii.
When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the inner court she won his approval so he acted favorably by holding out his scepter to her. So Esther went over and touched the end of the scepter.
3 Kolkaasuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Boqorad Esteeray, maxaad doonaysaa? Oo maxaad i weyddiisanaysaa? Xataa hadday boqortooyada badhkeed tahay waa lagu siinayaaye.
The king asked her, “What is it, Queen Esther? What do you want? I'll give it to you, as much as half my empire!”
4 Kolkaasaa Esteer waxay tidhi, Boqorow, hadday kula wanaagsan tahay, maanta adiga iyo Haamaanba kaalaya martiqaadka aan u diyaariyey.
Esther replied, “If it please Your Majesty, may the king and Haman come today to a dinner I have prepared for him.”
5 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Haamaan haddiiba ha dhaqsado, si loo yeelo waxay Esteer tidhi. Oo sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii iyo Haamaanba waxay yimaadeen martiqaadkii ay Esteer u diyaarisay.
“Bring Haman here at once so we can do what Esther has requested,” the king ordered. The king and Haman went to the dinner that Esther had prepared.
6 Oo intii martiqaadkii khamriga la joogay ayuu boqorkii Esteer ku yidhi, Baryadaadu waa maxay? Maxaad i weyddiisanaysaa? Xataa hadday boqortooyada badhkeed tahay waa laguu yeelayaaye.
As they drank their wine, the king asked Esther, “What are you really asking for? It will be given to you. What do you want? You shall have it, as much as half my empire!”
7 Markaasaa Esteer jawaabtay oo tidhi, Baryadayda iyo weyddiisashadaydu waxay tahay,
Esther answered, “This is what I'm asking for, and this is what I want.
8 Boqorow, haddaad raalli iga tahay, oo aad ku faraxdid inaad ii samaysid waxaan kaa baryay, oo aad yeeshid waxaan ku weyddiistay, haddaba adiga iyo Haamaan kaalaya martiqaadka aan idiin diyaarin doono, oo aniguna berri baan yeelayaa sidaad tidhi, boqorow.
If the king looks on me favorably, and if it please Your Majesty to grant my request and do as I ask, may the king and Haman come to a dinner I will prepare for them. Tomorrow I will answer Your Majesty's question.”
9 Markaasaa Haamaan maalintaas wuxuu dibadda u baxay isagoo faraxsan oo qalbiga ka rayraynaya. Laakiinse Haamaan markuu arkay Mordekay oo jooga boqorka iriddiisa, oo aan isaga u istaagin, una gariirin, ayuu Mordekay aad iyo aad ugu cadhooday.
When Haman left that day he was very happy and pleased with himself. But when he saw Mordecai at the palace gate and that he didn't stand up or tremble with fear before him, Haman was furious with Mordecai.
10 Habase ahaatee Haamaan wuu isceliyey oo gurigiisuu tegey. Markaasuu u cid dirsaday oo u yeedhay saaxiibbadiis iyo naagtiisii Seresh.
However, Haman controlled himself and he went home. There he invited his friends over. Once they and his wife Zeresh had gathered,
11 Markaasaa Haamaan wuxuu iyagii uga sheekeeyey ammaanta maalkiisa, iyo badnaanta carruurtiisa, iyo kulli derejadihii boqorku isaga u dalliciyey oo dhan, iyo sidii boqorku ugu wada sarraysiiyey boqorka amiirradiisa iyo addoommadiisa oo dhan.
Haman went into great detail about how much money and possessions he had, and how many children, and how the king had made him so important by promoting him above all the other nobles and officials.
12 Oo Haamaan weliba wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Xataa boqoradda Esteer ninna uma ay oggolaan inuu boqorka u soo raaco martiqaadkii ay diyaarisay aniga mooyaane; oo weliba berrina anigoo boqorka la jira ayay i martiqaadday.
“Added to all that,” Haman went on, “I was the only other person Queen Esther invited to come to a dinner she had prepared for the king. I'm also invited by her to eat together with the king tomorrow.”
13 Laakiinse waxaas oo dhammu waxba ii tari maayaan intaan arkayo Yuhuudiga Mordekay oo boqorka iriddiisa fadhiya.
Then he said, “But all of this is worthless to me while I keep on seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting at the palace gate.”
14 Markaasaa naagtiisii Seresh iyo saaxiibbadiis oo dhammu waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Ha la sameeyo qori wax lagu deldelo oo dhererkiisu konton dhudhun yahay, oo subaxda waxaad boqorka ku tidhaahdaa, Mordekay meeshaas ha lagu deldelo. Oo markaas dabadeed adigoo faraxsan boqorka martiqaadka u raac. Kolkaasaa hadalkaasu ka farxiyey Haamaan; oo wuxuu amray in meeshii deldelaadda la sameeyo.
His wife Zeresh and his friends told him, “Arrange for a pole to be set up, fifty cubits high. Then, in the morning, go and ask the king to have Mordecai impaled on it. Afterwards, you'll be happy as you go with the king to the dinner.” Haman thought this was good advice, so he had the pole set up.
