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.

Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on [her] royal [apparel], and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

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.

And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, [that] she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that [was] in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

3 Kolkaasuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Boqorad Esteeray, maxaad doonaysaa? Oo maxaad i weyddiisanaysaa? Xataa hadday boqortooyada badhkeed tahay waa lagu siinayaaye.

And the king said, What will you, Esther? and what is your request? [ask] even to the half of my kingdom, and it shall be yours.

4 Kolkaasaa Esteer waxay tidhi, Boqorow, hadday kula wanaagsan tahay, maanta adiga iyo Haamaanba kaalaya martiqaadka aan u diyaariyey.

And Esther said, To-day is my great day: if then it seem good to the king, let both him and Aman come to the feast which I will prepare this day.

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.

And the king said, Hasten Aman hither, that we may perform the word of Esther. So they both come to the feast of which Esther had spoken.

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.

And at the banquet the king said to Esther, What is [your request], queen Esther? [speak], and you shall have all that you require.

7 Markaasaa Esteer jawaabtay oo tidhi, Baryadayda iyo weyddiisashadaydu waxay tahay,

And she said, My request and my petition [are]:

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 I have found favor in the sight of the king, let the king and Aman come again to-morrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and to-morrow I will do the same.

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.

So Aman went out from the king very glad [and] merry: but when Aman saw Mardochaeus the Jew in the court, he was greatly enraged.

10 Habase ahaatee Haamaan wuu isceliyey oo gurigiisuu tegey. Markaasuu u cid dirsaday oo u yeedhay saaxiibbadiis iyo naagtiisii Seresh.

And having gone into his own house, he called his friends, and his wife Zosara.

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.

And he showed them his wealth, and the glory with which the king had invested him, and how he had caused him to take precedence and bear chief rule in the kingdom.

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.

And Aman said, The queen has called no one to the feast with the king but me, and I am invited to-morrow.

13 Laakiinse waxaas oo dhammu waxba ii tari maayaan intaan arkayo Yuhuudiga Mordekay oo boqorka iriddiisa fadhiya.

But these things please me not, while I see Mardochaeus the Jew in the court.

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.

And Zosara his wife and his friends said to him, Let there be a gallows made for you of fifty cubits, and in the morning do you speak to the king, and let Mardochaeus be hanged on the gallows: but do you go in to the feast with the king, and be merry. And the saying pleased Aman, and the gallows was prepared.
