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 on the third day, Esther put on her royal clothing and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance 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.

When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter.

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

Then the king asked her, “What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.”

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

Esther said, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that 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.

Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet 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.

The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”

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

Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this.

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, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said.”

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.

Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he didn’t stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.

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

Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.

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 recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

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.

Haman also said, “Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.

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

Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s 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.

Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet.” This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
