Esteer 6
1 Habeenkaasna boqorkii wuu seexan kari waayay, kolkaasuu amray in loo keeno buuggii taariikhda wakhtigaas, oo waxaa lagu akhriyey boqorka hortiisa.
That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before him,
2 Oo waxaa laga dhex helay oo ku qornaa in Mordekay sheegay Bigtaan iyo Teresh oo ahaa boqorka labadiisii midiidin oo ka mid ahaa kuwii iridda dhawri jiray, kuwaas oo doonay inay Boqor Ahashwerus dilaan.
They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus.
3 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Taas aawadeed maxaa maamuus iyo derejo ah oo Mordekay loo sameeyey? Kolkaasaa addoommadii boqorka u adeegi jiray waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, Waxba looma samayn.
And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all.
4 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Yaa barxadda jooga? Haddaba Haamaan ayaa yimid guriga boqorka barxaddiisa dibadda ah inuu boqorka kala hadlo in Mordekay lagu deldelo qorigii deldelaadda oo uu isaga u diyaariyey.
And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king’s house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet which was prepared for him.
5 Markaasaa boqorka addoommadiisii waxay isaga ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, Haamaan baa taagan barxadda. Kolkaasaa boqorkii yidhi, Ha soo galo.
The servants answered: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in.
6 Markaasuu Haamaan soo galay, oo boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso maxaa loo yeelaa? Haddaba Haamaan wuxuu qalbigiisa iska yidhi, Bal yaa boqorku ku farxi lahaa inuu maamuuso in ka badan intuu i maamuuso?
And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself,
7 Oo Haamaan wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso
Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,
8 ha loo keeno dharkii boqornimada oo boqorku xidhan jiray, iyo faraska boqorku fuulo, oo madaxana ha loo saaro taajka boqorka,
Ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head,
9 oo dharka iyo faraska gacanta ha loo geliyo boqorka amiirradiisa sharafta leh midkood, in loo lebbiso ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso. Oo isaga inta faras la fuushiiyo, jidka magaalada dhexdeeda ha la mariyo, oo hortiisa ha laga naadiyo, Ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso sidaasaa loo yeelaa.
And let the first of the king’s princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
10 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Haamaan ku yidhi, Haddaba soo dhaqso, oo waxaad soo qaaddaa dharkii iyo faraskii aad sheegtay, oo wixii aad sheegtay oo dhan u samee Mordekay oo ah Yuhuudiga fadhiya boqorka iriddiisa; oo wixii aad sheegtay oo dhan yaan waxba ka dhinnaan.
And the king said to him: Make haste and take the robe and the horse, and do as thou hast spoken to Mardochai the Jew, who sitteth before the gates of the palace. Beware thou pass over any of those things which thou hast spoken.
11 Kolkaasaa Haamaan wuxuu soo qaaday dharkii iyo faraskii oo wuxuu u lebbisay Mordekay, oo isagoo faraskii fuushan ayuu mariyey jidka magaalada, oo wuxuu hortiisa ka naadiyey, Sidaasaa loo yeelaa ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso.
So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
12 Haddaba Mordekay wuxuu mar kale ku soo noqday boqorka iriddiisii. Laakiinse Haamaan isagoo murugaysan oo hagoogan ayuu gurigiisii dhaqso u tegey.
But Mardochai returned to the palace gate: and Aman made haste to go to his house, mourning and having his head covered:
13 Markaasaa Haamaan wuxuu naagtiisii Seresh iyo saaxiibbadiis oo dhan uga sheekeeyey wixii isaga ku dhacay oo dhan. Kolkaasaa raggiisii xigmadda lahaa iyo naagtiisii Seresh waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Mordekay oo aad bilowday inaad hortiisa ku dhacdo, hadduu yahay farcanka Yuhuudda, ka adkaan maysid, laakiinse hubaal hortiisaad ku dhici doontaa.
And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight.
14 Oo weliba intay isagii la sii hadlayeen waxaa yimid boqorka midiidinnadiisii, oo u soo dhaqsaday inay haddiiba Haamaan keenaan martiqaadkii Esteer diyaarisay.
As they were yet speaking, the king’s eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared.
