Esteer 8
1 Oo isla maalintaas ayaa Boqor Ahashwerus wuxuu gurigii Haamaan oo ahaa cadowgii Yuhuudda siiyey Boqorad Esteer. Mordekayna wuxuu yimid boqorka hortiisii, waayo, Esteer ayaa boqorka u sheegtay wuxuu iyada u ahaa.
On that day king, Artaxerxes gave the house of Haman, the adversary of the Jews, to queen Esther, and Mordecai entered before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her paternal uncle.
2 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu iska soo bixiyey kaatunkiisii uu Haamaan ka soo qaatay, oo wuxuu siiyey Mordekay. Esteerna gurigii Haamaan ayay Mordekay madax uga dhigtay.
And the king took the ring, which he had ordered to be taken from Haman, and he handed it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed Mordecai over her house.
3 Oo Esteer boqorka hortiisii ayay haddana ka hadashay, oo intay cagihiisa ku dhacday ayay iyadoo ooyaysa ka bariday inuu baabbi'iyo belaayadii Haamaan kii reer Agag iyo xeeladdiisii uu Yuhuudda ku samaynayay.
Not content with these things, she threw herself down at the king’s feet and wept, and, speaking to him, pleaded that he would give orders that the malice of Haman the Agagite, and his most wicked schemes, which he had contrived against the Jews, would be made ineffective.
4 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Esteer u soo fidiyey ushii dahabka ahayd. Oo taas daraaddeed Esteer way kacday oo waxay istaagtay boqorka hortiisii.
But he, as was the custom, extended the golden scepter with his hand, which was the sign of clemency, and she rose up and stood before him.
5 Oo kolkaasay tidhi, Boqorow, haddaad ku faraxsan tahay, oo aad raalli iga tahay, oo haddii xaalkaasu kula wanaagsan yahay, oo aad ii bogtay, ha la qoro warqado lagu beddelo warqadihii uu xeeladda ku qoray Haamaan ina Hamedaata oo ahaa reer Agag, kuwaasoo uu u qoray in lagu baabbi'iyo Yuhuudda boqorka gobolladiisa deggan oo dhan.
And she said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his eyes, and my request is not seen to be disagreeable to him, I beg you that the former letters of Haman, the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he instructed them to be destroyed in all the king’s provinces, may be corrected by new letters.
6 Waayo, bal sidee baan ugu adkaysan karaa inaan arko belaayada dadkayga ku dhacaysa? Amase sidee baan ugu adkaysan karaa inaan arko baabbi'inta dadkayga?
For how will I be able to endure the murder and execution of my people?”
7 Markaasaa Boqor Ahashwerus wuxuu Boqorad Esteer iyo Yuhuudigii Mordekay ku yidhi, Bal eega, gurigii Haamaan ayaan Esteer siiyey, isagiina waxaa lagu deldelay meesha deldelaadda, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu gacan ku fidiyey Yuhuudda.
And king Artaxerxes answered Esther the queen and Mordecai the Jew, “I have granted Haman’s house to Esther, and I have ordered him to be fastened to a cross, because he dared to lay hands on the Jews.
8 Haddaba idinku sidaad doonaysaan Yuhuudda warqado ugu qora. Magaca boqorka ku qora, oo ku shaabadeeya kaatunka boqorka, waayo, qorniinkii lagu qoro boqorka magiciisa, oo haddana kaatunka boqorka lagu shaabadeeyo, ninna ma beddeli karo.
Therefore, write to the Jews, just as it pleases you, in the king’s name, sealing the letters with my ring.” For this was the custom, that letters which were sent in the king’s name and were sealed with his ring, no one would dare to contradict.
9 Oo markaasaa isla wakhtigaasba waxaa loo yeedhay boqorka karraaniyadiisii. Oo waxayna ahayd bisha Siwaan, oo ah bisha saddexaad, maalinteedii saddex iyo labaatanaad. Oo waxaa la qoray wax alla wixii Mordekay uu ku amray Yuhuuddii iyo saraakiishii iyo taliyayaashii iyo amiirradii joogay gobolladii ku yiil Hindiya iyo Itoobiya inta ka dhex leh, oo ahaa boqol iyo toddoba iyo labaatan gobol, oo waxaa gobol kasta loogu qoray fartiisii, dad kastana waxaa loogu qoray afkoodii, oo Yuhuuddiina waxaa loogu qoray fartoodii iyo afkoodiiba.
Then the scribes and copyists were brought in, (now it was the time of the third month which is called Sivan, ) on the twenty-third day of the month, and letters were written, as Mordecai wanted, to the Jews, and to the governors, and procurators, and judges, who presided over the one hundred twenty-seven provinces, from India all the way to Ethiopia: to one province and another, to one people and another, in accordance with their languages and letters, and to the Jews, exactly as they were able to read and hear.
10 Oo wuxuu warqadihii ku qoray Boqor Ahashwerus magiciisii, oo ku shaabadeeyey kaatunkii boqorka, markaasuu u sii dhiibay warqaadayaal fuushan fardo iyo baqlo iyo rakuubbo.
And these letters, which were sent in the king’s name, had been signed with his ring, and were sent by swift couriers who were to rush in every direction, through all the provinces, so as to prevent the former letters with new messages.
11 Oo boqorkii wuxuu u oggolaaday Yuhuuddii magaalo kasta degganayd inay isa soo wada urursadaan oo ay daaficidda naftooda isu taagaan, oo ay baabbi'iyaan, oo laayaan, oo halaag ku ridaan kulli xooggii dadka iyo gobolkii doonayay inay weeraraan iyaga iyo dhallaankooda iyo dumarkoodaba, iyo inay maalkooda booli ahaan u dhacaan.
The king commanded them to bring together the Jews throughout each city, and to instruct them to join together, so as to make a stand for their lives, and to execute and destroy all their enemies, with their wives and children and their entire houses, and to plunder their spoil.
12 Oo amarkii wuxuu ahaa in Boqor Ahashwerus gobolladiisa oo dhan saas isku maalin laga yeelo, taas oo ah maalinta saddex iyo tobnaad oo bisha laba iyo tobnaad ee Adaar la yidhaahdo.
And one day of retribution was established throughout all the provinces, namely, the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar.
13 Oo warqaddii amarku ku qornaa naqilkeedii ayaa lagu faafiyey gobol kasta, oo waxaa loo sii dhiibay dadyowga oo dhan, taasoo leh, Maalintaas Yuhuuddu diyaar ha u ahaadeen inay ka aarsadaan cadaawayaashooda.
And such was the content of the letter, so that it would be made known in all lands and nations, which are subject to the authority of king Artaxerxes, that the Jews have been made ready to be vindicated of their enemies.
14 Oo sidaas daraaddeed warqaadayaashii fuushanaa baqlo iyo rakuubbo way ambabbexeen, iyagoo degdegsan oo ku dhaqsanaya boqorka amarkiisa; oo amarkiina waxaa lagu naadiyey Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka.
And so the swift couriers departed in haste, carrying through the announcement, and the king’s edict was hung up in Susa.
15 Markaasaa Mordekay wuxuu ka tegey boqorka hortiisii isagoo qaba dhar boqortooyo oo ah buluug iyo caddaan, oo madaxana waxaa u saarnaa taaj weyn oo dahab ah, wuxuuna huwanaa shulug laga sameeyey maro wanaagsan oo guduudan, oo magaaladii Shuushanna waa laga qayliyey oo laga farxay.
But Mordecai, going forth from the palace and from the king’s presence, shone in royal apparel the color of hyacinth and of the sky, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced and was joyful.
16 Oo Yuhuuddiina waxaa u ahaaday iftiin iyo farxad iyo rayrayn iyo sharaf.
But for the Jews, a new light seemed to rise; there was joy, honor, and dancing.
17 Oo gobol kasta iyo magaalo kasta oo boqorka amarkiisii iyo naadadiisii ay gaadheen, Yuhuuddii waxaa u ahaaday farxad iyo rayrayn, iyo iid iyo maalin wanaagsan. Oo qaar badan oo ka mid ahaa dadyowgii dalka degganaa waxay noqdeen Yuhuud, maxaa yeelay, waxaa iyaga ku dhacday cabsidii ay Yuhuudda ka cabsanayeen.
With all the peoples, cities, and provinces, wherever the king’s orders arrived, there was wonderful rejoicing, banquets and feasts, and a solemn holy day, so much so that many of the other nations joined themselves to their religious practices and ceremonies. For a great fear of the name of the Jews had overcome them all.
