< 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.
That very day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the property that had belonged to Haman, the enemy of the Jews. Also, Mordecai came before the king, because Esther had explained who he was to her.
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.
The king removed his signet ring which he had taken back from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther put Mordecai in charge of Haman's property.
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.
Esther went to speak to the king again, falling down at his feet and weeping, pleading with him to do away with the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite that he had thought up to destroy the Jews.
4 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Esteer u soo fidiyey ushii dahabka ahayd. Oo taas daraaddeed Esteer way kacday oo waxay istaagtay boqorka hortiisii.
Once again the king held out the golden scepter to Esther. She got 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.
Esther said, “If it please Your Majesty, and if he looks on me favorably, and if the king believes it is the right thing to do, and if he is pleased with me, let an order be issued that revokes the letters sent out by Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, with his devious scheme to destroy the Jews in all the provinces of the king.
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 can I bear to see the disaster about to fall on my people? How can I bear to see the destruction of my family?”
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.
King Xerxes said to Esther the Queen and Mordecai the Jew, “Notice that I have given Haman's estate to Esther, and he was impaled on a pole because he wanted to kill 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.
Now you may write an order regarding the Jews in whatever way you want, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring. For no decree written in the king's name and sealed with his signet ring can be revoked.”
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.
The king's secretaries were summoned, and on the twenty-third day of the third month, the month of Sivan, they wrote a decree of all of Mordecai's orders to the Jews and to the king's chief officers, the governors, and the nobles of the 127 provinces from India to Ethiopia. They wrote to every province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
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.
He wrote in the name of King Xerxes and sealed it with the king's signet ring. He sent the letters by messenger on horseback, who rode fast thoroughbred horses of the king.
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 letters from the king authorized the Jews in every city to gather together in self-defense, and to destroy, kill, and annihilate any armed group of a people or province that might attack them, including women and children, and to confiscate their possessions.
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.
This was to happen on one day throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of 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.
A copy of the decree was to be issued as law in every province and publicized to the people so that the Jews would be ready on that day to pay back 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.
By order of the king, the messengers riding the king's relay horses rushed out, hurrying on their way. The decree was also issued in the fortress of 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.
Then Mordecai left the king, wearing royal clothes of blue and white, with a large golden crown and a purple robe made of fine linen. The city of Susa shouted with joy.
16 Oo Yuhuuddiina waxaa u ahaaday iftiin iyo farxad iyo rayrayn iyo sharaf.
For the Jews it was a bright time of happiness, joy, and respect.
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.
In every province and in every city, wherever the king's order and decree had reached, the Jews were joyful and happy—they feasted and celebrated. Many people became Jews, because they had become afraid of them.
