Esteer 9
1 Haddaba bishii laba iyo tobnaad, oo ahayd bisha Adaar, maalinteedii saddex iyo tobnaad, markii boqorka amarkiisii iyo naadadiisii ay soo dhowaadeen in la oofiyo, maalintaas oo ahayd maalintii Yuhuudda cadaawayaashoodii ay rajaynayeen inay Yuhuudda u taliyaan, laakiin loo beddelay oo ay noqotay maalintii ay Yuhuuddii u taliyeen kuwii iyaga nebcaa,
On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the king’s command and edict were to be executed. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but their plan was overturned and the Jews overpowered those who hated them.
2 ayaa Yuhuuddii iska soo wada urursadeen magaalooyinkoodii ku yiil gobolladii Boqor Ahashwerus oo dhan inay gacan u qaadaan kuwii doonayay inay iyaga wax yeelaan; oo mana jirin nin iyaga hor istaagi karay, maxaa yeelay, cabsidoodii baa ku dhacday dadyowgii oo dhan.
In each of the provinces of King Xerxes, the Jews assembled in their cities to attack those who sought to harm them. No man could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen upon all peoples.
3 Oo waxaa Yuhuuddii caawiyey amiirradii gobollada oo dhan, iyo saraakiishii, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo kuwii boqorka hawshiisii qaban jiray oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, iyagu waxay ka cabsanayeen Mordekay.
And all the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and the king’s administrators helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them.
4 Waayo, Mordekay wuxuu ku weynaa gurigii boqorka, oo warkiisuna wuxuu wada gaadhay gobollada oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, ninkii Mordekay ahaa aad iyo aad buu u sii weynaaday.
For Mordecai exercised great power in the palace, and his fame spread throughout the provinces as he became more and more powerful.
5 Oo Yuhuuddiina cadaawayaashoodii oo dhan waxay la dhaceen seef, wayna laayeen, oo baabbi'iyeen, oo waxay iyagii ku sameeyeen wixii ay doonayeen inay kuwa iyaga neceb ku sameeyaan.
The Jews put all their enemies to the sword, killing and destroying them, and they did as they pleased to those who hated them.
6 Oo Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka ayay Yuhuuddu shan boqol oo nin ku laayeen oo ku baabbi'iyeen.
In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men,
7 Oo waxaa kuwaas ka mid ahaa Farshandaataa iyo Dalfoon iyo Asfaataa,
including Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 iyo Fooraataa iyo Adaliyaa iyo Ariidaataa,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 iyo Farmashtaa iyo Ariisay iyo Ariiday iyo Waysaataa,
Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha.
10 oo dhammaantood ahaa tobankii wiil oo uu dhalay Haamaan ina Hamedaata oo ahaa Yuhuudda cadowgoodii. Kuwaasay wada dileen, laakiinse maalkoodii far ma ay saarin.
They killed these ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
11 Oo maalintaas intii lagu laayay Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka tiradoodii waxaa la keenay boqorka hortiisa.
On that day the number of those killed in the citadel of Susa was reported to the king,
12 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Boqorad Esteer ku yidhi, Yuhuuddii waxay Shuushan oo ah hoygayga ku laayeen oo ku baabbi'iyeen shan boqol oo nin, iyo Haamaan tobankiisii wiil. Oo gobolladayda intooda kale maxay ku sameeyeen! Haddaba baryadaadu waa maxay, waa lagu siinayaaye? Amase maxaad kaloo weyddiisanaysaa? Waa laguu samaynayaaye.
who said to Queen Esther, “In the citadel of Susa the Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men, including Haman’s ten sons. What have they done in the rest of the royal provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be given to you. And what further do you request? It will be fulfilled.”
13 Kolkaasaa Esteer waxay tidhi, Haddii boqorku raalli ku yahay, Yuhuudda Shuushan joogta ha la siiyo fasax ay berrito ku sameeyaan si waafaqsan amarkan maanta dhacay, oo Haamaan tobankiisa wiilba ha lagu deldelo meesha deldelaadda.
Esther replied, “If it pleases the king, may the Jews in Susa also have tomorrow to carry out today’s edict, and may the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”
14 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu amray in saas la yeelo, oo amar baa Shuushan lagu naadiyey, oo Haamaan wiilashiisiina waa la deldelay.
So the king commanded that this be done. An edict was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman.
15 Oo haddana Yuhuuddii Shuushan joogtay dhammaantood way isa soo wada urursadeen bishii Adaar, maalinteedii afar iyo tobnaad, oo waxay Shuushan ku laayeen saddex boqol oo nin, laakiinse maalkoodii far ma ay saarin.
On the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, the Jews in Susa came together again and put to death three hundred men there, but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
16 Oo Yuhuuddii kale oo joogay boqorka gobolladiisa iyana dhammaantood way isa soo wada urursadeen, oo ay daaficidda naftooda isu taageen, oo way ka raysteen cadaawayaashoodii, oo waxay kuwii iyaga nebcaa ka laayeen shan iyo toddobaatan kun oo qof, laakiinse maalkoodii far ma ay saarin.
The rest of the Jews in the royal provinces also assembled to defend themselves and rid themselves of their enemies. They killed 75,000 who hated them, but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
17 Oo taasuna waxay dhacday bishii Adaar, maalinteedii saddex iyo tobnaad, oo bishaas maalinteedii afar iyo tobnaadna way nasteen, oo waxay ka dhigeen maalin iid ah oo farxad badan.
This was done on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested, making it a day of feasting and joy.
18 Laakiinse Yuhuuddii Shuushan joogtay way isa soo wada urursadeen bishaas, maalinteedii saddex iyo tobnaad, iyo maalinteedii afar iyo tobnaad, oo isla bishaas, maalinteedii shan iyo tobnaadna way nasteen, oo waxay ka dhigeen maalin iid ah oo farxad badan.
The Jews in Susa, however, had assembled on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days of the month. So they rested on the fifteenth day, making it a day of feasting and joy.
19 Haddaba Yuhuuddii tuulooyinka joogtay oo degganayd magaalooyinka aan derbiga lahayn, bisha Adaar, maalinteeda afar iyo tobnaad, waxay ka dhigaan maalin farxadeed oo iid ah, oo maalin wanaagsan ah, iyo maalin waxyaalo wanaagsan mid ba midka kale u diro.
This is why the rural Jews, who live in the villages, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of joy and feasting. It is a holiday for sending gifts to one another.
20 Markaasaa Mordekay waxyaalahaas oo dhan qoray, oo wuxuu warqado u diray kulli Yuhuuddii joogtay Boqor Ahashwerus gobolladiisa oo dhan, kuwii dhowaa iyo kuwii fogaaba,
Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews in all the provinces of King Xerxes, both near and far,
21 oo wuxuu ku amray iyagii inay sannad walba bisha Adaar, afar iyo tobankeeda iyo shan iyo tobankeeda, dhawraan,
to establish among them an annual celebration on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar
22 oo ay ka dhigaan maalmihii Yuhuuddii ay cadaawayaashoodii ka raysteen iyo bishii xaggooda ay murugtii farxad u beddelantay, baroortiina maalin wanaagsan; inay ka dhigaan maalmo iid ah oo farxad badan, oo mid ba midka kale waxyaalo wanwanaagsan u diro, oo masaakiintana hadiyado la siiyo.
as the days on which the Jews gained rest from their enemies and the month in which their sorrow turned to joy and their mourning into a holiday. He wrote that these were to be days of feasting and joy, of sending gifts to one another and to the poor.
23 Oo Yuhuuddiina waxay aqbaleen inay sameeyaan wixii ay bilaabeen, iyo sidii Mordekay uu iyaga u soo qoray,
So the Jews agreed to continue the custom they had started, as Mordecai had written to them.
24 maxaa yeelay, Haamaan ina Hamedaata oo ahaa reer Agag, oo Yuhuudda oo dhan cadowgooda ahaa, xeelad buu ku sameeyey Yuhuudda inuu iyaga baabbi'iyo, oo wuxuu riday saami Fuur la odhan jiray, si uu u laayo oo uu u baabbi'iyo.
For Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them and had cast the Pur (that is, the lot) to crush and destroy them.
25 Laakiinse markuu xaalkaasu boqorka hortiisa yimid, wuxuu amray oo warqado ku qoray in xeeladdiisii uu Yuhuudda ku sameeyey ay madaxiisa ku soo noqoto, iyo in isaga iyo wiilashiisiiba lagu deldelo meesha deldelaadda.
But when it came before the king, he commanded by letter that the wicked scheme which Haman had devised against the Jews should come back upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed maalmahaas waxay u bixiyeen FUURIIM, oo waxay ugu yeedheen saamigii magiciisii FUUR la odhan jiray. Saas aawadeed warqaddan erayadeedii oo dhan, iyo wixii xaalkan ku saabsanaa oo ay arkeen, iyo wixii iyaga u yimid,
Therefore these days are called Purim, from the word Pur. Because of all the instructions in this letter, and because of all they had seen and experienced,
27 Yuhuuddu waxay amreen oo dul saareen iyaga iyo farcankooda, iyo in alla intii iyaga ku darmatay, inaanay ka baaqan, inay labadaas maalmood u dhawraan sannad kasta sida waafaqsan waxa laga qoray, iyo goor waafaqsan xilligii la yidhi;
the Jews bound themselves to establish the custom that they and their descendants and all who join them should not fail to celebrate these two days at the appointed time each and every year, according to their regulation.
28 iyo in qarni kastaa, iyo qolo kastaa, iyo dal kastaa, iyo magaalo kastaaba ay maalmahaas xusuustaan oo dhawraan, iyo in maalmahaas FUURIIM la yidhaahdo aanay Yuhuuddu ka baaqan, oo aanay xusuustooduna xataa farcankooda dambe ka baabbi'in.
These days should be remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews, nor should the memory of them fade from their descendants.
29 Markaasaa Boqorad Esteer oo ahayd ina Abiixayil, iyo Yuhuudigii Mordekay ahaa waxay amar buuxa ku qoreen, si ay u adkeeyaan warqaddan labaad oo ku saabsan FUURIIM.
So Queen Esther daughter of Abihail, along with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter concerning Purim.
30 Oo waxaa warqado loo diray kulli Yuhuuddii joogtay boqol iyo toddoba iyo labaatankii gobol oo boqortooyadii Ahashwerus, oo waxaa loogu dhawaaqay hadal nabaadiino iyo run ah,
And Mordecai sent letters with words of peace and truth to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Xerxes,
31 si loo adkeeyo maalmahaas FUURIIM la yidhaahdo wakhtigooda, sidii ay u amreen Yuhuudigii Mordekay iyo Boqorad Esteer, iyo sidii ay iyagu nafsaddooda iyo farcankooda ugu amreen xaalkii soonka iyo qayladoodii.
in order to confirm these days of Purim at their appointed time, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established them and had committed themselves and their descendants to the times of fasting and lamentation.
32 Oo Esteer amarkeediina wuxuu sii adkeeyey xaalkan ku saabsan FUURIIM; oo buug baa lagu qoray.
So Esther’s decree confirmed these regulations about Purim, which were written into the record.
