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,
The first law that the king had commanded was to be made effective on March 7th. On that day the enemies of the Jews hoped to get rid of them. But instead, on that same day the Jews defeated their enemies.
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.
Throughout the empire, the Jews gathered together in their cities to attack those who wanted to get rid of them. No one could fight against the Jews, because all the other people in the areas where the Jews lived were afraid of them, [so they did not want to help anyone who attacked the Jews].
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.
All the governors and [other] officials and important people in all the provinces helped the Jews, because they were afraid of Mordecai.
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.
They were afraid of him because in all the provinces [they knew that] Mordecai was now the king’s most important official, [with the authority that Haman previously had]. Mordecai was becoming more famous because [the king was giving him] more and more power.
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.
[On March 7th, ] the Jews attacked and killed with their swords all of their enemies. They did whatever they wanted to do, to the people who hated them.
6 Oo Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka ayay Yuhuuddu shan boqol oo nin ku laayeen oo ku baabbi'iyeen.
[Just] in Susa alone, the capital city, they killed 500 people.
7 Oo waxaa kuwaas ka mid ahaa Farshandaataa iyo Dalfoon iyo Asfaataa,
Among those whom they killed were the ten sons of Haman. [Their names were] 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.
Those were grandsons of Hammedatha and sons of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. The Jews killed them, but they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
11 Oo maalintaas intii lagu laayay Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka tiradoodii waxaa la keenay boqorka hortiisa.
[At the end of] that day someone reported to the king the number of people whom the Jews killed in Susa.
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.
Then the king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed 500 people here in Susa, including the ten sons of Haman! [So I think that] they must have killed many more people in the rest of my empire [RHQ]! [But okay], now what else do you want me to do for you. You tell me, and I will do it.”
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 you, allow the Jews here in Susa to do again tomorrow what [you] commanded [them] to do today. And command that the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows/poles.”
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 the Jews be permitted to kill more of their enemies the next day. After he issued [another] order in Susa, the bodies of Haman’s ten sons were hanged.
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 next day, the Jews in Susa gathered together and killed 300 more people. But [again, ] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
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.
That happened on March 8th. On the following day, the Jews [in Susa] rested and celebrated. In all the other provinces, the Jewish people gathered together to defend themselves, and they killed 75,000 people who hated them, but [again] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
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.
That occurred on March 7th, and on the following day they rested and celebrated.
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.
After the Jews in Susa gathered together [and killed their enemies] on March 7th and 8th, they rested and celebrated on March 9th.
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.
That is why [every year], on March 8th, the Jews who live in villages now celebrate [defeating their enemies]. They have feasts and give gifts [of food] to each other.
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 wrote down all the things that had happened. Then he sent letters to the Jews who lived throughout the empire of King Xerxes.
21 oo wuxuu ku amray iyagii inay sannad walba bisha Adaar, afar iyo tobankeeda iyo shan iyo tobankeeda, dhawraan,
He told them that every year they should celebrate on the 8th and 9th of March,
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.
because those were the days when the Jews got rid of their enemies. He also told them that they should celebrate on those days by feasting and giving gifts [of food] to each other and to poor people. They would remember it as the month in which they changed from being very sorrowful to being very joyful, from crying to celebrating.
23 Oo Yuhuuddiina waxay aqbaleen inay sameeyaan wixii ay bilaabeen, iyo sidii Mordekay uu iyaga u soo qoray,
So the Jews agreed to do what Mordecai wrote. They agreed to celebrate on those days [every year].
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.
They would remember how Haman, son of Hammedatha, a descendant of [King] Agag, became an enemy of all the Jews. [They would remember] how he had made an evil plan to kill the Jews, and that he had (cast lots/thrown small marked stones) to choose the day to kill [DOU] 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.
[They would remember] that when Esther told the king about Haman’s plan, the king arranged that the evil plan that Haman had made to kill the Jews would fail, and that he [would be killed] instead of the Jews, and that Haman and that his sons were hanged.
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,
[Because the (lot/small marked stone) that Haman threw was called] Pur, the Jews called these days Purim. And, because of everything that ([Mordecai] wrote/was written) in that letter, and because of all that happened to them,
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 [throughout the empire] agreed to celebrate in that manner on those two days every year. They said that they would tell their descendants and those people who became Jews to be certain to celebrate this festival every year. They should celebrate just as [Mordecai] told them to do [in the letter] that he wrote.
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.
They said that they would remember and celebrate on those two days every year, in each family, in every city, and in every province. They solemnly declared that they and their descendants would never stop remembering and celebrating those days called Purim.
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.
Then Mordecai and Queen Esther, who was the daughter of Abihail, wrote a second letter about the Purim feast. Esther used the authority that she had because of being the queen to confirm that what Mordecai had written in the first letter was true.
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,
What they wrote [in the second letter] was, “We wish that all of you will be living peacefully and safely/righteously. We want you and your descendants to celebrate Purim each year on the days that we two established, and to do the things that we two told you to do.” In that letter, Queen Esther and Mordecai also gave them instructions about (fasting/abstaining from eating food) and being sorrowful. Then copies of that letter were sent to all the Jews who were living in the 127 provinces of the empire.
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.
32 Oo Esteer amarkeediina wuxuu sii adkeeyey xaalkan ku saabsan FUURIIM; oo buug baa lagu qoray.
The letter that Esther wrote about the manner in which they should celebrate the Purim feast was also written in an official record.
