Esteer 1
1 Wakhtigii Ahashwerus (Ahashweruskaasu wuxuu ahaa kii xukumi jiray Hindiya iyo Itoobiya inta ka dhex leh, oo u talin jiray boqol iyo toddoba iyo labaatan gobol)
Now it came about in the days of Ahasuerus, (that Ahasuerus who was ruler of a hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom, from India as far as Ethiopia: )
2 markii Boqor Ahashwerus uu ku fadhiistay carshigii boqortooyadiisa oo ku yiil Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorka,
That in those days, when King Ahasuerus was ruling in Shushan, his strong town,
3 sannaddii saddexaad oo boqornimadiisa ayuu martiqaad u sameeyey amiirradiisii iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, taas oo ay hortiisa joogeen xooggii Faaris iyo Maaday, iyo dadkii gobta ahaa iyo amiirradii gobollada.
In the third year of his rule he gave a feast to all his captains and his servants; and the captains of the army of Persia and Media, the great men and the rulers of the divisions of his kingdom, were present before him;
4 Oo wuxuu soo bannaan dhigay maalkii boqortooyadiisa ammaanta badnayd, iyo sharaftii haybaddiisa sarraysa, intii maalmo badan ah oo gaadha boqol iyo siddeetan maalmood.
And for a long time, even a hundred and eighty days, he let them see all the wealth and the glory of his kingdom and the great power and honour which were his.
5 Oo markii maalmahaasu dhammaadeen ayuu boqorku diyaafad u sameeyey dadkii Shuushan oo hoygii boqorka ahayd joogay oo dhan, yar iyo weynba, intii toddoba maalmood ah, oo diyaafaddiina waxaa lagu dhigay barxaddii beerta ku dhex tiil hoygii boqorka.
And at the end of that time, the king gave a feast for all the people who were present in Shushan, the king's town, small as well as great, for seven days, in the outer square of the garden of the king's house.
6 Oo waxaa meeshaas ka laalaaday daahyo ah caddaan iyo cagaar iyo buluug, oo waxaa ku xidhnaa xadhko laga sameeyey maro wanaagsan iyo dhar guduudan oo sudhan siddooyin lacag ah iyo tiirar marmar ah. Sariiruhuna waxay ahaayeen dahab iyo lacag, oo waxaa la dhigay meel siman oo laga sameeyey marmar ah casaan iyo caddaan iyo huruud iyo madow.
There were fair hangings of white and green and blue, fixed with cords of purple and the best linen to silver rings and pillars of polished stone: the seats were of gold and silver on a floor of red and white and yellow and black stone.
7 Oo waxaa dadka cabniin lagu siiyey weelal dahab ah (oo weelashana midba midka kale wuu ka duwanaa), oo khamrigii boqorkuna wuu badnaa sidii ay ahayd deeqsinimadii boqorku.
And they gave them drink in gold vessels, every vessel being different, and wine of the kingdom, freely given by the king.
8 Oo cabniinkuna wuxuu waafaqsanaa qaynuunka, dirqina ma jirin, waayo, boqorku wuxuu madaxdii gurigiisa oo dhan ku amray inay nin kasta u yeelaan siduu doonayo.
And the drinking was in keeping with the law; no one was forced: for the king had given orders to all the chief servants of his house to do as was pleasing to every man.
9 Oo weliba Boqorad Washtiina waxay dumarkii diyaafad ugu samaysay hoygii reer boqor oo uu Boqor Ahashwerus lahaa.
And Vashti the queen gave a feast for the women in the house of King Ahasuerus.
10 Oo maalintii toddobaad boqorkii, isagoo qalbigiisu khamri ku faraxsan yahay, wuxuu amray toddobadii midiidin oo Boqor Ahashwerus ka adeegi jiray oo ahaa Mehuumaan, Bista, Xarboona, Bigtaa, Abagta, Seetar, iyo Karkas,
On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was glad with wine, he gave orders to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven unsexed servants who were waiting before Ahasuerus the king,
11 oo wuxuu iyagii ku amray inay Boqorad Washtii hortiisa keenaan, iyadoo qabta taajkii boqornimada, si quruxdeeda loo tuso dadka iyo amiirrada, waayo, iyadu waxay lahayd suurad wanaagsan oo in la fiirsado ku fiican.
That Vashti the queen was to come before him, crowned with her crown, and let the people and the captains see her: for she was very beautiful.
12 Laakiinse boqoraddii Washtii ahayd way diidday inay ku timaado amarkii boqorku ugu soo dhiibay midiidinnada. Sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii aad buu u xanaaqay, oo cadhadiisiina wuu la gubtay.
But when the servants gave her the king's order, Vashti the queen said she would not come: then the king was very angry, and his heart was burning with wrath.
13 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu la hadlay nimankii xigmadda lahaa oo xilliyada yiqiin, (waayo, boqorka caadadiisu saasay ahayd xagga kulli kuwii sharcigii yiqiin iyo xukunkaba,
And the king said to the wise men, who had knowledge of the times, (for this was the king's way with all who were expert in law and in the giving of decisions:
14 oo waxaa isaga ku xigay Karshena, Shetaar, Admata, Tarshiish, Meres, Marsena, iyo Memuukaan oo ahaa toddobadii amiir oo Faaris iyo Maaday, oo arkay boqorka wejigiisa, oo fadhiyey boqortooyada derejadeeda kowaad),
And second only to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven rulers of Persia and Media, who were friends of the king, and had the first places in the kingdom: )
15 oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaan ku samaynaa Boqorad Washtii sida sharciga waafaqsan? Maxaa yeelay, iyadu ma ay yeelin yeedhiddii Boqor Ahashwerus iyada midiidinnada ugu sii dhiibay.
What is to be done by law to Vashti the queen, because she has not done what King Ahasuerus, by his servants, gave her orders to do?
16 Markaasaa Memuukaan jawaabay, oo wuxuu boqorkii iyo amiirradii hortooda ka yidhi, Boqorad Washtii boqorka oo keliya ma ay xumayn, laakiinse waxay xumaysay amiirrada oo dhan, iyo dadka deggan Boqor Ahashwerus gobolladiisa oo dhan.
And before the king and the captains, Memucan gave his answer: Vashti the queen has done wrong, not only to the king, but to all the captains and to all the peoples in all the divisions of the kingdom of King Ahasuerus;
17 Haddaba wixii ay boqoraddu samaysay wuu wada gaadhi doonaa dumarka oo dhan, kolkaasay nimankooda quudhsan doonaan markii warkan loo sheego, oo lagu yidhaahdo, Boqorkii Ahashwerus wuxuu amray in Boqorad Washtii hortiisa la keeno, laakiinse ma ay iman.
For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.
18 Haddaba isla maantadan amiiradaha Faaris iyo Maaday oo maqlay wixii ay boqoraddu samaysay, sidaasoo kalay ku odhan doonaan boqorka amiirradiisa oo dhan. Oo saas aawadeed waxaa kici doona quudhsasho iyo xanaaq badan.
And the wives of the captains of Persia and Media, hearing what the queen has done, will say the same to all the king's captains. So there will be much shame and wrath.
19 Haddaba haddii boqorku raalli ka yahay, amar boqornimo ha bixiyo, oo amarkaasna si aan loo beddelin ha lagu dhex qoro qaynuunnada reer Faaris iyo reer Maaday, inaanay boqoradda Washtii mar dambe iman Boqor Ahashwerus hortiisa. Boqorkuna boqoradnimadeedii ha siiyo mid kale oo iyada ka wanaagsan.
If it is pleasing to the king, let an order go out from him, and let it be recorded among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it may never be changed, that Vashti is never again to come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her place to another who is better than she.
20 Oo marka boqorka amarkiisa uu bixin doono lagu faafiyo boqortooyadiisa oo dhan (waayo, way weyn tahay) ayaa dumarka oo dhammu nimankooda maamuusi doonaan, yar iyo weynba.
And when this order, given by the king, is made public through all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give honour to their husbands, great as well as small.
21 Oo odhaahdaasu waxay ka farxisay boqorkii iyo amiirradii oo dhanba, kolkaasuu boqorkii yeelay sidii uu Memuukaan yidhi.
And this suggestion seemed good to the king and the captains; and the king did as Memucan said;
22 Oo wuxuu warqado u diray boqorka gobolladiisii oo dhan, oo gobol walba wuxuu ugu qoray fartiisii, oo dad kastana wuxuu ugu qoray afkoodii, si nin kastaa ugu taliyo reerkiisa oo uu ku sheego afka dadkiisu ku hadlo.
And sent letters to all the divisions of the kingdom, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs, saying that every man was to be the ruler in his house, and that this order was to be given out in the language of his people.
