Esteer 3
1 Oo waxyaalahaas dabadeed Boqor Ahashwerus wuxuu dalliciyey oo kursigiisii ka sarraysiiyey amiirradii isaga la joogay oo dhan Haamaan ina Hamedaata oo ahaa reer Agag, oo isaga wuu hore mariyey.
After these events King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him to a place above all the officials who were with him.
2 Oo waxaa Haamaan u foororsaday oo u sujuuday boqorka addoommadiisii iriddiisa joogay oo dhan, waayo, boqorka ayaa in saas loo yeelo amray. Laakiinse Mordekay uma uu foororsan, umana sujuudin.
All the king’s courtiers who were in the king’s gate used to bow down before Haman, for so the king had commanded, but Mordecai did not bow down nor prostrate himself.
3 Markaasaa addoommadii boqorka oo joogay boqorka iriddiisa waxay Mordekay ku yidhaahdeen, War maxaad u jebinaysaa boqorka amarkiisa?
Then the king’s courtiers, who were in the king’s gate, said to Mordecai, ‘Why do you disobey the king’s command?’
4 Haddaba waxaa dhacday, markay maalin kasta saas ku lahaayeen, laakiinse isagu uusan dheg u dhigin, inay warkaas Haamaan u sheegeen inay arkaan bal wuxuu xaalka Mordekay noqdo, waayo, wuxuu iyagii u sheegay inuu Yuhuud yahay.
When they had spoken to him day after day without his listening to them, they informed Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s acts would be tolerated, for he had told them that he was a Jew.
5 Haamaanna markuu arkay inaan Mordekay u foororsan oo aanu u sujuudin, ayuu Haamaan aad u cadhooday.
When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down nor prostrate himself before him, he was furious.
6 Laakiinse wuu quudhsaday inuu Mordekay oo qudha gacanta saaro, waayo, waxaa isaga loo sheegay Mordekay qabiilkiisa; oo sidaas daraaddeed Haamaan wuxuu doonayay inuu wada baabbi'iyo Yuhuudda boqortooyada Ahashwerus deggan oo dhan, kuwaasoo ahaa Mordekay qabiilkiisii.
But it seemed to him beneath his dignity to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who Mordecai’s people were. Instead Haman sought to destroy all the people of Mordecai, all the Jews throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
7 Oo sannaddii laba iyo tobnaad oo Boqor Ahashwerus, bisheedii kowaad taasoo ah bisha Niisaan ayay Haamaan hortiisa ku rideen saami magiciisa la yidhaahdo Fuur, oo taasuna waxay socotay maalin ka maalin, iyo bil ka bil, ilaa bishii laba iyo tobnaad oo ah bisha Adaar.
In the first month (the month of Nisan) in the twelfth year of the reign of King Ahasuerus, Haman had “pur” (which means “lot”) cast before him to determine the best day and best month for his actions. The lot fell on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month – the month of Adar.
8 Markaasaa Haamaan wuxuu Boqor Ahashwerus ku yidhi, Waxaa jira dad ku wada dhex firidhsan dadyowga deggan gobollada boqortooyadaada oo dhan, qaynuunnadooduna way ka wada duwan yihiin kuwa dadyowga kale oo dhan. Iyaguna qaynuunnada boqorka ma dhawraan. Sidaas daraaddeed, boqorow, inaad iska daysid faa'iido kuugu ma jirto.
So Haman said to King Ahasuerus, ‘There is a certain people scattered among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, whose laws differ from those of every other and who do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not right for the king to tolerate them.
9 Haddaba, boqorow, taas haddaad raalli ka tahay, ha la qoro in iyaga la baabbi'iyo; oo anna waxaan bixin doonaa toban kun oo talanti oo lacag ah, oo waxaan gacanta u gelin doonaa kuwa boqorka shuqulkiisa u taliya inay iyagu maalkaas geliyaan khasnadaha boqorka.
If it seems best to the king, let an order be given to destroy them, and I will pay ten thousand silver coins into the royal treasury.’
10 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu gacantiisa ka siibay kaatunkiisii oo wuxuu siiyey Haamaan ina Hamedaata oo ahaa reer Agag ee weliba ahaa cadowgii Yuhuudda.
So the king took off his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
11 Kolkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Haamaan ku yidhi, Lacagta adigaa lagu siiyey, oo weliba dadkana waxaad ku samaysaa wax alla wixii kula wanaagsan.
‘The money is yours,’ the king said to Haman, ‘and the people also to do with them as you wish.’
12 Oo bishii kowaad maalinteedii saddex iyo tobnaad ayaa loo wada yeedhay boqorka karraaniyadiisii oo dhan, oo waxaa la qoray kulli wixii Haamaan ku amray boqorka saraakiishiisii iyo taliyayaashii gobollada oo dhan xukumayay, iyo amiirradii u talinayay dad kasta, oo gobol kasta waxaa loogu qoray afkiisii. Oo waxaa lagu qoray Boqorka Ahashwerus magiciisa, waxaana lagu shaabadeeyey boqorka kaatunkiisii.
And so, on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king’s secretaries were summoned and as Haman instructed an edict was issued to the king’s satraps and provincial governors and the rulers of each of the peoples in their own script and their own language. The edict was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with his ring.
13 Oo warqadona waxaa loo dhiibay warqaadayaal, oo waxaa loo diray boqorka gobolladiisii oo dhan, in Yuhuudda oo dhan la wada baabbi'iyo, oo la wada laayo, oo la halaago dhammaantood, yar iyo weyn, iyo dhallaanka iyo dumarkaba, bisha Adaar oo ah bisha laba iyo tobnaad, maalinteeda saddex iyo tobnaad, iyo in maalkoodana booli ahaan loo dhaco.
Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces, saying: Destroy, kill, put an end to all the Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, and plunder their possessions.
14 Oo waxaa dadyowga oo dhan lagu dhex faafiyey warqaddii la qoray naqilkeedii, oo leh amar ha la wada siiyo gobollada oo dhan inay diyaar u noqdaan maalintaas.
A copy of the edict was to be published as a decree in every province – publicly displayed so that everyone might be ready for that day.
15 Oo warqaadayaashiina haddiiba degdeg bay ugu ambabbexeen boqorka amarkiisii, oo Shuushan oo ahayd hoygii boqorkana amarkii waa lagu bixiyey. Haddaba boqorkii iyo Haamaan waxay u fadhiisteen inay wax cabbaan; laakiinse magaaladii Shuushan oo dhammu way ka wareertay.
By command of the king the couriers raced off, and the edict was published in Susa itself. Then the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in turmoil.
