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.

And after this king Artaxerxes highly honoured Aman [son] of Amadathes, the Bugaean, and exalted him, and set his seat above all his friends.

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.

And all in the palace did him obeisance, for so the king had given orders to do: but Mardochaeus did not do him obeisance.

3 Markaasaa addoommadii boqorka oo joogay boqorka iriddiisa waxay Mordekay ku yidhaahdeen, War maxaad u jebinaysaa boqorka amarkiisa?

And they in the king's palace said to Mardochaeus, Mardochaeus, why do you transgress the commands of the king?

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.

[Thus] they spoke daily to him, but he listened not to them; so they represented to Aman that Mardochaeus resisted the commands of the king: and Mardochaeus had shown to them that he was a Jew.

5 Haamaanna markuu arkay inaan Mordekay u foororsan oo aanu u sujuudin, ayuu Haamaan aad u cadhooday.

And when Aman understood that Mardochaeus did not obeisance to him, he was greatly enraged,

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.

and took counsel to destroy utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.

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.

And he made a decree in the twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, and cast lots daily and monthly, to kill in one day the race of Mardochaeus: and the lot fell on the fourteenth [day] of the month which is 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.

And he spoke to king Artaxerxes, saying, There is a nation scattered amongst the nations in all your kingdom, and their laws differ from [those of] all the [other] nations; and they disobey the laws of the king; and it is not expedient for the king to let them alone.

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 seem good to the king, let him make a decree to destroy them: and I will remit into the king's treasury ten thousand talents of silver.

10 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu gacantiisa ka siibay kaatunkiisii oo wuxuu siiyey Haamaan ina Hamedaata oo ahaa reer Agag ee weliba ahaa cadowgii Yuhuudda.

And the king took off his ring, and gave it into the hands of Aman, to seal the decrees against the Jews.

11 Kolkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Haamaan ku yidhi, Lacagta adigaa lagu siiyey, oo weliba dadkana waxaad ku samaysaa wax alla wixii kula wanaagsan.

And the king said to Aman, Keep the silver, and treat the nation as you will.

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.

So the king's recorders were called in the first month, on the thirteenth [day], and they wrote as Aman commanded to the captains and governors in every province, from India even to Ethiopia, to a hundred and twenty-seven provinces; and to the rulers of the nations according to their [several] languages, in the name of king Artaxerxes.

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.

And [the message] was sent by posts throughout the kingdom of Artaxerxes, to destroy utterly the race of the Jews on the first day of the twelfth month, which is Adar, and to plunder their goods.

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.

And the copies of the letters were published in every province; and an order was given to all the nations to be ready against 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.

And the business was hastened, and [that] at Susa: and the king and Aman began to drink; but the city was troubled.
