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 things, king Assuerus advanced Aman, the son of Amadathi, who was of the race of Agag: and he set his throne above all the princes that 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.
And all the king’s servants, that were at the doors of the palace, bent their knees, and worshipped Aman: for so the emperor had commanded them, only Mardochai did not bend his knee, nor worship him.
3 Markaasaa addoommadii boqorka oo joogay boqorka iriddiisa waxay Mordekay ku yidhaahdeen, War maxaad u jebinaysaa boqorka amarkiisa?
And the king’s servants that were chief at the doors of the palace, said to him: Why dost thou alone not observe the king’s commandment?
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.
And when they were saying this often, and he would not hearken to them; they told Aman, desirous to know whether he would continue in his resolution: 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.
Now when Aman had heard this, and had proved by experience that Mardochai did not bend his knee to him, nor worship him, he was exceeding angry.
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 he counted it nothing to lay his hands upon Mardochai alone: for he had heard that he was of the nation of the Jews, and he chose rather to destroy all the nation of the Jews that were in the kingdom of Assuerus.
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 (which is called Nisan) in the twelfth year a of the reign of Assuerus, the lot was cast into an urn, which in Hebrew is called Phur, before Aman, on what day and what month the nation of the Jews should be destroyed: and there came out the twelfth month, which is called 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 Aman said to king Assuerus: There is a people scattered through all the provinces of thy kingdom, and separated one from another, that use new laws and ceremonies, and moreover despise the king’s ordinances: and thou knowest very well that it is not expedient for thy kingdom that they should grow insolent by impunity.
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 please thee, decree that they may he destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents to thy treasurers.
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 the ring that he used, from his own hand, and gave it to Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, 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.
And he said to him: As to the money which thou promisest, keep it for thyself: and as to the people, do with them as seemeth good to thee.
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 the king’s scribes were called in the first month Nisan, on the thirteenth day of the same month: and they wrote, as Aman had commanded, to all the king’s lieutenants, and to the judges of the provinces, and of divers nations, as every nation could read, and hear according to their different languages, in the name of king Assuerus: and the letters, 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.
Were sent by the king’s messengers to all provinces, to kill and destroy all the Jews, both young and old, little children, and women, in one day, that is, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month, which is called Adar, and to make a spoil of 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 contents of the letters were to this effect, that all provinces might know and 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.
The couriers that were sent made haste to fulfill the king’s commandment. And immediately the edict was hung up in Susan, the king and Aman feasting together, and all the Jews that were in the city weeping.
