¹Haddaba maalintii saddexaad Esteer baa gashatay dharkeedii boqornimada, oo waxay soo istaagtay guriga boqorka barxaddiisa dhexe, taasoo ka soo hor jeedday guriga boqorka; oo boqorkuna wuxuu ku fadhiyey carshigiisii boqornimada oo ku dhex yiil guriga boqornimada, wuxuuna ka soo hor jeeday iridda guriga laga soo galo.

¹And it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house. And the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance to the house.

²Oo markii boqorkii arkay Boqorad Esteer oo barxadda dhex taagan ayuu raalli ka noqday iyada, oo boqorkiina wuxuu Esteer ku soo fidiyey ushii dahabka ahayd oo gacantiisa ku jirtay. Markaasaa Esteer soo dhowaatay oo taabatay usha dusheedii.

²And it was so, when the king saw the queen Esther standing in the court, that she obtained grace in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand; and Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

³Kolkaasuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Boqorad Esteeray, maxaad doonaysaa? Oo maxaad i weyddiisanaysaa? Xataa hadday boqortooyada badhkeed tahay waa lagu siinayaaye.

³And the king said to her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom.

⁴Kolkaasaa Esteer waxay tidhi, Boqorow, hadday kula wanaagsan tahay, maanta adiga iyo Haamaanba kaalaya martiqaadka aan u diyaariyey.

⁴And Esther said, If it seem good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.

⁵Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Haamaan haddiiba ha dhaqsado, si loo yeelo waxay Esteer tidhi. Oo sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii iyo Haamaanba waxay yimaadeen martiqaadkii ay Esteer u diyaarisay.

⁵And the king said, Hasten Haman, that it may be done as Esther has said. And the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

⁶Oo intii martiqaadkii khamriga la joogay ayuu boqorkii Esteer ku yidhi, Baryadaadu waa maxay? Maxaad i weyddiisanaysaa? Xataa hadday boqortooyada badhkeed tahay waa laguu yeelayaaye.

⁶And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be done.

⁷Markaasaa Esteer jawaabtay oo tidhi, Baryadayda iyo weyddiisashadaydu waxay tahay,

⁷And Esther answered and said, My petition and my request is,

⁸Boqorow, haddaad raalli iga tahay, oo aad ku faraxdid inaad ii samaysid waxaan kaa baryay, oo aad yeeshid waxaan ku weyddiistay, haddaba adiga iyo Haamaan kaalaya martiqaadka aan idiin diyaarin doono, oo aniguna berri baan yeelayaa sidaad tidhi, boqorow.

⁸If I have found grace in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow according to the king's word.

⁹Markaasaa Haamaan maalintaas wuxuu dibadda u baxay isagoo faraxsan oo qalbiga ka rayraynaya. Laakiinse Haamaan markuu arkay Mordekay oo jooga boqorka iriddiisa, oo aan isaga u istaagin, una gariirin, ayuu Mordekay aad iyo aad ugu cadhooday.

⁹And Haman went forth that day joyful and glad of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was full of fury against Mordecai.

¹⁰Habase ahaatee Haamaan wuu isceliyey oo gurigiisuu tegey. Markaasuu u cid dirsaday oo u yeedhay saaxiibbadiis iyo naagtiisii Seresh.

¹⁰But Haman controlled himself, and came home; and he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

¹¹Markaasaa Haamaan wuxuu iyagii uga sheekeeyey ammaanta maalkiisa, iyo badnaanta carruurtiisa, iyo kulli derejadihii boqorku isaga u dalliciyey oo dhan, iyo sidii boqorku ugu wada sarraysiiyey boqorka amiirradiisa iyo addoommadiisa oo dhan.

¹¹And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

¹²Oo Haamaan weliba wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Xataa boqoradda Esteer ninna uma ay oggolaan inuu boqorka u soo raaco martiqaadkii ay diyaarisay aniga mooyaane; oo weliba berrina anigoo boqorka la jira ayay i martiqaadday.

¹²And Haman said, Yea, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also I am invited to her with the king.

¹³Laakiinse waxaas oo dhammu waxba ii tari maayaan intaan arkayo Yuhuudiga Mordekay oo boqorka iriddiisa fadhiya.Markaasaa naagtiisii Seresh iyo saaxiibbadiis oo dhammu waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Ha la sameeyo qori wax lagu deldelo oo dhererkiisu konton dhudhun yahay, oo subaxda waxaad boqorka ku tidhaahdaa, Mordekay meeshaas ha lagu deldelo. Oo markaas dabadeed adigoo faraxsan boqorka martiqaadka u raac. Kolkaasaa hadalkaasu ka farxiyey Haamaan; oo wuxuu amray in meeshii deldelaadda la sameeyo.

¹³Yet all this is of no avail to me so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

¹⁴Markaasaa naagtiisii Seresh iyo saaxiibbadiis oo dhammu waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Ha la sameeyo qori wax lagu deldelo oo dhererkiisu konton dhudhun yahay, oo subaxda waxaad boqorka ku tidhaahdaa, Mordekay meeshaas ha lagu deldelo. Oo markaas dabadeed adigoo faraxsan boqorka martiqaadka u raac. Kolkaasaa hadalkaasu ka farxiyey Haamaan; oo wuxuu amray in meeshii deldelaadda la sameeyo.

¹⁴Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king that Mordecai may be hanged on it: then go in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
