Haamaan Oo La Deldelay

Haddaba boqorkii iyo Haamaan waxay u yimaadeen inay Boqorad Esteer martiqaadkeedii ka qayb galaan. Oo haddana maalintii labaad intii la fadhiyey martiqaadkii khamriga ayaa boqorkii Esteer ku yidhi, Boqorad Esteeray, baryadaadu waa maxay? Waa lagu siinayaaye. Maxaad i weyddiisanaysaa? Xataa hadday boqortooyada badhkeed tahay, waa laguu yeelayaaye. Markaasaa Boqorad Esteer jawaabtay oo waxay tidhi, Boqorow, haddaad raalli iga tahay oo aad ku faraxdid, baryadayda aawadeed naftayda ha la ii bixiyo, oo weyddiisashadayda aawadeedna dadkaygu ha ii badbaado, waayo, aniga iyo dadkaygiiba waxaa loo iibiyey in nala baabbi'iyo, oo nala laayo oo aan halaaganno. Laakiinse haddii naloo iibiyey inaan ahaanno rag iyo dumar addoommo ah, waan iska aamusi lahaa, in kastoo cadowgu aanu boqorka khasaaradiisa ka xaq marin karin. Markaasaa Boqor Ahashwerus wuxuu Boqorad Esteer ku yidhi, Yuu yahay, xaggee buuse joogaa, kan ku dhaca oo qalbigiisa sidaas kaga fikiray inuu waxaas yeelo? Markaasaa Esteer waxay tidhi, Cadow iyo col waxaa ah Haamaankan sharka leh. Markaasaa Haamaan boqorkii iyo boqoraddii hortooda ku cabsaday. Kolkaasaa boqorkii isagoo cadhaysan, ka kacay martiqaadkii khamriga, oo wuxuu u baxay xagga beerta hoyga boqorka; oo Haamaan ayaa u istaagay inuu Boqorad Esteer naftiisa u baryo, waayo, wuxuu arkay in boqorku belaayo la damacsan yahay. Markaasaa boqorkii beertii ka soo noqday oo galay meeshii martiqaadka khamriga lagu dhigay, Haamaanna wuxuu ku sii dhacayay sariirtay Esteer fuushanayd. Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Xataa ma boqoradduu hortayda ku xoogayaa iyadoo guriga joogta? Oo isla markii eraygaasu boqorka afkiisii ka soo baxay ayaa Haamaan wejigiisii la deday. Kolkaasaa Xarboona oo ahaa boqorka midiidinnadiisa midkood oo boqorka hortiisa joogay ayaa yidhi, Weliba bal eeg, waxaa Haamaan gurigiisa ag qotoma qoriga deldelaadda oo dhererkiisu yahay konton dhudhun, oo Haamaan u sameeyey inuu ku deldelo Mordekay oo boqorka wax wanaagsan kaga hadlay. Markaasaa boqorkii yidhi, Halkaas ku deldela. 10 Sidaas daraaddeed Haamaan waxaa lagu deldelay meeshii deldelaadda oo uu u diyaarshay inuu Mordekay ku deldelo, oo markaasaa boqorkii cadho baxay.

Haman Impaled

So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther’s banquet,(A) and as they were drinking wine(B) on the second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom,(C) it will be granted.(D)

Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor(E) with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, grant me my life—this is my petition. And spare my people—this is my request. For I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed and annihilated.(F) If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.[a]

King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who is he? Where is he—the man who has dared to do such a thing?”

Esther said, “An adversary and enemy! This vile Haman!”

Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen. The king got up in a rage,(G) left his wine and went out into the palace garden.(H) But Haman, realizing that the king had already decided his fate,(I) stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life.

Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch(J) where Esther was reclining.(K)

The king exclaimed, “Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?”(L)

As soon as the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.(M) Then Harbona,(N) one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A pole reaching to a height of fifty cubits[b](O) stands by Haman’s house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.”

The king said, “Impale him on it!”(P) 10 So they impaled(Q) Haman(R) on the pole(S) he had set up for Mordecai.(T) Then the king’s fury subsided.(U)

  2. Esther 7:9 That is, about 75 feet or about 23 meters

So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.

Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?

And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.

10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
