Esther 1
1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even unto Ethiopia, over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces),
Wanni bara mootummaa Ahashweroos keessa taʼe kanaa dha: Ahashweroos kun Hindiidhaa jalqabee hamma Itoophiyaatti kutaalee biyyaa 127 bulchaa ture;
2 that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
yeroo sanatti Ahashweroos Mootichi, Suusaa magaalaa guddoo sana keessa teessoo mootummaa isaa irra taaʼee bulchaa ture;
3 in the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him;
innis bara mootummaa isaa keessaa waggaa sadaffaatti namoota isaa bebeekamoo fi qondaaltota isaa hundumaaf cidha guddaa tokko qopheesse. Hooggantoonni waraana Faaresii fi Meedee, ilmaan moototaa fi namoonni bebeekamoon kutaa biyyaa achi turan.
4 when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even a hundred and fourscore days.
Innis bultii 180 guutuu qabeenya mootummaa isaa guddaa, miidhagummaa fi ulfina jabina isaa gad baasee argisiisaa ture.
5 And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace.
Yeroo guyyoonni kunneen darbanitti mootichi saba gamoo Suusaa keessa jiraatu xinnaa fi guddaa hundaaf oobdii iddoo biqiltuu masaraa mootii keessatti cidha guyyaa torba turu qopheesse.
6 [There were hangings of] white [cloth], [of] green, and [of] blue, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the couches were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and white, and yellow, and black marble.
Iddoon biqiltuu sunis golgaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame adii fi cuquliisa, kirrii adii fi diimaa dhiilgeedhaan qubeelaa meetii kan utubaawwan dhagaa akka cabbiitti hidhame tokko qaba ture. Sireewwan dinkiin kanneen warqee fi meetii irraa hojjetamanis lafa dhagaa diimaadhaan, dhagaa akka cabbiitiin, lula bifa adda addaa qabuu fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyiidhaan miidhagfamee hafame irra ture.
7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.
Dhugaatiinis xoofoo warqeetiin namaaf dhiʼeeffame. Tokkoon tokkoon xoofoo sanaas gosa adda addaa ture; daadhiin wayiniis akkuma arjummaa mootichaatti akka malee baayʼee ture.
8 And the drinking was according to the law; none could compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
Akka tokkoon tokkoon keessummaa akkuma fedhetti dhuguuf mootichi eeyyamee ture; akka tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif waan inni barbaade dhiʼeessaniifis mootichi warra daadhii wayinii dhiʼeessan hunda ajajee tureetii.
9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
Waashtiin Mootittiinis masaraa mootummaa Ahashweroos Mootichaa keessatti dubartootaaf cidha qopheessite.
10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
Guyyaa torbaffaatti Ahashweroos Mootichi yeroo daadhii wayinii dhugee gammadetti xuʼaashiiwwan isa tajaajilan torban jechuunis Mihuumaan, Biztaaʼaa, Harboonaa, Bigtaaʼa, Abaagtaa, Zeetaarinii fi Karkas
11 to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was fair to look on.
akka isaan Waashtiin mootittii akka isheen namootaa fi qondaaltotatti barreedina ishee argisiiftuuf gonfoo mootummaa isheetti kaaʼanii fuula isaa duratti dhiʼeessan ajaje; isheen akka malee bareedduu turteetii.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
Garuu yeroo ergamoonni sun ergaa mootichaa itti himanitti Waashtiin Mootittiin dhufuu didde. Kana irratti mootichi akka malee dheekkamee aariidhaan gubate.
13 Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment;
Sababii waan seeraatii fi murtii qajeelaa irratti hayyootaan mariʼachuun bartee mootichaa taʼeef inni namoota ogeeyyii waan baraa beekan
14 and the next unto him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king’s face, and sat first in the kingdom),
kanneen mootichatti aananiin mariʼate; isaanis Karshenaa, Sheetaar, Adimaataa, Tarshiish, Meres, Marseenaa fi Memuukaa qondaaltota Faaresii fi Meedee torban mootichaan walitti dhiʼeenya qaban kanneen mootummaa sana keessatti iddoo ol aanaa qabanii dha.
15 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
Innis, “Akka seeraatti wanti nu Waashtiin mootittii gochuu qabnu maali? Isheen ajaja Ahashweroos Mootichaa kan xuʼaashiiwwan isheetti geessan sanaaf hin ajajamneetii” jedhee isaan gaafate.
16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
Memuukaan akkana jedhee fuula mootichaatii fi fuula namoota bebeekamoo duratti deebii kenne; “Waashtiin mootittiin Mooticha qofatti utuu hin taʼin qondaaltota hundattii fi namoota kutaalee biyyaa Ahashweroos Mootichaa hundatti balleessaa hojjette.
17 For this deed of the queen will come abroad unto all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
Wanni mootittiin goote kun dubartii hunda biratti beekamee isaan, ‘Ahashweroos Mootichi akka Waashtiin Mootittiin fuula isaa duratti dhiʼeeffamtu ajajee ture; isheen garuu dhaquu didde’ jedhanii dhirsoota isaanii tuffatuutii.
18 And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say [the like] unto all the king’s princes. So [will there arise] much contempt and wrath.
Guyyuma harʼaa kana iyyuu dubartoonni Faaresii fi Meedee bebeekamoon warri gocha mootittii kana dhagaʼan qondaaltota mootichaa hundaaf waanuma akkasii deebisu. Tuffii fi lola dhuma hin qabnetu uumama.
19 If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, that Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
“Kanaafuu yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiise akka Waashtiin lammata fuula Ahashweroos Mootichaa duratti hin dhiʼeeffamneef inni labsii mootummaa haa labsu; labsiin sunis seera Faaresii fi Meedee kan diigamuu hin dandeenye sana keessatti haa barreeffamu. Mootichi amma illee sadarkaa ulfinaa kan isheen mootummaa keessatti qabdu dubartii biraa kan ishee caaltuuf haa kennu.
20 And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.
Yoos yommuu labsiin mootichaa guutummaa mootummaa isaa keessatti labsamutti dubartoonni hundinuu xinnoo fi guddoon dhirsoota isaaniitiif ulfina kennu.”
21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
Mootichii fi qondaaltonni isaa gorsa kanatti ni gammadan; kanaafuu mootichi yaada Memuukaan dhiʼeesse sana hojii irra oolche.
22 for he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people.
Innis biyyoota mootummaa hundatti, tokkoo tokkoo kutaalee biyyaatiif qubeedhuma isaaniitiin, akkasumas tokkoo tokkoo sabaatiif afaanuma isaaniitiin xalayoota ergee akka dhiirri hundi bulchaa mana ofii isaa taʼu afaan gosa hundaatiin labse.
