Esther 8
1 On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
Gaafuma sana Ahashweroos Mootichi qabeenya Haamaan isa diina Yihuudootaa ture sanaa Asteer Mootittiif kenne. Asteer akka inni fira ishee taʼe waan mootichatti himtee turteef Mordekaayi fuula mootichaa duratti dhiʼaate.
2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Mootichis qubeelaa chaappaa isaa kan Haamaan irraa deebisee fudhate sana ofi irraa baasee Mordekaayiif kenne. Asteeris qabeenya Haamaan irratti Mordekaayiin muudde.
3 And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
Asteer miilla isaa irratti kuftee booʼaa ammas mooticha kadhatte. Isheenis akka inni karoora jalʼaa kan Haamaan namichi biyya Agaag sun Yihuudootatti baase sana fashaleessuuf isa kadhatte.
4 Then the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.
Mootichis bokkuu warqee Asteeriif diriirsinaan isheen kaatee fuula isaa dura dhaabatte.
5 And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king’s provinces:
Isheen akkana jette; “Yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiise, yoo ani fuula mootichaa duratti surraa argadhee jiraadhe, yoo wanni kun qajeelaa isatti fakkaatee fi yoo inni natti gammade, xalayaa Haamaan ilmi Hamedaataa namichi biyya Agaag sun Yihuudoota kutaalee biyyaa mootichaa hunda keessa jiraatan balleessuudhaaf barreesse sana fashaleessuuf ajajni haa barreeffamu.
6 for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Ani utuun balaa saba koo irra gaʼu arguu akkamittin obsuu dandaʼa? Akkamittis badiisa maatii koo argee obsuu dandaʼa?”
7 Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
Ahashweroos Mootichis akkana jedhee Asteer Mootittii fi Mordekaayi Yihuudichaaf deebii kenne; “Sababii Haamaan Yihuudoota miidheef ani qabeenya isaa Asteeriif kenneera; isaanis muka irratti isa fannisaniiru.
8 Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring; for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
Sababii labsiin maqaa mootichaatiin barreeffamee chaappaan qubeelaa mootichaa itti godhame diigamuu hin dandeenyeef isin akkuma jaallattanitti waan Yihuudoota ilaalu maqaa mootichaatiin barreessaatii chaappaa qubeelaa mootichaa itti chaappessaa.”
9 Then were the king’s scribes called at that time, in the third month, which is the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
Barreessitoonni mootichaas yommusuma bultii digdamii sadaffaa jiʼa sadaffaatti jiʼa Siiwaan jedhamu keessa walitti waamaman. Isaanis ajaja Mordekaayi hunda gara Yihuudoota, ergamoota, bulchitootaa fi namoota bebeekamoo kutaalee biyyaa 127 kanneen biyya Hindiitii hamma Itoophiyaatti jiraatanitti barreessanii ergan. Ajajni kunis arfii tokkoo tokkoo kutaalee biyyaatiin, afaan tokkoo tokkoo sabaatiin akkasumas Yihuudootatti arfii fi afaanuma ofii isaaniitiin barreeffame.
10 And he wrote in the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king’s service, bred of the stud:
Mordekaayis maqaa Ahashweroos Mootichaatiin xalayoota barreessee chaappaa qubeelaa mootichaa itti chaappesse; xalayoota sanas abbootii fardaa kanneen fardeen mootichaaf leenjifaman keessaa collee taʼan yaabbatanitti erge.
11 wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, [their] little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
Labsiin mootichaa akka Yihuudoonni magaalaawwan hunda keessa jiraatan walitti qabaman, akka of eeganii fi akka isaan humna waraana saba kamii iyyuu yookaan biyya kamii iyyuu kan isaan, dubartoota isaaniitii fi ijoollee isaanii miidhu akka ajjeesan, akka barbadeessanii fi lafa irraa balleessan akkasumas akka qabeenya diinota isaanii saaman mirga kenneef.
12 upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, [namely], upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Guyyaan akka Yihuudoonni kutaalee biyya Ahashweroos Mootichaa hunda keessatti waan kana godhan murtaaʼeefis bultii kudha sadaffaa jiʼa kudha lammaffaa, jiʼa Adaar jedhamu keessa ture.
13 A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Garagalchi labsii sanaas kutaalee biyyaa hunda keessatti akka seeraatti raabsamee sabni hundi beekuu qaba ture; kunis akka Yihuudoonnis diinota isaanii haaloo baʼuuf gaafasitti qophaaʼaniif.
14 So the posts that rode upon swift steeds that were used in the king’s service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment; and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace.
Ergamoonni fardeen mootichaa yaabbatan sunis ajaja mootichaatiin ariifatanii gulufaa deeman. Labsiin sunis gamoo Suusaa keessatti labsame.
15 And Mordecai went forth from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.
Mordekaayis uffata mootii kan bifa cuquliisaatii fi adii uffatee, gonfoo warqee guddaa isaa kaaʼatee wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame dhiilgee irraan uffatee fuula mootichaa duraa baʼe. Magaalaan Suusaas gammaddee ililchite.
16 The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor.
Yeroon sun Yihuudootaaf ifa, gammachuu, ilillee fi yeroo ulfinaa ture.
17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.
Kutaalee biyyaatii fi magaalaawwan hunda keessatti, lafa labsiin mootichaa gaʼe hundatti Yihuudoonni ilillee fi gammachuudhaan, nyaataa fi dhugaatiidhaan ni ayyaaneffatan. Namoonni gosa kaanii hedduun sababii Yihuudoota sodaataniif Yihuudoota taʼan.
