Esther 3
1 After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him to a position above all the princes who were with him.
Waan kanneen booddee Ahashweroos Mootichi Haamaan ilma Hamedaataa namicha biyya Agaag ol ol qabuudhaan teessoo qondaaltota kaanii hunda caalu kenneefii isa kabaje.
2 All the royal servants at the king’s gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman, because the king had commanded that this be done for him. But Mordecai would not bow down or pay homage.
Qondaaltonni mootichaa warri karra eegan hundi jilbeenfatanii Haamaaniif ulfina kennan; mootichi waaʼee isaa waan kana ajajee tureetii. Mordekaayi garuu hin jilbeenfanne yookaan ulfina isaaf hin kennine.
3 Then the royal servants at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the command of the king?”
Qondaaltonni mootichaa warri karra mootichaa dura turan, “Ati maaliif ajaja mootichaa eeguu didda?” jedhanii Mordekaayiin gaafatan.
4 Day after day they warned him, but he would not comply. So they reported it to Haman to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would be tolerated, since he had told them he was a Jew.
Isaan guyyuma guyyaadhaan isatti himaa turan; inni garuu isaan dhagaʼuu dide. Kanaafuu isaan sababii Mordekaayi akka nama gosa Yihuudaa taʼe isaanitti hime tureef dubbiin isaa kun akka maal taʼuu qabu beekuudhaaf waan kana Haamaanitti himan.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai would not bow down or pay him homage, he was filled with rage.
Haamaan akka Mordekaayi isaaf hin jilbeenfatin yookaan ulfina hin kenniniif arginaan akka malee aare.
6 And when he learned the identity of Mordecai’s people, he scorned the notion of laying hands on Mordecai alone. Instead, he sought to destroy all of Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the kingdom of Xerxes.
Haamaanis eenyummaa saba Mordekaayi beeknaan Mordekaayiin qofa ajjeesuu ni tuffate. Qooda kanaa Haamaan saba Mordekaayi hunda jechuunis Yihuudoota mootummaa Ahashweroos guutuu keessa jiraatan fixuuf karaa barbaadaa ture.
7 In the twelfth year of King Xerxes, in the first month, the month of Nisan, the Pur (that is, the lot) was cast before Haman to determine a day and month. And the lot fell on the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
Isaanis waggaa kudha lammaffaa bara Ahashweroos Mootichaa keessa jiʼa jalqabaa jiʼa Niisaan jedhamu keessa guyyaa fi jiʼa filachuudhaaf fuula Haamaan duratti Fuur jechuunis ixaa buusan. Ixaan sun jiʼa kudha lammaffaa jechuunis jiʼa Adaar irra buʼe.
8 Then Haman informed King Xerxes, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples of every province of your kingdom. Their laws are different from everyone else’s, and they do not obey the king’s laws. So it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them.
Haamaanis Ahashweroos Mootichaan akkana jedhe; “Uummanni tokko saba kutaalee biyyaa mootummaa keetii keessa jiran hunda gidduu faffacaʼeera; duudhaan uummata kanaa duudhaa saba kaanii hundaan adda; isaan seera mootichaa hin kabajan; kanaafuu mootichi uummata kanaaf obsa qabaachuun hin malu.
9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will deposit ten thousand talents of silver into the royal treasury to pay those who carry it out.”
Yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiise saba kana balleessuudhaaf labsiin tokko haa baʼu; anis warra waan kana hojjetaniif meetii taalaantii kuma kudhan mankuusa qabeenya mootichaatti nan galcha.”
10 So the king removed the signet ring from his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
Kanaafuu mootichi qubeelaa chaappaa isaa quba ofii irraa baasee Haamaan ilma Hamedaataa namicha biyya Agaag, diina Yihuudootaa sanatti kenne.
11 “Keep your money,” said the king to Haman. “These people are given to you to do with them as you please.”
Mootichis Haamaaniin, “Maallaqnis, sabni sunis sitti kennameeraatii akkuma feete godhi” jedhe.
12 On the thirteenth day of the first month, the royal scribes were summoned and the order was written exactly as Haman commanded the royal satraps, the governors of each province, and the officials of each people, in the script of each province and the language of every people. It was written in the name of King Xerxes and sealed with the royal signet ring.
Guyyaa kudha sadaffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti barreessitoonni mootichaa walitti waamaman. Isaanis waan Haamaan ajaje sana hunda arfii tokkoo tokkoo kutaa biyyaatiin, afaan saba hundaatiinis gara biyya bulchitoota mootichaatti, bulchitoota tokkoo tokkoo kutaalee biyyaatii fi gara gurguddoota saba adda addaatti barreessan. Wanni kunis maqaa Ahashweroos Mootichaatiin barreeffamee, qubeelaa chaappaa isaatiin mallatteeffame.
13 And the letters were sent by couriers to each of the royal provinces with the order to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—and to plunder their possessions on a single day, the thirteenth day of Adar, the twelfth month.
Xalayoonni akka Yihuudoonni hundi dargaggoonnii fi maanguddoonni, dubartoonnii fi ijoolleen xixinnoon guyyuma tokkotti jechuunis guyyaa kudha sadaffaa jiʼa kudha lammaffaatti, jiʼa Adaar jedhamu keessa ajjeefaman, akka barbadeeffamanii fi lafa irraa balleeffaman, akka qabeenyi isaaniis saamamu gara kutaalee biyya mootichaa hundaatti ajajaan ergamootaan ergaman.
14 A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued in every province and published to all the people, so that they would be ready on that day.
Akka sabni hundi beekee guyyaa sanaaf qophaaʼuufis garagalchi barreeffama sanaas akka seeraatti kutaalee biyyaa hunda keessatti saba hundatti labsamuu qaba ture.
15 The couriers left, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. Then the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in confusion.
Ergamoonni sun ajaja mootichaatiin ariitiidhaan deeman; labsiin sunis Suusaa magaalaa guddittii keessatti labsame. Mootichi fi Haamaan waa dhuguudhaaf taaʼan; magaalaan Suusaa garuu ni jeeqamte.
