< Esther 5 >

1 Now on the third day, Esther put on her queen's robes, and took her place in the inner room of the king's house, facing the king's house: and the king was seated on his high seat in the king's house, facing the doorway of the house.
Guyyaa sadaffaatti Asteer uffata ishee kan mootummaa uffatee dhaqxee oobdii masaraa mootichaa kan gara keessaa irra fuula galma mootichaa dura dhaabatte. Mootichi immoo galma sana keessa gara balbalaatti garagalee teessoo mootummaa isaa irra taaʼee ture.
2 And when the king saw Esther the queen waiting in the inner room, looking kindly on her he put out the rod of gold in his hand to her. So Esther came near and put her fingers on the top of the rod.
Mootichis utuu Asteer Mootittiin oobdii keessa dhaabachaa jirtuu argee isheetti gammadee bokkuu warqee kan harkatti qabatee ture sana isheef diriirse. Kanaafuu Asteer itti dhiʼaattee fiixee bokkuu sanaa tuqxe.
3 Then the king said, What is your desire, Queen Esther, and what is your request? I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.
Mootichi, “Yaa Asteer Mootittii maal siif godhu? Maal barbaadda? Walakkaa mootummaa koo illee taanaan siif ni kennama” jedheen.
4 And Esther in answer said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the feast which I have made ready for him.
Asteeris, “Yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiise, mootichi gara cidha ani isaaf qopheesse sanaa Haamaan wajjin harʼa haa dhufu” jettee deebifteef.
5 Then the king said, Let Haman come quickly, so that what Esther has said may be done. So the king and Haman came to the feast which Esther had made ready.
Mootichis, “Akka waan Asteer jette sana goonuuf dafaatii Hamaa fidaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu mootichii fi Haamaan gara cidha Asteer qopheessite sanaa dhaqan.
6 And while they were drinking wine the king said to Esther, What is your prayer? for it will be given to you and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.
Utuma daadhii wayinii dhuganuu mootichi amma illee akkana jedhee Asteerin gaafate; “Mee wanni ati kadhattu maal? Wanni sun siif kennama. Gaaffiin kee maali? Walakkaa mootummaa koo illee taanaan siif kennama.”
7 Then Esther said in answer, My prayer and my request is this:
Asteeris akkana jettee deebifteef; “Wanni ani kadhadhuu fi gaaffiin koo kanaa dha:
8 If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.
Yoo ani fuula mootichaa duratti surraa argadhee mootichis kadhannaa koo fudhatee waan ani isa gaafadhe naaf guutuun isa gammachiise, mootichii fi Haamaan cidha ani isaaniif qopheessu irratti bor haa argaman. Ani ergasii gaaffii mootichaa nan deebisa.”
9 Then on that day Haman went out full of joy and glad in heart; but when he saw Mordecai in the king's doorway, and he did not get to his feet or give any sign of fear before him, Haman was full of wrath against Mordecai.
Gaafas Haamaan gammadee itti tolee gad baʼe. Inni garuu karra mootichaa duratti Mordekaayiin argee yommuu akka inni isaaf hin kaʼin yookaan isa hin sodaatin hubatetti Mordekaayiitti akka malee aare.
10 But controlling himself, he went to his house; and he sent for his friends and Zeresh, his wife.
Taʼu illee Haamaan of qabee mana isaatti gale. Ergasiis michoota isaatii fi niitii isaa Zeresh walitti qabe;
11 And he gave them an account of the glories of his wealth, and the number of children he had, and the ways in which he had been honoured by the king, and how he had put him over the captains and servants of the king.
Haamaanis qabeenya isaa guddaa sanaan, ilmaan isaa hedduu sanaan akkasumas ulfina mootichi isaaf kenne hundaa fi akkaataa itti mootichi qondaaltota isaatii fi tajaajiltoota isaa kaanii olitti isa guddiseen isaanitti of jaje.
12 And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king.
Haamaan itti fufee akkana jedhe; “Kana qofa miti; namni Asteer Mootittiin akka mooticha wajjin gara cidha qopheessite sanaa dhufu waamte anuma qofa. Boris akkasuma mooticha wajjin na affeerteerti.
13 But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.
Taʼus wanni kun hundinuu utuu ani Mordekaayi Yihuudicha isaa karra mootichaa dura taaʼu arguu na hin gammachiisu.”
14 Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Let a pillar, fifty cubits high, be made ready for hanging him, and in the morning get the king to give orders for the hanging of Mordecai: then you will be able to go to the feast with the king with a glad heart. And Haman was pleased with the suggestion, and he had the pillar made.
Niitiin isaa Zeresh fi michoonni isaa hundinuu, “Muka itti nama fannisan kan dhundhuma shantama ol dheeratu dhaabiitii akka Mordekaayi bor ganama irratti fannifamu mooticha gaafadhu. Ergasiis mooticha wajjin gara cidha sanaa dhaqii gammadi” jedhaniin. Yaadni kun Haamaanin gammachiise; innis muka sana dhaabe.
