Esther 3
1 And after this king Artaxerxes highly honored Aman [son] of Amadathes, the Bugaean, and exalted him, and set his seat above all his friends.
Waan kanneen booddee Ahashweroos Mootichi Haamaan ilma Hamedaataa namicha biyya Agaag ol ol qabuudhaan teessoo qondaaltota kaanii hunda caalu kenneefii isa kabaje.
2 And all in the palace did him obeisance, for so the king had given orders to do: but Mardochaeus did not do him obeisance.
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 And they in the king's palace said to Mardochaeus, Mardochaeus, why do you transgress the commands of the king?
Qondaaltonni mootichaa warri karra mootichaa dura turan, “Ati maaliif ajaja mootichaa eeguu didda?” jedhanii Mordekaayiin gaafatan.
4 [Thus] they spoke daily to him, but he listened not to them; so they represented to Aman that Mardochaeus resisted the commands of the king: and Mardochaeus had shown to them that 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 And when Aman understood that Mardochaeus did not obeisance to him, he was greatly enraged,
Haamaan akka Mordekaayi isaaf hin jilbeenfatin yookaan ulfina hin kenniniif arginaan akka malee aare.
6 and took counsel to destroy utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.
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 And he made a decree in the twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, and cast lots daily and monthly, to kill in one day the race of Mardochaeus: and the lot fell on the fourteenth [day] of the month which is 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 And he spoke to king Artaxerxes, saying, There is a nation scattered among the nations in all your kingdom, and their laws differ from [those of] all the [other] nations; and they disobey the laws of the king; and it is not expedient for the king to let them alone.
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 seem good to the king, let him make a decree to destroy them: and I will remit into the king's treasury ten thousand talents of silver.
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 And the king took off his ring, and gave it into the hands of Aman, to seal the decrees against the Jews.
Kanaafuu mootichi qubeelaa chaappaa isaa quba ofii irraa baasee Haamaan ilma Hamedaataa namicha biyya Agaag, diina Yihuudootaa sanatti kenne.
11 And the king said to Aman, Keep the silver, and treat the nation as you will.
Mootichis Haamaaniin, “Maallaqnis, sabni sunis sitti kennameeraatii akkuma feete godhi” jedhe.
12 So the king's recorders were called in the first month, on the thirteenth [day], and they wrote as Aman commanded to the captains and governors in every province, from India even to Ethiopia, to a hundred and twenty-seven provinces; and to the rulers of the nations according to their [several] languages, in the name of king Artaxerxes.
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 message] was sent by posts throughout the kingdom of Artaxerxes, to destroy utterly the race of the Jews on the first day of the twelfth month, which is Adar, and to plunder their goods.
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 And the copies of the letters were published in every province; and an order was given to all the nations to be ready against that day.
Akka sabni hundi beekee guyyaa sanaaf qophaaʼuufis garagalchi barreeffama sanaas akka seeraatti kutaalee biyyaa hunda keessatti saba hundatti labsamuu qaba ture.
15 And the business was hastened, and [that] at Susa: and the king and Aman began to drink; but the city was troubled.
Ergamoonni sun ajaja mootichaatiin ariitiidhaan deeman; labsiin sunis Suusaa magaalaa guddittii keessatti labsame. Mootichi fi Haamaan waa dhuguudhaaf taaʼan; magaalaan Suusaa garuu ni jeeqamte.
