< Esther 3 >

1 After these things King Achashyerosh promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the officials 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 king's servants who were in the King's Gate bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down or pay him 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 king's servants, who were in the King's Gate, said to Mordecai, "Why do you disobey the king's commandment?"
Qondaaltonni mootichaa warri karra mootichaa dura turan, “Ati maaliif ajaja mootichaa eeguu didda?” jedhanii Mordekaayiin gaafatan.
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told 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 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
Haamaan akka Mordekaayi isaaf hin jilbeenfatin yookaan ulfina hin kenniniif arginaan akka malee aare.
6 But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai's people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Achashyerosh, even Mordecai's people.
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 first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Achashyerosh, they cast Pur (that is, the lot) before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is the month 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 Haman said to King Achashyerosh, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people's. They do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them to remain.
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 it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries."
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 The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Kanaafuu mootichi qubeelaa chaappaa isaa quba ofii irraa baasee Haamaan ilma Hamedaataa namicha biyya Agaag, diina Yihuudootaa sanatti kenne.
11 The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."
Mootichis Haamaaniin, “Maallaqnis, sabni sunis sitti kennameeraatii akkuma feete godhi” jedhe.
12 Then the king's scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the officials of every people, to every province according its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Achashyerosh, and it was sealed with the king's 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 Letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
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 letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should 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 The couriers went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
Ergamoonni sun ajaja mootichaatiin ariitiidhaan deeman; labsiin sunis Suusaa magaalaa guddittii keessatti labsame. Mootichi fi Haamaan waa dhuguudhaaf taaʼan; magaalaan Suusaa garuu ni jeeqamte.
