Esther 2
1 After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
Ahashweroos Mootichi erga aariin isaa qabbanaaʼee booddee waan Waashtiin gootee fi labsii inni waaʼee ishee labse ni yaadate.
2 Then said the young men of the king, who waited upon him, —Let them seek out for the king young virgins, of pleasing appearance;
Kana irrattis tajaajiltoonni mootichaa akkana jedhanii yaada dhiʼeessan; “Dubarran babbareedoon mootichaaf haa barbaadaman.
3 and let the king appoint officers throughout all the provinces of his kingdom, and let them gather together every young virgin of pleasing appearance unto Shusan the palace, unto the house of the women, into the custody of Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and let there be given the things needed for their purification;
Akka isaan kutaalee biyyaa mootichaa hunda keessaa dubarran babbareedoo hunda gara Suusaa magaalaa guddoo iddoo dubartoonni jiraatanitti fidaniif mootichi itti gaafatamtoota haa muudu; isaanis Heegaayi xuʼaashii mootichaa itti gaafatamaa dubartoota sana jalatti haa ajajaman; dubarran sanaafis kunuunsi miidhaginaa haa godhamu.
4 and, the maiden that is pleasing in the eyes of the king, let her be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing seemed good in the eyes of the king, and he did so.
Ergasiis durbi mooticha gammachiiftu iddoo Waashtiin buutee niitii mootii haa taatu.” Gorsi kunis mooticha ni gammachiise; innis akkuma jedhame sana godhe.
5 A certain Jew, there was, in Shusan the palace, —whose, name, was Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a man of Benjamin;
Yeroo sanatti gosa Beniyaam keessaa namichi Yihuudaa ilmi Yaaʼiir, ilmi Shimeʼii, ilmi Qiish kan Mordekaayi jedhamu tokko Suusaa magaalaa muummittii keessa jiraata ture;
6 who had been exiled from Jerusalem, with the exiles who were carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, —whom, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, exiled.
innis warra Yehooyaakiin mooticha Yihuudaa wajjin Yerusaalemii Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabiloniin boojiʼamanii fudhataman keessaa tokko ture.
7 And it came to pass, that he was bringing up Hadassah, the same, was Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had neither father nor mother, —and, the maiden, was of beautiful form and pleasing appearance, and when her father and mother died, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
Mordekaayis, durbii Hadasaa jedhamtu kan sababii isheen abbaa fi haadha hin qabneef ofitti fudhate tokko qaba ture. Durbi Asteer jedhamtee beekamtu kun dhaabaa fi bifaan jaallatamtuu turte; yeroo abbaa fi haati ishee duʼanitti Mordekaayi ofitti fudhatee akkuma intala ofii isaatti guddifate.
8 So it came to pass, when the king’s command and decree was heard, and there had been gathered together many maidens unto Shusan the palace, unto the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the house of the king, unto the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women;
Yeroo ajajnii fi labsiin mootichaa dhagaʼametti dubarran hedduun gara Suusaa magaalaa gudditiitti fidamanii harka Hegeetti kennaman. Asteeris gara masaraa mootichaatti geeffamtee Heegaayi itti gaafatamaa dubartootaa sanatti imaanaa kennamte.
9 and the maiden was pleasing in his eyes, and she received lovingkindness before him, and he hastened to give her, the things needed for her purification, and things apportioned her, and to give her, seven select maidens, out of the house of the king, —and he removed her and her maidens to the best place in the house of the women.
Durbi sunis isa gammachiiftee fuula isaa duratti fudhatama argatte. Innis yommusuma dibata miidhagina isheetiif taʼuu fi nyaata addaa kenneef. Dubartoota ishee tajaajilan kanneen masaraa mootichaa keessaa filataman torbas isheedhaaf ramade; ishee fi tajaajiltoota ishee sana gara mana dubartootaa kan mana hunda caalaa filatamaa taʼeetti geesse.
10 Esther had not told of her people, nor of her kindred, —for, Mordecai, had laid charge upon her, that she should not tell.
Waan Mordekaayi akka isheen hin himne ishee dhowweef Asteer saba isheetii fi maalummaa maatii ishee hin himne.
11 And, throughout every day, Mordecai, used to walk to and fro, before the court of the house of the women, —to get to know the welfare of Esther, and what would be done with her.
Mordekaayis haala Asteer keessa jirtuu fi waan ishee irra gaʼe beekuudhaaf guyyuma guyyaadhaan fuula oobdii mana dubartootaa dura jiru sana irra deddeebiʼaa ture.
12 Now, when the turn of each maiden came, to go in unto King Ahasuerus, after it had been done to her according to the law of the women for twelve months, for, so, were filled the days of their purification, —six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes, and with things for the purification of the women,
Durbi tokko utuu dabareen isheen itti fuula Ahashweroos Mootichaa duratti dhiʼeeffamtu hin gaʼin dura akkuma seera dubartootaaf kaaʼame sanaatti kunuunsa miidhaginaa kan jiʼa kudha lamaa fixuu qabdi ture; isheenis jiʼa jaʼa zayitii qumbiitiin, jiʼa jaʼa immoo shittoo fi dibata garaa garaatiin miidhagfamuu qabdi ture.
13 then, indeed, the maiden came in unto the king, —whatsoever she might mention, was given her, to go with her, out of the house of the women up to the house of the king:
Haalli itti durbi tokko mooticha bira dhaqxu akkana ture: Wanni isheen mana dubartootaatii fudhattee gara masaraa mootichaa dhaquu feetu kam iyyuu ni kennamaaf ture.
14 in the evening, she went in, and, in the morning, she returned—unto the second house of the women, unto the custody of Shaashgaz the king’s eunuch, who kept the concubines, —she went not in again unto the king, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.
Isheenis galgala achi dhaqxee ganama immoo gara kutaa mana dubartootaa kan harka Shaʼasgaazi xuʼaashii itti gaafatamaa saajjatoowwan sana jala jiru kaaniitti deebiti turte; yoo mootichi itti gammadee maqaadhaan waame malee isheen gara mootichaatti hin deebitu turte.
15 But, when the turn came for Esther daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai—who had taken her as his own daughter—to go in unto the king, she requested nothing, save what Hegai the king’s eunuch who kept the women might direct, —but so it was, that Esther obtained favour in the eyes of all who beheld her.
Yommuu dabareen Asteer intalli Abiihaayil obboleessa abbaa Mordekaayi kan Mordekaayi akkuma intala ofii isaatti guddifate sun itti mooticha bira dhaqxu gaʼetti isheen waan Heegaayi xuʼaashiin mootichaa inni itti gaafatamaa mana dubartootaa ture sun gorse malee waan tokko illee hin gaafanne. Asteeris fuula nama ishee argu hundaa duratti fudhatama argatte.
16 So then Esther was taken unto King Ahasuerus, into his royal house, in the tenth month, the same, was the month Tebeth, —in the seventh year of his reign.
Isheenis bara mootichaa keessa waggaa torbaffaa jiʼa kurnaffaa Teebeeti jedhamu keessa gara mana jireenyaa Ahashweroos Mootichaatti dhiʼeeffamte.
17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favour and lovingkindness before him, above all the virgins, —so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen, instead of Vashti.
Mootichis dubartoota kaan hunda caalaa Asteerin jaallate; isheenis dubarran qulqulluu kaan hunda caalaa fuula isaa duratti surraa fi fudhatama argatte. Kanaafuu inni gonfoo mootummaa mataa ishee irra kaaʼeefii qooda Waashtiin ishee mootittii taasise.
18 Then the king made a great banquet, for all his rulers and his servants, the banquet of Esther, —and, a remission, for all the provinces, made he, and gave a present, according to the bounty of a king.
Ergasiis mootichi ulfina Asteeriitiif jedhee qondaaltota isaatii fi tajaajiltoota isaatiif cidha guddaa qopheesse. Innis ayyaana kana guutummaa kutaalee biyyaa keessatti labse; akkuma arjooma mootiitti kennaas kenne.
19 Now, when virgins were gathered together second time, then, Mordecai, was sitting in the gate of the king.
Yommuu dubarran qulqulloonni sun yeroo lammaffaa walitti qabamanitti Mordekaayi karra mootichaa dura taaʼaa ture.
20 Esther had not told of her kindred, nor her people, as, Mordecai, had laid charge upon her, —and, the command of Mordecai, Esther performed, like as when she was being brought up with him.
Asteer garuu akkuma Mordekaayi ishee gorse sanatti maalummaa maatii isheetii fi saba ishee hin himne; Asteer akkuma yeroo inni ishee guddise sanaatti ajaja Mordekaayi eegaa turteetii.
21 In those days, when, Mordecai, was sitting in the gate of the king, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king who guarded the threshold, were wroth, and sought to thrust a hand upon King Ahasuerus;
Yeroo Mordekaayi karra mootichaa dura taaʼaa turetti qondaaltonni mootichaa warri balbala eegaa turan lamaan jechuunis Bigtaanaa fi Tereshi aaranii Ahashweroos Mooticha ajeessuuf malatan.
22 but the thing became known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen, —and Esther told it unto the king, in the name of Mordecai.
Mordekaayi garuu waaʼee mala kanaa beekee Asteer Mootittiitti hime; Asteer immoo maqaa Mordekaayiin waan kana mootichatti himte.
23 And, when the thing was searched into and found [true], then were they two hanged upon the gallows, and it was written, in the book of the chronicles, before the king.
Yeroo wanni sun qoratamee dhugaa taʼee argametti qondaaltonni sun lamaanuu muka irratti fannifaman. Wanni kun hundinuu fuula mootichaa duratti kitaaba seenaa keessatti barreeffame.
