Esther 4
1 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
Mordekaayi yeroo waan hojjetame sana hunda beeketti uffata isaa tarsaasee, wayyaa gaddaa uffatee, daaraa ofitti firfirsee, sagalee guddaadhaan wawwaachaa hiqqifatees booʼaa gara walakkaa magaalaatti gad baʼe.
2 And came even before the king's gate: for none [might] enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
Inni garuu sababii namni uffata gaddaa uffate tokko iyyuu akka ol seenu hin eeyyamamneef hamma karra mootichaa qofatti deeme.
3 And in every province whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, [there was] great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Kutaalee biyyaa hunda iddoo ajajnii fi labsiin mootichaa gaʼetti gaddi guddaan, soomni booʼichii fi wawwaannaan Yihuudoota gidduu ture; baayʼeen isaanii uffata gaddaa uffatanii daaraa keessa ciisan.
4 So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told [it] to her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received [it] not.
Yeroo dubartoonni tajaajiltoonni Asteerii fi xuʼaashiiwwan dhufanii waaʼee Mordekaayi isheetti himanitti Asteer akka malee gaddite. Isheenis qooda uffata gaddaa wayyaa inni uffatu ergiteef; inni garuu isaan harkaa fudhachuu dide.
5 Then called Esther for Hatach, [one] of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it [was], and why it [was].
Kana irratti Asteer xuʼaashiiwwan mootichaa keessaa Hataak isa ishee tajaajiluuf ramadame sana waamtee akka inni Mordekaayi bira deemee, rakkoo uumamee fi rakkoon sun maaliif akka uumame beekuuf ajajje.
6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai, to the street of the city, which [was] before the king's gate.
Kanaafuu Hataak gara oobdii magaalattii kan karra mootichaa duraa sanaatti Mordekaayiitti baʼe.
7 And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
Mordekaayi waan isa irra gaʼe hunda, maallaqa Haamaan Yihuudoota balleessuudhaaf mankuusa qabeenya mootichaatti galchuuf waadaa gale isatti hima.
8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show [it] to Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to charge her that she should go in to the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him for her people.
Akkasumas Mordekaayi akka inni Asteeritti argisiisee isheedhaaf ibsuuf garagalcha barreeffama labsii kan isaan balleessuudhaaf Suusaa keessatti labsame sana isatti kenne; akka inni akka isheen mooticha bira dhaqxee itti boossee saba isheetiif araara kadhattu itti himuufis isa ajaje.
9 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Hataak deebiʼee waan Mordekaayi jedhe Asteeritti hime.
10 Again Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment to Mordecai;
Asteer immoo akka inni akkana jedhee Mordekaayiitti himu isa ajajje;
11 All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, [there is] one law of his to put [him] to death, except him to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.
“Qondaaltonni mootichaa hundii fi sabni kutaalee biyyaa mootichaa akka mootichi yoo namni kam iyyuu dhiiras taʼu dubartiin utuu hin waamamin kutaa manaa isa gara keessaa ol seenee fuula mootichaa duratti dhiʼaate akka mootichi seera tokko qofa qabu jechuunis akka ajjeefamu ni beeku. Namni tokko yoo mootichi bokkuu mootummaa kan warqee sana diriirseef qofa ajjeefamuu oola. Ani mataan koo iyyuu guyyoota soddomman kana keessaa akkan fuula mootichaa duratti dhiʼaadhuuf waamamee hin beeku.”
12 And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
Yommuu dubbiin Asteer Mordekaayiitti himametti,
13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house more than all the Jews.
inni akkana jedhee deebii kana erge: “Ati sababii mana mootichaa keessa jirtuuf Yihuudoota hunda keessaa waan ati qofti baraaramtu hin seʼin.
14 For if thou shalt altogether hold thy peace at this time, [then] will there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house will be destroyed: and who knoweth, whether thou hast come to the kingdom for [such] a time as this?
Yoo ati yeroo kanatti calʼifte gargaarsaa fi furamni Yihuudootaa iddoo biraatii ni dhufa; atii fi manni abbaa keetii garuu ni baddu. Maaltu beeka? Ati taayitaa mootummaa qabachuun kee yeroo akkanaatiif taʼaatii.”
15 Then Esther bade [them] return Mordecai [this answer],
Kana irratti Asteer akkana jettee deebii kana Mordekaayiitti ergite:
16 Go, assemble all the Jews [that are] present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in to the king, which [is] not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.
“Dhaqiitii Yihuudoota Suusaa keessa jiran hunda walitti qabiitii naa soomaa. Bultii sadii, guyyaa yookaan halkan illee homaa hin nyaatinaa yookaan homaa hin dhuginaa. Anii fi dubartoonni tajaajiltoonni koo iyyuu akkuma keessan ni soomna. Yoo akkas taʼe wanni kun seeraan ala taʼu illee ani gara mootichaa nan dhaqa. Ani yoon bades nan bada.”
17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Kanaafuu Mordekaayi deemee waan Asteer isa ajajje hunda hojii irra oolche.
