Esther 5
1 Now on the third day, Esther put on her royal clothing and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance 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 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favour in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the sceptre.
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 asked her, “What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.”
Mootichi, “Yaa Asteer Mootittii maal siif godhu? Maal barbaadda? Walakkaa mootummaa koo illee taanaan siif ni kennama” jedheen.
4 Esther said, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared 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, “Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Mootichis, “Akka waan Asteer jette sana goonuuf dafaatii Hamaa fidaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu mootichii fi Haamaan gara cidha Asteer qopheessite sanaa dhaqan.
6 The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
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 answered and said, “My petition and my request is this.
Asteeris akkana jettee deebifteef; “Wanni ani kadhadhuu fi gaaffiin koo kanaa dha:
8 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow 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 Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he didn’t stand up nor move for him, he was filled with 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 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called 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 Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes 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 Haman also said, “Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together 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 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
Taʼus wanni kun hundinuu utuu ani Mordekaayi Yihuudicha isaa karra mootichaa dura taaʼu arguu na hin gammachiisu.”
14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet.” This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows 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.
