Asteer 7
1 Mootichii fi Haamaan gara cidha Asteer Mootittiin qopheessite sanaa dhaqan;
So the king and Aman went in, to drink with the queen.
2 utuma guyyaa lammaffaa sanatti daadhii wayinii dhugaa jiranuu, mootichi akkana jedhee gaafate; “Yaa Asteer Mootittii wanni ati kadhattu maal? Wanni sun siif kennama. Gaaffiin kee maal? Walakkaa mootummaa koo illee taanaan wanni ati gaafattu siif kennama.”
And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it.
3 Asteer Mootittiin akkana jettee deebifte; “Yaa mooticha, yoo ani fuula kee duratti fudhatama argadhee jiraadhe, yoo wanni kunis mooticha gammachiise, lubbuu koo naaf oolchi; kadhaan koo kanuma. Saba koo illee naaf baraar; gaaffiin koos kanuma.
Then she answered: If I have found Favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please thee, give me my life for which I ask, and my people for which I request.
4 Anii fi sabni koo ajjeefamuutti, barbadeeffamuu fi lafa irraa balleeffamuutti gurguramneerraatii. Nu utuu dhiiraa fi dubartiin garbummaa qofatti gurguramne taʼee, ani silaa nan calʼisan ture; rakkinni akkasii mooticha jeequuf sababii gaʼaa mitiitii.”
For we are given up, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. And would God we were sold for bondmen and bondwomen: the evil might be borne with, and I would have mourned in silence: but now we have an enemy, whose cruelty redoundeth upon the king.
5 Ahashweroos Mootichis, “Inni eenyuu? Namni waan akkasii gochuuf ija jabaate sun eessa jira?” jedhee Asteer Mootittii gaafate.
And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things?
6 Asteer immoo, “Amajaajii fi diinni sun Haamaan namichuma jalʼaa kanaa dha” jette. Kana irratti Hamaan fuula mootichaatii fi mootittii duratti akka malee rifate.
And Esther said: It is this Aman that is our adversary and most wicked enemy. Aman hearing this was forthwith astonished, not being able to bear the countenance of the king and of the queen.
7 Mootichis aaree kaʼee daadhii wayinii isaa dhiisee gad baʼee iddoo biqiltuu masaraa mootummaa seene. Haamaan garuu akka mootichi isa balleessuudhaaf kutate beekkatee lubbuu ofii oolfachuudhaaf Asteer Mootittii kadhachuudhaaf duubatti hafe.
But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king.
8 Yeroo mootichi iddoo biqiltuu masaraa mootummaatii gara galma cidhaatti deebiʼetti Haamaan siree Asteer itti irkattee turte irratti gombifamee ture. Mootichis, “Inni inumaa iyyuu manuma koo keessatti utuma isheen na wajjin jirtuu ishee qabataa?” jedhee dubbate. Akkuma dubbiin kun afaan mootichaatii baʼeen isaan fuula Haamaan haguugan.
And when the king came back out of the garden set with trees, and entered into the place of the banquet, he found Aman was fallen upon the bed on which Esther lay, and he said: He will force the queen also in my presence, in my own house. The word was not yet gone out of the king’s mouth, and immediately they covered his face.
9 Ergasiis xuʼaashiiwwan mooticha tajaajilan keessaa Harboonaan akkana jedhe; “Mukni dhundhuma shantama ol dheeratu tokko mana Haamaa bira dhaabameera. Muka kanas Haamaanitu Mordekaayi isa mooticha gargaaruudhaaf dubbate sana itti fannisuudhaaf dhaabe.” Mootichis, “Achi irratti isa fannisaa!” jedhe.
And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman’s house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it.
10 Kanaafuu isaan muka inni Mordekaayiif qopheesse sana irratti Haamaanin fannisan. Ergasiis aariin mootichaa ni qabbanaaʼe.
So Aman was hanged on the gibbet, which he had prepared for Mardochai: and the king’s wrath ceased.
