Asteer 7
1 Mootichii fi Haamaan gara cidha Asteer Mootittiin qopheessite sanaa dhaqan;
So the king and Haman went to feast with Queen Esther.
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.”
On this second day, while they were serving wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It will be granted to you. What is your request? Up to half of the kingdom, and it will be granted.”
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 Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, king, and if it pleases you, let my life be given to me—this is my petition, and I request this also for my people.
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 have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed, and annihilated. If we had only been sold into slavery, as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, for no such distress as this would justify disturbing the king.”
5 Ahashweroos Mootichis, “Inni eenyuu? Namni waan akkasii gochuuf ija jabaate sun eessa jira?” jedhee Asteer Mootittii gaafate.
Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he? Where is this person to be found who has filled his heart to do such a thing?”
6 Asteer immoo, “Amajaajii fi diinni sun Haamaan namichuma jalʼaa kanaa dha” jette. Kana irratti Hamaan fuula mootichaatii fi mootittii duratti akka malee rifate.
Esther said, “The hostile man, that enemy, is this evil Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and 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.
The king got up in a rage from the wine-drinking at the feast and went into the palace garden, but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther. He saw that disaster was being decided against 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.
Then the king returned from the palace garden into the room where the wine had been served. Haman had just fallen on the couch where Esther was. The king said, “Will he assault the queen in my presence in my own house?” As soon as this sentence came out of the king's mouth, the servants covered Haman's 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.
Then Harbona, one of the officials who served the king, said, “A gallows fifty cubits tall stands beside Haman's house. He set it up for Mordecai, the one who spoke up to protect the king.” The king said, “Hang him on it.”
10 Kanaafuu isaan muka inni Mordekaayiif qopheesse sana irratti Haamaanin fannisan. Ergasiis aariin mootichaa ni qabbanaaʼe.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's rage died down.
