Asteer 8
1 Gaafuma sana Ahashweroos Mootichi qabeenya Haamaan isa diina Yihuudootaa ture sanaa Asteer Mootittiif kenne. Asteer akka inni fira ishee taʼe waan mootichatti himtee turteef Mordekaayi fuula mootichaa duratti dhiʼaate.
In that dai kyng Assuerus yaf to Hester, the queen, the hows of Aaman, aduersarie of Jewis. And Mardochee entride bifor the face of the kyng; for Hester knoulechide to hym, that he was `hir fadris brother.
2 Mootichis qubeelaa chaappaa isaa kan Haamaan irraa deebisee fudhate sana ofi irraa baasee Mordekaayiif kenne. Asteeris qabeenya Haamaan irratti Mordekaayiin muudde.
Therfor the kyng took the ryng, which he hadde comaundid to be resseyued fro Aaman, and yaf to Mardochee. Forsothe Hester ordeynede Mardochee ouer hir hows.
3 Asteer miilla isaa irratti kuftee booʼaa ammas mooticha kadhatte. Isheenis akka inni karoora jalʼaa kan Haamaan namichi biyya Agaag sun Yihuudootatti baase sana fashaleessuuf isa kadhatte.
And Hester was not appaied with these thingis, and felde doun to the feet of the kyng, and wepte, and spak to hym, and preiede, that he schulde comaunde the malice of Aaman of Agag, and hise worste castis, whiche he hadde thouyte out ayens Jewis, `to be maad voide.
4 Mootichis bokkuu warqee Asteeriif diriirsinaan isheen kaatee fuula isaa dura dhaabatte.
And the kyng bi custom helde forth the goldun yerde of the kyng with his hond, bi which the signe of merci was schewid. `Therfor sche roos vp,
5 Isheen akkana jette; “Yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiise, yoo ani fuula mootichaa duratti surraa argadhee jiraadhe, yoo wanni kun qajeelaa isatti fakkaatee fi yoo inni natti gammade, xalayaa Haamaan ilmi Hamedaataa namichi biyya Agaag sun Yihuudoota kutaalee biyyaa mootichaa hunda keessa jiraatan balleessuudhaaf barreesse sana fashaleessuuf ajajni haa barreeffamu.
and stood bifor hym, and seide, If it plesith the kyng, and if Y haue founde grace bifor hise iyen, and if my preier is not seyn `to be contrarie to hym, Y biseche, that the elde lettris of Aaman, traitour and enemy of Jewis, by whiche he hadde comaundid hem to perische in alle the prouynces of the kyng, be amendid bi newe pistlis;
6 Ani utuun balaa saba koo irra gaʼu arguu akkamittin obsuu dandaʼa? Akkamittis badiisa maatii koo argee obsuu dandaʼa?”
for hou schal Y mowe suffre the deth, and the sleyng of my puple?
7 Ahashweroos Mootichis akkana jedhee Asteer Mootittii fi Mordekaayi Yihuudichaaf deebii kenne; “Sababii Haamaan Yihuudoota miidheef ani qabeenya isaa Asteeriif kenneera; isaanis muka irratti isa fannisaniiru.
And kyng Assuerus answeride to Hester, the queen, and to Mardochee, Jew, Y grauntide the hows of Aaman to Hester, the queen, and Y comaundide hym to be hangid `on the cros, for he was hardi to sette hond ayens the Jewis.
8 Sababii labsiin maqaa mootichaatiin barreeffamee chaappaan qubeelaa mootichaa itti godhame diigamuu hin dandeenyeef isin akkuma jaallattanitti waan Yihuudoota ilaalu maqaa mootichaatiin barreessaatii chaappaa qubeelaa mootichaa itti chaappessaa.”
Therfor write ye to Jewis, as it plesith to you, `bi the name of the kyng, and aseele ye the lettris with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durste ayenseie the pistlis, that weren sente in the kyngis name, and weren aseelid with his ryng.
9 Barreessitoonni mootichaas yommusuma bultii digdamii sadaffaa jiʼa sadaffaatti jiʼa Siiwaan jedhamu keessa walitti waamaman. Isaanis ajaja Mordekaayi hunda gara Yihuudoota, ergamoota, bulchitootaa fi namoota bebeekamoo kutaalee biyyaa 127 kanneen biyya Hindiitii hamma Itoophiyaatti jiraatanitti barreessanii ergan. Ajajni kunis arfii tokkoo tokkoo kutaalee biyyaatiin, afaan tokkoo tokkoo sabaatiin akkasumas Yihuudootatti arfii fi afaanuma ofii isaaniitiin barreeffame.
And whanne the dyteris and `writeris of the kyng weren clepid; `sotheli it was the tyme of the thridde monethe, which is clepid Siban, in the thre and twentithe dai of that monethe; pistlis weren writun, as Mardochee wolde, to Jewis, and to princes, and to procuratouris, and to iugis, that weren souereyns of an hundrid and seuene and twenti prouynces, fro Iynde `til to Ethiope, to prouynce and to prouynce, to puple and to puple, bi her langagis and lettris, and to Jewis, that thei myyten rede and here.
10 Mordekaayis maqaa Ahashweroos Mootichaatiin xalayoota barreessee chaappaa qubeelaa mootichaa itti chaappesse; xalayoota sanas abbootii fardaa kanneen fardeen mootichaaf leenjifaman keessaa collee taʼan yaabbatanitti erge.
And tho pistlis, that weren sent `bi the kyngis name, weren aseelid with his ryng, and sent bi messangeris, whiche runnen aboute bi alle prouynces, and camen with newe messagis bifor the elde lettris.
11 Labsiin mootichaa akka Yihuudoonni magaalaawwan hunda keessa jiraatan walitti qabaman, akka of eeganii fi akka isaan humna waraana saba kamii iyyuu yookaan biyya kamii iyyuu kan isaan, dubartoota isaaniitii fi ijoollee isaanii miidhu akka ajjeesan, akka barbadeessanii fi lafa irraa balleessan akkasumas akka qabeenya diinota isaanii saaman mirga kenneef.
To whiche the kyng comaundide, that thei schulden clepe togidere the Jewis bi alle citees, `and comaunde to be gaderid togidere, that thei schulden stonde for her lyues; and schulden sle, and do awei alle her enemyes, with her wyues and children, and alle howsis.
12 Guyyaan akka Yihuudoonni kutaalee biyya Ahashweroos Mootichaa hunda keessatti waan kana godhan murtaaʼeefis bultii kudha sadaffaa jiʼa kudha lammaffaa, jiʼa Adaar jedhamu keessa ture.
And o dai of veniaunce, that is, in the thrittenthe dai of the tweluethe monethe Adar, was ordeined bi alle prouynces.
13 Garagalchi labsii sanaas kutaalee biyyaa hunda keessatti akka seeraatti raabsamee sabni hundi beekuu qaba ture; kunis akka Yihuudoonnis diinota isaanii haaloo baʼuuf gaafasitti qophaaʼaniif.
And the schort sentence of the pistle was this, that it were maad knowun in alle londis and puplis, that weren suget to the empire of kyng Assuerus, that the Jewis ben redi to take veniaunce of her enemyes.
14 Ergamoonni fardeen mootichaa yaabbatan sunis ajaja mootichaatiin ariifatanii gulufaa deeman. Labsiin sunis gamoo Suusaa keessatti labsame.
And the messangeris yeden out, bifor berynge swift messages; and the comaundement of the kyng hangide in Susa.
15 Mordekaayis uffata mootii kan bifa cuquliisaatii fi adii uffatee, gonfoo warqee guddaa isaa kaaʼatee wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame dhiilgee irraan uffatee fuula mootichaa duraa baʼe. Magaalaan Suusaas gammaddee ililchite.
Sotheli Mardochee yede out of the paleis and of the kyngis siyt, and schynede in the kyngis clothis, that is, of iacynct and of colour of the eir, and he bar a goldun coroun in his heed, and was clothid with a mentil of selk and of purpur; and al the citee fulli ioiede, and was glad.
16 Yeroon sun Yihuudootaaf ifa, gammachuu, ilillee fi yeroo ulfinaa ture.
Forsothe a newe liyt semede to rise to the Jewis,
17 Kutaalee biyyaatii fi magaalaawwan hunda keessatti, lafa labsiin mootichaa gaʼe hundatti Yihuudoonni ilillee fi gammachuudhaan, nyaataa fi dhugaatiidhaan ni ayyaaneffatan. Namoonni gosa kaanii hedduun sababii Yihuudoota sodaataniif Yihuudoota taʼan.
ioie, onour, and daunsyng, at alle puplis, citees, and alle prouynces, whidur euere the comaundementis of the kyng camen, a wondurful ioie, metis, and feestis, and an hooli dai, in so myche, that many of an other folk and sect weren ioyned to the religioun and cerymonyes of hem; for the greet drede of the name of Jewis `hadde asaylid alle hem.
