Asteer 9
1 Bultii kudha sadaffaa jiʼa kudha lammaffaatti, jiʼa Adaar keessa labsiin mootichi ajaje sun hojii irra ooluu qaba ture. Guyyaa kanatti diinonni Yihuudootaa isaan moʼachuu abdatanii turan; amma garuu dubbiin garagalee Yihuudoonni warra isaan jibban sana irratti ol aantummaa argatan.
And in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the king's command with his law drew near to he put into execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to have power over them, which had been changed nevertheless, so that the Jews had power over those that hated them,
2 Yihuudoonnis warra badiisa isaanii hawwaa turan sana balleessuudhaaf magaalaawwan ofii isaanii kanneen kutaa biyyaa Ahashweroos Mootichaa hunda keessatti argamanitti walitti qabaman. Sababii namoonni saba kaanii hundinuu Yihuudoota sodaataniif namni tokko iyyuu fuula isaanii dura dhaabachuu hin dandeenye.
The Jews assembled together in their cities, throughout all the provinces of king Achashverosh, to stretch out their hand against those that had sought their injury: and no man could keep standing before them; for the dread of them had fallen upon all the nations.
3 Namoonni bebeekamoon kutaalee biyyaa hundi, ergamoonni, bulchitoonnii fi qondaaltonni mootichaa sababii Mordekaayiin sodaataniif Yihuudoota gargaaran.
And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the governors, and the superintendents of the affairs of the king, elevated the Jews; because the dread of Mordecai had fallen upon them.
4 Mordekaayi masaraa mootummaa keessatti beekamaa ture; waaʼeen isaa kutaalee biyyaa guutuu gaʼe; innis akka malee jabaachaa deeme.
For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.
5 Yihuudoonni diinota isaanii hunda goraadeedhaan cicciranii ajjeesuudhaan barbadeessanii warra isaan jibbanis akkuma barbaadan godhan.
And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and extermination; and they acted with those that hated them according to their pleasure.
6 Gamoo Suusaa keessattis Yihuudoonni nama dhibba shan qalanii fixan.
And in Shushan the capital the Jews slew and exterminated five hundred men.
7 Amma illee Paarshandaataa, Dalfoon, Asfaataa,
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Phooraataa, Adaliyaa, Ariidaataa,
And Poratha, and Adalya, and Aridatha,
9 Paarmaashitaa, Ariisayi, Ariidayii fi Wayizaataa ajjeesan;
And Parmashtha, and Arissai, and Aridai, and Vayzatha,
10 isaan kunneen ilmaan Haamaan ilma Hamedaataa namicha diina Yihuudootaa ture sanaa kurnanii dha. Yihuudoonni garuu boojuu tokko illee hin tuqne.
The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the adversary of the Jews, did they slay; but to the spoil did they not stretch forth their hand.
11 Baayʼinni namoota gamoo Suusaa keessatti ajjeefamaniis guyyuma sana mootichatti himame.
On that same day came the number of those that were slain in Shushan the capital before the king.
12 Mootichis Asteer Mootittiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Yihuudoonni namoota dhibba shanii fi ilmaan Haamaan kurnan gamoo Suusaa keessatti ajjeesanii balleessaniiru. Kutaalee biyyaa mootichaa kanneen hafan keessatti maal godhan laata? Amma wanni ati kadhattu maali? Wanni sun siif kennama. Gaaffiin kee maali? Wanni sunis siif guutama.”
Then said the king unto Esther the queen, In Shushan the capital have the Jews slain and exterminated five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman: what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request farther? and it shall be done.
13 Asteeris akkana jettee deebifte; “Yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiise akka Yihuudoonni Suusaa keessa jiran labsii harʼaa kana bori illee hojii irra oolchaniif eeyyama kennaniif; ilmaan Haamaan kurnanis muka irratti haa fannifaman.”
Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it tomorrow also be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do according to the law of this day, and let the ten sons of Haman be hanged on the gallows.
14 Kanaafuu mootichi akka wanni kun raawwatamu ajaje. Labsiin tokko Suusaa keessatti labsame; isaanis ilmaan Haamaan kurnan fannisan.
And the king ordered that it should be done so; and the law was given out at Shushan; and the ten sons of Haman were hanged.
15 Yihuudoonni Suusaa keessa jiraatan bultii kudha afuraffaa jiʼa Adaaritti walitti qabamanii nama dhibba sadii Suusaa keessatti fixan; garuu boojuu tokko illee hin tuqne.
And the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and slew at Shushan three hundred men; but to the spoil they did not stretch forth their hand.
16 Yeroo kanatti Yihuudoonni kutaalee biyya mootichaa keessatti hafan kaanis mataa isaanii eeguu fi diinota isaanii irraa boqochuuf jedhanii walitti qabaman. Isaanis jara keessaa nama kuma torbaatamii shan fixan; garuu boojuu tokko illee hin tuqne.
And the remaining Jews that were in the king's provinces assembled together, and stood forward for their life, and procured rest from their enemies, and slew of those that hated them seventy and five thousand; but to the spoil did they not stretch forth their hand,
17 Wanni kunis bultii kudha sadaffaa jiʼa Adaar keessa taʼe; guyyaa kudha afuraffaatti immoo boqotanii guyyaa sana guyyaa cidhaa fi gammachuu godhatan.
On the thirteenth day of the month Adar, and they rested on the fourteenth day thereof, and made it a day of entertainment and joy.
18 Taʼus Yihuudoonni Suusaa keessa jiraatan guyyaa kudha sadaffaa fi kudha afuraffaatti walitti qabaman; ergasii immoo guyyaa kudha shanaffaatti boqotanii guyyaa sana guyyaa cidhaa fi gammachuu godhatan.
But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof, and rested on the fifteenth thereof, and made it a day of entertainment and joy.
19 Sababiin Yihuudoonni baadiyyaa kanneen gandoota keessa jiraatan guyyaa kudha afuraffaa jiʼa Adaar akka guyyaa cidhaa fi gammachuutti, akka guyyaa itti kennaa waliif kennaniittis ayyaaneffataniif kanuma.
Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar as one of joy and entertainment, and a feast-day, and of sending portions one to another.
20 Mordekaayis wantoota kanneen galmeessee Yihuudoota kutaalee biyya Ahashweroos Mootichaa keessa dhiʼoo fi fagoo jiraatan hundatti xalayoota erge;
And Mordecai wrote down these events; and he sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of king Achashverosh, those nigh and those far away,
21 kunis akka isaan waggaa waggaadhaan guyyaa kudha afuraffaa fi kudha shanaffaa jiʼa Adaar
To take it on themselves as a duty, that they should celebrate the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same in each and every year,
22 akkuma yeroo itti Yihuudoonni diinota isaanii irraa boqonnaa argataniittii fi akka jiʼa itti gaddi isaanii gara gammachuutti, booʼichi isaanii immoo gara kolfaatti geeddarameetti ayyaaneffataniif. Innis akka isaan guyyoota sana akka guyyoota cidhaa fi gammachuutti, akka guyyoota itti nyaata waliif kennanii hiyyeeyyiifis kennaa kennaniitti ayyaaneffatanitti isaaniif barreesse.
Like those days whereon the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was changed unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a feast-day: to make them days of entertainment and joy, and of sending portions one to the other, and gifts to the needy.
23 Akkasiin Yihuudoonni akkuma Mordekaayi isaaniif barreessetti ayyaana ayyaaneffachuu jalqaban sana itti fufuuf walii galan.
And the Jews took upon themselves that which they had begun already to do, and that which Mordecai had written unto them.
24 Haamaan ilmi Hamedaataa namichi biyya Agaag diinni Yihuudoota hundaa sun Yihuudoota balleessuudhaaf isaanitti yaadee akka isaan badanii fi barbadeeffamaniif ixaa Fuur jedhamu buusee tureetii.
Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to exterminate them, and had cast the Pur, that is, the lot, to destroy them, and to exterminate them.
25 Yeroo yaadni sun gurra mootichaa buʼetti mootichi akka yaadni jalʼaan kan Hamaan Yihuudootatti yaade sun matuma isaatti deebiʼee innii fi ilmaan isaa muka irratti fannifamaniif barreeffamaan ajaja dabarse.
But when [Esther] came before the king, he ordered by that letter that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head: and they hanged him and his sons on the gallows.
26 Kanaafuu guyyoonni sun jecha Fuur jedhamu irraa Furiim jedhamanii moggaafaman. Sababii waan xalayaa kana keessatti barreeffame hundaatii fi sababii waan arganiitii fi waan isaan irra gaʼee tureetiif,
Therefore did they call these days Purim, after the name of Pur: therefore, because of all the words of this letter, both for that which they had experienced thereby, and for that which had occurred unto them,
27 Yihuudoonni akka guyyoonni lamaan kunneen akkuma barreeffamettii fi yeroo murteeffametti utuu addaan hin citin waggaa waggaadhaan ayyaaneffamaniif bartee ofii isaanii, kan sanyiiwwan isaaniitii fi warra isaanitti dabalaman hundaa godhanii dhaabbatan.
The Jews confirmed it as a duty, and took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon all such as join themselves unto them, so that no one should fail therein, that they would celebrate these two days according to their prescription, and at their appointed time, in each and every year.
28 Guyyoonni kunneen dhaloota hunda keessatti, maatii hundaan, kutaalee biyyaa hundaa fi magaalaa hunda keessatti yaadatamuu fi kabajamuu qabu; guyyoonni Furiim kunneen Yihuudootaan kabajamuunis hafuu hin qabu; yaadannoon guyyoota kanneeniis sanyii isaanii keessaa baduu hin qabu.
And these days are remembered and celebrated throughout each and every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and these days of Purim will not pass away from the midst of the Jews, nor will their memorial cease from their seed.
29 Kanaafuu Asteer Mootittiin intalli Abiihaayil sun Mordekaayi Yihuudicha wajjin taʼanii xalayaa lammaffaa waaʼee Furiim dubbatu kana mirkaneessuudhaaf aangoo guutuudhaan barreessan.
Then wrote Esther the queen, the daughter of Abichayil, with Mordecai the Jew, with all due strength, to confirm this letter of Purim the second time.
30 Mordekaayis Yihuudoota kutaalee biyyaa 127 kanneen mootummaa Ahashweroos keessa jiraatan hundatti dubbii hawwii nagaatii fi qabbanaa barreessee erge.
And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Achashverosh, word's of peace and truth,
31 Kunis akka guyyoonni Furiim kunneen akkuma Mordekaayi Yihuudichii fi Asteer Mootittiin isaaniif labsanitti, akkuma isaanis ofii isaaniitii fi sanyiiwwan isaaniitiif waaʼee soomaatii fi yeroo booʼicha isaanii ilaalchisee dhaabbatanitti yeroo murtaaʼetti ayyaaneffamuuf.
To confirm these days of Purim in their times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined on them, and as they had confirmed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their prayers.
32 Labsiin Asteeris seera waaʼee Furiim kana mirkaneesse; wanni kunis galmee keessatti barreeffame.
And the order of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
