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, the same, is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the word of the king and his edict arrived to be put in execution, —on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, though it, was changed, so that the Jews themselves should have power over them who 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 themselves together in their cities, throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to thrust forth a hand against them who were seeking their hurt, and, no man, stood before them, for the dread of them had fallen upon all the peoples.
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 satraps and the pashas, and the doers of business that pertained to the king, were extolling the Jews, —for 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.
since great was Mordecai, in the house of the king, and, his fame, was going forth throughout all the provinces, —for, the man Mordecai, went on waxing great.
5 Yihuudoonni diinota isaanii hunda goraadeedhaan cicciranii ajjeesuudhaan barbadeessanii warra isaan jibbanis akkuma barbaadan godhan.
So then the Jews smote all their enemies, with the smiting of the sword and slaughter, and destruction, —and they dealt with them who hated them according to their pleasure.
6 Gamoo Suusaa keessattis Yihuudoonni nama dhibba shan qalanii fixan.
Yea, in Shusan the palace, did the Jews slay and destroy five hundred men.
7 Amma illee Paarshandaataa, Dalfoon, Asfaataa,
And Parshandatha and Dalphon, and Aspatha;
8 Phooraataa, Adaliyaa, Ariidaataa,
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha;
9 Paarmaashitaa, Ariisayi, Ariidayii fi Wayizaataa ajjeesan;
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha; —
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 son of Hammedatha, the adversary of the Jews, slew they, —but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.
11 Baayʼinni namoota gamoo Suusaa keessatti ajjeefamaniis guyyuma sana mootichatti himame.
On that day, came in the number of the slain into Shusan the palace, 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 Shusan the palace, have the Jews slain and caused to perish five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman, —in the rest of the provinces of the king, what have they done? What, then, is thy petition, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy request further, that it may he performed?
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, unto the king, it seem good, let it be granted, to-morrow also, unto the Jews who are in Shusan, to do according to the edict of to-day, —and that, the ten sons of Haman, be hanged upon the gallows.
14 Kanaafuu mootichi akka wanni kun raawwatamu ajaje. Labsiin tokko Suusaa keessatti labsame; isaanis ilmaan Haamaan kurnan fannisan.
And the king commanded it to be done so, and there was given an edict, in Shusan, —and, the ten sons of Haman, they 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.
So the Jews who were in Shusan assembled themselves together, on the fourteenth day also, of the month Adar, and slew in Shusan three hundred men, —but, on the spoil, thrust they not 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 remainder of the Jews who were in the provinces of the king, assembled themselves together and stood for their life, and then had rest from their enemies, having slain of them that hated them seventy-five thousand, —but, on the spoil, thrust they not 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 then had rest on the fourteenth day thereof, and made it a day of banqueting and rejoicing.
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 who were in Shusan, assembled themselves together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth day thereof, —and then had rest on the fifteenth day thereof, and made it a day of banqueting and rejoicing.
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.
For this cause, the country Jews, who dwelt in the country towns, were making the fourteenth day of the month Adar one of rejoicing and banqueting, and a day of happiness, —and of sending portions every one to his neighbour.
20 Mordekaayis wantoota kanneen galmeessee Yihuudoota kutaalee biyya Ahashweroos Mootichaa keessa dhiʼoo fi fagoo jiraatan hundatti xalayoota erge;
And Mordecai wrote these things, —and sent letters unto all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, near, and far off;
21 kunis akka isaan waggaa waggaadhaan guyyaa kudha afuraffaa fi kudha shanaffaa jiʼa Adaar
to establish for them, that they should continue to observe the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day thereof, —always year by 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.
according to the days wherein the Jews found rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned for them, from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a happy day, —that they should make them days of banqueting and rejoicing, and of sending portions, every one to his neighbour, and gifts, unto the needy.
23 Akkasiin Yihuudoonni akkuma Mordekaayi isaaniif barreessetti ayyaana ayyaaneffachuu jalqaban sana itti fufuuf walii galan.
And the Jews took upon them that which they had begun 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, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews, to cause them to perish, —and had cast Pur, the same, is the Lot, to terrify them, and to destroy 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, by [Esther’s] going in before the king, he commanded by letter, that his wicked plot which he had plotted against the Jews, should return, upon his own head, —and that he and his sons should be hanged upon 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,
For this cause, called they these days Purim, after the name Pur, for this cause, —for all the words of this epistle, —and what they had seen concerning such a matter, and what had reached 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 established and took upon themselves—and upon their seed, and upon all who should join themselves unto them, that it might not pass away, that they would continue to keep these two days, according to the writing concerning them and at their set time, —always year by 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, were to be remembered and to be kept, always from generation to generation, by every family, every province, and every city, —that, these days of Purim, should not pass away, out of the midst of the Jews, and, the memorial of them, not 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 daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew, with all authority, —to confirm this second epistle concerning the Purim;
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, throughout the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, —words of peace and stability:
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 establish these days of the Purim, in their set times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined upon them, and according as they had enjoined upon their own soul, and upon their seed, —the story of the fastings and of their outcry.
32 Labsiin Asteeris seera waaʼee Furiim kana mirkaneesse; wanni kunis galmee keessatti barreeffame.
And, the command of Esther, confirmed the story of these Purim, —and it was written in a book.
