< Esther 6 >

1 That night the king was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of them to the king.
Halkan sana mootichi rafuu hin dandeenye; kanaafuu inni akka isaan kitaaba seenaa kan waaʼee mootummaa isaa barreeffame isaaf dubbisan ni ajaje.
2 [The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
Kitaaba sana keessattis Mordekaayi akka Bigtaanaa fi Tereshi xuʼaashiiwwan balbala eegan kanneen Ahashweroos Mooticha ajjeesuuf mariʼatan sana lamaan saaxilee ture barreeffamee argame.
3 The king asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything for him.”
Mootichis, “Yoos Mordekaayi sababii waan kanaatiif ulfina yookaan kabaja maalii argate ree?” jedhee gaafate. Tajaajiltoonni isaa immoo, “Wanni tokko iyyuu hin godhamneef” jedhanii deebisan.
4 At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
Mootichis, “Eenyutu oobdii kana keessa jira?” jedhee gaafate. Yeroo sana Haamaan waaʼee Mordekaayiin muka dhaabe sana irratti fannisuu mootichatti himuuf jedhee oobdii masaraa mootummaa isa gara alaa seenee ture.
5 His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
Tajaajiltoonni mootichaa, “Haamaanitu oobdii keessa dhaabatee jira” jedhanii deebisan. Mootichis, “Isa ol galchaa” jedhee ajaje.
6 When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
Mootichis yeroo Haamaan ol galetti, “Nama mootichi kabajuu barbaaduuf maaltu godhamuufii qaba?” jedhee isa gaafate. Haamaanis, “Namni mootichi na caalchisee kabaju eenyu?” jedhee ofi keessatti yaade.
7 So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
Kanaafuu Haamaan akkana jedhee mootichaaf deebise; “Nama mootichi kabajuu jaallatuuf,
8 you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
uffata mootummaa kan mootichi uffatuu fi farda mootummaa kan mootichi yaabbatu haa fidan; fardi gonfoon mootii mataatti kaaʼameef haa dhufuuf.
9 Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants to honor!’”
Ergasii uffannii fi fardi sun qondaaltota mootichaa kanneen qondaaltota hunda caalaa beekamoo taʼan keessaa isa tokkotti imaanaan haa kennamuuf; isaan immoo nama mootichi ulfina kennuufii barbaadu sanatti uffata sana haa uffisan; farda yaabbachiisaniis, ‘Wanni nama mootichi ulfina kennuufii barbaaduuf godhamu kana!’ jedhanii labsaa daandiiwwan magaalattii irra fuula isaa dura haa deeman.”
10 The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you suggested!”
Mootichis akkana jedhee Haamaanin ajaje; “Dafii dhaqii uffataa fi farda sana fuudhiitii akkuma jette sana Mordekaayi Yihuudicha karra mootii dura taaʼu sanaaf godhi. Waan jette sana keessaa tokko illee hin hambisin.”
11 So Haman did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants to honor!”
Kanaafuu Haamaan dhaqee uffataa fi farda sana fuudhe. Innis uffata sana Mordekaayiitti uffisee fardas yaabbachiisee, “Wanni nama mootichi ulfina kennuufii barbaaduuf godhamu kanaa dha!” jedhee labsaa daandii magaalaa irra fuula isaa dura deeme.
12 Then, Mordecai returned [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
Ergasii Mordekaayi gara karra mootichaatti deebiʼe. Haamaan garuu gaddaan mataa haguuggatee ariitiidhaan manatti gale;
13 He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
waan isa irra gaʼe hundas niitii isaa Zeresh fi michoota isaa hundatti hime. Gorsitoonni isaatii fi niitiin isaa Zosaaraan, “Sababii Mordekaayi inni kufaatiin kee fuula isaa duratti jalqabe sun sanyii Yihuudaa taʼeef ati isaan mormuu hin dandeessu; ati dhugumaan ni badda!” jedhaniin.
14 And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther had prepared.
Utuma isaan isa wajjin dubbachaa jiranuu xuʼaashiiwwan mootichaa dhufanii gara cidha Asteer qopheessitee turte sanaatti Haamaan ariifachiisan.
