1 Ma e gima notimore e ndalo loch Ahasuerus, e kinde mane orito pinje mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo chakre India nyaka Kush.
And it came to pass, in the days of Ahasuerus, —the same, Ahasuerus that reigned from India even unto Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces:
2 E kindeno ruoth Ahasuerus norito loch Kodak e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno mar Susa,
in those days, —when King Ahasuerus was sitting on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shusan the palace;
3 to e higa mar adek mar lochne noloso sawo ne jodonge gi jotije duto gi jotend lweny man Pasia gi Media gi joka ruoth, gi jodongo duto mag pinje bende ne nitie.
in the third year of his reign, he made a banquet unto all his rulers, and his servants, —the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and the rulers being before him;
4 Kuom ndalo mia achiel gi piero aboro nonyisogi mwandu mathoth mag pinyruodhe gi ber kod teko miwuoro mar lochne.
when he showed the riches of the glory of his kingdom, and the splendour of his excellent majesty, many days, a hundred and eighty days;
5 Ka ndalogo noserumo, ruoth notimo sawo ni ji duto mane odak e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno mar Susa. Sawono notim e siwandha mar dala ruoth kendo nokawo ndalo abiriyo.
that, when these days were fulfilled, the king made—for all the people that were present in Shusan the palace, both for great and small—a banquet, seven days, —in the court of the garden of the palace of the king:
6 E siwandhano ne nitie pasia marachar gi marambulu molier kotwe gi tonde momin gi lewni marochere gi maralik kolier e bonje mar fedha manotwe e sirni mapakni. Kombego nolos gi dhahabu gi fedha kendo siwandhano nobug gi kite mopogore opogore ma nengogi tek ma kitgi opogore opogore.
white stuff, cotton and blue, being held fast with cords of fine linen and purple, upon rods of silver, and pillars of white marble, —the couches being of gold and silver, upon a pavement of alabaster and white marble, and pearl and black marble.
7 Ji ne madho divai gi kikombe mopogore opogore kendo divai ne ngʼeny mana ka mar ruoth adier nikech ne chunye ngʼwon.
And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, vessels, from vessels, being diverse, —even the wine of the kingdom in abundance, by the bounty of the king.
8 Ruoth nogolo chik ni mondo oyiene ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo omadh gima odwaro, nimar ruoth nosegolo chik ne jotich mapogo divai ni mondo omi ngʼato ka ngʼato math modwaro.
And, the drinking, was according to the law, no one compelling, —for, so, had the king appointed unto every chief of his household, that every man, should do according to his pleasure.
9 Vashti mikach ruoth bende ne oloso sawo ne mon modak e dala ruoth Ahasuerus.
Also Vashti the queen, made a banquet for the women, —in the royal house which belonged to King Ahasuerus.
10 Chiengʼ mar abiriyo kane divai oromo ruoth Ahasuerus nochiko jotichne mabwoch abiriyo magin Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar gi Karkas,
On the seventh day, when merry was the heart of the king with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who were waiting before King Ahasuerus, —
11 mondo okel Vashti ma mikache ire ka orwako osimbo mar mikach ruoth, kendo mondo onyis ji to gi jotelo kaka ojaber, nikech nober neno.
to bring in Vashti the queen, with the royal crown, —to show the peoples and the rulers her beauty, for, of pleasing appearance, was she.
12 To ka joote notero wach ma ruoth nochiko, Vashti ma mikach ruoth notamore dhi. Eka ruoth nobedo makwiny kendo iye nowangʼ ahinya.
But Queen Vashti refused to come in at the command of the king, which was given through the eunuchs, —and the king was exceeding wroth, and, his anger, burned within him.
13 Kaka ne en timgi mondo ruoth openj wach kuom joma olony e weche mag chike gi kaka ingʼado bura kare, nowuoyo gi joma riek, manongʼeyo weche mag ndalo,
Then said the king unto the wise men having knowledge of the times, —for, so, was the manner of the king before all having knowledge of law and judgment;
14 bende ne gin joma ruoth ogeno ahinya mane bet machiegni kode kaka Karshena, Shetha, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena gi Memukan, mane gin jodongo abiriyo mag Pasia gi Media mane nyalo donjo ir ruoth e sa asaya bende ne gin joma oluor kendo ogen e pinyruoth.
and, near unto him, were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memucan, —the seven rulers of Persia and Media, who used to behold the face of the king, who sat first, in the kingdom—
15 Nopenjogi niya, “Kaluwore gi chik, angʼo monego timne Vashti ma mikacha? Nikech osedagi winjo chik mar ruoth Ahasuerus mane oorogo jotichne mabwoch ire.”
According to law, what ought to be done, with Queen Vashti, —for that she hath not performed the command of King Ahasuerus, through the eunuchs?
16 Eka Memukan nodwoko wach e nyim ruoth gi jotelo niya, “Vashti mikach ruoth osetimo tim marach ne jotelo gi ji duto man e gwenge man e bwo loch ruoth Ahasuerus.
Then said Memucan before the king and the rulers, Not against the king alone, hath Vashti the queen acted perversely, —but against all the rulers, and against all the peoples, who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.
17 Nimar tim ma mikach ruoth otimoni, ka mon mamoko ongʼeyo, to gibiro chayo chwogi kagiwacho ni, ‘Ruoth Ahasuerus nochiko mikache ma Vashti mondo okel e nyime, to nodagi biro.’
For the report of the queen, will go forth, unto all women, so putting contempt upon their lords, in their eyes, —when it is reported to them, King Ahasuerus, commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
18 Kata mana kawuononi mond jodong Pasia gi Media ma owinjo tim ma mikachi otimo biro mana timo ne jodong ruoth tim machal gi mano. Achaya gi ich wangʼ biro dhi nyime maonge gikone.
And, this day, shall the ladies of Persia and Media, who have heard the report of the queen, tell it, unto all the lords of the king, —with enough of contempt and wrath.
19 “Emomiyo, ka ber ne ruoth to mondo ogol chik maka ruoth kendo mondo ondiki wachni e chike mag Pasia gi Media, mosiko ma ok nyal gol ni Vashti kik chak bi e nyim ruoth Ahasuerus kendo. Bende ruoth onego ket ngʼato kare malongʼo man-gi chia moloye.
If, unto the king, it seem good, let there go forth a royal declaration from before him, and let it be written among the laws of Persia and Media, so that it shall not pass away, —That Vashti, is not to come in, before King Ahasuerus, and, her royal estate, let the king give unto her neighbour, who is better than she.
20 Eka chik ma ruoth ogolono nolandre pinye duto, kendo mon duto biro luoro chwogi, maonge modongʼ.”
When the edict of the king which he shall make, is published throughout all his kingdom, for, great, it is, then, all wives, will give honour unto their lords, both great and small.
21 Ruoth gi jodonge ne mor gi rieko mane ongʼadni, eka ruoth notimo kaka Memukan nowacho.
And the thing seemed good in the eyes of the king, and the rulers, —and the king did according to the word of Memucan.
22 Nooro baruwa moketoe sei mare ni pinjeruodhi duto, moro ka moro nondikne gi dhogi giwegi kanyisogi malongʼo e dhok ma giwinjo ni chwo duto obed gi teko mar rito miechgi gi joma odak e miechgigo.
So he sent letters, into all the provinces of the king, into every province according to she writing thereof, and unto every people according to their tongue, —That every man should he ruler in his own house, and issue his commands, according to the tongue of his people.
