1 Kane mirimb ruoth Ahasuerus noserumo, noparo gima ne Vashti otimo, to gi chik mane osegolo.
After these things, when the wrath of King Ahashuerosh was appeased, he remembred Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 To jotich matiyone ruoth nowachone niya, “Owinjore mondo odwar ne ruoth nyiri man-gi chia mapok ongʼeyo chwo.
And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, Let them seeke for the King beautifull yong virgins,
3 Kuom mano yier ji mondo odhi omany nyiri mabeyo e pinje duto manie bwo lochni, kendo gikelgi e dalani Susa mondo oketgi e lwet Hegai ma jatich ruoth mabwoch mane jarit mon; kendo mondo omigi modhi mag loso del mondo gibed maberie moloyo.
And let the King appoynt officers through all the prouinces of his kingdome, and let them gather all the beautiful yong virgins vnto the palace of Shushan, into the house of the women, vnder the hand of Hege the Kings eunuche, keeper of the women, to giue them their things for purification.
4 Bangʼe to owe nyako molombo wangʼ ruoth obed mikach ruoth kar Vashti.” Paroni ne ber ne ruoth mi notimo kamano.
And the mayde that shall please the King, let her reigne in the steade of Vashti. And this pleased the King, and he did so.
5 E dala mochiel mar Susa ne nitie ja-Yahudi moro ma ja-dhood Benjamin ma nyinge Modekai wuod Jair, ma wuod Shimei, wuod Kish,
In the citie of Shushan, there was a certaine Iewe, whose name was Mordecai the sonne of Iair, the sonne of Shimei, the sonne of Kish a man of Iemini,
6 mane ogol Jerusalem gi Nebukadneza ruoth Babulon, ma gin e joma ne oter e twech kaachiel gi Jehoyakin ruodh Juda.
Which had bene caryed away from Ierusalem with the captiuitie that was caryed away with Ieconiah King of Iudah (whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel had caryed away)
7 Modekai ne nigi nyamin, ma nyar owadgi wuon-gi ma nyinge ne Hadasa, mane opidho nikech ne en kich. Nyakoni ma bende ne ongʼere gi nying machielo ni Esta ne en jachia, kendo ne osekawe mobedo ka nyare, bangʼ tho wuon gi min.
And he nourished Hadassah, that is Ester, his vncles daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the mayde was fayre, and beautifull to looke on: and after the death of her father, and her mother, Mordecai tooke her for his own daughter
8 Kane chik ruoth kod lendone osetim, nyiri mangʼeny ne okel e dala mochiel mar Susa e od mon mi oketgi e lwet Hegai mondo oritgi. Esta bende ne okel moter e dala ruoth mokete kaachiel gi mon-go ka Hegai ritogi.
And when the Kings commandement, and his decree was published, and many maydes were brought together to the palace of Shushan, vnder the hand of Hege, Ester was brought also vnto the Kings house vnder the hande of Hege the keeper of the women.
9 Nyakono ne longʼo kendo noyudo ngʼwono e wangʼ Hegai. Nomiye modhi miwirruokgo gi chiemo mabeyo mana gisano. Nomiye nyiri abiriyo moyier moa e od ruoth bende ne ogole motere kama berie moloyo e od mon kanyo.
And the mayde pleased him, and she founde fauour in his sight: therefore he caused her things for purification to be giuen her speedily, and her state, and seuen comely maides to be giuer her out of the Kings house, and he gaue change to her and to her maydes of the best in the house of the women.
10 Esta ne pok onyiso ngʼato ni en nyar oganda mane, kata nonro mar anywolane, nikech Modekai ne osekwere ni kik onyis ngʼato wachno.
But Ester shewed not her people and her kinred: for Mordecai had charged her, that shee should not tell it.
11 Pile ka pile Modekai ne wuotho e dala kanyo machiegni gi koma ochiel ni mon mondo ongʼe kaka Esta dhi kod gik mane timorene.
Aud Mordecai walked euery day before the court of the womens house, to knowe if Ester did well, and what should be done with her.
12 Kane nyako moro amora pok oyudo thuolo mar dhi ir ruoth Ahasuerus, nimiye dweche apar gariyo mane owirore gi modhi maloso del mane oket ni mon-go mondo owirrego, dweche auchiel mokwongo ne imiyogi mo molos gi mane-mane mondo giwirrego, to dweche auchiel mamoko ne giwirore gi modhi moko mangʼwe ngʼar.
And when the course of euery mayd came, to go in to King Ahashuerosh, after that she had bene twelue moneths according to the maner of the women (for so were the dayes of their purifications accomplished, sixe moneths with oyle of myrrhe, and sixe moneths with sweete odours and in the purifying of the women:
13 Ma e kaka ne onego odhi ir ruoth: Gimoro amora modwaro lichorego kodhi e od ruoth ne imiye koa e od mon.
And thus went the maides vnto the King) whatsoeuer she required, was giuen her, to go with her out of the womens house vnto ye kings house.
14 Kane ochopo odhiambo ne odhi kuno to kochopo okinyi, to noduogo e od mon komachielo mirito gi Shashgaz, ma en bende ne en bwoch mane ruoth oketo mondo orit monde. Ne ok onyal dok ir ruoth makmana ka ruoth ne mor kode moluonge gi nyinge.
In the euening she went, and on the morow she returned into the second house of the women vnder the hand of Shaashgaz the Kings eunuche, which kept the concubines: shee came in to the King no more, except shee pleased the King, and that she were called by name.
15 Kane chiengʼ mane Esta onego dhi ir ruoth ochopo, ne ok okwayo gimoro mondo odhigo, makmana gik mane Hegai, jatich ruoth mabwoch mane rito mon, omiye. Esta ne en nyar Abihail, ma owadgi wuon Modekai, mane Modekai opidho kaka nyare. Ji duto mane oneno Esta ne mor kode.
Now when the course of Ester the daughter of Abihail the vncle of Mordecai (which had taken her as his owne daughter) came, that shee should go in to the King, she desired nothing, but what Hege the Kings eunuche the keeper of the women sayde: and Ester founde fauour in the sight of all them that looked vpon her.
16 Notere ir ruoth Ahasuerus e ot ma ruoth dakie e dwe mar apar miluongo ni Tebeth, e hike mar abiriyo mar lochne.
So Ester was taken vnto King Ahashuerosh into his house royall in the tenth moneth, which is the moneth Tebeth, in the seuenth yeere of his reigne.
17 Koro ruoth ne ohero Esta kendo chunye ne otwere kuome moloyo nyiri duto, nolombo wangʼ ruoth, kendo ruoth noyie kode moloyo nyiri mamoko. Mine osidhone osimbo mar duongʼ, mi okete obedo mikache kar Vashti.
And the King loued Ester aboue all the women, and shee founde grace and fauour in his sight more then all the virgins: so that he set the crowne of the kingdome vpon her head, and made her Queene instead of Vashti.
18 Ruoth noloso nyasi maduongʼ mirwakogo Esta, nolose ne jodonge gi jotelo duto, noloso chiengʼno mondo obed chiengʼ yweyo maonge tich e pinyruodhe duto ka ooro ni ji mich mabup.
Then the King made a great feast vnto all his princes, and his seruants, which was the feast of Ester, and gaue rest vnto the prouinces, and gaue gifts, according to the power of a King.
19 Kane ochak ochan nyiri mabeyogi kendo Modekai noyudo obet e dhoranga ruoth.
And whe the virgins were gathered ye second time, then Mordecai sate in the Kings gate.
20 To Esta ne pok owacho ne ngʼato angʼata nonro mar anywolane kata oganda mowuokie mana kaka ne Modekai osechike mondo otim, ne pod orito chik mane omiye gi Modekai mana kaka ne otimo kane pod odak kode kopidhe.
Ester had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people, as Mordecai had charged her: for Ester did after the worde of Mordecai, as when she was nourished with him.
21 Kane Modekai obet e dhoranga ruoth kaka nojabet, Bigthana gi Teresh, ariyo kuom jotend ruoth mane rito rangach, nokecho kendo negichano mondo gineg ruoth Ahasuerus.
In those dayes whe Mordecai sate in the Kings gate, two of the Kings eunuches, Bigthan and Teresh, which kept the doore, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the King Ahashuerosh.
22 To Modekai nofwenyo wachgino monyiso Esta ma mikach ruoth, mane otero wach ne ruoth konyiso ni Modekai ema owachone.
And the thing was knowen to Mordecai, and he tolde it vnto Queene Ester, and Ester certified the King thereof in Mordecais name:
23 Kane onon wachno moyud ni en adieri, jotelo ariyogo nolier e yath. Magi duto ne ondiki e kitap weche mag ruodhi mana ka ruoth neno.
and when inquisition was made, it was found so: therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the booke of the Chronicles before the King.
