1 Kane mirimb ruoth Ahasuerus noserumo, noparo gima ne Vashti otimo, to gi chik mane osegolo.
After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered 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.
Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
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 appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that young virgins unto Shushan the palace, they may gather together all the fair to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
4 Bangʼe to owe nyako molombo wangʼ ruoth obed mikach ruoth kar Vashti.” Paroni ne ber ne ruoth mi notimo kamano.
and let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing 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,
There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
6 mane ogol Jerusalem gi Nebukadneza ruoth Babulon, ma gin e joma ne oter e twech kaachiel gi Jehoyakin ruodh Juda.
who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar he king of Babylon had carried 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 brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took 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.
So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, 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 maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king’s house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of 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.
Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew 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.
And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of 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.
Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women, twelve months, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, [to wit], six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with the things for 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.
then in this wise came the maiden unto the king, whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s 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 evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, 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 turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon 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 Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
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 loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen 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 unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.
19 Kane ochak ochan nyiri mabeyogi kendo Modekai noyudo obet e dhoranga ruoth.
And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king’s 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.
Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up 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 days, while Mordecai sat in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
22 To Modekai nofwenyo wachgino monyiso Esta ma mikach ruoth, mane otero wach ne ruoth konyiso ni Modekai ema owachone.
And the thing was known to Mordecai, who shewed it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king [thereof] in Mordecai’s 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 of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
