1 Bangʼ ka gigi nosetimore, ruoth Ahasuerus nomiyo Haman wuod Hamedatha, ja-Agag duongʼ moloyo jodongo duto.

And after this king Artaxerxes highly honoured Aman [son] of Amadathes, the Bugaean, and exalted him, and set his seat above all his friends.

2 Jotich joka ruoth duto mane ni e rangach ne goyo chonggi piny ka gimiyo Haman duongʼ gi luor, nikech ruoth noseketo chik mondo otimne kamano. To Modekai to ne odagi goyone chonge piny kamiyego duongʼ.

And all in the palace did him obeisance, for so the king had given orders to do: but Mardochaeus did not do him obeisance.

3 Eka jotich joka ruoth mane ni e rangach nopenjo Modekai niya, “Angʼo momiyo idagi timo chik ma ruoth oketo?”

And they in the king's palace said to Mardochaeus, Mardochaeus, why do you transgress the commands of the king?

4 Pile ka pile ne giwuoyo kode, to nodagi timo kaka chik dwaro. Omiyo neginyiso Haman wachno mondo one anena kaka tim Modekai-ni inyalo yiego nimar nosewachonegi ni en ja-Yahudi.

[Thus] they spoke daily to him, but he listened not to them; so they represented to Aman that Mardochaeus resisted the commands of the king: and Mardochaeus had shown to them that he was a Jew.

5 Kane Haman oneno ni Modekai ok nyal goyone chonge piny kata miye luor, mirima nomake.

And when Aman understood that Mardochaeus did not obeisance to him, he was greatly enraged,

6 To kaka ne osengʼeyo oganda ma Modekai ae, ne ochayo wach nego mana Modekai kende. Kar timo mano, Haman nodwaro yo monyalo tiekogo oganda gi Modekai duto, ma gin jo-Yahudi, e pinyruodh Ahasuerus duto.

and took counsel to destroy utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.

7 E higa mar apar gariyo mar ruoth Ahasuerus, e dwe mokwongo, miluongo ni Nisan negigoyo ombulu (miluongo ni pur) e nyim Haman mondo giyier odiechiengʼ gi dwe. To ombulu nolwar e dwe mar apar gariyo dwe miluongo ni Adar.

And he made a decree in the twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, and cast lots daily and monthly, to kill in one day the race of Mardochaeus: and the lot fell on the fourteenth [day] of the month which is Adar.

8 Eka Haman nowachone ruoth Ahasuerus niya, “Nitie oganda moro moke e kind ogendini manie pinyruodhi ma timbegi opogore gi mag ogendini duto ma ok oluoro kata mana chike mag ruoth; omiyo ok en wach maber ka ruoth oweyogi aweya.

And he spoke to king Artaxerxes, saying, There is a nation scattered amongst the nations in all your kingdom, and their laws differ from [those of] all the [other] nations; and they disobey the laws of the king; and it is not expedient for the king to let them alone.

9 Ka ber ne ruoth to mondo ogol chik mondo otiekgi, an to abiro golo fedha maromo kilo alufu mia angʼwen mondo okete kar keno mar joka ruoth mondo ochul joma biro tiyo tijno.”

If it seem good to the king, let him make a decree to destroy them: and I will remit into the king's treasury ten thousand talents of silver.

10 Eka ruoth nogolo terene e lwete mi omiyo Haman wuod Hamedatha, ja-Agag, ma jawasik jo-Yahudi.

And the king took off his ring, and gave it into the hands of Aman, to seal the decrees against the Jews.

11 Ruoth nowachone Haman niya, “We golo pesani, to timne jogo gima in ema ihero.”

And the king said to Aman, Keep the silver, and treat the nation as you will.

12 Kane ochopo tarik apar gadek mar dwe mokwongo, noluong jogoro mag joka ruoth. Negindiko barupe madhi e piny ka piny kendo e dhok mar oganda ka oganda gik mane Haman ochiko mondo ondiki ne jotelo morito pinje mopogore opogore gi jodongo mag ogendini. Barupegi nondik gi nying ruoth Ahasuerus owuon mi ogo sei gi tere mar ruoth.

So the king's recorders were called in the first month, on the thirteenth [day], and they wrote as Aman commanded to the captains and governors in every province, from India even to Ethiopia, to a hundred and twenty-seven provinces; and to the rulers of the nations according to their [several] languages, in the name of king Artaxerxes.

13 Joote matero barupegi noor e pinje duto manie bwo loch ruoth kogolo chik ni jo-Yahudi duto nyaka negi matiek pep, bed ni gin jomatindo, joma oti, mon gi nyithindo matindo e odiechiengʼ achiel tarik apar gadek, dwe mar apar gariyo, miluongo ni Adar, kendo mondo oyak mwandugi.

And [the message] was sent by posts throughout the kingdom of Artaxerxes, to destroy utterly the race of the Jews on the first day of the twelfth month, which is Adar, and to plunder their goods.

14 Nondik wechegi moketgi kaka chik e pinje duto mondo oland ne ogendini gi dhout pinje mondo obed moikore ne chiengʼno.

And the copies of the letters were published in every province; and an order was given to all the nations to be ready against that day.

15 Kaluwore gi chik ruoth, jootego nowuok piyo piyo mine oket milomeno e ohinga mar dala Susa. Ruoth gi Haman nobet piny mondo omethi, to dala maduongʼ mar Susa nobwok kowinjo wachno.

And the business was hastened, and [that] at Susa: and the king and Aman began to drink; but the city was troubled.
