1 Bangʼ ka gigi nosetimore, ruoth Ahasuerus nomiyo Haman wuod Hamedatha, ja-Agag duongʼ moloyo jodongo duto.
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that [were] with him.
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 the king’s servants, that [were] in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did [him] reverence.
3 Eka jotich joka ruoth mane ni e rangach nopenjo Modekai niya, “Angʼo momiyo idagi timo chik ma ruoth oketo?”
Then the king’s servants, which [were] in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?
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.
Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he [was] a Jew.
5 Kane Haman oneno ni Modekai ok nyal goyone chonge piny kata miye luor, mirima nomake.
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
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 he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that [were] throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, [even] the people of Mordecai.
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.
In the first month, that [is], the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that [is], the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth [month], that [is], the month 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 Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws [are] diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it [is] not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
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 please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring [it] into the king’s treasuries.
10 Eka ruoth nogolo terene e lwete mi omiyo Haman wuod Hamedatha, ja-Agag, ma jawasik jo-Yahudi.
And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
11 Ruoth nowachone Haman niya, “We golo pesani, to timne jogo gima in ema ihero.”
And the king said unto Haman, The silver [is] given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
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.
Then were the king’s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors that [were] over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and [to] every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king’s ring.
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 letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, [even] upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and [to take] the spoil of them for a prey.
14 Nondik wechegi moketgi kaka chik e pinje duto mondo oland ne ogendini gi dhout pinje mondo obed moikore ne chiengʼno.
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should 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.
The posts went out, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
