1 Otienono nindo notamore tero ruoth; mi nochiko mondo okelne Kitabu mondikie weche mag ndalo, kendo mondikie gik mosetimore e kinde mag lochne, mondo okel kendo osomne.
That night the king wasn't able to sleep, so he ordered the Book of Records of the King's Reign brought in so it could be read to him.
2 Kitabuno noyud kondikie ni Modekai ema nofwenyo kaka Bigthana gi Teresh, jotelo mane rito dhoranga ruoth, nosechano mondo oneg ruoth Ahasuerus.
There he discovered the account of what Mordecai had reported about Bigthana and Teresh, the two king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers who had plotted to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 Ruoth nopenjo niya, “Angʼo mosetim kimiyogo Modekai duongʼ kuom gima notimono?” Jotichne nodwoko niya, “Onge gima osetimne.”
“What honor or position did Morcedai receive as a reward for doing this?” asked the king. “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king's attendants.
4 Eka ruoth nopenjo niya, “En ngʼa manie laru?” Noyudo ka koro eka Haman donjo e laru ma oko mar dala ruoth mondo owuo gi ruoth kuom wach mar nego Modekai kolier e gima noselosone.
“Who's here in the court?” the king asked. Haman had just happened to arrive in the outer court of the royal palace to ask the king to have Mordecai impaled on the pole he had set up for him.
5 Omiyo jotije nowachone niya, “Haman ema ochungʼ e laru.” Ruoth nogolo chik niya, “Kele ira ka.”
The king's attendants told him, “Haman is waiting in the court.” “Tell him to come in,” the king ordered.
6 Kane Haman osedonjo, ruoth nopenje niya, “Angʼo monego tim ne ngʼat ma ruoth dwaro miyo duongʼ?” Koro Haman noparo kende niya, “Ere ngʼama ruoth dimi duongʼ ma ok an?”
When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should be done for a man the king wants to honor?” Haman said to himself, “Who would the king want to honor except me?”
7 Omiyo nodwoko ruoth niya, “Ngʼama ruoth morgo mar miyo duongʼ,
So Haman said to the king, “A man whom the king wants to honor
8 mondo okel lep ruoth mag duongʼ moserwako gi faras ma ruoth oseidho, man-gi osimbo mar joka ruoth kosidhne e wiye.
should be brought royal robes the king has worn, a horse the king has ridden and which has a royal headdress on its head.
9 Eka mondo gikaw lawno gi faras mondo gimi jatelo mogen, kendo girwak ngʼat ma ruoth morgo mar miyo duongʼ, ka gitelo e nyim faras motingʼe e yore mag dala maduongʼ, kendo ka gigoyo milome e nyime ni, ‘Ma e kaka itimo ne ngʼama ruoth morgo mar miyo duongʼ!’”
Have the robes and the horse handed over to one of the king's highest officials and nobles. Let him make sure the man the king wishes to honor is dressed in the royal robes and that he rides on the horse through the city streets, and have the official announce before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!’”
10 Ruoth nochiko Haman kowacho niya, “Dhi piyo.” Kaw law gi faras mondo itim duto misewacho ne Modekai ma ja-Yahudi, mabetga e dhoranga ruoth. Kik iwe kata mana gimoro achiel kuom gik ma isewacho.
Then the king told Haman, “Right! Off you go! Quickly get the royal robes and the horse, and do just what you've said for Mordecai the Jew sitting at the palace gate. Don't leave out anything that you mentioned.”
11 Omiyo Haman nokawo law gi faras. Norwako ne Modekai lawno mokete oidho faras ka otelo nyime owuotho kode e yore mag dala maduongʼ ka owacho gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “Ma e kaka itimo ne ngʼat ma ruoth morgo mar miyo duongʼ!”
Haman went and got the robes and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and placed him on the horse, and led him through the streets of the city, shouting before him, “This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!”
12 Ka Modekai noseduogo e dhoranga ruoth. Haman to noreto kadok e ode, ka chunye opongʼ gi lit,
Mordecai went back to the palace gate, but Haman rushed home, crying and covering his head in shame.
13 kendo nonyiso Zeresh ma chiege gi osiepene duto gik moko duto mane otimorene. Joma ngʼadone rieko gi Zeresh ma chiege nowachone niya, “Mano kaka rumo mari osechakore e nyim Modekai ma to en ja-Yahudi, ok ininyale kendo adier obiro miyo irum chuth!”
Haman explained to his wife Zeresh and all his friends what had happened to him. These wise friends and his wife Zeresh told him, “If Mordecai is one of the Jewish people, and you have already begun to lose status before him—you won't be able to beat him! You're going to lose to him, you're going to fall!”
14 Kane pod giwuoyo kode, jotich ruoth mabwoch nochopo mapiyo mokawo Haman ka gitere mondo odhi e nyasi ma Esta noseloso.
While they were still talking to him, the king's eunuchs arrived and quickly took Haman to the dinner which Esther had prepared.
