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 was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of them to the king.
2 Kitabuno noyud kondikie ni Modekai ema nofwenyo kaka Bigthana gi Teresh, jotelo mane rito dhoranga ruoth, nosechano mondo oneg ruoth Ahasuerus.
[The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
3 Ruoth nopenjo niya, “Angʼo mosetim kimiyogo Modekai duongʼ kuom gima notimono?” Jotichne nodwoko niya, “Onge gima osetimne.”
The king asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything for him.”
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.
At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
5 Omiyo jotije nowachone niya, “Haman ema ochungʼ e laru.” Ruoth nogolo chik niya, “Kele ira ka.”
His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
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 I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
7 Omiyo nodwoko ruoth niya, “Ngʼama ruoth morgo mar miyo duongʼ,
So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
8 mondo okel lep ruoth mag duongʼ moserwako gi faras ma ruoth oseidho, man-gi osimbo mar joka ruoth kosidhne e wiye.
you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
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!’”
Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants 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.
The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you suggested!”
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!”
So Haman did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants to honor!”
12 Ka Modekai noseduogo e dhoranga ruoth. Haman to noreto kadok e ode, ka chunye opongʼ gi lit,
Then, Mordecai returned [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
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!”
He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
14 Kane pod giwuoyo kode, jotich ruoth mabwoch nochopo mapiyo mokawo Haman ka gitere mondo odhi e nyasi ma Esta noseloso.
And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther had prepared.
