1 Kuom mano, ruoth kod Haman nodhi chiemo gi Esta ma mikache,
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 to kane oyudo gimadho divai chiengʼ mar ariyono, ruoth nopenjo mikache ma Esta niya, “Kwayoni en angʼo? Kwaya akwaya ma kata ka en nus mar pinya to ibiro miyigo?”
And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
3 Eka Esta ma mikach ruoth nodwoko niya, “Ka ayudo ngʼwono e nyimi, yaye ruoth, kendo ka berni jaduongʼ, to yie ikony ngimana, ma e kwayona, kendo akwayi ni yie ikech ogandana. Mano e ywakna.
Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4 Nimar an kod ogandana osengʼiew-wa mondo otiekwa kendo onegwa nyaka warum chuth. Ka dabed ni ongʼiew-wa mondo wabed wasumbini machwo gi mamon kende, to dine alingʼ alingʼa, nikech mano ok en gima dine achandogo ruoth.”
for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s damage.
5 Ruoth Ahasuerus nopenjo Esta ma mikache niya, “En ngʼa? Ngʼatno ni kanye mosehedhore timo gima kamano?”
Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
6 Esta nowacho niya, “Jasadha ma jawasikwa en mana Haman ngʼat marach mobet butino.” Eka luoro maduongʼ nomako Haman e nyim ruoth gi mikache.
And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 Eka ruoth nochungʼ moweyo divai mane omadho ka mirima ohinge modhi oko e puoth joka ruoth. To Haman, kane oneno ni ruoth osengʼado buche kuom gima onego timne, nodongʼ chien kokwayo Esta mikach ruoth mondo ores ngimane.
And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine [and went] into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 E seche mane ruoth odwogo koa e puodho mar dala ruoth kane odonjo e ot mane itimoe nyasi, noyudo ka Haman osenindo e kom maduongʼ mane Esta obetie. Ruoth nowuoyo matek ka obwok mowacho niya, “Odwaro kata mana mako mikacha e wangʼa kaneno?” Kane ruoth pok otieko wuoyo, ne giumo wangʼ Haman.
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9 Eka Harbona, achiel kuom jotich ruoth mabwoch nowacho niya, “Gir nek ma borne oromo fut piero abiriyo gabich ochungʼ e bath od Haman. Noselose mondo oneg-go Modekai, ma wachne ne osekonyo ruoth.” Ruoth nowacho niya, “Kawuru gima nolosono mondo ulierego!”
Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 Omiyo neginego Haman e gima noseiko mondo oneg-go Modekai. Eka mirimb ruoth norumo.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
