1 Kuom mano, ruoth kod Haman nodhi chiemo gi Esta ma mikache,
So the king and Haman came in, 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?”
Then said the king unto Esther, on the second day also, during the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, Queen Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy request—unto the half of the kingdom—that it may 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 answered Esther the queen, and said, If I have found favour in thine eyes, O king, and if, unto the king, it seem good, let my life be granted me, as my petition, and my people, as 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 be caused to perish. If indeed, for bondmen and for bondwomen, we had been sold, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have made good the damage to the king.
5 Ruoth Ahasuerus nopenjo Esta ma mikache niya, “En ngʼa? Ngʼatno ni kanye mosehedhore timo gima kamano?”
Then spake King Ahasuerus, and said unto Esther the queen, —Who is he now, and where is he, whose heart is set to act thus?
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, A man who is an adversary and enemy, this wicked Haman. And, Haman, was terrified, 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.
Now, the king, arising in his wrath from the banquet of wine, and going into the palace garden, Haman, stood to make request for his life from Esther the queen, for he saw that ruin, was 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.
When, the king, returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine, Haman, was lying prostrate upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he, even dare to force the queen, while I am in the house? No sooner had the word gone forth out of the mouth of the king, than, the face of Haman, they had covered.
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 eunuchs before the king—Yea lo! the gallows that Haman made ready for Mordecai, who had spoken well for the king, is standing in Haman’s house, of a height of fifty cubits. Then said the king, 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 which he had prepared for Mordecai, —and, the wrath of the king, was appeased.
