1 Baruwa mar chik ruoth ne onego chak tich chiengʼ tarik apar gadek dwe mar apar gariyo miluongo ni Adar. Chiengʼ ma jowasik jo-Yahudi nogeno logie, wach nolokore mi jo-Yahudi ema koro noloyo jogo mane ochayogigo.
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it was turned out the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),
2 Jo-Yahudi nochokore e mier madongo e gwenge duto manie pinyruoth Ahasuerus mondo gimonj joma ne dwa tiekogi. Ne onge ngʼama ne nyalo chungʼ e nyimgi nikech ogendini mamoko duto noluorogi.
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Achashyerosh, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the people.
3 Kendo jodongo duto mag gwenge, gi askeche, gi jotelo, gi jorit chik mag ruoth nokonyo jo-Yahudi nikech negiluoro Modekai.
And all the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and those who did the king's business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
4 Modekai ne en ngʼama duongʼ e dala ruoth; humbe nolandore e gwenge duto kendo tekone ne osiko medore ameda.
For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.
5 Jo-Yahudi nogoyo jowasikgi duto ka ginegogi gi ligangla kendo negitiekogi, mine gitimo gima gihero ne joma ne ochayogi.
The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who hated them.

the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew's enemy, but they did not lay their hand on the plunder.
11 Kar romb ji mane onegi ei ohinga mar Susa noter ne ruoth e odiechiengʼno.
On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Shushan was brought before the king.
12 Ruoth nowachone Esta ma mikache niya, “Jo-Yahudi osenego ji mia abich motieko gi yawuot Haman apar ei ohinga mar Susa kende. To koro kare gisetimo angʼo e gwenge man e pinyruoth? Sani to koro angʼo kendo midwaro mondo atimni? Kwayoni en angʼo? Mano bende ibiro miyi.”
The king said to Esther the queen, "The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Shushan, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces. Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done."
13 Esta nodwoko niya, “Ka berni ruoth, to yie mondo jo-Yahudi man Susa kiny ochak otim gima gisetimo kawuononi kendo yie mondo ringre yawuot Haman apar-ka mondo olier e yath minegoe ji.”
Then Esther said, "If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows."
14 Eka ruoth nochiko mondo mano otimre ma chikno nogol e Susa, mine giliero ringre yawuot Haman apar-ka e yath.
The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
15 Jo-Yahudi man Susa nobiro kaachiel tarik apar gangʼwen dwe mar Adar, mine ginego ji mia adek e Susa, to ne ok giyako girgi mora amora.
The Jews who were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Shushan; but they did not lay their hand on the spoil.
16 E kindeno jo-Yahudi mamoko mane ni e gwenge mag pinyruoth bende nochokore mondo gisir kendo gigengʼ wasigu. Neginego ji moromo alufu piero abiriyo gabich, to ne ok giyako girgi moro amora.
The other Jews who were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hand on the plunder.
17 Mano notimore tarik apar gadek e dwe mar Adar, to tarik apar gangʼwen ne giyweyo ma giketo odiechiengno obedonegi odiechieng mor kod nyasi.
This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18 To jo-Yahudi modak Susa nochokore tarik apar gadek kod apar gangʼwen, to kane ochopo tarik apar gabich ne giyweyo mi odiechiengno nobedonegi odiechieng mor kod nyasi.
But the Jews who were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Mano ema omiyo jo-Yahudi modak e gwenge to moloyo modak e mier pod rito tarik apar gangʼwen mar dwe mar Adar kaka chiengʼ mor mar timo nyasi, kendo en odiechiengʼ ma gimiyoe ngʼato ka ngʼato mich.
Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a good day, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.
20 Modekai nondiko gigo mane otimore, nooro barupe ni jo-Yahudi duto e gwenge maboyo kod machiegni mane ni e bwo loch ruoth Ahasuerus,
Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the king Achashyerosh, both near and far,
21 kochikogi mondo gitim nyasini higa ka higa, tarik apar gangʼwen gi apar gabich mar dwe mar Adar,
to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,
22 nikech e kindego ema ne jo-Yahudi otony e lwet wasikgi kendo e dweno ema kuyo margi nolokore mor kendo ywakgi ne olokore nyiero. Kindego nyaka bed kinde mag timo nyasi mag mor ka gioro mich mag chiemo ne jowetegi kendo mich moko bende ne jomoko modhier.
as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.
23 Omiyo jo-Yahudi noyie dhi nyime gitimo nyasi mane gisechako timo ka gitimo gima Modekai nosendikonegi.
The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them;
24 Negitimo kamano nikech Haman wuod Hamedatha, ma ja-Agag, ma jasik jo-Yahudi duto, nosechano mondo otiek jo-Yahudi kogoyo ombulu (miluongo ni pur) mondo oneg-gi kendo otiekgi.
because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast "Pur," that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
25 To ka wach marachno nochopo ne ruoth, noketo mondo ondik chike moko mamiyo chenro maricho mane Haman ochano ne jo-Yahudi odog ne en owuon, kendo ni oliergi e yath, en kaachiel gi yawuote.
but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 (Emomiyo nochak odiechiengego ni Purim kaluwore gi nying ombulu miluongo ni pur.) Nikech gik moko duto mondiki e baruwani kendo nikech gik moko mane gineno kod mane otimorenegi,
Therefore they called these days "Purim," from the word "Pur." Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to them,
27 jo-Yahudi nokawo wachno ka margi mondo obed timgi ne gin giwegi to gi nyikwagi mabiro to gi ji duto madwaro riwore kodgi ni nyaka rit ndalo ariyogo higa ka higa, e yo moketi kendo e kinde moseketi.
the Jews established, and imposed on themselves, and on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to what was written, and according to its appointed time, every year;
28 Ndalogi onego par kendo riti e tienge duto mag dhoudi, e gwenge, kendo e mier madongo duto. Kendo ndalo Purim-gi mondo orit nyaka chiengʼ ma ok jo-Yahudi oweyo ma ok otimoe nyasi, bende wich kik wil kodgi e kind nyikwau.
and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memory of them perish among their descendants.
29 Omiyo Esta ma mikach ruoth ma nyar Abihail kod Modekai ma ja-Yahudi, nondiko gi teko kod chir mondo ojiw baruwa mar ariyo kuom wach Purim.
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 Kendo Modekai nooro barupe ne jo-Yahudi duto man e gwenge mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo mag pinyruodh Ahasuerus, barupego notingʼo weche mag miyo chunygi mor kod jiwo chunygi,
He sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Achashyerosh, with words of peace and truth,
31 mar chako loso ndalo mag Purim e kindegi mowinjore, mana kaka Modekai ma ja-Yahudi gi Esta ma mikach ruoth nosechikogi. Barupego bende ne omiyo jo-Yahudi gi nyikwagi chike moko moket kuom wach tweyo chiemo kendo kuom wach ywak.
to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.
32 Chik mane Esta ogolo nojiwo chike mag Purim, kendo nondikgi e kitabu.
The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
