Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman went to dine with Esther the queen,
Kuom mano, ruoth kod Haman nodhi chiemo gi Esta ma mikache,
2 and as they drank their wine on that second day, the king asked once more, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
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?”
3 Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, grant me my life as my petition, and the lives of my people as my request.
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.
4 For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as menservants and maidservants, I would have remained silent, because no such distress would justify burdening the king.”
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.”
5 Then King Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”
Ruoth Ahasuerus nopenjo Esta ma mikache niya, “En ngʼa? Ngʼatno ni kanye mosehedhore timo gima kamano?”
6 Esther replied, “The adversary and enemy is this wicked man—Haman!” And Haman stood in terror before the king and queen.
Esta nowacho niya, “Jasadha ma jawasikwa en mana Haman ngʼat marach mobet butino.” Eka luoro maduongʼ nomako Haman e nyim ruoth gi mikache.
7 In his fury, the king arose from drinking his wine and went to the palace garden, while Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king was planning a terrible fate for him.
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.
8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
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.
9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said: “There is a gallows fifty cubits high at Haman’s house. He had it built for Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the king.” “Hang him on it!” declared the king.
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!”
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided.
Omiyo neginego Haman e gima noseiko mondo oneg-go Modekai. Eka mirimb ruoth norumo.
