Esther 4
1 Now when Mordecai saw what was done, pulling off his robe, he put on haircloth, with dust on his head, and went out into the middle of the town, crying out with a loud and bitter cry.
Kane Modekai owinjo gigo duto mane osetimore, noyiecho lepe morwako pien gugru mobukore gi buru, kodhi e dala maduongʼ koywak kendo kogoyo nduru matek ka chunye lit.
2 And he came even before the king's doorway; for no one might come inside the king's door clothed in haircloth.
To nodhi mana nyaka e dhoranga ruoth nikech ne ok oyiene ngʼat morwako pien gugru mondo odonji.
3 And in every part of the kingdom, wherever the king's word and his order came, there was great sorrow among the Jews, and weeping and crying and going without food; and numbers of them were stretched on the earth covered with dust and haircloth.
E piny ka piny mane wach ruoth ochopoe, kuyo nomako jo-Yahudi, ka gitweyo chiemo, ka giywak kendo ka gidengo. Thothgi nonindo e piende gugru ka gibukore gi buru.
4 And Esther's women and her servants came and gave her word of it. Then great was the grief of the queen: and she sent robes for Mordecai, so that his clothing of haircloth might be taken off; but he would not have them.
Kane jotich Esta ma nyiri gi mago machwo mabwoch okelone wach mar Modekai nokuyo ahinya. Noorone lewni mondo orwaki kar rwako pien gugru, to notamore kawogi.
5 Then Esther sent for Hathach, one of the king's unsexed servants whom he had given her for waiting on her, and she gave him orders to go to Mordecai and see what this was and why it was.
Eka Esta noluongo Hathak, achiel kuom jotich ruoth mabwoch manoketi mondo otine, noore ir Modekai mondo onone kuom gima chande.
6 So Hathach went out and saw Mordecai in the open square of the town before the king's doorway.
Omiyo Hathak nowuok modhi ir Modekai e paw dala maduongʼ mane ni e nyim dhoranga ruoth.
7 And Mordecai gave him an account of what had taken place, and of the amount of money which Haman had said he would put into the king's store for the destruction of the Jews.
Modekai nonyise gik moko duto mosetimorene, nonyise koda kar romb pesa ma Haman nosesingore nodhi chulo e kar keno mar joka ruoth mondo otiekgo jo-Yahudi.
8 And he gave him the copy of the order which had been given out in Shushan for their destruction, ordering him to let Esther see it, and to make it clear to her; and to say to her that she was to go in to the king, requesting his mercy, and making prayer for her people.
Nomiye kalatas mondikie weche mag tiekogi ma nondiki e dala mar Susa, mondo onyis Esta kendo olerne weche mondikgo, nowachone ni mondo okwaye mondo odhi e nyim ruoth kendo ohomb ruoth ongʼwon ne ogandane.
9 And Hathach came back and gave Esther an account of what Mordecai had said.
Hathak nodok ir Esta monyise weche mane Modekai owacho.
10 Then Esther sent Hathach to say to Mordecai:
Eka nonyiso ngʼatno mondo owach ne Modekai niya,
11 It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only those to whom the king's rod of gold is stretched out may keep their lives: but I have not been sent for to come before the king these thirty days.
“Jotelo duto mag ruoth to gi ji duto moa e gwenge mag pinyruoth, ongʼeyo ni onge ngʼato angʼata madichwo kata ma dhako manyalo donjo ir ruoth e laru maiye ka ok ruoth ema oluonge to oket chik achiel kende ni nyaka nege. Makmana ka ruoth orieyo ludhe mar dhahabu kochomo ngʼatno eka ok nonege. Koro to osekawo ndalo piero adek kapok ruoth oluonga.”
12 And they said these words to Mordecai.
Kane onyis Modekai weche mane Esta owacho,
13 Then Mordecai sent this answer back to Esther: Do not have the idea that you in the king's house will be safe from the fate of all the Jews.
nodwoko kowacho niya, “Kik ipar ni in kendi ema inikwo e dhood jo-Yahudi duto nikech in e od ruoth.
14 If at this time you say nothing, then help and salvation will come to the Jews from some other place, but you and your father's family will come to destruction: and who is to say that you have not come to the kingdom even for such a time as this?
To nikech ka ilingʼ e kinde ma kama, to jo-Yahudi noyud resruok e yo moro machielo, to in kod jood wuonu notieku. To ngʼama dingʼe ni ne ibiro e od ruoth e sa ma kama mana ni mondo ikonywa?”
15 Then Esther sent them back to Mordecai with this answer:
Eka Esta nooro dwoko ne Modekai kama:
16 Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to be my fate, then let it come.
“Dhi ichok jo-Yahudi duto man Susa, mondo utwe chiemo kulemona. Kik uchiem kata metho kuom ndalo adek otieno gi odiechiengʼ. An gi nyiri matiyona bende wabiro tweyo chiemo kendo metho mana kaka un. Ka usetimo kamano, to abiro dhi ir ruoth, kata obedo ni chik ok oyie kamano. Ka ochuno ni nyaka atho, to anatho.”
17 So Mordecai went away and did everything as Esther had said.
Omiyo Modekai nodhi motimo duto mane Esta ochiko mondo otim.
