Esther 8
1 And in that day king Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochaeus was called by the king; for Esther had shown that he was related to her.
Chiengʼno ruoth Ahasuerus nomiyo Esta mwandu mag Haman, jasik jo-Yahudi. Kendo Modekai nobiro e nyim ruoth, nimar Esta nosenyise ni en watne.
2 And the king took the ring which he had taken away from Aman, and gave it to Mardochaeus: and Esther appointed Mardochaeus over all that had been Aman's.
Ruoth nogolo terene mane oyudo osegolo kuom Haman, mi nomiyo Modekai. Kendo Esta nokete mondo orit mwandu mane mag Haman.
3 And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and implored [him] to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.
Esta nochako ohombo ruoth mopodho e tiende koywak. Ne okwaye mondo oketh chenro marach mane Haman ja-Agag oseloso, mondo otimne jo-Yahudi.
4 Then the king stretched out to Esther the golden sceptre: and Esther arose to stand near the king.
Eka ruoth notingʼo ludhe mar dhahabu ne Esta bangʼe noa malo mochungʼ e nyim ruoth.
5 And Esther said, If it seem good to you, and I have found favour [in your sight], let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in your kingdom.
Nowacho niya, “Ka ber ne ruoth kendo ka ayudo ngʼwono e wangʼi kendo kiparo ni en gima ber timo kendo ka imor koda, to yie mondo igol chik mondiki maketho mano mane Haman wuod Hamedatha, ja-Agag oketo mondo otiek jo-Yahudi e gwenge duto ma ruoth orito.
6 For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my kindred?
Nimar ere kaka dalingʼ alingʼa ka aneno masira mabiro ne ogandana? Kata ere kaka dalingʼ alingʼa ka aneno ka idwaro tiek joodwa.”
7 And the king said to Esther, If I have given and freely granted you all that was Aman's, and hanged him on a gallows, because he laid his hands upon the Jews, what do you yet further seek?
Ruoth Ahasuerus nodwoko Esta ma mikache gi Modekai ma ja-Yahudi niya, Nikech Haman ne obuko jo-Yahudi ma ema omiyo asemiyo Esta mwandune, to en to osenege, kongʼawe e yath.
8 Write you also in my name, as it seems good to you, and seal [it] with my ring: for whatever [orders] are written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not lawful to gainsay them.
Koro ndik chik machielo gi nying ruoth kar jo-Yahudi kaka ineno ni berni, kendo iketie sei mar nying ruoth bangʼe ketie ranyisi mar tere mar ruoth, nimar gik moko duto mondiki e nying ruoth kendo oketie tere mar ruoth ok nyal loki kata kethi.
9 So the scribes were called in the first month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same year; and [orders] were written to the Jews, whatever [the king had] commanded to the local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the several provinces, according to their dialects.
Kuom mano, noluong jondiko mag ruoth chiengʼ tarik piero ariyo gadek dwe mar adek miluongo ni Sivan. Negindiko weche duto mane Modekai ochiko ne ondiki ne jo-Yahudi, askeche, jotelo, kod joka ruoth modak e pinje mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo kochakore e piny India nyaka chop Kush. Chikegi nondiki e dhok mar piny ka piny kata mana mar jo-Yahudi bende nondiki e dhogi giwegi.
10 And they were written by order of the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the posts:
Modekai nondiko gi teko mar ruoth Ahasuerus mokete sei gi tere mar ruoth bangʼe nooro barupego gi jongʼwech maringo matek koidho farese mag ruoth.
11 wherein he charged them to use their [own] laws in every city, and to help each other, and to treat their adversaries, and those who attacked them, as they pleased,
Chik mane ruoth ogolono noyiene jo-Yahudi man e mier madongo duto mondo giritre kendgi; kendo mondo giketh kendo ginegi mi gitieki joma obiro nigi gi gige lweny moa e oganda moro amora, kata gwengʼ moro momonjogi gi mondgi gi nyithindgi kendo gipe mwandu mag wasikgi.
12 on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is Adar.
Chiengʼ mane oyier ne jo-Yahudi mondo otimie magi e gwenge duto mag pinyruodh Ahasuerus ne en tarik apar gadek dwe mar apar gariyo dwe miluongo ni Adar.
13 And let the copies be posted in conspicuous places throughout the kingdom, and let all the Jews be ready against this day, to fight against their enemies.
Chikno nyaka landi e pinje duto kendo ne ogendini duto, mondo jo-Yahudi oikre ne chiengʼ chulo kuor ne wasikgi.
14 So the horsemen went forth with haste to perform the king's commands; and the ordinance was also published in Susa.
Joote mane oidho farese maka ruoth noringo matek kadhi kaluwore gi chik mane ruoth ogolo. Milomeno bende nogo e ohinga mar Susa.
15 And Mardochaeus went forth robed in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine purple linen: and the people in Susa saw [it] and rejoiced.
Modekai nowuok e nyim ruoth korwakore gi law marambulu mokikore gi rachar, osimbo mar duongʼ mar dhahabu, to gi kandho maralik molos law mayom. Kendo dala maduongʼ mar Susa notimo nyasi gi mor malich.
16 And the Jews had light and gladness,
To ne jo-Yahudi, ne en kinde mar mor, gi ilo kod pak.
17 in every city and province wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.
Kamoro amora e gwenge kendo e mier madongo kuonde mane barup ruoth oterie, jo-Yahudi nobedo gi mor ahinya kane giyweyo kendo gitimo nyasi. Joma ok jo-Yahudi nobedo ka jo-Yahudi nikech luoro mar jo-Yahudi nomakogi.
