Esther 9
1 For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.
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.
2 In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.
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.
3 For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of Mardochaeus lay upon them.
Kendo jodongo duto mag gwenge, gi askeche, gi jotelo, gi jorit chik mag ruoth nokonyo jo-Yahudi nikech negiluoro Modekai.
4 For the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.
Modekai ne en ngʼama duongʼ e dala ruoth; humbe nolandore e gwenge duto kendo tekone ne osiko medore ameda.
Jo-Yahudi nogoyo jowasikgi duto ka ginegogi gi ligangla kendo negitiekogi, mine gitimo gima gihero ne joma ne ochayogi.
6 And in the city Susa the Jews killed five hundred men:
To e ohinga mar Susa, jo-Yahudi nonego motieko ji mia abich.
7 both Pharsannes, and Delphon and Phasga,
Bende neginego Parshandatha, Dalfon, Aspatha,
8 and Pharadatha, and Barea, and Sarbaca,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 and Marmasima, and Ruphaeus, and Arsaeus, and Zabuthaeus,
Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, to gi Vaizatha,
10 the ten sons of Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugaean, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered [their property] on the same day:
mane gin yawuowi apar mag Haman wuod Hamedatha, jawasik jo-Yahudi. To jo-Yahudi ne ok oyako gimoro amora.
11 and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered to the king.
Kar romb ji mane onegi ei ohinga mar Susa noter ne ruoth e odiechiengʼno.
12 And the king said to Esther, The Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, think you, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then do you yet ask, that it may be [done] for you?
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.”
13 And Esther said to the king, let it be granted to the Jews so to treat them tomorrow as to hand the ten sons of Aman.
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.”
14 And he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.
Eka ruoth nochiko mondo mano otimre ma chikno nogol e Susa, mine giliero ringre yawuot Haman apar-ka e yath.
15 And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth [day] of Adar, and killed three hundred men, but plundered no property.
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.
16 And the rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth [day] of Adar, but took no spoil.
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.
17 And they rested on the fourteenth of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.
Mano notimore tarik apar gadek e dwe mar Adar, to tarik apar gangʼwen ne giyweyo ma giketo odiechiengno obedonegi odiechieng mor kod nyasi.
18 And the Jews in the city Susa assembled also on the fourteenth [day] and rested; and they kept also the fifteenth with joy and gladness.
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.
19 On this account then [it is that] the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar [as] a holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbour.
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.
20 And Mardochaeus wrote these things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar off,
Modekai nondiko gigo mane otimore, nooro barupe ni jo-Yahudi duto e gwenge maboyo kod machiegni mane ni e bwo loch ruoth Ahasuerus,
21 to establish these [as] joyful days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;
kochikogi mondo gitim nyasini higa ka higa, tarik apar gangʼwen gi apar gabich mar dwe mar Adar,
22 for on these days the Jews obtained rest from their enemies; and [as to] the month, which was Adar, in which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow to a good day, to spend the whole of it [in] good days of feasting and gladness, sending portions to their friends, and to the poor.
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.
23 And the Jews consented [to this] accordingly as Mardochaeus wrote to them,
Omiyo jo-Yahudi noyie dhi nyime gitimo nyasi mane gisechako timo ka gitimo gima Modekai nosendikonegi.
24 [showing] how Aman the son of Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and cast lots to destroy them utterly;
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.
25 also how he went in to the king, telling [him] to hang Mardochaeus: but all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.
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.
26 Therefore these days were called Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phrurae; ) because of the words of this letter, and [because of] all they suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.
(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,
27 And [Mardochaeus] established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them [to observe it], neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days [were to be] a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.
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.
28 And these days of the Phrurae, [said they, ]shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.
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.
29 And queen Esther, the daughter of Aminadab, and Mardochaeus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the confirmation of the letter of Phrurae.
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.
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,
31 And Mardochaeus and Esther the queen appointed [a fast] for themselves privately, even at that time also having formed their plan against their own health.
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.
32 And Esther established it by a command for ever, and it was written for a memorial.
Chik mane Esta ogolo nojiwo chike mag Purim, kendo nondikgi e kitabu.
