< Esther 7 >

1 And so the king and Haman entered to drink with the queen.
Kuom mano, ruoth kod Haman nodhi chiemo gi Esta ma mikache,
2 And the king said to her again on the second day, after he was warmed with wine, “What is your request, Esther, so that it may be given to you? And what do you want done? Even if you ask for half of my kingdom, you will obtain it.”
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 She answered him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if it pleases you, spare my soul, I ask you, and spare my people, I beg you.
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 I and my people have been handed over to be crushed, to be slain, and to perish. And if we were only being sold as servants and slaves, the evil might be tolerable, and I would have mourned in silence. But now our enemy is one whose cruelty overflows upon 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 And king Artaxerxes answered and said, “Who is this, and of what power, that he would dare to do these things?”
Ruoth Ahasuerus nopenjo Esta ma mikache niya, “En ngʼa? Ngʼatno ni kanye mosehedhore timo gima kamano?”
6 And Esther said, “This is our most wicked enemy and foe: Haman!” Hearing this, Haman was suddenly dumbfounded, unable to bear the faces of the king and the 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 But the king, being angry, rose up and, from the place of the feast, entered into the arboretum of the garden. Haman likewise rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his soul, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king.
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 When the king returned from the arboretum of the garden and entered into the place of the feast, he found Haman collapsed on the couch on which Esther lay, and he said, “And now he wishes to oppress the queen, in my presence, in my house!” The word had not yet gone out of the king’s mouth, and immediately they covered his 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 And Harbona, one of the eunuchs who stood in ministry to the king, said, “Behold the wood, which he had prepared for Mordecai, who spoke up on behalf of the king, stands in Haman’s house, having a height of fifty cubits.” The king said to him, “Hang him from it.”
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 And so Haman was hanged on the gallows, which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king’s anger was quieted.
Omiyo neginego Haman e gima noseiko mondo oneg-go Modekai. Eka mirimb ruoth norumo.
