Esther 4
1 And when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his garments, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried 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 came even before the king's gate; for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
To nodhi mana nyaka e dhoranga ruoth nikech ne ok oyiene ngʼat morwako pien gugru mondo odonji.
3 And in every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing: many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
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 maids and her chamberlains came and told [it] her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him; but he received [it] not.
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 called for Hatach, [one] of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to wait upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it 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 And Hatach went forth to Mordecai, unto the public place of the city which was before the king's gate.
Omiyo Hathak nowuok modhi ir Modekai e paw dala maduongʼ mane ni e nyim dhoranga ruoth.
7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and of the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
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 a copy of the writing of the decree that had been given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew [it] to Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him, 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 Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Hathak nodok ir Esta monyise weche mane Modekai owacho.
10 And Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai:
Eka nonyiso ngʼatno mondo owach ne Modekai niya,
11 All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces do know that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law, to put [him] to death, except [such] to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live; and I have not been called to come in unto 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 told Mordecai Esther's words.
Kane onyis Modekai weche mane Esta owacho,
13 And Mordecai bade to answer Esther: Imagine not in thy heart that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
nodwoko kowacho niya, “Kik ipar ni in kendi ema inikwo e dhood jo-Yahudi duto nikech in e od ruoth.
14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there arise relief and deliverance to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall perish. And who knows whether thou art [not] come to the kingdom 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 And Esther bade to answer Mordecai:
Eka Esta nooro dwoko ne Modekai kama:
16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise, and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.
“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 And Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Omiyo Modekai nodhi motimo duto mane Esta ochiko mondo otim.
