< Esther 4 >

1 Now when Mordecai perceiued all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackecloth and ashes, and went out into the middes of the citie, and cryed with a great crye, and a bitter.
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 euen before the Kings gate, but he might not enter within the Kings gate, being clothed with sackecloth.
To nodhi mana nyaka e dhoranga ruoth nikech ne ok oyiene ngʼat morwako pien gugru mondo odonji.
3 And in euery prouince, and place, whither the Kings charge and his commission came, there was great sorowe among the Iewes, and fasting, and weeping and mourning, and many laye in sackecloth and in 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 Then Esters maydes and her eunuches came and tolde it her: therefore the Queene was very heauie, and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackecloth from him, but he receiued 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 called Ester Hatach one of the Kings eunuches, whom he had appointed to serue her, and gaue him a commandement vnto Mordecai, to knowe 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 So Hatach went foorth to Mordecai vnto the streete of the citie, which was before the Kings gate.
Omiyo Hathak nowuok modhi ir Modekai e paw dala maduongʼ mane ni e nyim dhoranga ruoth.
7 And Mordecai tolde him of all that which had come vnto him, and of the summe of the siluer that Haman had promised to pay vnto the Kings treasures, because of the Iewes, for 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 Also he gaue him the copy of the writing and commission that was giuen at Shushan, to destroy them, that he might shewe it vnto Ester and declare it vnto her, and to charge her that she should goe in to the King, and make petition and supplication 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 So when Hatach came, he told Ester the wordes of Mordecai.
Hathak nodok ir Esta monyise weche mane Modekai owacho.
10 Then Ester sayde vnto Hatach, and commanded him to say vnto Mordecai,
Eka nonyiso ngʼatno mondo owach ne Modekai niya,
11 All the Kings seruants and the people of the Kings prouinces doe knowe, that whosoeuer, man or woman, that commeth to the King into the inner court, which is not called, there is a law of his, that he shall dye, except him to whom the King holdeth out the golden rodde, that he may liue. Now I haue not bene called to come vnto the King these thirtie dayes.
“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 certified Mordecai of Esters wordes.
Kane onyis Modekai weche mane Esta owacho,
13 And Mordecai saide, that they should answere Ester thus, Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the Kings house, more then all the Iewes.
nodwoko kowacho niya, “Kik ipar ni in kendi ema inikwo e dhood jo-Yahudi duto nikech in e od ruoth.
14 For if thou holdest thy peace at this time, comfort and deliuerance shall appeare to the Iewes out of another place, but thou and thy fathers house shall perish: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time?
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 Ester commanded to answere Mordecai,
Eka Esta nooro dwoko ne Modekai kama:
16 Goe, and assemble all the Iewes that are found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and eate not, nor drinke in three dayes, day nor night. I also and my maydes will fast likewise, and so will I go in to the King, which is not according to the lawe: 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 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Ester had commanded him.
Omiyo Modekai nodhi motimo duto mane Esta ochiko mondo otim.
