Esther 5
1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on [her] royal [apparel], and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
Chiengʼ mar adek Esta norwako lawe mar duongʼ kaka mikach ruoth mochungʼ e laru maiye mar dala ruoth, kama omanyore gi ot maduongʼ ma ruoth bedoe; Ruoth ne oyudo obedo e kome mar duongʼ e ot, kama omanyore gi dhoot.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, [that] she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that [was] in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Kane oneno ruoth madhako miluongo ni Esta ma mikache kochungʼ e laru, nomor kode mi otingʼone ludhe mar dhahabu mane ni e lwete. Omiyo Esta nodhi momulo wi luth.
3 And the king said, What will you, Esther? and what is your request? [ask] even to the half of my kingdom, and it shall be yours.
Eka ruoth nopenjo Esta niya, “En angʼo? En angʼo midwaro kwayo? Kwa akwaya kata obed mana nus mar pinya, to ibiro miyi.”
4 And Esther said, To-day is my great day: if then it seem good to the king, let both him and Aman come to the feast which I will prepare this day.
Esta nodwoko ruoth niya, “Ka ihera kendo ineno ni ber miya gima akwayo, to yie ibi gi Haman e nyasi maselosonu.”
5 And the king said, Hasten Aman hither, that we may perform the word of Esther. So they both come to the feast of which Esther had spoken.
Ruoth nowacho mondo okel Haman piyo, mondo mi watim gima Esta okwayo. Omiyo ruoth kod Haman ne odhi e nyasi mane Esta oseloso.
6 And at the banquet the king said to Esther, What is [your request], queen Esther? [speak], and you shall have all that you require.
Kane onwangʼo gimadho divai, ruoth nochako openjo Esta niya, “Koro angʼo midwaro kwayo? Ibiro miyigo. En angʼo mikwayo? Kata obed nus mar pinya to oyieni mondo ikawe.”
7 And she said, My request and my petition [are]:
Eka Esta nodwoko niya, Kwayona gi dwarona ema:
8 if I have found favor in the sight of the king, let the king and Aman come again to-morrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and to-morrow I will do the same.
Ka ruoth otimona ngʼwono kendo ihera kendo ka iyie mondo itim kwayona, to yie mondo ruoth gi Haman mondo obi e nyasi ma kiny nalosnu. Eka abiro dwoko ruoth penjoneno.
9 So Aman went out from the king very glad [and] merry: but when Aman saw Mardochaeus the Jew in the court, he was greatly enraged.
Haman nowuok kanyo kamor kendo ka chunye opongʼ gi ilo. To kane oneno Modekai e dhoranga ruoth ka ok ochungʼ ne kata nyiso luor e nyime, mirima nomake nikech Modekai.
10 And having gone into his own house, he called his friends, and his wife Zosara.
Kata kamano, Haman nomako chunye mi nodhi dala. Noluongo osiepene kamoro achiel gi Zeresh ma jaode.
11 And he showed them his wealth, and the glory with which the king had invested him, and how he had caused him to take precedence and bear chief rule in the kingdom.
Haman nosungorenegi kaka en-gi mwandu mathoth, gi yawuowi mangʼeny, to gi kaka ruoth osemiye duongʼ moloyo jotelo gi jodongo mamoko.
12 And Aman said, The queen has called no one to the feast with the king but me, and I am invited to-morrow.
Haman nomedo wacho niya, “To ok mano kende, an kenda ema Esta mikach ruoth oluonga mondo adhi gi ruoth e nyasine moloso, to kiny bende oseluonga mondo wadhi gi ruoth.
13 But these things please me not, while I see Mardochaeus the Jew in the court.
To magi duto ok miya mor kapod aneno ja-Yahudi ma Modekai kobet e dhoranga ruoth.”
14 And Zosara his wife and his friends said to him, Let there be a gallows made for you of fifty cubits, and in the morning do you speak to the king, and let Mardochaeus be hanged on the gallows: but do you go in to the feast with the king, and be merry. And the saying pleased Aman, and the gallows was prepared.
Jaode ma Zeresh gi osiepene duto nongʼadone rieko niya, “Gur yath ma borne oromo fut piero abiriyo gabich mi liere ji, kendo ikwa ruoth gokinyi mondo oneg Modekai kolier kanyo. Eka mondo idhi uchiem gi ruoth ka imor.” Parono nomoro Haman, mi nogero gima inegogo ji koliergi.
