Esther 2
1 After these events, when the fury of king Achashverosh was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what had been decreed concerning her.
Kane mirimb ruoth Ahasuerus noserumo, noparo gima ne Vashti otimo, to gi chik mane osegolo.
2 Thus said the king's young men, his servants, Let there be sought for the king virgins handsome in appearance;
To jotich matiyone ruoth nowachone niya, “Owinjore mondo odwar ne ruoth nyiri man-gi chia mapok ongʼeyo chwo.
3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the young virgins, handsome in appearance, unto Shushan the capital, into the house of the women, under the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women; and let them give them their customary anointings;
Kuom mano yier ji mondo odhi omany nyiri mabeyo e pinje duto manie bwo lochni, kendo gikelgi e dalani Susa mondo oketgi e lwet Hegai ma jatich ruoth mabwoch mane jarit mon; kendo mondo omigi modhi mag loso del mondo gibed maberie moloyo.
4 And let the maiden who may be pleasing in the eyes of the king become queen instead of Vashti: and the speech was pleasing in the eyes of the king, and he did so.
Bangʼe to owe nyako molombo wangʼ ruoth obed mikach ruoth kar Vashti.” Paroni ne ber ne ruoth mi notimo kamano.
5 There was a certain Jew in Shushan the capital, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Yair, the son of Shim'i, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
E dala mochiel mar Susa ne nitie ja-Yahudi moro ma ja-dhood Benjamin ma nyinge Modekai wuod Jair, ma wuod Shimei, wuod Kish,
6 Who had been carried away into exile from Jerusalem with the exiles who had been exiled with Jeconyah, the king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried into exile.
mane ogol Jerusalem gi Nebukadneza ruoth Babulon, ma gin e joma ne oter e twech kaachiel gi Jehoyakin ruodh Juda.
7 And he had brought up Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his uncle; for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was beautiful in form and handsome in appearance; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai had taken her to himself as a daughter.
Modekai ne nigi nyamin, ma nyar owadgi wuon-gi ma nyinge ne Hadasa, mane opidho nikech ne en kich. Nyakoni ma bende ne ongʼere gi nying machielo ni Esta ne en jachia, kendo ne osekawe mobedo ka nyare, bangʼ tho wuon gi min.
8 And it came to pass, when the king's order and his decree were heard, and when many maidens were brought together unto Shushan the capital, under the custody of Hegai, that Esther also was brought unto the king's house, under the custody of Hegai, the keeper of the women.
Kane chik ruoth kod lendone osetim, nyiri mangʼeny ne okel e dala mochiel mar Susa e od mon mi oketgi e lwet Hegai mondo oritgi. Esta bende ne okel moter e dala ruoth mokete kaachiel gi mon-go ka Hegai ritogi.
9 And the maiden was pleasing in his eyes, and she obtained favor before him; and he made haste to give her her anointings, with her presents, and the seven maidens, who were selected to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maidens with the best things in the house of the women.
Nyakono ne longʼo kendo noyudo ngʼwono e wangʼ Hegai. Nomiye modhi miwirruokgo gi chiemo mabeyo mana gisano. Nomiye nyiri abiriyo moyier moa e od ruoth bende ne ogole motere kama berie moloyo e od mon kanyo.
10 Esther told nothing of her people or of her descent; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not tell.
Esta ne pok onyiso ngʼato ni en nyar oganda mane, kata nonro mar anywolane, nikech Modekai ne osekwere ni kik onyis ngʼato wachno.
11 And day by day did Mordecai walk before the court of the house of women, to ascertain the well-being of Esther, and what would be done with her.
Pile ka pile Modekai ne wuotho e dala kanyo machiegni gi koma ochiel ni mon mondo ongʼe kaka Esta dhi kod gik mane timorene.
12 And when the turn of every maiden was come to go in unto king Achashverosh, at the expiration [of the time] that she had been treated according to the custom of the women, twelve months; for so were the days of their anointings accomplished, six months with the oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors, and with other ointments of the women;
Kane nyako moro amora pok oyudo thuolo mar dhi ir ruoth Ahasuerus, nimiye dweche apar gariyo mane owirore gi modhi maloso del mane oket ni mon-go mondo owirrego, dweche auchiel mokwongo ne imiyogi mo molos gi mane-mane mondo giwirrego, to dweche auchiel mamoko ne giwirore gi modhi moko mangʼwe ngʼar.
13 And thus came the maiden unto the king; [and] whatsoever she asked for was given her to go with her out of the house of the women as far as the house of the king.
Ma e kaka ne onego odhi ir ruoth: Gimoro amora modwaro lichorego kodhi e od ruoth ne imiye koa e od mon.
14 In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned unto the second house of the women, to the custody of Sha'ashgas, the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the concubines: she used not to come again unto the king, except the king desired for her, and she was called by name.
Kane ochopo odhiambo ne odhi kuno to kochopo okinyi, to noduogo e od mon komachielo mirito gi Shashgaz, ma en bende ne en bwoch mane ruoth oketo mondo orit monde. Ne ok onyal dok ir ruoth makmana ka ruoth ne mor kode moluonge gi nyinge.
15 And when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abichayil, the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her to himself as a daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, said: and Esther obtained grace in the eyes of all those that beheld her.
Kane chiengʼ mane Esta onego dhi ir ruoth ochopo, ne ok okwayo gimoro mondo odhigo, makmana gik mane Hegai, jatich ruoth mabwoch mane rito mon, omiye. Esta ne en nyar Abihail, ma owadgi wuon Modekai, mane Modekai opidho kaka nyare. Ji duto mane oneno Esta ne mor kode.
16 And Esther was taken unto king Achashverosh, unto his royal house, in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
Notere ir ruoth Ahasuerus e ot ma ruoth dakie e dwe mar apar miluongo ni Tebeth, e hike mar abiriyo mar lochne.
17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor before him more than all the virgins; and he placed the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Koro ruoth ne ohero Esta kendo chunye ne otwere kuome moloyo nyiri duto, nolombo wangʼ ruoth, kendo ruoth noyie kode moloyo nyiri mamoko. Mine osidhone osimbo mar duongʼ, mi okete obedo mikache kar Vashti.
18 And the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, the feast of Esther; and he made a release of taxes to the provinces, and gave presents, according to the ability of the king.
Ruoth noloso nyasi maduongʼ mirwakogo Esta, nolose ne jodonge gi jotelo duto, noloso chiengʼno mondo obed chiengʼ yweyo maonge tich e pinyruodhe duto ka ooro ni ji mich mabup.
19 And when virgins were gathered together the second time, then was Mordecai sitting in the king's gate.
Kane ochak ochan nyiri mabeyogi kendo Modekai noyudo obet e dhoranga ruoth.
20 [But] Esther had not yet told of her descent nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her; and Esther did [fulfill] the order of Mordecai, equally as when she was under his guardianship.
To Esta ne pok owacho ne ngʼato angʼata nonro mar anywolane kata oganda mowuokie mana kaka ne Modekai osechike mondo otim, ne pod orito chik mane omiye gi Modekai mana kaka ne otimo kane pod odak kode kopidhe.
21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate, Bigthan and Theresh, two chamberlains of the king, of those who kept the door, became wroth, and sought to lay [their] hand on king Achashverosh.
Kane Modekai obet e dhoranga ruoth kaka nojabet, Bigthana gi Teresh, ariyo kuom jotend ruoth mane rito rangach, nokecho kendo negichano mondo gineg ruoth Ahasuerus.
22 And the thing became known to Mordecai, and he told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther said it to the king in the name of Mordecai.
To Modekai nofwenyo wachgino monyiso Esta ma mikach ruoth, mane otero wach ne ruoth konyiso ni Modekai ema owachone.
23 And the thing was inquired into and found true; and they were both of them hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of chronicles before the king.
Kane onon wachno moyud ni en adieri, jotelo ariyogo nolier e yath. Magi duto ne ondiki e kitap weche mag ruodhi mana ka ruoth neno.
