Esther 2
1 After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of King Ahasuerus, he has remembered Vashti, and that which she did, and that which has been decreed concerning her;
Kane mirimb ruoth Ahasuerus noserumo, noparo gima ne Vashti otimo, to gi chik mane osegolo.
2 and servants of the king, his ministers, say, “Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance,
To jotich matiyone ruoth nowachone niya, “Owinjore mondo odwar ne ruoth nyiri man-gi chia mapok ongʼeyo chwo.
3 and the king appoints inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman—virgin, of good appearance—to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, to the hand of Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications,
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 the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king reigns instead of Vashti”; and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he does so.
Bangʼe to owe nyako molombo wangʼ ruoth obed mikach ruoth kar Vashti.” Paroni ne ber ne ruoth mi notimo kamano.
5 A man, a Jew, there has been in Shushan the palace, and his name [is] Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, 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 removed from Jerusalem with the expulsion that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed—
mane ogol Jerusalem gi Nebukadneza ruoth Babulon, ma gin e joma ne oter e twech kaachiel gi Jehoyakin ruodh Juda.
7 and he is supporting Hadassah—she [is] Esther—daughter of his uncle, for she has neither father nor mother, and the young woman [is] of beautiful form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother Mordecai has taken her to himself for 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 comes to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered to Shushan the palace, to the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken to the house of the king, to the hand of Hegai, 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 young woman is good in his eyes, and she receives kindness before him, and he hurries her purifications and her portions—to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided—to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changes her and her young women to a good [place 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 has not declared her people, and her family, for Mordecai has laid a charge on her that she does not declare [it];
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 during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is 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 in the drawing near of the turn of each young woman to come in to King Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her—according to the law of the women—twelve months, for so they fulfill the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes, and with the purifications of 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 with this the young woman has come in to the king, all that she says is given to her to go in with her out of the house of the women to 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 has gone in, and in the morning she has turned back to the second house of the women, to the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she does not come in anymore to the king except the king has delighted in her, and she has been 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 in the drawing near of the turn of Esther—daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to himself for a daughter—to come in to the king, she has not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, says, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing 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 is taken to King Ahasuerus, to his royal house, in the tenth month—it [is] the month of 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 loves Esther above all the women, and she receives grace and kindness before him above all the virgins, and he sets a royal crown on her head, and causes her to reign 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 makes a great banquet to all his heads and his servants—the banquet of Esther—and has made a release to the provinces, and gives gifts as a memorial 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 in the virgins being gathered a second time, then Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king;
Kane ochak ochan nyiri mabeyogi kendo Modekai noyudo obet e dhoranga ruoth.
20 Esther is not declaring her family and her people, as Mordecai has laid a charge on her, and the saying of Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him.
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, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king, has Bigthan been angry, and Teresh (two of the eunuchs of the king, the keepers of the threshold), and they seek to put forth a hand on King Ahasuerus,
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 is known to Mordecai, and he declares [it] to Esther the queen, and Esther speaks 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 is sought out, and found, and both of them are hanged on a tree, and it is written in the scroll of the 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.
