Esther 1
1 Now it happened in the days of Achashyerosh (this is Achashyerosh who reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over one hundred twenty-seven provinces),
Ma e gima notimore e ndalo loch Ahasuerus, e kinde mane orito pinje mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo chakre India nyaka Kush.
2 that in those days, when the King Achashyerosh sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
E kindeno ruoth Ahasuerus norito loch Kodak e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno mar Susa,
3 in the third year of his reign, he made a feast for all his officials and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him.
to e higa mar adek mar lochne noloso sawo ne jodonge gi jotije duto gi jotend lweny man Pasia gi Media gi joka ruoth, gi jodongo duto mag pinje bende ne nitie.
4 He displayed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even one hundred eighty days.
Kuom ndalo mia achiel gi piero aboro nonyisogi mwandu mathoth mag pinyruodhe gi ber kod teko miwuoro mar lochne.
5 When these days were fulfilled, the king made a seven day feast for all the people who were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.
Ka ndalogo noserumo, ruoth notimo sawo ni ji duto mane odak e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno mar Susa. Sawono notim e siwandha mar dala ruoth kendo nokawo ndalo abiriyo.
6 There were hangings of white, green, and blue material, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and marble pillars. The couches were of gold and silver, on a pavement of red, white, yellow, and black marble.
E siwandhano ne nitie pasia marachar gi marambulu molier kotwe gi tonde momin gi lewni marochere gi maralik kolier e bonje mar fedha manotwe e sirni mapakni. Kombego nolos gi dhahabu gi fedha kendo siwandhano nobug gi kite mopogore opogore ma nengogi tek ma kitgi opogore opogore.
7 They gave them drinks in golden vessels of various kinds, including royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.
Ji ne madho divai gi kikombe mopogore opogore kendo divai ne ngʼeny mana ka mar ruoth adier nikech ne chunye ngʼwon.
8 In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had instructed all the officials of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.
Ruoth nogolo chik ni mondo oyiene ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo omadh gima odwaro, nimar ruoth nosegolo chik ne jotich mapogo divai ni mondo omi ngʼato ka ngʼato math modwaro.
9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to King Achashyerosh.
Vashti mikach ruoth bende ne oloso sawo ne mon modak e dala ruoth Ahasuerus.
10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcass, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of Achashyerosh the king,
Chiengʼ mar abiriyo kane divai oromo ruoth Ahasuerus nochiko jotichne mabwoch abiriyo magin Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar gi Karkas,
11 to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown, to show the people and the officials her beauty; for she was beautiful.
mondo okel Vashti ma mikache ire ka orwako osimbo mar mikach ruoth, kendo mondo onyis ji to gi jotelo kaka ojaber, nikech nober neno.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by the eunuchs. Therefore the king was very angry, and his anger burned in him.
To ka joote notero wach ma ruoth nochiko, Vashti ma mikach ruoth notamore dhi. Eka ruoth nobedo makwiny kendo iye nowangʼ ahinya.
13 Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for it was the king's custom to consult those who knew law and judgment;
Kaka ne en timgi mondo ruoth openj wach kuom joma olony e weche mag chike gi kaka ingʼado bura kare, nowuoyo gi joma riek, manongʼeyo weche mag ndalo,
14 and the next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven officials of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and sat first in the kingdom),
bende ne gin joma ruoth ogeno ahinya mane bet machiegni kode kaka Karshena, Shetha, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena gi Memukan, mane gin jodongo abiriyo mag Pasia gi Media mane nyalo donjo ir ruoth e sa asaya bende ne gin joma oluor kendo ogen e pinyruoth.
15 "What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not done the bidding of the King Achashyerosh by the eunuchs?"
Nopenjogi niya, “Kaluwore gi chik, angʼo monego timne Vashti ma mikacha? Nikech osedagi winjo chik mar ruoth Ahasuerus mane oorogo jotichne mabwoch ire.”
16 Memucan answered before the king and the officials, "Vashti the queen has not done wrong to just the king, but also to all the officials and to all the people who are in all the provinces of the King Achashyerosh.
Eka Memukan nodwoko wach e nyim ruoth gi jotelo niya, “Vashti mikach ruoth osetimo tim marach ne jotelo gi ji duto man e gwenge man e bwo loch ruoth Ahasuerus.
17 For this deed of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to show contempt for their husbands, when it is reported, 'King Achashyerosh commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she did not come.'
Nimar tim ma mikach ruoth otimoni, ka mon mamoko ongʼeyo, to gibiro chayo chwogi kagiwacho ni, ‘Ruoth Ahasuerus nochiko mikache ma Vashti mondo okel e nyime, to nodagi biro.’
18 Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's deed will tell all the king's officials. This will cause much contempt and wrath.
Kata mana kawuononi mond jodong Pasia gi Media ma owinjo tim ma mikachi otimo biro mana timo ne jodong ruoth tim machal gi mano. Achaya gi ich wangʼ biro dhi nyime maonge gikone.
19 If it please the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it cannot be altered, that Vashti may never again come before King Achashyerosh; and let the king give her royal estate to another who is better than she.
“Emomiyo, ka ber ne ruoth to mondo ogol chik maka ruoth kendo mondo ondiki wachni e chike mag Pasia gi Media, mosiko ma ok nyal gol ni Vashti kik chak bi e nyim ruoth Ahasuerus kendo. Bende ruoth onego ket ngʼato kare malongʼo man-gi chia moloye.
20 When the king's decree which he shall make is published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give their husbands honor, both great and small."
Eka chik ma ruoth ogolono nolandre pinye duto, kendo mon duto biro luoro chwogi, maonge modongʼ.”
21 And this advice pleased the king and the officials, and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
Ruoth gi jodonge ne mor gi rieko mane ongʼadni, eka ruoth notimo kaka Memukan nowacho.
22 for he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, that every man should rule his own house, speaking in the language of his own people.
Nooro baruwa moketoe sei mare ni pinjeruodhi duto, moro ka moro nondikne gi dhogi giwegi kanyisogi malongʼo e dhok ma giwinjo ni chwo duto obed gi teko mar rito miechgi gi joma odak e miechgigo.
