Esther 5
1 Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, next to the king's house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.
Ke len in lalo se aktolu, Esther el nokomang nuknuk in kasra lal ac som ac tu inkalkal se oan loac ke lohm sel tokosra, ac ngetang nu ke infukil lun tron. Tokosra el muta infukil sac fin tron lal, ac ngetang nu ke nien utyak ah.
2 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther came near, and touched the top of the scepter.
Ke pacl se tokosra el liyalak Kasra Esther lah el tu lik ah, insial insewowo sel, ac el asroeang scepter gold soko ah nu sel. Na Kasra Esther el utyak ac kahlya mutun scepter gold soko ah.
3 Then the king asked her, "What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom."
Tokosra el siyuk, “Kasra Esther, mea kom lungse— Fahk nu sik lah mea kom enenu, na ac fah itukot nu sum, finne tafu tokosrai luk.”
4 Esther said, "If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."
Esther el topuk ac fahk, “Fin wo sin tokosra, nga kena suli tokosra ac Haman nu ke sie kufwa nga akoo nu suwos oyeku.”
5 Then the king said, "Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said." So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Na tokosra el sapla nu yorol Haman elan sulaklak tuku, eltal in som fal nu ke solsol lal Esther. Ouinge tokosra ac Haman som nu ke kufwa se Esther el akoela nu selos.
6 The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed."
Ke pacl se eltal nim wain, tokosra el siyuk sel Esther, “Fahk nu sik ma kom lungse, ac nga ac fah sot nu sum. Kom finne siyuk ke tafu tokosrai luk, ac fah itukot nu sum.”
7 Then Esther answered and said, "My petition and my request is this.
Esther el topuk,
8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said."
“Fin wo sin Tokosra, ac Tokosra fin insewowo in lohng mwe siyuk luk, nga kena tuh Tokosra ac Haman in tuku nu ke sie pac kufwa nga akoo nu suwos lutu. In pacl sacn nga ac fah fahk nu sin Tokosra ma nga enenu.”
9 Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the King's Gate, that he did not stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Ke Haman el tuyak liki kufwa uh, el arulana engan ac insewowo. Tusruktu el liyalak Mordecai ke nien utyak nu ke inkul sin tokosra, ac ke Mordecai el tiana tuyak ku akkalemye sunakinyal ke el alukella, Haman el foloyak sel.
10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Tusruktu el tiana akkalemye toasr lal, ac el folokla nu lohm sel. Na el pangoneni mwet kawuk lal nu in lohm sel, ac solalma Zeresh, mutan kial, elan tuku welulos.
11 Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king.
El konkin nu selos ke lupan kasrup lal, pusiyen wen natul, ac ke tokosra el tuh kilukunulak nu ke sie kunokon fulat, ac ke arulana yohk sripal liki leum saya lun tokosra.
12 Haman also said, "Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.
Haman el tafwela mu, “Sayen ma inge, Kasra Esther el tuh akoo sie kufwa, tia nu sin kutena mwet, a nu sik ac tokosra mukena, na el sifilpa suli kut nu lutu.
13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the King's Gate."
Tusruktu ma inge nukewa ma pilasr sik ke nga srakna liyel Mordecai, mwet Jew sac, muta ke nien utyak nu inkul fulat sin tokosra.”
14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows be made seventy-three feet eight inches high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet." This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
Ke ma inge, mutan kial ac mwet kawuk lal elos fahk nu sel, “Efu kom ku tia sap in musaiyukla sie nien loksak, ke fit itngoul limekosr fulata— Lututang kom ku in siyuk sel tokosra elan sapkin tuh Mordecai elan sripsripyak kac, na kom ac engan ac som nu ke kufwa ah.” Haman el eis mu nunak na wowo se, ouinge el sapkin in musala nien loksak se.
