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 entrance 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 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom.
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, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
Esta nodwoko ruoth niya, “Ka ihera kendo ineno ni ber miya gima akwayo, to yie ibi gi Haman e nyasi maselosonu.”
5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
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 the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall he granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
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 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;
Eka Esta nodwoko niya, Kwayona gi dwarona ema:
8 if I have found favour 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 shall prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king hath said.
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 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
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 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Kata kamano, Haman nomako chunye mi nodhi dala. Noluongo osiepene kamoro achiel gi Zeresh ma jaode.
11 And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
Haman nosungorenegi kaka en-gi mwandu mathoth, gi yawuowi mangʼeny, to gi kaka ruoth osemiye duongʼ moloyo jotelo gi jodongo mamoko.
12 Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow also am I invited by her together with the king.
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 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.
To magi duto ok miya mor kapod aneno ja-Yahudi ma Modekai kobet e dhoranga ruoth.”
14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
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.
