Esther 5
1 And it came to pass, on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the house of the king, over against the house of the king, —and, the king, was sitting upon his royal seat, in the royal house, over against the opening 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 And it came to pass, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his eyes, —and the king held out to Esther, the golden sceptre which was in his hand, so Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
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 said the king unto her, What aileth thee, Queen Esther? and what is thy request? Unto the half of the kingdom, shall it be given thee.
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 Then said Esther, If, unto the king, it seem good, let the king with Haman come in this day, unto the banquet which 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 And the king said, Hasten ye Haman, to perform the word of Esther. So the king with Haman came in, unto the banquet which 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 Then said the king unto Esther, during the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, that it may be granted thee?—and what is thy request—unto the half of the kingdom—that it may 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 answered Esther, and said, —As touching my petition and my request,
Esther el topuk,
8 If I have found favour in the eyes of the king, and if, unto the king, it seem good, to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king with Haman come in unto the banquet which I will prepare for them, and, to-morrow, I will do according to the word of the king.
“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 went Haman forth on that day, joyful and of a merry heart, —but, when Haman saw Mordecai in the gate of the king, that he rose not up nor moved because of him, then was Haman 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 came into his own house, —and sent and brought in 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 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 to power, and how he had advanced him, above the rulers and the 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 And Haman said, Moreover Esther the queen did bring in no one with the king into the banquet which she had prepared, saving myself, —yea moreover, even for to-morrow, I, am invited unto her, 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, sufficeth me not, —so long as, I, see Mordecai the Jew, sitting in the gate of the king.
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 said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let them make ready a gallows, of the height of fifty cubits, and, in the morning, speak thou unto the king, that they hang Mordecai thereon, then go with the king into the banquet joyfully. And the thing seemed good before Haman, and he made ready the gallows.
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.
