Esther 3
1 After these things, King Ahasuerus promoted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and placed his seat of authority above all the officials who were with him.
Bangʼ ka gigi nosetimore, ruoth Ahasuerus nomiyo Haman wuod Hamedatha, ja-Agag duongʼ moloyo jodongo duto.
2 All the king's servants who were at the king's gate always knelt and prostrated themselves to Haman, as the king had ordered them to do. But Mordecai neither knelt nor prostrated himself.
Jotich joka ruoth duto mane ni e rangach ne goyo chonggi piny ka gimiyo Haman duongʼ gi luor, nikech ruoth noseketo chik mondo otimne kamano. To Modekai to ne odagi goyone chonge piny kamiyego duongʼ.
3 Then the king's servants who were at the king's gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king's command?”
Eka jotich joka ruoth mane ni e rangach nopenjo Modekai niya, “Angʼo momiyo idagi timo chik ma ruoth oketo?”
4 They spoke with him day after day, but he refused to comply with their demands. So they spoke with Haman to see if the matter about Mordecai would remain like that, for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Pile ka pile ne giwuoyo kode, to nodagi timo kaka chik dwaro. Omiyo neginyiso Haman wachno mondo one anena kaka tim Modekai-ni inyalo yiego nimar nosewachonegi ni en ja-Yahudi.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not kneel and bow down to him, Haman was filled with rage.
Kane Haman oneno ni Modekai ok nyal goyone chonge piny kata miye luor, mirima nomake.
6 He had contempt for the idea of killing only Mordecai, for the king's servants had told him who Mordecai's people were. Haman wanted to exterminate all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were in the entire kingdom of Ahasuerus.
To kaka ne osengʼeyo oganda ma Modekai ae, ne ochayo wach nego mana Modekai kende. Kar timo mano, Haman nodwaro yo monyalo tiekogo oganda gi Modekai duto, ma gin jo-Yahudi, e pinyruodh Ahasuerus duto.
7 In the first month (which is the month of Nisan), in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, the Pur—that is the lot—was thrown before Haman, to select a day and month. They cast the lot over and over until the lot fell on the twelfth month (which is the month of Adar).
E higa mar apar gariyo mar ruoth Ahasuerus, e dwe mokwongo, miluongo ni Nisan negigoyo ombulu (miluongo ni pur) e nyim Haman mondo giyier odiechiengʼ gi dwe. To ombulu nolwar e dwe mar apar gariyo dwe miluongo ni Adar.
8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and distributed among all the provinces of your kingdom. Their laws are different from those of other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so it is not suitable for the king to let them stay.
Eka Haman nowachone ruoth Ahasuerus niya, “Nitie oganda moro moke e kind ogendini manie pinyruodhi ma timbegi opogore gi mag ogendini duto ma ok oluoro kata mana chike mag ruoth; omiyo ok en wach maber ka ruoth oweyogi aweya.
9 If it please the king, give a command to kill them, and I will weigh out ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, for them to put it into the king's treasury.”
Ka ber ne ruoth to mondo ogol chik mondo otiekgi, an to abiro golo fedha maromo kilo alufu mia angʼwen mondo okete kar keno mar joka ruoth mondo ochul joma biro tiyo tijno.”
10 Then the king took the signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
Eka ruoth nogolo terene e lwete mi omiyo Haman wuod Hamedatha, ja-Agag, ma jawasik jo-Yahudi.
11 The king said to Haman, “I will see that the money is given back to you and your people. You will do with it whatever you wish.”
Ruoth nowachone Haman niya, “We golo pesani, to timne jogo gima in ema ihero.”
12 Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree containing all that Haman had commanded was written to the king's provincial governors, those who were over all the provinces, to the governors of all the various peoples, and to the officials of all the people, to every province in their own writing, and to every people in their own language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and was sealed with his ring.
Kane ochopo tarik apar gadek mar dwe mokwongo, noluong jogoro mag joka ruoth. Negindiko barupe madhi e piny ka piny kendo e dhok mar oganda ka oganda gik mane Haman ochiko mondo ondiki ne jotelo morito pinje mopogore opogore gi jodongo mag ogendini. Barupegi nondik gi nying ruoth Ahasuerus owuon mi ogo sei gi tere mar ruoth.
13 Documents were hand-delivered by couriers to all the king's provinces, to annihilate, kill, and destroy all Jews, from young to old, children and women, in one day—on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (which is the month of Adar)—and to plunder their possessions.
Joote matero barupegi noor e pinje duto manie bwo loch ruoth kogolo chik ni jo-Yahudi duto nyaka negi matiek pep, bed ni gin jomatindo, joma oti, mon gi nyithindo matindo e odiechiengʼ achiel tarik apar gadek, dwe mar apar gariyo, miluongo ni Adar, kendo mondo oyak mwandugi.
14 A copy of the letter was made law in every province. In every province it was made known to all the people that they should prepare for this day.
Nondik wechegi moketgi kaka chik e pinje duto mondo oland ne ogendini gi dhout pinje mondo obed moikore ne chiengʼno.
15 The couriers went out and hurried to distribute the king's order. The decree was also distributed within the fortress of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in turmoil.
Kaluwore gi chik ruoth, jootego nowuok piyo piyo mine oket milomeno e ohinga mar dala Susa. Ruoth gi Haman nobet piny mondo omethi, to dala maduongʼ mar Susa nobwok kowinjo wachno.
