< Esther 4 >
1 And Mordecai hath known all that hath been done, and Mordecai rendeth his garments, and putteth on sackcloth and ashes, and goeth forth into the midst of the city and crieth — a cry loud and bitter,
Ke Mordecai el lohng ke ma nukewa orek inge, el seya nuknuk lal ke inse toasr. Na el nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa ac sang apat nu fin sifal, ac fahsr sasla in siti sac, wowoyak ke pusra lulap ac arulana asor,
2 and he cometh in unto the front of the gate of the king, but none is to come in unto the gate of the king with a sackcloth-garment.
nwe ke el sun mutunoa nu ke lohm sin tokosra. El tiana ilyak nu loac, mweyen tia filfilla mwet in utyak nu we elos fin nukum nuknuk yohk eoa.
3 And in every province and province, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, a great mourning have the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting: sackcloth and ashes are spread for many.
In facl nukewa ma mwe fahkak lun tokosra akkalemyeyuk we, oasr tung mwemelil inmasrlon mwet Jew. Elos lalo, tung, ac wowoyak ke asor lulap, ac pus selos nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa ac oan in apat.
4 And young women of Esther come in and her eunuchs, and declare [it] to her, and the queen is exceedingly pained, and sendeth garments to clothe Mordecai, and to turn aside his sackcloth from off him, and he hath not received [them].
Ke mutan kulansap ac mwet eunuch lal Kasra Esther fahk nu sel ouiya ma Mordecai el oru, el liksreni na supwarla. El supwala kutu nuknuk nu sel Mordecai elan sang aolla nuknuk yohk eoa, a el tiana eis.
5 And Esther calleth to Hatach, of the eunuchs of the king, whom he hath stationed before her, and giveth him a charge for Mordecai, to know what this [is], and wherefore this [is].
Na Esther el solalma Hathach, sie sin mwet eunuch ke inkul lun tokosra su pakpuki sel tokosra tuh elan mwet kulansap lal kasra, ac el sap elan som nu yorol Mordecai ac siyuk lah mea se sikyak ac mea sripauk.
6 And Hatach goeth out unto Mordecai, unto a broad place of the city, that [is] before the gate of the king,
Hathach el som nu yorol Mordecai ke nien toeni lun mwet uh ke mutun lohm sel tokosra.
7 and Mordecai declareth to him all that hath met him, and the explanation of the money that Haman said to weigh to the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them,
Mordecai el fahkang nu sel ma nukewa ma sikyak nu sel, ac oayapa ke lupan mani se ma Haman el wulela in srukak nu ke nien fil mani lun tokosra fin susakla mwet Jew nukewa.
8 and the copy of the writing of the law that had been given in Shushan to destroy them he hath given to him, to shew Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to lay a charge on her to go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to seek from before him, for her people.
El sang nu sel Hathach mwe fahkak se ma simla ac supweyukelik in acn Susa, su sapkakin in sikiyukla mwet Jew. Mordecai el siyuk sel elan usla nu sel Esther, ac akkalemye ouiya inge nu sel, ac siyuk elan utyak nu yorol tokosra ac kwafe sel elan nunak munas nu sin mwet lal, mwet Jew.
9 And Hatach cometh in and declareth to Esther the words of Mordecai,
Hathach el oru oana,
10 and Esther speaketh to Hatach, and chargeth him for Mordecai:
ac Esther el fahk elan folokla ac fahk kas inge nu sel Mordecai:
11 'All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of the king, do know that any man and woman, who cometh in unto the king, unto the inner court, who is not called — one law [of] his [is] to put [them] to death, apart from him to whom the king holdeth out the golden sceptre, then he hath lived; and I — I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.'
“Kutena mwet, mukul ku mutan, fin utyak nu in kalkal se oan loac in lohm sin tokosra ke tia solsol el, mwet sacn ac enenu in misa. Ma sap se pa inge. Mwet nukewa etu ke ma se inge, mutawauk ke mwet pwapa fulat lun tokosra nwe ke mwet in mutunfacl saya pac. Inkanek sefanna sie mwet el ku in kaingkunla ma sap se inge: pa tokosra el fin kolang scepter gold lal nu sel, na mwet sacn ac tia anwuki. Tusruktu ac malem se lac tokosra el soenna suliyu.”
12 And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther,
Ke Mordecai el lohng kas inge sel Esther,
13 and Mordecai speaketh to send back unto Esther: 'Do not think in thy soul to be delivered [in] the house of the king, more than all the Jews,
el supwala kas in top lal nu sel, “Nik kom nunku mu kom mukena inmasrlon mwet Jew ac ku in kaingkunla ouiya se inge ke sripen na kom muta inkul fulat sin tokosra.
14 but if thou keep entirely silent at this time, respite and deliverance remaineth to the Jews from another place, and thou and the house of thy fathers are destroyed; and who knoweth whether for a time like this thou hast come to the kingdom?'
Kom fin mihsla ac tia kas ke pacl ouinge uh, inkanek in kasru fah tuku lucng me nu sin mwet Jew, ac elos ac fah moliyukla, tusruktu kom ac misa, ac sou lun papa tomom fah wanginla. Na su etu, sahp ma na orek tuh kom in kasrala nu ke pacl se inge!”
15 And Esther speaketh to send back unto Mordecai:
Esther el supwala kas in top inge nu sel Mordecai:
16 'Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in unto the king, that [is] not according to law, and when I have perished — I have perished.'
“Fahla ac eisani mwet Jew nukewa in Susa nu sie. Kowos lalo ac pre keik. Nik kowos mongo ku nim kutena ma ke len tolu ac fong tolu. Nga, ac mutan kulansap luk, fah oru oapana. Tukun ma inge, nga fah som nu yorol tokosra, finne lain ma sap. Nga fin oru tuh misa, na nga misa.”
17 And Mordecai passeth on, and doth according to all that Esther hath charged upon him.
Na Mordecai el som, ac oru ma nukewa ma Esther el sap elan oru.
