1 Ma e gima notimore e ndalo loch Ahasuerus, e kinde mane orito pinje mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo chakre India nyaka Kush.
Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this [is] Ahasuerus who reigned from India even to Cush, [over] a hundred and seven and twenty provinces: )
2 E kindeno ruoth Ahasuerus norito loch Kodak e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno mar Susa,
[That] in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which [was] in Shushan the palace,
3 to e higa mar adek mar lochne noloso sawo ne jodonge gi jotije duto gi jotend lweny man Pasia gi Media gi joka ruoth, gi jodongo duto mag pinje bende ne nitie.
In the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, [being] before him:
4 Kuom ndalo mia achiel gi piero aboro nonyisogi mwandu mathoth mag pinyruodhe gi ber kod teko miwuoro mar lochne.
When he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, [even] a hundred and eighty days.
5 Ka ndalogo noserumo, ruoth notimo sawo ni ji duto mane odak e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno mar Susa. Sawono notim e siwandha mar dala ruoth kendo nokawo ndalo abiriyo.
And when these days had expired, the king made a feast for all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both for great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
6 E siwandhano ne nitie pasia marachar gi marambulu molier kotwe gi tonde momin gi lewni marochere gi maralik kolier e bonje mar fedha manotwe e sirni mapakni. Kombego nolos gi dhahabu gi fedha kendo siwandhano nobug gi kite mopogore opogore ma nengogi tek ma kitgi opogore opogore.
[Where were] white, green, and blue [hangings], fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds [were of] gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black marble.
7 Ji ne madho divai gi kikombe mopogore opogore kendo divai ne ngʼeny mana ka mar ruoth adier nikech ne chunye ngʼwon.
And they gave [them] drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another, ) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.
8 Ruoth nogolo chik ni mondo oyiene ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo omadh gima odwaro, nimar ruoth nosegolo chik ne jotich mapogo divai ni mondo omi ngʼato ka ngʼato math modwaro.
And the drinking [was] according to the law; none constrained: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.
9 Vashti mikach ruoth bende ne oloso sawo ne mon modak e dala ruoth Ahasuerus.
Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women [in] the royal house which [belonged] to king Ahasuerus.
10 Chiengʼ mar abiriyo kane divai oromo ruoth Ahasuerus nochiko jotichne mabwoch abiriyo magin Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar gi Karkas,
On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
11 mondo okel Vashti ma mikache ire ka orwako osimbo mar mikach ruoth, kendo mondo onyis ji to gi jotelo kaka ojaber, nikech nober neno.
To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the people and the princes her beauty: for she [was] fair to look on.
12 To ka joote notero wach ma ruoth nochiko, Vashti ma mikach ruoth notamore dhi. Eka ruoth nobedo makwiny kendo iye nowangʼ ahinya.
But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by [his] chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
13 Kaka ne en timgi mondo ruoth openj wach kuom joma olony e weche mag chike gi kaka ingʼado bura kare, nowuoyo gi joma riek, manongʼeyo weche mag ndalo,
Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for so [was] the king's manner towards all that knew law and judgment:
14 bende ne gin joma ruoth ogeno ahinya mane bet machiegni kode kaka Karshena, Shetha, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena gi Memukan, mane gin jodongo abiriyo mag Pasia gi Media mane nyalo donjo ir ruoth e sa asaya bende ne gin joma oluor kendo ogen e pinyruoth.
And the next to him [was] Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, [and] Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, [and] who sat the first in the kingdom; )
15 Nopenjogi niya, “Kaluwore gi chik, angʼo monego timne Vashti ma mikacha? Nikech osedagi winjo chik mar ruoth Ahasuerus mane oorogo jotichne mabwoch ire.”
What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
16 Eka Memukan nodwoko wach e nyim ruoth gi jotelo niya, “Vashti mikach ruoth osetimo tim marach ne jotelo gi ji duto man e gwenge man e bwo loch ruoth Ahasuerus.
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that [are] in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17 Nimar tim ma mikach ruoth otimoni, ka mon mamoko ongʼeyo, to gibiro chayo chwogi kagiwacho ni, ‘Ruoth Ahasuerus nochiko mikache ma Vashti mondo okel e nyime, to nodagi biro.’
For [this] deed of the queen will come abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
18 Kata mana kawuononi mond jodong Pasia gi Media ma owinjo tim ma mikachi otimo biro mana timo ne jodong ruoth tim machal gi mano. Achaya gi ich wangʼ biro dhi nyime maonge gikone.
[Likewise] will the ladies of Persia and Media say this day to all the king's princes, who have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus [will there arise] too much contempt and wrath.
19 “Emomiyo, ka ber ne ruoth to mondo ogol chik maka ruoth kendo mondo ondiki wachni e chike mag Pasia gi Media, mosiko ma ok nyal gol ni Vashti kik chak bi e nyim ruoth Ahasuerus kendo. Bende ruoth onego ket ngʼato kare malongʼo man-gi chia moloye.
If it pleaseth the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she.
20 Eka chik ma ruoth ogolono nolandre pinye duto, kendo mon duto biro luoro chwogi, maonge modongʼ.”
And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great, ) all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.
21 Ruoth gi jodonge ne mor gi rieko mane ongʼadni, eka ruoth notimo kaka Memukan nowacho.
And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
22 Nooro baruwa moketoe sei mare ni pinjeruodhi duto, moro ka moro nondikne gi dhogi giwegi kanyisogi malongʼo e dhok ma giwinjo ni chwo duto obed gi teko mar rito miechgi gi joma odak e miechgigo.
For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that [it] should be published according to the language of every people.
