Esther 2
1 After these things, when the king's feelings were calmer, the thought of Vashti and what she had done and the order he had made against her, came back to his mind.
Tok, kasrkusrak lal Tokosra Ahasuerus ne ohula, el srakna nunku ke ma Vashti el tuh oru ah, ac ke mwe fahkak se ma el tuh supwalik lainul Vashti.
2 Then the servants who were waiting on the king said to him, Let search be made for some fair young virgins for the king:
Ouinge kutu sin mwet pwapa lun tokosra su fototo nu sel elos fahk nu sel, “Efu Tokosra ku tia sap in sukok kutu mutan fusr virgin kato?
3 Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;
Tokosra el ku in srisrngia mwet kol in facl nukewa in tokosrai lal uh, tuh elos in usani mutan fusr oasku nukewa nu in lohm sin mutan in siti fulat Susa. Fuhlelosi inpaol Hegai, mwet eunuch se su karinganang un mutan kien tokosra, tuh elang asang mwe akmusra in aknasnas nu selos.
4 And let the girl who is pleasing to the king be queen in place of Vashti. And the king was pleased with this suggestion; and he did so.
Na tokosra fah eis mutan fusr se ma akinsewowoyal emeet, ac oru tuh elan kasrala in aolul Vashti.” Tokosra el nunku tuh kas in kasru na wowo se pa inge, ke ma inge el oru oana.
5 Now there was a certain Jew in Shushan named Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
Oasr sie mwet Jew su muta Susa pangpang Mordecai, wen natul Jair, su ma natul Kish su ma natul Shimei in sruf lal Benjamin.
6 Who had been taken away from Jerusalem among those who had been made prisoner with Jeconiah, king of Judah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken him away.
Ke pacl se Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylon el usalla Tokosra Jehoiachin lun Judah nu in sruoh liki acn Jerusalem, wi un mwet sruoh, Mordecai el inmasrlolos.
7 And he had been a father to Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his father's brother: for she had no father or mother, and she was very beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his daughter.
Oasr sie mutan fusr pangpang Esther, su inel in kas Hebrew pa Hadassah. El ma nutin mukul se wien papa tumal Mordecai. El mutan na kato se, ac wona atal. Ke sripen papa tumal ac nina kial ah misa, Mordecai el nutella ac oru oana acn natul sifacna.
8 So when the order made by the king was publicly given out, and a number of girls had been placed in the care of Hegai in the king's house in Shushan, Esther was taken into the king's house and put in the care of Hegai, the keeper of the women.
Ke sap lun tokosra sulkakinyukelik, ac mutan fusr puspis utukeni nu Susa, Esther el inmasrlolos. El wi pac filiyuki nu in karinginyuk lal Hegai, su liyaung lohm sin mutan inkul fulat sin tokosra.
9 And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.
Hegai el arulana insewowo sel Esther, pwanang el sa na in sang mwe akmusra nu sel oayapa mwe mongo ma fal nu ke manol. El sang acn se ma wo oemeet in lohm sin mutan nu sel, ac pakiya mutan fusr itkosr ma solla in lohm sin tokosra in kulansupwal.
10 Esther had not said what family or people she came from, for Mordecai had given her orders not to do so.
Fal nu ke kas in kasru lal Mordecai, Esther el tiana fahkak nu sin kutena mwet lah el sie mwet Jew.
11 And every day Mordecai took his walk before the square of the women's house, to see how Esther was and what would be done to her.
Len nukewa Mordecai el forfor likinum in mutun lohm sin mutan, elan ku in etu lah fuka mutangal, ac mea ac sikyak nu sel.
12 Now every girl, when her turn came, had to go in to King Ahasuerus, after undergoing, for a space of twelve months, what was ordered by the law for the women (for this was the time necessary for making them clean, that is, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet perfumes and such things as are needed for making women clean):
Pacl in naweyuk lun sie mutan muta orek ke yac nufon se. Akmusra ke oil myrrh orek ke malem onkosr, ac mwe akmusra ke ono keng orek ke malem onkosr pac. Tukun pacl sacn, oasr pacl lun kais sie mutan fusr inge in utukyak nu yorol Tokosra Ahasuerus.
13 And in this way the girl went in to the king; whatever she had a desire for was given to her to take with her from the women's house into the house of the king.
Pacl se el ac som liki lohm sin mutan nu in lohm fulat sin tokosra, el ku in sulela kutena nuknuk ku mwe yun elan nukum.
14 In the evening she went, and on the day after she came back to the second house of the women, into the keeping of Shaashgaz, one of the king's unsexed servants who had the care of the king's wives: only if the king had delight in her and sent for her by name did she go in to him again.
El ac som nu we ke eku, ac ke lotu tok ah ac utukla el nu in sie pacna lohm sin mutan, nu inpaol Shaashgaz, mwet eunuch se ma liyaung mutan kulansap kien tokosra. El fah tia sifilpa folok nu yorol tokosra, sayen tokosra el fin enenal ku sifacna pangnol ke inel.
15 Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And Esther was looked on kindly by all who saw her.
Pacl lal Esther in som nu yorol tokosra. Esther el acn natul Abihail ac ma nutin tamulel lun papa tumal Mordecai, su nutella tuh elan acn se natul. Lungkinyuk Esther sin mwet nukewa ma liyal uh. Ke sun pacl lal, el nokomang na ma Hegai, mwet eunuch se ma karingin lohm sin mutan ah, fahk nu sel elan nukum.
16 So Esther was taken in to King Ahasuerus in his house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his rule.
Ouinge ke yac se akitkosr lal Ahasuerus in tokosra, ke malem aksingoul, malem in Tebeth, utuku Esther nu yorol tokosra nu in lohm sel.
17 And Esther was more pleasing to the king than all the women, and to his eyes she was fairer and more full of grace than all the other virgins: so he put his crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.
Tokosra el lungse el yohk liki kutena mutan saya, ac el arulana engan sel yohk liki mutan fusr ngia kewa. Tokosra el sunya sifal Esther ke tefuro lun kasra, ac oru tuh elan aolulla Vashti.
18 Then the king gave a great feast for all his captains and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he gave orders through all the divisions of his kingdom for a day of rest from work, and gave wealth from his store.
Na tokosra el oru sie kufwa lulap in akfulatyal Esther, ac el suli mwet fulat ac mwet leum lal nukewa. El oakiya len sac tuh in sie len lulap nu sin mutunfacl nukewa ma el leumi, ac el kitalik mwe sang yohk ma fal nu ke ouiya lun sie tokosra.
19 And when the virgins came together in the second house of the women, Mordecai took his seat in the doorway of the king's house.
In pacl sac pacna, tokosra el srisrngilya Mordecai nu ke sie orekma fulat.
20 Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders; for Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.
Esther el soenna akkalemye lah el sie mwet Jew. Mordecai el tuh fahk nu sel elan tiana fahk nu sin kutena mwet, na Esther el aksol ke ma se inge oana ke el tuh oru ke el srakna srik ac muta yorol.
21 In those days, while Mordecai was seated at the king's doorway, two of the king's servants, Bigthan and Teresh, keepers of the door, being angry, were looking for a chance to make an attack on King Ahasuerus.
In pacl se Mordecai el oru orekma lal inkul sin tokosra, Bigthana ac Teresh, luo sin mwet eunuch ke lohm sin tokosra su karingin mutunoa in utyak nu infukil sin tokosra, eltal eltal srungal Tokosra Ahasuerus, ac suk inkanek in unilya.
22 And Mordecai, having knowledge of their purpose, sent word of it to Esther the queen; and Esther gave the news to the king in Mordecai's name.
Mordecai el lohngak ac el fahkang nu sel Kasra Esther, na Esther el fahk nu sel tokosra ma Mordecai el fahk nu sel ah.
23 And when the thing had been looked into, it was seen to be true, and the two of them were put to death by hanging on a tree: and it was put down in the records before the king.
Oasr sukiyen ma se inge, ac koneyuyak tuh na pwaye. Ouinge mukul luo ah kewa loksakeyuki ke acn in loksak ah. Tokosra el sapkin in simla ma inge in book in sramsram oa lun tokosrai sac.
