Esther 1
1 In the dayes of Ahashuerosh (this is Ahashuerosh that reigned, from India euen vnto Ethiopia, ouer an hundreth, and seuen and twentie prouinces)
Ma e gima notimore e ndalo loch Ahasuerus, e kinde mane orito pinje mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo chakre India nyaka Kush.
2 In those dayes when the King Ahashuerosh sate on his throne, which was in the palace of Shushan,
E kindeno ruoth Ahasuerus norito loch Kodak e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno mar Susa,
3 In the third yeere of his reigne, he made a feast vnto all his princes and his seruants, euen the power of Persia and Media, and to the captaines and gouernours of the prouinces which were before him,
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.
4 That he might shewe the riches and glorie of his kingdome, and the honour of his great maiestie many dayes, euen an hundreth and foure score dayes.
Kuom ndalo mia achiel gi piero aboro nonyisogi mwandu mathoth mag pinyruodhe gi ber kod teko miwuoro mar lochne.
5 And when these dayes were expired, the King made a feast to all the people that were founde in the palace of Shushan, both vnto great and small, seuen dayes, in the court of the garden of the Kings palace,
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.
6 Vnder an hanging of white, greene, and blue clothes, fastened with cordes of fine linen and purple, in siluer rings, and pillars of marble: the beds were of golde, and of siluer vpon a pauement of porphyre, and marble and alabaster, and blue colour.
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.
7 And they gaue them drinke in vessels of golde, and changed vessel after vessel, and royall wine in abundance according to the power of the King.
Ji ne madho divai gi kikombe mopogore opogore kendo divai ne ngʼeny mana ka mar ruoth adier nikech ne chunye ngʼwon.
8 And the drinking was by an order, none might compel: for so the King had appoynted vnto all the officers of his house, that they should do according to euery mans pleasure.
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.
9 The Queene Vashti made a feast also for the women in the royall house of King Ahashuerosh.
Vashti mikach ruoth bende ne oloso sawo ne mon modak e dala ruoth Ahasuerus.
10 Vpon the seuenth daye when the King was merie with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seuen eunuches, (that serued in the presence of King Ahashuerosh)
Chiengʼ mar abiriyo kane divai oromo ruoth Ahasuerus nochiko jotichne mabwoch abiriyo magin Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar gi Karkas,
11 To bring Queene Vashti before the King with the crowne royall, that he might shewe the people and the princes her beautie: for shee was fayre to looke vpon.
mondo okel Vashti ma mikache ire ka orwako osimbo mar mikach ruoth, kendo mondo onyis ji to gi jotelo kaka ojaber, nikech nober neno.
12 But the Queene Vashti refused to come at the Kings worde, which he had giuen in charge to the eunuches: therefore the King was very angry, and his wrath kindled in him.
To ka joote notero wach ma ruoth nochiko, Vashti ma mikach ruoth notamore dhi. Eka ruoth nobedo makwiny kendo iye nowangʼ ahinya.
13 Then the King said to the wise men, that knew the times (for so was the Kings maner towards all that knew the law and the iudgement:
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,
14 And the next vnto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan the seuen princes of Persia and Media, which sawe the Kings face, and sate the first in the kingdome)
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.
15 What shall we do vnto the Queene Vashti according to the law, because she did not according to the worde of the King Ahashuerosh by the commission of the eunuches?
Nopenjogi niya, “Kaluwore gi chik, angʼo monego timne Vashti ma mikacha? Nikech osedagi winjo chik mar ruoth Ahasuerus mane oorogo jotichne mabwoch ire.”
16 Then Memucan answered before the King and the Princes, The Queene Vashti hath not only done euill against the King, but against all the princes, and against all the people that are in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh.
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.
17 For the acte of the Queene shall come abroade vnto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their owne eyes, and shall say, The King Ahashuerosh comanded Vashti the Queene to be brought in before him, but she came not.
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.’
18 So shall the princesses of Persia and Media this day say vnto all the Kings Princes, when they heare of the acte of the Queene: thus shall there be much despitefulnesse and wrath.
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.
19 If it please the King, let a royal decree proceede from him, and let it be written among the statutes of Persia, and Media, (and let it not be transgressed) that Vashti come no more before King Ahashuerosh: and let the King giue her royal estate vnto her companion that is better then she.
“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.
20 And when the decree of the King which shalbe made, shalbe published throughout all his kingdome (though it be great) all the women shall giue their husbands honour, both great and small.
Eka chik ma ruoth ogolono nolandre pinye duto, kendo mon duto biro luoro chwogi, maonge modongʼ.”
21 And this saying pleased the King and the princes, and the King did according to the worde of Memucan.
Ruoth gi jodonge ne mor gi rieko mane ongʼadni, eka ruoth notimo kaka Memukan nowacho.
22 For he sent letters into all the prouinces of the King, into euery prouince according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their language, that euery man should beare rule in his owne house, and that he should publish it in the language of that same people.
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.
