< Esther 2 >

1 After these things, when the wrath of King Ahashuerosh was appeased, he remembred Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
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 And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, Let them seeke for the King beautifull yong virgins,
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 And let the King appoynt officers through all the prouinces of his kingdome, and let them gather all the beautiful yong virgins vnto the palace of Shushan, into the house of the women, vnder the hand of Hege the Kings eunuche, keeper of the women, to giue them their things for purification.
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 the mayde that shall please the King, let her reigne in the steade of Vashti. And this pleased the King, 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 In the citie of Shushan, there was a certaine Iewe, whose name was Mordecai the sonne of Iair, the sonne of Shimei, the sonne of Kish a man of Iemini,
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 Which had bene caryed away from Ierusalem with the captiuitie that was caryed away with Ieconiah King of Iudah (whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel had caryed 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 nourished Hadassah, that is Ester, his vncles daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the mayde was fayre, and beautifull to looke on: and after the death of her father, and her mother, Mordecai tooke her for his own 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 And when the Kings commandement, and his decree was published, and many maydes were brought together to the palace of Shushan, vnder the hand of Hege, Ester was brought also vnto the Kings house vnder the hande of Hege 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 the mayde pleased him, and she founde fauour in his sight: therefore he caused her things for purification to be giuen her speedily, and her state, and seuen comely maides to be giuer her out of the Kings house, and he gaue change to her and to her maydes of the best in the house of the women.
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 But Ester shewed not her people and her kinred: for Mordecai had charged her, that shee should not tell it.
Fal nu ke kas in kasru lal Mordecai, Esther el tiana fahkak nu sin kutena mwet lah el sie mwet Jew.
11 Aud Mordecai walked euery day before the court of the womens house, to knowe if Ester did well, and what should be done with 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 And when the course of euery mayd came, to go in to King Ahashuerosh, after that she had bene twelue moneths according to the maner of the women (for so were the dayes of their purifications accomplished, sixe moneths with oyle of myrrhe, and sixe moneths with sweete odours and in the purifying of the women:
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 thus went the maides vnto the King) whatsoeuer she required, was giuen her, to go with her out of the womens house vnto ye kings house.
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 euening she went, and on the morow she returned into the second house of the women vnder the hand of Shaashgaz the Kings eunuche, which kept the concubines: shee came in to the King no more, except shee pleased the King, and that she were called by name.
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 course of Ester the daughter of Abihail the vncle of Mordecai (which had taken her as his owne daughter) came, that shee should go in to the King, she desired nothing, but what Hege the Kings eunuche the keeper of the women sayde: and Ester founde fauour in the sight of all them that looked vpon 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 Ester was taken vnto King Ahashuerosh into his house royall in the tenth moneth, which is the moneth Tebeth, in the seuenth yeere of his reigne.
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 the King loued Ester aboue all the women, and shee founde grace and fauour in his sight more then all the virgins: so that he set the crowne of the kingdome vpon her head, and made her Queene instead 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 made a great feast vnto all his princes, and his seruants, which was the feast of Ester, and gaue rest vnto the prouinces, and gaue gifts, according to the power of a King.
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 whe the virgins were gathered ye second time, then Mordecai sate in the Kings gate.
In pacl sac pacna, tokosra el srisrngilya Mordecai nu ke sie orekma fulat.
20 Ester had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people, as Mordecai had charged her: for Ester did after the worde of Mordecai, as when she was nourished 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 dayes whe Mordecai sate in the Kings gate, two of the Kings eunuches, Bigthan and Teresh, which kept the doore, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the King Ahashuerosh.
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 the thing was knowen to Mordecai, and he tolde it vnto Queene Ester, and Ester certified the King thereof in Mordecais 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 inquisition was made, it was found so: therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the booke of the Chronicles 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.
