Esther 4
1 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
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 came even before the king’s gate: for none [might] enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.
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, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, [there was] great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
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 So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told [it] her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received [it] not.
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 Then called Esther for Hatach, [one] of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it [was], and why it [was].
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 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which [was] before the king’s gate.
Hathach el som nu yorol Mordecai ke nien toeni lun mwet uh ke mutun lohm sel tokosra.
7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries 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 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew [it] unto Esther, and to declare [it] unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request 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 came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Hathach el oru oana,
10 Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
ac Esther el fahk elan folokla ac fahk kas inge nu sel Mordecai:
11 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, [there is] one law of his to put [him] to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but 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 told to Mordecai Esther’s words.
Ke Mordecai el lohng kas inge sel Esther,
13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, 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 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, [then] shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for [such] a time as this?
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 Then Esther bade [them] return Mordecai [this answer],
Esther el supwala kas in top inge nu sel Mordecai:
16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which [is] not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
“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 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Na Mordecai el som, ac oru ma nukewa ma Esther el sap elan oru.
