Esther 8

1 On that day, King Achashyerosh gave the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.

Chiengʼno ruoth Ahasuerus nomiyo Esta mwandu mag Haman, jasik jo-Yahudi. Kendo Modekai nobiro e nyim ruoth, nimar Esta nosenyise ni en watne.

2 The king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

Ruoth nogolo terene mane oyudo osegolo kuom Haman, mi nomiyo Modekai. Kendo Esta nokete mondo orit mwandu mane mag Haman.

3 Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and begged him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his plot that he had devised against the Jews.

Esta nochako ohombo ruoth mopodho e tiende koywak. Ne okwaye mondo oketh chenro marach mane Haman ja-Agag oseloso, mondo otimne jo-Yahudi.

4 Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.

Eka ruoth notingʼo ludhe mar dhahabu ne Esta bangʼe noa malo mochungʼ e nyim ruoth.

5 She said, "If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

Nowacho niya, “Ka ber ne ruoth kendo ka ayudo ngʼwono e wangʼi kendo kiparo ni en gima ber timo kendo ka imor koda, to yie mondo igol chik mondiki maketho mano mane Haman wuod Hamedatha, ja-Agag oketo mondo otiek jo-Yahudi e gwenge duto ma ruoth orito.

6 For how can I endure to see the disaster that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?"

Nimar ere kaka dalingʼ alingʼa ka aneno masira mabiro ne ogandana? Kata ere kaka dalingʼ alingʼa ka aneno ka idwaro tiek joodwa.”

7 Then King Achashyerosh said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, "See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.

Ruoth Ahasuerus nodwoko Esta ma mikache gi Modekai ma ja-Yahudi niya, Nikech Haman ne obuko jo-Yahudi ma ema omiyo asemiyo Esta mwandune, to en to osenege, kongʼawe e yath.

8 Write also to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may not be reversed by any man."

Koro ndik chik machielo gi nying ruoth kar jo-Yahudi kaka ineno ni berni, kendo iketie sei mar nying ruoth bangʼe ketie ranyisi mar tere mar ruoth, nimar gik moko duto mondiki e nying ruoth kendo oketie tere mar ruoth ok nyal loki kata kethi.

9 Then the king's scribes were called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of the month; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and officials of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing, and in their language.

Kuom mano, noluong jondiko mag ruoth chiengʼ tarik piero ariyo gadek dwe mar adek miluongo ni Sivan. Negindiko weche duto mane Modekai ochiko ne ondiki ne jo-Yahudi, askeche, jotelo, kod joka ruoth modak e pinje mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabiriyo kochakore e piny India nyaka chop Kush. Chikegi nondiki e dhok mar piny ka piny kata mana mar jo-Yahudi bende nondiki e dhogi giwegi.

10 He wrote in the name of King Achashyerosh, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by courier on horseback, riding on royal horses that were bread from swift steeds.

Modekai nondiko gi teko mar ruoth Ahasuerus mokete sei gi tere mar ruoth bangʼe nooro barupego gi jongʼwech maringo matek koidho farese mag ruoth.

11 In those letters, the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to defend their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions,

Chik mane ruoth ogolono noyiene jo-Yahudi man e mier madongo duto mondo giritre kendgi; kendo mondo giketh kendo ginegi mi gitieki joma obiro nigi gi gige lweny moa e oganda moro amora, kata gwengʼ moro momonjogi gi mondgi gi nyithindgi kendo gipe mwandu mag wasikgi.

12 on one day in all the provinces of King Achashyerosh, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

Chiengʼ mane oyier ne jo-Yahudi mondo otimie magi e gwenge duto mag pinyruodh Ahasuerus ne en tarik apar gadek dwe mar apar gariyo dwe miluongo ni Adar.

13 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

Chikno nyaka landi e pinje duto kendo ne ogendini duto, mondo jo-Yahudi oikre ne chiengʼ chulo kuor ne wasikgi.

14 So the couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. The decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan.

Joote mane oidho farese maka ruoth noringo matek kadhi kaluwore gi chik mane ruoth ogolo. Milomeno bende nogo e ohinga mar Susa.

15 Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.

Modekai nowuok e nyim ruoth korwakore gi law marambulu mokikore gi rachar, osimbo mar duongʼ mar dhahabu, to gi kandho maralik molos law mayom. Kendo dala maduongʼ mar Susa notimo nyasi gi mor malich.

16 The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor.

To ne jo-Yahudi, ne en kinde mar mor, gi ilo kod pak.

17 In every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast, and a good day. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on them.

Kamoro amora e gwenge kendo e mier madongo kuonde mane barup ruoth oterie, jo-Yahudi nobedo gi mor ahinya kane giyweyo kendo gitimo nyasi. Joma ok jo-Yahudi nobedo ka jo-Yahudi nikech luoro mar jo-Yahudi nomakogi.
