Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before him,
1In fong sacna, tokosra el tia ku in motulla, ouinge el sap in utuku book in sim mwe esmakin lun tokosrai uh, ac ritiyuk nu sel.
2They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus.
2Ipin mwe rit se elos riti ah ma ke sramsram kacl Mordecai, ke el tuh konauk sie inkanek sulallal in akmuselya tokosra. Nunak sulallal sac orek sel Bigthana ac Teresh, luo sin mwet eunuch su karingin mutunoa in utyak nu infukil sel tokosra.
3And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all.
3Na tokosra el siyuk, “Akfulat fuka ac srui fuka kut tuh oru nu sel Mordecai ke ma el orala inge?” Mwet kulansap lal topuk mu, “Wanginna ma orekla nu sel.”
4And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king’s house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet which was prepared for him.
4Na tokosra el siyuk, “Su sin mwet fulat luk oasr inkul uh?” In pacl sacna Haman el utyak inkalkal sin tokosra. El tuku in siyuk sel tokosra tuh Mordecai elan sripsripyak ke nien loksak se ma akoeyukla tari.
5The servants answered: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in.
5Ouinge mwet kulansap elos topuk, “Haman el oasr inge. El ke osun nu sum.” Tokosra el fahk, “Sap elan utyak.”
6And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself,
6Ouinge Haman el utyak, ac tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Oasr mwet se nga arulana ke akfulatye. Mea fal in orek nu sin mwet se inge?” Haman el nunku sel sifacna, “Acna su tokosra el ke akfulatye inge— Kalem na lah nga.”
7Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,
7Ouinge Haman el fahk nu sel tokosra, “Nu sin mwet se su tokosra el lungse akfulatye,
8Ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head,
8lela in utuku nuknuk lun tokosra sifacna, ac soko horse ma tokosra el muta fac tari, ac tefuro lun tokosra in oan fin sifen horse soko ah.
9And let the first of the king’s princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
9Na sang nu sin sie mwet wal fulat lom in nokmulang ke nuknuk lun tokosra inge, ac pwen mwet sac ke el muta fin horse, elan fahsr sasla in kalkal lun siti uh. Mwet fulat sac in fahsr sulkakin inkanek uh, ‘Liye luman akfulat lun tokosra nu sin sie su el lungse akfulatye!’”
10And the king said to him: Make haste and take the robe and the horse, and do as thou hast spoken to Mardochai the Jew, who sitteth before the gates of the palace. Beware thou pass over any of those things which thou hast spoken.
10Na tokosra el fahk nu sel Haman, “Aksaye ac akoela nuknuk lun tokosra ac soko horse, ac oru mwe akfulat inge nu sel Mordecai, mwet Jew. Oru ma nukewa nu sel oana ke kom fahk an. Kom ac konalak el muta ke acn in utyak nu inkul sin tokosra.”
11So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
11Ke ma inge Haman el eis nuknuk uh ac horse soko ah, ac nokmulang Mordecai. Mordecai el sroang nu fin horse uh, ac Haman el pwanul fahsr sasla inkanek lun siti uh, ac sulkakin, “Liye luman akfulat lun tokosra nu sin sie su el lungse akfulatye!”
12But Mardochai returned to the palace gate: and Aman made haste to go to his house, mourning and having his head covered:
12Tukun ma inge, Mordecai el folokla nu ke nien utyak nu ke inkul sin tokosra. A Haman el afinya mutal ke mwekin lal ac sulaklak folokla nu lohm sel.
13And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight.
13El fahk nu sin mutan kial ac kawuk lal kewa ke ma nukewa ma sikyak nu sel. Na mutan kial ac mwet kawuk lalmwetmet lal fahk nu sel, “Mutawauk in munasla ku lom sel Mordecai. El mwet Jew se, ac kom tia ku in kutangulla. Pwayena lah el ac kutangkomla.”
14As they were yet speaking, the king’s eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared.
14Ke elos srakna kaskas, mwet eunuch lun inkul sin tokosra tuku, ac salkal Haman nu ke kufwa su Esther el akoela.
