Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Now on the third day, Esther put on her royal clothing and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.
1Ke len in lalo se aktolu, Esther el nokomang nuknuk in kasra lal ac som ac tu inkalkal se oan loac ke lohm sel tokosra, ac ngetang nu ke infukil lun tron. Tokosra el muta infukil sac fin tron lal, ac ngetang nu ke nien utyak ah.
2When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter.
2Ke pacl se tokosra el liyalak Kasra Esther lah el tu lik ah, insial insewowo sel, ac el asroeang scepter gold soko ah nu sel. Na Kasra Esther el utyak ac kahlya mutun scepter gold soko ah.
3Then the king asked her, “What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.”
3Tokosra el siyuk, “Kasra Esther, mea kom lungse— Fahk nu sik lah mea kom enenu, na ac fah itukot nu sum, finne tafu tokosrai luk.”
4Esther said, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
4Esther el topuk ac fahk, “Fin wo sin tokosra, nga kena suli tokosra ac Haman nu ke sie kufwa nga akoo nu suwos oyeku.”
5Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
5Na tokosra el sapla nu yorol Haman elan sulaklak tuku, eltal in som fal nu ke solsol lal Esther. Ouinge tokosra ac Haman som nu ke kufwa se Esther el akoela nu selos.
6The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
6Ke pacl se eltal nim wain, tokosra el siyuk sel Esther, “Fahk nu sik ma kom lungse, ac nga ac fah sot nu sum. Kom finne siyuk ke tafu tokosrai luk, ac fah itukot nu sum.”
7Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this.
7Esther el topuk,
8If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said.”
8“Fin wo sin Tokosra, ac Tokosra fin insewowo in lohng mwe siyuk luk, nga kena tuh Tokosra ac Haman in tuku nu ke sie pac kufwa nga akoo nu suwos lutu. In pacl sacn nga ac fah fahk nu sin Tokosra ma nga enenu.”
9Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he didn’t stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
9Ke Haman el tuyak liki kufwa uh, el arulana engan ac insewowo. Tusruktu el liyalak Mordecai ke nien utyak nu ke inkul sin tokosra, ac ke Mordecai el tiana tuyak ku akkalemye sunakinyal ke el alukella, Haman el foloyak sel.
10Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
10Tusruktu el tiana akkalemye toasr lal, ac el folokla nu lohm sel. Na el pangoneni mwet kawuk lal nu in lohm sel, ac solalma Zeresh, mutan kial, elan tuku welulos.
11Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
11El konkin nu selos ke lupan kasrup lal, pusiyen wen natul, ac ke tokosra el tuh kilukunulak nu ke sie kunokon fulat, ac ke arulana yohk sripal liki leum saya lun tokosra.
12Haman also said, “Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.
12Haman el tafwela mu, “Sayen ma inge, Kasra Esther el tuh akoo sie kufwa, tia nu sin kutena mwet, a nu sik ac tokosra mukena, na el sifilpa suli kut nu lutu.
13Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
13Tusruktu ma inge nukewa ma pilasr sik ke nga srakna liyel Mordecai, mwet Jew sac, muta ke nien utyak nu inkul fulat sin tokosra.”
14Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet.” This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
14Ke ma inge, mutan kial ac mwet kawuk lal elos fahk nu sel, “Efu kom ku tia sap in musaiyukla sie nien loksak, ke fit itngoul limekosr fulata— Lututang kom ku in siyuk sel tokosra elan sapkin tuh Mordecai elan sripsripyak kac, na kom ac engan ac som nu ke kufwa ah.” Haman el eis mu nunak na wowo se, ouinge el sapkin in musala nien loksak se.
