ESTHER 7
1 Manghai neh Haman te manghainu Esther neh ok hamla cet.
And the king and Haman came to drink with Esther the queen.
2 Buhkoknah a hnin bae dongkah misurtui a ok bal vaengah tah manghai loh Esther te, “Manghainu Esther nang kah huithuinah te menim? Nang ham mpaek bitni. Na kueknah te ram rhakthuem hil pataeng han suem bitni,” a ti nah.
And the king said again to Esther on the second day, at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be done.
3 Esther manghainu loh a doo tih, “Manghai nang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka hmuh atah, manghai ham a then mak atah ka huithuinah bangla, ka kueknah bangla, kamah neh ka pilnam kah hinglu ham kai taengah bet n'rhen mai.
And Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found grace in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request;
4 Kamah khaw, ka pilnam khaw, mitmoeng sak ham neh ngawn ham khaw, milh sak ham n'yoih uh coeng. Salnu, salpa bangla n'yoih uh. Manghai kah pocinah ham rhal neh a tluk pawt dongah hil ka phah,” a ti nah.
for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the adversary could not compensate the king's damage.
5 Manghai Ahasuerus te cal tih Esther manghainu taengah, “Anih te unim? Anih te melae? Te bang te saii ham a lungbuei aka hah te unim?” a ti nah.
And king Ahasuerus spoke and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he that has filled his heart to do so?
6 Te vaengah Esther loh, “Tekah hlang tah rhal neh thunkha boethae Haman ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Haman tah manghai neh manghainu mikhmuh ah let coeng.
And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
7 Manghai khaw buhkoknah misurtui kung lamloh a kosi neh thoo tih impuei dum la cet. Tedae Haman tah boethae loh manghai taeng lamkah amah a khah te a hmuh dongah a hinglu kongah manghainu Esther te hloep ham pai pueng.
And the king in his wrath rose up from the banquet of wine, [and went] into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to make request for his life to Esther the queen, for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 Te phoeiah manghai te impuei dum lamloh buhkoknah im kah misurtui kung la mael. Te vaengah Haman te Esther kah a thingkong soah ana bakop pah. Te dongah manghai loh, “Im khui kah kamah taeng nawn ah manghainu te na khoh ham bal a?” a ti nah. Manghai ka lamloh ol a thoeng neh Haman maelhmai khaw a thing uh coeng.
And the king returned out of the palace garden into the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman was fallen upon the couch on which Esther was. And the king said, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? The word went forth out of the king's mouth, and they covered Haman's face.
9 Te vaengah imkhoem rhoek khui lamkah pakhat Harbona loh manghai mikhmuh ah, “Haman loh Mordekai ham thing a saii coeng ke. Te te Haman im ah dong sawmnga a sang la pai tih manghai ham tah hnothen la a thui,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai loh, “Te dongah te amah kuiok sak,” a ti nah.
And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold, also, the gallows fifty cubits high, that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, stands in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him on it!
10 Mordekai ham a tawn pah thing dongah Haman te a kuiok sak uh van daengah ni manghai kah kosi khaw a daeh pueng.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. And the king's wrath was appeased.
