Esther 7
1 Manghai neh Haman te manghainu Esther neh ok hamla cet.
So the king and Haman came to banquet 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 unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine: 'Whatever thy petition, queen Esther, it shall be granted thee; and whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be performed.'
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.
Then Esther the queen answered and said: 'If I have found favour 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 peace, for the adversary is not worthy that the king be endamaged.'
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.
Then spoke the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen: 'Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in 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: 'An adversary and an enemy, even 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 arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman remained 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.
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king: 'Will he even force the queen before me in the house?' As the word went out of the king's mouth, 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.
Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king: 'Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman.' And the king said: 'Hang him thereon.'
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. Then was the king's wrath assuaged.
