Esther 3
1 Phat chomkhat jouvin leng Xerxes in Agag mipa Hamadatha chapa Haman chu atohmun akalsah in amithupi holah a achungnung pen’in apansah in, aleng gamsunga vaihom ho jouse lah a thanei pen’in apansah tan ahi.
After these things King Achashyerosh promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the officials who were with him.
2 Lengpa dinga vaipo ho jousen lengpa thupeh dungjuija Haman masanga hi dilsu sohkei diu jana apeh chehdiu ahi. Ahinlah Mordecai hi adilsu nompon jana jong ape nompon ahi.
All the king's servants who were in the King's Gate bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down or pay him homage.
3 Hichejou hin lengpa kelkot kom’a um lengpa khopi vaipo a panghon Mordecai jah a, “Nang in ipi dinga lengpa thupeh nanit louham?” atiuvin ahi.
Then the king's servants, who were in the King's Gate, said to Mordecai, "Why do you disobey the king's commandment?"
4 Amahon niseh in aseipeh jengun ahinlah aman thupeh chu ajuideh pon ahi. Hijeh chun amahon Mordecai chu Judate ahi chu ahet utoh kilhon chun Haman chun i-alo am ti in Mordecai umchan chu Haman chu aseipeh un ahi.
Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
5 Haman in Modecai chun a-anga abohkhup lou chuleh jana apehlou chu amun alung ahang lheh jeng tan ahi.
When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
6 Aman Mordecai chu koi nam mi ahi ti ahin hetdoh phat in, Mordecai chung seh seh a thilse bolding chu ahin sit tan ahi. Hijeh chun Xerxes lenggam pumpin Judate te jouse suhmang dingin ahin gongtan ahi.
But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai's people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Achashyerosh, even Mordecai's people.
7 Hiti chun leng Xerxes vaipoh kum somni le kumni channa Lhatun lhasung in athilgon ho tohdoh na dinga hi ipi lhapen lhasungin phading ham tichu Haman kom’a vangvetna ana um'in ahi (Hiche vangvetna chu Purim akiti). Anikho kilhengdoh chu alha Lhakao lha nisagi ni ahin, hiche nikho chu kumkhat jou anahi.
In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Achashyerosh, they cast Pur (that is, the lot) before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
8 Hijouchun Haman in leng Xerxes kom’a chun achen aga sei tai, “Naleng gamsunga hin namchom jatkhat aum in ama hohi gambih jousea hin akithe thangsoh hellun, chule midanga konin atumbeh in aumin ahi. Amahon midanga toh kibanglou dan chombeh aneiyun, lengpa na dan sem jonghi anit pouvin ahi. Hijeh chun amaho hinghoi ding lengpa dingin thilpha hiponte,” ati peh tai.
Haman said to King Achashyerosh, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people's. They do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them to remain.
9 “Hijeh chun lengpa nalung lhaina ahiding leh amaho hi suhmangna dingin dan khat semdoh jengin lang hiche din tongdoh ding hochu keiman dangka talent sang som pe nange, amahon hiche lengpa sumkholna insunga koinao vinte.” ati.
If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries."
10 Lengpan aphatsah in, athulhuh nachu suhdetna in akhutna kon in akhutjem aladoh in Agag mipa Hammedatha chapa Haman Judate galmipa kom’a chun apetan ahi.
The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
11 Lengpan aseijin, “Hiche sum chuleh mipi hochu nang khutna aum’e phante nati dan dannin boltan” ati.
The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."
12 Hiti chun Lhatun nidan nisom le nisagi ni hin lengpa lekha sun hochu akoukhom un chuleh Haman dei dungjuitah chun dan khat jihdoh in aumtai. Hiche chu lengpa vaihom lenpen ho, gambih a gamvaipo ho, chuleh gambih jousea milen milal ho, amaho lekha jemleh apaocheh un akijihdoh in ahi. Hiche dan chu leng Xerxes min in akijih in achunga lengpa mohor chu akinam khum in ahi.
Then the king's scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the officials of every people, to every province according its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Achashyerosh, and it was sealed with the king's ring.
13 Hiche lekha hochu gangtah a aga hopdoh loi diuvin thupole a pangho chu akisoldoh in, amahon lenggam sunga gambih ho jousea agahomdoh un Judate ho jouse khangdonga patna tehse gei, numei chapang puma nikhat sunga thadoh ding, suhmang chuleh suhbeihel ding ahi akiti. Hiche kinhi kumkit alha Lhakao ni sagi nia tohdoh teidinga thupeh ahi. Hitobanga kithat Judate ho thilkeo chu athat ho chang ding ahiuve.
Letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
14 Hiche dan kijihna lekha hi gambih jousea thot-lut sohding chuleh mijouse lekha phondoh ding hitia chu akitep nikho ahunglhung teng tohdoh jeng theina diuva kigong ahi.
A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
15 Lengpa thupeh a kon in, dan kisodoh hochu thupole hon gangtah a ahopdoh diu, Susa khopia akiphongdoh tai. Hiche jouchun lengpa le Haman atou lhonin adonkhom lhontai; ahinla Susa khopia mipite lah achun lungkham nale boina alhungtai.
The couriers went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
