Esther 4

1 Mordecai jin hitobanga thilsoh hi ahetdoh phat in, apon abot’eh in khaodip pon aki ah in vut akinun, chuin khopi achun alhailut in awging tah le lungna tah in apengjah jeng tan ahi.

Now when Mordecai found out all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and wailed loudly and a bitterly.

2 Hiti chun ama khopi kelkot geijin ache in ahi, ajehchu hitobanga lung hesohna von pum in koima khopi kelkotna lutthei lou ahi.

He came even before the King's Gate, for no one is allowed inside the King's Gate clothed with sackcloth.

3 Chuleh hiche lengpa dan aga kiphondoh na gambih jousea chun Judate ho lah a lunghem na nasatah alhungtai. Amahon an angol’un, akap un, aping un, chuleh mitamtah in vut akinu uvin khaodip pon akisil un ahi.

In every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

4 Lengnu Esther jenle nungah holeh nukisohon Mordecai umchan chu aseipeh phat un, ama jong alungkham lheh jengtan ahi. Amanun khaodip pon akisil khella akisil dingin pon agah thotnin ahinla Mordecai chu anompon ahi.

Esther's maidens and her eunuchs came and told her this, and the queen was exceedingly grieved. She sent clothing to Mordecai, to replace his sackcloth; but he did not receive it.

5 Hiche jou chun Esther in lengpa dinga nukiso holah a ama lhacha dinga kipansah pa Hathach chu akouvin, Mordecai chun ipi hahsatna atoh ham chule ibola lunggim tah a uma ham ti gakholdoh dingin asol tan ahi.

Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs, whom he had appointed to attend her, and commanded him to go to Mordecai, to find out what this was, and why it was.

6 Hijeh chun Hathach chu khopi kelkot mai lang leitol a um Mordecai kom’a chun agachen ahi.

So Hathach went out to Mordecai, to city square which was before the King's Gate.

7 Mordecai in thusoh ho jouse leh Judate suhmang’a aumna dinga Haman in sum ijat lengte sumkhol na a dinga atodoh got ham tichu hoitah in ana seipeh soh keijin ahi.

Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

8 Judate jouse kisuh mangna dinga Susa khopi sunga kisodoh dan lekha pehkhat chu Hathach anapen ahi. Aman hiche lekha chu Esther anavetsah ding chuleh thil umdan chu hoitah a ahilchet dingin Hathach chu agah ngan sen ahi. Aman Hathach jah a chun Esther chu sollin lang lengpa kom’a amite inging a taohen ati.

He also gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to urge her to go in to the king, to make petition to him, and to make request before him, for her people.

9 Hiti chun Hathach chu Mordecai jin angan sena pumchun Esther kom’a chun ahung kile tai.

Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

10 Hiche jouchun Esther in Mordecai kom’a, athu lepoh dingin Hathach chu asolkit in ahi.

Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a message to Mordecai:

11 “Lengpa vaipo hole gambih hoa cheng mipiho jouse jengin jong, koihileh lengpan akou hilouva lengpa kom’a lut aum a ahileh lengpan a sana tenggol ahin lhunlut louleh thitei tei ding ahi ti hi mijousen ahet khatchu ahi. Tuhin lengpan eikou louna ni somthum alhingtai” ati.

"All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, know, that whoever, whether man or woman, comes to the king into the inner court without being called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king might hold out the golden scepter, that he may live. I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days."

12 Hathach chun Esther thusei chu Mordecai kom alhut kittai.

They told to Mordecai Esther's words.

13 Mordecai in Esther chu adonbutna alethot in; “Khopi sunga naum man in Judate jouse akitha gamteng kihoidoh nante tin kigel hih in.

Then Mordecai asked them return answer to Esther, "Do not think to yourself that you will escape in the king's house any more than all the Jews.

14 Hitobang phat nahi thipbeh a naum a ahileh, hoilang ham khatna kon ahi Judate tedinga hoidoh nale olna hungsohdoh ding, amavang nangle nainsung mite thiding ahi. Kon ija ahetn em hitobang phatna ding jeh’a hi lengnu mun nalo hithei tah ahi!”

For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Who knows if you haven't come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

15 Hichejou chun Esther in Mordecai chu hiti hin thu athot kitne;

Then Esther asked them to answer Mordecai,

16 “Susa khopia um Judate jouse gakoukhom inlang keidingin an-ngollin hungtao vun. Nithum sungin anjong nelou twijong donlouvin asun ajan in um un. Kanungah hole kenjong hitima chu kaboldiu ahi. Hiche jouteng chuleh dan in aphallou hijongleh, kathile kathi, kahinle kahin, lengpa kom’a kagalut ding ahi,” atipeh tai.

"Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."

17 Hiti chun Mordecai apotdoh in Esther in ahin thupeh dungjui chet chun aga boltai.

So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
