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.
When, Mordecai, came to know all that had been done, Mordecai rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, and ashes, —and went forth into the midst of the city, and cried out with an outcry loud and bitter;
2 Hiti chun ama khopi kelkot geijin ache in ahi, ajehchu hitobanga lung hesohna von pum in koima khopi kelkotna lutthei lou ahi.
and went in as far as before the gate of the king, —for, none, might enter into the gate of the king, 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.
And, throughout every province, whithersoever the word of the king and his edict came, was great mourning to the Jews, and fasting and weeping, and lamentation, —sackcloth and ashes, were spread out for many.
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.
So the maidens of Esther and her eunuchs went in and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish, —and sent garments to clothe Mordecai, and to remove his sackcloth from off him, but he accepted them not.
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 called Esther for Hathach, one of the eunuchs of the king whom he had stationed before her, and charged him, concerning Mordecai, —to get to know what this was, and why this was.
6 Hijeh chun Hathach chu khopi kelkot mai lang leitol a um Mordecai kom’a chun agachen ahi.
So Hathach went forth unto Mordecai, —in the broadway of the city, which was before the gate of the king.
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.
And Mordecai told him all that had befallen him, —and an exact statement of the silver, that Haman had promised to weigh out unto the treasuries of the king, for the Jews, to destroy them.
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.
Also, a copy of the writing of the edict which had been given in Shusan to destroy them, gave he unto him, to shew unto Esther, and to tell her, —and to lay charge upon her, to go in unto the king—to make supplication unto 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.
And Hathach came in and told Esther, the words of Mordecai.
10 Hiche jouchun Esther in Mordecai kom’a, athu lepoh dingin Hathach chu asolkit in ahi.
Then spake Esther unto Hathach, —and gave him charge, unto 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 servants of the king, and the people of the provinces of the king, do know, that, whatsoever man or woman shall go in unto the king—into the inter court—who hath not been called, one, is his law, to put him to death, saving any to whom the king may hold out the golden sceptre, who then shall live, —but, I, have not been called to go in unto the king, these thirty days.
12 Hathach chun Esther thusei chu Mordecai kom alhut kittai.
And they told Mordecai, the words of Esther.
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 commanded to answer Esther, —Do not think in thine own soul, to escape in the house of the king from among 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!”
But, if thou, do indeed hold thy peace, at this time, respite and deliverance, will be appointed for the Jews, from another place, but, thou, and thy father’s house, will perish, —and who knoweth whether, for a time such as this, thou hast attained unto the royal estate?
15 Hichejou chun Esther in Mordecai chu hiti hin thu athot kitne;
Then Esther commanded, 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 ye together all the Jews who are to be found in Shusan, and fast ye for me—and neither eat nor drink—three days, night nor day, and, I and my maidens, will fast so, —and, in this manner, will I go in unto the king, though it is not according to the law, and, when I have perished, I have perished!
17 Hiti chun Mordecai apotdoh in Esther in ahin thupeh dungjui chet chun aga boltai.
So Mordecai departed, —and did according to all that Esther had charged upon him.
