< Esther 6 >

1 Hiche janchun lengpa chu a-ihmu theipon, hijeh chun avaihomna sunga thilsoh kijehlut thusimbu chu ahinchoi uva akom’a asimdoh diuvin alhacha hokhat thupeh aneitan ahi.
The king passed that night without sleep, and so he ordered the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought to him. And when they were reading them before him,
2 Hiche thilsoh kijihlut na achun lengpa achang’a aumna leng indan’a kot ngah nukiso teni Bigthan le Teresh teni tohgon Mordecai jin ana matdoh na kijihlut chu amudoh tan ahi. Amani chun leng Xerxes chu anatha got lhon ahi.
they came to that place where it had been written, how Mordecai had reported the treachery of Bigthan and Teresh the eunuchs, who desired to cut the throat of king Artaxerxes.
3 “Mordecai hi athilpha bol jeh a kipaman ahilouleh hetpehna ipi kibolpeh am?” tin lengpan adongin ahileh alhachapan adonbut in “Imacha akibolpeh poi,” ati.
When the king had heard this, he said, “What honor and reward has Mordecai been given for this fidelity?” His servants and ministers said to him, “He has received no compensation at all.”
4 “Polang leitola umkhu koiham?” tin lengpan adongin ahi. Hiche aseipet tah chun Haman khopi polam leitol ahung lhung chet in, lengpa kom’a Mordecai chu atundohsa thinglhon chung’a khailih ding phalna thum'a ahung pet tah chu ahi.
And immediately the king said, “Who is in the atrium?” For, you see, Haman was entering the inner atrium of the king’s house to suggest to the king that he should order Mordecai to be hanged on the gallows, which had been prepared for him.
5 Lhachapa chun lengpa chu anadonbut in ahi, “Hamanhi leitol ah kimu pi ding in na ngah e” ati. Lengpan “hinpuilut in” tin thupeh anei tan ahi.
The servants answered, “Haman is standing in the atrium.” And the king said, “Let him enter.”
6 Hiti chun Haman ahunglut in ahileh lengpan aseitai, “Keima eikipasah tahbeh michu itobang jana kapeh ding ham?” ati. Haman amale ama akigellin, “Lengpan jana apehding michu keitailou koidang hiding ham?” tin aki nemlheh in ahi.
And when he had entered, he said to him, “What ought to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” But Haman, thinking in his heart and supposing that the king would honor no one else but himself,
7 Hijeh chun aman hitin adonbut in, “Lengpan mikhattou jana apeh nomma ahileh,
answered, “The man whom the king wishes to honor,
8 Aleng oupe von chu ahin lahdoh ding, lengpa amatah touna sakol aluchanga lengte loupina jem ki-beh ding,
ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and be set upon the horse that the king rides, and receive the royal crown upon his head.
9 Hiche lengte von loupitah chuleh sakol chu lengpa noija vaihom mithupi holah a khatpen khutna pehlut ding ahi. Chuleh lengpan ajabol ding mipa chun lengpa von loupi chu akivon ding lengpa sakol a chu touva khopi sunga chu kaileding ahi. Hiche vaihompa chun ache puma asapding “Lengpan ajabol nompa chu hitiahi kibolding ahi!” tia aseiding ahi,” ati.
And let the first of the king’s rulers and sovereigns hold his horse, and, as they advance through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say, ‘Thus shall he be honored, whom the king decides to honor.’”
10 Lengpan Haman kom’a chun “Apha behseh jenge, gangtah in pon oupe chu choijin lang chule kasakol chu kaijin lang tua nasei tobang bang chun hiche khopi kelkot kom’a tou Mordecai kiti Judate pakhu hiti chun gaboltan. Tua nasei hochu halkhat cha alhinglal umsah hih hellin!” ati.
And the king said to him, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, and do as you have said to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in front of the gate of the palace. Be careful not to omit any of those things which you have mentioned.”
11 Hiti chun Haman in ponloupi chu achoijin Mordecai asilpeh in, lengpa sakol a chun atousah in, khopi leitol lachun akailen “Lengpan ajabolnom michu hitia hi kibolding ahi” tin asammin ahi.
And so Haman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mordecai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, he went before him and cried out, “He is worthy of this honor, whom the king has decided to honor.”
12 Hiche jouchun Mordecai chu khopi kelkouna chun akile kit in, Haman vangchu kisuhnemna noinung pen’in akisunemmin jumthet in a-in na akile kittai.
And Mordecai returned to the palace door. And Haman hurried to go to his house, mourning and hiding his head.
13 Haman in thilsoh hochu ajinule aloi agolho aseipeh phat in ama thumop a pang miching hole ajinu chun asei tai, “Tunia najumso pa Mordecai hi pen danna Judate ahijeh'in amadouna natoh gonhi lolhing joupon nate. Ama nakidoupi jomleh nathilo ding ahibouve” atipeh taove.
And he explained to Zeresh his wife and to his friends all that had happened to him. And the wise men, whom he held in counsel, and his wife, answered him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is from the offspring of the Jews, you will not be able to withstand him, but you will fall in his sight.”
14 Amaho hitiahi akihoupet’un lengpa dinga nukiso ho ahunglhung un gangtah in Haman chu Esther golvah ankonga dingin ahung pui tauve.
As they were still speaking, the king’s eunuchs arrived and compelled him to go quickly to the feast, which the queen had prepared.
