< 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.
That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought 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 was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus.
3 “Mordecai hi athilpha bol jeh a kipaman ahilouleh hetpehna ipi kibolpeh am?” tin lengpan adongin ahileh alhachapan adonbut in “Imacha akibolpeh poi,” ati.
And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward 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 the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king’s house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet which was 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: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in.
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 was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself,
7 Hijeh chun aman hitin adonbut in, “Lengpan mikhattou jana apeh nomma ahileh,
Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,
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 to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have 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 princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
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: Make haste and take the robe and the horse, and do as thou hast spoken to Mardochai the Jew, who sitteth before the gates of the palace. Beware thou pass over any of those things which thou hast spoken.
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.
So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
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.
But Mardochai returned to the palace gate: and Aman made haste to go to his house, mourning and having his head covered:
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 told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt 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 yet speaking, the king’s eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared.
