Esther 7
1 Hiti chun lengpa le Haman chu lengnu Esther golvahna ankong a dingin ache lhontai.
So the king and Haman went to dine with Esther the queen,
2 Anivei channa kin ahin ankong aum uva ju adonpet uhin lengpan lengnu Esther koma asei kittai, “Lengnu Esther ipi nadei ham neiseipeh tan, ipiham nathum nom chu? Kalenggam akehkhat hijongleh kapeh ding nahi!” ati.
and as they drank their wine on that second day, the king asked once more, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
3 Lengnu Esther in adonbut nin, “Lengpa na mikhoto nahi kachanna chuleh lengpan kathil thum hi neipeh inghy nalung lhaina ahileh, kei hinkho leh kamite hinkhohi hoidoh teijin.
Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, grant me my life as my petition, and the lives of my people as my request.
4 Ajehchu kamite le keima hi eithatgo ho kom’a suhmang dingleh thagam dingin eikijohdoh taove. Keihohi sohding maimaija eikijoh doh uva hileh thipbeh a kaumdiu ahi, ajehchu hiti themma chu lengpa kasuhboi nomlou ahi.” Ati
For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as menservants and maidservants, I would have remained silent, because no such distress would justify burdening the king.”
5 “Koipen ham hitobang bolla chu? Nangma tongkhaleu va hitobang bolla chu koi ham?” tin Leng Xerxes in adongtai.
Then King Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”
6 Esther in adonbut in, “Hiche miphaloupa Haman eidouvu le kagalmi paohi hijahime!” Haman chun lengpa le lengnu kom’a chun amai adangleo jengtan ahi.
Esther replied, “The adversary and enemy is this wicked man—Haman!” And Haman stood in terror before the king and queen.
7 Hiche jouchun lengpa chu lunghang tah in adingdoh in khopi honlei langa chun apotdoh tan ahi. Haman vangchu lengnu Esther in ahinkho ahuhdohna dinga tao dingin aumden tan ahi, ajehchu lengpan amachu ahinghoi louding akihet ahitai.
In his fury, the king arose from drinking his wine and went to the palace garden, while Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king was planning a terrible fate for him.
8 Alungkham man’in lengnu lupna chunga chun abohkhup jengtan ahileh lengpa khopi honlei langa konna ahung kilekit langtoh akitoh khan ahi. Lengpan asamjah jengin, “Amahin kamaikoh tah jenga jong lengnu hi hitia hi adelkhum jeng ding hitam? Lengpa agah paodoh jouchun alhacha hon Haman chu amanthah nading vetsahnan amai pon in akhu taove.
Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9 Hiche jou chu lengpa dinga nukiso khat Harbona atiuchun ahin seijin, “Haman hin thinglhon amuh hemkhat feet sam sagi le nga a sao aleitolla akoije ati. Hiche chu aman lengpa min athana dinga ana huhdohpa Mordecai chu thana dinga anagon chu ahi. “Hichu ahileh hichea chun Haman chu khailih taovin,” tin lengpan thupeh aneitai.
Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said: “There is a gallows fifty cubits high at Haman’s house. He had it built for Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the king.” “Hang him on it!” declared the king.
10 Hiti chun Haman in Mordecai khailih na dinga anasem thinglhon achun amajoh achu akhailih taove.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided.
