Esther 8
1 Hicheni mama chun Xerxes lengpan Judate galmi Haman thil leh lo ho jouse chu lengnu Esther apedoh tai. Hichejou chun Esther in Mordecai chu insungmi ahi lengpa kom’ah aseidoh tan ahileh Mordecai chu lengpa kom’a ahin puilut taovin ahi.
On that day did king Achashverosh give the house of Haman the adversary of the Jews unto Esther the queen: and Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
2 Lengpan Haman’a konna ana nung lahdoh asoi namna khutjem chu aladoh in Mordecai chu apetai. Hiti chun Esther chun Mordecai chu Haman thil le lo chunga vaihom in ana pansah tan ahi.
And the king took off his signet-ring which he had taken away from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai: and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.
3 Hijou chun Esther chu lengpa kom’a ache kit'in akeng khopi muh a abohkhup in Agag mi Haman in Judate te douna thil giloutah ana gon chu suh-tangna dingin mitlhi pumin anataovin ahi.
And Esther spoke again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and wept, and besought him to do away the evil of Haman the Agagite, and his device which he had devised against the Jews.
4 Avellin lengpan Esther dingin asana tengol chu ahin lhungdoh in hiti chun ama athoudoh in a-angsung’ah adingtai.
And the king held out toward Esther the golden sceptre; and Esther arose, and stood up before the king;
5 Esther in ajah a, “Lengpa nalunglhai dinga chuleh khotona kamu theiding ahija chujongle nalung lhaina kachanthei dinga ahile Agag mipa Haman thupeh hohi suhbei na dingin dan khat semdoh le chun kati, ajehchu aman lengpa gambih jousea cheng Judate ho jouse suh gamna dinga thupeh ananei ahi,” ati.
And she said, If it be pleasing to the king, and if I have found grace before him, and the thing seem proper before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to recall the letters, the device of Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he hath written to exterminate the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king.
6 Ajehchu kamipite le kainsung mite akitha gamma akisuhmang ding ken iti kathoh dingham?”
For how could I endure to look on the evil that is to befall my people? and how could I endure to look on the extermination of my kindred?
7 Hichun Xerxes lengpan lengnu Esther le Judate mi Mordecai kom’ah, “Keima Haman thilkeo jouse Esther kape tan chuleh aman Judate te suhmang ding agot jeh in thinglhon chunga amajoh akikhailih tan,
Then said king Achashverosh unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, the house of Haman have I given to Esther, and him have they hanged on the gallows, because he had stretched out his hand against the Jews.
8 Tun lengpa min’in Judate techu nadei dandan’in thuthot tan chuleh lengpa khutjem chun mohor namkhum tan. Chule lengpa minna khatvei mohor kinamsa chu kinung lahdoh kit theitalou ding ahi, ti melchih lhon in, atipeh tai.
But ye write yourselves concerning the Jews, as it may be good in your eyes, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet-ring; for a writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's signet-ring, cannot be recalled.
9 Hiti chun lhathum lhinna, Sivan lha, nisom ni le nithum nichun, Mordecai in lengpa lekha jeh a pangho chu akikou khomin chuleh Mordecai jin jih in ati dungjui chun ajih taovin ahi. Hiche chu Judate ho komlah vaihom ho jouse kom, gamvaipo ho kom, gambih jakhat le somni le sagi, India a patna Ehopia changeijin milen milal ho jouse kom’ah akithot dohtan ahi. Hiche dan chu lenggam sunga mipite Judate op um'in ama ama paole ama lekhajem cheh in akisunin ahi.
Then were called the king's scribes at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written all just as Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the governors and the princes of the provinces who were from India unto Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, unto every province according to its writing, and unto every people according to its language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
10 Hiche dan chu Xerxes lengpa minna kisun ahin, akhut jemma mohor kinamkhum ah ahi. Mordecai in hiche thuhi gangtah a homdoh dingin lengpa kin’a kimang sakol lhaihat cheh chu asoldoh in ahi.
And he wrote in the name of king Achashverosh, and sealed it with the king's signet-ring, and he sent letters through means of the swift messengers on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
11 Hiche leng thupeh hin khopi tinna um Judate hochu kipun khomna kihuhdohna anei thei diu ahi. Koi nammi hihenlang hoilai gambih a konna hijohgleh aji achateo leh amaho hindel buluho jouse chu athaova, asuhmang diu chuleh asuhgamhel theidiu chuleh agalmi hou thilkeo akichom theidiu ahi.
That the king had granted to the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand forward for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to exterminate all the military strength of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to plunder their property as spoil,
12 Xerxes lenggam jousea hitobang tohna dinga nikho kilhengdoh chu Lhakao nisagi ni kumkit hiding ahi.
On one day in all the provinces of king Achashverosh, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
13 Hiche dan kisodoh hi gambih jousea juiding dan hiding mipiah jousea phondoh ding, hitia chu Judate ten hiche nikho ahi agalmihou chunga phu alah thei nadiu ahi.
A copy of the writing to be given out as a law in every province, was published unto all nations, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
14 Hichehin leng thupeh chun akinotah ahijeh'in, thuhomjal leho chun lengpa kin’a manchah dinga kikoi Sakol hatcheh aman uva gangtah a ahopdoh diu ahi. Hiche dan Susa khopi sunga jong akiphong doh tan ahi.
The swift messengers that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and hurried forward with the command of the king: and the law was given out at Shushan the capital.
15 Hiche jouchun Mordecai chun lengpon oupe aduple akang akisil’in, sana lallukhuh akikhuh in, tupat ponnem le pondup akisil’in lengpa a kon in ahung potdoh'in ahileh khopi sunga mipi chu akipah in othong je-jun asam sam jengun ahi.
And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in a royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a cloak of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan was glad and joyful.
16 Judate techu kipanale thanopnan adimun chene chan uva miho jana aching un ahi.
For the Jews there was light, with joy and gladness, and honor.
17 Gambih tinle khopia, lengpa dan lhunna channah Judate te akipah un alopna aneiyun anikho nitdingleh mipin golvah neikhom dingin aphongdoh un ahi. Gamsunga mipi lah achun Judate chu ahung pungjal jengun ahi ajeh chu Judate hochun eibolse get unte tia akichat’u ahitai.
And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's command reached with his law, there were joy and gladness for the Jews, entertainments and a feast-day: and many of the people of the land became Jews; for the dread of the Jews had fallen upon them.
