Esther 9
1 Hiti chun alha Lhakao nisagi nichun lengpa dan thusoh teni chu ahung chelha paitan ahi. Hiche nikho chun, Judate kidoupiho chun amaho chu matchom jengding anagot u ahin, ahinla akaleh lang tah in asohtan ahi. Judate ho johchun agalmi houchu ajolo taovin ahi.
And in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them (but it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had power over them that hated them),
2 Judate techu amaho khopi holeh gambih ho jousea pumkhat in dding khom un ahin nokhum hou chu asat chap jeng’un ahi. Koimachan amaho chu akimaito ngam tapouvin ahi, ajehchu mijousen amahochu aging taovin ahi.
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout the provinces of king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt. And no man could withstand them; for the fear of them had fallen upon all the peoples.
3 Gambih a milen milal ho ahin, vaihom lenpenho ahiuvin, gamvaipoh ahiuvin chuleh lengpa vaihom ho ahiuvin Mordecai akichat jeh un abonun Judate te akithopi gamtaove.
And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors and officers of the king, helped the Jews; for the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them.
4 Ajehchu lengpa khopia chun Mordecai chu sangtah'a atunlet ahitan, Gambih jousea jong aminthang cheh cheh jengin chuleh athahat cheh cheh jeng tan ahi.
For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout the provinces; for the man Mordecai became continually greater.
5 Hijeh chun Judate chu anikho kitep nikhon agal miteu chu chemjam in asat chap jengun ahi. Amahon agal miteu athat’un asumang gamji taovin amaho hin vetdaho jouse chu anop nop in aboljeng jiuvin ahi.
And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword and slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.
6 Susa khopi sung seh seh a jong Judate ten mi ja-nga athat un ahi.
And in Shushan the fortress the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Amahon Parshandatha, Dalphon leh Aspatha athatnun,
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Chuleh Poratha, Adalia le Aridatha athatnun,
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parmashta toh Arisai, Aridai le Vaizatha athatnun,
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
10 Judate galmi, Hammedatha chapa Haman chate som jong chu athatdoh taovin ahi. Ahinla athil alo hou achom pou’ve.
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the oppressor of the Jews, they slew; but they laid not their hands on the prey.
11 Hiche nikho tah chun Susa khopia athajat nuchu lengpa kom’a ahetsah taovin,
On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the fortress was brought before the king.
12 Hiche jouhin lengpan lengnu Esther akouvin ajah a, “Judate ten hiche Susa khopi seh seh a jong mi 500 athat un chule Haman chate som jong athat taove. Amahon hilaitah a bon chujat atha uleh gambih dangho a ijat athat tadiuvem? Tuahi ipi nadeibe nahlai ham? Nakibolpeh ding ahi, seijin ipi thumbe ding nanei nah lai’em? Nathum chan chu kibolpeh nalai ding ahi,” ati.
And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the fortress, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? And what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
13 Esther in adonbut in, “Lengpa nalung lhaina ahiding leh Judate techu Susa khopia tunia abol tobang un jing jongle bolsah kit’in lang chuleh Haman chate 10 chu mol lhon chunga kikhai sanghen,” ati.
And Esther said, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
14 Hiti chun lengpan anoppeh tan Susa khopi sunga hiche dan chu akiphong doh in chuleh Haman chate thilong o mho chu mol-lhon chunga chun akhaisang taove.
And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
15 Hichun Susa khopi a Judate hochu pumkhat’in dding khom’un alha Lhakao ni get nin mi jathum athat be kitnun athillu vang achom pouve.
And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but they laid not their hand on the prey.
16 Hiti chun lengpa gamkai jousea Judate chu amaho kihuhna dingin dding khom un ahi. Avetda’uva pang mihem sang som sagi le sang nga athat gam’un, agalmi teuva kon in a-ongthol taove. Ahinla amahon athil le lo imacha akichom pouve.
And the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their life, and had rest from their enemies; and they slew of them that hated them seventy-five thousand (but they laid not their hand on the prey),
17 Hiche thilsoh ho chu Adar lha nisomle nithum nia thilsoh ahi, ajing nikho nimsom le nili nin akicholdo uvin agaljo nao chu kipahtah in golvah abollun alopna aneiyun ahi.
on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
18 Susa a Judate hon agalmite nisom le thum, nisom le nili geiya mi athauva chule nisom le ni nga ni akicholdo un kipana golvah anabollun ahi.
But the Jews that were at Shushan gathered themselves together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
19 Hijeh chun, tuni changei’in thinglhanga um Judate kho gamla a umhon hiche nikholeh, phalbi kichai kon lamleh kumlhun golvah abollun akipah khomun nehle chah thilpeh ho akithot to jiuvin ahi.
Therefore the Jews of the villages that dwell in the country towns make the fourteenth of the month Adar a day of joy and feasting, and a good day, and on which they send portions one to another.
20 Mordecai in hiche thilsoh hohi ajih lut’in Xerxes gamsung jousea anai ahin agamla a um ahin Judate hohi lekha anathot jin ahi.
And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews near and far that were in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus,
21 Hiche nini sung hi kumseh a golvah abolji diuvin ana sei peh tan ahi.
to establish [this] among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
22 Ama hiche nikho sunga hi kipana golvah bolding leh nehle chah kipehto a, gentheite manbeiya pehding in ana seipeh in ahi. Hiche hin Judate agalmi teuva konna kipana amunao, alunggim naova konna thanopna amunao ageldoh jing nadiu ahi.
as the days on which the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month that was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
23 Hiti chun Judaten Mordecai thilgon hohi anop peh un, hiche hi kumseh in achepi tauvin ahi.
And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them.
24 Judate galmi Agagi mi Hammedatha chapa Haman chun Judate tehi suhmang helna dinga nikhokhat lhendohna dinga vangvetna ananei ahi. (Hiche avangvetna chu Purim akiti)
For Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the oppressor of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them and to destroy them;
25 Ahinlah lengnu Estherhi lengpa anga ahunglut phat in, aman dan chomkhat ahin sem’in hichun Haman tohgon phaloutah chu amachunga achuhlo tan ahi. Haman le achate chu mol lhon hemjet chunga akhailih ataove.
and when [Esther] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and they hanged him and his sons on the gallows.
26 Hijeh’a chu hiche golnop nahi Purim kiti ahi, ajehchu hiche hi gollui paova vangvetna ktina ahi. Amaho tah in anathoh khahsao ahijeh leh Mordecai in anajihlut ahijeh'in ahin chepi taove.
Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore, according to all the words of this letter, and for what they had seen concerning this matter and what had happened to them,
27 Gamjousea Judate ten hiche chon nahi chepi dingin anom’un chuleh achilhahte jousen jong ajui diuvin ana kilol’un ahi. Amahon hiche nikho teni hi kumseh leh akitepna nikho ahi alopna neijing dingin ana phongdoh un ahi.
the Jews ordained and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would observe these two days according to their writing and according to their fixed time, every year;
28 Hiche nikho ho chu lenggam sunga khopi hole gambih ho jousea insung jousen akhang akhanga ageldoh jinguva anit jing diu ahi. Hiche Purim golvah ankong hi Judate lah a itih hijongleh mangthah louva anit jing ding chuleh ipi thil anasoh ham tihi akhang akhanga mansah louhel ding ahi.
and that these days should be remembered and observed throughout every generation, in every family, every province, and every city, and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them cease from among their seed.
29 Abihail chanu lengnu Esther le Judate mi Mordecai in lekha khat anajih lhonin, masangjep a Mordecai in ana sutsa Purim kiman di thudol se se chu, lengnun thanei tah namdetna anei tan ahi.
And queen Esther the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 Hiche lekha chu Judate jouse anathot un chule Xerxes lenggam a gambih jakhat le somni le sagi sungah ana thot soh hel un ahi. Lekhathot a chu Judate lah a chamna le lungmon na leng hen akitin ahi.
And he sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, words of peace and truth,
31 Judate mi Mordecai leh lengnu Esther in dan a anatundoh lhon Purim golvah hi anikho kipeh dungjuija kumseh a nit dinga ana kiphutdoh ahi. (Mipite hin amaho dingleh achilhah ho diuva anngol naleh lunghemna anathoh khom banguva hiche Purim golvah jonghi ana tundoh u ahi).
to confirm these days of Purim in their fixed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and queen Esther had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, as to the matters of the fastings and their cry.
32 Hitia hi Purim chon nahi Esther thupeh in namdetna anei hetjing dingin lekhajol khat’a kijih lut tai.
And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
