1 Hahoi, siangpahrang Ahasuerus teh a lungkhueknae a roum navah, Vashti hai thoseh, ahni ni a sak e hoi ahni hanlah a sak e naw hai thoseh, bout a pouk
After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 Siangpahrang pouknae kapoekungnaw ni ahni koevah, “Siangpahrang hanlah tanglakacuem a meikahawi tawng awh sei,
Then said the young men of the king, who waited upon him, —Let them seek out for the king young virgins, of pleasing appearance;
3 Ram pueng dawk bawi rawi nateh, ahnimouh ni na ram thung e tanglakacuem a meikahawi naw pueng thokhai naseh, na khopui Susan vah Siangpahrang im hrawi awh naseh, siangpahrang im dawk napuinaw ka uk e tuenla Hegai koevah hrawi awh naseh, kamthoupnae kamtu awh naseh.
and let the king appoint officers throughout all the provinces of his kingdom, and let them gather together every young virgin of pleasing appearance unto Shusan the palace, unto the house of the women, into the custody of Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and let there be given the things needed for their purification;
4 Tangla na ngai poung e hah na rawi han, Vashti e yueng lah siangpahrangnu lah na ta han, telah atipouh awh. Siangpahrang ni ahawi ati dawkvah hottelah a sak awh.
and, the maiden that is pleasing in the eyes of the king, let her be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing seemed good in the eyes of the king, and he did so.
5 Hatnavah, Susan khopui dawk Judah tami buet touh Zair capa Mordekai ao. Ahni teh Benjamin phun, Kish capa, Simei capa lah a tho.
A certain Jew, there was, in Shusan the palace, —whose, name, was Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a man of Benjamin;
6 Ahni teh Babilon siangpahrang ni Judah siangpahrang Jekoniah tinaw a man navah, Jerusalem hoi mak man e doeh.
who had been exiled from Jerusalem, with the exiles who were carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, —whom, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, exiled.
7 Ahni ni a na pa kanaw e canu Hadassah tie Esta hah a kawk. Hote napui teh a manu hoi na pa tawn hoeh, hateiteh, a meihawi teh nuencang haiyah ahawipoung. A manu hoi a na pa a due hnukkhu, Mordekai ni a canu lah a tawn e lah ao.
And it came to pass, that he was bringing up Hadassah, the same, was Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had neither father nor mother, —and, the maiden, was of beautiful form and pleasing appearance, and when her father and mother died, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
8 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang kâpoenae hoi laideitâtueng e hah a thai torei teh, Susan khopui dawk napuinaw ka uk e Hegai koe tanglanaw a poe awh navah, Esta haiyah siangpahrang im e napui ka uk e Hegai koe a poe awh.
So it came to pass, when the king’s command and decree was heard, and there had been gathered together many maidens unto Shusan the palace, unto the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the house of the king, unto the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women;
9 Esta teh Hegai e lung a youk dawkvah minhmai kahawi a hmu teh, Hegai ni kâpicainae tâsinaw hoi khohna hah karanglah a poe. Siangpahrang im dawk rawi e napui sari touh a poe vaiteh, Esta hoi a sannunaw teh tanglanaw onae khan hoe taluenae koe ao sak.
and the maiden was pleasing in his eyes, and she received lovingkindness before him, and he hastened to give her, the things needed for her purification, and things apportioned her, and to give her, seven select maidens, out of the house of the king, —and he removed her and her maidens to the best place in the house of the women.
10 Esta ni api miphun maw, apimaw a imthungkhunaw ti hai dei hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mordekai ni dei hoeh hanlah a cakâ dawk vah.
Esther had not told of her people, nor of her kindred, —for, Mordecai, had laid charge upon her, that she should not tell.
11 Esta teh bangmaw ati, bangtelamaw ao tie panue hanlah a ngai dawkvah Mordekai ni hnintangkuem siangpahrang im vah napuinaw onae khan a hmalah e thongma dawk ouk a kâhlai.
And, throughout every day, Mordecai, used to walk to and fro, before the court of the house of the women, —to get to know the welfare of Esther, and what would be done with her.
12 Siangpahrang yu hanlah pathoupnae tueng heh kum touh ouk a ro. Thapa yung taruk touh thung murah satui, alouke thapa yung taruk touh thung teh kâpikâcainae hmuitui hoi kâpi kâcainae lahoi atueng a loum sak awh.
Now, when the turn of each maiden came, to go in unto King Ahasuerus, after it had been done to her according to the law of the women for twelve months, for, so, were filled the days of their purification, —six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes, and with things for the purification of the women,
13 Siangpahrang koevah cei hanlah tueng a pha torei teh tangla ni a ngai e pueng hah a hei teh napuinaw e im dawk hoi siangpahrang im vah ouk a sin awh.
then, indeed, the maiden came in unto the king, —whatsoever she might mention, was given her, to go with her, out of the house of the women up to the house of the king:
14 Tangmin lah siangpahrang koe a hrawi awh teh amom toteh tuenlanaw, a donaw, siangpahrang e a donaw onae khan, tuenla Shâshagaz ni a ring e napui onae khan apâhni e im dawk a ta awh. Siangpahrang ni a ngai teh a min lahoi kaw hoehpawiteh bout cet awh hoeh toe.
in the evening, she went in, and, in the morning, she returned—unto the second house of the women, unto the custody of Shaashgaz the king’s eunuch, who kept the concubines, —she went not in again unto the king, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.
15 Ama e canu patetlah Mordekai ni a kawk e a na pa kanaw Abihail canu Esta tueng a pha teh siangpahrang koe a kâen navah, napuinaw karingkung siangpahrang hanlah tuenla, Hegai ni a sak pouh e hno hloilah banghai het hoeh. Esta heh kahmawt naw pueng ni a lungpataw awh.
But, when the turn came for Esther daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai—who had taken her as his own daughter—to go in unto the king, she requested nothing, save what Hegai the king’s eunuch who kept the women might direct, —but so it was, that Esther obtained favour in the eyes of all who beheld her.
16 Siangpahrang Ahasuerus a bawinae a kum sari nah, thapa yung hra Tebet thapa dawk Esta teh siangpahrang koevah a hrawi awh.
So then Esther was taken unto King Ahasuerus, into his royal house, in the tenth month, the same, was the month Tebeth, —in the seventh year of his reign.
17 Siangpahrang ni Esta teh tangla alouknaw pueng hlakvah hoe a ngai teh a ngai poung dawkvah bawilukhung hah a kâmuk sak teh Vashti yueng lah siangpahrangnu lah a tawm.
And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favour and lovingkindness before him, above all the virgins, —so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen, instead of Vashti.
18 Hatnavah, siangpahrang ni Esta min lahoi, tami kalennaw hoi a taminaw hanlah pawi a to pouh. Hote hnin nah, ram pueng dawk kâhatnae hnin lah a pathang, a thaw katawknaw a patoun teh a bawi e patetlah poehno a poe sak.
Then the king made a great banquet, for all his rulers and his servants, the banquet of Esther, —and, a remission, for all the provinces, made he, and gave a present, according to the bounty of a king.
19 Tanglakacuemnaw apâhni lah bout a kamkhueng awh navah, Mordekai teh siangpahrang im dawk takhang ka ring naw ukkung lah ao.
Now, when virgins were gathered together second time, then, Mordecai, was sitting in the gate of the king.
20 Esta teh Mordekai ni a kawknae tueng nah lawk a ngai e patetlah lawk pou a ngai pouh teh Mordekai ni a dei e patetlah a miphun hoi a imthungkhunaw e kong dei laipalah ao.
Esther had not told of her kindred, nor her people, as, Mordecai, had laid charge upon her, —and, the command of Mordecai, Esther performed, like as when she was being brought up with him.
21 Mordekai teh siangpahrang im vah takhang karingkungnaw ukkung lah ao navah, siangpahrang hanlah tuenla, tami kahni touh Bigthan hoi Teresh takhang ka ring roi e a lungkhuek roi teh siangpahrang Ahasuerus hah thei hanlah a kâcai roi.
In those days, when, Mordecai, was sitting in the gate of the king, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king who guarded the threshold, were wroth, and sought to thrust a hand upon King Ahasuerus;
22 Hote hno hah Mordekai ni a panue teh siangpahrangnu Esta koevah a dei pouh. Hahoi, Esta ni Mordekai ni a dei e patetlah siangpahrang koe a dei pouh.
but the thing became known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen, —and Esther told it unto the king, in the name of Mordecai.
23 Hote hno akungkhei awh navah atang tie a panue awh dawkvah, hote tami kahni touh roi hah thingsoi vah a kaithi sak awh. Hote hno hah siangpahrang hnosaknae cungpam cauk dawk a thut awh.
And, when the thing was searched into and found [true], then were they two hanged upon the gallows, and it was written, in the book of the chronicles, before the king.
