1 Hat hnukkhu, siangpahrang Ahasuerus ni Agag tami Hammedatha capa Haman hah thaw a luen sak teh alouke tami kalen naw pueng hlakvah ka rasang poung koe a tahung sak.
After these events did king Achashverosh make great Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and he advanced him; and he placed his seat above that of all the princes that were with him.
2 Hahoi, siangpahrang thongma longkha koe kaawm e a taminaw pueng ni Haman hah barinae a poe awh teh, a hmalah ouk a tabo pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang ni hot patetlah sak hanelah kâ a poe dawk doeh. Hateiteh, Mordekai ni a hmalah tabo hoi barinae hah poe ngai hoeh.
And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bent the knee and prostrated themselves to Haman; for so had the king commanded concerning him; but Mordecai bent not the knee nor prostrated himself.
3 Siangpahrang e sannaw hoi longkha thung kaawm e naw pueng ni Mordekai koevah, bangkongmaw siangpahrang e kâ na tapoe telah atipouh awh.
Then said the king's, servants, who were in the king's gate, unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's command?
4 A hnintangkuem kâhruetcuetnae a poe awh ei, a ngâi pouh hoeh torei teh, Mordekai e lawk a cak hoi a cak hoeh e panue hanlah a ngai awh dawkvah Haman koe a dei pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mordekai ni Judah tami lah ao e yo a dei pouh toe.
Now it came to pass, when they spoke unto him day by day, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai would be able to stand; for he had told them that be was a Jew.
5 Mordekai ni a hmalah tabo hoi barinae poe hane a ngaihoehnae hah Haman ni a panue toteh, puenghoi a lungkhuek.
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bent not the knee, nor prostrated himself to him, Haman became full of fury.
6 Hateiteh, Mordekai dueng thei hane teh ka lung bet hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Mordekai teh api miphun dawk hoi e maw ti a dei awh toe. Hatdawkvah, Ahasuerus uknaeram thung kaawm e Judah tami Mordekai e tami pueng koung thei hanlah a kâcai.
But it appeared too contemptible in his eyes to lay his hand on Mordecai alone: for they had told him of the people of Mordecai: therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout all the kingdom of Achashverosh, the people of Mordecai.
7 Siangpahrang Ahasuerus a bawinae kum 12, apasuek e thapa Nisan dawkvah, Haman hmalah ahnintha a touk, thapa 12 nah Adar thapa totouh Haman hmalah Purim tie cungpam ouk a rayu awh.
In the first month, that is the month Nissan, in the twelfth year of king Achashverosh, some one cast the Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month [to month], to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
8 Haman ni siangpahrang Ahasuerus koevah, Na ram thinghmuen tangkuem dawk miphun buet touh miphun alouke hoi kâvan hoeh e aloukcalah kaawm e ao. Ahnimae kâlawk teh alouknaw e kâlawk hoi khoeroe kâvan hoeh. Siangpahrang e kâlawk hai ngai awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, hottelah o sak e heh siangpahrang hanlah kamcu hoeh.
Then said Haman unto king Achashverosh, There is one people scattered yet separate among the nations in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are different from those of every people; while they do not execute the laws of the king; and it is no profit for the king to tolerate them.
9 Siangpahrang na hnâ bawt pawiteh, koung thei hanlah ao tie kâ poe loe, siangpahrang rawca tanae dawk ngun tangka thong hra, touh ka ta han telah, atipouh.
If it be pleasing to the king, let [a decree] be written to destroy them; and ten thousand talents of silver will I weigh out into the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring [the same] into the king's treasuries.
10 Siangpahrang ni hai hote tangka teh kai ni nang let na poe.
And the king drew his signet-ring from off his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the adversary of the Jews.
11 Hote miphunnaw koe sak han na ngai e patetlah sak thainae kâ na poe a titeh, a kuthrawt a rading teh, Judahnaw e taran Agag tami Hammedatha capa Haman koe a poe.
And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, that people also, to do therewith as it seemeth good in thy eyes.
12 Hottelah, thapa yung touh, hnin 13 nah siangpahrang ni cakathutkungnaw a kaw teh, Haman ni kâ poe e patetlah siangpahrang e tami kacuenaw hoi, ram kaukkungnaw hoi, miphun pueng e kahrawikung koe ca koung a patawn. Ram pueng dawkvah amamae lawk hoi siangpahrang Ahasuerus e kâpoe e patetlah ca a thut awh teh, siangpahrang e kuthrawt hoi tacik a kin awh.
Then were called the king's scribes in the first month on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written all just as Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to its writing, and to every people according to its language: in the name of king Achashverosh was it written, and it was sealed with the king's signet-ring.
13 Siangpahrang uknaeram pueng dawk e Judahnaw pueng, nawsai, matawng, camo hoi napuinaw totouh, hnin touh hoi, thapa hlaikahni nah, Adar thapa hnin 13 nah raphoe, thei, tâkhawng vaiteh a hnopai teh koung la pouh hanlah ca a patawn.
And the letters were sent by the runners unto all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to exterminate all the Jews, from young to old, little ones and women, on one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their property as spoil.
14 Hote hnin hanlah coungkacoe o hanlah ca teh ram tangkuem e tami pueng koevah pathang hanlah ao.
A copy of the writing, to be given out as a law in every province, was published unto all the nations, that they might be ready against that day.
15 Siangpahrang ni kâ a poe hoi ca kareinaw hah karanglah a patoun awh. Kâpoe e teh siangpahrang khopui Susan vah a pathang awh. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang hoi Haman teh yamu nei hanlah a tahung roi, hatei, Susan khopui teh ngaihmang hoi ao awh.
The runners went out with all speed with the king's decree, and the law was given out in Shushan the capital: and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
