Esta 5

1 Hahoi, apâthum hnin nah, Esta ni siangpahrang puengcang a kho teh siangpahrang im kalupnae thungvah a kangdue. Siangpahrang teh takhang hoi kadangka lah a bawitungkhung dawk a tahung.

Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

2 Hahoi, siangpahrangnu Esta teh siangpahrang imthung kalupnae thung a kangdue e hah siangpahrang ni a hmu navah, a lathueng vah a lunghawi dawkvah siangpahrang ni sui sonron a sin e hah Esta koelah a dâw pouh. Hatdawkvah, Esta ni a vâ a hnai teh siangpahrang e sonron hah dek a tek pouh.

And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

3 Siangpahrang ni, A yu Esta koe bangmaw na ngai, ka uknaeram a tangawn totouh hai na poe han, telah atipouh.

Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

4 Esta ni, Siangpahrang nang ni ahawi na tetpawiteh, bu sut kalawng e ven hanlah sahnin Haman hoi rei tho roi ei, telah atipouh.

And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

5 Siangpahrang ni, Esta ni a dei patetlah Haman karanglah kaw awh, telah atipouh. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang hoi Haman teh Esta ni sut lawng e pawi koe bu ca hanlah a cei roi.

Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

6 Misur bout neinae hmuen koevah, siangpahrang ni Esta, bangmaw hei han na ngai. Ka uknaeram a tangawn totouh na poe han, telah atipouh.

And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

7 Esta ni ka ngai e hoi ka hei e teh het hah doeh.

Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;

8 Siangpahrang minhmai kahawi ka hmu teh, ka heinae siangpahrang ni na poe hanlah na pasoung teh, kahei e hah kuepsak pawiteh, tangtho vah bu vennae koe Haman hoi bout tho roi ei, tangtho teh na dei e patetlah ka ngai e ka dei han toe telah atipouh.

If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.

9 Hatdawkvah, Haman teh hote hnin navah lunghawi ca lahoi a tâco. Hatei, Haman ni siangpahrang thongma kalupnae longkha e a hmalah, Mordekai ni bari laihoi thaw hoeh, kâroe laipalah ao e hah a hmu navah, Mordekai koe puenghoi a lungkhuek.

Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

10 Hatei, Haman teh a kâ cakuep laihoi a im vah a ban. A hui hoi a yu Zeresh hah a kaw sak.

Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

11 Hatdawkvah, Haman ni a bawilennae hoi a bawirengnae kong hoi, ca catoun moi a tawnnae kong, siangpahrang ni a tawm teh thaw ka rasang a poenae naw puenghoi alouknaw hlakvah ka rasang poung lah a tanae kong naw hah ahnimouh koevah a dei pouh.

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

12 Hothloilah, siangpahrangnu Esta ni buvennae a sak e dawk kai laipalah siangpahrang koevah apihai kâpa sak hoeh. Tangtho vah siangpahrang hoi bout na coun rah.

Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.

13 Hatei, siangpahrang thongma kalupnae longkha koe ka tahung e Mordekai ka hmu nathung teh hetnaw pueng heh kai hanlah banghai cungkeihoeh, a ti.

Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.

14 Hatdawkvah, a yu Zeresh hoi a hui naw pueng ni ahni koevah, Dong 50touh karasang e kaithinae hah sak sak nateh Mordekai hah kaithi sak hanlah amom vah siangpahrang koe dei pouh nateh buvennae koe vah lung kanawmcalah siangpahrang hoi rei cet roi haw atipouh awh. Hote lawk ni Haman a lungkuep sak teh kaithinae teh a sak sak.

Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
