1 Hote tangmin vah siangpahrang teh ip thai hoeh. Siangpahrang setouknae cungpam cauk thokhai hanlah tami buet touh kâ a poe teh siangpahrang hmalah a touk.
That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
2 siangpahrang im ka ring e tuenla Bigthana hoi Teresh ni siangpahrang Ahasuerus thei hanlah a kâcai roinae hoi Mordekai ni a panue e kong hah a hmu.
And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni, Hote hno kecu dawk Mordekai ni bangpatet e barinae maw a hmu toung, telah a pacei. Siangpahrang e thaw ka tawk naw ni, Banghai sak pouh hoeh rah, telah atipouh awh.
The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
4 Siangpahrang ni, Thongma e kaawm e apimaw telah a pacei. Hatnae tueng navah Haman teh kaithi sak hanelah a sak e dawk Mordekai hah kaithi sak nahane kong dei hanlah siangpahrang thongma alawilah vah a kâen lahun.
“Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
5 Siangpahrang e sannaw ni ahni koevah, Khenhaw thongma ka kangdout e teh Haman doeh, telah atipouh. Hahoi, siangpahrang ni, kâen naseh, telah atipouh.
So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
6 Hatdawkvah, Haman teh a kâen teh siangpahrang ni ahni koevah, siangpahrang ni bari poe han a ngai e tami hah bangtelah sak pawiteh maw ahawi han vai, telah atipouh. Haman ni, Siangpahrang ni bari poe han a ngai e tami teh kai hloilah ao han rah maw, telah a lungthung hoi a pouk.
Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”
7 Haman ni siangpahrang koevah, Siangpahrang ni bari a poe han a ngai e tami teh,
And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
8 Siangpahrang ni ouk a kho e angki hoi siangpahrang ni ouk a kâcuie marang hoi siangpahrang lukhung, siangpahrang ni ouk a kâmuk e hah la pouh lah awm naseh.
have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head.
9 Hote khohna hoi marang hah ka talue e siangpahrang e kut rahim thaw ka tawk e buet touh koe a poe hnukkhu, siangpahrang ni a tawm han a ngai e tami hah hote khohna hoi a pathoup teh, marang a kâcui sak teh, kho thung lam dawk hrawi vaiteh, siangpahrang ni a tawm han a ngai e tami koe hettelah sak e lah ao ti hoi ahnie hma lah oung awh naseh telah siangpahrang koe bout atipouh.
Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’”
10 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni Haman koevah, Na dei e patetlah siangpahrang e hni hoi marang lat nateh, siangpahrang e im longkha koe ka tahung e, Judah tami Mordekai koevah sak haw, na dei e patetlah buet touh boehai pâhma hanh, telah atipouh.
“Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”
11 Hat toteh, Haman ni siangpahrang e khohna hoi marang hah a la teh Mordekai a kâcui sak teh, khopui lam dawk a hrawi teh, Siangpahrang ni bari poe hanelah a ngai e tami teh hettelah sak lah ao, telah pou a pathang.
So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!”
12 Hathnukkhu, Mordekai teh siangpahrang e longkha koevah bout a ban. Haman teh minhmai puenghoi mathoe lahoi a lûsaling teh a im lah karanglah a ban.
Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief.
13 Hahoi, Haman ni a yu Zeresh hoi a hui naw pueng koe a lathueng ka phat e hnonaw pueng a dei pouh. Hatdawkvah, a tami lung ka-ang naw hoi a yu Zeresh ni ahni koevah, Na Kâhmo payon, Mordekai teh Judah tami lah awm pawiteh na khang thai mahoeh, a hmalah na sung roeroe han, telah atipouh.
Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will fall before him.”
14 Hottelah, ahni koe a dei pouh awh navah, tuenlanaw a tho teh, ahnimouh ni, Esta ni sut lawng e buvennae koe Haman teh karanglah a ceikhai awh.
While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
