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 the king was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of them to the king.
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.
[The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
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 asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything for him.”
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.
At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
5 Siangpahrang e sannaw ni ahni koevah, Khenhaw thongma ka kangdout e teh Haman doeh, telah atipouh. Hahoi, siangpahrang ni, kâen naseh, telah atipouh.
His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
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.
When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
7 Haman ni siangpahrang koevah, Siangpahrang ni bari a poe han a ngai e tami teh,
So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish 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.
you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
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.
Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants 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.
The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you 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 did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants 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 [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
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.
He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
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.
And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther had prepared.
