1 Hote hnin dawkvah, siangpahrang Ahasuerus ni Judahnaw e taran Haman im hah siangpahrangnu Esta koe a poe. Esta ni Mordekai hoi bangtelamaw kâkuetnae ao tie kong a dei dawkvah Mordekai teh siangpahrang koe a kâen.
And in that day king Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochæus was called by the king; for Esther had shewn that he was related to her.
2 Siangpahrang ni hai Haman kut dawk hoi a la e kuthrawt hah a rading teh Mordekai hah a poe. Esta ni hai Haman e im hah Mordekai a poe.
And the king took the ring which he had taken away from Aman, and gave it to Mardochæus: and Esther appointed Mardochæus over all that had been Aman’s.
3 Hahoi, Esta ni siangpahrang khok koe a tabo teh, Agag tami Haman ni a sak e yon, Judahnaw koe a kâcainae naw raphoe pouh hanlah mitphi hoi a kâhei.
And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and besought [him] to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.
4 Siangpahrang ni sui sonron hah Esta koelah a dâw pouh. Hatdawkvah, Esta ni a thaw teh siangpahrang hmalah a kangdue teh,
Then the king stretched out to Esther the golden sceptre: and Esther arose to stand near the king.
5 siangpahrang, ahawi na tetpawiteh, na lung ka youk pawiteh; siangpahrang hmunae dawk a lan teh lung kahawi sak e lah kaawm pawiteh, Agag tami Hamedatha capa Haman ni kho a khang e ca, siangpahrang uknaeram pueng dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koung thei hanlah telah a pathang e ca hah raphoe hanlah ca bout thun sak loe atipouh.
And Esther said, If it seem good to thee, and I have found favour [in thy sight], let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in thy kingdom.
6 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka miphunnaw koe hawihoehnae ka tho hane runae hoi thoseh, ka miphunnaw a raphoenae hai thoseh, kai ni ka khet hanelah bangtelamaw ka khang thai han, telah atipouh.
For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my kindred?
7 Siangpahrang ni hai Haman ni Judahnaw koe kutpho hane a kâcai kecu dawkvah a im hah siangpahrangnu Esta koe ka poe toe. Ama haiyah khom dawk yo kaithi sak toe.
And the king said to Esther, If I have given and freely granted thee all that was Aman’s, and hanged him on a gallows, because he laid his hands upon the Jews, what dost thou yet further seek?
8 Hahoi, siangpahrang kuthrawt hoi tacikkin e siangpahrang kâlawk hah apinihai raphoe thai mahoeh. Na lungngai e patetlah Judahnaw hanlah ca bout thun nateh, kuthrawt hoi tacikkin han telah siangpahrangnu Esta hoi Judah tami Mordekai koe atipouh.
Write ye also in my name, as it seems good to you, and seal [it] with my ring: for whatever [orders] are written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not lawful to gainsay them.
9 Hatnavah, Sivan thapa ayung pâthum, hnin 23 navah cakathutkungnaw a kaw teh India ram hoi Ethiopia ram totouh a ram 127 touh dawk kaawm e Judahnaw, ka ukkungnaw hoi kahrawikungnaw koevah Mordekai ni kâ a poe e patetlah Judahnaw e lawk lahoi miphun pueng e lawk lahoi,
So the scribes were called in the first month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same year; and [orders] were written to the Jews, whatever [the king had] commanded to the local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the several provinces, according to their dialects.
10 Siangpahrang Ahasuerus min lahoi ca a thut awh teh, siangpahrang e kuthrawt hoi tacik a kin hnukkhu, Marang, La, Kalauk kâcui laihoi ca kareinaw ni a poe awh.
And they were written by order of the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the posts:
11 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni ram pueng dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng kamkhueng awh nateh, hringnae kâhruetcuet han hoi tuk hanlah ka tho e ransanaw pueng hah a yucanaw hoi koung thet awh nateh a hnopai hai la thainae kâ hah siangpahrang ni a poe.
wherein he charged them to use their [own] laws in every city, and to help each other, and to treat their adversaries, and those who attacked them, as they pleased,
12 Siangpahrang Ahasuerus uknaeram pueng dawk teh thapa hlaikahni, Adar thapa hnin 13 nah, Judahnaw koung thei hanlah khokhangnae hnin dawk hno hanlah ao.
on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is Adar.
13 Hete lawk teh, hatnae hnin roeroe nah a tarannaw e lathueng vah moipathung thai nahan hoi Judahnaw sut coungkacoe lah ao thai awh nahan, kho tangkuem vah koung patawn teh taminaw pueng koe pathang han, telah atipouh.
And let the copies be posted in conspicuous places throughout the kingdom, and let all the Jews be ready against this day, to fight against their enemies.
14 Hote kâpoe e ca teh Shushan khopui dawk a pathang awh hnukkhu, siangpahrang ni kâpoe e patetlah marang kâcuie naw ni siangpahrang e marang a kâcui awh teh, karanglah a yawngkhai awh.
So the horsemen went forth with haste to perform the king’s commands; and the ordinance was also published in Susa.
15 Mordekai ni siangpahrang e angki pangaw opaou e a kho teh, suilukhung kalenpoung kâmuk hoi, kawng e hni paling opaou e a kâkhu teh,
And Mardochæus went forth robed in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine purple linen: and the people in Susa saw [it] and rejoiced.
16 Susan khopui dawk e taminaw teh a lunghawi awh. Judahnaw teh lunghawinae, thahmeinae hoi barinae hah a coe awh.
And the Jews had light and gladness,
17 Siangpahrang e kâpoe e ca a phanae ram pueng dawkvah, Judahnaw ni lunghawinae, pawitonae, yawhawinae hnin yanae hah a sak awh teh, khoca ramca moi kapapnaw ni Judahnaw hah a taki awh dawkvah Judah phung lah a kâen awh.
in every city and province wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.
