Now in the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, when the king's law and decree were about to be carried out, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain power over them, it was reversed. The Jews gained power over those who hated them.
2 Siangpahrang Ahasuerus e ram pueng dawk kaawm e Judahnaw ni ahnimouh koe thoenae katawngnaw koe moipathung hanlah a onae khopueng dawkvah a kamkhueng awh teh apinihai ngang thai awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh taminaw pueng koe takinae a pha.
The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who tried to bring disaster on them. No one could stand against them, for the fear of them had fallen on all the peoples.
3 Hote ram thung vah bari kaawm e taminaw hoi kahrawikungnaw hoi ram ka ukkungnaw hoi siangpahrang e thaw katawknaw ni Mordekai hah a taki awh dawkvah Judahnaw hah a kabawp awh.
All the officials of the provinces, the provincial governors, the governors, and the king's administrators, helped the Jews because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mordekai teh siangpahrang im dawkvah takhang karingkungnaw kaukkung lah ao, ram pueng dawkvah a min a kamthang teh hnin touh hnukkhu hnin touh a min hoehoe a kamthang.
For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai was becoming great.
5 Hote hnin nah, Judahnaw ni a tarannaw pueng hah tahloi hoi koung a thei awh. Ahnimouh kahmawt ngai hoehnaw koevah a ngai e patetlah a sak awh.
The Jews attacked their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them.
6 Shushan khopui dawk tami 500touh a thei awh.
In the fortress of Susa itself the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Hamedatha, Judahnaw katarankung Haman canaw hra touh,
They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,

Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizatha,
10 Aridai, Vaizatha hah a thei awh. Hateiteh, a hnopai teh lat pouh awh hoeh.
and the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. But they did not take any plunder.
11 Hat hnin vah shushan kho dawk kadout e cayin hah siangpahrang koe a thaisak awh.
That day the number of those killed in the fortress of Susa, was reported to the king.
12 Siangpahrang ni siangpahrangnu Esta hah a kaw teh, Judahnaw ni Shushan khopui dawk Haman canaw hra touh hoi tami 500touh a thei awh. Alouke ramnaw dawk teh bangtelamaw a sak awh han. Nang ni teh bangtelamaw na ngai. Na ngai e patetlah na sak pouh han. Bangmaw hei han na ngai rah. Na hei e pueng na poe han atipouh.
The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be granted you. What is your request? It will be granted to you.”
13 Esta ni siangpahrang na ngainae lah tho pawiteh, Shushan khopui kaawm Judahnaw ni sahnin kâpoe e patetlah tangtho haiyah sak naseh. Haman canaw teh pathout awh naseh, telah atipouh.
Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be permitted to carry out this day's decree tomorrow also, and let the bodies of Haman's ten sons be hanged on gallows.”
14 Hahoi, siangpahrang ni hot patetlah sak hanlah kâ bout a poe dawkvah Shushan khopui dawk kâpoe e hah a pathang awh teh Haman capanaw hra touh hah a pathout awh.
So the king commanded that this be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman.
15 Shushan kaawm e Judahnaw ni Adar thapa, hnin 14nah haiyah bout a kamkhueng awh teh, Shushan khopui dawk tami 300touh a thei awh. Hateiteh, a hnopai teh lat pouh awh hoeh.
The Jews who were in Susa came together on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and killed three hundred more men in Susa, but laid no hands on the plunder.
16 Siangpahrang uknae alouklah kaawm e Judahnaw hai a kamkhueng awh teh taran kut dawk hoi lungmawng nahanlah amamouh hoi amamouh a kâring awh. A tarannaw 75000touh a thei awh. Hateiteh, a hnopai lat pouh awh hoeh.
The rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces came together to defend their lives, and they got relief from their enemies and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them, but they did not lay their hands on the valuables of those they killed.
17 Adar thapa hnin 13nah hote hno a sak awh. Hahoi, hnin 14nah a kâhat awh teh pawitonae hnin hoi lunghawinae hnin lah a hno awh.
This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. On the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.
18 Hateiteh, Shushan kaawm e Judahnaw teh hnin 13 hoi 14 nah a kamkhueng awh teh hnin 15 nah a kâhat awh teh pawitonae hoi lunghawinae hnin lah a hno awh.
But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days. On the fifteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Hatdawkvah, rapan ka tawn hoeh e kho dawk kaawm e Judahnaw nihaiyah Adar thapa hnin 14nah lunghawi laihoi pawitonae hnin, yawhawinae hnin buet touh hoi buet touh hno ouk kâpoenae hnin lah, ka sungren poung lah a hno awh.
That is why the Jews of the villages, who make their homes in the rural towns, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of gladness and feasting, and as a day on which they send gifts of food to one another.
20 Mordekai ni hote kongnaw pueng a thut teh siangpahrang Ahasuerus uknaeram dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koevah a patawn.
Mordecai recorded these things and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
21 Adar thapa hnin 14 hoi 15 hnin heh a kum tangkuem ahnimouh hanlah, ka lentoe e hnin lah caksak hanlah a pathang awh.
obligating them to keep the fourteenth and the fifteenth day of Adar every year.
22 Hote hnin dawk Judahnaw ni a taran kut dawk hoi a hlout teh lungmawngnae hnin, a lungmathoenae hoi a kanae, a kahma teh lunghawinae hoi nawmnaenae koe a phanae hnin lah ao dawkvah, a kum tangkuem hote hnin nah a kâhat awh teh pawitonae hnin, lunghawinae hnin, buet touh hoi buet touh hno a kâpoe awh teh, karoedengnaw hah hno poenae hnin lah kaawm e singyoe hah sak hanlah, siangpahrang Ahasuerus ram pueng dawk kahnai kahlat kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koe ca hah a patawn.
These were the days when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and the month when their sorrow turned to joy, and mourning into a day of celebration. They were to make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending gifts of food to one another, and gifts to the poor.
23 Judahnaw ni hai nueng a sak e Mordekai a dei e patetlah pou sak a hanlah a lungkuep awh.
So the Jews continued the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them.
24 Judahnaw pueng e taran lah kaawm e Agag tami Hamedatha capa Haman ni Judahnaw teh thei hanlah khokhangnae a tawn dawkvah Purim cungpam a rayu awh toe. Hot teh, ahnimouh koung thei nahanelah a tho.
At that time Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and he threw Pur (that is, he threw lots), to crush and destroy them.
25 Hateiteh, Esta ni siangpahrang koe a cei teh Judahnaw koe Haman e kahawihoehe khokhangnae hah amae lû dawk bout bo sak hanlah, ama hoi a canaw haiyah thingsoi vah pathout hanlah, ca lahoi kâ a poe.
But when the matter came before the king, he gave orders by letters that the wicked plan Haman developed against the Jews should come back on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Purim cungpam tie tarawi teh hote hninnaw hah Purim cungpam hnin telah a kaw awh.
Therefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Because of everything that was written in this letter, and everything that they had seen and that had happened to them,
27 Judahnaw ni amamouh koehoi ca catoun, ahnimouh koe kambawngnaw pueng haiyah, hote hninhnin touh teh Mordekai e ca dawk kaawm e patetlah kum tangkuem a ya awh.
the Jews accepted a new custom and duty. This custom would be for themselves, their descendants, and everyone who joined them. It would be that they would celebrate these two days every year. They would celebrate them in a certain way and at the same time each year.
28 Hote hnin teh Judahnaw dawk kahmat hoeh, ca catounnaw ni hai pahnim awh hoeh. Ram pueng dawk kaawm e a ca catounnaw ni a pahnim hoeh nahanlah a ya hanlah hnâ a bo awh.
These days were to be celebrated and observed in every generation, every family, every province, and every city. These Jews and their descendants would never cease to faithfully observe these days of Purim, so that they should never forget them.
29 Hatnavah, Abihail canu, siangpahrangnu Esta hoi Judah tami Mordekai ni Purim cungpam kong dawk apâhni ca patawnnae hah rek caksak hanlah kâtawnnae lahoi ca bout a thut.
Queen Esther daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew wrote with full authority and confirmed this second letter about Purim.
30 Judah tami Mordekai hoi siangpahrang ni lawkthui e patetlah Judahnaw ni amamouh hoi ca catoun hanlah a sak e khoe e tueng nah rawcahainae, ratoumnae hoiyah Purim hninnaw hah pou ya hanlah,
Letters were sent to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, wishing the Jews safety and truth.
31 Ahasuerus ni uknaeram 127 touh dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koe roumnae yuemkamcu e ca hah Mordekai ni a poe.
These letters confirmed the days of Purim at their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther obligated the Jews. The Jews accepted this obligation for themselves and their descendants, just as also they accepted times of fasting and lamenting.
32 Hottelah, cungpam kong teh Esta ni kâpoe e lahoi a caksak awh teh siangpahrangnaw e cungpam dawkvah a thut awh.
The command of Esther confirmed these regulations regarding Purim, and it was written in the book.
