Esther 3
1 After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him to a position above all the princes who were with him.
Phat chomkhat jouvin leng Xerxes in Agag mipa Hamadatha chapa Haman chu atohmun akalsah in amithupi holah a achungnung pen’in apansah in, aleng gamsunga vaihom ho jouse lah a thanei pen’in apansah tan ahi.
2 All the royal servants at the king’s gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman, because the king had commanded that this be done for him. But Mordecai would not bow down or pay homage.
Lengpa dinga vaipo ho jousen lengpa thupeh dungjuija Haman masanga hi dilsu sohkei diu jana apeh chehdiu ahi. Ahinlah Mordecai hi adilsu nompon jana jong ape nompon ahi.
3 Then the royal servants at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the command of the king?”
Hichejou hin lengpa kelkot kom’a um lengpa khopi vaipo a panghon Mordecai jah a, “Nang in ipi dinga lengpa thupeh nanit louham?” atiuvin ahi.
4 Day after day they warned him, but he would not comply. So they reported it to Haman to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would be tolerated, since he had told them he was a Jew.
Amahon niseh in aseipeh jengun ahinlah aman thupeh chu ajuideh pon ahi. Hijeh chun amahon Mordecai chu Judate ahi chu ahet utoh kilhon chun Haman chun i-alo am ti in Mordecai umchan chu Haman chu aseipeh un ahi.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai would not bow down or pay him homage, he was filled with rage.
Haman in Modecai chun a-anga abohkhup lou chuleh jana apehlou chu amun alung ahang lheh jeng tan ahi.
6 And when he learned the identity of Mordecai’s people, he scorned the notion of laying hands on Mordecai alone. Instead, he sought to destroy all of Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the kingdom of Xerxes.
Aman Mordecai chu koi nam mi ahi ti ahin hetdoh phat in, Mordecai chung seh seh a thilse bolding chu ahin sit tan ahi. Hijeh chun Xerxes lenggam pumpin Judate te jouse suhmang dingin ahin gongtan ahi.
7 In the twelfth year of King Xerxes, in the first month, the month of Nisan, the Pur (that is, the lot) was cast before Haman to determine a day and month. And the lot fell on the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
Hiti chun leng Xerxes vaipoh kum somni le kumni channa Lhatun lhasung in athilgon ho tohdoh na dinga hi ipi lhapen lhasungin phading ham tichu Haman kom’a vangvetna ana um'in ahi (Hiche vangvetna chu Purim akiti). Anikho kilhengdoh chu alha Lhakao lha nisagi ni ahin, hiche nikho chu kumkhat jou anahi.
8 Then Haman informed King Xerxes, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples of every province of your kingdom. Their laws are different from everyone else’s, and they do not obey the king’s laws. So it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them.
Hijouchun Haman in leng Xerxes kom’a chun achen aga sei tai, “Naleng gamsunga hin namchom jatkhat aum in ama hohi gambih jousea hin akithe thangsoh hellun, chule midanga konin atumbeh in aumin ahi. Amahon midanga toh kibanglou dan chombeh aneiyun, lengpa na dan sem jonghi anit pouvin ahi. Hijeh chun amaho hinghoi ding lengpa dingin thilpha hiponte,” ati peh tai.
9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will deposit ten thousand talents of silver into the royal treasury to pay those who carry it out.”
“Hijeh chun lengpa nalung lhaina ahiding leh amaho hi suhmangna dingin dan khat semdoh jengin lang hiche din tongdoh ding hochu keiman dangka talent sang som pe nange, amahon hiche lengpa sumkholna insunga koinao vinte.” ati.
10 So the king removed the signet ring from his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
Lengpan aphatsah in, athulhuh nachu suhdetna in akhutna kon in akhutjem aladoh in Agag mipa Hammedatha chapa Haman Judate galmipa kom’a chun apetan ahi.
11 “Keep your money,” said the king to Haman. “These people are given to you to do with them as you please.”
Lengpan aseijin, “Hiche sum chuleh mipi hochu nang khutna aum’e phante nati dan dannin boltan” ati.
12 On the thirteenth day of the first month, the royal scribes were summoned and the order was written exactly as Haman commanded the royal satraps, the governors of each province, and the officials of each people, in the script of each province and the language of every people. It was written in the name of King Xerxes and sealed with the royal signet ring.
Hiti chun Lhatun nidan nisom le nisagi ni hin lengpa lekha sun hochu akoukhom un chuleh Haman dei dungjuitah chun dan khat jihdoh in aumtai. Hiche chu lengpa vaihom lenpen ho, gambih a gamvaipo ho, chuleh gambih jousea milen milal ho, amaho lekha jemleh apaocheh un akijihdoh in ahi. Hiche dan chu leng Xerxes min in akijih in achunga lengpa mohor chu akinam khum in ahi.
13 And the letters were sent by couriers to each of the royal provinces with the order to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—and to plunder their possessions on a single day, the thirteenth day of Adar, the twelfth month.
Hiche lekha hochu gangtah a aga hopdoh loi diuvin thupole a pangho chu akisoldoh in, amahon lenggam sunga gambih ho jousea agahomdoh un Judate ho jouse khangdonga patna tehse gei, numei chapang puma nikhat sunga thadoh ding, suhmang chuleh suhbeihel ding ahi akiti. Hiche kinhi kumkit alha Lhakao ni sagi nia tohdoh teidinga thupeh ahi. Hitobanga kithat Judate ho thilkeo chu athat ho chang ding ahiuve.
14 A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued in every province and published to all the people, so that they would be ready on that day.
Hiche dan kijihna lekha hi gambih jousea thot-lut sohding chuleh mijouse lekha phondoh ding hitia chu akitep nikho ahunglhung teng tohdoh jeng theina diuva kigong ahi.
15 The couriers left, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. Then the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in confusion.
Lengpa thupeh a kon in, dan kisodoh hochu thupole hon gangtah a ahopdoh diu, Susa khopia akiphongdoh tai. Hiche jouchun lengpa le Haman atou lhonin adonkhom lhontai; ahinla Susa khopia mipite lah achun lungkham nale boina alhungtai.
