Esther 4
1 When Mordecai learned of all that had happened, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the middle of the city, wailing loudly and bitterly.
Mordecai jin hitobanga thilsoh hi ahetdoh phat in, apon abot’eh in khaodip pon aki ah in vut akinun, chuin khopi achun alhailut in awging tah le lungna tah in apengjah jeng tan ahi.
2 But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because the law prohibited anyone wearing sackcloth from entering that gate.
Hiti chun ama khopi kelkot geijin ache in ahi, ajehchu hitobanga lung hesohna von pum in koima khopi kelkotna lutthei lou ahi.
3 In every province to which the king’s command and edict came, there was great mourning among the Jews. They fasted, wept, and lamented, and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Chuleh hiche lengpa dan aga kiphondoh na gambih jousea chun Judate ho lah a lunghem na nasatah alhungtai. Amahon an angol’un, akap un, aping un, chuleh mitamtah in vut akinu uvin khaodip pon akisil un ahi.
4 When Esther’s maidens and eunuchs came and told her about Mordecai, the queen was overcome with distress. She sent clothes for Mordecai to wear instead of his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.
Lengnu Esther jenle nungah holeh nukisohon Mordecai umchan chu aseipeh phat un, ama jong alungkham lheh jengtan ahi. Amanun khaodip pon akisil khella akisil dingin pon agah thotnin ahinla Mordecai chu anompon ahi.
5 Then Esther summoned Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs appointed to her, and she dispatched him to Mordecai to learn what was troubling him and why.
Hiche jou chun Esther in lengpa dinga nukiso holah a ama lhacha dinga kipansah pa Hathach chu akouvin, Mordecai chun ipi hahsatna atoh ham chule ibola lunggim tah a uma ham ti gakholdoh dingin asol tan ahi.
6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the city square in front of the king’s gate,
Hijeh chun Hathach chu khopi kelkot mai lang leitol a um Mordecai kom’a chun agachen ahi.
7 and Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money that Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury in order to destroy the Jews.
Mordecai in thusoh ho jouse leh Judate suhmang’a aumna dinga Haman in sum ijat lengte sumkhol na a dinga atodoh got ham tichu hoitah in ana seipeh soh keijin ahi.
8 Mordecai also gave Hathach a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for the destruction of the Jews, to show and explain to Esther, urging her to approach the king, implore his favor, and plead before him for her people.
Judate jouse kisuh mangna dinga Susa khopi sunga kisodoh dan lekha pehkhat chu Hathach anapen ahi. Aman hiche lekha chu Esther anavetsah ding chuleh thil umdan chu hoitah a ahilchet dingin Hathach chu agah ngan sen ahi. Aman Hathach jah a chun Esther chu sollin lang lengpa kom’a amite inging a taohen ati.
9 So Hathach went back and relayed Mordecai’s response to Esther.
Hiti chun Hathach chu Mordecai jin angan sena pumchun Esther kom’a chun ahung kile tai.
10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and instructed him to tell Mordecai,
Hiche jouchun Esther in Mordecai kom’a, athu lepoh dingin Hathach chu asolkit in ahi.
11 “All the royal officials and the people of the king’s provinces know that one law applies to every man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned—that he be put to death. Only if the king extends the gold scepter may that person live. But I have not been summoned to appear before the king for the past thirty days.”
“Lengpa vaipo hole gambih hoa cheng mipiho jouse jengin jong, koihileh lengpan akou hilouva lengpa kom’a lut aum a ahileh lengpan a sana tenggol ahin lhunlut louleh thitei tei ding ahi ti hi mijousen ahet khatchu ahi. Tuhin lengpan eikou louna ni somthum alhingtai” ati.
12 When Esther’s words were relayed to Mordecai,
Hathach chun Esther thusei chu Mordecai kom alhut kittai.
13 he sent back to her this reply: “Do not imagine that because you are in the king’s palace you alone will escape the fate of all the Jews.
Mordecai in Esther chu adonbutna alethot in; “Khopi sunga naum man in Judate jouse akitha gamteng kihoidoh nante tin kigel hih in.
14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows if perhaps you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Hitobang phat nahi thipbeh a naum a ahileh, hoilang ham khatna kon ahi Judate tedinga hoidoh nale olna hungsohdoh ding, amavang nangle nainsung mite thiding ahi. Kon ija ahetn em hitobang phatna ding jeh’a hi lengnu mun nalo hithei tah ahi!”
15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:
Hichejou chun Esther in Mordecai chu hiti hin thu athot kitne;
16 “Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish!”
“Susa khopia um Judate jouse gakoukhom inlang keidingin an-ngollin hungtao vun. Nithum sungin anjong nelou twijong donlouvin asun ajan in um un. Kanungah hole kenjong hitima chu kaboldiu ahi. Hiche jouteng chuleh dan in aphallou hijongleh, kathile kathi, kahinle kahin, lengpa kom’a kagalut ding ahi,” atipeh tai.
17 So Mordecai went and did all that Esther had instructed him.
Hiti chun Mordecai apotdoh in Esther in ahin thupeh dungjui chet chun aga boltai.
