< Esther 3 >
1 And after this king Artaxerxes highly honoured Aman [son] of Amadathes, the Bugaean, and exalted him, and set his seat above all his friends.
Hat hnukkhu, siangpahrang Ahasuerus ni Agag tami Hammedatha capa Haman hah thaw a luen sak teh alouke tami kalen naw pueng hlakvah ka rasang poung koe a tahung sak.
2 And all in the palace did him obeisance, for so the king had given orders to do: but Mardochaeus did not do him obeisance.
Hahoi, siangpahrang thongma longkha koe kaawm e a taminaw pueng ni Haman hah barinae a poe awh teh, a hmalah ouk a tabo pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang ni hot patetlah sak hanelah kâ a poe dawk doeh. Hateiteh, Mordekai ni a hmalah tabo hoi barinae hah poe ngai hoeh.
3 And they in the king's palace said to Mardochaeus, Mardochaeus, why do you transgress the commands of the king?
Siangpahrang e sannaw hoi longkha thung kaawm e naw pueng ni Mordekai koevah, bangkongmaw siangpahrang e kâ na tapoe telah atipouh awh.
4 [Thus] they spoke daily to him, but he listened not to them; so they represented to Aman that Mardochaeus resisted the commands of the king: and Mardochaeus had shown to them that he was a Jew.
A hnintangkuem kâhruetcuetnae a poe awh ei, a ngâi pouh hoeh torei teh, Mordekai e lawk a cak hoi a cak hoeh e panue hanlah a ngai awh dawkvah Haman koe a dei pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mordekai ni Judah tami lah ao e yo a dei pouh toe.
5 And when Aman understood that Mardochaeus did not obeisance to him, he was greatly enraged,
Mordekai ni a hmalah tabo hoi barinae poe hane a ngaihoehnae hah Haman ni a panue toteh, puenghoi a lungkhuek.
6 and took counsel to destroy utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.
Hateiteh, Mordekai dueng thei hane teh ka lung bet hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Mordekai teh api miphun dawk hoi e maw ti a dei awh toe. Hatdawkvah, Ahasuerus uknaeram thung kaawm e Judah tami Mordekai e tami pueng koung thei hanlah a kâcai.
7 And he made a decree in the twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, and cast lots daily and monthly, to kill in one day the race of Mardochaeus: and the lot fell on the fourteenth [day] of the month which is Adar.
Siangpahrang Ahasuerus a bawinae kum 12, apasuek e thapa Nisan dawkvah, Haman hmalah ahnintha a touk, thapa 12 nah Adar thapa totouh Haman hmalah Purim tie cungpam ouk a rayu awh.
8 And he spoke to king Artaxerxes, saying, There is a nation scattered amongst the nations in all your kingdom, and their laws differ from [those of] all the [other] nations; and they disobey the laws of the king; and it is not expedient for the king to let them alone.
Haman ni siangpahrang Ahasuerus koevah, Na ram thinghmuen tangkuem dawk miphun buet touh miphun alouke hoi kâvan hoeh e aloukcalah kaawm e ao. Ahnimae kâlawk teh alouknaw e kâlawk hoi khoeroe kâvan hoeh. Siangpahrang e kâlawk hai ngai awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, hottelah o sak e heh siangpahrang hanlah kamcu hoeh.
9 If it seem good to the king, let him make a decree to destroy them: and I will remit into the king's treasury ten thousand talents of silver.
Siangpahrang na hnâ bawt pawiteh, koung thei hanlah ao tie kâ poe loe, siangpahrang rawca tanae dawk ngun tangka thong hra, touh ka ta han telah, atipouh.
10 And the king took off his ring, and gave it into the hands of Aman, to seal the decrees against the Jews.
Siangpahrang ni hai hote tangka teh kai ni nang let na poe.
11 And the king said to Aman, Keep the silver, and treat the nation as you will.
Hote miphunnaw koe sak han na ngai e patetlah sak thainae kâ na poe a titeh, a kuthrawt a rading teh, Judahnaw e taran Agag tami Hammedatha capa Haman koe a poe.
12 So the king's recorders were called in the first month, on the thirteenth [day], and they wrote as Aman commanded to the captains and governors in every province, from India even to Ethiopia, to a hundred and twenty-seven provinces; and to the rulers of the nations according to their [several] languages, in the name of king Artaxerxes.
Hottelah, thapa yung touh, hnin 13 nah siangpahrang ni cakathutkungnaw a kaw teh, Haman ni kâ poe e patetlah siangpahrang e tami kacuenaw hoi, ram kaukkungnaw hoi, miphun pueng e kahrawikung koe ca koung a patawn. Ram pueng dawkvah amamae lawk hoi siangpahrang Ahasuerus e kâpoe e patetlah ca a thut awh teh, siangpahrang e kuthrawt hoi tacik a kin awh.
13 And [the message] was sent by posts throughout the kingdom of Artaxerxes, to destroy utterly the race of the Jews on the first day of the twelfth month, which is Adar, and to plunder their goods.
Siangpahrang uknaeram pueng dawk e Judahnaw pueng, nawsai, matawng, camo hoi napuinaw totouh, hnin touh hoi, thapa hlaikahni nah, Adar thapa hnin 13 nah raphoe, thei, tâkhawng vaiteh a hnopai teh koung la pouh hanlah ca a patawn.
14 And the copies of the letters were published in every province; and an order was given to all the nations to be ready against that day.
Hote hnin hanlah coungkacoe o hanlah ca teh ram tangkuem e tami pueng koevah pathang hanlah ao.
15 And the business was hastened, and [that] at Susa: and the king and Aman began to drink; but the city was troubled.
Siangpahrang ni kâ a poe hoi ca kareinaw hah karanglah a patoun awh. Kâpoe e teh siangpahrang khopui Susan vah a pathang awh. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang hoi Haman teh yamu nei hanlah a tahung roi, hatei, Susan khopui teh ngaihmang hoi ao awh.
