< Esther 5 >

1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on [her] royal [apparel], and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
A an-ngol nithum lhinni chun, Esther in lengnu von in akivon in, indan sungnung’a alut in, lengpa touna laltouna na chu angan agading tai. Lengpa chu indan sunga alatouna a chun atouvin, kotphung lam chu ana nga in ahi.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, [that] she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that [was] in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Aman lengnu Esther chu indan sungnung lang ngatna a adin chu amutan ahi, hichun aman anasang in asana tenggol chu agah lhundoh peh in ahi. Hichun Esther in anailut in ateng golchu athamtan ahi.
3 And the king said, What will you, Esther? and what is your request? [ask] even to the half of my kingdom, and it shall be yours.
Hijouchun lengpan adongtan ahi: “Lengnu Esther ipi nadei ham? Ipiham nathum nom chu? Kaleng gam akehkhat jen hijongleh napenge!” ati.
4 And Esther said, To-day is my great day: if then it seem good to the king, let both him and Aman come to the feast which I will prepare this day.
Esther in adonbut in, “Lengpa nalung ahiding leh lengpa dinga kagon golvah ankong’a hin Haman toh tuni hin hunglhon lechun kati,” ati tan ahi.
5 And the king said, Hasten Aman hither, that we may perform the word of Esther. So they both come to the feast of which Esther had spoken.
Lengpan alhachaho khat akouvin, Esther in agon golvah ankong um ding'in Haman gangtah in hung hen tin aga kousah tai. Hiti chun lengpa le Haman chu Esther golvah ankong um ding'in ache lhontai.
6 And at the banquet the king said to Esther, What is [your request], queen Esther? [speak], and you shall have all that you require.
Hitia chu aneh uva adon laitah un, lengpan Esther jah a, “Tun ipi mong ham nadeichu seitan, ipiham nathum nomchu? Kalenggam akehkhat hijongleh kapeh ding nahi!” ati.
7 And she said, My request and my petition [are]:
Esther lin adonbut nin: “Hichehi kathum nom leh kangai chatpen chu ahi.
8 if I have found favour in the sight of the king, let the king and Aman come again to-morrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and to-morrow I will do the same.
Lengpa nalunglhaina kahi khah a chuleh lengpan kathilthum neisanpeh dinghi nalunglhaina ahidinga, kathum neibolpeh dinga ahileh jingteng jongle kagolvah ankonga Haman toh hungkit lhon inlang hitengle chu ipi kadei ham seichen nange” ati.
9 So Aman went out from the king very glad [and] merry: but when Aman saw Mardochaeus the Jew in the court, he was greatly enraged.
Hiche golvah ankong adalhah chun Haman akipah lheh jenge! Ahinla Mordecai chu leng inpi kelkot phung’a anatouva, amasang a ding dohlou chule jana imacha apehlou jeh chun Haman alunghan adeojah tan ahi.
10 And having gone into his own house, he called his friends, and his wife Zosara.
Ahivanga amale ama akitim ham ham in ain ajon ahi. Hiche jouchun Haman in aloi agol ho leh ajinu Zaresh akou khom in,
11 And he showed them his wealth, and the glory with which the king had invested him, and how he had caused him to take precedence and bear chief rule in the kingdom.
Cha tamtah aneijeh leh nei le gou ahaojeh in amaho kom’a chun kiletsah tah in thu aseijin ahi. Lengpan vaipo ho jouse le milen milal hojouse chung alenpenna atahsang nale jana apehho jeh chun aham hoitho lheh jengin ahi.
12 And Aman said, The queen has called no one to the feast with the king but me, and I am invited to-morrow.
Haman in aseijin “Hiche ho chungchon ah, Esther lengnu in golvah ankong agonna a lengpa toh ankong umkhom dingin koimacha dang koulouvin keibou eikouvin ahi, chule jing jongleh lengpa toh keibou eikoukit lhonin ahi.” Ati.
13 But these things please me not, while I see Mardochaeus the Jew in the court.
“Ahijeng vang'in hiche Judate mipa Mordecai khu khopi kelkotna atou kamulai sen kakipana ho jousehi amolsoh jitai,” ati.
14 And Zosara his wife and his friends said to him, Let there be a gallows made for you of fifty cubits, and in the morning do you speak to the king, and let Mardochaeus be hanged on the gallows: but do you go in to the feast with the king, and be merry. And the saying pleased Aman, and the gallows was prepared.
Hijeh chun Haman jinu Zaresh chuleh aloi agolhon aseipeh un, “Thinglhon hem feet som sage le nga a sangkhat tungdoh inlang jingkah tengleh lengpa kom’a chun Mordecai khetbehna dingin ga-ngeh lechun ahijenge” ati peh un ahi. Hichechu akichaiteng leh lengnu golvah a ding chun lungmongin chethei tan nate” atiuvin ahi. Hiche chun Haman alunglhai sahlheh jengin thing lhonchu tundoh dingin thu apetai.
