< Esther 9 >

1 So on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said above is called Adar, when all the Jews were designed to be massacred, and their enemies were greedy after their blood, the case being altered, the Jews began to have the upper hand, and to revenge themselves of their adversaries.
Hatdawkvah, ahlaikahni e thapa Adar, hnin 13 hnin, siangpahrang ni kâpoe e patetlah a sak awh nahane hnin teh a hnai toe. Hote hnin nah, Judahnaw e tarannaw ni kaimouh ni ka tâ awh han telah a ngaihawi awh. Hatei, Judahnaw ni ahnimouh letlang tânae hnin lah ao.
2 And they gathered themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people.
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.
3 And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai:
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.
4 For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men’s mouths.
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.
5 So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them:
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.
6 Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these:
Shushan khopui dawk tami 500touh a thei awh.
7 Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha,
Hamedatha, Judahnaw katarankung Haman canaw hra touh,
8 And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
9 And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha.
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Pamashta, Arisai,
10 And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods.
Aridai, Vaizatha hah a thei awh. Hateiteh, a hnopai teh lat pouh awh hoeh.
11 And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king.
Hat hnin vah shushan kho dawk kadout e cayin hah siangpahrang koe a thaisak awh.
12 And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to be done?
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.
13 And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do tomorrow in Susan as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets.
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.
14 And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged.
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.
15 And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance.
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.
16 Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were Billed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods.
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.
17 Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets.
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.
18 But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness.
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.
19 But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats.
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.
20 And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king’s provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off,
Mordekai ni hote kongnaw pueng a thut teh siangpahrang Ahasuerus uknaeram dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koevah a patawn.
21 That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour:
Adar thapa hnin 14 hoi 15 hnin heh a kum tangkuem ahnimouh hanlah, ka lentoe e hnin lah caksak hanlah a pathang awh.
22 Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats; and should give gifts to the poor.
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.
23 And the Jews undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done.
Judahnaw ni hai nueng a sak e Mordekai a dei e patetlah pou sak a hanlah a lungkuep awh.
24 For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them: and had cast Phur, that is, the lot.
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.
25 And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king’s letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets.
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.
26 And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book:
Purim cungpam tie tarawi teh hote hninnaw hah Purim cungpam hnin telah a kaw awh.
27 And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.
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.
28 These are the days which shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound to these ceremonies.
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.
29 And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come.
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.
30 And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive truth,
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,
31 And observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy in their proper time: as Mardochai and Esther had appointed, and they undertook them to be observed by themselves and by their seed, fasts, and cries, and the days of lots,
Ahasuerus ni uknaeram 127 touh dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koe roumnae yuemkamcu e ca hah Mordekai ni a poe.
32 And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
Hottelah, cungpam kong teh Esta ni kâpoe e lahoi a caksak awh teh siangpahrangnaw e cungpam dawkvah a thut awh.
