Esther 6
1 That night the king wasn't able to sleep, so he ordered the Book of Records of the King's Reign brought in so it could be read to him.
Te kah khoyin ah tah manghai te a ih hoelh. Te dongah khokhuen olka poekkoepnah cabu te loh hamla a thui pah. Te vaengah manghai mikhmuh ah aka tae pah ham khaw om uh.
2 There he discovered the account of what Mordecai had reported about Bigthana and Teresh, the two king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers who had plotted to assassinate King Xerxes.
Te vaengah cingkhaa aka tawt, manghai imkhoem rhoi Bigthan neh Teresh loh manghai Ahasuerus kut hlah thil ham a mae rhoi vaengah Mordekai a puen pah tila a daek te a hmuh.
3 “What honor or position did Morcedai receive as a reward for doing this?” asked the king. “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king's attendants.
Te dongah manghai loh, “He dongah Mordekai ham umponnah neh lennah metlam a saii?” a ti nah. Te vaengah amah taengah aka thotat manghai kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh, “Anih ham hno pakhat khaw a saii pah moenih,” a ti uh.
4 “Who's here in the court?” the king asked. Haman had just happened to arrive in the outer court of the royal palace to ask the king to have Mordecai impaled on the pole he had set up for him.
Manghai loh, “Vongup kah te unim?” a ti vaengah, Haman tah thing dongah Mordekai kuiok sak ham a tawn te manghai taengah thui hamla manghai im kah vongup khuila lom kun.
5 The king's attendants told him, “Haman is waiting in the court.” “Tell him to come in,” the king ordered.
Te vaengah manghai kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh a taengah, “Haman vongup ah pai ke,” a ti uh. Te dongah manghai loh, “Ha kun saeh,” a ti nah.
6 When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should be done for a man the king wants to honor?” Haman said to himself, “Who would the king want to honor except me?”
Haman a kun van neh a taengah, “Manghai loh amah kah umponah dongah khueh a ngaih hlang ham te manghai loh balae a saii pa eh?” a ti nah. Te vaengah Haman loh a lungbuei ah, 'Manghai loh kai lakah aka hoeikhang te umponah saii pah ham unim a ngaih?,” a ti.
7 So Haman said to the king, “A man whom the king wants to honor
Te dongah Haman loh manghai taengah, “Manghai loh amah kah umponah dongah khueh a ngaih hlang te,
8 should be brought royal robes the king has worn, a horse the king has ridden and which has a royal headdress on its head.
manghai amah pum dongkah a bai nawn manghai pueinak, manghai loh a soah a ngol thil marhang, a lu dongah a khuem manghai rhuisam te khuen saeh.
9 Have the robes and the horse handed over to one of the king's highest officials and nobles. Let him make sure the man the king wishes to honor is dressed in the royal robes and that he rides on the horse through the city streets, and have the official announce before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!’”
Te phoeiah pueinak neh marhang te angrhaeng manghai kah mangpa rhoek lamkah pakhat kut ah pae saeh. Te vaengah manghai loh amah kah umponah dongah khueh ham a ngaih hlang te bai sak saeh. Te phoeiah anih te khopuei toltung la marhang dongah ngol sak saeh lamtah a hmai ah, 'Manghai loh amah kah umponah khuiah khueh a ngaih hlang ham tah he tlam ni a saii,’ tila doek saeh,” a ti nah.
10 Then the king told Haman, “Right! Off you go! Quickly get the royal robes and the horse, and do just what you've said for Mordecai the Jew sitting at the palace gate. Don't leave out anything that you mentioned.”
Te phoeiah manghai loh Haman te, “Na thui bangla pueinak neh marhang te tlek lo lamtah manghai vongka ah aka ngol Judah Mordekai ham saii pah. Na thui boeih te ol pakhat khaw rhul sak boeh,” a ti nah.
11 Haman went and got the robes and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and placed him on the horse, and led him through the streets of the city, shouting before him, “This is what is done for the man the king wishes to honor!”
Te dongah Haman loh pueinak neh marhang te a loh tih Mordekai te a bai sak. Te phoeiah anih khopuei toltung la a ngol sak tih a hmai ah, 'Manghai loh amah kah umponah khuiah khueh a ngaih hlang ham tah he tlam ni a saii,’ tila a doek.
12 Mordecai went back to the palace gate, but Haman rushed home, crying and covering his head in shame.
Te phoeiah Mordekai te manghai vongka la mael. Tedae Haman tah a im la mael paitok tih rhahdoe cangpoem ah a lu te a muei.
13 Haman explained to his wife Zeresh and all his friends what had happened to him. These wise friends and his wife Zeresh told him, “If Mordecai is one of the Jewish people, and you have already begun to lose status before him—you won't be able to beat him! You're going to lose to him, you're going to fall!”
Haman loh a taengah aka thoeng boeih te a yuu Zeresh taeng neh a lungnah boeih taengah a thui. Te vaengah amah te a hlangcueih rhoek neh a yuu Zeresh loh, “Mordekai te Judah tiingan lamkah koinih, a mikhmuh ah cungku sak ham na tong cakhaw anih te na noeng mahpawh, a mikhmuh ah rhep na cungku rhoe na cungku ni,” a ti nah.
14 While they were still talking to him, the king's eunuchs arrived and quickly took Haman to the dinner which Esther had prepared.
Anih te a thui uh li vaengah manghai imkhoem rhoek ha pawk uh tih Haman te Esther kah a saii buhkoknah kung la tlek a khuen uh.
