Esther 8
1 That very day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the property that had belonged to Haman, the enemy of the Jews. Also, Mordecai came before the king, because Esther had explained who he was to her.
Amah te khohnin ah manghai Ahasuerus loh Judah, Judah aka daengdaeh Haman im te manghainu Esther taengla a paek. A taengkah te Esther loh a puen coeng dongah Mordekai khaw manghai mikhmuh la mop.
2 The king removed his signet ring which he had taken back from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther put Mordecai in charge of Haman's property.
Manghai loh Haman lamkah aka mael a kutcaeng te a dul tih Mordekai taengla a paek. Esther loh Mordekai te Haman im ah a khueh.
3 Esther went to speak to the king again, falling down at his feet and weeping, pleading with him to do away with the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite that he had thought up to destroy the Jews.
Te phoeiah Esther loh a rhaep tih manghai mikhmuh ah a thui pah. A kho kung ah yalh tih rhap. Te vaengah a taengah Agagite Haman kah boethae neh Judah rhoek a taeng thil a kopoek te paa sak ham a bih.
4 Once again the king held out the golden scepter to Esther. She got up and stood before him.
Te vaengah manghai loh Esther taengla sui mancai a doe. Te dongah Esther te thoo tih manghai mikhmuh ah pai.
5 Esther said, “If it please Your Majesty, and if he looks on me favorably, and if the king believes it is the right thing to do, and if he is pleased with me, let an order be issued that revokes the letters sent out by Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, with his devious scheme to destroy the Jews in all the provinces of the king.
Te phoeiah, “Manghai ham khaw then mai tih a mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang mai atah, manghai mikhmuh ah khaw ol te khui coeng. Kai khaw a mikhmuh ah then coeng. Agagite Hammedatha capa Haman kah kopoek cabu te yueh hamla daek mai saeh. Te te manghai paeng pum ah Judah rhoek milh sak ham ni a daek.
6 For how can I bear to see the disaster about to fall on my people? How can I bear to see the destruction of my family?”
Boethae loh ka pilnam a tlak thil ham te metlam ka ueh vetih ka sawt eh? Ka pacaboeina kah mitmoengnah ham te metlam ka ueh vetih ka sawt eh?” a ti nah.
7 King Xerxes said to Esther the Queen and Mordecai the Jew, “Notice that I have given Haman's estate to Esther, and he was impaled on a pole because he wanted to kill the Jews.
Te vaengah manghai Ahasuerus loh manghainu Esther taeng neh Judah Mordekai taengah, “Haman im te Esther taengla ka paek coeng. Judah, Judah te a kut a hlah thil dongah amah khaw thing dongah ka kuiok sak coeng.
8 Now you may write an order regarding the Jews in whatever way you want, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring. For no decree written in the king's name and sealed with his signet ring can be revoked.”
Nangmih loh Judah rhoek ham te na mik ah then na ti bangla manghai ming neh daek pah laeh. Te phoeiah ca te manghai kah kutcaeng neh hnah thil. Manghai ming neh a daek tih manghai kutcaeng neh a hnah thil tah a yueh ham voel moenih,” a ti nah.
9 The king's secretaries were summoned, and on the twenty-third day of the third month, the month of Sivan, they wrote a decree of all of Mordecai's orders to the Jews and to the king's chief officers, the governors, and the nobles of the 127 provinces from India to Ethiopia. They wrote to every province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
Te dongah te khohnin ah manghai kah cadaek rhoek khue uh thae. Te te a kum kul kum thum nah, hla thum dongkah Sivan hla ni. Te vaengah Mordekai ol uen boeih te Judah rhoek ham neh khoboei rhoek ham khaw, India lamloh Kusah hil paeng ya pakul parhih kah paeng rhalboei rhoek neh mangpa ham khaw, paeng khat ah amah paeng kah ca neh, pilnam khat taengah amah pilnam ol neh, Judah ham khaw amah ca, amah ol neh a daek pah.
10 He wrote in the name of King Xerxes and sealed it with the king's signet ring. He sent the letters by messenger on horseback, who rode fast thoroughbred horses of the king.
Manghai Ahasuerus ming neh a daek tih manghai kutcaeng a hnah thil. Te phoeiah cabu te marhangpa, boei leng dongah ngol tih tatloe kut lamloh marhang dongah a pat.
11 The letters from the king authorized the Jews in every city to gather together in self-defense, and to destroy, kill, and annihilate any armed group of a people or province that might attack them, including women and children, and to confiscate their possessions.
Manghai loh Judah rhoek te khopuei, khopuei boeih ah tingtun ham neh amamih hinglu te pai puei ham, amih aka dum paeng neh pilnam tatthai boeih te tah mitmoeng sak ham, ngawn ham, milh sak ham, huta camoe neh a kutbuem te poelyoe pah ham a paek.
12 This was to happen on one day throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
Te te hla hlai nit, Adar hla hnin hlai thum dongah tah manghai Ahasuerus kah paeng pum ah hnin at neh saii saeh a ti.
13 A copy of the decree was to be issued as law in every province and publicized to the people so that the Jews would be ready on that day to pay back their enemies.
Catlaep ca te paeng, paeng boeih ah olkhan la paek ham, pilnam cungkuem taengah a tai sak. Te daengah ni Judah, Judah rhoek khaw te khohnin ah a thunkha rhoek soah phuloh ham khohrhang neh a coekcoe la a om eh.
14 By order of the king, the messengers riding the king's relay horses rushed out, hurrying on their way. The decree was also issued in the fortress of Susa.
Boei marhang dongah aka ngol tatloe rhoek loh tlek a thak uh. Te phoeiah manghai ol neh Shushan rhalmah im ah olkhan a paek te a khuen paitok.
15 Then Mordecai left the king, wearing royal clothes of blue and white, with a large golden crown and a purple robe made of fine linen. The city of Susa shouted with joy.
Mordekai khaw manghai mikhmuh lamloh manghai pueinak, a thim, a bok, boeilen sui rhuisam, baibok hni neh, daidi neh cet. Te daengah ni Shushan khopuei khaw hlampan tih a kohoe.
16 For the Jews it was a bright time of happiness, joy, and respect.
Judah ham khaw khosae neh kohoenah, omngaihnah neh umponah la a om pah.
17 In every province and in every city, wherever the king's order and decree had reached, the Jews were joyful and happy—they feasted and celebrated. Many people became Jews, because they had become afraid of them.
Paeng neh paeng tom ah khaw, khopuei neh khopuei tom ah khaw, manghai ol neh a olkhan loh a pha nah hmuen ah kohoenah neh omngaihnah om. Judah lakli ah khaw buhkoknah neh khohnin then a bul uh. Khohmuen pilnam lamkah te a taengah Judah birhihnah loh a khuk dongah Judah khuila muep kun uh.
