Esther 9
1 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the king's order and decree were to be carried out. That day the enemies of the Jews had thought they would crush them, but the exact opposite happened—the Jews crushed their enemies.
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 The Jews gathered in their cities throughout the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those who wanted to destroy them. Nobody could oppose them, because all the other people were afraid of them.
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 All the officials of the provinces, the chief officers, the governors, and the king's officials helped the Jews, because they were afraid of Mordecai.
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 Mordecai had a great deal of power in the royal palace, and his reputation spread throughout the provinces as his power increased.
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 The Jews attacked their enemies with swords, killing and destroying them, and they did whatever they wanted to their enemies.
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 In the fortress of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
Shushan khopui dawk tami 500touh a thei awh.
7 This included Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Hamedatha, Judahnaw katarankung Haman canaw hra touh,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Pamashta, Arisai,
10 the ten sons of Haman, son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, but they did not take their possessions.
Aridai, Vaizatha hah a thei awh. Hateiteh, a hnopai teh lat pouh awh hoeh.
11 The same day, when the number of those killed in the fortress of Susa was reported to the king,
Hat hnin vah shushan kho dawk kadout e cayin hah siangpahrang koe a thaisak awh.
12 he said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including Haman's ten sons. Imagine what they've done in the rest of the royal provinces! Now what is it you'd like to ask? It will be given to you. What more do you want? It will be granted.”
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 “If it please Your Majesty,” Esther replied, “allow the Jews in Susa be allowed to do the same tomorrow as they did today, following the decree. Also, let the ten sons of Haman be impaled on poles.”
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 The king ordered this to be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they impaled the bodies of Haman's ten sons.
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 On the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, the Jews in Susa gathered together again and killed three hundred men there, but again they did not take their possessions.
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 The other Jews in the king's provinces also gathered to defend themselves and get rid of their enemies. They killed 75,000 who hated them, but did not touch their possessions.
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 This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and celebration.
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 However, the Jews in Susa had gathered to fight on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days of the month. So they rested on the fifteenth day, and made that a day of feasting and celebration.
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 To this day rural Jews, living in the villages, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of celebration and feasting, a holiday when they send gifts to one another.
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 Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces ruled by King Xerxes, near and far,
Mordekai ni hote kongnaw pueng a thut teh siangpahrang Ahasuerus uknaeram dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koevah a patawn.
21 requiring them to celebrate every year the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar
Adar thapa hnin 14 hoi 15 hnin heh a kum tangkuem ahnimouh hanlah, ka lentoe e hnin lah caksak hanlah a pathang awh.
22 as the time when the Jews rested from their victory over their enemies, and as the month when their sadness was turned into joy and their mourning into a time of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving gifts of food to one another and presents 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 The Jews agreed to continue what they had already started doing, following what Mordecai had written to them.
Judahnaw ni hai nueng a sak e Mordekai a dei e patetlah pou sak a hanlah a lungkuep awh.
24 For Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted to destroy the Jews, and had cast “pur” (meaning a “lot”) to crush and destroy them.
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 But when it came to the king's attention, he sent out letters ordering that the evil scheme which Haman had planned against the Jews should rebound on him, and that he and his sons should be impaled on poles.
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 (That's why these days are called Purim, from the word Pur.) As a result of all the instructions in Mordecai's letter, and what they'd seen, and what had happened to them,
Purim cungpam tie tarawi teh hote hninnaw hah Purim cungpam hnin telah a kaw awh.
27 the Jews committed themselves to adopt the practice that they and their descendants and all who join them should not forget to celebrate these two days as set down, and at the right time every year.
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 days were to be remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim would always be observed among the Jews, and they would not be forgotten by their descendants.
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 Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, wrote a letter, along with Mordecai the Jew, giving in her letter full authority to Mordecai's letter about Purim.
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 Letters expressing peace and reassurance were also sent all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the empire of King Xerxes.
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 They established these days of Purim at their given time as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had ordered, committing themselves and their descendants to the times of fasting and mourning.
Ahasuerus ni uknaeram 127 touh dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koe roumnae yuemkamcu e ca hah Mordekai ni a poe.
32 In this way Esther's decree confirmed these practices regarding Purim, which were entered in the official record.
Hottelah, cungpam kong teh Esta ni kâpoe e lahoi a caksak awh teh siangpahrangnaw e cungpam dawkvah a thut awh.
