< Esther 1 >
1 In the dayes of Ahashuerosh (this is Ahashuerosh that reigned, from India euen vnto Ethiopia, ouer an hundreth, and seuen and twentie prouinces)
Leng Xerxes vaipoh laiya thilsoh ho ahi, amahin India a pat a Ethiopia gam geija gam jakhat le somni le sagi chunga vai anahop ahi.
2 In those dayes when the King Ahashuerosh sate on his throne, which was in the palace of Shushan,
Hiche phatlai chun Xerxes lengpa chu Susa khopia alaltouna a anatouvin lengvai anapo in ahi.
3 In the third yeere of his reigne, he made a feast vnto all his princes and his seruants, euen the power of Persia and Media, and to the captaines and gouernours of the prouinces which were before him,
Avaihom na kumthum channa a chun amilen le amilal ho jouse dingle vaihom ho jouse dingin golvah loupitah khat ana bollin ahi. Hichea pang ding hin Persia le Media gamsunga leng hole epia lamkai ho jouse jong akouvin ahi.
4 That he might shewe the riches and glorie of his kingdome, and the honour of his great maiestie many dayes, euen an hundreth and foure score dayes.
Golvah loupitah chu ni jakhat le somget geijin achelhan ahi. Hiche sungchun, agamsung loupina le thaneina, ahaonale aloupina atah langin ahi.
5 And when these dayes were expired, the King made a feast to all the people that were founde in the palace of Shushan, both vnto great and small, seuen dayes, in the court of the garden of the Kings palace,
Hicheng chu akichaisoh phat in, lengpan Susa khopi sunga um mi alenpen apat aneopen geidingin golvah khat abolkit in ahi. Hiche chu lengpa khopi honsung tol lhanga chun ni sagi achelha kit in ahi.
6 Vnder an hanging of white, greene, and blue clothes, fastened with cordes of fine linen and purple, in siluer rings, and pillars of marble: the beds were of golde, and of siluer vpon a pauement of porphyre, and marble and alabaster, and blue colour.
Hichea hin len inpi leitol chu pondal pon, ponkang jong, pondum jong tupat ponnem patjang chutoh akijop matsoh keijin, ponsandup chuto jong akijop in, dangka sumkol ho chutoh akijopmat soh keijin, songval khompia kisemma kiphut hoa chun akihenin ahi. Phatah a kijempol kalbi leijong chu sanale dangka kiphan song mantam ton akihallin songval akigollin, twikoh chang le songmantam dang dang tampi toh akihallin ahi.
7 And they gaue them drinke in vessels of golde, and changed vessel after vessel, and royall wine in abundance according to the power of the King.
Leng in na juchu neng chatna jatchom choma kijem sana khon ho a chu kidon ahin, hichu lengpa ninglhinnale ahongphalna atah langin ahi.
8 And the drinking was by an order, none might compel: for so the King had appoynted vnto all the officers of his house, that they should do according to euery mans pleasure.
Akhopi sunga vaihom hochun min ama ama ngaichat dungjui cheh a agotchan na adon ding uva ahomdoh diuvin lengpan thupeh aneiyin ahi.
9 The Queene Vashti made a feast also for the women in the royall house of King Ahashuerosh.
Hichetoh kilhon hin lengnu Vashti in jong leng Xerxes khopi sunga numeiho ding in golvah ana bollin ahi.
10 Vpon the seuenth daye when the King was merie with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seuen eunuches, (that serued in the presence of King Ahashuerosh)
Hiche golvah ni sagi channa niachun lengpa Xerxes chu ju akhamlheh jengtan ahileh ama jenle’a pang nukiso mi sagiho, Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar chule Carcas chu,
11 To bring Queene Vashti before the King with the crowne royall, that he might shewe the people and the princes her beautie: for shee was fayre to looke vpon.
Lengnu Vashti in alallukhuh kikhuh puma lengpa ang sung’a ahung dingin gapuijun tin asoltan ahi. Amanu chu numei hoitah ahijeh chun amilen amilalten amel hoina chu ana vetsoh keidiu chu adei ahi.
12 But the Queene Vashti refused to come at the Kings worde, which he had giuen in charge to the eunuches: therefore the King was very angry, and his wrath kindled in him.
Ahinlah amahon lengpa thupeh chu lengnu Vashti kom’a aga hetsah phat’un amanu chu ahung nom tapon ahi. Hiche chun lengpa chu alung ahansah lheh jengtan, alunghan akoudoh leuvin ahi.
13 Then the King said to the wise men, that knew the times (for so was the Kings maner towards all that knew the law and the iudgement:
Aman Persia mite danle chena lhongpiho hethem ama thumop apang phattinna ana dohjing saho chu gangtah in adongtan ahi.
14 And the next vnto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan the seuen princes of Persia and Media, which sawe the Kings face, and sate the first in the kingdome)
Amaho minchu Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena chule Memucan - Media leh Persia mithupi sagi hochu ahiuve. Amahohi leng gamsunga panmun sangpen loiho chu ahiuvin, lenga toh phat tinna kimuto jing jiuva ahi.
15 What shall we do vnto the Queene Vashti according to the law, because she did not according to the worde of the King Ahashuerosh by the commission of the eunuches?
“Lengnu Vashti hi i-loding ham? Lengpa keiman nukisoho kaga kousah a lengpa thupeh palkeh a hung nomlou lengnu chu dan dung jui'a itobang gotna peh dinga lom am?” tin lengpan adongtan ahi.
16 Then Memucan answered before the King and the Princes, The Queene Vashti hath not only done euill against the King, but against all the princes, and against all the people that are in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh.
Memucan chun lengpa leh amithupi hochu hiti hin adonbut’e, “Vashti lengnu hin lengpa keo hilouvin naleng gam pumpi sunga milen milal ho jouse leh gamsunga cheng mipiho jouse hi anoise ahi.
17 For the acte of the Queene shall come abroade vnto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their owne eyes, and shall say, The King Ahashuerosh comanded Vashti the Queene to be brought in before him, but she came not.
Lengnu Vashti hin lengpan akom’a hunghen tia akou in anompoi tihi muntinna numeihon ajah tenguleh ajiteu hi anoise diu ahitai.
18 So shall the princesses of Persia and Media this day say vnto all the Kings Princes, when they heare of the acte of the Queene: thus shall there be much despitefulnesse and wrath.
Tunilhum masang ngeihin Persia le Media gamsunga milen milal ho jouse jiten lengnu umchan hi hin jadoh untin ajipa teu hi ahin nahsah loudiu ahitai. Hitia chu lunghan nale thangtom na a hung dimset ding ahi.
19 If it please the King, let a royal decree proceede from him, and let it be written among the statutes of Persia, and Media, (and let it not be transgressed) that Vashti come no more before King Ahashuerosh: and let the King giue her royal estate vnto her companion that is better then she.
Hijeh chun lengpan na phatsah dinga ahileh Persia le Media gamsunga khelthei lou helding dan khat jihtho inlang phongdoh lechun kadeije. Lengnu Vashti hin lengpa Xerxes hi amai amukit tah louhel dingin a-imatih channa dingin kaidoh in um henlang lengpa dingin nakiloppi tah lengnu chomkhat kilheng doh hen katin,” ahi.
20 And when the decree of the King which shalbe made, shalbe published throughout all his kingdome (though it be great) all the women shall giue their husbands honour, both great and small.
“Hiche dan hi lenggam pumpia hi ahung kiphondoh tengleh muntinna mipate hin itobang panmun nei hijongleu aji teuva konna achan diuva lom jana akimudiu ahi,” atipeh tai.
21 And this saying pleased the King and the princes, and the King did according to the worde of Memucan.
Lengpa le amilen amilal hojousen Memucan’s thumop hi pha asasoh kei taovin ahi.
22 For he sent letters into all the prouinces of the King, into euery prouince according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their language, that euery man should beare rule in his owne house, and that he should publish it in the language of that same people.
Hiti chun lengpan agamsung pumpi gambih sung jousea ama ama pao le lekhajem a athotdoh in, mipa jousehi ama ama insunga thanei vaihom hiding chule athu thua hiding ahi tin aphongdoh tan ahi.
