< Esther 4 >

1 Now when Mordecai perceiued all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackecloth and ashes, and went out into the middes of the citie, and cryed with a great crye, and a bitter.
Mordekai ni hote hnonaw pueng a panue toteh a angki a phi teh buri kâkhu laihoi vaiphu a kâphuen, khothung a cei teh, lungrek laihoi puenghoi a ka.
2 And he came euen before the Kings gate, but he might not enter within the Kings gate, being clothed with sackecloth.
Siangpahrang thongma longkha totouh a cei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, apihai buri kâkhu hoi siangpahrang thongma dawk kâen han pasoung awh hoeh.
3 And in euery prouince, and place, whither the Kings charge and his commission came, there was great sorowe among the Iewes, and fasting, and weeping and mourning, and many laye in sackecloth and in ashes.
Siangpahrang ni kâpoe e ca a phanae ram pueng dawk Judahnaw koe cingounae, rawcahainae, khuikanae a sak awh teh, taminaw ni buri hoi vaiphu dawk a yan awh.
4 Then Esters maydes and her eunuches came and tolde it her: therefore the Queene was very heauie, and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackecloth from him, but he receiued it not.
Hottelah, Esta ni a okhai e napui hoi tuenlanaw ni a dei pouh teh siangpahrang yu teh a lung puenghoi a mathoe, Mordekai hah buri kâkhu yueng lah lukkarei kâkhu hanlah a patawn. Hatei, dâw pouh hoeh.
5 Then called Ester Hatach one of the Kings eunuches, whom he had appointed to serue her, and gaue him a commandement vnto Mordecai, to knowe what it was, and why it was.
Hatdawkvah, Esta ni ama ka ring hanlah tuenla e tami buet touh, Hathakh a kaw teh, hote hno teh bangmaw, bangkongmaw ti panue han a ngai dawkvah Mordekai koevah a patoun.
6 So Hatach went foorth to Mordecai vnto the streete of the citie, which was before the Kings gate.
Hatdawkvah, Hathakh ni siangpahrang thongma longkha koe kaawm e Mordekai koe a cei.
7 And Mordecai tolde him of all that which had come vnto him, and of the summe of the siluer that Haman had promised to pay vnto the Kings treasures, because of the Iewes, for to destroy them.
Mordekai ni a lathueng ka phat e hnonaw pueng hai thoseh, Judahnaw thei hanelah siangpahrang hnoim dawk Haman ni tangka poe hane lawk a kam e totouh thoseh, totouh koung a dei pouh.
8 Also he gaue him the copy of the writing and commission that was giuen at Shushan, to destroy them, that he might shewe it vnto Ester and declare it vnto her, and to charge her that she should goe in to the King, and make petition and supplication before him for her people.
Hahoi, Esta hah khen sak nateh deingainae deicai pouh han hoi siangpahrang koe kâhei hanlah a patoun. Ama thei nahanelah Susan im vah ca pathang e hai a poe.
9 So when Hatach came, he told Ester the wordes of Mordecai.
Hathakh ni Esta koe Mordekai ni lawkthui e naw pueng a dei pouh.
10 Then Ester sayde vnto Hatach, and commanded him to say vnto Mordecai,
Esta ni Hathakh koe a dei pouh e teh;
11 All the Kings seruants and the people of the Kings prouinces doe knowe, that whosoeuer, man or woman, that commeth to the King into the inner court, which is not called, there is a law of his, that he shall dye, except him to whom the King holdeth out the golden rodde, that he may liue. Now I haue not bene called to come vnto the King these thirtie dayes.
siangpahrang sannaw puenghoi a uknaeram thung kaawm e taminaw pueng ni napui thoseh, tongpa thoseh, apihai kaw laipalah siangpahrang koevah a thung e rapan thung kâen pawiteh phunglam buet touh duengdoeh ao tie teh tami pueng ni panue awh. Hote phunglam teh siangpahrang ni a hring nahanlah sui sonron hah dâw pouh hoeh pawiteh apihai thoseh thei hanelah ao. Hahoi, atu hnin 30 touh kâen hanlah na kaw hoeh toe, telah Mordekai koe dei pouh hanlah lawk a thui.
12 And they certified Mordecai of Esters wordes.
Esta ni lawkthui e teh Mordekai koe a dei pouh.
13 And Mordecai saide, that they should answere Ester thus, Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the Kings house, more then all the Iewes.
Mordekai ni Esta hah lawk bout a pathung e teh, “Judahnaw pueng ni a roun thai hoeh e, siangpahrang im dawk teh ka roun thai han doeh telah pouk hanh.
14 For if thou holdest thy peace at this time, comfort and deliuerance shall appeare to the Iewes out of another place, but thou and thy fathers house shall perish: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time?
Bangkongtetpawiteh, het patet e tueng nah duem na awm pawiteh, alouke Judahnaw hanlah rounnae hoi hloutnae kaawm nakunghai, nang hoi na pa imthungkhunaw pueng teh koung due awh han. Het patetlae thaw na tawk hanelah nahoehmaw nang teh siangpahrangnu lah uknaeram dawk ka o tie na panuek hoeh maw.
15 Then Ester commanded to answere Mordecai,
Hatdawkvah, Esta ni Mordekai e lawk pathung hanlah bout a patoun teh,
16 Goe, and assemble all the Iewes that are found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and eate not, nor drinke in three dayes, day nor night. I also and my maydes will fast likewise, and so will I go in to the King, which is not according to the lawe: and if I perish, I perish.
Cet nateh, Susan kho kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koung kaw nateh, kai hanlah hnin thum, rum thum rawcahai awh. Kai hoi kai koe kaawm e napuinaw van hai rawcahai awh han. Hahoi, phunglam laipalah siangpahrang koe ka kâen han. Ka due hanlah awm pawiteh ka due han, telah a ti.
17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Ester had commanded him.
Hatdawkvah, Mordekai teh Esta ni kâ a poe e patetlah a cei teh a sak.
