< Esther 3 >

1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
Phat chomkhat jouvin leng Xerxes in Agag mipa Hamadatha chapa Haman chu atohmun akalsah in amithupi holah a achungnung pen’in apansah in, aleng gamsunga vaihom ho jouse lah a thanei pen’in apansah tan ahi.
2 And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
Lengpa dinga vaipo ho jousen lengpa thupeh dungjuija Haman masanga hi dilsu sohkei diu jana apeh chehdiu ahi. Ahinlah Mordecai hi adilsu nompon jana jong ape nompon ahi.
3 Then the king’s servants, which were in the king’s gate, said to Mordecai, Why transgress you the king’s commandment?
Hichejou hin lengpa kelkot kom’a um lengpa khopi vaipo a panghon Mordecai jah a, “Nang in ipi dinga lengpa thupeh nanit louham?” atiuvin ahi.
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he listened not to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Amahon niseh in aseipeh jengun ahinlah aman thupeh chu ajuideh pon ahi. Hijeh chun amahon Mordecai chu Judate ahi chu ahet utoh kilhon chun Haman chun i-alo am ti in Mordecai umchan chu Haman chu aseipeh un ahi.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
Haman in Modecai chun a-anga abohkhup lou chuleh jana apehlou chu amun alung ahang lheh jeng tan ahi.
6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had showed him the people of Mordecai: why Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Aman Mordecai chu koi nam mi ahi ti ahin hetdoh phat in, Mordecai chung seh seh a thilse bolding chu ahin sit tan ahi. Hijeh chun Xerxes lenggam pumpin Judate te jouse suhmang dingin ahin gongtan ahi.
7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
Hiti chun leng Xerxes vaipoh kum somni le kumni channa Lhatun lhasung in athilgon ho tohdoh na dinga hi ipi lhapen lhasungin phading ham tichu Haman kom’a vangvetna ana um'in ahi (Hiche vangvetna chu Purim akiti). Anikho kilhengdoh chu alha Lhakao lha nisagi ni ahin, hiche nikho chu kumkhat jou anahi.
8 And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
Hijouchun Haman in leng Xerxes kom’a chun achen aga sei tai, “Naleng gamsunga hin namchom jatkhat aum in ama hohi gambih jousea hin akithe thangsoh hellun, chule midanga konin atumbeh in aumin ahi. Amahon midanga toh kibanglou dan chombeh aneiyun, lengpa na dan sem jonghi anit pouvin ahi. Hijeh chun amaho hinghoi ding lengpa dingin thilpha hiponte,” ati peh tai.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.
“Hijeh chun lengpa nalung lhaina ahiding leh amaho hi suhmangna dingin dan khat semdoh jengin lang hiche din tongdoh ding hochu keiman dangka talent sang som pe nange, amahon hiche lengpa sumkholna insunga koinao vinte.” ati.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
Lengpan aphatsah in, athulhuh nachu suhdetna in akhutna kon in akhutjem aladoh in Agag mipa Hammedatha chapa Haman Judate galmipa kom’a chun apetan ahi.
11 And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.
Lengpan aseijin, “Hiche sum chuleh mipi hochu nang khutna aum’e phante nati dan dannin boltan” ati.
12 Then were the king’s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded to the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king’s ring.
Hiti chun Lhatun nidan nisom le nisagi ni hin lengpa lekha sun hochu akoukhom un chuleh Haman dei dungjuitah chun dan khat jihdoh in aumtai. Hiche chu lengpa vaihom lenpen ho, gambih a gamvaipo ho, chuleh gambih jousea milen milal ho, amaho lekha jemleh apaocheh un akijihdoh in ahi. Hiche dan chu leng Xerxes min in akijih in achunga lengpa mohor chu akinam khum in ahi.
13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
Hiche lekha hochu gangtah a aga hopdoh loi diuvin thupole a pangho chu akisoldoh in, amahon lenggam sunga gambih ho jousea agahomdoh un Judate ho jouse khangdonga patna tehse gei, numei chapang puma nikhat sunga thadoh ding, suhmang chuleh suhbeihel ding ahi akiti. Hiche kinhi kumkit alha Lhakao ni sagi nia tohdoh teidinga thupeh ahi. Hitobanga kithat Judate ho thilkeo chu athat ho chang ding ahiuve.
14 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published to all people, that they should be ready against that day.
Hiche dan kijihna lekha hi gambih jousea thot-lut sohding chuleh mijouse lekha phondoh ding hitia chu akitep nikho ahunglhung teng tohdoh jeng theina diuva kigong ahi.
15 The posts went out, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
Lengpa thupeh a kon in, dan kisodoh hochu thupole hon gangtah a ahopdoh diu, Susa khopia akiphongdoh tai. Hiche jouchun lengpa le Haman atou lhonin adonkhom lhontai; ahinla Susa khopia mipite lah achun lungkham nale boina alhungtai.
