Esther 8
1 On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he [was] unto her.
Ahasuerus siangpahrang mah Judahnawk ih misa Haman ih long to siangpahrang zu Esther hanah paek. Esther mah Mordekai hoi anghnaihaih kawng to siangpahrang khaeah thuih pae boeh pongah, Mordekai loe siangpahrang hmaa ah caeh.
2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Siangpahrang mah Haman khae ih angmah ih bantuek to khringh moe, Mordekai hanah paek. Esther mah doeh Haman ih im to Mordekai hanah paek.
3 And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
Esther loe siangpahrang khokkung ah akuep moe, Agag acaeng Haman mah sak ih zaehaih, Judahnawk tamit boih hanah pacaenghaih to boengsak hanah tahmenhaih hnik let.
4 Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
Siangpahrang mah angmah ih sui cunghet to kalah bangah paqoi ving. To pongah Esther loe angthawk tahang moe, a hmaa ah angdoet,
5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing [seem] right before the king, and I [be] pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which [are] in all the king’s provinces:
siangpahrang koehhaih baktiah ka oh moe, na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh nahaeloe, na hmaa ah katoengah ka oh moe, na mikhnukah koeh koiah ka oh nahaeloe, Agag acaeng, Hammedatha capa Haman mah siangpahrang prae thung boih ah kaom Judahnawk tamit boih hanah tarik ih ca to ka phraek boeh, tiah taphong hanah ka koehhaih oh;
6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
kai ih kaminawk nuiah kapha han koi amrohaih to kawbangmaw ka pauep thai tih? To tih ai boeh loe kaimah ih canawk amrohaih to kawbangmaw ka khen thai tih? tiah a naa.
7 Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
Ahasuerus siangpahrang mah siangpahrang zu Esther hoi Judah kami Mordekai khaeah, Khenah, Haman mah Judahnawk nuiah ban phok pongah, anih ih im to Esther hanah ka paek moe, angmah to doeh tung pongah bangh o boeh.
8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal [it] with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
Siangpahrang ih ahmin hoiah tarik moe, siangpahrang ih bantuek hoiah catui daeng ih ca loe, mi kawbaktih mah doeh phraek han om ai pongah, koeh baktiah, siangpahrang ih ahmin hoiah Judahnawk hanah ca tarik hoi ah loe, siangpahrang ih bantuek hoiah catui to daeng ah, tiah a naa.
9 Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that [is], the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which [are] from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
To naah Sivan, tiah kawk ih khrah thumto haih, ni pumphae thumto naah, siangpahrang im ih ca tarik kaminawk to kawk o moe, Mordekai mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, India hoi Ethiopia karoek to, prae cumvai, pumphae sarihto thungah kaom, Judahnawk, prae ukkungnawk, prae ahap ukkung angraengnawk hoi vangpui ukkungnawk khaeah ca tarik o; to lokpaekhaih ca loe prae boih ah angmacae mah patoh ih ca, angmacae ih lok hoiah tarik moe, a pat o; Judahnawk khaeah doeh angmacae ih ca hoi lok baktih toengah tarik o.
10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed [it] with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, [and] riders on mules, camels, [and] young dromedaries:
Mordekai mah siangpahrang ih ahmin hoiah ca to tarik moe, siangpahrang ih bantuek hoiah catui to a daengh; to canawk loe ca phawkungnawk mah siangpahrang ih hrang, mule hrang, kaengkuu hrang hoiah karangah pat o.
11 Wherein the king granted the Jews which [were] in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, [both] little ones and women, and [to take] the spoil of them for a prey,
Siangpahrang lokpaekhaih mah, prae kruekah kaom Judahnawk nawnto amkhueng thaihaih, angmacae hing angvaeng thaihaih, nihcae tuh kaminawk hoi praenawk to, nawkta hoi nongpata pathlaeng ai ah paro thaihaih, hum thaihaih hoi tamit thaihaih to paek khue ai ah, a misanawk ih hmuennawk boih lomh pae thaihaih to paek,
12 Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, [namely], upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which [is] the month Adar.
khrah hatlai hnetto haih, Adar khrah, ni hatlai thumto naah, Judahnawk mah siangpahrang Ahasuerus ukhaih prae thung boih ah to tiah sak thaihaih to tawnh o.
13 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province [was] published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
To niah Judahnawk mah angmacae misa ih nuiah lulak han amsak o coek hanah, to lokpaekhaih ca pakong ih kawpi to prae kruekah pat o moe, prae congca kaminawk to panoek o sak.
14 [So] the posts that rode upon mules [and] camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
To lokpaekhaih ca loe siangpahrang ohhaih Susan vangpui hoiah taphong o, phrae thai ai siangpahrang lokpaekhaih ah oh baktih toengah, ca phawkungnawk loe mule hrang hoi kaengkuu hrang to angthueng o moe, karangah ca to caeh o haih.
15 And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
Mordekai doeh siangpahrang ih kahni kanglung hoi kam-iing to angkhuk moe, lensawk sui lumuek hoi rong kamling hup puungan kahni to angkhuk pacoengah, siangpahrang hmaa hoiah tacawt; to naah Susan vangpui ah anghoehaih hoi nawmhaih to oh.
16 The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
Judah kaminawk han doeh aanghaih, anghoehaih, nawmhaih hoi pakoehhaih niah oh.
17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
Siangpahrang ih lok phakhaih prae hoi vangpui kruekah kaom Judahnawk loe anghoe o moe, nawm o pacoengah, anghoehaih poih to a sak o. Judahnawk to zit o pongah, paroeai prae kaminawk loe Judah phungah akun o.
