< 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.
Hote hnin dawkvah, siangpahrang Ahasuerus ni Judahnaw e taran Haman im hah siangpahrangnu Esta koe a poe. Esta ni Mordekai hoi bangtelamaw kâkuetnae ao tie kong a dei dawkvah Mordekai teh siangpahrang koe a kâen.
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 ni hai Haman kut dawk hoi a la e kuthrawt hah a rading teh Mordekai hah a poe. Esta ni hai Haman e im hah Mordekai a poe.
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.
Hahoi, Esta ni siangpahrang khok koe a tabo teh, Agag tami Haman ni a sak e yon, Judahnaw koe a kâcainae naw raphoe pouh hanlah mitphi hoi a kâhei.
4 Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
Siangpahrang ni sui sonron hah Esta koelah a dâw pouh. Hatdawkvah, Esta ni a thaw teh siangpahrang hmalah a kangdue teh,
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, ahawi na tetpawiteh, na lung ka youk pawiteh; siangpahrang hmunae dawk a lan teh lung kahawi sak e lah kaawm pawiteh, Agag tami Hamedatha capa Haman ni kho a khang e ca, siangpahrang uknaeram pueng dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koung thei hanlah telah a pathang e ca hah raphoe hanlah ca bout thun sak loe atipouh.
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?
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka miphunnaw koe hawihoehnae ka tho hane runae hoi thoseh, ka miphunnaw a raphoenae hai thoseh, kai ni ka khet hanelah bangtelamaw ka khang thai han, telah atipouh.
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.
Siangpahrang ni hai Haman ni Judahnaw koe kutpho hane a kâcai kecu dawkvah a im hah siangpahrangnu Esta koe ka poe toe. Ama haiyah khom dawk yo kaithi sak toe.
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.
Hahoi, siangpahrang kuthrawt hoi tacikkin e siangpahrang kâlawk hah apinihai raphoe thai mahoeh. Na lungngai e patetlah Judahnaw hanlah ca bout thun nateh, kuthrawt hoi tacikkin han telah siangpahrangnu Esta hoi Judah tami Mordekai koe atipouh.
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.
Hatnavah, Sivan thapa ayung pâthum, hnin 23 navah cakathutkungnaw a kaw teh India ram hoi Ethiopia ram totouh a ram 127 touh dawk kaawm e Judahnaw, ka ukkungnaw hoi kahrawikungnaw koevah Mordekai ni kâ a poe e patetlah Judahnaw e lawk lahoi miphun pueng e lawk lahoi,
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:
Siangpahrang Ahasuerus min lahoi ca a thut awh teh, siangpahrang e kuthrawt hoi tacik a kin hnukkhu, Marang, La, Kalauk kâcui laihoi ca kareinaw ni a poe awh.
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,
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni ram pueng dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng kamkhueng awh nateh, hringnae kâhruetcuet han hoi tuk hanlah ka tho e ransanaw pueng hah a yucanaw hoi koung thet awh nateh a hnopai hai la thainae kâ hah siangpahrang ni a poe.
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.
Siangpahrang Ahasuerus uknaeram pueng dawk teh thapa hlaikahni, Adar thapa hnin 13 nah, Judahnaw koung thei hanlah khokhangnae hnin dawk hno hanlah ao.
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.
Hete lawk teh, hatnae hnin roeroe nah a tarannaw e lathueng vah moipathung thai nahan hoi Judahnaw sut coungkacoe lah ao thai awh nahan, kho tangkuem vah koung patawn teh taminaw pueng koe pathang han, telah atipouh.
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.
Hote kâpoe e ca teh Shushan khopui dawk a pathang awh hnukkhu, siangpahrang ni kâpoe e patetlah marang kâcuie naw ni siangpahrang e marang a kâcui awh teh, karanglah a yawngkhai awh.
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 ni siangpahrang e angki pangaw opaou e a kho teh, suilukhung kalenpoung kâmuk hoi, kawng e hni paling opaou e a kâkhu teh,
16 The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
Susan khopui dawk e taminaw teh a lunghawi awh. Judahnaw teh lunghawinae, thahmeinae hoi barinae hah a coe awh.
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 e kâpoe e ca a phanae ram pueng dawkvah, Judahnaw ni lunghawinae, pawitonae, yawhawinae hnin yanae hah a sak awh teh, khoca ramca moi kapapnaw ni Judahnaw hah a taki awh dawkvah Judah phung lah a kâen awh.
