Esther 9
1 Now in the twelfth month, that [is], the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them; )
Siangpahrang lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, sakhaih atue anghnaih moe, Judahnawk ih misa ah kaom kaminawk mah Judahnawk ngawn loe ka pazawk o tih, tiah a poek o haih ih niah oh e, Judahnawk mah nihcae hnuma kaminawk pazawk lathaih ni, khrah hatlai hnetto haih, Adar khrah, ni hatlai thumto naah,
2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
nihcae tamit hanah pacaeng kaminawk tuk hanah, Ahasuerus siangpahrang prae thung boih ah kaom Judahnawk loe nawnto amkhueng o; kaminawk boih mah nihcae to zit o pongah, mi mah doeh nihcae to sui ai.
3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
Mordekai to zit o pongah, prae ukkungnawk, bomkung angraengnawk, vangpui ukkungnawk, siangpahrang toksah kaminawk mah Judahnawk to abomh o.
4 For Mordecai [was] great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
Mordekai loe siangpahrang im ah lensawkhaih hoiah oh, anih ih ahmin loe prae kruekah amthang; anih loe nito hoi nito ahmin amthang aep aep.
5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
To na niah Judahnawk mah angmacae ih misanawk to sumsen hoiah takroek o, nihcae to hum o moe, amro o sak boih; a sak koeh o ih baktih toengah nihcae hnuma kaminawk nuiah a sak o.
6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
Siangpahrang ohhaih Susan vangpui thungah, Judahnawk mah kami cumvai pangato hum o.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Judahnawk ih misa Mammedatha capa, Haman capa hatonawk; Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai hoi Vajezatha cae to hum pae o boih.
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
To na niah siangpahrang ohhaih Susan vangpui thungah hum o ih kaminawk to siangpahrang hmaa sinh pae o.
12 And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what [is] thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what [is] thy request further? and it shall be done.
Siangpahrang mah siangpahrang zu Esther khaeah, Judahnawk mah Susan vangpui thungah kami cumvai pangato hoi Haman ih capa hatonawk to hum o moe, tamit o boih boeh; kalah siangpahrang ukhaih prae thungah timaw sah o vop tih? Vaihi tahmen nang hnikhaih timaw oh vop? Nang hnik ih hmuen to kang sak pae han; to tih ai boeh loe tih kalah hmuen maw nang hnik let han vop? Nang hnik ih hmuen to kang paek han, tiah a naa.
13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which [are] in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
Esther mah, Siangpahrang koehhaih baktiah ka oh nahaeloe, vaihniah a sak o ih baktih toengah, khawnbangah doeh sak o hanah Susan vangpui ah kaom Judahnawk khaeah lokpaek ah. Haman ih capa hatonawk to tung pongah bang o nasoe, tiah a naa.
14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
To tiah sak hanah siangpahrang mah paek ih lok oh pongah, a paek ih lok baktih toengah Susan vangpui ah taphong o moe, Haman ih capa hatonawk to tung pongah bangh o.
15 For the Jews that [were] in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
Susan vangpui ah kaom Judahnawk loe, Adar khrah, ni hatlai palito naah nawnto amkhueng o moe, Susan vangpui ah kami cumvai thumto hum o; toe hmuennawk loe lomh pae o ai.
16 But the other Jews that [were] in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
Toe siangpahrang ukhaih prae thungah kaom kalah Judahnawk doeh, angmacae hinghaih to angvaeng o, nihcae loe misa ban thungah pha o ai kamongah khosak o; nihcae loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, angmacae ih misa sing sarih, sang pangato hum o, toe hmuennawk loe la pae o ai,
17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
to tiah kaom hmuen loe Adar khrah, ni hatlai thumto niah oh, ni hatlai palito naah loe, anghak o moe, anghoehaih hoiah buhraenghaih poih to a sak o.
18 But the Jews that [were] at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth [day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Toe Susan vangpui ah kaom Judahnawk loe ni hatlai thumto hoi ni hatlai palito naah, nawnto amkhueng o; ni hatlai pangato naah loe anghak o moe, anghoehaih hoiah buhraenghaih poih to a sak o.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar [a day of] gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
Tapang pakaahaih om ai avang ah kaom Judahnawk doeh, Adar khrah, hatlai palito haih nito, ani kahoih, anghoehaih hoi buhraenghaih ni, maeto hoi maeto tangqum paekhaih niah patoh o.
20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that [were] in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, [both] nigh and far,
Hae tiah kaom hmuennawk to Mordekai mah cabu thungah tarik moe, Ahasuerus siangpahrang ukhaih prae thung boih, kangthla hoi kanghnai ah kaom Judahnawk boih khaeah,
21 To stablish [this] among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
saning kruek, Adar khrah, ni hatlai palito hoi ni hatlai pangato naah patoh han ih,
22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
Judah kaminawk misa ban thung hoi loihaih, palungsethaih to anghoehaih ah angcoenghaih akhrah, qahhaih to nawmhaih ah angcoenghaih ni to poihsakhaih hoi anghoehaih niah patoh moe, maeto hoi maeto tangqum angpaekhaih ni, amtang kaminawk abomhaih niah patoh o poe hanah, ca a pat pae.
23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
Mordekai mah ca pat ih baktih toengah, Judahnawk mah sak amtong o;
24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that [is], the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
Judahnawk ih misa Agag acaeng Hammedatha capa Haman loe, Judahnawk to hum moe, tamit boih hanah, Pur, tiah kawk ih, taham khethaih phoisa to a vah;
25 But when [Esther] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
toe Esther mah siangpahrang hmaa ah caeh naah, Haman mah Judahnawk nuiah kasae sak pacaeng ih hmuen to angmah ih lu nuiah kraksak hanah a hnik; to naah siangpahrang mah Haman angmah hoi a capanawk boih tung pongah bangh hanah lokpaek lat.
26 Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and [of that] which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
To pongah nihcae mah Pur, tiah kaom ahmin to lak o moe, vaihni ni khoek to to ih ani to Purim, tiah kawk o. To ih ca pongah kaom lokpaekhaihnawk boih hoi nihcae mah hnuk o ih hmuen kawng pongah,
27 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their [appointed] time every year;
Judahnawk loe angmacae hoi a caanawk boih, nihcae phung ah akun kaminawk boih, Mordekai mah tarik ih ca baktih, anih mah khaeh ih ni baktih toengah, aek ai ah saning kruek, hae ani hnetto hae uumhaih sak han ih,
28 And [that] these days [should be] remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and [that] these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
Pur ni loe Judah kaminawk thung hoiah anghmat ving han ai ah, a caanawk dung khoek to anghma ai ah, adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to patoh han ih, angmacae imthung takoh boih, prae boih hoi vangpuinawk boih ah pahnet ai ah patoh hanah a thuih pae o.
29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
To pacoengah Abihail canu Esther hoi Judah acaeng Mordekai mah, Purim ni to caksak poe hanah, sakthaihaih tha patoh moe, vai hnetto haih ca tarik hoi let.
30 And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words of peace and truth,
Mordekai mah Ahasuerus siangpahrang ukhaih prae cumvai, pumphae sarihto thungah kaom, Judah kaminawk boih khaeah, monghaih hoi khosak hoihaih loknawk hoiah ca to pat pae hoi.
31 To confirm these days of Purim in their times [appointed], according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
Atue phak naah, Purim ni to patoh hanah, Judah kami Mordekai hoi siangpahrang zu Esther ih lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, angmacae hoi a caanawk dung khoek to, buhzahhaih hoi qahhaih tue ah patoh o hanah, lokpaekhaih to a sak hoi.
32 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Esther mah paek ih lok mah Purim ni to caksak moe, cabu thungah tarik o.
