< Esther 5 >

1 And it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and placed herself in the inner court of the king's house, opposite the king's apartment; and the king was sitting upon his royal throne in the royal apartment, opposite to the entrance of the house.
A an-ngol nithum lhinni chun, Esther in lengnu von in akivon in, indan sungnung’a alut in, lengpa touna laltouna na chu angan agading tai. Lengpa chu indan sunga alatouna a chun atouvin, kotphung lam chu ana nga in ahi.
2 And it happened, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained grace in his eyes; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand; and Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Aman lengnu Esther chu indan sungnung lang ngatna a adin chu amutan ahi, hichun aman anasang in asana tenggol chu agah lhundoh peh in ahi. Hichun Esther in anailut in ateng golchu athamtan ahi.
3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? if it be equal to half of the kingdom it shall still be given thee.
Hijouchun lengpan adongtan ahi: “Lengnu Esther ipi nadei ham? Ipiham nathum nom chu? Kaleng gam akehkhat jen hijongleh napenge!” ati.
4 And Esther said, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet which I have prepared for him.
Esther in adonbut in, “Lengpa nalung ahiding leh lengpa dinga kagon golvah ankong’a hin Haman toh tuni hin hunglhon lechun kati,” ati tan ahi.
5 Then said the king, Bring Haman quickly hither to fulfill the word of Esther: so came the king with Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.
Lengpan alhachaho khat akouvin, Esther in agon golvah ankong um ding'in Haman gangtah in hung hen tin aga kousah tai. Hiti chun lengpa le Haman chu Esther golvah ankong um ding'in ache lhontai.
6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even if it be equal to half of the kingdom, it shall still be done.
Hitia chu aneh uva adon laitah un, lengpan Esther jah a, “Tun ipi mong ham nadeichu seitan, ipiham nathum nomchu? Kalenggam akehkhat hijongleh kapeh ding nahi!” ati.
7 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request are,
Esther lin adonbut nin: “Hichehi kathum nom leh kangai chatpen chu ahi.
8 If I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to fulfill my request, that the king may come with Haman to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow will I do according to the word of the king.
Lengpa nalunglhaina kahi khah a chuleh lengpan kathilthum neisanpeh dinghi nalunglhaina ahidinga, kathum neibolpeh dinga ahileh jingteng jongle kagolvah ankonga Haman toh hungkit lhon inlang hitengle chu ipi kadei ham seichen nange” ati.
9 And Haman went forth on that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, who did not rise up, nor move out of the way for him, then was Haman filled against Mordecai with fury.
Hiche golvah ankong adalhah chun Haman akipah lheh jenge! Ahinla Mordecai chu leng inpi kelkot phung’a anatouva, amasang a ding dohlou chule jana imacha apehlou jeh chun Haman alunghan adeojah tan ahi.
10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went to his house: he then sent and had his friends brought in with Zeresh his wife.
Ahivanga amale ama akitim ham ham in ain ajon ahi. Hiche jouchun Haman in aloi agol ho leh ajinu Zaresh akou khom in,
11 And Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had made him great, and how he had advanced him above the princes and the servants of the king.
Cha tamtah aneijeh leh nei le gou ahaojeh in amaho kom’a chun kiletsah tah in thu aseijin ahi. Lengpan vaipo ho jouse le milen milal hojouse chung alenpenna atahsang nale jana apehho jeh chun aham hoitho lheh jengin ahi.
12 And Haman said [farther], Yea, Esther the queen did not let any one come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself: and also for tomorrow am I invited unto her with the king.
Haman in aseijin “Hiche ho chungchon ah, Esther lengnu in golvah ankong agonna a lengpa toh ankong umkhom dingin koimacha dang koulouvin keibou eikouvin ahi, chule jing jongleh lengpa toh keibou eikoukit lhonin ahi.” Ati.
13 Yet all this profiteth me nothing, every time that I see Mordecai the Jew sitting in the king's gate.
“Ahijeng vang'in hiche Judate mipa Mordecai khu khopi kelkotna atou kamulai sen kakipana ho jousehi amolsoh jitai,” ati.
14 Then said unto him Zeresh his wife with all his friends, Let them make a gallows of fifty cubits high, and in the mourning speak unto the king that they may hang Mordecai thereon; and then go thou in with the king unto the banquet joyfully. And the thing pleased Haman; and he had the gallows made.
Hijeh chun Haman jinu Zaresh chuleh aloi agolhon aseipeh un, “Thinglhon hem feet som sage le nga a sangkhat tungdoh inlang jingkah tengleh lengpa kom’a chun Mordecai khetbehna dingin ga-ngeh lechun ahijenge” ati peh un ahi. Hichechu akichaiteng leh lengnu golvah a ding chun lungmongin chethei tan nate” atiuvin ahi. Hiche chun Haman alunglhai sahlheh jengin thing lhonchu tundoh dingin thu apetai.
