Esther 2
1 After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of King Ahasuerus, he has remembered Vashti, and that which she did, and that which has been decreed concerning her;
Hahoi, siangpahrang Ahasuerus teh a lungkhueknae a roum navah, Vashti hai thoseh, ahni ni a sak e hoi ahni hanlah a sak e naw hai thoseh, bout a pouk
2 and servants of the king, his ministers, say, “Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance,
Siangpahrang pouknae kapoekungnaw ni ahni koevah, “Siangpahrang hanlah tanglakacuem a meikahawi tawng awh sei,
3 and the king appoints inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman—virgin, of good appearance—to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, to the hand of Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications,
Ram pueng dawk bawi rawi nateh, ahnimouh ni na ram thung e tanglakacuem a meikahawi naw pueng thokhai naseh, na khopui Susan vah Siangpahrang im hrawi awh naseh, siangpahrang im dawk napuinaw ka uk e tuenla Hegai koevah hrawi awh naseh, kamthoupnae kamtu awh naseh.
4 and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king reigns instead of Vashti”; and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he does so.
Tangla na ngai poung e hah na rawi han, Vashti e yueng lah siangpahrangnu lah na ta han, telah atipouh awh. Siangpahrang ni ahawi ati dawkvah hottelah a sak awh.
5 A man, a Jew, there has been in Shushan the palace, and his name [is] Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite—
Hatnavah, Susan khopui dawk Judah tami buet touh Zair capa Mordekai ao. Ahni teh Benjamin phun, Kish capa, Simei capa lah a tho.
6 who had been removed from Jerusalem with the expulsion that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed—
Ahni teh Babilon siangpahrang ni Judah siangpahrang Jekoniah tinaw a man navah, Jerusalem hoi mak man e doeh.
7 and he is supporting Hadassah—she [is] Esther—daughter of his uncle, for she has neither father nor mother, and the young woman [is] of beautiful form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother Mordecai has taken her to himself for a daughter.
Ahni ni a na pa kanaw e canu Hadassah tie Esta hah a kawk. Hote napui teh a manu hoi na pa tawn hoeh, hateiteh, a meihawi teh nuencang haiyah ahawipoung. A manu hoi a na pa a due hnukkhu, Mordekai ni a canu lah a tawn e lah ao.
8 And it comes to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered to Shushan the palace, to the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken to the house of the king, to the hand of Hegai, keeper of the women,
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang kâpoenae hoi laideitâtueng e hah a thai torei teh, Susan khopui dawk napuinaw ka uk e Hegai koe tanglanaw a poe awh navah, Esta haiyah siangpahrang im e napui ka uk e Hegai koe a poe awh.
9 and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receives kindness before him, and he hurries her purifications and her portions—to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided—to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changes her and her young women to a good [place in] the house of the women.
Esta teh Hegai e lung a youk dawkvah minhmai kahawi a hmu teh, Hegai ni kâpicainae tâsinaw hoi khohna hah karanglah a poe. Siangpahrang im dawk rawi e napui sari touh a poe vaiteh, Esta hoi a sannunaw teh tanglanaw onae khan hoe taluenae koe ao sak.
10 Esther has not declared her people, and her family, for Mordecai has laid a charge on her that she does not declare [it];
Esta ni api miphun maw, apimaw a imthungkhunaw ti hai dei hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mordekai ni dei hoeh hanlah a cakâ dawk vah.
11 and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is done with her.
Esta teh bangmaw ati, bangtelamaw ao tie panue hanlah a ngai dawkvah Mordekai ni hnintangkuem siangpahrang im vah napuinaw onae khan a hmalah e thongma dawk ouk a kâhlai.
12 And in the drawing near of the turn of each young woman to come in to King Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her—according to the law of the women—twelve months, for so they fulfill the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes, and with the purifications of women,
Siangpahrang yu hanlah pathoupnae tueng heh kum touh ouk a ro. Thapa yung taruk touh thung murah satui, alouke thapa yung taruk touh thung teh kâpikâcainae hmuitui hoi kâpi kâcainae lahoi atueng a loum sak awh.
13 and with this the young woman has come in to the king, all that she says is given to her to go in with her out of the house of the women to the house of the king;
Siangpahrang koevah cei hanlah tueng a pha torei teh tangla ni a ngai e pueng hah a hei teh napuinaw e im dawk hoi siangpahrang im vah ouk a sin awh.
14 in the evening she has gone in, and in the morning she has turned back to the second house of the women, to the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she does not come in anymore to the king except the king has delighted in her, and she has been called by name.
Tangmin lah siangpahrang koe a hrawi awh teh amom toteh tuenlanaw, a donaw, siangpahrang e a donaw onae khan, tuenla Shâshagaz ni a ring e napui onae khan apâhni e im dawk a ta awh. Siangpahrang ni a ngai teh a min lahoi kaw hoehpawiteh bout cet awh hoeh toe.
15 And in the drawing near of the turn of Esther—daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to himself for a daughter—to come in to the king, she has not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, says, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing her.
Ama e canu patetlah Mordekai ni a kawk e a na pa kanaw Abihail canu Esta tueng a pha teh siangpahrang koe a kâen navah, napuinaw karingkung siangpahrang hanlah tuenla, Hegai ni a sak pouh e hno hloilah banghai het hoeh. Esta heh kahmawt naw pueng ni a lungpataw awh.
16 And Esther is taken to King Ahasuerus, to his royal house, in the tenth month—it [is] the month of Tebeth—in the seventh year of his reign,
Siangpahrang Ahasuerus a bawinae a kum sari nah, thapa yung hra Tebet thapa dawk Esta teh siangpahrang koevah a hrawi awh.
17 and the king loves Esther above all the women, and she receives grace and kindness before him above all the virgins, and he sets a royal crown on her head, and causes her to reign instead of Vashti,
Siangpahrang ni Esta teh tangla alouknaw pueng hlakvah hoe a ngai teh a ngai poung dawkvah bawilukhung hah a kâmuk sak teh Vashti yueng lah siangpahrangnu lah a tawm.
18 and the king makes a great banquet to all his heads and his servants—the banquet of Esther—and has made a release to the provinces, and gives gifts as a memorial of the king.
Hatnavah, siangpahrang ni Esta min lahoi, tami kalennaw hoi a taminaw hanlah pawi a to pouh. Hote hnin nah, ram pueng dawk kâhatnae hnin lah a pathang, a thaw katawknaw a patoun teh a bawi e patetlah poehno a poe sak.
19 And in the virgins being gathered a second time, then Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king;
Tanglakacuemnaw apâhni lah bout a kamkhueng awh navah, Mordekai teh siangpahrang im dawk takhang ka ring naw ukkung lah ao.
20 Esther is not declaring her family and her people, as Mordecai has laid a charge on her, and the saying of Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him.
Esta teh Mordekai ni a kawknae tueng nah lawk a ngai e patetlah lawk pou a ngai pouh teh Mordekai ni a dei e patetlah a miphun hoi a imthungkhunaw e kong dei laipalah ao.
21 In those days, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king, has Bigthan been angry, and Teresh (two of the eunuchs of the king, the keepers of the threshold), and they seek to put forth a hand on King Ahasuerus,
Mordekai teh siangpahrang im vah takhang karingkungnaw ukkung lah ao navah, siangpahrang hanlah tuenla, tami kahni touh Bigthan hoi Teresh takhang ka ring roi e a lungkhuek roi teh siangpahrang Ahasuerus hah thei hanlah a kâcai roi.
22 and the thing is known to Mordecai, and he declares [it] to Esther the queen, and Esther speaks to the king in the name of Mordecai,
Hote hno hah Mordekai ni a panue teh siangpahrangnu Esta koevah a dei pouh. Hahoi, Esta ni Mordekai ni a dei e patetlah siangpahrang koe a dei pouh.
23 and the thing is sought out, and found, and both of them are hanged on a tree, and it is written in the scroll of the Chronicles before the king.
Hote hno akungkhei awh navah atang tie a panue awh dawkvah, hote tami kahni touh roi hah thingsoi vah a kaithi sak awh. Hote hno hah siangpahrang hnosaknae cungpam cauk dawk a thut awh.
