< Esther 5 >

1 And it comes to pass on the third day, that Esther puts on royalty, and stands in the inner-court of the house of the king in front of the house of the king, and the king is sitting on his royal throne, in the royal-house, opposite the opening of the house,
Ni thumto naah, Esther loe siangpahrang zu khukbuen hoiah amthoep moe, siangpahrang imthung longhma, siangpahrang hmaa ah angdoet; to naah siangpahrang loe angmah ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnut, imthung akunhaih thok bangah anghae.
2 and it comes to pass, at the king’s seeing Esther the queen standing in the court, she has received grace in his eyes, and the king holds out to Esther the golden scepter that [is] in his hand, and Esther draws near, and touches the top of the scepter.
Siangpahrang mah a im longhmaa ah angdoe a zu Esther to hnuk naah, mikhmai pan moe, a ban ih sui cunghet to kalah bangah paqoi ving; Esther loe anih taengah anghnaih moe, sui cunghet tadong to sui pae.
3 And the king says to her, “What do you [want], Esther, O queen? And what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is given to you.”
Siangpahrang mah, siangpahrang zu Esther, Timaw hnik han na koeh? Ka prae ahap mataeng doeh kang paek han, tiah a naa.
4 And Esther says, “If to the king [it be] good, the king comes in, and Haman, today, to the banquet that I have made for him”;
To pongah Esther mah, Siangpahrang koehhaih baktiah ka oh nahaeloe, vaihniah nang han ka sak ih poihkung ah Haman hoi nawnto angzo ah, tiah a naa.
5 and the king says, “Hurry Haman—to do the word of Esther”; and the king comes in, and Haman, to the banquet that Esther has made.
Esther mah hnik ih baktih toengah sak hanah, Siangpahrang mah Haman to karangah kawk hanah lok a paek. To pongah siangpahrang hoi Haman loe Esther mah sak ih buhraenghaih poihkung ah caeh hoi.
6 And the king says to Esther, during the banquet of wine, “What [is] your petition? And it is given to you; and what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is done.”
Misurtui naek o nathuem ah, siangpahrang mah Esther to lokdueng let, Tih tahmenhaih maw nang hnik? Kang paek han; timaw nang hnik? Ka prae ahap mataeng doeh kang paek han, tiah a naa.
7 And Esther answers and says, “My petition and my request [is]:
Esther mah, Tahmen kang hnik ih hmuen loe hae tiah oh;
8 if I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if to the king [it be] good, to give my petition, and to perform my request, the king comes, and Haman, to the banquet that I make for them, and tomorrow I do according to the word of the king.”
siangpahrang mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh moe, tahmen kang hnikhaih hoi kang hnik ih hmuen siangpahrang mah akoepsak hanah na koeh nahaeloe, khawnbang ka sak han ih buhraenghaih poihkung ah Haman hoi nawnto nang zoh ah; to naah ni siangpahrang mah dueng ih lok to ka thuih han vop, tiah a naa.
9 And Haman goes forth on that day rejoicing and glad in heart, and at Haman’s seeing Mordecai in the gate of the king, and he has not risen nor moved for him, then is Haman full of fury against Mordecai.
To pacoengah Haman loe anghoehaih hoi poeknawmhaih hoiah caeh; toe siangpahrang ih khongkha ah, anih azat paek hanah angdoe ai, anih khingyahaih tawn ai Mordekai to a hnuk naah, Mordekai nuiah paroeai palungphui.
10 And Haman forces himself, and comes into his house, and sends, and brings in his friends, and his wife Zeresh,
Toe Haman loe angsum moe, imthung ah caeh; angmah ih ampuinawk hoi a zu Zeresh to a kawk.
11 and Haman recounts to them the glory of his wealth, and the abundance of his sons, and all that with which the king made him great, and with which he lifted him up above the heads and servants of the king.
Nihcae khaeah a tawnh ih hmuenmae kawng, kapop parai a caanawk kawng, siangpahrang mah kalah siangpahrang ih angraengnawk hoi anih ih tamnanawk pongah, anih hanah kasang araengh paekhaih kawngnawk to a thuih.
12 And Haman says, “Indeed, Esther the queen brought none in with the king, to the feast that she made, except myself, and also for tomorrow I am called to her, with the king,
To pacoengah Haman mah, Ue, siangpahrang zu Esther mah buhraenghaih sak ih poihkung ah siangpahrang hoi kai khue ni ang pacae; khawnbang doeh siangpahrang hoi nawnto caeh hanah ang pacae bae vop.
13 and all this is not profitable to me, during all the time that I am seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting in the gate of the king.”
Toe siangpahrang ih khongkha toep, Judah kami Mordekai ka hnuk naah poek ka nawm thai ai, tiah a naa.
14 And his wife Zeresh says to him, and all his friends, “Let them prepare a tree, in height fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, and they hang Mordecai on it, and go in with the king to the banquet rejoicing”; and the thing is good before Haman, and he prepares the tree.
A zu Zeresh hoi ampuinawk boih mah anih khaeah, Dong quipangato kasang tung to sah ah loe, to tung pongah Mordekai to bangh hanah, khawnbangah siangpahrang to dueng ah; to pacoengah siangpahrang hoi nawnto poihkung ah caeh ah loe nawm hoi ah, tiah a naa o. To tiah thuih ih lok mah Haman to poeknawmsak moe, tung to a saksak.
