Esther 1
1 And it comes to pass, in the days of Ahasuerus—he [is] Ahasuerus who is reigning from Hodu even to Cush, one hundred twenty-seven provinces—
India hoi Ethiopia totouh a ram 127 touh ka uk e Ahasuerus siangpahrang ni,
2 in those days, at the sitting of King Ahasuerus on the throne of his kingdom, that [is] in Shushan the palace,
Shushan khopui vah bawitungkhung dawk a tahungnae a kum thum nah,
3 in the third year of his reign, he has made a banquet to all his heads and his servants; of the force of Persia and Media, the chiefs and heads of the provinces [are] before him,
Persia hoi Media ram e kâ ka tawn naw, ram ka ukkungnaw hoi kahrawikungnaw a kaw teh, a bawinaw hoi a sannaw hanlah pawi a to pouh.
4 in his showing the wealth of the glory of his kingdom, and the glory of the beauty of his greatness, many days—one hundred eighty days.
Hatnavah, a uknaeram tawntanae hoi a taluenae hah hnin 180 touh thung vah a pâtue.
5 And at the fullness of these days the king has made a banquet to all the people who are found in Shushan the palace, from great even to small, [for] seven days, in the court of the garden of the house of the king—
Hote ahnintha abaw toteh siangpahrang ni Shushan khopui dawk ka kamkhueng e tami kathoung kalen pueng hanlah siangpahrang takha um vah hnin sari touh thung pawi a to pouh.
6 white linen, white cotton, and blue, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple on rings of silver, and pillars of marble, couches of gold, and of silver, on a pavement of smaragdus, and white marble, and mother-of-pearl, and black marble—
Ngunlaikawnaw bang e talung pangaw khomnaw dawkvah, lukkarei rui hoi, thung e, kapangaw, kahring, kaopaou, naw hoi thoseh, phai e lungphen ka paling, kaopaou, kapangaw, katamangnaw e van ta e sui ngun tahung tabennae naw hoi takha teh a pathoup.
7 and the giving of drink in vessels of gold, and the vessels [are] various vessels, and the royal wine [is] abundant, as a memorial of the king.
Siangpahrang a tawnta e patetlah misur teh suimanang dawk hoi a nei awh.
8 And the drinking [is] according to law, none is pressing, for so the king has appointed for every chief one of his house, to do according to the pleasure of man and man.
Misur teh a nuencangcalah a nei awh teh apihai ngawt ka parui lah net awh hoeh. Tami pueng ni amamouh ngainae patetlah a sak nahanlah siangpahrang ni a im e kahrawikungnaw pueng koe a dei pouh.
9 Also Vashti the queen has made a banquet for women, in the royal house that King Ahasuerus has.
Hahoi, siangpahrangnu Vashti ni hai Ahasuerus siangpahrang im vah napuinaw hanlah pawi a to pouh van.
10 On the seventh day, as the heart of the king is glad with wine, he has commanded to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who are ministering in the presence of King Ahasuerus,
A hnin sari hnin nah siangpahrang e a lungthin teh misur ni a nawm sak toteh, tuenla e sari touh, siangpahrang Ahasuerus hmalah thaw ouk ka tawk naw; Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar hoi Karkas tinaw hah,
11 to bring in Vashti the queen before the king, with a royal crown, to show the peoples and the heads her beauty, for she [is] of good appearance,
Siangpahrang ni Vashti teh a bawilukhung kâmuk hoi, tami puenghoi tami kalen naw koe a meihawinae patue hanlah siangpahrang hmalah thokhai hanelah kâ a poe.
12 and the queen Vashti refuses to come in at the word of the king that [is] by the hand of the eunuchs, and the king is very angry, and his fury has burned in him.
Hateiteh, siangpahrangnu Vashti teh tuenlanaw niyah tho hanlah siangpahrang ni kâpoe e lawk a dei pouh awh navah ngai hoeh. Hatdawkvah siangpahrang teh a lung puenghoi a khuek. A lungkhueknae hah hmaisaan patetlah a kaman.
13 And the king says to wise men, knowing the times—for so [is] the word of the king before all knowing law and judgment,
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni hno kaawm e ka thai panuek e tami lungkaangnaw koe, bangkongtetpawiteh, kâlawk hoi lannae kong ka panuek e naw pueng hah siangpahrang ni pouknae ouk a pacei.
14 and he who is near to him [is] Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memucan, seven heads of Persia and Media seeing the face of the king, who are sitting first in the kingdom—
A kut rahim thaw katawknaw teh; Karshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memukan, Persia hoi Media ram tami kalen sari, siangpahrang pou kâhmo thainae kâ katawnnaw thungvah hmuenrasang poung koe ka tahung e bawinaw lah ao.
15 “According to law, what should [I] do with Queen Vashti, because that she has not done the saying of King Ahasuerus by the hand of the eunuchs?”
Tuenlanaw ni patuen a thaisak awh ei, kai siangpahrang Ahasuerus e kâpoe e hah siangpahrangnu Vashti ni a ngâi hoeh dawkvah, aphung patetlah ahni hah bangtelamaw lawkceng han, telah a pacei navah,
16 And Memucan says before the king and the heads, “Queen Vashti has not done perversely against the king by himself, but against all the heads, and against all the peoples that [are] in all provinces of King Ahasuerus;
Memukan ni siangpahrang hoi tami kalen naw hmalah, Siangpahrangnu Vashti ni siangpahrang koe dueng yonnae sak hoeh, bawinaw hoi siangpahrang ni a uk e ramnaw pueng koehai a sak e lah ao.
17 for the word of the queen goes forth to all the women, to render their husbands contemptible in their eyes, in their saying, King Ahasuerus commanded to bring in Vashti the queen before him, and she did not come;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang Ahasuerus ni siangpahrangnu Vashti a kaw navah, tho pouh hoeh tie peng a kamthang dawkvah, siangpahrangnu e nuencang hah napuinaw pueng ni thai awh vaiteh a vanaw hah a hnephnap awh han.
18 indeed, this day princesses of Persia and Media, who have heard the word of the queen, say [so] to all heads of the king, even according to the sufficiency of contempt and wrath.
Siangpahrangnu ni a sak e Persia hoi Media bawinunaw ni a thai awh toteh, a kut rahim thaw ka tawk e bawinaw puenghai, hottelah bout dei awh vaiteh, minhmai khethoehnae hoi lungkhueknae hoeh a pung sak awh han.
19 If to the king [it be] good, there goes forth a royal word from before him, and it is written with the laws of Persia and Media, and does not pass away, that Vashti does not come in before King Ahasuerus, and the king gives her royalty to her companion who [is] better than she;
Vashti hah siangpahrang Ahasuerus koevah bout kâen sak hoeh nahanlah ngainae awm pawiteh kâen hoeh nahanlah kâ pouh. Kâthung hoeh e kâpoenae ao thai nahanlah Persia hoi Midiannaw koe thun sak. Hahoi, Vashti hlak kahawi e napui hah siangpahrangnu lah lat telah atipouh awh.
20 and the sentence of the king that he makes has been heard in all his kingdom—for it [is] great—and all the wives give honor to their husbands, from great even to small.”
Hottelah, na sak pawiteh siangpahrang ni kâpoe e hah na uknaeram pueng dawk pathang torei teh, napuinaw pueng ni a vanaw hah a bari awh han, telah a ti.
21 And the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and of the princes, and the king does according to the word of Memucan,
Hote lawk hah siangpahrang hoi a tami kalen naw ni a lung a kuep dawkvah siangpahrang ni Memukan ni a dei e patetlah a sak.
22 and sends letters to all provinces of the king, to province and province according to its writing, and to people and people according to its tongue, for every man being head in his own house—and speaking according to the language of his people.
Siangpahrang uknae hoi ram tangkuem dawkvah a ma ca lahoi, miphun pueng a ma lawk lahoi, tongpa ni ma imthungkhu tangkuem dawk kâtawn hanlah ao tie lawk hah a pathang.
