Esther 8
1 On that day, King Achashyerosh gave the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.
Amah te khohnin ah manghai Ahasuerus loh Judah, Judah aka daengdaeh Haman im te manghainu Esther taengla a paek. A taengkah te Esther loh a puen coeng dongah Mordekai khaw manghai mikhmuh la mop.
2 The king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Manghai loh Haman lamkah aka mael a kutcaeng te a dul tih Mordekai taengla a paek. Esther loh Mordekai te Haman im ah a khueh.
3 Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and begged him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his plot that he had devised against the Jews.
Te phoeiah Esther loh a rhaep tih manghai mikhmuh ah a thui pah. A kho kung ah yalh tih rhap. Te vaengah a taengah Agagite Haman kah boethae neh Judah rhoek a taeng thil a kopoek te paa sak ham a bih.
4 Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.
Te vaengah manghai loh Esther taengla sui mancai a doe. Te dongah Esther te thoo tih manghai mikhmuh ah pai.
5 She said, "If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.
Te phoeiah, “Manghai ham khaw then mai tih a mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang mai atah, manghai mikhmuh ah khaw ol te khui coeng. Kai khaw a mikhmuh ah then coeng. Agagite Hammedatha capa Haman kah kopoek cabu te yueh hamla daek mai saeh. Te te manghai paeng pum ah Judah rhoek milh sak ham ni a daek.
6 For how can I endure to see the disaster that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?"
Boethae loh ka pilnam a tlak thil ham te metlam ka ueh vetih ka sawt eh? Ka pacaboeina kah mitmoengnah ham te metlam ka ueh vetih ka sawt eh?” a ti nah.
7 Then King Achashyerosh said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, "See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.
Te vaengah manghai Ahasuerus loh manghainu Esther taeng neh Judah Mordekai taengah, “Haman im te Esther taengla ka paek coeng. Judah, Judah te a kut a hlah thil dongah amah khaw thing dongah ka kuiok sak coeng.
8 Write also to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may not be reversed by any man."
Nangmih loh Judah rhoek ham te na mik ah then na ti bangla manghai ming neh daek pah laeh. Te phoeiah ca te manghai kah kutcaeng neh hnah thil. Manghai ming neh a daek tih manghai kutcaeng neh a hnah thil tah a yueh ham voel moenih,” a ti nah.
9 Then the king's scribes were called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of the month; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and officials of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing, and in their language.
Te dongah te khohnin ah manghai kah cadaek rhoek khue uh thae. Te te a kum kul kum thum nah, hla thum dongkah Sivan hla ni. Te vaengah Mordekai ol uen boeih te Judah rhoek ham neh khoboei rhoek ham khaw, India lamloh Kusah hil paeng ya pakul parhih kah paeng rhalboei rhoek neh mangpa ham khaw, paeng khat ah amah paeng kah ca neh, pilnam khat taengah amah pilnam ol neh, Judah ham khaw amah ca, amah ol neh a daek pah.
10 He wrote in the name of King Achashyerosh, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by courier on horseback, riding on royal horses that were bread from swift steeds.
Manghai Ahasuerus ming neh a daek tih manghai kutcaeng a hnah thil. Te phoeiah cabu te marhangpa, boei leng dongah ngol tih tatloe kut lamloh marhang dongah a pat.
11 In those letters, the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to defend their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions,
Manghai loh Judah rhoek te khopuei, khopuei boeih ah tingtun ham neh amamih hinglu te pai puei ham, amih aka dum paeng neh pilnam tatthai boeih te tah mitmoeng sak ham, ngawn ham, milh sak ham, huta camoe neh a kutbuem te poelyoe pah ham a paek.
12 on one day in all the provinces of King Achashyerosh, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Te te hla hlai nit, Adar hla hnin hlai thum dongah tah manghai Ahasuerus kah paeng pum ah hnin at neh saii saeh a ti.
13 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Catlaep ca te paeng, paeng boeih ah olkhan la paek ham, pilnam cungkuem taengah a tai sak. Te daengah ni Judah, Judah rhoek khaw te khohnin ah a thunkha rhoek soah phuloh ham khohrhang neh a coekcoe la a om eh.
14 So the couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. The decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan.
Boei marhang dongah aka ngol tatloe rhoek loh tlek a thak uh. Te phoeiah manghai ol neh Shushan rhalmah im ah olkhan a paek te a khuen paitok.
15 Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.
Mordekai khaw manghai mikhmuh lamloh manghai pueinak, a thim, a bok, boeilen sui rhuisam, baibok hni neh, daidi neh cet. Te daengah ni Shushan khopuei khaw hlampan tih a kohoe.
16 The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor.
Judah ham khaw khosae neh kohoenah, omngaihnah neh umponah la a om pah.
17 In every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast, and a good day. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on them.
Paeng neh paeng tom ah khaw, khopuei neh khopuei tom ah khaw, manghai ol neh a olkhan loh a pha nah hmuen ah kohoenah neh omngaihnah om. Judah lakli ah khaw buhkoknah neh khohnin then a buluh. Khohmuen pilnam lamkah te a taengah Judah birhihnah loh a khuk dongah Judah khuila muep kun uh.
