Esther 2
1 After these things, when the wrath of King Achashyerosh was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against 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 Then the king's servants who served him said, "Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.
Siangpahrang pouknae kapoekungnaw ni ahni koevah, “Siangpahrang hanlah tanglakacuem a meikahawi tawng awh sei,
3 Let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the beautiful young virgins to the citadel of Shushan, to the women's house, to the custody of Hegai the king's eunuch, keeper of the women. Let cosmetics be given them;
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 let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." The thing pleased the king, and he did 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 There was a certain Jew in the citadel of Shushan, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the 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 carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
Ahni teh Babilon siangpahrang ni Judah siangpahrang Jekoniah tinaw a man navah, Jerusalem hoi mak man e doeh.
7 He brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own 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 So it happened, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Shushan, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody 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 The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king's house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women's house.
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 had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.
Esta ni api miphun maw, apimaw a imthungkhunaw ti hai dei hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mordekai ni dei hoeh hanlah a cakâ dawk vah.
11 Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women's house, to find out how Esther did, and what would become of 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 Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Achashyerosh after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying 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 The young woman then came to the king like this: whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the women's house to the king's house.
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 went, and on the next day she returned into the second women's house, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch, who kept the secondary wives. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was 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 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at 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 So Esther was taken to King Achashyerosh into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month 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 The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen 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 Then the king made a great feast for all his officials and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces, and gave gifts according to the king's bounty.
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 When the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mordecai was sitting in the King's Gate.
Tanglakacuemnaw apâhni lah bout a kamkhueng awh navah, Mordekai teh siangpahrang im dawk takhang ka ring naw ukkung lah ao.
20 Esther had not yet made known her relatives nor her people, as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther obeyed Mordecai, like she did when she was brought up by 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, while Mordecai was sitting in the King's Gate, two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Achashyerosh.
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 This thing became known to Mordecai, who informed Esther the queen; and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.
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 When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king's presence.
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.
