< Esther 3 >

1 After these things King Achashyerosh promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the officials who were with him.
Hat hnukkhu, siangpahrang Ahasuerus ni Agag tami Hammedatha capa Haman hah thaw a luen sak teh alouke tami kalen naw pueng hlakvah ka rasang poung koe a tahung sak.
2 All the king's servants who were in the King's Gate bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down or pay him homage.
Hahoi, siangpahrang thongma longkha koe kaawm e a taminaw pueng ni Haman hah barinae a poe awh teh, a hmalah ouk a tabo pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang ni hot patetlah sak hanelah kâ a poe dawk doeh. Hateiteh, Mordekai ni a hmalah tabo hoi barinae hah poe ngai hoeh.
3 Then the king's servants, who were in the King's Gate, said to Mordecai, "Why do you disobey the king's commandment?"
Siangpahrang e sannaw hoi longkha thung kaawm e naw pueng ni Mordekai koevah, bangkongmaw siangpahrang e kâ na tapoe telah atipouh awh.
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
A hnintangkuem kâhruetcuetnae a poe awh ei, a ngâi pouh hoeh torei teh, Mordekai e lawk a cak hoi a cak hoeh e panue hanlah a ngai awh dawkvah Haman koe a dei pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mordekai ni Judah tami lah ao e yo a dei pouh toe.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
Mordekai ni a hmalah tabo hoi barinae poe hane a ngaihoehnae hah Haman ni a panue toteh, puenghoi a lungkhuek.
6 But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai's people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Achashyerosh, even Mordecai's people.
Hateiteh, Mordekai dueng thei hane teh ka lung bet hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Mordekai teh api miphun dawk hoi e maw ti a dei awh toe. Hatdawkvah, Ahasuerus uknaeram thung kaawm e Judah tami Mordekai e tami pueng koung thei hanlah a kâcai.
7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Achashyerosh, they cast Pur (that is, the lot) before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Siangpahrang Ahasuerus a bawinae kum 12, apasuek e thapa Nisan dawkvah, Haman hmalah ahnintha a touk, thapa 12 nah Adar thapa totouh Haman hmalah Purim tie cungpam ouk a rayu awh.
8 Haman said to King Achashyerosh, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people's. They do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them to remain.
Haman ni siangpahrang Ahasuerus koevah, Na ram thinghmuen tangkuem dawk miphun buet touh miphun alouke hoi kâvan hoeh e aloukcalah kaawm e ao. Ahnimae kâlawk teh alouknaw e kâlawk hoi khoeroe kâvan hoeh. Siangpahrang e kâlawk hai ngai awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, hottelah o sak e heh siangpahrang hanlah kamcu hoeh.
9 If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries."
Siangpahrang na hnâ bawt pawiteh, koung thei hanlah ao tie kâ poe loe, siangpahrang rawca tanae dawk ngun tangka thong hra, touh ka ta han telah, atipouh.
10 The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Siangpahrang ni hai hote tangka teh kai ni nang let na poe.
11 The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."
Hote miphunnaw koe sak han na ngai e patetlah sak thainae kâ na poe a titeh, a kuthrawt a rading teh, Judahnaw e taran Agag tami Hammedatha capa Haman koe a poe.
12 Then the king's scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the officials of every people, to every province according its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Achashyerosh, and it was sealed with the king's ring.
Hottelah, thapa yung touh, hnin 13 nah siangpahrang ni cakathutkungnaw a kaw teh, Haman ni kâ poe e patetlah siangpahrang e tami kacuenaw hoi, ram kaukkungnaw hoi, miphun pueng e kahrawikung koe ca koung a patawn. Ram pueng dawkvah amamae lawk hoi siangpahrang Ahasuerus e kâpoe e patetlah ca a thut awh teh, siangpahrang e kuthrawt hoi tacik a kin awh.
13 Letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
Siangpahrang uknaeram pueng dawk e Judahnaw pueng, nawsai, matawng, camo hoi napuinaw totouh, hnin touh hoi, thapa hlaikahni nah, Adar thapa hnin 13 nah raphoe, thei, tâkhawng vaiteh a hnopai teh koung la pouh hanlah ca a patawn.
14 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
Hote hnin hanlah coungkacoe o hanlah ca teh ram tangkuem e tami pueng koevah pathang hanlah ao.
15 The couriers went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
Siangpahrang ni kâ a poe hoi ca kareinaw hah karanglah a patoun awh. Kâpoe e teh siangpahrang khopui Susan vah a pathang awh. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang hoi Haman teh yamu nei hanlah a tahung roi, hatei, Susan khopui teh ngaihmang hoi ao awh.
