< Esther 8 >

1 On that day, did King Ahasuerus give unto Esther the queen, the house of Haman, the adversary of the Jews, —and, Mordecai, came in before the king, for Esther had told, what he was to her.
Hicheni mama chun Xerxes lengpan Judate galmi Haman thil leh lo ho jouse chu lengnu Esther apedoh tai. Hichejou chun Esther in Mordecai chu insungmi ahi lengpa kom’ah aseidoh tan ahileh Mordecai chu lengpa kom’a ahin puilut taovin ahi.
2 And the king took off his signet-ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai, —and Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Lengpan Haman’a konna ana nung lahdoh asoi namna khutjem chu aladoh in Mordecai chu apetai. Hiti chun Esther chun Mordecai chu Haman thil le lo chunga vaihom in ana pansah tan ahi.
3 Yet again, spake Esther before the king, and fell down at his feet, —and wept and made supplication unto him, to cause the mischief of Haman the Agagite to pass away, even the plot which he had plotted against the Jews.
Hijou chun Esther chu lengpa kom’a ache kit'in akeng khopi muh a abohkhup in Agag mi Haman in Judate te douna thil giloutah ana gon chu suh-tangna dingin mitlhi pumin anataovin ahi.
4 And the king held out unto Esther, the golden sceptre, —so Esther arose, and stood before the king;
Avellin lengpan Esther dingin asana tengol chu ahin lhungdoh in hiti chun ama athoudoh in a-angsung’ah adingtai.
5 and said—If, unto the king, it seem good, and if I have found favour before him, and the thing be approved before the king, and, I myself, be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written, to reverse the letters plotted by Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy thee Jews, who are in all the provinces of the king.
Esther in ajah a, “Lengpa nalunglhai dinga chuleh khotona kamu theiding ahija chujongle nalung lhaina kachanthei dinga ahile Agag mipa Haman thupeh hohi suhbei na dingin dan khat semdoh le chun kati, ajehchu aman lengpa gambih jousea cheng Judate ho jouse suh gamna dinga thupeh ananei ahi,” ati.
6 For how can I endure to see the ruin that shall overtake my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Ajehchu kamipite le kainsung mite akitha gamma akisuhmang ding ken iti kathoh dingham?”
7 Then said King Ahasuerus unto Esther the queen, and unto Mordecai the Jew, —Lo! the house of Haman, have I given unto Esther, and, him, have they hanged upon the gallows, because he thrust forth his hand against the Jews.
Hichun Xerxes lengpan lengnu Esther le Judate mi Mordecai kom’ah, “Keima Haman thilkeo jouse Esther kape tan chuleh aman Judate te suhmang ding agot jeh in thinglhon chunga amajoh akikhailih tan,
8 Ye, therefore, write concerning the Jews as may seem good in your own eyes, in the name of the king, and seal it with the kings signet-ring, —for a writing which hath been written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s signet-ring, none can reverse.
Tun lengpa min’in Judate techu nadei dandan’in thuthot tan chuleh lengpa khutjem chun mohor namkhum tan. Chule lengpa minna khatvei mohor kinamsa chu kinung lahdoh kit theitalou ding ahi, ti melchih lhon in, atipeh tai.
9 Then were called the king’s scribes at that time—in the third month, the same, is the month Siwan, on the twenty-third thereof, and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and unto the satraps and pashas and rulers of the provinces, which are from India even unto Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, every province according to the writing thereof, and every people according to their tongue, —and unto the Jews, according to their writing, and according to their tongue;
Hiti chun lhathum lhinna, Sivan lha, nisom ni le nithum nichun, Mordecai in lengpa lekha jeh a pangho chu akikou khomin chuleh Mordecai jin jih in ati dungjui chun ajih taovin ahi. Hiche chu Judate ho komlah vaihom ho jouse kom, gamvaipo ho kom, gambih jakhat le somni le sagi, India a patna Ehopia changeijin milen milal ho jouse kom’ah akithot dohtan ahi. Hiche dan chu lenggam sunga mipite Judate op um'in ama ama paole ama lekhajem cheh in akisunin ahi.
10 and he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s signet-ring, —and sent letters by the hand of runners on horses, riding the swift steeds used in the kings service, bred of the stud:
Hiche dan chu Xerxes lengpa minna kisun ahin, akhut jemma mohor kinamkhum ah ahi. Mordecai in hiche thuhi gangtah a homdoh dingin lengpa kin’a kimang sakol lhaihat cheh chu asoldoh in ahi.
11 That the king had granted unto the Jews who were in every city, to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perish—all the force of the people and province who should distress them, their little ones and women, —and [to take] the spoil of them as a prey:
Hiche leng thupeh hin khopi tinna um Judate hochu kipun khomna kihuhdohna anei thei diu ahi. Koi nammi hihenlang hoilai gambih a konna hijohgleh aji achateo leh amaho hindel buluho jouse chu athaova, asuhmang diu chuleh asuhgamhel theidiu chuleh agalmi hou thilkeo akichom theidiu ahi.
12 upon one day, throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, —upon the thirteenth of the twelfth month, the same, is the month Adar:
Xerxes lenggam jousea hitobang tohna dinga nikho kilhengdoh chu Lhakao nisagi ni kumkit hiding ahi.
13 A copy of the writing to be given, as an edict, throughout every province, was published to all the peoples, —and that the Jews be ready against that day, to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Hiche dan kisodoh hi gambih jousea juiding dan hiding mipiah jousea phondoh ding, hitia chu Judate ten hiche nikho ahi agalmihou chunga phu alah thei nadiu ahi.
14 The runners that rode on the swift steeds used in the king’s service, went forth, being urged forward and pressed on, by the word of the king, —and, the edict, was given in Shusan the palace.
Hichehin leng thupeh chun akinotah ahijeh'in, thuhomjal leho chun lengpa kin’a manchah dinga kikoi Sakol hatcheh aman uva gangtah a ahopdoh diu ahi. Hiche dan Susa khopi sunga jong akiphong doh tan ahi.
15 And, Mordecai, went forth from the presence of the king, in royal apparel, of blue and white, with a large diadem of gold, and a mantle of fine linen and purple, —and, the city Shusan, was bright and joyful.
Hiche jouchun Mordecai chun lengpon oupe aduple akang akisil’in, sana lallukhuh akikhuh in, tupat ponnem le pondup akisil’in lengpa a kon in ahung potdoh'in ahileh khopi sunga mipi chu akipah in othong je-jun asam sam jengun ahi.
16 To the Jews, had come light, and joy, —and gladness and honour.
Judate techu kipanale thanopnan adimun chene chan uva miho jana aching un ahi.
17 And, in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the word of the king and his edict did reach, joy and gladness, had the Jews, —a banquet and a happy day, —and, many from among the peoples of the land, were becoming Jews, for the dread of the Jews had fallen upon them.
Gambih tinle khopia, lengpa dan lhunna channah Judate te akipah un alopna aneiyun anikho nitdingleh mipin golvah neikhom dingin aphongdoh un ahi. Gamsunga mipi lah achun Judate chu ahung pungjal jengun ahi ajeh chu Judate hochun eibolse get unte tia akichat’u ahitai.
