Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman went to eat the second banquet/feast that Queen Esther had prepared.
Hiti chun lengpa le Haman chu lengnu Esther golvahna ankong a dingin ache lhontai.
2 As they were drinking wine, the king asked again, “Esther, what do you want me to do [for you? Tell me, and] I will do it for you. Even if [you ask me for] half of my kingdom, I will give it to you.”
Anivei channa kin ahin ankong aum uva ju adonpet uhin lengpan lengnu Esther koma asei kittai, “Lengnu Esther ipi nadei ham neiseipeh tan, ipiham nathum nom chu? Kalenggam akehkhat hijongleh kapeh ding nahi!” ati.
3 Esther replied, “O king, if you are pleased with me, and if you are willing to do [what I ask], save me, and save my people. That is what I want you to do for me.
Lengnu Esther in adonbut nin, “Lengpa na mikhoto nahi kachanna chuleh lengpan kathil thum hi neipeh inghy nalung lhaina ahileh, kei hinkho leh kamite hinkhohi hoidoh teijin.
4 [It is as though] I and my people [are cattle that] have been sold to be slaughtered. [It is as though] we have been sold to people who want to completely destroy us. If we had only been sold to people to become their male and female slaves, I would not say anything, because that would have been a matter too small to bother you, the king.”
Ajehchu kamite le keima hi eithatgo ho kom’a suhmang dingleh thagam dingin eikijohdoh taove. Keihohi sohding maimaija eikijoh doh uva hileh thipbeh a kaumdiu ahi, ajehchu hiti themma chu lengpa kasuhboi nomlou ahi.” Ati
5 Then King Xerxes asked her, “Who would want to do such a [terrible] thing? Where is he?”
“Koipen ham hitobang bolla chu? Nangma tongkhaleu va hitobang bolla chu koi ham?” tin Leng Xerxes in adongtai.
6 Esther replied, “[The man who is] our enemy is this evil man Haman!” Then Haman was terrified as he stood in front of the king and queen.
Esther in adonbut in, “Hiche miphaloupa Haman eidouvu le kagalmi paohi hijahime!” Haman chun lengpa le lengnu kom’a chun amai adangleo jengtan ahi.
7 The king became extremely angry. He immediately left his wine and got up and went outside into the palace garden [to decide what to do]. But Haman stayed, in order to plead with Queen Esther that she would spare his life.
Hiche jouchun lengpa chu lunghang tah in adingdoh in khopi honlei langa chun apotdoh tan ahi. Haman vangchu lengnu Esther in ahinkho ahuhdohna dinga tao dingin aumden tan ahi, ajehchu lengpan amachu ahinghoi louding akihet ahitai.
8 He threw himself down on the couch where Esther was reclining. But at that moment the king returned from the garden to the room where they had been eating. [He saw Haman, and assumed he was preparing to rape Esther]. He exclaimed, “Are you going to rape the queen while she is here with me in my own palace?” As soon as the king said that, some officials covered Haman’s head, [as they did to people who were about to be hanged].
Alungkham man’in lengnu lupna chunga chun abohkhup jengtan ahileh lengpa khopi honlei langa konna ahung kilekit langtoh akitoh khan ahi. Lengpan asamjah jengin, “Amahin kamaikoh tah jenga jong lengnu hi hitia hi adelkhum jeng ding hitam? Lengpa agah paodoh jouchun alhacha hon Haman chu amanthah nading vetsahnan amai pon in akhu taove.
9 Then Harbona, one of the king’s personal officials, said, “[Outside, ] near Haman’s house, there is a (gallows/set of poles for hanging someone). It is 75 feet high. Haman made it for Mordecai, the man who spared your life!” The king said, “Hang him on it!”
Hiche jou chu lengpa dinga nukiso khat Harbona atiuchun ahin seijin, “Haman hin thinglhon amuh hemkhat feet sam sagi le nga a sao aleitolla akoije ati. Hiche chu aman lengpa min athana dinga ana huhdohpa Mordecai chu thana dinga anagon chu ahi. “Hichu ahileh hichea chun Haman chu khailih taovin,” tin lengpan thupeh aneitai.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for hanging Mordecai! And then (the king’s anger cooled off/the king was no longer so angry).
Hiti chun Haman in Mordecai khailih na dinga anasem thinglhon achun amajoh achu akhailih taove.
