Esther 9
1 The first law that the king had commanded was to be made effective on March 7th. On that day the enemies of the Jews hoped to get rid of them. But instead, on that same day the Jews defeated their enemies.
Hatdawkvah, ahlaikahni e thapa Adar, hnin 13 hnin, siangpahrang ni kâpoe e patetlah a sak awh nahane hnin teh a hnai toe. Hote hnin nah, Judahnaw e tarannaw ni kaimouh ni ka tâ awh han telah a ngaihawi awh. Hatei, Judahnaw ni ahnimouh letlang tânae hnin lah ao.
2 Throughout the empire, the Jews gathered together in their cities to attack those who wanted to get rid of them. No one could fight against the Jews, because all the other people in the areas where the Jews lived were afraid of them, [so they did not want to help anyone who attacked the Jews].
Siangpahrang Ahasuerus e ram pueng dawk kaawm e Judahnaw ni ahnimouh koe thoenae katawngnaw koe moipathung hanlah a onae khopueng dawkvah a kamkhueng awh teh apinihai ngang thai awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh taminaw pueng koe takinae a pha.
3 All the governors and [other] officials and important people in all the provinces helped the Jews, because they were afraid of Mordecai.
Hote ram thung vah bari kaawm e taminaw hoi kahrawikungnaw hoi ram ka ukkungnaw hoi siangpahrang e thaw katawknaw ni Mordekai hah a taki awh dawkvah Judahnaw hah a kabawp awh.
4 They were afraid of him because in all the provinces [they knew that] Mordecai was now the king’s most important official, [with the authority that Haman previously had]. Mordecai was becoming more famous because [the king was giving him] more and more power.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mordekai teh siangpahrang im dawkvah takhang karingkungnaw kaukkung lah ao, ram pueng dawkvah a min a kamthang teh hnin touh hnukkhu hnin touh a min hoehoe a kamthang.
5 [On March 7th, ] the Jews attacked and killed with their swords all of their enemies. They did whatever they wanted to do, to the people who hated them.
Hote hnin nah, Judahnaw ni a tarannaw pueng hah tahloi hoi koung a thei awh. Ahnimouh kahmawt ngai hoehnaw koevah a ngai e patetlah a sak awh.
6 [Just] in Susa alone, the capital city, they killed 500 people.
Shushan khopui dawk tami 500touh a thei awh.
7 Among those whom they killed were the ten sons of Haman. [Their names were] Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Hamedatha, Judahnaw katarankung Haman canaw hra touh,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha.
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Pamashta, Arisai,
10 Those were grandsons of Hammedatha and sons of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. The Jews killed them, but they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
Aridai, Vaizatha hah a thei awh. Hateiteh, a hnopai teh lat pouh awh hoeh.
11 [At the end of] that day someone reported to the king the number of people whom the Jews killed in Susa.
Hat hnin vah shushan kho dawk kadout e cayin hah siangpahrang koe a thaisak awh.
12 Then the king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed 500 people here in Susa, including the ten sons of Haman! [So I think that] they must have killed many more people in the rest of my empire [RHQ]! [But okay], now what else do you want me to do for you. You tell me, and I will do it.”
Siangpahrang ni siangpahrangnu Esta hah a kaw teh, Judahnaw ni Shushan khopui dawk Haman canaw hra touh hoi tami 500touh a thei awh. Alouke ramnaw dawk teh bangtelamaw a sak awh han. Nang ni teh bangtelamaw na ngai. Na ngai e patetlah na sak pouh han. Bangmaw hei han na ngai rah. Na hei e pueng na poe han atipouh.
13 Esther replied, “If it pleases you, allow the Jews here in Susa to do again tomorrow what [you] commanded [them] to do today. And command that the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows/poles.”
Esta ni siangpahrang na ngainae lah tho pawiteh, Shushan khopui kaawm Judahnaw ni sahnin kâpoe e patetlah tangtho haiyah sak naseh. Haman canaw teh pathout awh naseh, telah atipouh.
14 So the king commanded that the Jews be permitted to kill more of their enemies the next day. After he issued [another] order in Susa, the bodies of Haman’s ten sons were hanged.
Hahoi, siangpahrang ni hot patetlah sak hanlah kâ bout a poe dawkvah Shushan khopui dawk kâpoe e hah a pathang awh teh Haman capanaw hra touh hah a pathout awh.
15 On the next day, the Jews in Susa gathered together and killed 300 more people. But [again, ] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
Shushan kaawm e Judahnaw ni Adar thapa, hnin 14nah haiyah bout a kamkhueng awh teh, Shushan khopui dawk tami 300touh a thei awh. Hateiteh, a hnopai teh lat pouh awh hoeh.
16 That happened on March 8th. On the following day, the Jews [in Susa] rested and celebrated. In all the other provinces, the Jewish people gathered together to defend themselves, and they killed 75,000 people who hated them, but [again] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
Siangpahrang uknae alouklah kaawm e Judahnaw hai a kamkhueng awh teh taran kut dawk hoi lungmawng nahanlah amamouh hoi amamouh a kâring awh. A tarannaw 75000touh a thei awh. Hateiteh, a hnopai lat pouh awh hoeh.
17 That occurred on March 7th, and on the following day they rested and celebrated.
Adar thapa hnin 13nah hote hno a sak awh. Hahoi, hnin 14nah a kâhat awh teh pawitonae hnin hoi lunghawinae hnin lah a hno awh.
18 After the Jews in Susa gathered together [and killed their enemies] on March 7th and 8th, they rested and celebrated on March 9th.
Hateiteh, Shushan kaawm e Judahnaw teh hnin 13 hoi 14 nah a kamkhueng awh teh hnin 15 nah a kâhat awh teh pawitonae hoi lunghawinae hnin lah a hno awh.
19 That is why [every year], on March 8th, the Jews who live in villages now celebrate [defeating their enemies]. They have feasts and give gifts [of food] to each other.
Hatdawkvah, rapan ka tawn hoeh e kho dawk kaawm e Judahnaw nihaiyah Adar thapa hnin 14nah lunghawi laihoi pawitonae hnin, yawhawinae hnin buet touh hoi buet touh hno ouk kâpoenae hnin lah, ka sungren poung lah a hno awh.
20 Mordecai wrote down all the things that had happened. Then he sent letters to the Jews who lived throughout the empire of King Xerxes.
Mordekai ni hote kongnaw pueng a thut teh siangpahrang Ahasuerus uknaeram dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koevah a patawn.
21 He told them that every year they should celebrate on the 8th and 9th of March,
Adar thapa hnin 14 hoi 15 hnin heh a kum tangkuem ahnimouh hanlah, ka lentoe e hnin lah caksak hanlah a pathang awh.
22 because those were the days when the Jews got rid of their enemies. He also told them that they should celebrate on those days by feasting and giving gifts [of food] to each other and to poor people. They would remember it as the month in which they changed from being very sorrowful to being very joyful, from crying to celebrating.
Hote hnin dawk Judahnaw ni a taran kut dawk hoi a hlout teh lungmawngnae hnin, a lungmathoenae hoi a kanae, a kahma teh lunghawinae hoi nawmnaenae koe a phanae hnin lah ao dawkvah, a kum tangkuem hote hnin nah a kâhat awh teh pawitonae hnin, lunghawinae hnin, buet touh hoi buet touh hno a kâpoe awh teh, karoedengnaw hah hno poenae hnin lah kaawm e singyoe hah sak hanlah, siangpahrang Ahasuerus ram pueng dawk kahnai kahlat kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koe ca hah a patawn.
23 So the Jews agreed to do what Mordecai wrote. They agreed to celebrate on those days [every year].
Judahnaw ni hai nueng a sak e Mordekai a dei e patetlah pou sak a hanlah a lungkuep awh.
24 They would remember how Haman, son of Hammedatha, a descendant of [King] Agag, became an enemy of all the Jews. [They would remember] how he had made an evil plan to kill the Jews, and that he had (cast lots/thrown small marked stones) to choose the day to kill [DOU] them.
Judahnaw pueng e taran lah kaawm e Agag tami Hamedatha capa Haman ni Judahnaw teh thei hanlah khokhangnae a tawn dawkvah Purim cungpam a rayu awh toe. Hot teh, ahnimouh koung thei nahanelah a tho.
25 [They would remember] that when Esther told the king about Haman’s plan, the king arranged that the evil plan that Haman had made to kill the Jews would fail, and that he [would be killed] instead of the Jews, and that Haman and that his sons were hanged.
Hateiteh, Esta ni siangpahrang koe a cei teh Judahnaw koe Haman e kahawihoehe khokhangnae hah amae lû dawk bout bo sak hanlah, ama hoi a canaw haiyah thingsoi vah pathout hanlah, ca lahoi kâ a poe.
26 [Because the (lot/small marked stone) that Haman threw was called] Pur, the Jews called these days Purim. And, because of everything that ([Mordecai] wrote/was written) in that letter, and because of all that happened to them,
Purim cungpam tie tarawi teh hote hninnaw hah Purim cungpam hnin telah a kaw awh.
27 the Jews [throughout the empire] agreed to celebrate in that manner on those two days every year. They said that they would tell their descendants and those people who became Jews to be certain to celebrate this festival every year. They should celebrate just as [Mordecai] told them to do [in the letter] that he wrote.
Judahnaw ni amamouh koehoi ca catoun, ahnimouh koe kambawngnaw pueng haiyah, hote hninhnin touh teh Mordekai e ca dawk kaawm e patetlah kum tangkuem a ya awh.
28 They said that they would remember and celebrate on those two days every year, in each family, in every city, and in every province. They solemnly declared that they and their descendants would never stop remembering and celebrating those days called Purim.
Hote hnin teh Judahnaw dawk kahmat hoeh, ca catounnaw ni hai pahnim awh hoeh. Ram pueng dawk kaawm e a ca catounnaw ni a pahnim hoeh nahanlah a ya hanlah hnâ a bo awh.
29 Then Mordecai and Queen Esther, who was the daughter of Abihail, wrote a second letter about the Purim feast. Esther used the authority that she had because of being the queen to confirm that what Mordecai had written in the first letter was true.
Hatnavah, Abihail canu, siangpahrangnu Esta hoi Judah tami Mordekai ni Purim cungpam kong dawk apâhni ca patawnnae hah rek caksak hanlah kâtawnnae lahoi ca bout a thut.
30 What they wrote [in the second letter] was, “We wish that all of you will be living peacefully and safely/righteously. We want you and your descendants to celebrate Purim each year on the days that we two established, and to do the things that we two told you to do.” In that letter, Queen Esther and Mordecai also gave them instructions about (fasting/abstaining from eating food) and being sorrowful. Then copies of that letter were sent to all the Jews who were living in the 127 provinces of the empire.
Judah tami Mordekai hoi siangpahrang ni lawkthui e patetlah Judahnaw ni amamouh hoi ca catoun hanlah a sak e khoe e tueng nah rawcahainae, ratoumnae hoiyah Purim hninnaw hah pou ya hanlah,
Ahasuerus ni uknaeram 127 touh dawk kaawm e Judahnaw pueng koe roumnae yuemkamcu e ca hah Mordekai ni a poe.
32 The letter that Esther wrote about the manner in which they should celebrate the Purim feast was also written in an official record.
Hottelah, cungpam kong teh Esta ni kâpoe e lahoi a caksak awh teh siangpahrangnaw e cungpam dawkvah a thut awh.
