< Esther 2 >

1 After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of the king Ahasuerus, he hath remembered Vashti, and that which she did, and that which hath been decreed concerning her;
Xerxes lunghan adailhah phat in, Vashti in ipi anabolla chule aman ama chung chang ipi dan anasem am ti ahin gel pantan ahi.
2 and servants of the king, his ministers, say, 'Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance,
Hijeh chun lengpa kinaipi, thumop phabep in akomah, “Naleng gamsunga nang dingin nungah theng, amel hoitah khat lhengdoh uhite tin,” ngehna aneitaovin ahi.
3 and the king doth appoint inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman — virgin, of good appearance — unto Shushan the palace, unto the house of the women, unto the hand of Hege eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications,
“Na lenggam sunga gambih sung tinnah khangdong numei melhoitah ho hinpuija Susa khopi sung lengte numei kholna munna hinkhol khomding nganse phabep kipansah henlang, lengpa inpia nukiso ho lah a lamkai Hegai hin numei kikholna munna umho chu amellu ahoithei nadiuva akijen ding dan nu hin vesui dingin kinganse hen.
4 and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king doth reign instead of Vashti;' and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he doth so.
Hiche jouteng chuleh khangdong numei ho lah a lengpa lung lhaisah theipen chu Vashti khellin lengnu kihisah hen,” atiuve. Hiche thumop hin lengpa alung lhaisah lheh jengin, hijeh chun hiche tohgon chu achelhah sahtai.
5 A man, a Jew, there hath been in Shushan the palace, and his name [is] Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite —
Hiche laitah chun Susa khopi sunga chun Jair chapa Mordecai kiti Judate mikhat ana um'in ahi. Amachu Benjamin phung sunga Kish le Shimei chilhah khat anahi.
6 who had been removed from Jerusalem with the removal that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed —
Amahi Nebuchadnezzer lengpan Juda lengpa Jehoiachin Jerusalema konna Babylon na ahin kailut tha holah a insung mikhat ahi.
7 and he is supporting Hadassah — she [is] Esther — daughter of his uncle, for she hath neither father nor mother, and the young woman [is] of fair form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother hath Mordecai taken her to him for a daughter.
Hiche mipa hin Hadassah ahilou leh Esther tiajong kihe, apangahpa chanu khat ana vahdoh ahin, amanu hi mimel hoitah leh dei umtah nungah ahi. Amahi anule apa athi phatna Mordecai hin ainsung mikhatna ahin kilah lutna achanu tabang banga ahn kikhou khah ahi.
8 And it cometh to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered unto Shushan the palace, unto the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken unto the house of the king, unto the hand of Hegai, keeper of the women,
Lengpa dan thupeh dungjuija khangdong numei dang tamtah toh Susa khopi sunga leng in na numei kikholna mun ah ahin puilut’un Hegai vesuina noijah akoi taovin ahi.
9 and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receiveth kindness before him, and he hasteneth her purifications and her portions — to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided — to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changeth her and her young women to a good [place in] the house of the women.
Amanu hin Hegai chu alung lhaisah lheh jengin hijeh chun amanjong Esther chu khohsahna neitah in ajen pantan ahi. Aman gangtah in nehle chah atuipen agonpeh in, amelhoina dinga akinuding jong agonpeh loi jengin ahi. Aman amanu jenle dingin leng inpia kon in nungah sagi agonpeh in numei kikholna a mun nompen laitah a ajenle nungah hotoh aumsah in ahi.
10 Esther hath not declared her people, and her kindred, for Mordecai hath laid a charge on her that she doth not declare [it];
Mordecai in aseipeh dungjuijin amanu hin koi nam mi koi insunga kon ahi koimacha kom’a aseidoh pon ahi.
11 and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is done with her.
Niseh in, Mordecai chun Esther chunga chu itobang thu sohtam ti ahetnom jeh'in numeiho kikholna munlai tah leitol vella chun avahle le jin ahi.
12 And in the drawing nigh of the turn of each young woman to come in unto the king Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her — according to the law of the women — twelve months, for so they fulfil the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices, and with the purifications of women,
Hiche nungah hochu lengpa jalkhunna akipuilut masangin lha somleni melhoina dinga kijenna phat chu kipea ahi; lhagup sungchu Myrrh thao kinuding, lhagup ma chu gim namtui phapen ho akinudiu ahi.
13 and with this the young woman hath come in unto the king, all that she saith is given to her, to go in with her, out of the house of the women, unto the house of the king;
Lengpa kom’a acheding tengleh numei kikholna konna chu numei kijep pahna thil itobang hijongleh akichoi nom penkhat akichoi ding ahi.
14 in the evening she hath gone in, and in the morning she hath turned back unto the second house of the women, unto the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she cometh not in any more unto the king except the king hath delighted in her, and she hath been called by name.
Hiche nilhah teng chuleh amanu chu lengpa indan tumbeh khatna kipuilut ding, chujou teng ajing jingkah tengle lengpa inpi numei kholna anichanna lengpa jite chenna a chu puilut ding ahi. Hichea chu lengpa thaikem ho chingpa Shaashgaz vetsuina noija umdiu ahi. Amachu ijemtia lengpan ngaichatna aneija aminna ahinkou tilouva lengpa kom’a chu lutkit lou helding ahi.
15 And in the drawing nigh of the turn of Esther — daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to him for a daughter — to come in unto the king, she hath not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, saith, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing her.
Esther chu Mordecai pangah Abihail chanu ahi (Mordecai jin apangahpa chanu khangdongcha Esther chu ahin vahdoh ahi). Lengpa kom’a Esther chephat ahung hiphat in, numei kholna a avesui apang nukiso Hegai in ahilna chengse chu akimel chih in ahi. Amanun thildang imacha donlouvin amapan aseipeh bouchu akichoijin ahileh amujousen a-ot chalheh jengun ahi.
16 And Esther is taken unto the king Ahasuerus, unto his royal house, in the tenth month — it [is] the month of Tebeth — in the seventh year of his reign,
Esther chu leng Xerxes avaihomna kum sagi channa phalbi hunglhun tilchun lengpa khopia lengpa koma chun apuilut’un ahi.
17 and the king loveth Esther above all the women, and she receiveth grace and kindness before him above all the virgins, and he setteth a royal crown on her head, and causeth her to reign instead of Vashti,
Lengpan khangdong numei dangho sangin alungset jon ahi. Lengpan amanu chu adeilheh jengin, hijeh chun lallukhuh chu akhuhpeh in Vashti khellin lengnun atung tan ahi.
18 and the king maketh a great banquet to all his heads and his servants — the banquet of Esther — and a release to the provinces hath made, and giveth gifts as a memorial of the king.
Hiche chu alopna in Esther min’in milen milal holeh vaihom hochu golvah abolpeh in gambih ho jousea nikhat choldo nikho alhapeh in kipa thilpeh jong mijouse apen ahi.
19 And in the virgins being gathered a second time, then Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king;
Khangdong numei hochu numei kholna anichanna a chu asollut jouvun, chule Mordecai chu khopi sunga vaihom khat in ahungpang tan ahi.
20 Esther is not declaring her kindred and her people, as Mordecai hath laid a charge upon her, and the saying of Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him.
Hichan geijin jong Esther chun anam leh akonna insung aphongdoh hih laiye. Aman Mordecai in na aumlaija athu angai bangin tunjong athupeh ajui nalaije
21 In those days, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king, hath Bigthan been wroth, and Teresh, (two of the eunuchs of the king, the keepers of the threshold, ) and they seek to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus,
Nikhat hi Mordecai chu lengpa kotpi kom’a anatohna munna ana toupet chun lengpa dinga nukiso, lengpa achom’a agena indan ngah teni Bigthan le Teresh chu lengpa Xerxes chunga alung hang lhonnin thadoh dingin agong lhontan ahi.
22 and the thing is known to Mordecai, and he declareth [it] to Esther the queen, and Esther speaketh to the king in the name of Mordecai,
Ahinlah Mordecai jin athilgon lhonchu ana jadoh in lengnu Esther kom’a chun thu chu analhut in ahi. Amanun hichu lengpa kom’a aseidoh in Mordecai akonna kihedoh ahichu ana hetsah e.
23 and the thing is sought out, and found, and they are hanged both of them on a tree, and it is written in the book of the Chronicles before the king.
Hichu kholtohna aneiyun ahile Mordecai thusei chu adih monge ti photchetna aum phat in nukiso teni chu thingchunga akhailih taovin ahi. Hichehi Xerxes lengpa thusimbua akijih lut tan ahi.
