< Esther 3 >

1 After these things hath the king Ahasuerus exalted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and lifteth him up, and setteth his throne above all the heads who [are] with him,
Phat chomkhat jouvin leng Xerxes in Agag mipa Hamadatha chapa Haman chu atohmun akalsah in amithupi holah a achungnung pen’in apansah in, aleng gamsunga vaihom ho jouse lah a thanei pen’in apansah tan ahi.
2 and all servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, are bowing and doing obeisance to Haman, for so hath the king commanded for him; and Mordecai doth not bow nor do obeisance.
Lengpa dinga vaipo ho jousen lengpa thupeh dungjuija Haman masanga hi dilsu sohkei diu jana apeh chehdiu ahi. Ahinlah Mordecai hi adilsu nompon jana jong ape nompon ahi.
3 And the servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, say to Mordecai, 'Wherefore [art] thou transgressing the command of the king?'
Hichejou hin lengpa kelkot kom’a um lengpa khopi vaipo a panghon Mordecai jah a, “Nang in ipi dinga lengpa thupeh nanit louham?” atiuvin ahi.
4 And it cometh to pass, in their speaking unto him, day by day, and he hath not hearkened unto them, that they declare [it] to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai do stand, for he hath declared to them that he [is] a Jew.
Amahon niseh in aseipeh jengun ahinlah aman thupeh chu ajuideh pon ahi. Hijeh chun amahon Mordecai chu Judate ahi chu ahet utoh kilhon chun Haman chun i-alo am ti in Mordecai umchan chu Haman chu aseipeh un ahi.
5 And Haman seeth that Mordecai is not bowing and doing obeisance to him, and Haman is full of fury,
Haman in Modecai chun a-anga abohkhup lou chuleh jana apehlou chu amun alung ahang lheh jeng tan ahi.
6 and it is contemptible in his eyes to put forth a hand on Mordecai by himself, for they have declared to him the people of Mordecai, and Haman seeketh to destroy all the Jews who [are] in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus — the people of Mordecai.
Aman Mordecai chu koi nam mi ahi ti ahin hetdoh phat in, Mordecai chung seh seh a thilse bolding chu ahin sit tan ahi. Hijeh chun Xerxes lenggam pumpin Judate te jouse suhmang dingin ahin gongtan ahi.
7 In the first month — it [is] the month of Nisan — in the twelfth year of the king Ahasuerus, hath one caused to fall Pur (that [is] the lot) before Haman, from day to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth, it [is] the month of Adar.
Hiti chun leng Xerxes vaipoh kum somni le kumni channa Lhatun lhasung in athilgon ho tohdoh na dinga hi ipi lhapen lhasungin phading ham tichu Haman kom’a vangvetna ana um'in ahi (Hiche vangvetna chu Purim akiti). Anikho kilhengdoh chu alha Lhakao lha nisagi ni ahin, hiche nikho chu kumkhat jou anahi.
8 And Haman saith to the king Ahasuerus, 'There is one people scattered and separated among the peoples, in all provinces of thy kingdom, and their laws [are] diverse from all people, and the laws of the king they are not doing, and for the king it is not profitable to suffer them;
Hijouchun Haman in leng Xerxes kom’a chun achen aga sei tai, “Naleng gamsunga hin namchom jatkhat aum in ama hohi gambih jousea hin akithe thangsoh hellun, chule midanga konin atumbeh in aumin ahi. Amahon midanga toh kibanglou dan chombeh aneiyun, lengpa na dan sem jonghi anit pouvin ahi. Hijeh chun amaho hinghoi ding lengpa dingin thilpha hiponte,” ati peh tai.
9 if to the king [it be] good, let it be written to destroy them, and ten thousand talents of silver I weigh into the hands of those doing the work, to bring [it] in unto the treasuries of the king.'
“Hijeh chun lengpa nalung lhaina ahiding leh amaho hi suhmangna dingin dan khat semdoh jengin lang hiche din tongdoh ding hochu keiman dangka talent sang som pe nange, amahon hiche lengpa sumkholna insunga koinao vinte.” ati.
10 And the king turneth aside his signet from off his hand, and giveth it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of the Jews;
Lengpan aphatsah in, athulhuh nachu suhdetna in akhutna kon in akhutjem aladoh in Agag mipa Hammedatha chapa Haman Judate galmipa kom’a chun apetan ahi.
11 and the king saith to Haman, 'The silver is given to thee, and the people, to do with it as [it is] good in thine eyes.'
Lengpan aseijin, “Hiche sum chuleh mipi hochu nang khutna aum’e phante nati dan dannin boltan” ati.
12 And scribes of the king are called, on the first month, on the thirteenth day of it, and it is written according to all that Haman hath commanded, unto lieutenants of the king, and unto the governors who [are] over province and province, and unto the heads of people and people, province and province, according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, in the name of the king Ahasuerus it hath been written and sealed with the signet of the king,
Hiti chun Lhatun nidan nisom le nisagi ni hin lengpa lekha sun hochu akoukhom un chuleh Haman dei dungjuitah chun dan khat jihdoh in aumtai. Hiche chu lengpa vaihom lenpen ho, gambih a gamvaipo ho, chuleh gambih jousea milen milal ho, amaho lekha jemleh apaocheh un akijihdoh in ahi. Hiche dan chu leng Xerxes min in akijih in achunga lengpa mohor chu akinam khum in ahi.
13 and letters to be sent by the hand of the runners unto all provinces of the king, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy all the Jews, from young even unto old, infant and women, on one day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month — it [is] the month of Adar — and their spoil to seize,
Hiche lekha hochu gangtah a aga hopdoh loi diuvin thupole a pangho chu akisoldoh in, amahon lenggam sunga gambih ho jousea agahomdoh un Judate ho jouse khangdonga patna tehse gei, numei chapang puma nikhat sunga thadoh ding, suhmang chuleh suhbeihel ding ahi akiti. Hiche kinhi kumkit alha Lhakao ni sagi nia tohdoh teidinga thupeh ahi. Hitobanga kithat Judate ho thilkeo chu athat ho chang ding ahiuve.
14 a copy of the writing to be made law in every province and province is revealed to all the peoples, to be ready for this day.
Hiche dan kijihna lekha hi gambih jousea thot-lut sohding chuleh mijouse lekha phondoh ding hitia chu akitep nikho ahunglhung teng tohdoh jeng theina diuva kigong ahi.
15 The runners have gone forth, hastened by the word of the king, and the law hath been given in Shushan the palace, and the king and Haman have sat down to drink, and the city Shushan is perplexed.
Lengpa thupeh a kon in, dan kisodoh hochu thupole hon gangtah a ahopdoh diu, Susa khopia akiphongdoh tai. Hiche jouchun lengpa le Haman atou lhonin adonkhom lhontai; ahinla Susa khopia mipite lah achun lungkham nale boina alhungtai.
