< 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,
Hat hnukkhu, siangpahrang Ahasuerus ni Agag tami Hammedatha capa Haman hah thaw a luen sak teh alouke tami kalen naw pueng hlakvah ka rasang poung koe a tahung sak.
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.
Hahoi, siangpahrang thongma longkha koe kaawm e a taminaw pueng ni Haman hah barinae a poe awh teh, a hmalah ouk a tabo pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang ni hot patetlah sak hanelah kâ a poe dawk doeh. Hateiteh, Mordekai ni a hmalah tabo hoi barinae hah poe ngai hoeh.
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?'
Siangpahrang e sannaw hoi longkha thung kaawm e naw pueng ni Mordekai koevah, bangkongmaw siangpahrang e kâ na tapoe telah atipouh awh.
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.
A hnintangkuem kâhruetcuetnae a poe awh ei, a ngâi pouh hoeh torei teh, Mordekai e lawk a cak hoi a cak hoeh e panue hanlah a ngai awh dawkvah Haman koe a dei pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mordekai ni Judah tami lah ao e yo a dei pouh toe.
5 And Haman seeth that Mordecai is not bowing and doing obeisance to him, and Haman is full of fury,
Mordekai ni a hmalah tabo hoi barinae poe hane a ngaihoehnae hah Haman ni a panue toteh, puenghoi a lungkhuek.
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.
Hateiteh, Mordekai dueng thei hane teh ka lung bet hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Mordekai teh api miphun dawk hoi e maw ti a dei awh toe. Hatdawkvah, Ahasuerus uknaeram thung kaawm e Judah tami Mordekai e tami pueng koung thei hanlah a kâcai.
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.
Siangpahrang Ahasuerus a bawinae kum 12, apasuek e thapa Nisan dawkvah, Haman hmalah ahnintha a touk, thapa 12 nah Adar thapa totouh Haman hmalah Purim tie cungpam ouk a rayu awh.
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;
Haman ni siangpahrang Ahasuerus koevah, Na ram thinghmuen tangkuem dawk miphun buet touh miphun alouke hoi kâvan hoeh e aloukcalah kaawm e ao. Ahnimae kâlawk teh alouknaw e kâlawk hoi khoeroe kâvan hoeh. Siangpahrang e kâlawk hai ngai awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, hottelah o sak e heh siangpahrang hanlah kamcu hoeh.
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.'
Siangpahrang na hnâ bawt pawiteh, koung thei hanlah ao tie kâ poe loe, siangpahrang rawca tanae dawk ngun tangka thong hra, touh ka ta han telah, atipouh.
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;
Siangpahrang ni hai hote tangka teh kai ni nang let na poe.
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.'
Hote miphunnaw koe sak han na ngai e patetlah sak thainae kâ na poe a titeh, a kuthrawt a rading teh, Judahnaw e taran Agag tami Hammedatha capa Haman koe a poe.
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,
Hottelah, thapa yung touh, hnin 13 nah siangpahrang ni cakathutkungnaw a kaw teh, Haman ni kâ poe e patetlah siangpahrang e tami kacuenaw hoi, ram kaukkungnaw hoi, miphun pueng e kahrawikung koe ca koung a patawn. Ram pueng dawkvah amamae lawk hoi siangpahrang Ahasuerus e kâpoe e patetlah ca a thut awh teh, siangpahrang e kuthrawt hoi tacik a kin awh.
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,
Siangpahrang uknaeram pueng dawk e Judahnaw pueng, nawsai, matawng, camo hoi napuinaw totouh, hnin touh hoi, thapa hlaikahni nah, Adar thapa hnin 13 nah raphoe, thei, tâkhawng vaiteh a hnopai teh koung la pouh hanlah ca a patawn.
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.
Hote hnin hanlah coungkacoe o hanlah ca teh ram tangkuem e tami pueng koevah pathang hanlah ao.
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.
Siangpahrang ni kâ a poe hoi ca kareinaw hah karanglah a patoun awh. Kâpoe e teh siangpahrang khopui Susan vah a pathang awh. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang hoi Haman teh yamu nei hanlah a tahung roi, hatei, Susan khopui teh ngaihmang hoi ao awh.
