¹After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

¹Hiai thilte nungin kumpipa Ahasurain Haman Agag mi Hammedatha tapa a kaisangsaka, malam a nawtsaka, a kianga om lalte tengteng tunglamah a tutphah a koih hi.

²And all the king's servants that were in the king's gate bowed and did Haman reverence, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did [him] reverence.

²Huchiin kumpipa sikhate tengteng, kumpipa kongpi-a omte niamchikin a kun ua, Haman a zahtak mahmah uh: kumpipan lah amah tungtang thu huchibangin thu a peta ngala, Himahleh Mordekai a kun keia, amah zahna a bawl sam kei.

³Then the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?

³Huchihlaiin kumpipa sikhate, kumpipa kongpi-a omten, Mordekai kiangah, Bangdia kumpipa thupiaka talek na hia? a chi ua.

⁴And it came to pass as they spoke daily to him, and he hearkened not to them, that they informed Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

⁴Huan hichi ahi a, ni tenga amah a houpih lai un, amau a ngaikhe keia, Mordekai thu pai ding hia pai lou ding chih thei dingin Haman a hilh uh: amah Juda mi ahi chih amaute lah a hilhta ngala.

⁵And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, Haman was full of fury.

⁵Huchi-a Mordekai niam chika kun louin, amah a zahtak kei chih Hamanin a theihin, Haman a heh mahmah hi.

⁶But he scorned to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus -- the people of Mordecai.

⁶Himahleh Mordekai tung kiaa khutkhak bangthamlouin a ngaihtuaha; Mordekai mite lah amah a ensakta ngal ua; huchiin Hamanin Ahasura gam pumpi-a om Judate tengteng, Mordekai mite tana, hihgawp dingin a zongta hi.

⁷In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman for each day and for each month, to the twelfth [month], that is, the month Adar.

⁷Kumpipa Ahasura kum sawm leh kum nihin, kha khatna, Nisan khain, Pur a san ua, huai bel ai ahi, Haman maah, nitengin, kha tengin, kha sawmlehnih, Adar kha tanin.

⁸And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from [those of] every people, and they keep not the king's laws; and it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.

⁸Huan Hamanin kumpipa Ahasura kiangah, Mi kuate hiam kitheh jaka na gam bial sung tengtenga mite laka dalh a om ua; huan a dante uh mi tengteng dan toh a kibang keia; kumpipa dante lah a jui kei uh: huaijiakin amaute thuaktheih kumpipa punna ding ahi kei hi.

⁹If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have charge of the affairs, to bring [it] into the king's treasuries.

⁹Kumpipa deihlam a hih leh, hihgawpa a omna ding un lai kigelh leh: huan kumpipa nasepnaa heutute khut ah ken dangka talent sang sawm ka pe ding, kumpipa sumbawmte a tawi lut dingin a chi a.

¹⁰And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.

¹⁰Huan a khut akipan kumpipan a zungbuh a suaha, Agag mi Hammedatha tapa Haman kiangah, Juda te melmapa kiangah a pia hi.

¹¹And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as seems good to thee.

¹¹Huchiin kumpipan Haman kiangah, Dangka na kianga piak ahi, mipi leng, amau tunga pha na saksak hih dingin, a chi a.

¹²Then were the king's scribes called, in the first month, on the thirteenth day of the [month], and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king's satraps, and to the governors over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people according to their language: in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.

¹²Huchihlaiin a kha khatna, a ni sawm leh thum niin, kumpipa laigelhmite a sam lut ua, kumpipa heutuliante leh kumpipa bial chiha omte tengteng leh mi chiteng lalte Hamanin thu a piak peuhmah dungjuiin a kigelhta hi; bial chih kiangah huaia kigelh dungjuiin, mi chihteng kiang ah a pau bang jel un; kumpipa Ahasura minin a kigelha, kumpipa zungbuhin suai a kaisawn hi.

¹³And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, upon the thirteenth of the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, and [to take] the spoil of them for a prey.

¹³Huchiin, Adar kha, kha sawm leh nih a ni sawm leh thum ni mahmaha, ni khata, Juda mite tengteng a tek a khang naupang noute leh numeite hihgawp ding, that ding leh mangthang sak dingin, kumpipa bial sung tengteng ah dakin laikhakte a khak ua, a sum uh gallaka lak sak dingin.

¹⁴That the decree might be given in every province, a copy of the writing was published to all peoples, that they should be ready against that day.

¹⁴Laigelh kopi, thupiak bial chitenga piak khiak dingin huai ni adia kimansaa a om theihna ding un, mi tengteng kiangah a suah uhi.Kumpipa thupiakin dakte kinoh takin a pawt khia ua, Susan inpi ah thupiak a kipekhiaa: huan kumpipa leh Haman dawn dingin a tu ua; himahleh Susan khopi a lungjing hi.

¹⁵The couriers went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the fortress. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was in consternation.

¹⁵Kumpipa thupiakin dakte kinoh takin a pawt khia ua, Susan inpi ah thupiak a kipekhiaa: huan kumpipa leh Haman dawn dingin a tu ua; himahleh Susan khopi a lungjing hi.
