¹And in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them (but it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had power over them that hated them),

¹Huan a kha sawm leh nih, Adar kha, huaimah a ni sawm leh thum ni, kumpipa thupiak leh a thubawl tangtunna ding a hongnai lai, Judate melmaten a tung ua vaihawmna neih a kilamet ni uh; hinapi-a lah a hilou lama a hongkilehbuta, Judaten amau mudahte tunga vaihawmna a honneih lai un;

²the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout the provinces of king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt. And no man could withstand them; for the fear of them had fallen upon all the peoples.

²Kumpipa Ahasura bial tengteng a khopite uah Judate, amau siatna zongte tunga khut kha dingin, a kikhawm khawm ua: kuamahin lah amaute a nangzou kei uh; mite tengteng tungah lah amaute launa a hongomta ngala.

³And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors and officers of the king, helped the Jews; for the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them.

³Huchiin bialte-a lalte leh, gamukmite leh, ukpipate leh kumpina nasem ten, Judate a panpih ua; Mordekai launa lah a tunguah a hongom ngala.

⁴For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout the provinces; for the man Mordecai became continually greater.

⁴Kumpipa in ah Mordekai a thupi-a, bial tengtengah a min a thang kheta hi: hiai mipa Mordekai lah a hongthupi semsem ngala.

⁵And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword and slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.

⁵Huchiin namsaua satin Judaten a melmate tengteng a that ua, thahna leh hihsiatnain, amaute mudahte tungah ahih ding bang uh a hihta uhi.

⁶And in Shushan the fortress the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.

⁶Huan Susan inpi ah Judate mi za nga a that uh a hihgawp uh.

⁷And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,

⁷Huan Parsandatha te, Dalphon te, Aspahtha te,

⁸and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

⁸Poratha te, Adalia te, Aridantha te,

⁹and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,

⁹Parmaste te, Arisai te, Aridai te, Vajezatha te,

¹⁰the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the oppressor of the Jews, they slew; but they laid not their hands on the prey.

¹⁰Judate melmapa Hammedatha tapa Haman tapate, a that ua; himahleh gallak ah a khut uh a nga kei uhi.

¹¹On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the fortress was brought before the king.

¹¹Huai niin Susan inpi-a thaha om zah kumpipa maah a hontawi uh.

¹²And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the fortress, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? And what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request further? and it shall be done.

¹²Huan kumpipan kumpinu Esther kiangah, Judate Susan inpisungah mi zanga a that ua a hihsia uh, Haman tapa sawmte toh; kumpipa bial dangte ah bang a chi bawlta phet ding uamah: Khaile, bang na thum a? huan na kianga phal ahi ding: ahihkeileh bang ahia na nget lai? huan na kianga phal ahi, a chi a.

¹³And Esther said, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.

¹³Huan Estherin, Kumpipa lungkimna a hih leh, jingchianga tuni-a thupiak bangbanga gamtang dingin Susana om Judate phal inla, Haman tapa sawmte khailupna khuam ah kikhai le uh, a chi a.

¹⁴And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

¹⁴Huchiin huchibanga hih ding chiin kumpipan thu a pia: huan Susan ah thubawl a kipe khiaa: huchiin Haman tapa sawmte a khaita uhi.

¹⁵And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but they laid not their hand on the prey.

¹⁵Adar kha mah a ni sawm leh li niin Susana om Judate a kikhawm khawm ua, Susan ah mi za thum a that uh; himahleh gallak tungah a khut uh a nga kei uhi.

¹⁶And the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their life, and had rest from their enemies; and they slew of them that hated them seventy-five thousand (but they laid not their hand on the prey),

¹⁶Huchiin kumpipa bialtea om Juda dangte a kikhawm khawm ua, a hinna uh a hum ua, a melmate ua kipan khawlna a nei ua, huan amau mudahte lakah mi sing sagih leh sang nga a that ua; himahleh gallak tungah a khut uh a nga kei uh.

¹⁷on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

¹⁷Adar kha ni sawm leh thumniin hiai tuh hih ahi; huaimah a ni sawm leh li niin, a khawl ua, ankuanglui ni leh kipah niin a bawl uhi.

¹⁸But the Jews that were at Shushan gathered themselves together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

¹⁸Himahleh Susana om Judate a kikhawm khawm ua a ni sawm leh thum niin, leh a ni sawm leh li niin; huaimah a ni sawm leh nga niin a khawlta ua, ankuanglui ni leh kipah niin a bawl uhi.

¹⁹Therefore the Jews of the villages that dwell in the country towns make the fourteenth of the month Adar a day of joy and feasting, and a good day, and on which they send portions one to another.

¹⁹Huaijiakin kho neutea Judate, kho kulhbanga um louha tengten, Adar kha ni sawm leh li ni kipahna ni leh ankuanglui niin, ni hoih ni, leh a kuakua tantuan kikhakna niin a nei uhi.

²⁰And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews near and far that were in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus,

²⁰Huan Mordekai hiai thilte a gelha, kumpipa Ahasura bial tengtenga om Judate, gamla leh naiate kiangah a khaka,

²¹to establish [this] among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,

²¹Kum sika, Adar kha ni li leh, huaimah ni sawm leh ni nga ni tang dinga hilhna dingin,

²²as the days on which the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month that was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

²²Judate a melmate ua kipan a khawlni uh, amau adia lungkhamna kipahna a honghihna kha, misi sunna ni hoih a honghihna kha bangin: huai nite ankuangluina leh kipahna ni-a aom ua, tantuante a kuakua a kikhak ua, gentheite kianga thilpiakte piakna a neih theihna ding un.

²³And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them.

²³Huchiin Judaten a patkhitsa bang un leh, Mordekaiin amaute kianga a gelhkhitsa bangin hih dingin a theisiam uh.

²⁴For Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the oppressor of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them and to destroy them;

²⁴Hammedatha tapa Haman, Agag mi, Judate tengteng melmapan Judate tengteng siatna ding amau hihse ding, a ngaihtuaha, amaute hihgawp ding leh, amaute hihse dinga, Pur, huai bel, aisan ahi, a na paih jiakin;

²⁵and when [Esther] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and they hanged him and his sons on the gallows.

²⁵Hiamahleh a thu kumpipa ma a hongtunin, a ngaihtuah gilou, Judate siatna dia a ngaihtuah, amah lu tung mahmaha a kibut dingin laikhaktein thu a peta a; huchi-a amah leh a tapate khailupna khuama khai a omna ding un.

²⁶Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore, according to all the words of this letter, and for what they had seen concerning this matter and what had happened to them,

²⁶Huchibang a hih jiakin hiai nite Purim, Pur min juiin a sa uhi. Huaijiakin hiai laikhak thute tengteng jiak leh hiai thu tungtang thu a muhsa uh, a tung ua hongtung jiakin.

²⁷the Jews ordained and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would observe these two days according to their writing and according to their fixed time, every year;

²⁷Judaten a hihkip ua, amau tung leh, a suante uh tung leh, amaute huchi banga kizomkhawm bangte tengteng tungah a kisuanta uhi, huchi-a a pel lou hiala, huaia laigelh dungjuia leh, huaia hun sehsa dungjuia, kum chitenga hiai ni nihte a tan theihna ding un;

²⁸and that these days should be remembered and observed throughout every generation, in every family, every province, and every city, and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them cease from among their seed.

²⁸Huchi-a hiai nite a khang a khanga, a inkuankuana, bial chiteng leh khopi chitenga theihgige leh tana om theihna dingin; huchi-a hiai Purim nite Judate lak akipana a juau louha, huaite theihgigena leng a suante uh akipan a man louhna dingin.

²⁹And queen Esther the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.

²⁹Huchiin kumpinu Esther, Abiheil tanu leh, Mordekai Juda miin, hiai Purim laikhak nihna sukkipna dingin thuneihna tengtengin a gelhta uhi.

³⁰And he sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, words of peace and truth,

³⁰Huan Judate tengteng kiang ah, Ahasura gama bial ja leh sawm nih leh sagihte kiangah, lungmuanna leh thutak thute toh laikhakte a khakta a,

³¹to confirm these days of Purim in their fixed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and queen Esther had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, as to the matters of the fastings and their cry.

³¹Hiai Purim nite a hun sehsa uha, Mordekai Juda mi leh kumpinu Estherin huaite pha a sak uh dungjui leh, amau ading leh a suante uh adia, anngawlna leh a kahna thu ua a nahihkip bang ua hihkip dingin.Huchiin Esther thupiakin hiai Purim thute a hihkipa; laibu ah a kigelhta hi.

³²And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.

³²Huchiin Esther thupiakin hiai Purim thute a hihkipa; laibu ah a kigelhta hi.
