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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

⁴Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

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

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

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.

⁶And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

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.

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 from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.

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.

⁸And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

¹³And the letters were sent by posts 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, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

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.

¹⁴The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.

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.

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