1After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes who 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.
2All the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai didn’t bow down or pay him homage.
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 do you disobey the king’s commandment?”
3Huchihlaiin kumpipa sikhate, kumpipa kongpi-a omten, Mordekai kiangah, Bangdia kumpipa thupiaka talek na hia? a chi ua.
4Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn’t listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s reason 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.
5When Haman saw that Mordecai didn’t bow down, nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
5Huchi-a Mordekai niam chika kun louin, amah a zahtak kei chih Hamanin a theihin, Haman a heh mahmah hi.
6But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai’s people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even Mordecai’s people.
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, which 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, and chose the twelfth month, which 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.
8Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people’s. They don’t keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not for the king’s profit to allow them to remain.
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 pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king’s business, 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.
10The 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.
11The king said to Haman, “The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.”
11Huchiin kumpipan Haman kiangah, Dangka na kianga piak ahi, mipi leng, amau tunga pha na saksak hih dingin, a chi a.
12Then the king’s scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king’s satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus, and it was 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.
13Letters 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, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
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.
14A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the 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 forth in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
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.
