1Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.
1Huan hichi ahi a a nithum niin, Estherin a kumpi puansilh a silha, kumpipa in jawna, kumpipa pisa sungnungzopen ah a vading a: huan kumpipa bel in lutna jawna, kumpi in ah a laltutphah tungah a natu hi.
2When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther came near, and touched the top of the scepter.
2Huan hichi bang ahi a, kumpipan pisaa kumpinu Esther ding a muhin, a mitmuhin deihsakna a ngahta hi: huan kumpipan a khuta om dangkaeng lalchiang Esther lamah a sima. Huchiin Esther a hong naia, lalchiang dawn a khoih hi.
3Then the king asked her, “What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.”
3Huan kumpipan a kiangah, Bang na deiha, kumpinu Esther? huan na ngetna bang ahia? piak na hi peuhmah dinga gam kimkhat tanin, leng, a chi a.
4Esther said, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
4Huan Estherin, Tuniin kumpipa leh Haman amaha dia ka bawl annekna ah hongpai un, kumpipan hoih a sak leh, a chi a.
5Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
5Huan kumpipan, Haman kinoh sak un, Esther gen banga hih a hih theihna dingin, a chi a. Huchiin kimpipa leh Haman Esther annekna bawl ah a hong uh.
6The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
6Huan uain annekna ah kumpipan Esther kiang ah, Bang ahia na thumna? phal a hih theihna dingin: huan bang ahia na ngetna? gam kimkhat tanin leng bawl ahi ding, a chi a.
7Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this.
7Huan Estherin a dawnga Ka thumna leh ka ngetna hiai ahi;
8If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said.”
8Kumpipa mitmuha deihsakna ka muh aleh, ka thumna phal ding, leh ka ngetna bawl dinga kumpipa a lungkim leh, kumpipa leh Haman amau adia ka bawl ding annekna ah hong le uh, huan kumpipan a chih bangin jingchiangin ka hih ding, a chi a.
9Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he didn’t stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
9Huchiin huai niin nuamsa leh lung kipakin Haman a pai kheta a: himahleh Mordekai kumpipa kongpi-a om, amah dia ding lou-a tat leng tang lou Hamanin a muhin, Mordekai tungah a heh pha mahmah hi.
10Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
10Huchiin leng Haman a kiip teiteia, in ah a paita; huan mi a sawla a lawmte leh a ji Zeresh a hontonpiha.
11Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
11Huan Hamanin a kiang uah, a hauhsakna thupina leh, a tate tamdan leh, kumpipan a kaisang sakna thil tengteng leh kumpipa sikhate lalte tunga a masaksak tuam dan khawng a gen hi.
12Haman also said, “Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.
12Hamanin, A hi, Estherin annekna a bawl ah mi kuamah kumpipa toh kei chih louhngal a hoh sak kei; huan jingchiangin leng kumpipa toh kei a honsam khawma.
13Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
13Hitamahleh hiaite tengteng keia dingin bangmah a phatuam kei, Mordekai Judapa kumpipa kongpi-a tu ka muh laiteng, a chi laia.Huan a ji Zeres leh alawmte tengtengin a kiangah, Khailupna khuamtong sawmngaa sang kibawl henla, jingsang in nang kumpipa kiangah thugen inla huaia Mordekai khailup ahih theih na dingin; huchiin vualnuam takin kumpipa toh annekna ah hoh le uchin, a chi ua. Huan hiaiin Haman a kipak saka; huchiin khailupna khuam a bawl sakta hi.
14Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet.” This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
14Huan a ji Zeres leh alawmte tengtengin a kiangah, Khailupna khuamtong sawmngaa sang kibawl henla, jingsang in nang kumpipa kiangah thugen inla huaia Mordekai khailup ahih theih na dingin; huchiin vualnuam takin kumpipa toh annekna ah hoh le uchin, a chi ua. Huan hiaiin Haman a kipak saka; huchiin khailupna khuam a bawl sakta hi.
