¹On that day, King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the Jews’ enemy, to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.

¹Huai niin kumpipa Ahasurain Judate melmapa Haman in kumpinu Esther kiangah a piaa. Huan kumpipa maah Mordekai a honga; Estherin amah a dingin kua ahia chih a gen khinta ngala.

²The king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

²Huan kumpipan a zuihbuh a suaha, Haman akipana a lak, Mordekai kiangah a peta hi. Huan Estherin Mordekai Haman inko tungah a koihta hi.

³Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and begged him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

³Huan Estherin kumpipa maah thu a gen nalaia, a khe bula pukin, Agag mi Haman giloubawl leh Judate siatna dinga a lunggel khitsa a lunggelna koih mang dingin khitui toh amah a ngen ngutngut hi.

⁴Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.

⁴Huchiin kumpipan Esther lamah a dangkaeng lalchiang a lena. Huchiin Esther a thou-a kumpipa maah a dingta.

⁵She said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

⁵Huan aman, Kumpipa lungkimna a hiha, amitmuha deihsakna ka muha, kumpipa maa thil dika a lata, a muha lungkimhuai ka hih aleh, Haman Hammedatha Agag mi tapain laikhak a bawlte kumpipa biala om tengteng Judate hihsiatna dinga a gelh sutin om hen:

⁶For how can I endure to see the evil that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?”

⁶Huchilouin ka mite tunga gilou tung ding ken bangchibangin ka en ngam thei mahmah dia? ahihkeileh ka tanaute siatna ken bangchiin ka mu ngam dia? a chi a.

⁷Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, “See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.

⁷Huan kumpipa Ahasurain kumpinu Esther kiang leh Mordekai Juda mi kiangah, Ngai un, Judate tunga a khut a khak jiakin, Haman inkote leh, khailupna khuama a khialuppa uh amah Esther kiangah a peta hi.

⁸Write also to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring; for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may not be reversed by any man.”

⁸Na deih bang un, kumpipa minin, kumpipa zungbuha sawnin, Judate kiangah leng laigelh un: laigelh kumpipa mina gelha, kumpipa zungbuha sawn lah, mi kuapeuhmahin a hihlamdang thei ngal kei a, a chi a.

⁹Then the king’s scribes were called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of the month; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing, and in their language.

⁹Huan huailaiin kumpipa laigelhmite a sam ua, a kha thumna Siva khaa, a ni sawmnih leh thum niin; huan Judate tungtang thu Mordekaiin thu apiak bangin gamheutute kiang leh, India a kipan Ethopia phaa om bialte ukpipate leh lalte, bial ja leh sawmnih leh sagih, huaia gelhdan bangjela bial chiteng kiang, mi chiteng a pau uh dungjui jelin, a laigelh uh bang jela Judate, apau uh bang jelin a kiang uah gelhin a omta hi.

¹⁰He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by courier on horseback, riding on royal horses that were bread from swift steeds.

¹⁰Huan kumpipa Ahasura minin a gelha, kumpipa zungbuh in a sawna, kumpipa nasepnaa kizang sek sakol man-gang, hoih taka vulhtea tuangin sakol tungah dakin laikhakte a khakta hi.

¹¹In those letters, the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to defend their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions,

¹¹Huaiah kumpipan khopi chitenga om Judate kikhawm khawma, a hinna udia panga, amaute sual ding a nauneute uleh a numeite uh, a sum uh gallaka la dinga, kisa mite leh bial thilhih theihna hihse ding leh mangthang sak din phalna a pia a.

¹²on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

¹²Kumpipa Ahasur bial tengteng ah ni khatin, huai bel, a kha sawm leh nih, Adar kha ahi a, a ni sawm leh thumni takin.

¹³A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

¹³Bial chitenga piak ding chi-a thupiak, kigelh a kopi mite tengteng kiangah suahin a oma, huai ni chianga Judaten a melmate uh tunga phu la dinga mansaa a om theihna ding un.

¹⁴So the couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. The decree was given out in the citadel of Susa.

¹⁴Huchiin dak kumpipa nasepnaa zat sakol man-gangte tunga tuangte a pai khia ua, kumpipa thupiakin amau a nohin a khawksak ngal ua; huan thupiak pen Susan inpi-a piak khiak ahi.

¹⁵Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and was glad.

¹⁵Huchiin Mordekai bel kumpi puan dum leh kang, dangkaeng lallukhu thupi toh, puannaktual puanmalngat hoih leh sandup toh kumpipa ma akipan a pai khetaa: huan Susan khopi a kikou a, a kipak hi.

¹⁶The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor.

¹⁶Huchiin Judaten koujanna leh kipahna, nuamna leh zahna a nei uhi.Huan bial chiteng leh, khopi chitenga, koilai peuha kumpipa thupiak leha thubawl paina peuhah, Judaten kipahna leh nuamna a nei ua, ankuangluina leh ni hoih. Huchiin gama mite laka tampite Judate a honghi ua; Judate launa lah a tunguah a hongomta ngala.

¹⁷In every province, and in every city, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast, and a good day. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on them.

¹⁷Huan bial chiteng leh, khopi chitenga, koilai peuha kumpipa thupiak leha thubawl paina peuhah, Judaten kipahna leh nuamna a nei ua, ankuangluina leh ni hoih. Huchiin gama mite laka tampite Judate a honghi ua; Judate launa lah a tunguah a hongomta ngala.
