¹Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it was turned out the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who 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 all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the people.

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.

³All the princes of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on 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 out throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.

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

⁵The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who 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.

⁶In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.

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

⁷They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,

⁷Huan Parsandatha te, Dalphon te, Aspahtha te,

⁸Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,

⁸Poratha te, Adalia te, Aridantha te,

⁹Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,

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

¹⁰the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew’s enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.

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 who were slain in the citadel of Susa was brought before the king.

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

¹²The king said to Esther the queen, “The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? 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.

¹³Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on 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.

¹⁴The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in 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.

¹⁵The Jews who were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Shushan; but they didn’t lay their hand on the spoil.

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.

¹⁶The other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.

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.

¹⁷This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

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 who were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

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, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a good day, and a day of sending presents of food to one 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.

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

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

²¹to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,

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

²²as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.

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.

²³The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them;

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

²⁴because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted 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;

²⁵but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged 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, Purim is the Hebrew plural for pur, which means lot. ” from the word “Pur.” Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come 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 established, and imposed on themselves, and on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to what was written, and according to its appointed 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 kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor their memory perish from 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.

²⁹Then Esther the queen, 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.

³⁰He sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with 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 appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants, in the matter 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.

³²The commandment 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.
