Esther 6
1 Te kah khoyin ah tah manghai te a ih hoelh. Te dongah khokhuen olka poekkoepnah cabu te loh hamla a thui pah. Te vaengah manghai mikhmuh ah aka tae pah ham khaw om uh.
On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2 Te vaengah cingkhaa aka tawt, manghai imkhoem rhoi Bigthan neh Teresh loh manghai Ahasuerus kut hlah thil ham a mae rhoi vaengah Mordekai a puen pah tila a daek te a hmuh.
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3 Te dongah manghai loh, “He dongah Mordekai ham umponnah neh lennah metlam a saii?” a ti nah. Te vaengah amah taengah aka thotat manghai kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh, “Anih ham hno pakhat khaw a saii pah moenih,” a ti uh.
And the king said, What honour and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
4 Manghai loh, “Vongup kah te unim?” a ti vaengah, Haman tah thing dongah Mordekai kuiok sak ham a tawn te manghai taengah thui hamla manghai im kah vongup khuila lom kun.
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 Te vaengah manghai kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh a taengah, “Haman vongup ah pai ke,” a ti uh. Te dongah manghai loh, “Ha kun saeh,” a ti nah.
And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 Haman a kun van neh a taengah, “Manghai loh amah kah umponah dongah khueh a ngaih hlang ham te manghai loh balae a saii pa eh?” a ti nah. Te vaengah Haman loh a lungbuei ah, 'Manghai loh kai lakah aka hoeikhang te umponah saii pah ham unim a ngaih?,” a ti.
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delights to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
7 Te dongah Haman loh manghai taengah, “Manghai loh amah kah umponah dongah khueh a ngaih hlang te,
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honour,
8 manghai amah pum dongkah a bai nawn manghai pueinak, manghai loh a soah a ngol thil marhang, a lu dongah a khuem manghai rhuisam te khuen saeh.
Let the royal apparel be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
9 Te phoeiah pueinak neh marhang te angrhaeng manghai kah mangpa rhoek lamkah pakhat kut ah pae saeh. Te vaengah manghai loh amah kah umponah dongah khueh ham a ngaih hlang te bai sak saeh. Te phoeiah anih te khopuei toltung la marhang dongah ngol sak saeh lamtah a hmai ah, 'Manghai loh amah kah umponah khuiah khueh a ngaih hlang ham tah he tlam ni a saii,’ tila doek saeh,” a ti nah.
And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man likewise whom the king delights to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour.
10 Te phoeiah manghai loh Haman te, “Na thui bangla pueinak neh marhang te tlek lo lamtah manghai vongka ah aka ngol Judah Mordekai ham saii pah. Na thui boeih te ol pakhat khaw rhul sak boeh,” a ti nah.
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.
11 Te dongah Haman loh pueinak neh marhang te a loh tih Mordekai te a bai sak. Te phoeiah anih khopuei toltung la a ngol sak tih a hmai ah, 'Manghai loh amah kah umponah khuiah khueh a ngaih hlang ham tah he tlam ni a saii,’ tila a doek.
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delights to honour.
12 Te phoeiah Mordekai te manghai vongka la mael. Tedae Haman tah a im la mael paitok tih rhahdoe cangpoem ah a lu te a muei.
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
13 Haman loh a taengah aka thoeng boeih te a yuu Zeresh taeng neh a lungnah boeih taengah a thui. Te vaengah amah te a hlangcueih rhoek neh a yuu Zeresh loh, “Mordekai te Judah tiingan lamkah koinih, a mikhmuh ah cungku sak ham na tong cakhaw anih te na noeng mahpawh, a mikhmuh ah rhep na cungku rhoe na cungku ni,” a ti nah.
And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom you have begun to fall, you shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him.
14 Anih te a thui uh li vaengah manghai imkhoem rhoek ha pawk uh tih Haman te Esther kah a saii buhkoknah kung la tlek a khuen uh.
And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
