Esther 1
1 And it came to pass after these things in the days of Artaxerxes, —(this Artaxerxes ruled over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces from India)—
Leng Xerxes vaipoh laiya thilsoh ho ahi, amahin India a pat a Ethiopia gam geija gam jakhat le somni le sagi chunga vai anahop ahi.
2 in those days, when king Artaxerxes was on the throne in the city of Susa,
Hiche phatlai chun Xerxes lengpa chu Susa khopia alaltouna a anatouvin lengvai anapo in ahi.
3 in the third year of his reign, he made a feast to his friends, and the other nations, and to the nobles of the Persians and Medes, and the chief of the satraps.
Avaihom na kumthum channa a chun amilen le amilal ho jouse dingle vaihom ho jouse dingin golvah loupitah khat ana bollin ahi. Hichea pang ding hin Persia le Media gamsunga leng hole epia lamkai ho jouse jong akouvin ahi.
4 And after this, after he had shown to them the wealth of his kingdom, and the abundant glory of his wealth during a hundred and eighty days,
Golvah loupitah chu ni jakhat le somget geijin achelhan ahi. Hiche sungchun, agamsung loupina le thaneina, ahaonale aloupina atah langin ahi.
5 when, [I say], the days of the marriage feast were completed, the king made a banquet to the nations who were present in the city six days, in the court of the king's house,
Hicheng chu akichaisoh phat in, lengpan Susa khopi sunga um mi alenpen apat aneopen geidingin golvah khat abolkit in ahi. Hiche chu lengpa khopi honsung tol lhanga chun ni sagi achelha kit in ahi.
6 [which was] adorned with [hangings] of fine linen and flax on cords of fine linen and purple, fastened to golden and silver studs, on pillars of Parian marble and stone: [there were] golden and silver couches on a pavement of emerald stone, and of pearl, and of Parian stone, and open-worked coverings variously flowered, [having] roses worked round about;
Hichea hin len inpi leitol chu pondal pon, ponkang jong, pondum jong tupat ponnem patjang chutoh akijop matsoh keijin, ponsandup chuto jong akijop in, dangka sumkol ho chutoh akijopmat soh keijin, songval khompia kisemma kiphut hoa chun akihenin ahi. Phatah a kijempol kalbi leijong chu sanale dangka kiphan song mantam ton akihallin songval akigollin, twikoh chang le songmantam dang dang tampi toh akihallin ahi.
7 gold and silver cups, and a small cup of carbuncle set out of the value of thirty thousand talents, abundant and sweet wine, which the king himself drank.
Leng in na juchu neng chatna jatchom choma kijem sana khon ho a chu kidon ahin, hichu lengpa ninglhinnale ahongphalna atah langin ahi.
8 And this banquet was not according to the appointed law; but so the king would have it: and he charged the stewards to perform his will and that of the company.
Akhopi sunga vaihom hochun min ama ama ngaichat dungjui cheh a agotchan na adon ding uva ahomdoh diuvin lengpan thupeh aneijin ahi.
9 Also Astin the queen made a banquet for the women in the palace where king Artaxerxes [lived].
Hichetoh kilhon hin lengnu Vashti in jong leng Xerxes khopi sunga numeiho ding in golvah ana bollin ahi.
10 Now on the seventh day the king, being merry, told Aman, and Bazan, and Tharrha, and Barazi, and Zatholtha, and Abataza, and Tharaba, the seven chamberlains, servants of king Artaxerxes,
Hiche golvah ni sagi channa niachun lengpa Xerxes chu ju akhamlheh jengtan ahileh ama jenle’a pang nukiso mi sagiho, Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar chule Carcas chu,
11 to bring in the queen to him, to enthrone her, and crown her with the diadem, and to show her to the princes, and her beauty to the nations: for she was beautiful.
Lengnu Vashti in alallukhuh kikhuh puma lengpa ang sung’a ahung dingin gapuijun tin asoltan ahi. Amanu chu numei hoitah ahijeh chun amilen amilalten amel hoina chu ana vetsoh keidiu chu adei ahi.
12 But queen Astin listened not to him to come with the chamberlains: so the king was grieved and angered.
Ahinlah amahon lengpa thupeh chu lengnu Vashti kom’a aga hetsah phat’un amanu chu ahung nom tapon ahi. Hiche chun lengpa chu alung ahansah lheh jengtan, alunghan akoudoh leuvin ahi.
13 And he said to his friends, Thus have Astin spoken: pronounce therefore upon this [case] law and judgment.
Aman Persia mite danle chena lhongpiho hethem ama thumop apang phattinna ana dohjing saho chu gangtah in adongtan ahi.
14 So Arkesaeus, and Sarsathaeus, and Malisear, the princes of the Persians and Medes, who were near the king, who sat chief [in rank] by the king, drew near to him,
Amaho minchu Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena chule Memucan - Media leh Persia mithupi sagi hochu ahiuve. Amahohi leng gamsunga panmun sangpen loiho chu ahiuvin, lenga toh phat tinna kimuto jing jiuva ahi.
15 and reported to him according to the laws how it was proper to do to queen Astin, because she had not done the things commanded of the king by the chamberlains.
“Lengnu Vashti hi i-loding ham? Lengpa keiman nukisoho kaga kousah a lengpa thupeh palkeh a hung nomlou lengnu chu dan dung jui'a itobang gotna peh dinga lom am?” tin lengpan adongtan ahi.
16 And Muchaeus said to the king and to the princes, Queen Astin has not wronged the king only, but also all the king's rulers and princes:
Memucan chun lengpa leh amithupi hochu hiti hin adonbut’e, “Vashti lengnu hin lengpa keo hilouvin naleng gam pumpi sunga milen milal ho jouse leh gamsunga cheng mipiho jouse hi anoise ahi.
17 for he has told them the words of the queen, and how she disobeyed the king. As then, [said he], she refused [to obey] king Artaxerxes,
Lengnu Vashti hin lengpan akom’a hunghen tia akou in anompoi tihi muntinna numeihon ajah tenguleh ajiteu hi anoise diu ahitai.
18 so this day shall the other ladies of the chiefs of the Persians and Medes, having heard what she said to the king, dare in the same way to dishonor their husbands.
Tunilhum masang ngeihin Persia le Media gamsunga milen milal ho jouse jiten lengnu umchan hi hin jadoh untin ajipa teu hi ahin nahsah loudiu ahitai. Hitia chu lunghan nale thangtom na a hung dimset ding ahi.
19 If then it seem good to the king, let him make a royal decree, and let it be written according to the laws of the Medes and Persians, and let him not alter [it]: and let not the queen come in to him any more; and let the king give her royalty to a woman better than she.
Hijeh chun lengpan na phatsah dinga ahileh Persia le Media gamsunga khelthei lou helding dan khat jihtho inlang phongdoh lechun kadeije. Lengnu Vashti hin lengpa Xerxes hi amai amukit tah louhel dingin a-imatih channa dingin kaidoh in um henlang lengpa dingin nakiloppi tah lengnu chomkhat kilheng doh hen katin,” ahi.
20 And let the law of the king which he shall have made, be widely proclaimed, in his kingdom: and so shall all the women give honor to their husbands, from the poor even to the rich.
“Hiche dan hi lenggam pumpia hi ahung kiphondoh tengleh muntinna mipate hin itobang panmun nei hijongleu aji teuva konna achan diuva lom jana akimudiu ahi,” atipeh tai.
21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did as Muchaeus had said,
Lengpa le amilen amilal hojousen Memucan’s thumop hi pha asasoh kei taovin ahi.
22 and sent into all his kingdom through the several provinces, according to their language, in order that men might be feared in their own houses.
Hiti chun lengpan agamsung pumpi gambih sung jousea ama ama pao le lekhajem a athotdoh in, mipa jousehi ama ama insunga thanei vaihom hiding chule athu thua hiding ahi tin aphongdoh tan ahi.
