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, the king couldn't sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to 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.
It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Achashyerosh.
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.
The king said, "What honor and dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been 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.
The king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king's house, to speak to the king about hanging 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.
The king's servants said to him, "Look, Haman stands in the court." 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. The king said to him, "What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman said in his heart, "Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?"
7 Te dongah Haman loh manghai taengah, “Manghai loh amah kah umponah dongah khueh a ngaih hlang te,
Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,
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 royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a crown royal is set.
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 the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble officials, and let him clothe the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, 'Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.'"
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, "Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who 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 Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor."
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.
Mordecai came back to the King's Gate, but Haman hurried 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.
Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will 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.
While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
