< Esther 7 >

1 Manghai neh Haman te manghainu Esther neh ok hamla cet.
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 Buhkoknah a hnin bae dongkah misurtui a ok bal vaengah tah manghai loh Esther te, “Manghainu Esther nang kah huithuinah te menim? Nang ham mpaek bitni. Na kueknah te ram rhakthuem hil pataeng han suem bitni,” a ti nah.
The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, "What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed."
3 Esther manghainu loh a doo tih, “Manghai nang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka hmuh atah, manghai ham a then mak atah ka huithuinah bangla, ka kueknah bangla, kamah neh ka pilnam kah hinglu ham kai taengah bet n'rhen mai.
Then Esther the queen answered, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.
4 Kamah khaw, ka pilnam khaw, mitmoeng sak ham neh ngawn ham khaw, milh sak ham n'yoih uh coeng. Salnu, salpa bangla n'yoih uh. Manghai kah pocinah ham rhal neh a tluk pawt dongah hil ka phah,” a ti nah.
For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondservants and bondmaids, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king's loss."
5 Manghai Ahasuerus te cal tih Esther manghainu taengah, “Anih te unim? Anih te melae? Te bang te saii ham a lungbuei aka hah te unim?” a ti nah.
Then King Achashyerosh said to Esther the queen, "Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?"
6 Te vaengah Esther loh, “Tekah hlang tah rhal neh thunkha boethae Haman ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Haman tah manghai neh manghainu mikhmuh ah let coeng.
Esther said, "An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman." Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 Manghai khaw buhkoknah misurtui kung lamloh a kosi neh thoo tih impuei dum la cet. Tedae Haman tah boethae loh manghai taeng lamkah amah a khah te a hmuh dongah a hinglu kongah manghainu Esther te hloep ham pai pueng.
The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 Te phoeiah manghai te impuei dum lamloh buhkoknah im kah misurtui kung la mael. Te vaengah Haman te Esther kah a thingkong soah ana bakop pah. Te dongah manghai loh, “Im khui kah kamah taeng nawn ah manghainu te na khoh ham bal a?” a ti nah. Manghai ka lamloh ol a thoeng neh Haman maelhmai khaw a thing uh coeng.
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?" As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
9 Te vaengah imkhoem rhoek khui lamkah pakhat Harbona loh manghai mikhmuh ah, “Haman loh Mordekai ham thing a saii coeng ke. Te te Haman im ah dong sawmnga a sang la pai tih manghai ham tah hnothen la a thui,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai loh, “Te dongah te amah kuiok sak,” a ti nah.
Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king said, "Look, the gallows seventy-three feet eight inches high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman's house." The king said, "Hang him on it."
10 Mordekai ham a tawn pah thing dongah Haman te a kuiok sak uh van daengah ni manghai kah kosi khaw a daeh pueng.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
