< Esther 6 >

1 Hiche janchun lengpa chu a-ihmu theipon, hijeh chun avaihomna sunga thilsoh kijehlut thusimbu chu ahinchoi uva akom’a asimdoh diuvin alhacha hokhat thupeh aneitan ahi.
That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
2 Hiche thilsoh kijihlut na achun lengpa achang’a aumna leng indan’a kot ngah nukiso teni Bigthan le Teresh teni tohgon Mordecai jin ana matdoh na kijihlut chu amudoh tan ahi. Amani chun leng Xerxes chu anatha got lhon ahi.
And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 “Mordecai hi athilpha bol jeh a kipaman ahilouleh hetpehna ipi kibolpeh am?” tin lengpan adongin ahileh alhachapan adonbut in “Imacha akibolpeh poi,” ati.
The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
4 “Polang leitola umkhu koiham?” tin lengpan adongin ahi. Hiche aseipet tah chun Haman khopi polam leitol ahung lhung chet in, lengpa kom’a Mordecai chu atundohsa thinglhon chung’a khailih ding phalna thum'a ahung pet tah chu ahi.
“Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
5 Lhachapa chun lengpa chu anadonbut in ahi, “Hamanhi leitol ah kimu pi ding in na ngah e” ati. Lengpan “hinpuilut in” tin thupeh anei tan ahi.
So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
6 Hiti chun Haman ahunglut in ahileh lengpan aseitai, “Keima eikipasah tahbeh michu itobang jana kapeh ding ham?” ati. Haman amale ama akigellin, “Lengpan jana apehding michu keitailou koidang hiding ham?” tin aki nemlheh in ahi.
Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”
7 Hijeh chun aman hitin adonbut in, “Lengpan mikhattou jana apeh nomma ahileh,
And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
8 Aleng oupe von chu ahin lahdoh ding, lengpa amatah touna sakol aluchanga lengte loupina jem ki-beh ding,
have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head.
9 Hiche lengte von loupitah chuleh sakol chu lengpa noija vaihom mithupi holah a khatpen khutna pehlut ding ahi. Chuleh lengpan ajabol ding mipa chun lengpa von loupi chu akivon ding lengpa sakol a chu touva khopi sunga chu kaileding ahi. Hiche vaihompa chun ache puma asapding “Lengpan ajabol nompa chu hitiahi kibolding ahi!” tia aseiding ahi,” ati.
Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’”
10 Lengpan Haman kom’a chun “Apha behseh jenge, gangtah in pon oupe chu choijin lang chule kasakol chu kaijin lang tua nasei tobang bang chun hiche khopi kelkot kom’a tou Mordecai kiti Judate pakhu hiti chun gaboltan. Tua nasei hochu halkhat cha alhinglal umsah hih hellin!” ati.
“Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”
11 Hiti chun Haman in ponloupi chu achoijin Mordecai asilpeh in, lengpa sakol a chun atousah in, khopi leitol lachun akailen “Lengpan ajabolnom michu hitia hi kibolding ahi” tin asammin ahi.
So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!”
12 Hiche jouchun Mordecai chu khopi kelkouna chun akile kit in, Haman vangchu kisuhnemna noinung pen’in akisunemmin jumthet in a-in na akile kittai.
Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief.
13 Haman in thilsoh hochu ajinule aloi agolho aseipeh phat in ama thumop a pang miching hole ajinu chun asei tai, “Tunia najumso pa Mordecai hi pen danna Judate ahijeh'in amadouna natoh gonhi lolhing joupon nate. Ama nakidoupi jomleh nathilo ding ahibouve” atipeh taove.
Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will fall before him.”
14 Amaho hitiahi akihoupet’un lengpa dinga nukiso ho ahunglhung un gangtah in Haman chu Esther golvah ankonga dingin ahung pui tauve.
While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
