< 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.
But the Lord removed sleep from the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the books, the registers of daily events, to 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 he found the records written concerning Mardochaeus, how he had told the king concerning the two chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes.
3 “Mordecai hi athilpha bol jeh a kipaman ahilouleh hetpehna ipi kibolpeh am?” tin lengpan adongin ahileh alhachapan adonbut in “Imacha akibolpeh poi,” ati.
And the king said, What honour or favour have we done to Mardochaeus? And the king's servants said, You have not done anything to him.
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.
And while the king was enquiring about the kindness of Mardochaeus, behold, Aman [was] in the court. And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Aman was come in to speak to the king, that he should hang Mardochaeus on the gallows, which he had prepared.
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.
And the king's servants said, Behold, Aman stands in the court. And the king said, Call him.
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.
And the king said to Aman, What shall I do to the man whom I wish to honour? And Aman said within himself, Whom would the king honour but myself?
7 Hijeh chun aman hitin adonbut in, “Lengpan mikhattou jana apeh nomma ahileh,
and he said to the king, As for the man whom the king wishes to honour,
8 Aleng oupe von chu ahin lahdoh ding, lengpa amatah touna sakol aluchanga lengte loupina jem ki-beh ding,
let the king's servants bring the robe of fine linen which the king puts on, and the horse on which the king rides,
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.
and let him give [it] to one of the king's noble friends, and let him array the man whom the king loves; and let him mount him on the horse, and proclaim through the street of the city, saying, Thus shall it be [done] to every man whom the king honours.
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.
Then the king said to Aman, You have well said: so do to Mardochaeus the Jew, who waits in the palace, and let not a word of what you have spoken be neglected.
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 Aman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mardochaeus, and mounted him on the horse, and went through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be to every man whom the king wishes to honour.
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.
And Mardochaeus returned to the palace: but Aman went home mourning, and having his head covered.
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.
And Aman related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to [his] friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, If Mardochaeus [be] of the race of the Jews, [and] you have begun to be humbled before him, you will assuredly fall, and you will not be able to withstand him, for the living God [is] with 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 yet speaking, the chamberlains arrived, to hasten Aman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.
