Esther 8

1 Hicheni mama chun Xerxes lengpan Judate galmi Haman thil leh lo ho jouse chu lengnu Esther apedoh tai. Hichejou chun Esther in Mordecai chu insungmi ahi lengpa kom’ah aseidoh tan ahileh Mordecai chu lengpa kom’a ahin puilut taovin ahi.

And in that day king Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochæus was called by the king; for Esther had shewn that he was related to her.

2 Lengpan Haman’a konna ana nung lahdoh asoi namna khutjem chu aladoh in Mordecai chu apetai. Hiti chun Esther chun Mordecai chu Haman thil le lo chunga vaihom in ana pansah tan ahi.

And the king took the ring which he had taken away from Aman, and gave it to Mardochæus: and Esther appointed Mardochæus over all that had been Aman’s.

3 Hijou chun Esther chu lengpa kom’a ache kit'in akeng khopi muh a abohkhup in Agag mi Haman in Judate te douna thil giloutah ana gon chu suh-tangna dingin mitlhi pumin anataovin ahi.

And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and besought [him] to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.

4 Avellin lengpan Esther dingin asana tengol chu ahin lhungdoh in hiti chun ama athoudoh in a-angsung’ah adingtai.

Then the king stretched out to Esther the golden sceptre: and Esther arose to stand near the king.

5 Esther in ajah a, “Lengpa nalunglhai dinga chuleh khotona kamu theiding ahija chujongle nalung lhaina kachanthei dinga ahile Agag mipa Haman thupeh hohi suhbei na dingin dan khat semdoh le chun kati, ajehchu aman lengpa gambih jousea cheng Judate ho jouse suh gamna dinga thupeh ananei ahi,” ati.

And Esther said, If it seem good to thee, and I have found favour [in thy sight], let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in thy kingdom.

6 Ajehchu kamipite le kainsung mite akitha gamma akisuhmang ding ken iti kathoh dingham?”

For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my kindred?

7 Hichun Xerxes lengpan lengnu Esther le Judate mi Mordecai kom’ah, “Keima Haman thilkeo jouse Esther kape tan chuleh aman Judate te suhmang ding agot jeh in thinglhon chunga amajoh akikhailih tan,

And the king said to Esther, If I have given and freely granted thee all that was Aman’s, and hanged him on a gallows, because he laid his hands upon the Jews, what dost thou yet further seek?

8 Tun lengpa min’in Judate techu nadei dandan’in thuthot tan chuleh lengpa khutjem chun mohor namkhum tan. Chule lengpa minna khatvei mohor kinamsa chu kinung lahdoh kit theitalou ding ahi, ti melchih lhon in, atipeh tai.

Write ye also in my name, as it seems good to you, and seal [it] with my ring: for whatever [orders] are written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not lawful to gainsay them.

9 Hiti chun lhathum lhinna, Sivan lha, nisom ni le nithum nichun, Mordecai in lengpa lekha jeh a pangho chu akikou khomin chuleh Mordecai jin jih in ati dungjui chun ajih taovin ahi. Hiche chu Judate ho komlah vaihom ho jouse kom, gamvaipo ho kom, gambih jakhat le somni le sagi, India a patna Ehopia changeijin milen milal ho jouse kom’ah akithot dohtan ahi. Hiche dan chu lenggam sunga mipite Judate op um'in ama ama paole ama lekhajem cheh in akisunin ahi.

So the scribes were called in the first month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same year; and [orders] were written to the Jews, whatever [the king had] commanded to the local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the several provinces, according to their dialects.

10 Hiche dan chu Xerxes lengpa minna kisun ahin, akhut jemma mohor kinamkhum ah ahi. Mordecai in hiche thuhi gangtah a homdoh dingin lengpa kin’a kimang sakol lhaihat cheh chu asoldoh in ahi.

And they were written by order of the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the posts:

11 Hiche leng thupeh hin khopi tinna um Judate hochu kipun khomna kihuhdohna anei thei diu ahi. Koi nammi hihenlang hoilai gambih a konna hijohgleh aji achateo leh amaho hindel buluho jouse chu athaova, asuhmang diu chuleh asuhgamhel theidiu chuleh agalmi hou thilkeo akichom theidiu ahi.

wherein he charged them to use their [own] laws in every city, and to help each other, and to treat their adversaries, and those who attacked them, as they pleased,

12 Xerxes lenggam jousea hitobang tohna dinga nikho kilhengdoh chu Lhakao nisagi ni kumkit hiding ahi.

on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is Adar.

13 Hiche dan kisodoh hi gambih jousea juiding dan hiding mipiah jousea phondoh ding, hitia chu Judate ten hiche nikho ahi agalmihou chunga phu alah thei nadiu ahi.

And let the copies be posted in conspicuous places throughout the kingdom, and let all the Jews be ready against this day, to fight against their enemies.

14 Hichehin leng thupeh chun akinotah ahijeh'in, thuhomjal leho chun lengpa kin’a manchah dinga kikoi Sakol hatcheh aman uva gangtah a ahopdoh diu ahi. Hiche dan Susa khopi sunga jong akiphong doh tan ahi.

So the horsemen went forth with haste to perform the king’s commands; and the ordinance was also published in Susa.

15 Hiche jouchun Mordecai chun lengpon oupe aduple akang akisil’in, sana lallukhuh akikhuh in, tupat ponnem le pondup akisil’in lengpa a kon in ahung potdoh'in ahileh khopi sunga mipi chu akipah in othong je-jun asam sam jengun ahi.

And Mardochæus went forth robed in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine purple linen: and the people in Susa saw [it] and rejoiced.

16 Judate techu kipanale thanopnan adimun chene chan uva miho jana aching un ahi.

And the Jews had light and gladness,

17 Gambih tinle khopia, lengpa dan lhunna channah Judate te akipah un alopna aneijun anikho nitdingleh mipin golvah neikhom dingin aphongdoh un ahi. Gamsunga mipi lah achun Judate chu ahung pungjal jengun ahi ajeh chu Judate hochun eibolse get unte tia akichat’u ahitai.

in every city and province wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.
