< Esther 6 >

1 The king passed that night without sleep, and so he ordered the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought to him. And when they were reading them before him,
Hote tangmin vah siangpahrang teh ip thai hoeh. Siangpahrang setouknae cungpam cauk thokhai hanlah tami buet touh kâ a poe teh siangpahrang hmalah a touk.
2 they came to that place where it had been written, how Mordecai had reported the treachery of Bigthan and Teresh the eunuchs, who desired to cut the throat of king Artaxerxes.
siangpahrang im ka ring e tuenla Bigthana hoi Teresh ni siangpahrang Ahasuerus thei hanlah a kâcai roinae hoi Mordekai ni a panue e kong hah a hmu.
3 When the king had heard this, he said, “What honor and reward has Mordecai been given for this fidelity?” His servants and ministers said to him, “He has received no compensation at all.”
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni, Hote hno kecu dawk Mordekai ni bangpatet e barinae maw a hmu toung, telah a pacei. Siangpahrang e thaw ka tawk naw ni, Banghai sak pouh hoeh rah, telah atipouh awh.
4 And immediately the king said, “Who is in the atrium?” For, you see, Haman was entering the inner atrium of the king’s house to suggest to the king that he should order Mordecai to be hanged on the gallows, which had been prepared for him.
Siangpahrang ni, Thongma e kaawm e apimaw telah a pacei. Hatnae tueng navah Haman teh kaithi sak hanelah a sak e dawk Mordekai hah kaithi sak nahane kong dei hanlah siangpahrang thongma alawilah vah a kâen lahun.
5 The servants answered, “Haman is standing in the atrium.” And the king said, “Let him enter.”
Siangpahrang e sannaw ni ahni koevah, Khenhaw thongma ka kangdout e teh Haman doeh, telah atipouh. Hahoi, siangpahrang ni, kâen naseh, telah atipouh.
6 And when he had entered, he said to him, “What ought to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” But Haman, thinking in his heart and supposing that the king would honor no one else but himself,
Hatdawkvah, Haman teh a kâen teh siangpahrang ni ahni koevah, siangpahrang ni bari poe han a ngai e tami hah bangtelah sak pawiteh maw ahawi han vai, telah atipouh. Haman ni, Siangpahrang ni bari poe han a ngai e tami teh kai hloilah ao han rah maw, telah a lungthung hoi a pouk.
7 answered, “The man whom the king wishes to honor,
Haman ni siangpahrang koevah, Siangpahrang ni bari a poe han a ngai e tami teh,
8 ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and be set upon the horse that the king rides, and receive the royal crown upon his head.
Siangpahrang ni ouk a kho e angki hoi siangpahrang ni ouk a kâcuie marang hoi siangpahrang lukhung, siangpahrang ni ouk a kâmuk e hah la pouh lah awm naseh.
9 And let the first of the king’s rulers and sovereigns hold his horse, and, as they advance through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say, ‘Thus shall he be honored, whom the king decides to honor.’”
Hote khohna hoi marang hah ka talue e siangpahrang e kut rahim thaw ka tawk e buet touh koe a poe hnukkhu, siangpahrang ni a tawm han a ngai e tami hah hote khohna hoi a pathoup teh, marang a kâcui sak teh, kho thung lam dawk hrawi vaiteh, siangpahrang ni a tawm han a ngai e tami koe hettelah sak e lah ao ti hoi ahnie hma lah oung awh naseh telah siangpahrang koe bout atipouh.
10 And the king said to him, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, and do as you have said to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in front of the gate of the palace. Be careful not to omit any of those things which you have mentioned.”
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni Haman koevah, Na dei e patetlah siangpahrang e hni hoi marang lat nateh, siangpahrang e im longkha koe ka tahung e, Judah tami Mordekai koevah sak haw, na dei e patetlah buet touh boehai pâhma hanh, telah atipouh.
11 And so Haman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mordecai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, he went before him and cried out, “He is worthy of this honor, whom the king has decided to honor.”
Hat toteh, Haman ni siangpahrang e khohna hoi marang hah a la teh Mordekai a kâcui sak teh, khopui lam dawk a hrawi teh, Siangpahrang ni bari poe hanelah a ngai e tami teh hettelah sak lah ao, telah pou a pathang.
12 And Mordecai returned to the palace door. And Haman hurried to go to his house, mourning and hiding his head.
Hathnukkhu, Mordekai teh siangpahrang e longkha koevah bout a ban. Haman teh minhmai puenghoi mathoe lahoi a lûsaling teh a im lah karanglah a ban.
13 And he explained to Zeresh his wife and to his friends all that had happened to him. And the wise men, whom he held in counsel, and his wife, answered him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is from the offspring of the Jews, you will not be able to withstand him, but you will fall in his sight.”
Hahoi, Haman ni a yu Zeresh hoi a hui naw pueng koe a lathueng ka phat e hnonaw pueng a dei pouh. Hatdawkvah, a tami lung ka-ang naw hoi a yu Zeresh ni ahni koevah, Na Kâhmo payon, Mordekai teh Judah tami lah awm pawiteh na khang thai mahoeh, a hmalah na sung roeroe han, telah atipouh.
14 As they were still speaking, the king’s eunuchs arrived and compelled him to go quickly to the feast, which the queen had prepared.
Hottelah, ahni koe a dei pouh awh navah, tuenlanaw a tho teh, ahnimouh ni, Esta ni sut lawng e buvennae koe Haman teh karanglah a ceikhai awh.
