Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman went to eat the second banquet/feast that Queen Esther had prepared.
Manghai neh Haman te manghainu Esther neh ok hamla cet.
2 As they were drinking wine, the king asked again, “Esther, what do you want me to do [for you? Tell me, and] I will do it for you. Even if [you ask me for] half of my kingdom, I will give it to you.”
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.
3 Esther replied, “O king, if you are pleased with me, and if you are willing to do [what I ask], save me, and save my people. That is what I want you to do for me.
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.
4 [It is as though] I and my people [are cattle that] have been sold to be slaughtered. [It is as though] we have been sold to people who want to completely destroy us. If we had only been sold to people to become their male and female slaves, I would not say anything, because that would have been a matter too small to bother you, the king.”
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.
5 Then King Xerxes asked her, “Who would want to do such a [terrible] thing? Where is he?”
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.
6 Esther replied, “[The man who is] our enemy is this evil man Haman!” Then Haman was terrified as he stood in front of the king and queen.
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.
7 The king became extremely angry. He immediately left his wine and got up and went outside into the palace garden [to decide what to do]. But Haman stayed, in order to plead with Queen Esther that she would spare his life.
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.
8 He threw himself down on the couch where Esther was reclining. But at that moment the king returned from the garden to the room where they had been eating. [He saw Haman, and assumed he was preparing to rape Esther]. He exclaimed, “Are you going to rape the queen while she is here with me in my own palace?” As soon as the king said that, some officials covered Haman’s head, [as they did to people who were about to be hanged].
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.
9 Then Harbona, one of the king’s personal officials, said, “[Outside, ] near Haman’s house, there is a (gallows/set of poles for hanging someone). It is 75 feet high. Haman made it for Mordecai, the man who spared your life!” The king said, “Hang him on it!”
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.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for hanging Mordecai! And then (the king’s anger cooled off/the king was no longer so angry).
Mordekai ham a tawn pah thing dongah Haman te a kuiok sak uh van daengah ni manghai kah kosi khaw a daeh pueng.
