< Esther 7 >

1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Manghai neh Haman te manghainu Esther neh ok hamla cet.
2 And the king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
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 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it shall please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
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 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not compensate for the king’s loss.
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 the king Ahasuerus answered and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that dared presume in his heart to do so?
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 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the 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 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
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 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen upon the couch on which Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
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 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then 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 Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
Mordekai ham a tawn pah thing dongah Haman te a kuiok sak uh van daengah ni manghai kah kosi khaw a daeh pueng.
