< Esther 9 >

1 Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree came near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it turned out that the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),
Hiti chun alha Lhakao nisagi nichun lengpa dan thusoh teni chu ahung chelha paitan ahi. Hiche nikho chun, Judate kidoupiho chun amaho chu matchom jengding anagot u ahin, ahinla akaleh lang tah in asohtan ahi. Judate ho johchun agalmi houchu ajolo taovin ahi.
2 the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the people.
Judate techu amaho khopi holeh gambih ho jousea pumkhat in dding khom un ahin nokhum hou chu asat chap jeng’un ahi. Koimachan amaho chu akimaito ngam tapouvin ahi, ajehchu mijousen amahochu aging taovin ahi.
3 All the princes of the provinces, the local governors, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
Gambih a milen milal ho ahin, vaihom lenpenho ahiuvin, gamvaipoh ahiuvin chuleh lengpa vaihom ho ahiuvin Mordecai akichat jeh un abonun Judate te akithopi gamtaove.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.
Ajehchu lengpa khopia chun Mordecai chu sangtah'a atunlet ahitan, Gambih jousea jong aminthang cheh cheh jengin chuleh athahat cheh cheh jeng tan ahi.
5 The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who hated them.
Hijeh chun Judate chu anikho kitep nikhon agal miteu chu chemjam in asat chap jengun ahi. Amahon agal miteu athat’un asumang gamji taovin amaho hin vetdaho jouse chu anop nop in aboljeng jiuvin ahi.
6 In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
Susa khopi sung seh seh a jong Judate ten mi ja-nga athat un ahi.
7 They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Amahon Parshandatha, Dalphon leh Aspatha athatnun,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
Chuleh Poratha, Adalia le Aridatha athatnun,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
Parmashta toh Arisai, Aridai le Vaizatha athatnun,
10 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
Judate galmi, Hammedatha chapa Haman chate som jong chu athatdoh taovin ahi. Ahinla athil alo hou achom pou’ve.
11 On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Susa was brought before the king.
Hiche nikho tah chun Susa khopia athajat nuchu lengpa kom’a ahetsah taovin,
12 The king said to Esther the queen, “The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done.”
Hiche jouhin lengpan lengnu Esther akouvin ajah a, “Judate ten hiche Susa khopi seh seh a jong mi 500 athat un chule Haman chate som jong athat taove. Amahon hilaitah a bon chujat atha uleh gambih dangho a ijat athat tadiuvem? Tuahi ipi nadeibe nahlai ham? Nakibolpeh ding ahi, seijin ipi thumbe ding nanei nah lai’em? Nathum chan chu kibolpeh nalai ding ahi,” ati.
13 Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”
Esther in adonbut in, “Lengpa nalung lhaina ahiding leh Judate techu Susa khopia tunia abol tobang un jing jongle bolsah kit’in lang chuleh Haman chate 10 chu mol lhon chunga kikhai sanghen,” ati.
14 The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Susa; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
Hiti chun lengpan anoppeh tan Susa khopi sunga hiche dan chu akiphong doh in chuleh Haman chate thilong o mho chu mol-lhon chunga chun akhaisang taove.
15 The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Susa; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
Hichun Susa khopi a Judate hochu pumkhat’in dding khom’un alha Lhakao ni get nin mi jathum athat be kitnun athillu vang achom pouve.
16 The other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
Hiti chun lengpa gamkai jousea Judate chu amaho kihuhna dingin dding khom un ahi. Avetda’uva pang mihem sang som sagi le sang nga athat gam’un, agalmi teuva kon in a-ongthol taove. Ahinla amahon athil le lo imacha akichom pouve.
17 This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Hiche thilsoh ho chu Adar lha nisomle nithum nia thilsoh ahi, ajing nikho nimsom le nili nin akicholdo uvin agaljo nao chu kipahtah in golvah abollun alopna aneijun ahi.
18 But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Susa a Judate hon agalmite nisom le thum, nisom le nili geiya mi athauva chule nisom le ni nga ni akicholdo un kipana golvah anabollun ahi.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a holiday, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.
Hijeh chun, tuni changei’in thinglhanga um Judate kho gamla a umhon hiche nikholeh, phalbi kichai kon lamleh kumlhun golvah abollun akipah khomun nehle chah thilpeh ho akithot to jiuvin ahi.
20 Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
Mordecai in hiche thilsoh hohi ajih lut’in Xerxes gamsung jousea anai ahin agamla a um ahin Judate hohi lekha anathot jin ahi.
21 to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,
Hiche nini sung hi kumseh a golvah abolji diuvin ana sei peh tan ahi.
22 as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.
Ama hiche nikho sunga hi kipana golvah bolding leh nehle chah kipehto a, gentheite manbeiya pehding in ana seipeh in ahi. Hiche hin Judate agalmi teuva konna kipana amunao, alunggim naova konna thanopna amunao ageldoh jing nadiu ahi.
23 The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them,
Hiti chun Judaten Mordecai thilgon hohi anop peh un, hiche hi kumseh in achepi tauvin ahi.
24 because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast “Pur”, that is the lot, to consume them and to destroy them;
Judate galmi Agagi mi Hammedatha chapa Haman chun Judate tehi suhmang helna dinga nikhokhat lhendohna dinga vangvetna ananei ahi. (Hiche avangvetna chu Purim akiti)
25 but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plan, which he had planned against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
Ahinlah lengnu Estherhi lengpa anga ahunglut phat in, aman dan chomkhat ahin sem’in hichun Haman tohgon phaloutah chu amachunga achuhlo tan ahi. Haman le achate chu mol lhon hemjet chunga akhailih ataove.
26 Therefore they called these days “Purim”, from the word “Pur.” Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to them,
Hijeh’a chu hiche golnop nahi Purim kiti ahi, ajehchu hiche hi gollui paova vangvetna ktina ahi. Amaho tah in anathoh khahsao ahijeh leh Mordecai in anajihlut ahijeh'in ahin chepi taove.
27 the Jews established and imposed on themselves, on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail that they would keep these two days according to what was written and according to its appointed time every year;
Gamjousea Judate ten hiche chon nahi chepi dingin anom’un chuleh achilhahte jousen jong ajui diuvin ana kilol’un ahi. Amahon hiche nikho teni hi kumseh leh akitepna nikho ahi alopna neijing dingin ana phongdoh un ahi.
28 and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor their memory perish from their offspring.
Hiche nikho ho chu lenggam sunga khopi hole gambih ho jousea insung jousen akhang akhanga ageldoh jinguva anit jing diu ahi. Hiche Purim golvah ankong hi Judate lah a itih hijongleh mangthah louva anit jing ding chuleh ipi thil anasoh ham tihi akhang akhanga mansah louhel ding ahi.
29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
Abihail chanu lengnu Esther le Judate mi Mordecai in lekha khat anajih lhonin, masangjep a Mordecai in ana sutsa Purim kiman di thudol se se chu, lengnun thanei tah namdetna anei tan ahi.
30 He sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus with words of peace and truth,
Hiche lekha chu Judate jouse anathot un chule Xerxes lenggam a gambih jakhat le somni le sagi sungah ana thot soh hel un ahi. Lekhathot a chu Judate lah a chamna le lungmon na leng hen akitin ahi.
31 to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants in the matter of the fastings and their mourning.
Judate mi Mordecai leh lengnu Esther in dan a anatundoh lhon Purim golvah hi anikho kipeh dungjuija kumseh a nit dinga ana kiphutdoh ahi. (Mipite hin amaho dingleh achilhah ho diuva anngol naleh lunghemna anathoh khom banguva hiche Purim golvah jonghi ana tundoh u ahi).
32 The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Hitia hi Purim chon nahi Esther thupeh in namdetna anei hetjing dingin lekhajol khat’a kijih lut tai.
