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,
Menm jou lannwit sa a, wa a pa t' ka dòmi. Li fè yo pote achiv gouvènman kote yo te ekri tou sa ki te pase nan peyi a nan tan lontan. Li fè yo li ladan l' pou li.
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.
Nan sa yo li a, te gen yon pòsyon kote yo te rakonte ki jan Madoche te dekouvri konplo de nan domestik konfyans wa a, Bigtan ak Tèrèch, ki t'ap fè pòs devan chanm wa a, te moute pou yo ansasinen wa a.
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.”
Wa a mande: -Kisa yo te fè pou Madoche lè sa a? Kisa yo te ba li pou sa? Mesye ki te la ap sèvi wa a reponn: -Yo pa t' fè anyen pou li non.
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.
Wa a mande: -Kilès nan chèf yo ki nan lakou palè a? Lè sa a, Aman te fèk antre nan lakou palè a. Li te vin mande wa a pou l' te fè pann Madoche nan poto li te pare a.
5 The servants answered, “Haman is standing in the atrium.” And the king said, “Let him enter.”
Mesye yo reponn: -Aman la a wi! L'ap espere ou nan lakou a. Wa a di: -Fè l' antre!
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,
Lè Aman antre, wa a di l' konsa: -Ki pi bèl bagay m' ta fè pou yon moun mwen ta renmen remèsye pou sèvis li rann mwen. Aman di nan kè l': Pa gen lòt moun wa a ta renmen remèsye pase mwen menm!
7 answered, “The man whom the king wishes to honor,
Epi li di wa a: -Yon moun ou ta renmen remèsye pou sèvis li rann ou!
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.
Enben! Fè yo pran yonn nan bèl rad ou konn mete sou ou yo pote l' bay moun sa a. Pran chwal ou konn moute a ak tout kouwòn lan sou tèt li.
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.’”
Chwazi yonn nan pi gwo chèf ou yo, fè l' al abiye moun sa a ak rad wa a. Lèfini, l'a fè l' moute sou chwal la. Epi, l'a pwonmennen l' nan tout lavil la sou plas piblik la. Pandan y'ap mache konsa, chèf la va di byen fò: Men ki jan wa a remèsye moun pou sèvis yo rann li.
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.”
Lè sa a, wa a di Aman: -Kouri al chache rad la ak chwal la. Epi w'a fè tou sa ou di la a pou Madoche, nonm jwif la. w'a jwenn li chita bò pòtay palè a. Pa bliye anyen nan sa ou te di fè a.
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.”
Aman pran rad la ak chwal la, li mete rad la sou Madoche. Li fè Madoche moute sou chwal la. Epi, Aman pwonmennen l' sou plas piblik la. Pandan y'ap mache konsa, li t'ap di byen fò pou tout moun tande: Men ki jan wa a remèsye moun pou sèvis yo rann li.
12 And Mordecai returned to the palace door. And Haman hurried to go to his house, mourning and hiding his head.
Apre sa, Madoche tounen tounen l' bò pòtay palè wa a. Aman menm kouri al lakay li, li bouche figi l' sitèlman li te wont.
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.”
Li rakonte madanm li ak tout zanmi l' yo tou sa ki te rive l'. Lèfini, Zerès, madanm li, ak zanmi l' yo ki te gen bon konprann di l' konsa: -Si Madoche se yon jwif vre, koulye a ou p'ap ka fè l' anyen. Ou konmanse pèdi pye devan l'. Ou mèt sèten se li k'ap kraze ou.
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.
Zanmi l' yo t'ap pale toujou, lè domestik konfyans wa yo rive vin chache Aman pou l' ale touswit nan fèt Estè te pare a.
