Esther 2
1 Therfor whanne these thingis weren doon, aftir that the indignacioun of kyng Assuerus was coold, he bithouyte of Vasthi, and what thingis sche hadde do, ethir what thingis sche suffride.
Apre sa, lè kolè wa a fin pase, lide wa a te toujou sou sa Vachti te fè a ak sou desizyon li menm li te pran lè sa a.
2 And the children and the mynystris of the kyng seiden to `the kyng, Damyselis, virgyns `and faire, be souyt to the kyng; and `men ben sent,
Se konsa, nan moun ki toujou avèk wa a, gen ladan yo ki di l': -Poukisa ou pa mete moun chache pou ou kèk bèl ti jenn fi ki tifi toujou?
3 that schulen biholde bi alle prouinces damesels faire and virgyns; and brynge thei hem to the citee Susa, and bitake thei in to the hows of wymmen, vndur the hond of Egei, the onest seruaunt and chast, which is the souereyn and kepere of the kyngis wymmen; and take the damesels ournement of wymmen, and other thingis nedeful to vsis.
Nan tout pwovens peyi ou la, wa chwazi kèk enspekte ki va chache dènye bèl ti jenn fi ki poko nan gason. Y'a mennen yo nan kay madanm ou yo, isit la, lavil Souz, kapital la. Wa mete yo sou kont Egayi, domestik konfyans ou ki reskonsab madanm ou yo, pou li ba yo tou sa yo bezwen pou fè kò yo bèl.
4 And which euer damesele among alle plesith the iyen of the kyng, regne sche for Vasti. The word pleside the kyng; and he comaundide to be don so, as thei counceliden.
Lèfini, jenn fi ki va fè ou plezi plis la wa mete l' larenn nan plas Vachti a. Wa a wè se te yon bon lide, li fè sa konsa vre.
5 Forsothe a man, a Jew, was in the citee Susa, Mardoche bi name, the sone of Jair, sone of Semei, sone of Cys, of the generacioun of Gemyny;
Lè sa a, nan lavil Souz, kapital peyi a, te gen yon jwif ki te rele Madoche. Se te pitit Jayi, nan branch fanmi Benjamen. Li te soti nan fanmi Kich ak Chimeyi.
6 that was translatid fro Jerusalem in that tyme, wherynne Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, hadde translatid Jechonye, kyng of Juda;
Lè Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn lan, te pran Jekonya, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak lòt prizonye yo nan lavil Jerizalèm pou l' te depòte yo, Madoche te ladan l' tou.
7 which Mardoche was the nurschere of Edissa, the douyter of his brothir, which douytir was clepid Hester bi anothir name, and sche hadde lost bothe fadir and modir; sche was ful fair, and semeli of face; and whanne hir fadir and modir weren deed, Mardoche `purchaside hir in to a douytir to hymsilf.
Li te gen yon ti kouzin li ki te rele Estè. Men bon non jwif li se te Adasa. Se te yon bèl fi anfòm. Lè papa l' ak manman l' mouri, Madoche te pran l' lakay li, li leve l' tankou pwòp pitit fi li.
8 And whanne the comaundement of the kyng was ofte pupplischid, and bi his comaundement many faire virgyns weren brouyt to Susa, and weren bitakun to Egey, the onest seruaunt and chast, also Hester among othere damesels was bytakun to hym, that sche schulde be kept in the noumbre of wymmen.
Apre yo te fin pibliye lòd wa a, yo mache chache anpil jenn fi, yo mennen yo lakay wa a lavil Souz, kapital la. Estè te ladan yo tou. Se konsa li te lakay wa a, sou kont Egayi ki te reskonsab tout madanm wa yo.
9 And sche pleside hym, and foond grace in his siyt, that he hastide the ournement of wymmen, and bitook to hir her partis, and seuene the faireste damesels of the kyngis hows; and he ournede and araiede bothe hir and damesels suynge hir feet.
Estè te fè Egayi plezi anpil. San l' te ale avè l'. Li pa pèdi tan li, li ba li tou sa li te bezwen pou fè kò l' bèl ak manje ki bon pou li. Li chwazi sèt bòn lakay wa a, li bay Estè pou sèvis pa l', epi li mete l' nan pi bon apatman ki te genyen nan kay madanm wa yo.
10 And `sche nolde schewe to hym hir puple and hir cuntrei; for Mardoche hadde comaundid to hir, that in al maner sche schulde be stille of this thing.
Estè pa t' kite pèsonn konnen moun ki peyi ak ki ras li te ye, paske Madoche te ba li lòd pou l' pa t' di anyen sou sa.
11 And he walkide ech dai bifor the porche of the dore, in which the chosun virgyns weren kept, and he dide the cure of the helthe of Hester, and wolde wite, what bifelde to hyr.
Chak jou, Madoche bò pa l' menm t'ap pwonmennen devan lakou kay medam yo pou l' te konnen jan Estè t'ap degaje l', ki jan sa tapral pase pou li.
12 And whanne the tyme of alle damesels bi ordre was comun, that thei schulden entre to the kyng, whanne alle thingis weren fillid that perteyneden to wymmens atire, the tweluethe monethe was turned; so oneli that thei weren anoyntid with oile of `myrte tre bi sixe monethis, and bi othere sixe monethis `thei vsiden summe pymentis and swete-smellynge oynementis.
Yo te pran yon lanne nèt pou pare jenn fi yo. Yo pase sis mwa ap pran masaj ak lwil fèt ak lami, sis mwa ak odè ansanm ak krèm fèt pou madan marye. Apre sa, yo mennen jenn fi yo yonn apre lòt al jwenn wa Asyeris.
13 And thei entriden to the kyng, and what euer thing perteynynge to ournement thei axiden, thei token; and thei weren araied as it pleside hem, and passiden fro the chaumbre of wymmen to the kyngis bed.
Men ki jan sa te fèt: lè yon jenn fi ap kite kay medam yo pou ale kay wa a, yo ba li tou sa li te vle mete sou li.
14 And sche that hadde entrid in the euentid, yede out in the morwetid; and fro thennus thei weren led forth in to the secounde housis, that weren vndur the hond of Sagazi, onest seruaunt and chast, that was gouernour of the kyngis concubyns; and sche hadde not power to go ayen more to the kyng, no but the kyng wolde, `and had comaundid hir to come bi name.
Se yon jou swa yo toujou mennen l'. Nan maten, yo fè l' ale nan yon lòt kay wa a te genyen pou fanm kay li yo. Yo renmèt li nan men Chagaz ki te reskonsab kay sa a. Jenn fi a pa t' gen pou l' te tounen kay wa a ankò, esepte si wa a te vle. Lè konsa, se wa a ki pou bay non fi li vle a.
15 Sotheli whanne the tyme was turned aboute bi ordre, the dai neiyede, wherynne Hester, the douyter of Abiahel, brother of Mardoche, `whom he hadde purchasid in to a douyter to hym silf, ouyte entre to the kyng; and sche axide not wymmenus ournement, but what euer thingis Egei, the onest seruaunt and chast, kepere of virgyns, wolde, he yaf these thingis to hir to ournement; for sche was ful schapli, and of fairnesse that may not liytli be bileuyd, and sche semyde graciouse and amyable to the iyen of alle men.
Jou pou Estè ale kay wa a rive. Estè, pitit fi Abikayil la, kouzin Madoche te pran pou pitit fi li a, leve, li pa mande anyen pase sa Egayi, domestik konfyans wa a ki te reskonsab jenn fi yo, te ba li konsèy mande pou mete sou li. Tout moun tonbe pou Estè lè yo wè l'.
16 Therfor sche was lad to the bed of kyng Assuerus, in the tenthe monethe, which is clepid Cebeth, in the seuenthe yeer of his rewme.
Se konsa, Asyeris t'ap mache sou sètan depi li te wa, nan dizyèm mwa, mwa yo rele Tebèt la, lè yo mennen Estè devan wa a lakay li.
17 And the kyng feruentli louyde hir more than alle wymmen, and sche hadde grace and mercy bifor hym ouer alle wymmen; and he settide the diademe of rewme `on hir heed, and he made hir to regne in the stide of Vasthi.
Wa a tonbe pou Estè plis pase pou tout lòt fanm li te janm konnen. Estè te rive fè wa a plezi plis pase tout lòt jenn fi yo. Wa a renmen l' plis pase lòt yo. Li mete kouwòn li a sou tèt Estè, li nonmen l' larenn nan plas Vachti a.
18 And he comaundide a ful worschipful feeste to be maad redi to alle hise princes and seruauntis, for the ioynyng togidere and the weddyngis of Hester; and he yaf rest to alle prouynces, and yaf yiftis aftir the worschipful doyng of a prynce.
Lèfini, li voye envite tout chèf li yo ak moun pa l' yo, li fè yon gwo resepsyon pou Estè. Li bay yon jou vakans nan tout peyi a nèt. Apre sa, li bay kado adwat agoch jan wa yo konn fè l' la.
19 And whanne virgyns weren souyt also the secounde tyme, and weren gaderid togidere, Mardochee dwellide at the yate of the kyng.
Pandan tout tan yo t'ap mennen jenn fi yo bay wa a, Madoche te chita bò pòtay palè a.
20 Hester hadde not yit schewid hir cuntrei and puple, bi comaundement of hym; for whi what euer thing he comaundide, Hester kepte, and sche dide so alle thingis, as sche was wont in that tyme, in which he nurschide hir a litil child.
Estè menm pa t' kite pèsonn konnen moun ki peyi ak ki ras li te ye. Madoche te ba li lòd pa di anyen sou sa. Estè te obeyi l' jan li te toujou obeyi l' lè li te timoun lakay li.
21 Therfor in that tyme, wherynne Mardochee dwellide at the `yate of the king, Bagathan and Thares, twei seruauntis of the kyng, weren wrothe, `that weren porteris, and saten in the first threisfold of the paleis; and thei wolden rise ayens the kyng, and sle hym.
Antan Madoche te chita bò pòtay la, de domestik konfyans wa a, Bigtan ak Tèrèch, ki t'ap fè pòs devan chanm wa a, fache sou wa a, yo fè konplo pou yo touye l'.
22 Which thing was not hid fro Mardochee, and anoon he telde to the queen Hester, and sche to the kyng, bi the name of Mardochee, that hadde teld the thing to hir.
Madoche vin konn sa. Li di larenn Estè sa. Larenn Estè menm al di wa a men sa Madoche voye di l'.
23 It was souyt, and it was foundun, and ech of hem was hangid in a iebat; and `it was sent to storyes, and was bitakun to bookis of yeeris, `bifor the kyng.
Yo mennen ankèt, yo jwenn sa Madoche te di a se te vre. Yo pann de mesye yo. Lèfini, wa a bay lòd pou yo ekri koze a nan gwo liv achiv gouvènman yo.
