Esther 9
1 So in the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar, vpon the thirteenth daye of the same, when the Kings commandement and his decree drew neere to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Iewes hoped to haue power ouer them (but it turned contrary: for the Iewes had rule ouer them that hated them)
Alò, nan douzyèm mwa a (sa vle di mwa Adar a), sou trèzyèm jou a, lè lòd a wa a avèk dekrè li a te prèt pou acheve, nan jou lè lènmi a Jwif yo te gen espwa vin mèt sou yo a, li te vin vire tèt anba jiskaske Jwif yo menm te vin domine sou sila ki te rayi yo.
2 The Iewes gathered themselues together into their cities throughout all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, to lay hande on such as sought their hurt, and no man coulde withstande them: for the feare of them fel vpon al people.
Jwif yo te rasanble nan vil pa yo toupatou nan pwovens a Wa Assuérus yo pou mete men yo sou sila ki te chache fè yo mal yo. Konsa, pa t genyen moun ki te kab kanpe devan yo, paske perèz yo te vin tonbe sou tout moun nan pèp yo.
3 And all the rulers of the prouinces, and the princes and the captaines, and the officers of the King exalted the Iewes: for the feare of Mordecai fell vpon them.
Menm tout chèf pwovens yo, reprezantan a wa yo, gouvènè yo e sila ki t ap fè afè a wa yo te asiste Jwif yo akoz laperèz a Mardochée te vin tonbe sou yo.
4 For Mordecai was great in the kings house, and the report of him went through all the prouinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
Anverite, Mardochée te gran lakay a wa a e repitasyon li te gaye toupatou nan pwovens yo, paske nonm nan, Mardouchée, te vin pi gwo e pi gwo.
5 Thus the Iewes smote all their enemies with strokes of the sworde and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they woulde vnto those that hated them.
Konsa, Jwif yo te frape tout lènmi yo avèk nepe, te touye e detwi. Yo te fè sa yo te pito a sila ki te rayi yo.
6 And at Shushan the palace slewe the Iewes and destroyed fiue hundreth men,
Nan sitadèl Suse la, Jwif yo te touye e detwi senk-san òm.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Yo te touye Parchandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaiezatha,
Parmaschtha, Arizaï, Aridaï avèk Vajezatha,
10 The ten sonnes of Haman, ye sonne of Ammedatha, the aduersarie of the Iewes slewe they: but they layd not their hands on the spoyle.
dis fis a Haman yo, fis a Hammedatha yo, lènmi a Jwif yo. Men yo te refize touche piyaj la.
11 On the same day came ye nomber of those that were slayne, vnto the palace of Shushan before the King.
Nan menm jou sa a, fòs kantite a sila ki te touye nan sitadèl Suse la te rapòte a wa a.
12 And the King sayd vnto the Queene Ester, The Iewes haue slayne in Shushan the palace and destroyed fiue hundreth men, and the ten sonnes of Haman: what haue they done in the rest of the Kings prouinces? and what is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? or what is thy request moreouer, that it may be performed?
Wa a te di a rèn Esther: “Jwif yo te fin touye e detwi senk-san moun avèk fis a Haman yo nan sitadèl Suse la. Alò, konsa se kisa ke yo gen tan fè nan lòt pwovens a wa yo!” Koulye a, se ki petisyon ou? Menm li menm va bay a ou menm. Epi kisa ou mande anplis? Li menm tou va fèt.
13 Then sayd Ester, If it please the King, let it be granted also to morow to the Iewes that are in Shushan, to do according vnto this daies decree, that they may hang vpon ye tree Hamans ten sonnes.
Epi Esther te di: “Si sa se plezi a wa a, kite demen, anplis, vin bay a Jwif ki nan Suse yo, pou fè menm ak dekrè ki pou jodi a; epi kite dis fis a Haman yo vin pann sou wo etaj la.”
14 And the King charged to doe so, and the decree was giuen at Shushan, and they hanged Hamans ten sonnes.
Pou sa, wa a te kòmande pou li ta fèt konsa. Yon dekrè te pibliye nan Suse e dis fis a Haman yo te pann.
15 So the Iewes that were in Shushan, assembled themselues vpon the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and slew three hundreth men in Shushan, but on the spoyle they layd not their hand.
Jwif ki te nan Suse yo te rasanble, anplis, nan katòzyèm jou nan mwa Adar a e te touye twa-san moun nan Suse, men yo pa t mete men yo sou piyaj la.
16 And the rest of the Iewes that were in the Kings prouinces assembled themselues, and stood for their liues, and had rest from their enemies, and slewe of them that hated them, seuentie and fiue thousand: but they layd not their hand on the spoyle.
Alò, tout lòt moun nan Jwif yo ki te nan pwovens yo te rasanble pou defann lavi yo, pou te retire lènmi yo pami yo e pou te touye swasann-kenz-mil nan sila ki te rayi yo; men yo pa t mete men yo sou piyaj la.
17 This they did on the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar, and rested the fourteenth day thereof, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
Sa te fèt nan trèzyèm jou nan mwa Adar e nan katòzyèm jou a, yo te repoze e te fè li yon jou gwo fèt avèk rejwisans.
18 But the Iewes that were in Shushan assembled themselues on the thirteenth day, and on the fourteenth therof, and they rested on the fifteenth of the same, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
Men Jwif ki te nan Suse yo te rasanble nan trèzyèm avèk katòzyèm jou nan menm mwa a. Men yo te repoze nan kenzyèm jou a, e te fè li yon jou gwo fèt avèk rejwisans.
19 Therefore the Iewes of the villages that dwelt in the vnwalled townes, kept the foureteenth day of the moneth Adar with ioy and feasting, euen a ioyfull day, and euery one sent presents vnto his neighbour.
Pou sa, Jwif nan andwa andeyò yo, ki te rete nan lavil riral yo, fè katòzyèm jou nan mwa Adar a yon jou fèt pou rejwi, fè fèt ak voye pòsyon manje bay youn lòt.
20 And Mordecai wrote these words, and sent letters vnto all the Iewes that were through all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, both neere and farre,
Epi Mardochée te fè yon rapò de evènman sila yo, e li te voye lèt a tout Jwif ki te nan tout pwovens a Wa Assuérus yo, ni sila ki pre yo, ni sila ki te lwen yo,
21 Inioyning them that they shoulde keepe the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, euery yeere.
pou fè yo konprann se devwa yo pou selebre katòzyèm jou a mwa Adar a avèk kenzyèm jou nan menm mwa a chak ane,
22 According to the dayes wherein the Iewes rested from their enemies, and the moneth which was turned vnto them from sorowe to ioy, and from mourning into a ioyfull day, to keepe them the dayes of feasting, and ioy, and to sende presents euery man to his neyghbour, and giftes to the poore.
paske nan jou sa yo, Jwif yo retire lènmi yo e se te nan mwa sa a ke tristès la te vin vire an kè kontan e kite rele anmwey la pou rive fè yon jou fèt; ke yo ta dwe fè yo jou a gwo bankè ak rejwisans; epi pou voye manje bay youn lòt avèk kado pou pòv yo.
23 And the Iewes promised to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written vnto them,
Konsa, Jwif yo te acheve fè sa ke yo te kòmanse fè a e menm sa ke Mardochée te ekri yo.
24 Because Haman the sonne of Hammedatha the Agagite al the Iewes aduersarie, had imagined against the Iewes, to destroy them, and had cast Pur (that is a lot) to consume and destroy them.
Paske Haman, fis a Hammedatha a, Agagit la, advèsè a tout Jwif yo, te manevre kont Jwif yo pou detwi yo, e te voye Pur, sa vle di osò, pou deranje yo ak detwi yo.
25 And when she came before the King, he commanded by letters, Let this wicked deuise (which he imagined against the Iewes) turne vpon his owne head, and let them hang him and his sonnes on the tree.
Men lè li te rive nan atansyon a wa a, li te pase lòd pa lèt ke manèv mechan li an pou li te divize kont Jwif yo ta retounen sou pwòp tèt li, e ke li menm avèk fis li yo ta pann sou wo etaj la.
26 Therfore they called these dayes Purim, by the name of Pur, and because of all the wordes of this letter, and of that which they had seene besides this, and of that which had come vnto them.
Pou sa, yo rele jou sila yo Purim menm non ak Pur. Epi akoz enstriksyon nan lèt sila yo, akoz sa yo te wè konsa ak sa ki te rive yo,
27 The Iewes also ordeined, and promised for them and for their seede, and for all that ioyned vnto them, that they would not faile to obserue those two dayes euery yeere, according to their writing, and according to their season,
Jwif yo te etabli e te fè kon koutim yo avèk desandan yo, pou tout sila ki te fè alyans avèk yo, pou yo pa ta manke selebre de jou sa yo selon règ e selon tan ki apwente chak ane.
28 And that these dayes shoulde be remembred, and kept throughout euery generation and euery familie, and euery prouince, and euery citie: euen these daies of Purim should not faile among the Iewes, and the memoriall of them should not perish from their seede.
Pou sa, jou sa yo te gen pou sonje e selebre pandan tout jenerasyon, tout fanmi, tout pwovens ak tout vil; epi jou sila yo a Purim pa te janm dwe neglije pami Jwif yo, ni memwa yo vin pèdi fòs pami desandan yo.
29 And the Queene Ester ye daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Iew wrote with al authoritie (to cofirme this letter of Purim ye second time)
Epi rèn Esther, fi a Abichaïl la, avèk Mardochée, Jwif la, te ekri avèk plen otorite pou konfime dezyèm lèt sa a konsènan Purim.
30 And he sent letters vnto al the Iewes to the hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces of the kingdome of Ahashuerosh, with words of peace and trueth,
Li te voye lèt yo a tout Jwif nan san-venn-sèt pwovens a wayòm Assuérus yo, avèk pawòl lapè ak verite,
31 To confirme these dayes of Purim, according to their seasons, as Mordecai the Iewe and Ester the Queene had appointed them, and as they had promised for them selues and for their seede with fasting and prayer.
pou etabli jou a Purim sila yo nan tan ki apwente, jis jan ke Mardochée avèk rèn Esther te etabli a pou yo menm e pou desandan pa yo avèk enstriksyon pou tan jèn avèk lamantasyon yo.
32 And the decree of Ester confirmed these words of Purim, and was written in the booke.
Se te lòd Esther a ki te etabli koutim sila yo pou Purim, e sa te ekri nan liv la.
