Esther 6
1 That night the king was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of them to the king.
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 [The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
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 The king asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything for him.”
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 At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
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 His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
Mesye yo reponn: -Aman la a wi! L'ap espere ou nan lakou a. Wa a di: -Fè l' antre!
6 When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
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 So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
Epi li di wa a: -Yon moun ou ta renmen remèsye pou sèvis li rann ou!
8 you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
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 Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants 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 The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you suggested!”
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 So Haman did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants 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 Then, Mordecai returned [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
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 He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
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 And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther 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.
