Estè 5

1 Sou twazyèm jou a, Estè mete rad larenn li sou li, li ale, li kanpe nan lakou anndan palè a, devan salon wa a. Wa a te chita sou fòtèy li anndan salon an anfas pòt pou antre a.

And it was - on the day third and she put on Esther royalty and she stood in [the] court of [the] house of the king inner before [the] house of the king and the king [was] sitting on [the] throne of royalty his in [the] house of royalty before [the] entrance of the house.

2 Lè wa a wè larenn Estè kanpe deyò a, sa te fè kè l' kontan, li lonje baton an lò ki te nan men l' lan ba li. Estè antre, li manyen pwent baton an.

And it was when saw the king Esther the queen standing in the court she bore favor in eyes his and he extended the king to Esther [the] scepter of gold which [was] in hand his and she drew near Esther and she touched [the] top of the scepter.

3 Wa a mande l': -Sa ki genyen, larenn Estè? Sa ou bezwen? Ou te mèt mande m' mwatye nan peyi a, m'ap ba ou li.

And he said to her the king what? [is] to you O Esther the queen and what? [is] request your up to half of the kingdom so it may be given to you.

4 Estè reponn li: -Si sa fè wa a plezi, mwen ta renmen wa a vini ansanm ak Aman nan yon ti fèt m'ap fè pou li lakay mwen aswè a.

And she said Esther if [is] on the king good let him come the king and Haman this day to the feast which I have made for him.

5 Lamenm wa a di: -Kouri vit al chache Aman pou n' al kay Estè ki envite nou. Se konsa, wa a ale nan ti fèt Estè te fè pou li a ansanm ak Aman.

And he said the king bring quickly Haman to do [the] word of Esther and he came the king and Haman to the feast which she had made Esther.

6 Pandan yo t'ap bwè diven, wa a mande Estè konsa: -Di m' sa ou vle, m'ap ba ou li. Ou te mèt mande m' mwatye nan peyi a, m'ap ba ou li.

And he said the king to Esther at [the] feast of wine what? [is] petition your sp it may be given to you and what? [is] request your up to half of the kingdom and it may be done.

7 Estè reponn, li di konsa: -Sa m' bezwen...? Sa m' ta mande ou...?

And she answered Esther and she said petition my and request my.

8 Si wa a kontan avè m', si se plezi li pou li ban m' sa m' vle a, pou li fè sa m'a mande l' fè a. mwen ta renmen wa a ansanm ak Aman vini denmen lakay mwen pou yon lòt ti fèt m'ap fè pou li ansanm ak Aman. Lè sa a, m'a di monwa sa m' bezwen.

If I have found favor in [the] eyes of the king and if [is] on the king good to grant petition my and to do request my let him come the king and Haman to the feast which I will make for them and tomorrow I will do according to [the] word of the king.

9 Jou sa a, lè Aman soti nan fèt la, li te kontan, li t'ap ri ak tout moun. Men, lè li rive bò pòtay palè a, li wè Madoche pa menm fè yon rimay leve lè l'ap pase. Li move anpil sou Madoche,

And he went out Haman on the day that joyful and good of heart and just as saw Haman Mordecai at [the] gate of the king and not he stood up and not he trembled from him and he was filled Haman towards Mordecai rage.

10 men li pa kite moun wè sa, epi li al lakay li. Lèfini, li fè chache zanmi l' yo, epi li mande madanm li Zerès pou li vini tou.

And he restrained himself Haman and he went to house his and he sent and he gathered friends his and Zeresh wife his.

11 Aman konmanse pale devan yo, li di yo jan li rich, jan li gen lajan, konbe pitit gason li genyen, jan wa a te moute l' grad, li te mete l' chèf anwo tout lòt chèf ak tout lòt moun k'ap sèvi nan gouvenman an.

And he recounted to them Haman [about] [the] splendor of wealth his and [the] multitude of sons his and [about] all that he had made great him the king and this: he had exalted him above the officials and [the] servants of the king.

12 Lèfini, li di: -Sa ki pi rèd, larenn Estè fè fèt pou wa a, kilès ou kwè li envite? Mwen menm ase, pèsonn ankò! Men li envite m' pou denmen ankò!

And he said Haman also not she let come [anyone] Esther the queen with the king to the feast which she had prepared that except me and also for tomorrow I [am] invited by her with the king.

13 Men, tou sa pa di m' anyen, toutotan m'a wè jwif yo rele Madoche a chita nan papòt palè wa a.

And all this not it [is] adequate for me at any time when I [am] seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting at [the] gate of the king.

14 Lè sa a, Zerès, madanm li, ak tout zanmi l' yo di l' konsa: -Poukisa ou pa fè yo kanpe yon poto swasannkenz pye wotè nan lakou lakay ou? Denmen maten, w'a mande wa a pou yo pann Madoche nan poto a. Apre sa, wa va ale nan fèt la ak kè kontan. Aman wè se te yon bon lide yo te ba li la a. Li fè kanpe yon poto swasannkenz pye wotè nan lakou lakay li.

And she said to him Zeresh wife his and all friends his let people make a gallows high fifty cubit[s] and in the morning - speak to the king so people may hang Mordecai on it and go with the king to the feast joyful and it was good the word before Haman and he made the gallows.
