Estè 6
1 Pandan nwit lan, wa a pa t kab dòmi. Pou sa, li te pase lòd pou mennen liv achiv kwonik yo pou yo te li li devan wa a.
On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.
2 Li te twouve ekri ladann sa ke Mardochée te rapòte konsènan Bigthan avèk Théresch la, de nan enik wa ki te gadyen pòtay yo, ki te chache pou mete men yo sou wa Assuérus la.
It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
3 Wa a te mande: “Ki distenksyon oswa onè yo te bay a Mardochée pou sèvis sa a?” Sèvitè a wa yo te di: “Anyen pa t fèt pou li.”
The king said, “What honor and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
4 Pou sa, wa a te di: “Kilès ki nan lakou a?” Alò, Haman te fenk antre nan lakou deyò a palè wa a pou l ta kab pale avèk wa a konsènan afè pann Mardochée sou etaj ki te bati pou li a.
The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 Sèvitè a wa a te di li: “Men gade byen, Haman kanpe nan lakou a.” Epi wa a te di li: “Kite li antre.”
The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
6 Pou sa, Haman te antre anndan e wa a te di li: “Kisa ki ta dwe fèt pou nonm nanke wa a dezire onore a?” Epi Haman te di nan tèt li: “Se kilès wa a ta vle onore plis ke mwen menm nan?”
So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?”
7 Epi Haman te di a wa a: “Pou nonm ke wa a vle onore a,
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor,
8 kite yo mennen yon vètman wayal ke wa a te konn mete, avèk cheval ke wa a te konn monte e sou tèt a sila, yon kouwòn wa a te fin mete.
let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.
9 Epi, konsa, kite vètman avèk cheval la remèt a youn nan chèf a wa ki pi onore a e kite yo abiye moun ke wa a vle onore a, mennen li sou do cheval la toupatou nan plas lavil la e pwoklame devan li, ‘Se konsa pou l ta fèt a moun nan ke wa a vle onore a.’”
Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!’”
10 Epi wa a te di a Haman: “Byen vit pran vètman avèk cheval la kon ou te pale a e fè sa pou Mardochée, Jwif la, ki chita nan pòtay wa a. Pa manke nan anyen a tout sa ke ou te pale yo.”
Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”
11 Konsa, Haman te pran vètman an avèk cheval la, te abiye Mardochée, te mennen li sou cheval la nan tout plas lavil la, e te fè pwoklamasyon devan l, “Se konsa li va fèt pou nonm ke wa a vle onore a.”
Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!”
12 Konsa, Mardochée te retounen nan pòtay a wa a, men Haman te kouri byen vit pou rive lakay li avèk kri doulè, ak tèt li kouvri.
Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13 Haman te rakonte a Zéresch, madanm li avèk tout zanmi li yo tout sa ki te rive li yo. Epi mesye saj yo avèk Zéresch, madanm li an, te di li: “Si Mardochée, devan sila ou kòmanse tonbe a, sòti nan Jwif yo, anverite, ou p ap genyen sou li, men anverite, ou va tonbe devan li.”
Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”
14 Pandan yo t ap toujou pale avèk li, enik a wa yo te rive e byen prese, yo te mennen Haman nan bankè ke Esther te prepare a.
While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
