Esther 5
1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, opposite the king's house. And the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, opposite the entrance of the house.
Alò, li te vin rive nan twazyèm jou ke Esther te mete sou li vètman wayal la, e te kanpe nan lakou enteryè a palè wa a devan chanm wa yo, e wa a te chita sou twòn wayal li a nan chanm twòn anfas antre pale a.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.
Lè wa a te wè Esther, rèn nan, te kanpe nan lakou a, li te twouve favè nan zye li. Konsa, wa a te lonje baton a wa a fèt an lò ki te nan men l lan, vè Esther. Pou sa, Esther te pwoche pre pou te touche pwent an wo baton an.
3 Then the king said to her, What will thou, queen Esther? And what is thy request? It shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom.
Epi wa a te di li: “Se kisa ki twouble ou, rèn Esther? Epi se kisa ke w ap mande? Menm jis mwatye wayòm mwen, li va bay a ou menm.”
4 And Esther said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.
Esther te di: “Si sa fè wa a plezi, ke wa a avèk Haman kapab vini nan menm jou sa a nan yon bankè ke m gen tan prepare pou li.”
5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste that it may be done as Esther has said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Alò wa a te di: “Mennen Haman byen vit pou nou kapab fè kon Esther vle a.” Konsa, wa a avèk Haman te vini nan bankè ke Esther te prepare a.
6 And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? And it shall be granted thee. And what is thy request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
Pandan yo t ap bwè diven nan bankè a, wa a te di a Esther: “Se ki petisyon ke ou ap fè a, paske li va bay a ou menm. Kisa menm ou ap mande a? Menm jis mwatye wayòm nan, li va fèt.”
7 Then Esther answered, and said, My petition and my request is,
Konsa, Esther te reponn: “Men petisyon mwen an e sa ke m mande a:
8 if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said.
Si mwen twouve favè nan zye a wa a, e si sa fè l plezi pou ban mwen petisyon mwen an, e fè sa ke m mande a, ke wa a avèk Haman kapab parèt nan bankè ke m va prepare pou yo a, e demen mwen va fè selon sa ke wa a mande a.”
9 Then Haman went forth that day joyful and glad of heart. But when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he did not stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Alò, Haman te sòti nan jou sa a byen kontan avèk rejwisans nan kè l, men lè li te wè Mardochée nan pòtal palè a wa a, e te wè li pa t leve, ni tranble devan l, konsa, Haman te ranpli avèk laraj kont Mardochée.
10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home, and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Haman te kontwole tèt li menm malgre sa e te ale lakay li pou te voye chache zanmi li yo avèk madanm li, Zérescha.
11 And Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his sons, and all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the rulers and servants of the king.
Alò, Haman te rakonte yo glwa a richès li, fòs kantite petit li yo, chak moman ke wa a te leve li, e te fè l monte pi wo chèf avèk sèvitè a wa a.
12 Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself, and tomorrow also I am invited by her together with the king.
Anplis, Haman te di: “Menm Esther, rèn nan pa t kite lòt moun sof ke mwen menm vini avèk wa a nan bankè ke li te prepare a; epi demen, ankò, mwen envite pa li menm avèk wa a.
13 Yet all this avails me nothing so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
Malgre tout sa, mwen vin pa kontan chak fwa ke m wè Mardochée, Jwif ki chita nan pòtay a wa a.”
14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou to the king that Mordecai may be hanged on it. Then go thou in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman, and he caused the gallows to be made.
Epi Zéresch, madanm li an, te di li: “Fè yo prepare yon wo etaj senkant koude nan wotè, e demen maten, mande wa a pou pann Mardochée ladann. Epi apre, ale nan bankè a avèk jwa.” Konsèy la te fè Haman byen kontan e li te fè yo prepare etaj la.
