Esther 5
1 On the third day, Esther put on her royal attire and stood in the inner court of the palace across from the king’s quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the royal courtroom, facing the entrance.
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 As soon as the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight. The king extended the gold scepter in his hand toward Esther, and she approached and touched the tip 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 “What is it, Queen Esther?” the king inquired. “What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given to you.”
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 “If it pleases the king,” Esther replied, “may the king and Haman come today to the banquet I have prepared for the king.”
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 “Hurry,” commanded the king, “and bring Haman, so we can do as Esther has requested.” So the king and Haman went 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 as they drank their wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
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 Esther replied, “This is my petition and my request:
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 pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, may the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the king’s question.”
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 That day Haman went out full of joy and glad of heart. At the king’s gate, however, he saw Mordecai, who did not rise or tremble in fear at his presence. And Haman was filled with rage toward 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 calling for his friends and his wife Zeresh,
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 Haman recounted to them his glorious wealth, his many sons, and all the ways the king had honored and promoted him over the other officials and servants.
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 “What is more,” Haman added, “Queen Esther invited no one but me to join the king at the banquet she prepared, and I am invited back tomorrow along 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 none of this satisfies me as 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 His wife Zeresh and all his friends told him, “Have them build a gallows fifty cubits high, and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai hanged on it. Then go to the banquet with the king and enjoy yourself.” The advice pleased Haman, and he had the gallows constructed.
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.
