Esther 8
1 That day the king gave all the family of Haman, the hater of the Jews, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had made clear what he was to her.
Menm jou sa a, wa Asyeris pran tout byen Aman yo, nonm ki pa t' vle wè jwif yo, li fè larenn Estè kado. Estè fè wa a konnen Madoche se fanmi li. Depi lè sa a, Madoche te gen dwa parèt devan wa a.
2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther put Mordecai over the family of Haman.
Wa a wete bag li te reprann nan men Aman an, li bay Madoche li. Estè menm mete Madoche reskonsab tout byen Aman yo.
3 Then Esther again came before the king, falling down at his feet, and made request to him with weeping, that he would put a stop to the evil purposes of Haman the Agagite and the designs which he had made against the Jews.
Apre sa, Estè al pale ak wa a ankò. Li lage kò l' nan pye l' ap kriye. Li mande l' pou l' fè kichòy pou kraze vye konplo Aman, moun laras Agag la, te moute sou do jwif yo.
4 Then the king put out the rod of gold to Esther, and she got up before the king.
Wa a lonje baton an lò a bay Estè. Estè leve epi li di:
5 And she said, If it is the king's pleasure and if I have his approval and this thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing to him, then let letters be sent giving orders against those which Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, sent out for the destruction of the Jews in all divisions of the kingdom:
-Si sa fè wa a plezi, si wa a kontan avè m', si se yon bagay li ka fè, si mwen fè wa a plezi, tanpri, ekri yon lèt pou revoke lòd Aman, pitit Amedata, moun laras Agag la, te bay pou yo te touye dènye kras jwif toupatou nan peyi wa a.
6 For how is it possible for me to see the evil which is to overtake my nation? how may I see the destruction of my people?
Mwen p'ap ka rete konsa pou m' wè malè sa a ap tonbe sou moun pèp mwen yo, pou m' wè y'ap touye tout fanmi m' yo.
7 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on the Jews.
Wa Asyeris di Estè ak Madoche konsa: -Gade, mwen fè pann Aman poutèt konplo li te moute sou do jwif yo, lèfini, m' bay Estè tout byen li yo.
8 So now send a letter about the Jews, writing whatever seems good to you, in the king's name, and stamping it with the king's ring: for a writing signed in the king's name and stamped with the king's ring may not be changed.
Men, depi yo bay yon lòd piblik nan non wa a, avèk so wa a sou li, li pa ka revoke. Tansèlman, nou menm, nou gen dwa ekri yon lèt bay jwif yo nan non mwen avèk so mwen sou li.
9 Then at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, the king's scribes were sent for; and everything ordered by Mordecai was put in writing and sent to the Jews and the captains and the rulers and the chiefs of all the divisions of the kingdom from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven divisions, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing and their language.
Tou sa te pase nan venntwazyèm jou twazyèm mwa a, mwa Sivan an. Madoche fè chache tout sekretè wa yo, li di yo tou sa pou yo mete nan lèt pou yo voye bay jwif yo, bay gouvènè yo, bay prefè yo ak lòt chèf pèp yo, nan tout sanvennsèt (127) pwovens yo, depi peyi Lend rive peyi Letiopi. Lèt yo te ekri pou chak pwovens yo nan lang yo, dapre jan yo ekri lang lan nan peyi a. Yo ekri lèt pou jwif yo nan lang pa yo, dapre jan yo ekri lang pa yo a tou.
10 The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses:
Madoche fè ekri lèt yo nan non wa a, epi li mete so wa a sou yo. Yo renmèt lèt yo bay mesaje pote ale. Mesaje yo te moute sou chwal yo te pran nan ekri wa a.
11 In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives, and to send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force,
Dapre sa ki te nan lèt yo, wa a te bay tout jwif yo pèmisyon pou yo te òganize yo nan chak lavil peyi a pou yo te ka defann tèt yo. Nenpòt moun lòt nasyon ki ta atake yo ak zam nan nenpòt pwovens, se pou yo koresponn ak yo, se pou yo masakre yo ansanm ak madanm yo ak pitit yo. Se pou yo touye yo nèt ale, lèfini pou yo pran tout byen yo.
12 On one day in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, that is, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.
Se sa pou jwif yo fè nan tout pwovens peyi wa Asyeris la, nan trèzyèm jou douzyèm mwa a, ki vle di mwa Ada a.
13 A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.
Nan chak pwovens, se pou yo te konsidere lèt la tankou yon lwa. Se pou yo te pibliye l' pou tout moun te ka konnen sa ki ladan l'. Jwif yo menm te pou pare pou yo te tire revanj yo sou lènmi yo jou sa a.
14 So the men went out on the quick-running horses used on the king's business, wasting no time and forced on by the king's order; and the order was given out in Shushan, the king's town.
Jan wa a te bay lòd la, mesaje yo moute sou chwal wa yo, yo kouri pote lèt yo ale. Yo te mache fè konnen lòd wa a nan lavil Souz, kapital la, tou.
15 And Mordecai went out from before the king, dressed in king-like robes of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold and clothing of purple and the best linen: and all the town of Shushan gave loud cries of joy.
Madoche soti kite palè wa a. Li te gen yon bèl rad ble e blan, tankou rad wa a, sou li, yon gwo kouwòn lò sou tèt li ak yon manto koulè violèt sou zepòl li. Tout moun lavil Souz te kontan, yo t'ap fè fèt.
16 And the Jews had light and joy and honour.
Pou jwif yo menm, se te yon gwo soulajman; yo te kontan, yo t'ap fè fèt, se te yon bèl bagay pou yo.
17 And in every part of the kingdom and in every town, wherever the king's letter and his order came, the Jews were glad with great joy, and had a feast and a good day. And a great number of the people of the land became Jews: for the fear of the Jews had come on them.
Nan tout pwovens yo, nan chak lavil yo, toupatou kote yo te li lèt wa a te voye a, jwif yo pase jou a ap fè fèt, yo te kontan, yo fè resepsyon, yo bay manje. Anpil moun lòt nasyon fè yo jwif lè sa a, paske yo te pè jwif yo anpil.
