Esther 6
1 But the Lord removed sleep from the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the books, the registers of daily events, to read to him.
Menm jou lannwit sa a, wa a pa t' ka dòmi. Li fè yo pote achiv gouvènman kote yo te ekri tou sa ki te pase nan peyi a nan tan lontan. Li fè yo li ladan l' pou li.
2 And he found the records written concerning Mardochaeus, how he had told the king concerning the two chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes.
Nan sa yo li a, te gen yon pòsyon kote yo te rakonte ki jan Madoche te dekouvri konplo de nan domestik konfyans wa a, Bigtan ak Tèrèch, ki t'ap fè pòs devan chanm wa a, te moute pou yo ansasinen wa a.
3 And the king said, What honour or favour have we done to Mardochaeus? And the king's servants said, You have not done anything to him.
Wa a mande: -Kisa yo te fè pou Madoche lè sa a? Kisa yo te ba li pou sa? Mesye ki te la ap sèvi wa a reponn: -Yo pa t' fè anyen pou li non.
4 And while the king was enquiring about the kindness of Mardochaeus, behold, Aman [was] in the court. And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Aman was come in to speak to the king, that he should hang Mardochaeus on the gallows, which he had prepared.
Wa a mande: -Kilès nan chèf yo ki nan lakou palè a? Lè sa a, Aman te fèk antre nan lakou palè a. Li te vin mande wa a pou l' te fè pann Madoche nan poto li te pare a.
5 And the king's servants said, Behold, Aman stands in the court. And the king said, Call him.
Mesye yo reponn: -Aman la a wi! L'ap espere ou nan lakou a. Wa a di: -Fè l' antre!
6 And the king said to Aman, What shall I do to the man whom I wish to honour? And Aman said within himself, Whom would the king honour but myself?
Lè Aman antre, wa a di l' konsa: -Ki pi bèl bagay m' ta fè pou yon moun mwen ta renmen remèsye pou sèvis li rann mwen. Aman di nan kè l': Pa gen lòt moun wa a ta renmen remèsye pase mwen menm!
7 and he said to the king, As for the man whom the king wishes to honour,
Epi li di wa a: -Yon moun ou ta renmen remèsye pou sèvis li rann ou!
8 let the king's servants bring the robe of fine linen which the king puts on, and the horse on which the king rides,
Enben! Fè yo pran yonn nan bèl rad ou konn mete sou ou yo pote l' bay moun sa a. Pran chwal ou konn moute a ak tout kouwòn lan sou tèt li.
9 and let him give [it] to one of the king's noble friends, and let him array the man whom the king loves; and let him mount him on the horse, and proclaim through the street of the city, saying, Thus shall it be [done] to every man whom the king honours.
Chwazi yonn nan pi gwo chèf ou yo, fè l' al abiye moun sa a ak rad wa a. Lèfini, l'a fè l' moute sou chwal la. Epi, l'a pwonmennen l' nan tout lavil la sou plas piblik la. Pandan y'ap mache konsa, chèf la va di byen fò: Men ki jan wa a remèsye moun pou sèvis yo rann li.
10 Then the king said to Aman, You have well said: so do to Mardochaeus the Jew, who waits in the palace, and let not a word of what you have spoken be neglected.
Lè sa a, wa a di Aman: -Kouri al chache rad la ak chwal la. Epi w'a fè tou sa ou di la a pou Madoche, nonm jwif la. w'a jwenn li chita bò pòtay palè a. Pa bliye anyen nan sa ou te di fè a.
11 So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mardochaeus, and mounted him on the horse, and went through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be to every man whom the king wishes to honour.
Aman pran rad la ak chwal la, li mete rad la sou Madoche. Li fè Madoche moute sou chwal la. Epi, Aman pwonmennen l' sou plas piblik la. Pandan y'ap mache konsa, li t'ap di byen fò pou tout moun tande: Men ki jan wa a remèsye moun pou sèvis yo rann li.
12 And Mardochaeus returned to the palace: but Aman went home mourning, and having his head covered.
Apre sa, Madoche tounen tounen l' bò pòtay palè wa a. Aman menm kouri al lakay li, li bouche figi l' sitèlman li te wont.
13 And Aman related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to [his] friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, If Mardochaeus [be] of the race of the Jews, [and] you have begun to be humbled before him, you will assuredly fall, and you will not be able to withstand him, for the living God [is] with him.
Li rakonte madanm li ak tout zanmi l' yo tou sa ki te rive l'. Lèfini, Zerès, madanm li, ak zanmi l' yo ki te gen bon konprann di l' konsa: -Si Madoche se yon jwif vre, koulye a ou p'ap ka fè l' anyen. Ou konmanse pèdi pye devan l'. Ou mèt sèten se li k'ap kraze ou.
14 While they were yet speaking, the chamberlains arrived, to hasten Aman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.
Zanmi l' yo t'ap pale toujou, lè domestik konfyans wa yo rive vin chache Aman pou l' ale touswit nan fèt Estè te pare a.
