Esther 6
1 That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before him,
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.
2 They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus.
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.
3 And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all.
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.”
4 And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king’s house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet which was prepared for him.
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.
5 The servants answered: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in.
Sèvitè a wa a te di li: “Men gade byen, Haman kanpe nan lakou a.” Epi wa a te di li: “Kite li antre.”
6 And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself,
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?”
7 Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,
Epi Haman te di a wa a: “Pou nonm ke wa a vle onore a,
8 Ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head,
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.
9 And let the first of the king’s princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
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.’”
10 And the king said to him: Make haste and take the robe and the horse, and do as thou hast spoken to Mardochai the Jew, who sitteth before the gates of the palace. Beware thou pass over any of those things which thou hast spoken.
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.”
11 So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
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.”
12 But Mardochai returned to the palace gate: and Aman made haste to go to his house, mourning and having his head covered:
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.
13 And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight.
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.”
14 As they were yet speaking, the king’s eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared.
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.
