Esther 7
1 So the king and Aman went in, to drink with the queen.
Wa a te al nan fèt larenn Estè a ankò ansanm ak Aman.
2 And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it.
Pandan yo t'ap bwè diven, wa a mande Estè, tankou premye jou a: -Di m' sa ou vle, m'ap ba ou li. Ou te mèt mande m' mwatye nan peyi a, m'ap ba ou li!
3 Then she answered: If I have found Favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please thee, give me my life for which I ask, and my people for which I request.
Estè reponn li: -Si wa a kontan avè m', si se plezi li pou li ban mwen sa m' vle a, tanpri, sove lavi m' ansanm ak lavi pèp mwen an. Se sa ase mwen mande ou.
4 For we are given up, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. And would God we were sold for bondmen and bondwomen: the evil might be borne with, and I would have mourned in silence: but now we have an enemy, whose cruelty redoundeth upon the king.
Paske yo vann nou, mwen menm ansanm ak tout pèp mwen an, pou yo ka masakre nou, touye nou, disparèt nou nèt. Si se vann yo te vann nou pou fè nou tounen esklav, mwen pa ta di anyen, mwen pa ta deranje ou pou sa ase. Men, moun ki pa vle wè nou an p'ap janm ka ranplase pèt l'ap fè ou fè a.
5 And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things?
Wa Asyeris mande larenn Estè: -Ki moun ki penmèt li gen lide fè bagay konsa? Kote moun lan?
6 And Esther said: It is this Aman that is our adversary and most wicked enemy. Aman hearing this was forthwith astonished, not being able to bear the countenance of the king and of the queen.
Estè reponn li: -Moun ki pa vle wè nou an, moun k'ap pèsekite nou an, se Aman, mechan sa a! Aman dekare, li pran tranble devan wa a ak larenn lan.
7 But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king.
Wa a leve bò tab la byen move, li soti deyò al nan jaden palè a. Aman te konnen wa a tapral pini l' pou sa l' fè a. Li rete pou l' mande larenn lan fè pa l'.
8 And when the king came back out of the garden set with trees, and entered into the place of the banquet, he found Aman was fallen upon the bed on which Esther lay, and he said: He will force the queen also in my presence, in my own house. The word was not yet gone out of the king’s mouth, and immediately they covered his face.
Aman te fèk panche kò l' sou divan Estè a pou mande l' padon lè wa a tounen antre soti nan jaden an. Lè wa a wè sa, li di: -Koulye a, apa nonm lan soti pou li fè kadejak sou larenn Estè, l'a devan je m', nan mitan lakay mwen an! Wa a poko fin pale, nèg konfyans yo gen tan kouvri tèt Aman.
9 And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman’s house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it.
Yonn ladan yo ki te rele Abona, di konsa: -Aman te menm gen tan fè kanpe yon poto nan lakou lakay li pou l' te pann Madoche ki te sove lavi wa a. Poto a gen swasannkenz pye wotè. Wa a bay lòd pou yo pann Aman ladan l'.
10 So Aman was hanged on the gibbet, which he had prepared for Mardochai: and the king’s wrath ceased.
Se konsa yo pann Aman nan poto li te pare pou Madoche a. Apre sa, kòlè wa a tonbe.
