< Esther 5 >

1 And on the third day Ester put on her royal apparel, and stood in the court of the Kings palace within, ouer against the Kings house: and the King sate vpon his royal throne in the Kings palace ouer against the gate of the house.
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 And when the King saw Ester the Queene standing in the court, shee founde fauour in his sight: and the King held out the golden scepter that was in his hand: so Ester drewe neere, and touched the toppe 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 Then saide the King vnto her, What wilt thou, Queene Ester? and what is thy request? it shall be euen giuen thee to the halfe of ye kingdome.
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 Then saide Ester, If it please the King, let the King and Haman come this day vnto the banket, that I haue prepared for him.
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 And the King sayd, Cause Haman to make haste that he may doe as Ester hath sayde. So the King and Haman came to the banket that Ester 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 the King sayd vnto Ester at the banket of wine, What is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? and what is thy request? it shall euen be performed vnto the halfe of the kingdome.
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 Then answered Ester, and sayd, My petition and my request is,
Konsa, Esther te reponn: “Men petisyon mwen an e sa ke m mande a:
8 If I haue found fauour in the sight of the King, and if it please the King to giue me my petition, and to perfourme my request, let the King and Haman come to the banket that I shall prepare for them, and I will doe to morowe according to the Kings saying.
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 Then went Haman forth the same day ioyfull and with a glad heart. But when Haman sawe Mordecai in the Kings gate, that he stoode not vp, nor moued for him, then was Haman full of indignation at 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 Neuerthelesse Haman refrayned himselfe: and when he came home, he sent, and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
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 And Haman tolde them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the King had promoted him, and how that he had set him aboue the princes and seruants of the King.
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 Haman sayde moreouer, Yea, Ester the Queene did let no man come in with the King to the banket that she had prepared, saue me: and to morowe am I bidden vnto her also 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 But al this doth nothing auaile me, as long as I see Mordecai ye Iewe sitting at ye Kings gate.
Malgre tout sa, mwen vin pa kontan chak fwa ke m wè Mardochée, Jwif ki chita nan pòtay a wa a.”
14 Then sayde Zeresh his wife and all his friends vnto him, Let them make a tree of fiftie cubites hie, and to morowe speake thou vnto the King, that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then shalt thou goe ioyfully with the King vnto the banket. And the thing pleased Haman, and he caused to make the tree.
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.
