Esther 8
1 The same day did King Ahashuerosh giue the house of Haman the aduersarie of the Iewes vnto the Queene Ester. and Mordecai came before the King: for Ester tolde what hee was vnto her.
Nan menm jou sa a, Wa Assuérus te bay lakay Haman, lènmi a Jwif yo, a rèn Esther. Mardochée te parèt devan wa a, paske Esther te pale wa a sa li te ye pou li.
2 And the King tooke off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gaue it vnto Mordecai: and Ester set Mordecai ouer the house of Haman.
Wa a te fin retire bag so ke li te retire nan men a Haman an e te bay li a Mardochée. Konsa, Esther te plase Mardochée sou kay Haman an.
3 And Ester spake yet more before the King, and fell downe at his feete weeping, and besought him that he would put away the wickednes of Haman the Agagite, and his deuice that he had imagined against the Iewes.
Esther te pale ankò a wa a, te tonbe nan pye li, te kriye e te sipliye li pou evite mechanste Haman an, Agagit la, avèk konplo ke li te prepare kont Jwif yo.
4 And the King held out the golden scepter toward Ester. Then arose Ester, and stood before the King,
Wa a te lonje baton an lò a vè Esther. Konsa, Esther te leve kanpe devan wa a.
5 And sayd, If it please the King, and if I haue found fauour in his sight, and the thing be acceptable before the King, and I please him, let it be written, that the letters of the deuice of Haman the sonne of Ammedatha the Agagite may be called againe, which he wrote to destroy the Iewes, that are in all the Kings prouinces.
Li te di: “Si sa fè wa a plezi, si mwen te twouve favè devan li, wa a twouve koz sa a bon, e sa fè kè l kontan pou wè m, kite li ekri pou anile lèt ki te manevre pa Haman an, fis a Hammedatha a, Agagit la, ke li te ekri pou detwi Jwif ki nan tout pwovens a wa yo.
6 For how can I suffer and see the euil, that shall come vnto my people? Or howe can I suffer and see the destruction of my kinred?
Paske, kijan mwen kab sipòte wè gwo dezas ki va rive pèp mwen an, e kijan mwen kab sipòte wè destriksyon a fanmi mwen yo?”
7 And the King Ahashuerosh sayde vnto the Queene Ester, and to Mordecai the Iewe, Behold, I haue giuen Ester the house of Haman, whome they haue hanged vpon the tree, because he layd hand vpon the Iewes.
Pou sa, Wa Assuérus te pale a rèn Esther e a Mardochée, Jwif la: “Veye byen, Mwen te bay lakay Haman a Esther e li menm, yo te pann li sou wo etaj la akoz li te lonje men li kont Jwif yo.
8 Write yee also for the Iewes, as it liketh you in the Kinges name, and seale it with the Kings ring (for the writings written in the Kings name, and sealed with the Kings ring, may no man reuoke)
Alò, ou menm ekri a Jwif yo jan ou twouve li bon nan non a wa a, e sele lèt la avèk bag so a wa a; paske, yon dekrè ki ekri nan non a wa a e sele avèk bag so a wa a p ap kapab anile.”
9 Then were the Kings Scribes called at the same time, euen in the thirde moneth, that is the moneth Siuan, on the three and twentieth day thereof: and it was written, according to all as Mordecai commanded, vnto the Iewes and to the princes, and captaines, and rulers of the prouinces, which were from India euen vnto Ethiopia, an hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces, vnto euery prouince, according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their speache, and to the Iewes, according to their writing, and according to their language.
Pou sa, grefye a wa yo te rele nan lè sa a nan twazyèm mwa a (sa vle di, mwa Sivan an), nan twazyèm jou a; epi, li te ekri selon tout sa ke Mardochée te kòmande a Jwif yo, reprezantan a wa yo nan pwovens yo, gouvènè yo, avèk chèf a pwovens ki te lonje rive soti nan Inde jis rive Ethiopie, san-venn-sèt pwovens, a chak pwovens selon ekriti pa li e a chak pèp selon langaj yo, epi anplis a Jwif yo selon ekriti pa yo, avèk langaj pa yo.
10 And hee wrote in the King Ahashuerosh name, and sealed it with the Kings ring: and he sent letters by postes on horsebacke and that rode on beastes of price, as dromedaries and coltes of mares.
Li te ekri nan non a Wa Assuérus, te sele li avèk bag so a wa a e te voye lèt yo pa mesaje yo monte sou cheval ki te nan ras cheval wayal yo.
11 Wherein the King graunted the Iewes (in what cities so euer they were) to gather theselues together, and to stand for their life, and to roote out, to slay and to destroy al the power of the people and of the prouince that vexed them, both children and women, and to spoyle their goods:
Nan lèt sa yo, wa a te bay dwa a Jwif yo nan chak vil, pou rasanble e fè defans lavi yo, pou detwi, pou touye e pou anile tout lame a nenpòt pèp oswa pwovens ki ta vin atake yo, menm ansanm avèk pitit yo ak fanm yo, e piyaje byen yo,
12 Vpon one day in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh, euen in the thirteenth day of the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar.
nan yon sèl jou nan tout pwovens a Wa Assuérus yo, trèzyèm jou nan douzyèm mwa a, (sa vle di, mwa Adar a).
13 The copie of the writing was, howe there should be a commandement giuen in all and euery prouince, published among all the people, and that the Iewes should be ready against that day to auenge themselues on their enemies.
Yon kopi a dekrè a te gen pou pibliye kon lwa nan chak pwovens e te pibliye a tout pèp yo, pou Jwif yo ta parèt nan jou sila pou fè revandikasyon yo sou lènmi yo.
14 So the postes rode vpon beasts of price, and dromedaries, and went forth with speede, to execute the Kings commandement, and the decree was giuen at Shushan the palace.
Mesaje yo byen prese, bourade pa lòd a wa a, te sòti monte sou cheval wayal yo. Konsa, dekrè a te distribye nan sitadèl Suse la.
15 And Mordecai went out from the King in royall apparell of blewe, and white, and with a great crowne of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple, and the citie of Shushan reioyced and was glad.
Epi Mardochée te sòti nan prezans a wa a nan vètman wayal la ki te an koulè ble e blan, avèk yon gran kouwòn an lò ak yon manto fèt an len fen e mov; epi lavil Suse te fè yon gwo kri avèk jwa, e te rejwi.
16 And vnto the Iewes was come light and ioy and gladnes, and honour.
Pou Jwif yo, te gen limyè, kè kontan, lajwa avèk lonè.
17 Also in all and euery prouince, and in al and euery citie and place, where the Kings commandement and his decree came, there was ioy and gladnes to the Iewes, a feast and good day, and many of the people of the land became Iewes: for the feare of the Iewes fell vpon them.
Nan chak pwovens nèt ak nan chak vil nenpòt kote lòd a wa a avèk dekrè li te rive a, te gen kè kontan avèk lajwa pou Jwif yo, yon fèt bankè avèk yon jou fèt. Epi anpil moun pami pèp peyi yo te vin Jwif yo, paske krent a Jwif yo te vin tonbe sou yo.
