Esther 5
1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house; and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.
Sou twazyèm jou a, Estè mete rad larenn li sou li, li ale, li kanpe nan lakou anndan palè a, devan salon wa a. Wa a te chita sou fòtèy li anndan salon an anfas pòt pou antre a.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Lè wa a wè larenn Estè kanpe deyò a, sa te fè kè l' kontan, li lonje baton an lò ki te nan men l' lan ba li. Estè antre, li manyen pwent baton an.
3 Then said the king unto her: 'What wilt thou, queen Esther? for whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be given thee.'
Wa a mande l': -Sa ki genyen, larenn Estè? Sa ou bezwen? Ou te mèt mande m' mwatye nan peyi a, m'ap ba ou li.
4 And Esther said: 'If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.'
Estè reponn li: -Si sa fè wa a plezi, mwen ta renmen wa a vini ansanm ak Aman nan yon ti fèt m'ap fè pou li lakay mwen aswè a.
5 Then the king said: 'Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said.' So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Lamenm wa a di: -Kouri vit al chache Aman pou n' al kay Estè ki envite nou. Se konsa, wa a ale nan ti fèt Estè te fè pou li a ansanm ak Aman.
6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine: 'Whatever thy petition, it shall be granted thee; and whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be performed.'
Pandan yo t'ap bwè diven, wa a mande Estè konsa: -Di m' sa ou vle, m'ap ba ou li. Ou te mèt mande m' mwatye nan peyi a, m'ap ba ou li.
7 Then answered Esther, and said: 'My petition and my request is —
Estè reponn, li di konsa: -Sa m' bezwen...? Sa m' ta mande ou...?
8 if I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request — let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.'
Si wa a kontan avè m', si se plezi li pou li ban m' sa m' vle a, pou li fè sa m'a mande l' fè a. mwen ta renmen wa a ansanm ak Aman vini denmen lakay mwen pou yon lòt ti fèt m'ap fè pou li ansanm ak Aman. Lè sa a, m'a di monwa sa m' bezwen.
9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, Haman was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Jou sa a, lè Aman soti nan fèt la, li te kontan, li t'ap ri ak tout moun. Men, lè li rive bò pòtay palè a, li wè Madoche pa menm fè yon rimay leve lè l'ap pase. Li move anpil sou Madoche,
10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.
men li pa kite moun wè sa, epi li al lakay li. Lèfini, li fè chache zanmi l' yo, epi li mande madanm li Zerès pou li vini tou.
11 And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and everything as to how the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
Aman konmanse pale devan yo, li di yo jan li rich, jan li gen lajan, konbe pitit gason li genyen, jan wa a te moute l' grad, li te mete l' chèf anwo tout lòt chèf ak tout lòt moun k'ap sèvi nan gouvenman an.
12 Haman said moreover: 'Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also am I invited by her together with the king.
Lèfini, li di: -Sa ki pi rèd, larenn Estè fè fèt pou wa a, kilès ou kwè li envite? Mwen menm ase, pèsonn ankò! Men li envite m' pou denmen ankò!
13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.'
Men, tou sa pa di m' anyen, toutotan m'a wè jwif yo rele Madoche a chita nan papòt palè wa a.
14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him: 'Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon; then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet.' And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
Lè sa a, Zerès, madanm li, ak tout zanmi l' yo di l' konsa: -Poukisa ou pa fè yo kanpe yon poto swasannkenz pye wotè nan lakou lakay ou? Denmen maten, w'a mande wa a pou yo pann Madoche nan poto a. Apre sa, wa va ale nan fèt la ak kè kontan. Aman wè se te yon bon lide yo te ba li la a. Li fè kanpe yon poto swasannkenz pye wotè nan lakou lakay li.
