Esther 3
1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
Kèk tan apre sa, wa Asyeris mete yon nonm ki te rele Aman nan yon gwo pozisyon. Li nonmen l' chèf sou tout lòt chèf nan peyi a apre wa a. Aman sa a te pitit Amedata, moun fanmi wa Agag.
2 And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
Wa a pase lòd pou tout anplwaye gouvènman li mete ajenou, bese tèt yo jouk atè devan Aman pou montre jan yo respekte l'. Tout anplwaye yo te fè sa vre esepte Madoche ki te derefize fè bagay konsa.
3 Then the king’s servants, which were in the king’s gate, said to Mordecai, Why transgress you the king’s commandment?
Lòt anplwaye yo mande Madoche poukisa li t'ap dezobeyi lòd wa a te bay la.
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he listened not to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Chak jou yo te dèyè l' pou l' te konfòme l'. Men, li te refize koute yo. Li esplike yo se jwif li ye, li pa kapab bese tèt li jouk atè devan Aman. Se konsa mesye yo al di Aman sa pou yo wè si li pa t'ap di Madoche anyen.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
Lè Aman wè Madoche te derefize ni mete ajenou, ni bese tèt li jouk atè devan li lè l'ap pase, li ofiske.
6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had showed him the people of Mordecai: why Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Lè li vin konnen menm se jwif Madoche te ye, li fè lide se pa Madoche sèlman l'ap pini. L'ap òganize l' pou l' touye dènye kras jwif ki nan peyi wa Asyeris la.
7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
Lè sa a, wa Asyeris t'ap mache sou douzan depi li t'ap gouvènen. Nan premye mwa a, mwa Nisan an, Aman mande yon divinò fè l' konnen ki jou ak ki mwa ki pi bon pou l' fè sa l' te vle fè a. Se konsa yo tonbe sou douzyèm mwa a, mwa Ada a.
8 And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
Lè sa a, Aman al di wa a: -Monwa, gen yon ras moun ki gaye nan tout peyi w'ap gouvènen yo, yo toupatou nan mitan pèp yo, men yo viv apa. Mès pa yo pa menm ak mès lòt pèp yo. Lèfini, yo derefize obeyi lòd ou bay yo. Li pa ta bon pou wa a fèmen je l' sou sa.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.
Si wa a ta vle, li ta bay lòd pou yo touye yo. Si wa a fè sa, m'ap ranmase twasanswasannkenz (375) tòn ajan nan men anplwaye leta yo m'a mete nan kès wa a.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
Wa a ba li kat blanch. Li wete gwo bag ki nan dwèt li a bay Aman, pitit gason Amedata, moun ras Agag la, ki pa t' vle wè jwif yo.
11 And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.
Epi wa a di l' konsa: -Mwen ba ou pèp sa a ansanm ak richès li yo. Fè sa ou vle ak yo.
12 Then were the king’s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded to the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king’s ring.
Se konsa, nan trèzyèm jou premye mwa a, Aman fè rele tout sekretè wa yo, li ba yo yon piblikasyon pou yo mete nan lang chak peyi, jan yo ekri lang lan nan peyi a. Lèfini, li bay lòd pou yo voye l' bay tout prefè wa a, tout gouvènè pwovens yo ak tout chèf lòt pèp yo. Piblikasyon an te fèt nan non wa Asyeris. Lèfini, li mete so bag wa a anba li.
13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
Yo voye mesaje kouri pote piblikasyon an nan tout peyi ki anba kòmandman wa a. Piblikasyon an te bay lòd pou lè trèzyèm jou mwa Ada a va rive, yon sèl jou a pou yo te touye tout jwif yo, granmoun kou jennmoun, fanm kou timoun. Se pou yo te masakre yo san pitye, lèfini pou yo te piye tout byen yo.
14 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published to all people, that they should be ready against that day.
Yo voye yon kopi piblikasyon an nan chak pwovens avèk lòd esprès pou yo te fè tout moun konnen pou yo pare kò yo pou jou sa a.
15 The posts went out, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
Dapre lòd wa a, mesaje yo kouri pote mesaj la nan tout pwovens yo. Yo pibliye nouvèl la tou nan lavil Souz, kapital la. Tout lavil Souz te tèt anba, wa a menm te chita ap bwè ak Aman.
