Esther 2
1 After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of King Ahasuerus, he has remembered Vashti, and that which she did, and that which has been decreed concerning her;
Apre bagay sa yo, lè kòlè a Wa Assuérus te vin kalme, li te sonje Vasthi ak sa li te fè a, e dekrè ki te fèt kont li an.
2 and servants of the king, his ministers, say, “Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance,
Alò, asistan a wa a ki te sèvi li yo, te di: “Annou fè rechèch pou jwenn jenn vyèj ki byen bèl pou wa a.
3 and the king appoints inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman—virgin, of good appearance—to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, to the hand of Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications,
Kite wa a apwente sipèvizè nan tout pwovens a wayòm li yo pou yo kab rasanble tout bèl vyèj pou vin parèt nan sitadèl Suse la, antre nan kay fanm a wa a ki sou kontwòl Hégué a, enik a wa a, ki an chaj fanm yo. Kite yo byen prepare ak tout bagay pou fè yo bèl yo.
4 and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king reigns instead of Vashti”; and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he does so.
Alò, kite jenn fi ki bay wa a plezi a, vin regne la nan plas a Vasthi a.” Koze a te fè wa a kontan e se konsa li te fè l.
5 A man, a Jew, there has been in Shushan the palace, and his name [is] Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite—
Te gen nan sitadèl Suse la, yon Jwif ki te rele Mardochée, fis a Jaïr, fis a Schimeï, fis a Kis, yon Benjamit,
6 who had been removed from Jerusalem with the expulsion that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed—
ki te ale an egzil soti Jérusalem avèk kaptif ki te ekzile avèk Jeconia yo, wa Juda ke Nebudkanetsar, wa Babylone nan, te fè ekzile a.
7 and he is supporting Hadassah—she [is] Esther—daughter of his uncle, for she has neither father nor mother, and the young woman [is] of beautiful form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother Mordecai has taken her to himself for a daughter.
Li t ap elve Hadassa, sa vle di, Esther, fi a tonton li an, paske li pa t gen papa ni manman. Alò, jenn demwazèl la te byen bèl sou fòm ni figi li e lè papa li avèk manman li te mouri, Mardochée te pran li kon pwòp fi pa li.
8 And it comes to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered to Shushan the palace, to the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken to the house of the king, to the hand of Hegai, keeper of the women,
Konsa, li te vin rive ke lè kòmand avèk dekrè a wa a te tande e anpil jèn fi te ranmase nan sitadèl Suse la sou sipèvizyon a Hégaï, ke Esther te pran pou antre nan palè a wa a, anba sipèvizyon a Hégaï, ki te responsab fanm yo.
9 and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receives kindness before him, and he hurries her purifications and her portions—to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided—to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changes her and her young women to a good [place in] the house of the women.
Alò, jèn fi a te fè l plezi e te twouve favè devan l. Pou sa, li te bay li tout atik twalèt avèk manje san fè reta, e li te ba li sèt sèvant de chwa nan palè a wa a, e te voye li avèk sèvant li yo nan pi bon kote pami fanm a wa yo.
10 Esther has not declared her people, and her family, for Mordecai has laid a charge on her that she does not declare [it];
Esther pa t fè pèsòn konnen ras pèp li a ni fanmi li yo, paske Mardochée te enstwi li pou li pa ta dwe fè sa rekonèt.
11 and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is done with her.
Chak jou, Mardochée te mache ale retou devan lakou fanm a wa yo pou vin aprann jan Esther te ye ak jan afè l t ap mache.
12 And in the drawing near of the turn of each young woman to come in to King Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her—according to the law of the women—twelve months, for so they fulfill the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes, and with the purifications of women,
Alò, lè chans a chak jèn demwazèl te vin rive pou antre kote wa Assuérus la, lè l te fin fè preparasyon douz mwa anba règleman pou fanm yo—paske jou pou konplete preparasyon bèlte yo te fini konsa: si mwa avèk lwil lami a, e si mwa avèk aplikasyon epis ak pafen pou fanm—
13 and with this the young woman has come in to the king, all that she says is given to her to go in with her out of the house of the women to the house of the king;
Men kòman jèn fi a ta antre kote wa a: nenpòt bagay ke li te dezire, ta bay a li menm pou pran avè l soti lakay fanm yo pou rive nan palè a wa a.
14 in the evening she has gone in, and in the morning she has turned back to the second house of the women, to the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she does not come in anymore to the king except the king has delighted in her, and she has been called by name.
Nan aswè, li ta ale ladann e nan maten, li ta retounen nan dezyèm kay fanm yo, sou responsabilite Schaaschgaz, enik a wa a ki te an chaj konkibin a wa yo. Li pa t antre kote wa a ankò sof ke wa a te kontan anpil avèk li e te rele li eksprè pa non l.
15 And in the drawing near of the turn of Esther—daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to himself for a daughter—to come in to the king, she has not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, says, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing her.
Alò lè lè pou Esther, fi de Abichaïl la, tonton li, Mardochée, ki te pran li kon pwòp pitit pa li, te rive antre kote wa a, li pa t mande anyen sof ke sa ke Hégaï, enik a wa a ki te an chaj fanm yo, te konseye yo. Epi Esther te jwenn favè nan zye a tout moun ki te wè l yo.
16 And Esther is taken to King Ahasuerus, to his royal house, in the tenth month—it [is] the month of Tebeth—in the seventh year of his reign,
Pou sa, Esther te mennen vè Wa Assuérus nan palè wayal li a nan dezyèm mwa ki nan mwa Tébeth la, nan setyèm ane pouvwa li a.
17 and the king loves Esther above all the women, and she receives grace and kindness before him above all the virgins, and he sets a royal crown on her head, and causes her to reign instead of Vashti,
Wa a te renmen Esther plis pase tout fanm yo, e li te twouve gras avèk favè devan li menm plis pase tout lòt vyèj yo, jiskaske li te mete kouwòn wayal la sou tèt li e te fè li rèn nan plas a Vasthi a.
18 and the king makes a great banquet to all his heads and his servants—the banquet of Esther—and has made a release to the provinces, and gives gifts as a memorial of the king.
Epi wa a te bay yon gran bankè pou tout chèf li yo ak sèvitè li yo. Li te rele l bankè Esther. Li te pwokame l yon jou fèt pou pwovens yo, epi li te bay yo kado selon jenewozite a wa a.
19 And in the virgins being gathered a second time, then Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king;
Lè vyèj yo te reyini ansanm yon dezyèm fwa a, alò, Mardochée t ap chita nan pòtay a wa a.
20 Esther is not declaring her family and her people, as Mordecai has laid a charge on her, and the saying of Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him.
Esther potko fè yo konnen fanmi li yo, ni pèp li a, jis jan ke Mardochée te bay li lòd fè a, jis jan li te fè lè se te li ki t ap swaye li a.
21 In those days, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king, has Bigthan been angry, and Teresh (two of the eunuchs of the king, the keepers of the threshold), and they seek to put forth a hand on King Ahasuerus,
Nan jou sa yo, pandan Mardochée te chita nan pòtay palè a wa a, Bigthan avèk Théresch, de ofisye a wa yo ki t ap veye pòt la, te vin fache, e te chache mete men sou wa Assuérus.
22 and the thing is known to Mordecai, and he declares [it] to Esther the queen, and Esther speaks to the king in the name of Mordecai,
Men konplo a te vin rekonèt pa Mardochée e li te pale rèn Esther, e Esther te pale wa a nan non a Mardochée.
23 and the thing is sought out, and found, and both of them are hanged on a tree, and it is written in the scroll of the Chronicles before the king.
Alò, lè yo fè rechèch nan konplo a e jwenn bout li, yo tou de te pann sou yon bwa; epi sa te ekri nan Liv Achiv Kwonik Yo nan prezans wa a.
