Esther 8
1 On that day has King Ahasuerus given to Esther the queen the house of Haman, adversary of the Jews, and Mordecai has come in before the king, for Esther has declared what he [is] to 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 turns aside his signet, that he has caused to pass away from Haman, and gives it to Mordecai, and Esther sets Mordecai over 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 Esther adds, and speaks before the king, and falls before his feet, and weeps, and makes supplication to him, to cause the evil of Haman the Agagite to pass away, and his scheme that he had devised against the Jews;
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 holds out to Esther the golden scepter, and Esther rises, and stands before the king,
Wa a te lonje baton an lò a vè Esther. Konsa, Esther te leve kanpe devan wa a.
5 and says, “If to the king [it be] good, and if I have found grace before him, and the thing has been right before the king, and I [am] good in his eyes, let it be written to bring back the letters—a scheme of Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite—that he wrote to destroy the Jews who [are] in all provinces of the king,
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 do I endure when I have looked on the evil that finds my people? And how do I endure when I have looked on the destruction of my family?”
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 King Ahasuerus says to Esther the queen, and to Mordecai the Jew, “Behold, the house of Haman I have given to Esther, and him they have hanged on the tree, because that he put forth his hand on the Jews,
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 and you, write for the Jews, as [it is] good in your eyes, in the name of the king, and seal with the signet of the king—for the writing that is written in the name of the king, and sealed with the signet of the king, there is none to turn back.”
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 And the scribes of the king are called, at that time, in the third month—it [is] the month of Sivan—in the twenty-third [day] of it, and it is written, according to all that Mordecai has commanded, to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the governors, and the heads of the provinces, that [are] from Hodu even to Cush, one hundred twenty-seven provinces—province and province according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their tongue.
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 he writes in the name of King Ahasuerus, and seals with the signet of the king, and sends letters by the hand of the runners with horses, riders of the dromedary, the mules, the young 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 that the king has given to the Jews who [are] in each and every city, to be assembled, and to stand for their life, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy the whole force of the people and province who are distressing them, infants and women, and their spoil to seize.
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 In one day, in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month—it [is] the month of 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 a copy of the writing to be made law in each and every province is revealed to all the peoples, and for the Jews being ready at this day to be avenged of 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 The runners, riding on the dromedary, [and] the mules, have gone out, hurried and pressed by the word of the king, and the law has been given in 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 before the king, in royal clothing of blue and white, and a great crown of gold, and a garment of fine linen and purple, and the city of Shushan has rejoiced and been 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 to the Jews has been light, and gladness, and joy, and honor,
Pou Jwif yo, te gen limyè, kè kontan, lajwa avèk lonè.
17 and in each and every province, and in each and every city, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, gladness and joy [are] to the Jews, a banquet, and a good day; and many of the peoples of the land are becoming Jews, for a fear of the Jews has fallen on 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.
