Esther 9
1 And in the twelfth month—it [is] the month of Adar—on the thirteenth day of it, in which the word of the king, even his law, has come to be done, in the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to rule over them, and it is turned that the Jews rule over those hating them—
Trèzyèm jou nan douzyèm mwa a, mwa Ada a, rive. Se te jou pou yo te fè sa wa a te bay lòd fè a. Se te jou moun ki pa t' vle wè jwif yo t'ap tann pou yo te kraze yo. Men, sa ki pou te rive jou sa a, se pa sa ki rive. Se jwif yo ki kraze moun ki te rayi yo.
2 the Jews have been assembled in their cities, in all provinces of King Ahasuerus, to put forth a hand on those seeking their evil, and no man has stood in their presence, for their fear has fallen on all the peoples.
Nan tout pwovens peyi wa Asyeris la, jwif yo reyini nan katye yo nan chak lavil. Yo òganize yo pou yo atake tout moun ki te vle fè yo mal. Pèsonn pa t' ka kenbe tèt ak yo. Tout moun te pè yo.
3 And all heads of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the governors, and those doing the work that the king has, are lifting up the Jews, for a fear of Mordecai has fallen on them;
Sa ki pi rèd, tout gouvènè yo, tout prefè yo ak tout anplwaye leta yo nan tout pwovens yo te pran pou jwif yo, paske yo te pè Madoche anpil.
4 for great [is] Mordecai in the house of the king, and his fame is going into all the provinces, for the man Mordecai is going on and becoming great.
Nan tout peyi a, tout moun te konnen jan Madoche te yon grannèg nan palè wa a, chak jou li te vin gen plis pouvwa.
5 And the Jews strike among all their enemies—a striking of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction—and do with those hating them according to their pleasure,
Jwif yo tonbe sou tout lènmi yo ak kout nepe. Yo touye yo, yo masakre yo. Yo fè sa yo vle ak moun ki pa t' vle wè yo.
6 and in Shushan the palace the Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men;
Nan lavil Souz, kapital la menm, yo touye, yo masakre senksan (500) moun.
7 and Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Nan moun yo touye yo te gen dis pitit gason Aman yo: Pachandat, Dalfon, Aspata,
8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Porata, Adalya, Aridata,
9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
Pamachta, Arisayi, Aridayi ak Vayzata.
10 ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, adversary of the Jews, they have slain, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.
Se te pitit gason Aman yo, pitit pitit Amedata a, moun ki pa t' vle wè jwif yo. Men, jwif yo pa t' pran anyen lakay moun yo.
11 On that day has come the number of the slain in Shushan the palace before the king,
Jou sa a, yo fè wa a konnen jwif yo te touye senksan (500) moun nan lavil Souz, kapital la.
12 and the king says to Esther the queen, “In Shushan the palace the Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman; in the rest of the provinces of the king what have they done? And what [is] your petition? And it is given to you; and what your request again? And it is done.”
Wa a di larenn Estè konsa: -Nan lavil Souz ase, jwif yo touye senksan (500) moun. Nan moun sa yo te gen dis pitit gason Aman yo. Nou pa bezwen mande sa yo fè nan pwovens yo. Kisa ou vle koulye a? M'ap ba ou li. Di m' kisa ou vle m' fè, m'ap fè l'.
13 And Esther says, “If [it is] good to the king, let it also be given tomorrow, to the Jews who [are] in Shushan, to do according to the law of today; and the ten sons of Haman they hang on the tree.”
Estè reponn li: -Si sa fè monwa plezi, li ta bay jwif ki nan lavil Souz yo otorizasyon pou denmen yo fè menm jan yo te fè jòdi a. Lèfini, pou yo pann kadav dis pitit gason Aman yo sou plas piblik.
14 And the king commands [for it] to be done so; and a law is given in Shushan, and they have hanged the ten sons of Haman.
Wa a bay lòd pou yo fè sa vre. Yo fè piblikasyon nan tout lavil Souz, epi yo pann kadav dis pitit gason Aman yo sou plas piblik.
15 And the Jews who [are] in Shushan are also assembled on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they slay three hundred men in Shushan, and they have not put forth their hand on the prey.
Nan katòzyèm jou moun Ada a, jwif lavil Souz yo reyini ankò epi yo touye twasan (300) moun nan lavil la. Men, lè sa a tou, yo pa t' pran anyen nan zafè moun yo.
16 And the rest of the Jews, who [are] in the provinces of the king, have been assembled, even to stand for their life, and to rest from their enemies, and to slay seventy-five thousand among those hating them, and they have not put forth their hand on the prey;
Nan pwovens yo menm, jwif yo te òganize yo pou defann tèt yo. Yo fè lènmi yo ba yo lapè, yo touye swasannkenzmil (75.000) moun ki pa t' vle wè yo. Men, yo menm tou yo pa t' pran anyen nan zafè moun yo.
17 on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, even to rest on the fourteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
Tou sa pase nan trèzyèm jou mwa Ada a. Nan denmen, ki vle di nan katòzyèm jou mwa a, jwif nan pwovens yo pa t' touye yon moun ankò. Se te jou yo t'ap fè fèt, jou yo t'ap pran plezi yo.
18 And the Jews who [are] in Shushan have been assembled, on the thirteenth day of it, and on the fourteenth of it, even to rest on the fifteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
Men, jwif lavil Souz yo te pran de jou, trèzyèm jou ak katòzyèm jou nan mwa Ada a, pou yo te touye lènmi yo. Nan kenzyèm jou mwa a, yo pa t' touye yon moun ankò. Se jou sa a yo te fè fèt, se jou sa a yo t'ap pran plezi yo.
19 Therefore the Jews of the open places, who are dwelling in cities of the open places, are making the fourteenth day of the month of Adar—joy and banquet, and a good day, and of sending portions to one another.
Se poutèt sa, jwif k'ap viv nan ti bouk yo, ki gaye nan tout pwovens yo, pran katòzyèm jou mwa Ada a pou yon jou fèt, jou pou fè kè yo kontan, jou pou yo pa travay. Se jou sa a yonn voye kado bay lòt.
20 And Mordecai writes these things, and sends letters to all the Jews who [are] in all provinces of King Ahasuerus, who are near and who are far off,
Madoche fè ekri tout bagay sa yo, lèfini li voye lèt bay tout jwif ki te nan pwovens peyi wa Asyeris la, kit yo te pre, kit yo te lwen.
21 to establish on them, to be keeping the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day of it, in every year and year,
Li voye di yo pou yo te toujou pran de jou sa yo, katòzyèm ak kenzyèm jou nan mwa Ada a, pou jou fèt chak lanne.
22 as days on which the Jews have rested from their enemies, and the month that has been turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of banquet and of joy, and of sending portions to one another, and gifts to the needy.
Se jou sa yo jwif yo te fè lènmi yo ba yo lapè. Se mwa sa a sitiyasyon an te chanje pou yo: yo te sispann gen lapenn, kè yo te kontan. Yo pa t' dekouraje, yo t'ap fè fèt. Se pou yo te make jou sa yo tankou jou pou fè fèt ak gwo resepsyon. Jou sa a, se pou yo voye kado yonn bay lòt, se pou yo bay pòv yo kado tou.
23 And the Jews have received that which they had begun to do, and that which Mordecai has written to them,
Se konsa, jwif yo pran abitid mete jou sa yo apa, jan yo te konmanse fè l' la, dapre sa Madoche te ekri yo.
24 because Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of all the Jews, had devised concerning the Jews to destroy them, and had caused to fall Pur—that [is] the lot—to crush them and to destroy them;
Aman, pitit gason Amedata, moun laras Agag, moun ki pa t' vle wè jwif yo, te fè lide disparèt yo. Li te mande yon divinò fè l' konnen ki jou ki ta pi bon pou detwi yo, pou masakre yo.
25 and in her coming in before the king, he commanded with the letter, “Let his evil scheme that he devised against the Jews return on his own head,” and they have hanged him and his sons on the tree,
Men, lè Estè al di wa a sa, wa a bay yon lòt lòd. Se konsa malè Aman t'ap pare pou jwif yo, se sou pwòp tèt li li tonbe. Yo pann ni li ni pitit gason l' yo byen wo sou plas piblik.
26 therefore they have called these days Purim—by the name of the lot—therefore, because of all the words of this letter, and what they have seen concerning this, and what has come to them,
Se poutèt sa yo rele jou fèt sa yo: Pourim, dapre yon mo ansyen ki vle di: chans. Konsa, dapre sa ki te nan lèt Madoche te voye ba yo a, lèfini poutèt sa yo te wè ki te rive yo,
27 the Jews have established and received on them, and on their seed, and on all those joined to them, and it does not pass away, to be keeping these two days according to their writing, and according to their season, in every year and year;
jwif yo make dat sa a pou yo toujou fè fèt jou sa yo. Yo pran angajman pou yo, pou pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo, ak pou tout moun ki ta vle fè yo jwif, pou chak lanne lè de jou sa yo rive pou yo toujou fè fèt jan Madoche te ekri l' la.
28 and these days are remembered and kept in every generation and generation, family and family, province and province, and city and city, and these days of Purim do not pass away from the midst of the Jews, and their memorial is not ended from their seed.
Yo bay lòd pou tout jwif yo, nan tout branch fanmi, nan tout lavil, nan tout peyi toujou chonje jou sa yo pou yo fè gwo fèt lè sa a, depi sa ki la koulye a jouk ras la va kaba. Se pou jwif yo make jou chans sa yo, pou yo pa janm bliye yo, lèfini pou pitit pitit yo ka toujou chonje jou sa yo.
29 And Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, writes, and Mordecai the Jew, with all might, to establish this second letter of Purim,
Apre sa, larenn Estè, pitit fi Abikayil la, mete tèt ansanm ak Madoche, li ekri yon lèt pou di jan li dakò. Se konsa, li bay premye lèt Madoche te ekri sou jou chans sa yo plis fòs toujou.
30 and he sends letters to all the Jews, to the one hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus—words of peace and truth—
Yo voye lèt la bay tout jwif nan sanvennsèt (127) pwovens peyi wa Asyeris la. Lèt la te mande pou jwif yo te viv ak kè poze san fè kont.
31 to establish these days of Purim, in their seasons, as Mordecai the Jew has established on them, and Esther the queen, and as they had established on themselves, and on their seed—matters of the fastings, and of their cry.
Lèfini, li mande yo pou ni yo ni pitit yo, ni pitit pitit yo, pou yo toujou fete jou chans sa yo lè dat la rive, jan Madoche ak larenn Estè te bay lòd la, menm jan yo te swiv lòd yo te bay pou fè jèn epi pou yo te leve men yo nan syèl pou plenn sò yo.
32 And a saying of Esther has established these matters of Purim, and it is written in the Scroll.
Yo pran lèt larenn Estè te ekri pou bay regleman jou chans sa yo plis fòs la, yo ekri l' nan liv la.
