Esther 3
1 After these things King Achashyerosh promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the officials who were with him.
Apre evènman sa yo, Wa Assuérus te elve pozisyon a Haman, fis a Hammedatha a, Agagit la. Li te pouse l devan e te etabli otorite li sou tout chèf ki te avèk li yo.
2 All the king's servants who were in the King's Gate bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down or pay him homage.
Tout sèvitè a wa yo ki te nan pòtay a wa a te bese ba e te bay onè a Haman; paske, se sa wa a te kòmande pa li menm. Men Mardochée pa t bese, ni pa t bay onè.
3 Then the king's servants, who were in the King's Gate, said to Mordecai, "Why do you disobey the king's commandment?"
Alò, sèvitè a wa yo te di a Mardochée: “Poukisa w ap dezobeyi lòd a wa a?”
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Alò, li te rive ke lè yo te pale chak jou avèk li e li te refize koute yo, ke yo te pale Haman pou wè si koz a Mardochée a ta kanpe, paske li te di yo ke se yon Jwif li te ye.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
Lè Haman te wè ke Mardochée pa t bese ni ba li onè, Haman te ranpli avèk laraj.
6 But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai's people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Achashyerosh, even Mordecai's people.
Men li pa t satisfè pou mete men l sou Mardochée sèl, paske yo te fè l konnen pèp Mardochée a. Konsa, Haman te chache detwi tout Jwif yo, pèp Mardochée a, ki te toupatou nan tout wayòm Assuérus la.
7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Achashyerosh, they cast Pur (that is, the lot) before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Nan premye mwa ki se mwa Nisan an, nan douzyèm ane Wa Assuérus la, bagay Pur a, sa vle di tiraj osò a, te voye devan Haman jou apre jou e soti mwa apre mwa, jis rive nan douzyèm mwa a, sa vle di, mwa Adar a.
8 Haman said to King Achashyerosh, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people's. They do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them to remain.
Epi Haman te di a Wa Assuérus: “Genyen yon sèten pèp ki gaye toupatou pami pèp la nan tout pwovens nan wayòm ou an; lwa pa yo pa menm ak tout lòt pèp nan pwovens a wayòm ou an. Yo menm, yo pa swiv lwa a wa a, e konsa, li pa nan enterè a wa a pou kite yo rete la.
9 If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries."
Si se plezi a wa a, kite yon dekrè pibliye pou yo ta detwi, e mwen va peye di-mil talan ajan nan men a sila ki akonpli afè wa a, pou mete li nan kès a wa a.”
10 The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Konsa, wa a te retire bag so li nan men l, e te bay li a Haman, fis a Hammedatha a, Agagit la, lènmi a Jwif yo.
11 The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."
Wa a te di Haman: “Ajan an se pa w, ni pèp la, pou fè avèk yo sa ou pito.”
12 Then the king's scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the officials of every people, to every province according its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Achashyerosh, and it was sealed with the king's ring.
Konsa, grefye a wa yo te rele nan trèzyèm jou nan premye mwa a, e li te ekri jan ke Haman te kòmande a reprezantan a wa a nan tout pwovens yo, a gouvènè ki te sou chak pwovens yo e a chèf a chak pèp, chak pwovens selon ekriti pa li, chak pèp selon langaj pa li, tout sa ekri nan non Wa Assuérus e sele avèk bag so a wa a.
13 Letters were sent by couriers 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 plunder their possessions.
Lèt yo te voye pa mesaje wa yo nan tout pwovens a wa yo pou detwi, pou touye e anile tout Jwif yo, ni jèn, ni granmoun, fanm avèk timoun, nan yon sèl jou, nan trèzyèm jou a douzyèm mwa a, ki se mwa Adar a, e pou sezi tout byen pa yo kon piyaj.
14 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
Yon kopi a dekrè a te dwe sikile kon lwa nan chak pwovens e te pibliye a tout pèp yo pou yo ta prepare pou jou sa a.
15 The couriers went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
Mesaje wa yo te sòti, ranfòse pa dekrè a wa a, pandan dekrè a te pibliye nan sitadèl Suse la. Wa a avèk Haman te chita ansanm pou bwè, men lavil Suse te twouble.
