Esther 3
1 After these things, King Ahasuerus promoted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and placed his seat of authority above all the officials who 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 All the king's servants who were at the king's gate always knelt and prostrated themselves to Haman, as the king had ordered them to do. But Mordecai neither knelt nor prostrated himself.
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 who were at the king's gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king's command?”
Lòt anplwaye yo mande Madoche poukisa li t'ap dezobeyi lòd wa a te bay la.
4 They spoke with him day after day, but he refused to comply with their demands. So they spoke with Haman to see if the matter about Mordecai would remain like that, 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 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not kneel and bow down to him, Haman was filled with rage.
Lè Aman wè Madoche te derefize ni mete ajenou, ni bese tèt li jouk atè devan li lè l'ap pase, li ofiske.
6 He had contempt for the idea of killing only Mordecai, for the king's servants had told him who Mordecai's people were. Haman wanted to exterminate all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were in the entire kingdom of Ahasuerus.
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 (which is the month of Nisan), in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, the Pur—that is the lot—was thrown before Haman, to select a day and month. They cast the lot over and over until the lot fell on the twelfth month (which is the month of 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 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and distributed among all the provinces of your kingdom. Their laws are different from those of other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so it is not suitable for the king to let them stay.
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, give a command to kill them, and I will weigh out ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, for them to put it into the king's treasury.”
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 Then the king took the signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
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 The king said to Haman, “I will see that the money is given back to you and your people. You will do with it whatever you wish.”
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 the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree containing all that Haman had commanded was written to the king's provincial governors, those who were over all the provinces, to the governors of all the various peoples, and to the officials of all the people, to every province in their own writing, and to every people in their own language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and was sealed with his 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 Documents were hand-delivered by couriers to all the king's provinces, to annihilate, kill, and destroy all Jews, from young to old, children and women, in one day—on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (which is the month of Adar)—and to plunder their possessions.
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 A copy of the letter was made law in every province. In every province it was made known to all the people that they should prepare for this 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 couriers went out and hurried to distribute the king's order. The decree was also distributed within the fortress of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in turmoil.
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.
