Esther 3
1 After these things hath the king Ahasuerus exalted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and lifteth him up, and setteth his throne above all the heads who [are] 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 and all servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, are bowing and doing obeisance to Haman, for so hath the king commanded for him; and Mordecai doth not bow nor do obeisance.
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 And the servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, say to Mordecai, 'Wherefore [art] thou transgressing the command of the king?'
Lòt anplwaye yo mande Madoche poukisa li t'ap dezobeyi lòd wa a te bay la.
4 And it cometh to pass, in their speaking unto him, day by day, and he hath not hearkened unto them, that they declare [it] to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai do stand, for he hath declared to them that he [is] 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 And Haman seeth that Mordecai is not bowing and doing obeisance to him, and Haman is full of fury,
Lè Aman wè Madoche te derefize ni mete ajenou, ni bese tèt li jouk atè devan li lè l'ap pase, li ofiske.
6 and it is contemptible in his eyes to put forth a hand on Mordecai by himself, for they have declared to him the people of Mordecai, and Haman seeketh to destroy all the Jews who [are] in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus — the people of Mordecai.
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 — it [is] the month of Nisan — in the twelfth year of the king Ahasuerus, hath one caused to fall Pur (that [is] the lot) before Haman, from day to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth, it [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 And Haman saith to the king Ahasuerus, 'There is one people scattered and separated among the peoples, in all provinces of thy kingdom, and their laws [are] diverse from all people, and the laws of the king they are not doing, and for the king it is not profitable to suffer them;
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 to the king [it be] good, let it be written to destroy them, and ten thousand talents of silver I weigh into the hands of those doing the work, to bring [it] in unto the treasuries of the king.'
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 And the king turneth aside his signet from off his hand, and giveth it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary 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 and the king saith to Haman, 'The silver is given to thee, and the people, to do with it as [it is] good in thine eyes.'
Epi wa a di l' konsa: -Mwen ba ou pèp sa a ansanm ak richès li yo. Fè sa ou vle ak yo.
12 And scribes of the king are called, on the first month, on the thirteenth day of it, and it is written according to all that Haman hath commanded, unto lieutenants of the king, and unto the governors who [are] over province and province, and unto the heads of people and people, province and province, according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, in the name of the king Ahasuerus it hath been written and sealed with the signet of the king,
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 and letters to be sent by the hand of the runners unto all provinces of the king, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy all the Jews, from young even unto old, infant and women, on one day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month — it [is] the month of Adar — and their spoil to seize,
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 writing to be made law in every province and province is revealed to all the peoples, to be ready 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 runners have gone forth, hastened by the word of the king, and the law hath been given in Shushan the palace, and the king and Haman have sat down to drink, and the city Shushan is perplexed.
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.
