Esther 5
1 And it cometh to pass on the third day, that Esther putteth on royalty, and standeth in the inner-court of the house of the king over-against the house of the king, and the king is sitting on his royal throne, in the royal-house, over-against the opening of the house,
Alò, li te vin rive nan twazyèm jou ke Esther te mete sou li vètman wayal la, e te kanpe nan lakou enteryè a palè wa a devan chanm wa yo, e wa a te chita sou twòn wayal li a nan chanm twòn anfas antre pale a.
2 and it cometh to pass, at the king's seeing Esther the queen standing in the court, she hath received grace in his eyes, and the king holdeth out to Esther the golden sceptre that [is] in his hand, and Esther draweth near, and toucheth the top of the sceptre.
Lè wa a te wè Esther, rèn nan, te kanpe nan lakou a, li te twouve favè nan zye li. Konsa, wa a te lonje baton a wa a fèt an lò ki te nan men l lan, vè Esther. Pou sa, Esther te pwoche pre pou te touche pwent an wo baton an.
3 And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee Esther, O queen? and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom — and it is given to thee.'
Epi wa a te di li: “Se kisa ki twouble ou, rèn Esther? Epi se kisa ke w ap mande? Menm jis mwatye wayòm mwen, li va bay a ou menm.”
4 And Esther saith, 'If unto the king [it be] good, the king doth come in, and Haman, to-day, unto the banquet that I have made for him;'
Esther te di: “Si sa fè wa a plezi, ke wa a avèk Haman kapab vini nan menm jou sa a nan yon bankè ke m gen tan prepare pou li.”
5 and the king saith, 'Haste ye Haman — to do the word of Esther;' and the king cometh in, and Haman, unto the banquet that Esther hath made.
Alò wa a te di: “Mennen Haman byen vit pou nou kapab fè kon Esther vle a.” Konsa, wa a avèk Haman te vini nan bankè ke Esther te prepare a.
6 And the king saith to Esther, during the banquet of wine, 'What [is] thy petition? and it is given to thee; and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom — and it is done.'
Pandan yo t ap bwè diven nan bankè a, wa a te di a Esther: “Se ki petisyon ke ou ap fè a, paske li va bay a ou menm. Kisa menm ou ap mande a? Menm jis mwatye wayòm nan, li va fèt.”
7 And Esther answereth and saith, 'My petition and my request [is]:
Konsa, Esther te reponn: “Men petisyon mwen an e sa ke m mande a:
8 if I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if unto the king [it be] good, to give my petition, and to perform my request, the king doth come, and Haman, unto the banquet that I make for them, and to-morrow I do according to the word of the king.'
Si mwen twouve favè nan zye a wa a, e si sa fè l plezi pou ban mwen petisyon mwen an, e fè sa ke m mande a, ke wa a avèk Haman kapab parèt nan bankè ke m va prepare pou yo a, e demen mwen va fè selon sa ke wa a mande a.”
9 And Haman goeth forth on that day rejoicing and glad in heart, and at Haman's seeing Mordecai in the gate of the king, and he hath not risen nor moved for him, then is Haman full of fury against Mordecai.
Alò, Haman te sòti nan jou sa a byen kontan avèk rejwisans nan kè l, men lè li te wè Mardochée nan pòtal palè a wa a, e te wè li pa t leve, ni tranble devan l, konsa, Haman te ranpli avèk laraj kont Mardochée.
10 And Haman forceth himself, and cometh in unto his house, and sendeth, and bringeth in his friends, and Zeresh his wife,
Haman te kontwole tèt li menm malgre sa e te ale lakay li pou te voye chache zanmi li yo avèk madanm li, Zérescha.
11 and Haman recounteth to them the glory of his wealth, and the abundance of his sons, and all that with which the king made him great, and with which he lifted him up above the heads and servants of the king.
Alò, Haman te rakonte yo glwa a richès li, fòs kantite petit li yo, chak moman ke wa a te leve li, e te fè l monte pi wo chèf avèk sèvitè a wa a.
12 And Haman saith, 'Yea, Esther the queen brought none in with the king, unto the feast that she made, except myself, and also for to-morrow I am called to her, with the king,
Anplis, Haman te di: “Menm Esther, rèn nan pa t kite lòt moun sof ke mwen menm vini avèk wa a nan bankè ke li te prepare a; epi demen, ankò, mwen envite pa li menm avèk wa a.
13 and all this is not profitable to me, during all the time that I am seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting in the gate of the king.'
Malgre tout sa, mwen vin pa kontan chak fwa ke m wè Mardochée, Jwif ki chita nan pòtay a wa a.”
14 And Zeresh his wife saith to him, and all his friends, 'Let them prepare a tree, in height fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, and they hang Mordecai on it, and go thou in with the king unto the banquet rejoicing;' and the thing is good before Haman, and he prepareth the tree.
Epi Zéresch, madanm li an, te di li: “Fè yo prepare yon wo etaj senkant koude nan wotè, e demen maten, mande wa a pou pann Mardochée ladann. Epi apre, ale nan bankè a avèk jwa.” Konsèy la te fè Haman byen kontan e li te fè yo prepare etaj la.
