Estè 7
1 Wa a te al nan fèt larenn Estè a ankò ansanm ak Aman.
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 Pandan yo t'ap bwè diven, wa a mande Estè, tankou premye jou a: -Di m' sa ou vle, m'ap ba ou li. Ou te mèt mande m' mwatye nan peyi a, m'ap ba ou li!
And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall he granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
3 Estè reponn li: -Si wa a kontan avè m', si se plezi li pou li ban mwen sa m' vle a, tanpri, sove lavi m' ansanm ak lavi pèp mwen an. Se sa ase mwen mande ou.
Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4 Paske yo vann nou, mwen menm ansanm ak tout pèp mwen an, pou yo ka masakre nou, touye nou, disparèt nou nèt. Si se vann yo te vann nou pou fè nou tounen esklav, mwen pa ta di anyen, mwen pa ta deranje ou pou sa ase. Men, moun ki pa vle wè nou an p'ap janm ka ranplase pèt l'ap fè ou fè a.
for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s damage.
5 Wa Asyeris mande larenn Estè: -Ki moun ki penmèt li gen lide fè bagay konsa? Kote moun lan?
Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
6 Estè reponn li: -Moun ki pa vle wè nou an, moun k'ap pèsekite nou an, se Aman, mechan sa a! Aman dekare, li pran tranble devan wa a ak larenn lan.
And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 Wa a leve bò tab la byen move, li soti deyò al nan jaden palè a. Aman te konnen wa a tapral pini l' pou sa l' fè a. Li rete pou l' mande larenn lan fè pa l'.
And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine [and went] into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 Aman te fèk panche kò l' sou divan Estè a pou mande l' padon lè wa a tounen antre soti nan jaden an. Lè wa a wè sa, li di: -Koulye a, apa nonm lan soti pou li fè kadejak sou larenn Estè, l'a devan je m', nan mitan lakay mwen an! Wa a poko fin pale, nèg konfyans yo gen tan kouvri tèt Aman.
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9 Yonn ladan yo ki te rele Abona, di konsa: -Aman te menm gen tan fè kanpe yon poto nan lakou lakay li pou l' te pann Madoche ki te sove lavi wa a. Poto a gen swasannkenz pye wotè. Wa a bay lòd pou yo pann Aman ladan l'.
Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 Se konsa yo pann Aman nan poto li te pare pou Madoche a. Apre sa, kòlè wa a tonbe.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
