Estè 2
1 Apre bagay sa yo, lè kòlè a Wa Assuérus te vin kalme, li te sonje Vasthi ak sa li te fè a, e dekrè ki te fèt kont li an.
Therfor whanne these thingis weren doon, aftir that the indignacioun of kyng Assuerus was coold, he bithouyte of Vasthi, and what thingis sche hadde do, ethir what thingis sche suffride.
2 Alò, asistan a wa a ki te sèvi li yo, te di: “Annou fè rechèch pou jwenn jenn vyèj ki byen bèl pou wa a.
And the children and the mynystris of the kyng seiden to `the kyng, Damyselis, virgyns `and faire, be souyt to the kyng; and `men ben sent,
3 Kite wa a apwente sipèvizè nan tout pwovens a wayòm li yo pou yo kab rasanble tout bèl vyèj pou vin parèt nan sitadèl Suse la, antre nan kay fanm a wa a ki sou kontwòl Hégué a, enik a wa a, ki an chaj fanm yo. Kite yo byen prepare ak tout bagay pou fè yo bèl yo.
that schulen biholde bi alle prouinces damesels faire and virgyns; and brynge thei hem to the citee Susa, and bitake thei in to the hows of wymmen, vndur the hond of Egei, the onest seruaunt and chast, which is the souereyn and kepere of the kyngis wymmen; and take the damesels ournement of wymmen, and other thingis nedeful to vsis.
4 Alò, kite jenn fi ki bay wa a plezi a, vin regne la nan plas a Vasthi a.” Koze a te fè wa a kontan e se konsa li te fè l.
And which euer damesele among alle plesith the iyen of the kyng, regne sche for Vasti. The word pleside the kyng; and he comaundide to be don so, as thei counceliden.
5 Te gen nan sitadèl Suse la, yon Jwif ki te rele Mardochée, fis a Jaïr, fis a Schimeï, fis a Kis, yon Benjamit,
Forsothe a man, a Jew, was in the citee Susa, Mardoche bi name, the sone of Jair, sone of Semei, sone of Cys, of the generacioun of Gemyny;
6 ki te ale an egzil soti Jérusalem avèk kaptif ki te ekzile avèk Jeconia yo, wa Juda ke Nebudkanetsar, wa Babylone nan, te fè ekzile a.
that was translatid fro Jerusalem in that tyme, wherynne Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, hadde translatid Jechonye, kyng of Juda;
7 Li t ap elve Hadassa, sa vle di, Esther, fi a tonton li an, paske li pa t gen papa ni manman. Alò, jenn demwazèl la te byen bèl sou fòm ni figi li e lè papa li avèk manman li te mouri, Mardochée te pran li kon pwòp fi pa li.
which Mardoche was the nurschere of Edissa, the douyter of his brothir, which douytir was clepid Hester bi anothir name, and sche hadde lost bothe fadir and modir; sche was ful fair, and semeli of face; and whanne hir fadir and modir weren deed, Mardoche `purchaside hir in to a douytir to hymsilf.
8 Konsa, li te vin rive ke lè kòmand avèk dekrè a wa a te tande e anpil jèn fi te ranmase nan sitadèl Suse la sou sipèvizyon a Hégaï, ke Esther te pran pou antre nan palè a wa a, anba sipèvizyon a Hégaï, ki te responsab fanm yo.
And whanne the comaundement of the kyng was ofte pupplischid, and bi his comaundement many faire virgyns weren brouyt to Susa, and weren bitakun to Egey, the onest seruaunt and chast, also Hester among othere damesels was bytakun to hym, that sche schulde be kept in the noumbre of wymmen.
9 Alò, jèn fi a te fè l plezi e te twouve favè devan l. Pou sa, li te bay li tout atik twalèt avèk manje san fè reta, e li te ba li sèt sèvant de chwa nan palè a wa a, e te voye li avèk sèvant li yo nan pi bon kote pami fanm a wa yo.
And sche pleside hym, and foond grace in his siyt, that he hastide the ournement of wymmen, and bitook to hir her partis, and seuene the faireste damesels of the kyngis hows; and he ournede and araiede bothe hir and damesels suynge hir feet.
10 Esther pa t fè pèsòn konnen ras pèp li a ni fanmi li yo, paske Mardochée te enstwi li pou li pa ta dwe fè sa rekonèt.
And `sche nolde schewe to hym hir puple and hir cuntrei; for Mardoche hadde comaundid to hir, that in al maner sche schulde be stille of this thing.
11 Chak jou, Mardochée te mache ale retou devan lakou fanm a wa yo pou vin aprann jan Esther te ye ak jan afè l t ap mache.
And he walkide ech dai bifor the porche of the dore, in which the chosun virgyns weren kept, and he dide the cure of the helthe of Hester, and wolde wite, what bifelde to hyr.
12 Alò, lè chans a chak jèn demwazèl te vin rive pou antre kote wa Assuérus la, lè l te fin fè preparasyon douz mwa anba règleman pou fanm yo—paske jou pou konplete preparasyon bèlte yo te fini konsa: si mwa avèk lwil lami a, e si mwa avèk aplikasyon epis ak pafen pou fanm—
And whanne the tyme of alle damesels bi ordre was comun, that thei schulden entre to the kyng, whanne alle thingis weren fillid that perteyneden to wymmens atire, the tweluethe monethe was turned; so oneli that thei weren anoyntid with oile of `myrte tre bi sixe monethis, and bi othere sixe monethis `thei vsiden summe pymentis and swete-smellynge oynementis.
13 Men kòman jèn fi a ta antre kote wa a: nenpòt bagay ke li te dezire, ta bay a li menm pou pran avè l soti lakay fanm yo pou rive nan palè a wa a.
And thei entriden to the kyng, and what euer thing perteynynge to ournement thei axiden, thei token; and thei weren araied as it pleside hem, and passiden fro the chaumbre of wymmen to the kyngis bed.
14 Nan aswè, li ta ale ladann e nan maten, li ta retounen nan dezyèm kay fanm yo, sou responsabilite Schaaschgaz, enik a wa a ki te an chaj konkibin a wa yo. Li pa t antre kote wa a ankò sof ke wa a te kontan anpil avèk li e te rele li eksprè pa non l.
And sche that hadde entrid in the euentid, yede out in the morwetid; and fro thennus thei weren led forth in to the secounde housis, that weren vndur the hond of Sagazi, onest seruaunt and chast, that was gouernour of the kyngis concubyns; and sche hadde not power to go ayen more to the kyng, no but the kyng wolde, `and had comaundid hir to come bi name.
15 Alò lè lè pou Esther, fi de Abichaïl la, tonton li, Mardochée, ki te pran li kon pwòp pitit pa li, te rive antre kote wa a, li pa t mande anyen sof ke sa ke Hégaï, enik a wa a ki te an chaj fanm yo, te konseye yo. Epi Esther te jwenn favè nan zye a tout moun ki te wè l yo.
Sotheli whanne the tyme was turned aboute bi ordre, the dai neiyede, wherynne Hester, the douyter of Abiahel, brother of Mardoche, `whom he hadde purchasid in to a douyter to hym silf, ouyte entre to the kyng; and sche axide not wymmenus ournement, but what euer thingis Egei, the onest seruaunt and chast, kepere of virgyns, wolde, he yaf these thingis to hir to ournement; for sche was ful schapli, and of fairnesse that may not liytli be bileuyd, and sche semyde graciouse and amyable to the iyen of alle men.
16 Pou sa, Esther te mennen vè Wa Assuérus nan palè wayal li a nan dezyèm mwa ki nan mwa Tébeth la, nan setyèm ane pouvwa li a.
Therfor sche was lad to the bed of kyng Assuerus, in the tenthe monethe, which is clepid Cebeth, in the seuenthe yeer of his rewme.
17 Wa a te renmen Esther plis pase tout fanm yo, e li te twouve gras avèk favè devan li menm plis pase tout lòt vyèj yo, jiskaske li te mete kouwòn wayal la sou tèt li e te fè li rèn nan plas a Vasthi a.
And the kyng feruentli louyde hir more than alle wymmen, and sche hadde grace and mercy bifor hym ouer alle wymmen; and he settide the diademe of rewme `on hir heed, and he made hir to regne in the stide of Vasthi.
18 Epi wa a te bay yon gran bankè pou tout chèf li yo ak sèvitè li yo. Li te rele l bankè Esther. Li te pwokame l yon jou fèt pou pwovens yo, epi li te bay yo kado selon jenewozite a wa a.
And he comaundide a ful worschipful feeste to be maad redi to alle hise princes and seruauntis, for the ioynyng togidere and the weddyngis of Hester; and he yaf rest to alle prouynces, and yaf yiftis aftir the worschipful doyng of a prynce.
19 Lè vyèj yo te reyini ansanm yon dezyèm fwa a, alò, Mardochée t ap chita nan pòtay a wa a.
And whanne virgyns weren souyt also the secounde tyme, and weren gaderid togidere, Mardochee dwellide at the yate of the kyng.
20 Esther potko fè yo konnen fanmi li yo, ni pèp li a, jis jan ke Mardochée te bay li lòd fè a, jis jan li te fè lè se te li ki t ap swaye li a.
Hester hadde not yit schewid hir cuntrei and puple, bi comaundement of hym; for whi what euer thing he comaundide, Hester kepte, and sche dide so alle thingis, as sche was wont in that tyme, in which he nurschide hir a litil child.
21 Nan jou sa yo, pandan Mardochée te chita nan pòtay palè a wa a, Bigthan avèk Théresch, de ofisye a wa yo ki t ap veye pòt la, te vin fache, e te chache mete men sou wa Assuérus.
Therfor in that tyme, wherynne Mardochee dwellide at the `yate of the king, Bagathan and Thares, twei seruauntis of the kyng, weren wrothe, `that weren porteris, and saten in the first threisfold of the paleis; and thei wolden rise ayens the kyng, and sle hym.
22 Men konplo a te vin rekonèt pa Mardochée e li te pale rèn Esther, e Esther te pale wa a nan non a Mardochée.
Which thing was not hid fro Mardochee, and anoon he telde to the queen Hester, and sche to the kyng, bi the name of Mardochee, that hadde teld the thing to hir.
23 Alò, lè yo fè rechèch nan konplo a e jwenn bout li, yo tou de te pann sou yon bwa; epi sa te ekri nan Liv Achiv Kwonik Yo nan prezans wa a.
It was souyt, and it was foundun, and ech of hem was hangid in a iebat; and `it was sent to storyes, and was bitakun to bookis of yeeris, `bifor the kyng.
