Estè 3
1 Apre evènman sa yo, Wa Assuérus te elve pozisyon a Haman, fis a Hammedatha a, Agagit la. Li te pouse l devan e te etabli otorite li sou tout chèf ki te avèk li yo.
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
2 Tout sèvitè a wa yo ki te nan pòtay a wa a te bese ba e te bay onè a Haman; paske, se sa wa a te kòmande pa li menm. Men Mardochée pa t bese, ni pa t bay onè.
And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed down, and prostrated themselves before Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him.
3 Alò, sèvitè a wa yo te di a Mardochée: “Poukisa w ap dezobeyi lòd a wa a?”
Then the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai: 'Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?'
4 Alò, li te rive ke lè yo te pale chak jou avèk li e li te refize koute yo, ke yo te pale Haman pou wè si koz a Mardochée a ta kanpe, paske li te di yo ke se yon Jwif li te ye.
Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's words would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
5 Lè Haman te wè ke Mardochée pa t bese ni ba li onè, Haman te ranpli avèk laraj.
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him, then was Haman full of wrath.
6 Men li pa t satisfè pou mete men l sou Mardochée sèl, paske yo te fè l konnen pèp Mardochée a. Konsa, Haman te chache detwi tout Jwif yo, pèp Mardochée a, ki te toupatou nan tout wayòm Assuérus la.
But it seemed contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai; wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
7 Nan premye mwa ki se mwa Nisan an, nan douzyèm ane Wa Assuérus la, bagay Pur a, sa vle di tiraj osò a, te voye devan Haman jou apre jou e soti mwa apre mwa, jis rive nan douzyèm mwa a, sa vle di, mwa Adar a.
In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
8 Epi Haman te di a Wa Assuérus: “Genyen yon sèten pèp ki gaye toupatou pami pèp la nan tout pwovens nan wayòm ou an; lwa pa yo pa menm ak tout lòt pèp nan pwovens a wayòm ou an. Yo menm, yo pa swiv lwa a wa a, e konsa, li pa nan enterè a wa a pou kite yo rete la.
And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus: 'There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people; neither keep they the king's laws; therefore it profiteth not the king to suffer them.
9 Si se plezi a wa a, kite yon dekrè pibliye pou yo ta detwi, e mwen va peye di-mil talan ajan nan men a sila ki akonpli afè wa a, pou mete li nan kès a wa a.”
If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.'
10 Konsa, wa a te retire bag so li nan men l, e te bay li a Haman, fis a Hammedatha a, Agagit la, lènmi a Jwif yo.
And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
11 Wa a te di Haman: “Ajan an se pa w, ni pèp la, pou fè avèk yo sa ou pito.”
And the king said unto Haman: 'The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.'
12 Konsa, grefye a wa yo te rele nan trèzyèm jou nan premye mwa a, e li te ekri jan ke Haman te kòmande a reprezantan a wa a nan tout pwovens yo, a gouvènè ki te sou chak pwovens yo e a chèf a chak pèp, chak pwovens selon ekriti pa li, chak pèp selon langaj pa li, tout sa ekri nan non Wa Assuérus e sele avèk bag so a wa a.
Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written, according to all that Haman commanded, unto the king's satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king's ring.
13 Lèt yo te voye pa mesaje wa yo nan tout pwovens a wa yo pou detwi, pou touye e anile tout Jwif yo, ni jèn, ni granmoun, fanm avèk timoun, nan yon sèl jou, nan trèzyèm jou a douzyèm mwa a, ki se mwa Adar a, e pou sezi tout byen pa yo kon piyaj.
And letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
14 Yon kopi a dekrè a te dwe sikile kon lwa nan chak pwovens e te pibliye a tout pèp yo pou yo ta prepare pou jou sa a.
The copy of the writing, to be given out for a decree in every province, was to be published unto all peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
15 Mesaje wa yo te sòti, ranfòse pa dekrè a wa a, pandan dekrè a te pibliye nan sitadèl Suse la. Wa a avèk Haman te chita ansanm pou bwè, men lavil Suse te twouble.
The posts went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the castle; and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
