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 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,
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 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.
3 Alò, sèvitè a wa yo te di a Mardochée: “Poukisa w ap dezobeyi lòd a wa a?”
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?'
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.
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.
5 Lè Haman te wè ke Mardochée pa t bese ni ba li onè, Haman te ranpli avèk laraj.
And Haman seeth that Mordecai is not bowing and doing obeisance to him, and Haman is full of fury,
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.
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.
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 — 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.
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 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;
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 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.'
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 turneth aside his signet from off his hand, and giveth it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of the Jews;
11 Wa a te di Haman: “Ajan an se pa w, ni pèp la, pou fè avèk yo sa ou pito.”
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.'
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.
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,
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 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,
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.
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.
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 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.
