1 Pandan nwit lan, wa a pa t kab dòmi. Pou sa, li te pase lòd pou mennen liv achiv kwonik yo pou yo te li li devan wa a.
On that night the king could not sleep. And he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.
2 Li te twouve ekri ladann sa ke Mardochée te rapòte konsènan Bigthan avèk Théresch la, de nan enik wa ki te gadyen pòtay yo, ki te chache pou mete men yo sou wa Assuérus la.
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, of those who kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on king Ahasuerus.
3 Wa a te mande: “Ki distenksyon oswa onè yo te bay a Mardochée pou sèvis sa a?” Sèvitè a wa yo te di: “Anyen pa t fèt pou li.”
And the king said, What honor and dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this? Then the king's servants who ministered to him said, There is nothing done for him.
4 Pou sa, wa a te di: “Kilès ki nan lakou a?” Alò, Haman te fenk antre nan lakou deyò a palè wa a pou l ta kab pale avèk wa a konsènan afè pann Mardochée sou etaj ki te bati pou li a.
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman came into the outward court of the king's house to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 Sèvitè a wa a te di li: “Men gade byen, Haman kanpe nan lakou a.” Epi wa a te di li: “Kite li antre.”
And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 Pou sa, Haman te antre anndan e wa a te di li: “Kisa ki ta dwe fèt pou nonm nanke wa a dezire onore a?” Epi Haman te di nan tèt li: “Se kilès wa a ta vle onore plis ke mwen menm nan?”
So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?
7 Epi Haman te di a wa a: “Pou nonm ke wa a vle onore a,
And Haman said to the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,
8 kite yo mennen yon vètman wayal ke wa a te konn mete, avèk cheval ke wa a te konn monte e sou tèt a sila, yon kouwòn wa a te fin mete.
let royal apparel be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides upon, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.
9 Epi, konsa, kite vètman avèk cheval la remèt a youn nan chèf a wa ki pi onore a e kite yo abiye moun ke wa a vle onore a, mennen li sou do cheval la toupatou nan plas lavil la e pwoklame devan li, ‘Se konsa pou l ta fèt a moun nan ke wa a vle onore a.’”
And let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble rulers, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delights to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
10 Epi wa a te di a Haman: “Byen vit pran vètman avèk cheval la kon ou te pale a e fè sa pou Mardochée, Jwif la, ki chita nan pòtay wa a. Pa manke nan anyen a tout sa ke ou te pale yo.”
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate. Let nothing fail of all that thou have spoken.
11 Konsa, Haman te pran vètman an avèk cheval la, te abiye Mardochée, te mennen li sou cheval la nan tout plas lavil la, e te fè pwoklamasyon devan l, “Se konsa li va fèt pou nonm ke wa a vle onore a.”
Then Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
12 Konsa, Mardochée te retounen nan pòtay a wa a, men Haman te kouri byen vit pou rive lakay li avèk kri doulè, ak tèt li kouvri.
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hastened to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13 Haman te rakonte a Zéresch, madanm li avèk tout zanmi li yo tout sa ki te rive li yo. Epi mesye saj yo avèk Zéresch, madanm li an, te di li: “Si Mardochée, devan sila ou kòmanse tonbe a, sòti nan Jwif yo, anverite, ou p ap genyen sou li, men anverite, ou va tonbe devan li.”
And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, If Mordecai, before whom thou have begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him.
14 Pandan yo t ap toujou pale avèk li, enik a wa yo te rive e byen prese, yo te mennen Haman nan bankè ke Esther te prepare a.
While they were yet talking with him, the king's chamberlains came, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
