Estè 6
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.
That night the king could not sleep. He commanded servants to bring the records of the events of his reign, and they were being read aloud to 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.
It was found recorded there that Mordecai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officials who guarded the entrance, who had tried to harm 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.”
The king asked, “What was done to give honor or recognition to Mordecai for doing this?” Then the king's young men who served him said, “Nothing was 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.
The king said, “Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had entered the outer courtyard of the king's house to speak to him about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he set up 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.”
The king's servants said to him, “Haman is standing in the courtyard.” 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?”
When Haman entered, the king said to him, “What should be done for the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Whom would the king take pleasure in honoring more than me?”
7 Epi Haman te di a wa a: “Pou nonm ke wa a vle onore a,
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring,
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 robes be brought, robes that the king has worn, and a horse that the king has ridden and on whose head is the royal crest.
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.’”
Then let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring, and let them lead him on the horse through the city streets. Let them proclaim before him, 'This is what is done to the one whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!'”
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, “Hurry, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Do not fail in a single matter of what you have said.”
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 robe and the horse. He dressed Mordecai and led him on the horse through the city streets. He proclaimed before him, “This is what is done for a man whom the king takes pleasure in honoring!”
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.
Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning, with 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.”
Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that happened to him. Then his men who were known for their wisdom, and Zeresh his wife, said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is Jewish, you will not overcome him, but you will certainly 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 talking with him, the king's officials arrived. They hurried to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared.
