Estè 7
1 Alò, wa a avèk Haman te vini pou bwè diven an avèk Esther, rèn nan.
So the king and Haman went to dine with Esther the queen,
2 Konsa, wa a te di a Esther ankò nan dezyèm jou a pandan yo t ap bwè diven pa yo nan bankè a, “Se ki petisyon ou an, rèn Esther? Li va bay a ou menm. Se kisa ke w ap mande a? Menm jis rive mwatye wayòm nan, li va fèt.”
and as they drank their wine on that second day, the king asked once more, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
3 Rèn Esther te reponn: “Si mwen te jwenn favè nan zye ou, O wa, e si se plezi a wa a, ban mwen lavi mwen kon petisyon mwen an, avèk pèp mwen an, se sa ke mwen mande.
Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, grant me my life as my petition, and the lives of my people as my request.
4 Paske nou te fin vann mwen menm avèk pèp mwen an, pou nou fin detwi, pou touye e anile nèt. Alò, si se te sèlman ke nou te vann kon esklav, gason kon fanm, mwen ta rete an silans, paske twoub la pa t ap merite ke m ta twouble wa a.”
For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as menservants and maidservants, I would have remained silent, because no such distress would justify burdening the king.”
5 Konsa, Wa Assuérus te mande rèn Esther, “Ki moun li ye e kibò li ye, ki ta pwopoze fè afè sila a?”
Then King Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”
6 Esther te di: “Yon oprimè avèk yon lènmi, se mechan Haman sila a!” Pou sa a, Haman te vin ranpli avèk laperèz devan wa a avèk rèn nan.
Esther replied, “The adversary and enemy is this wicked man—Haman!” And Haman stood in terror before the king and queen.
7 Wa a nan kòlè li te leve kite bwè diven an, e te antre nan jaden palè a. Men Haman te rete pou mande Esther sekou pou lavi li, paske li te wè wa a te vin gen entansyon fè l move bagay.
In his fury, the king arose from drinking his wine and went to the palace garden, while Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king was planning a terrible fate for him.
8 Alò, lè wa a te retounen sòti nan jaden palè a pou l antre nan plas kote yo t ap bwè diven an, Haman t ap tonbe sou sofa kote Esther te ye a. Konsa, wa a te di: “Èske li va menm vyole rèn nan pandan m la nan kay la?” Depi pawòl la te kite bouch a wa a, yo te kouvri figi a Haman.
Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9 Alò Harbona, youn nan enik yo devan wa a te di: “Gade byen, anverite, men wo etaj senkant koude nan wotè ki kanpe kote kay Haman an, ke li te fè pou Mardochée ki te pale byen pou wa a!” Epi wa a te di: “Pann li sou li!”
Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said: “There is a gallows fifty cubits high at Haman’s house. He had it built for Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the king.” “Hang him on it!” declared the king.
10 Konsa, yo te pann Haman sou wo etaj ke li te prepare pou Mardochée a e kòlè a wa a te vin bese.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided.
