Estè 7
1 Alò, wa a avèk Haman te vini pou bwè diven an avèk Esther, rèn nan.
So the king and Aman went in to drink with 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 the king said to Esther at the banquet on the second day, What is it, queen Esther? and what [is] thy request, and what [is] thy petition? and it shall be [done] for thee, to the half of my kingdom.
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.
And she answered and said, If I have found favour in the sight of the king, let [my] life be granted to my petition, and my people to 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 both I and my people are sold for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; [both] we and our children for bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the slanderer [is] not worthy of the king’s palace.
5 Konsa, Wa Assuérus te mande rèn Esther, “Ki moun li ye e kibò li ye, ki ta pwopoze fè afè sila a?”
And the king said, Who [is] this that has dared to do this thing?
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.
And Esther said, The adversary [is] Aman, this wicked man. Then Aman was troubled before the king and the 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.
And the king rose up from the banquet to go into the garden: and Aman began to intreat the queen; for he saw that he was in an evil case.
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.
And the king returned from the garden; and Aman had fallen upon the bed, intreating the queen. And the king said, Wilt thou even force [my] wife in my house? And when Aman heard it, he changed countenance.
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!”
And Bugathan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows for Mardochæus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman. And the king said, Let him be hanged thereon.
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 Aman was hanged on the gallows that had been prepared for Mardochæus: and then the king’s wrath was appeased.
