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 drink with Queen Esther.
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.”
As they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again said to Esther, ‘Whatever your petition is, Queen Esther, it will be granted to you. Whatever you request it will be done, even if it takes half of the 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.
Then Queen Esther answered, ‘Your Majesty, if I have won your favour, and if it seems best to Your Majesty, let my life be given me as my petition, and 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 I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed, and completely annihilated! If we had been merely sold into slavery I would not have disturbed your peace, because such a fate would not have affected the interests of 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 Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, ‘Who is he and where is he whose heart has impelled him to do this?’
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.
‘A foe, an enemy: this wicked Haman.’ Esther answered. Haman shrank in terror 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.
In his wrath the king rose from the place where he was drinking wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stayed to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that the king was fully determined to bring calamity upon 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.
As the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman had flung himself on Esther’s couch. The king cried, ‘Is he going to rape my queen while I am present in my own house?’ As the king spoke these words, the attendants 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!”
and Harbonah, one of those who waited on the king, said, ‘There are the gallows, seventy-five feet high, which Hainan erected for Mordecai, who spoke a good word in behalf of the king, standing in the house of Haman!’ The king said ‘Hang him on them.’
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 that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king was pacified.
