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 feast 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.”
On this second day, while they were serving wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It will be granted to you. What is your request? Up to half of the kingdom, and it will be granted.”
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 replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, king, and if it pleases you, let my life be given to me—this is my petition, and I request this also for my people.
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 we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed, and annihilated. If we had only been sold into slavery, as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, for no such distress as this would justify disturbing 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 Esther the queen, “Who is he? Where is this person to be found who has filled his heart to do such a 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.
Esther said, “The hostile man, that enemy, is this evil Haman!” Then Haman was terrified 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.
The king got up in a rage from the wine-drinking at the feast and went into the palace garden, but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther. He saw that disaster was being decided against him by the king.
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.
Then the king returned from the palace garden into the room where the wine had been served. Haman had just fallen on the couch where Esther was. The king said, “Will he assault the queen in my presence in my own house?” As soon as this sentence came out of the king's mouth, the servants 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 Harbona, one of the officials who served the king, said, “A gallows fifty cubits tall stands beside Haman's house. He set it up for Mordecai, the one who spoke up to protect the king.” The king said, “Hang him on it.”
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 king's rage died down.
