Estè 8
1 Nan menm jou sa a, Wa Assuérus te bay lakay Haman, lènmi a Jwif yo, a rèn Esther. Mardochée te parèt devan wa a, paske Esther te pale wa a sa li te ye pou li.
In that dai kyng Assuerus yaf to Hester, the queen, the hows of Aaman, aduersarie of Jewis. And Mardochee entride bifor the face of the kyng; for Hester knoulechide to hym, that he was `hir fadris brother.
2 Wa a te fin retire bag so ke li te retire nan men a Haman an e te bay li a Mardochée. Konsa, Esther te plase Mardochée sou kay Haman an.
Therfor the kyng took the ryng, which he hadde comaundid to be resseyued fro Aaman, and yaf to Mardochee. Forsothe Hester ordeynede Mardochee ouer hir hows.
3 Esther te pale ankò a wa a, te tonbe nan pye li, te kriye e te sipliye li pou evite mechanste Haman an, Agagit la, avèk konplo ke li te prepare kont Jwif yo.
And Hester was not appaied with these thingis, and felde doun to the feet of the kyng, and wepte, and spak to hym, and preiede, that he schulde comaunde the malice of Aaman of Agag, and hise worste castis, whiche he hadde thouyte out ayens Jewis, `to be maad voide.
4 Wa a te lonje baton an lò a vè Esther. Konsa, Esther te leve kanpe devan wa a.
And the kyng bi custom helde forth the goldun yerde of the kyng with his hond, bi which the signe of merci was schewid. `Therfor sche roos vp,
5 Li te di: “Si sa fè wa a plezi, si mwen te twouve favè devan li, wa a twouve koz sa a bon, e sa fè kè l kontan pou wè m, kite li ekri pou anile lèt ki te manevre pa Haman an, fis a Hammedatha a, Agagit la, ke li te ekri pou detwi Jwif ki nan tout pwovens a wa yo.
and stood bifor hym, and seide, If it plesith the kyng, and if Y haue founde grace bifor hise iyen, and if my preier is not seyn `to be contrarie to hym, Y biseche, that the elde lettris of Aaman, traitour and enemy of Jewis, by whiche he hadde comaundid hem to perische in alle the prouynces of the kyng, be amendid bi newe pistlis;
6 Paske, kijan mwen kab sipòte wè gwo dezas ki va rive pèp mwen an, e kijan mwen kab sipòte wè destriksyon a fanmi mwen yo?”
for hou schal Y mowe suffre the deth, and the sleyng of my puple?
7 Pou sa, Wa Assuérus te pale a rèn Esther e a Mardochée, Jwif la: “Veye byen, Mwen te bay lakay Haman a Esther e li menm, yo te pann li sou wo etaj la akoz li te lonje men li kont Jwif yo.
And kyng Assuerus answeride to Hester, the queen, and to Mardochee, Jew, Y grauntide the hows of Aaman to Hester, the queen, and Y comaundide hym to be hangid `on the cros, for he was hardi to sette hond ayens the Jewis.
8 Alò, ou menm ekri a Jwif yo jan ou twouve li bon nan non a wa a, e sele lèt la avèk bag so a wa a; paske, yon dekrè ki ekri nan non a wa a e sele avèk bag so a wa a p ap kapab anile.”
Therfor write ye to Jewis, as it plesith to you, `bi the name of the kyng, and aseele ye the lettris with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durste ayenseie the pistlis, that weren sente in the kyngis name, and weren aseelid with his ryng.
9 Pou sa, grefye a wa yo te rele nan lè sa a nan twazyèm mwa a (sa vle di, mwa Sivan an), nan twazyèm jou a; epi, li te ekri selon tout sa ke Mardochée te kòmande a Jwif yo, reprezantan a wa yo nan pwovens yo, gouvènè yo, avèk chèf a pwovens ki te lonje rive soti nan Inde jis rive Ethiopie, san-venn-sèt pwovens, a chak pwovens selon ekriti pa li e a chak pèp selon langaj yo, epi anplis a Jwif yo selon ekriti pa yo, avèk langaj pa yo.
And whanne the dyteris and `writeris of the kyng weren clepid; `sotheli it was the tyme of the thridde monethe, which is clepid Siban, in the thre and twentithe dai of that monethe; pistlis weren writun, as Mardochee wolde, to Jewis, and to princes, and to procuratouris, and to iugis, that weren souereyns of an hundrid and seuene and twenti prouynces, fro Iynde `til to Ethiope, to prouynce and to prouynce, to puple and to puple, bi her langagis and lettris, and to Jewis, that thei myyten rede and here.
10 Li te ekri nan non a Wa Assuérus, te sele li avèk bag so a wa a e te voye lèt yo pa mesaje yo monte sou cheval ki te nan ras cheval wayal yo.
And tho pistlis, that weren sent `bi the kyngis name, weren aseelid with his ryng, and sent bi messangeris, whiche runnen aboute bi alle prouynces, and camen with newe messagis bifor the elde lettris.
11 Nan lèt sa yo, wa a te bay dwa a Jwif yo nan chak vil, pou rasanble e fè defans lavi yo, pou detwi, pou touye e pou anile tout lame a nenpòt pèp oswa pwovens ki ta vin atake yo, menm ansanm avèk pitit yo ak fanm yo, e piyaje byen yo,
To whiche the kyng comaundide, that thei schulden clepe togidere the Jewis bi alle citees, `and comaunde to be gaderid togidere, that thei schulden stonde for her lyues; and schulden sle, and do awei alle her enemyes, with her wyues and children, and alle howsis.
12 nan yon sèl jou nan tout pwovens a Wa Assuérus yo, trèzyèm jou nan douzyèm mwa a, (sa vle di, mwa Adar a).
And o dai of veniaunce, that is, in the thrittenthe dai of the tweluethe monethe Adar, was ordeined bi alle prouynces.
13 Yon kopi a dekrè a te gen pou pibliye kon lwa nan chak pwovens e te pibliye a tout pèp yo, pou Jwif yo ta parèt nan jou sila pou fè revandikasyon yo sou lènmi yo.
And the schort sentence of the pistle was this, that it were maad knowun in alle londis and puplis, that weren suget to the empire of kyng Assuerus, that the Jewis ben redi to take veniaunce of her enemyes.
14 Mesaje yo byen prese, bourade pa lòd a wa a, te sòti monte sou cheval wayal yo. Konsa, dekrè a te distribye nan sitadèl Suse la.
And the messangeris yeden out, bifor berynge swift messages; and the comaundement of the kyng hangide in Susa.
15 Epi Mardochée te sòti nan prezans a wa a nan vètman wayal la ki te an koulè ble e blan, avèk yon gran kouwòn an lò ak yon manto fèt an len fen e mov; epi lavil Suse te fè yon gwo kri avèk jwa, e te rejwi.
Sotheli Mardochee yede out of the paleis and of the kyngis siyt, and schynede in the kyngis clothis, that is, of iacynct and of colour of the eir, and he bar a goldun coroun in his heed, and was clothid with a mentil of selk and of purpur; and al the citee fulli ioiede, and was glad.
16 Pou Jwif yo, te gen limyè, kè kontan, lajwa avèk lonè.
Forsothe a newe liyt semede to rise to the Jewis,
17 Nan chak pwovens nèt ak nan chak vil nenpòt kote lòd a wa a avèk dekrè li te rive a, te gen kè kontan avèk lajwa pou Jwif yo, yon fèt bankè avèk yon jou fèt. Epi anpil moun pami pèp peyi yo te vin Jwif yo, paske krent a Jwif yo te vin tonbe sou yo.
ioie, onour, and daunsyng, at alle puplis, citees, and alle prouynces, whidur euere the comaundementis of the kyng camen, a wondurful ioie, metis, and feestis, and an hooli dai, in so myche, that many of an other folk and sect weren ioyned to the religioun and cerymonyes of hem; for the greet drede of the name of Jewis `hadde asaylid alle hem.
