Esther 9

Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
Trèzyèm jou nan douzyèm mwa a, mwa Ada a, rive. Se te jou pou yo te fè sa wa a te bay lòd fè a. Se te jou moun ki pa t' vle wè jwif yo t'ap tann pou yo te kraze yo. Men, sa ki pou te rive jou sa a, se pa sa ki rive. Se jwif yo ki kraze moun ki te rayi yo.
The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
Nan tout pwovens peyi wa Asyeris la, jwif yo reyini nan katye yo nan chak lavil. Yo òganize yo pou yo atake tout moun ki te vle fè yo mal. Pèsonn pa t' ka kenbe tèt ak yo. Tout moun te pè yo.
And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
Sa ki pi rèd, tout gouvènè yo, tout prefè yo ak tout anplwaye leta yo nan tout pwovens yo te pran pou jwif yo, paske yo te pè Madoche anpil.
For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
Nan tout peyi a, tout moun te konnen jan Madoche te yon grannèg nan palè wa a, chak jou li te vin gen plis pouvwa.
Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
Jwif yo tonbe sou tout lènmi yo ak kout nepe. Yo touye yo, yo masakre yo. Yo fè sa yo vle ak moun ki pa t' vle wè yo.
And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
Nan lavil Souz, kapital la menm, yo touye, yo masakre senksan (500) moun.
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Nan moun yo touye yo te gen dis pitit gason Aman yo: Pachandat, Dalfon, Aspata,
And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Porata, Adalya, Aridata,
And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
Pamachta, Arisayi, Aridayi ak Vayzata.
The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
Se te pitit gason Aman yo, pitit pitit Amedata a, moun ki pa t' vle wè jwif yo. Men, jwif yo pa t' pran anyen lakay moun yo.
On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
Jou sa a, yo fè wa a konnen jwif yo te touye senksan (500) moun nan lavil Souz, kapital la.
And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
Wa a di larenn Estè konsa: -Nan lavil Souz ase, jwif yo touye senksan (500) moun. Nan moun sa yo te gen dis pitit gason Aman yo. Nou pa bezwen mande sa yo fè nan pwovens yo. Kisa ou vle koulye a? M'ap ba ou li. Di m' kisa ou vle m' fè, m'ap fè l'.
Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
Estè reponn li: -Si sa fè monwa plezi, li ta bay jwif ki nan lavil Souz yo otorizasyon pou denmen yo fè menm jan yo te fè jòdi a. Lèfini, pou yo pann kadav dis pitit gason Aman yo sou plas piblik.
And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
Wa a bay lòd pou yo fè sa vre. Yo fè piblikasyon nan tout lavil Souz, epi yo pann kadav dis pitit gason Aman yo sou plas piblik.
For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
Nan katòzyèm jou moun Ada a, jwif lavil Souz yo reyini ankò epi yo touye twasan (300) moun nan lavil la. Men, lè sa a tou, yo pa t' pran anyen nan zafè moun yo.
But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
Nan pwovens yo menm, jwif yo te òganize yo pou defann tèt yo. Yo fè lènmi yo ba yo lapè, yo touye swasannkenzmil (75.000) moun ki pa t' vle wè yo. Men, yo menm tou yo pa t' pran anyen nan zafè moun yo.
On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Tou sa pase nan trèzyèm jou mwa Ada a. Nan denmen, ki vle di nan katòzyèm jou mwa a, jwif nan pwovens yo pa t' touye yon moun ankò. Se te jou yo t'ap fè fèt, jou yo t'ap pran plezi yo.
But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Men, jwif lavil Souz yo te pran de jou, trèzyèm jou ak katòzyèm jou nan mwa Ada a, pou yo te touye lènmi yo. Nan kenzyèm jou mwa a, yo pa t' touye yon moun ankò. Se jou sa a yo te fè fèt, se jou sa a yo t'ap pran plezi yo.
Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
Se poutèt sa, jwif k'ap viv nan ti bouk yo, ki gaye nan tout pwovens yo, pran katòzyèm jou mwa Ada a pou yon jou fèt, jou pou fè kè yo kontan, jou pou yo pa travay. Se jou sa a yonn voye kado bay lòt.
And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
Madoche fè ekri tout bagay sa yo, lèfini li voye lèt bay tout jwif ki te nan pwovens peyi wa Asyeris la, kit yo te pre, kit yo te lwen.
To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
Li voye di yo pou yo te toujou pran de jou sa yo, katòzyèm ak kenzyèm jou nan mwa Ada a, pou jou fèt chak lanne.
As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
Se jou sa yo jwif yo te fè lènmi yo ba yo lapè. Se mwa sa a sitiyasyon an te chanje pou yo: yo te sispann gen lapenn, kè yo te kontan. Yo pa t' dekouraje, yo t'ap fè fèt. Se pou yo te make jou sa yo tankou jou pou fè fèt ak gwo resepsyon. Jou sa a, se pou yo voye kado yonn bay lòt, se pou yo bay pòv yo kado tou.
And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
Se konsa, jwif yo pran abitid mete jou sa yo apa, jan yo te konmanse fè l' la, dapre sa Madoche te ekri yo.
Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
Aman, pitit gason Amedata, moun laras Agag, moun ki pa t' vle wè jwif yo, te fè lide disparèt yo. Li te mande yon divinò fè l' konnen ki jou ki ta pi bon pou detwi yo, pou masakre yo.
But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
Men, lè Estè al di wa a sa, wa a bay yon lòt lòd. Se konsa malè Aman t'ap pare pou jwif yo, se sou pwòp tèt li li tonbe. Yo pann ni li ni pitit gason l' yo byen wo sou plas piblik.
Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
Se poutèt sa yo rele jou fèt sa yo: Pourim, dapre yon mo ansyen ki vle di: chans. Konsa, dapre sa ki te nan lèt Madoche te voye ba yo a, lèfini poutèt sa yo te wè ki te rive yo,
The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
jwif yo make dat sa a pou yo toujou fè fèt jou sa yo. Yo pran angajman pou yo, pou pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo, ak pou tout moun ki ta vle fè yo jwif, pou chak lanne lè de jou sa yo rive pou yo toujou fè fèt jan Madoche te ekri l' la.
And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
Yo bay lòd pou tout jwif yo, nan tout branch fanmi, nan tout lavil, nan tout peyi toujou chonje jou sa yo pou yo fè gwo fèt lè sa a, depi sa ki la koulye a jouk ras la va kaba. Se pou jwif yo make jou chans sa yo, pou yo pa janm bliye yo, lèfini pou pitit pitit yo ka toujou chonje jou sa yo.
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
Apre sa, larenn Estè, pitit fi Abikayil la, mete tèt ansanm ak Madoche, li ekri yon lèt pou di jan li dakò. Se konsa, li bay premye lèt Madoche te ekri sou jou chans sa yo plis fòs toujou.
And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
Yo voye lèt la bay tout jwif nan sanvennsèt (127) pwovens peyi wa Asyeris la. Lèt la te mande pou jwif yo te viv ak kè poze san fè kont.
To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
Lèfini, li mande yo pou ni yo ni pitit yo, ni pitit pitit yo, pou yo toujou fete jou chans sa yo lè dat la rive, jan Madoche ak larenn Estè te bay lòd la, menm jan yo te swiv lòd yo te bay pou fè jèn epi pou yo te leve men yo nan syèl pou plenn sò yo.
And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Yo pran lèt larenn Estè te ekri pou bay regleman jou chans sa yo plis fòs la, yo ekri l' nan liv la.
