Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
Nan twazyèm ane règn a Belschatsar a, wa a, yon vizyon te parèt a mwen menm, Daniel, apre sa ki parèt a mwen an premye a.
2 And I saw in the vision, now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam, and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
Mwen te gade nan vizyon an e pandan mwen t ap gade a, mwen te nan Suse, palè ki nan pwovens Élam nan. Epi mwen te gade nan vizyon an, e mwen te bò Kanal Ulaï la.
3 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Mwen te leve zye m pou te gade e vwala, yon belye ak de kòn ki te kanpe devan kanal la. Alò, de kòn yo te long, men youn te pi long ke lòt la, e sa ki pi long lan ki te leve an dènye.
4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no beasts could stand before him, nor was there any that could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
Mwen te wè belye a ki t ap frape tèt li vè lwès, vè nò e vè sid. Pa t gen bèt ki te ka kanpe devan l, ni pa t gen youn ki te kab delivre soti anba men li. Men li te fè sa li te pito, e te leve tèt li Wo.
5 And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Pandan mwen t ap gade a, vwala yon mal kabrit t ap vini soti nan lwès sou fas tout tè a, san touche tè a, e kabrit la te gen yon kòn parèt byen klè antre zye li.
6 And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.
Li te pwoche kote belye ki te gen de kòn nan, belye ke m te wè kanpe devan kanal la, e li te kouri fò sou li ak gwo chalè pwisans li.
7 And I saw him come close to the ram. And he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him. And there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Mwen te wè li vin bò kote belye a e li te anraje sou li. Epi li te frape belye a. Li te kraze de kòn li yo, e belye a pa t gen fòs pou reziste ak li. Konsa, li te voye l a tè, e te ponpe sou li. Pa t gen moun ki pou delivre belye a devan pouvwa li.
8 And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly. And when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven.
Epi kabrit mal la te agrandi pouvwa li anpil, anpil. Men depi li te vin pwisan an, pi gwo kòn nan te kase. Epi li te ranplase ak kat kòn, ki parèt byen klè, ki te sòti vè kat van syèl yo.
9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
Youn nan kòn yo te parèt yon ti jan piti e li te grandi byen vit vè sid, vè lès e vè peyi laglwa a.
10 And it grew great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled upon them.
Li te grandi rive jis nan lame syèl la. Li te fè kèk nan lame a ak kèk nan zetwal yo tonbe atè, e li te ponpe sou yo.
11 Yea, it magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host. And it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Li te menm agrandi pwòp tèt li pou l ta ka egal ak Chèf Tèt lame syèl la. Konsa, li te retire nan men l sakrifis nòmal la, e plas sanktyè Li a te jete anba.
12 And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
Epi akoz transgresyon, lame a va vin livre a kòn nan ansanm ak sakrifis nòmal la. Li te voye verite a jis atè, e sa te fè plezi, e li te pwospere.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual burnt offering, and the transgression that make desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Alò, mwen te tande sila ki sen an ap pale, e yon lòt ki sen te di a sila ki t ap pale a: “Pandan konbyen tan vizyon a sakrifis nòmal la va kontinye, pandan transgresyon an ap ravaje e kite ni sen lye an ansanm ak lame a vin foule anba pye?”
14 And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
Li te di mwen: “Pandan de-mil-twa-san swa ak maten. Epi alò, sen lye a va vin pwòp ankò.”
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it, and, behold, there stood before me someone as the appearance of a man.
Lè mwen menm, Daniel, te fè vizyon an, mwen te chache konprann li. Epi gade byen, kanpe devan mwen se te yon bagay ki te sanble ak yon moun.
16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Mwen te tande vwa a yon moun antre de rebò kanal Ulaï la. Li te rele fò e li te di: “Gabriel, fè nonm sa a konprann vizyon an.”
17 So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened, and fell upon my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.
Konsa, li te vin toupre kote mwen te kanpe a. Lè l te parèt, mwen te gen gwo laperèz, e mwen te tonbe sou figi m. Men li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, konprann vizyon an; paske vizyon an apatyen a bagay a dènye tan yo.”
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground, but he touched me, and set me upright.
Alò, pandan li t ap pale avè m, Mwen te tonbe nan yon pwofon somèy, ak figi m atè, men li te touche mwen, e te fè m kanpe dwat.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
Li te di: “Gade byen, mwen va fè ou konnen sa k ap vin rive nan dènye epòk gwo kòlè a, paske li apatyen a moman ki chwazi pou lafen an.
20 The ram which thou saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Belye ke ou te wè ak de kòn yo reprezante wa a Mèdes ak Perse yo.
21 And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Epi kabrit la se wayòm a Grèce la, e gran kòn antre zye li yo, se premye wa a.
22 And as for that which was broken, in the place of which four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
Kòn ki te kase a ak kat kòn ki te leve nan plas li a se kat wayòm ki va leve sòti nan nasyon sa a, malgre se pa avèk pouvwa li.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding hidden things, shall stand up.
“Epi nan dènye pati wayòm yo a, lè transgresè yo fin fè tout transgresyon yo, yon wa va leve ki fiwos, e plen devinèt koken.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy amazingly, and shall prosper and do his pleasure. And he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
Pouvwa li a va trè pwisan, men se pa ak pwòp pouvwa li. Konsa, li va detwi anpil ak gran pwisans. Li va gen gran siksè, e li va fè sa li pito. Li va detwi mesye pwisan ak moun ki sen yo.
25 And through his policy he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hand, and he shall magnify himself in his heart. And he shall destroy many in their security. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he shall be broken without a hand.
Atravè manèv li yo, se ak riz k ap avanse nan men li. Konsa, li va leve tèt li wo nan kè l, epi li va detwi anpil moun pandan yo ansekirite. Anplis, li va kanpe kont Prens dè prens yo, men li va vin kraze san èd moun.
26 And the vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true. But shut thou up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.
“Vizyon sila a, aswè ak maten ki te pale a, se verite. Men sele vizyon an, pou l pa pale menm, paske li apatyen a anpil jou ki gen pou vini.”
27 And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days. Then I rose up, and did the king's business. And I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.
Konsa, mwen menm, Daniel, te vin malad pandan plizyè jou. Lè m te leve ankò, mwen te kontinye fè zafè a wa a. Mwen te etone de vizyon an e mwen pa t gen moun ki te konprann li.
