Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Yon jou, wa Bèlchaza bay yon gwo resepsyon pou mil moun nan gwo zotobre peyi a. Yo t'ap bwè diven ansanm.
2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded that the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem be brought to him, that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from them.
Antan yo t'ap bwè konsa, Bèlchaza bay lòd pou y' al pran gwo gode fèt an lò ak gode fèt an ajan papa l', Nèbikadneza, te pran nan tanp lavil Jerizalèm lan. Li te fè chache yo pou l' te bwè ladan yo ansanm ak chèf li yo, madanm li yo ak fanm kay li yo.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of God’s house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.
Lamenm, yo pote gode an lò ak gode an ajan yo, epi yo tout yo tanmen bwè ladan yo.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Yo t'ap bwè diven, yo t'ap fè lwanj bondye pa yo ki fèt an lò, an ajan, an kwiv, an bwa, an fè ak an wòch.
5 In the same hour, the fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote near the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace. The king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Yo rete konsa, yo wè yon men moun parèt. Li pran ekri sou miray palè a, kote limyè lanp lan te pi klere a. Wa a wè bout men ki t'ap ekri a.
6 Then the king’s face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.
Li chanje koulè, li vin pè. Li santi tout kò l' aprale, jenou l' yo pran tranble.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and shows me its interpretation shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
Li rele byen fò, li mande pou fè chache tout divinò, tout moun ki li zetwal ak tout nèg save ki rete lavil Babilòn yo. Lè yo vini, wa a di yo konsa: -Nenpòt moun ki ka li sa ki ekri la a, lèfini ki ka fè m' konnen sa li vle di, m'ap mete gwo manto wouj la sou li, m'ap pase yon chenn an lò nan kou l'. Apre sa, m'ap ba li twazyèm plas apre m' nan gouvènman m' lan.
8 Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and could not make known to the king the interpretation.
Tout nèg save wa yo vanse. Men, pa t' gen yonn ladan yo ki te ka li sa ki ekri a, ale wè pou yo ta fè l' konnen sa li vle di.
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
Wa a vin pi pè toujou, figi l' pèdi koulè. Tout chèf yo menm pa t' konn sa pou yo fè.
10 The queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house. The queen spoke and said, “O king, live forever; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.
Larenn lan, manman wa a, tande tout pale fò wa a t'ap fè ansanm ak chèf li yo. Li antre nan sal resepsyon an. Li di konsa: -Monwa, mwen mande pou bondye yo ba ou lavi pou lontan ankò! Ou pa bezwen pèdi tèt ou, ou pa bezwen pè.
11 There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king, Nebuchadnezzar, your father—yes, the king, your father—made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers,
Gen yon moun nan peyi ou la ki gen lespri bondye nan syèl yo nan li. Lè papa ou te la, nèg sa a te moutre jan li gen anpil lespri, anpil konesans ak anpil bon konprann sou li tankou bondye yo. Lè sa a, papa ou, wa Nèbikadneza, te nonmen l' chèf sou tout divinò, tout majisyen, tout moun ki li zetwal ak tout nèg save yo.
12 because an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.”
Danyèl sa a, papa ou te rele l' Beltechaza. Li te gen yon gwo lespri nan li, anpil konesans ak anpil konprann kifè li te konn esplike rèv ak tout bagay moun pa konprann. Li te jwenn solisyon pou tout pwoblèm. Fè chache Danyèl sa a, l'a fè ou konnen sa tout bagay sa yo vle di.
13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Yo mennen Danyèl devan wa a. Wa a di li: -Se ou menm Danyèl, yonn nan jwif wa Nèbikadneza, papa m', te depòte soti nan peyi Jida mennen isit la?
14 I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you.
Mwen tande ou gen bondye yo avè ou. Ou se yon nonm ki gen anpil lespri, anpil konesans ak anpil bon konprann.
15 Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.
Yo mennen nèg save ak moun ki li zetwal pou yo li sa ki ekri la a, lèfini pou yo fè m' konnen sa li vle di. Men yo pa t' kapab.
16 But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
Koulye a, mwen tande ou ka bay esplikasyon pou tout bagay moun pa konprann, ou jwenn solisyon pou tout pwoblèm. Si ou ka li sa ki ekri la a, si ou fè m' konnen sa li vle di, m'ap mete gwo manto wouj la sou ou, m'ap pase yon chenn an lò nan kou ou. Lèfini, m'ap ba ou twazyèm plas apre m' nan gouvènman m' lan.
17 Then Daniel answered before the king, “Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Danyèl reponn wa a: -Ou mèt kenbe kado ou yo pou ou, osinon bay lòt moun yo. Men tout jan, monwa, m'ap li sa ki ekri a pou ou, lèfini m'ap fè ou konnen sa li vle di.
18 “To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
Monwa, Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la te fè papa ou, Nèbikadneza, wa. Li te ba li pouvwa, otorite ak anpil bèl bagay.
19 Because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he wanted to, and he kept alive whom he wanted to. He raised up whom he wanted to, and he put down whom he wanted to.
Bondye te sitèlman ba li pouvwa, tout pèp, moun tout ras, moun ki pale tout kalite lang te pè l'. Yo te tranble devan l'. Li te touye moun li vle, li te kite moun li vle viv. Li moute moun grad, li desann moun grad jan li vle.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.
Men, li kite lògèy vire tèt li, li vin mechan anpil, li santi li pa kanmarad pesonn. Se konsa yo wete l' sou fotèy wa a, li pèdi bèl plas sa a.
21 He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
Yo mete l' deyò, yo voye l' byen lwen, yo pa kite l' mache sou moun. Lespri li tounen tankou lespri yon bèt. Li rete menm kote avèk bourik mawon, li manje zèb tankou bèf, lawouze bat li kou bèt seren. Lèfini, li rekonèt se Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la ki kontwole tout chèf sou latè, se li menm ki bay moun li vle dwa pou yo gouvènen.
22 “You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
Men, ou menm Bèlchaza, pitit li, ou pa t' soumèt devan l', atout ou te konnen tout bagay sa yo.
23 but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.
Ou menm tou, ou kenbe tèt ak Seyè ki nan syèl la, ou fè yo pote veso yo te pran nan tanp li a ba ou. Epi ou menm, chèf ou yo, madanm ou yo ak fanm kay ou yo, nou bwè diven ladan yo. Nou fè lwanj pou bondye fèt an lò, an ajan, an kwiv, an fè, an bwa, an wòch, bondye ki pa ka wè, ki pa ka tande, ki pa konn anyen. Men, monwa, Bondye ki kenbe lavi ou nan men l' lan, li menm ki kontwole tou sa w'ap fè yo, ou pa fè lwanj li.
24 Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
Se poutèt sa Bondye voye bout men sa a ekri pawòl sa yo.
25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
Men sa ki ekri: Konte. Konte. Peze. Separe.
26 “This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
Men sa sa vle di: Konte: Bondye konte konbe jou depi ou wa, li pral mete yon bout nan sa.
27 TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
Peze: Li mete ou nan balans, li jwenn ou manke pèz.
28 PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
Separe: yo pral separe peyi ki sou lòd ou a bay moun Medi yo ak moun Pès yo.
29 Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Lamenm, wa Bèlchaza bay lòd pou yo mete gwo manto wouj la sou Danyèl, pou yo pase yon chenn an lò nan kou li, lèfini pou yo fè tout moun konnen Danyèl se twazyèm chèf apre li nan gouvènman peyi kote l' wa a.
30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
Menm jou lannwit sa a, yo touye Bèlchaza, wa lavil Babilòn lan.
31 Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
Epi, Dariyis, moun peyi Medi a, pran pouvwa a. Dariyis te gen swasanndezan sou tèt li lè sa a.
