Daniel 2
1 In the second year of the rule of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep went from him.
Wa Nèbikadneza t'ap mache sou dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen, lè li fè divès rèv. Sa te boulvèse lespri l' anpil. Li pa t' ka dòmi.
2 Then the king gave orders that the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and those who made use of evil powers, and the Chaldaeans, were to be sent for to make clear to the king his dreams. So they came and took their places before the king.
Li fè chache divinò, moun ki li zetwal, moun ki fè cham ak nèg save pou yo vin esplike wa a rèv li fè yo. Lè yo rive, yo kanpe devan wa a.
3 And the king said to them, I have had a dream, and my spirit is troubled by the desire to have the dream made clear to me.
Wa a di yo konsa: -Mwen fè yon rèv k'ap boulvèse m' anpil. Mwen ta renmen nou fè m' konnen sa li vle di.
4 Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in the Aramaean language, O King, have life for ever: give your servants an account of your dream, and we will make clear to you the sense of it.
Mesye yo reponn wa a nan lang arameyen. Yo di l' konsa: -Se pou wa a viv pou tout tan! Se sèvitè ou nou ye. Rakonte nou rèv la, n'a esplike ou sa l' vle di.
5 The king made answer and said to the Chaldaeans, This is my decision: if you do not make clear to me the dream and the sense of it, you will be cut in bits and your houses made waste.
Wa a reponn, li di mesye yo: -Mwen deside se nou ki pou rakonte m' rèv mwen te fè a, lèfini, pou nou fè m' konnen sa li vle di. Si nou pa kapab, m'ap fè yo depatcha nou, m'ap fè yo kraze kay nou ra pye tè.
6 But if you make clear the dream and the sense of it, you will have from me offerings and rewards and great honour: so make clear to me the dream and the sense of it.
Men, si nou rakonte m' rèv mwen te fè a, si nou fè m' konnen sa li vle di, m'ap fè nou kado anpil bagay. M'ap fè bèl bagay pou nou. Annou wè. Rakonte m' rèv la. Di m' sa li vle di.
7 A second time they said in answer, Let the king give his servants an account of his dream, and we will make clear the sense.
Mesye yo reponn wa a yon dezyèm fwa: -Si monwa ta vle rakonte nou rèv la, n'a fè l' konnen sa li vle di.
8 The king made answer and said, I am certain that you are attempting to get more time, because you see that my decision is fixed;
Wa a di: -Mwen sèten nou soti pou n' fè lè, paske nou konnen mwen fin deside
9 That if you do not make my dream clear to me there is only one fate for you: for you have made ready false and evil words to say before me till the times are changed: so give me an account of the dream, and I will be certain that you are able to make the sense of it clear.
si nou pa rakonte m' rèv la, m'ap fè nou tout pase menm jan an. Nou mete tèt ansanm pou nou ban m' manti, paske nou kwè yon lè sa va chanje. Se nou ki pou rakonte m' rèv mwen te fè a. Lè sa a, m'a konnen nou ka di m' sa rèv la vle di.
10 Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in answer, There is not a man on earth able to make clear the king's business; for no king, however great his power, has ever made such a request to any wonder-worker or user of secret arts or Chaldaean.
Nèg save yo reponn wa a, yo di l' konsa: -Pa gen pesonn sou tout latè ki ka fè wa a konnen sa l'ap mande la a. Se poutèt sa, pa janm gen wa, li te mèt gran kou l' gran, li te mèt gen pouvwa pase sa n' pa konnen, ki ka mande yon majisyen, yon moun ki li zetwal osinon yon nèg save bagay konsa.
11 The king's request is a very hard one, and there is no other who is able to make it clear to the king, but the gods, whose living-place is not with flesh.
Sa monwa ap mande la a se yon bagay ki difisil anpil. Pa gen moun sou latè ki ka fè l' pou ou. Se bondye yo ase ki ka fè sa. Men, bondye yo pa rete nan mitan moun.
12 Because of this the king was angry and full of wrath, and gave orders for the destruction of all the wise men of Babylon.
Lè wa a tande sa, li move. Li fè yon sèl kòlè, li bay lòd touye dènye nèg save ki lavil Babilòn.
13 So the order went out that the wise men were to be put to death; and they were looking for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.
Se konsa yo fè tout moun nan peyi a konnen yo tapral touye tout nèg save yo. Y' al chache Danyèl ak zanmi l' yo pou touye yo tou.
14 Then Daniel gave an answer with wisdom and good sense to Arioch, the captain of the king's armed men, who had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon;
Lè sa a, Danyèl al jwenn Ajòk, kòmandan gad palè wa a ki t'ap pase pou li al touye nèg save yo. Li pran san li pou l' pale byen avè l'.
15 He made answer and said to Arioch, O captain of the king, why is the king's order so cruel? Then Arioch gave Daniel an account of the business.
Li di Ajòk, ofisye wa a: -Poukisa wa a bay lòd sevè sa a? Ajòk rakonte Danyèl sa ki pase.
16 And Daniel went in and made a request to the king to give him time and he would make clear the sense of his dream to the king.
Danyèl al mande wa a pou li ba li yon dèle pou l' ka fè wa a konnen sa rèv la vle di.
17 And Daniel went to his house and gave his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah the news:
Apre sa, Danyèl al lakay li, epi li di Ananya, Michayèl ak Azarya, zanmi l' yo, sa ki genyen.
18 So that they might make a request for the mercy of the God of heaven in the question of this secret; so that Daniel and his friends might not come to destruction with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Li mande pou yo lapriyè Bondye ki nan syèl la pou li gen pitye pou yo, pou li fè yo konprann rèv la, konsa yo p'ap touye ni yo menm ni lòt nèg save lavil Babilòn yo.
19 Then the secret was made clear to Daniel in a vision of the night. And Daniel gave blessing to the God of heaven.
Menm jou lannwit sa a, Bondye fè Danyèl konprann rèv la nan yon vizyon. Lè sa a, Danyèl fè lwanj Bondye ki nan syèl la.
20 And Daniel said in answer, May the name of God be praised for ever and ever: for wisdom and strength are his:
Li di: -benediksyon pou Bondye pou tout tan tout tan. Se li ki gen tout konesans, se li ki gen tout fòs.
21 By him times and years are changed: by him kings are taken away and kings are lifted up: he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those whose minds are awake:
Li kontwole sezon yo ak lè pou chak bagay rive. Se li ki desann wa yo, se li ki moute wa yo. Se li ki bay nèg save yo bon konprann ak nèg lespri yo konesans.
22 He is the unveiler of deep and secret things: he has knowledge of what is in the dark, and the light has its living-place with him.
Se li ki fè moun konnen tout sekrè ki kache. Li konnen tou sa ki nan fènwa. Limyè klere kote l' pase.
23 I give you praise and worship, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and strength, and have now made clear to me what we were requesting from you: for you have given us knowledge of the king's business.
Bondye zansèt mwen yo, m'ap fè lwanj ou, m'ap di ou mèsi paske ou ban m' fòs ak bon konprann. Ou fè m' konnen sa nou te mande ou la, ou fè nou konnen sa ki t'ap boulvèse wa a.
24 For this reason Daniel went to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders for the destruction of the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, Do not put to death the wise men of Babylon: take me in before the king and I will make clear to him the sense of the dream.
Lamenm, Danyèl al jwenn Ajòk, nonm wa a te bay lòd al touye tout nèg save lavil Babilòn yo. Li di l' konsa: -Pa touye nèg save lavil Babilòn yo. Mennen m' bò kote wa a, m'a di l' sa rèv li te fè a vle di.
25 Then Arioch quickly took Daniel in before the king, and said to him, Here is a man from among the prisoners of Judah, who will make clear to the king the sense of the dream.
Ajòk prese mennen Danyèl bay wa a. Epi li di: -Monwa, mwen jwenn yon nonm nan jwif yo te depòte yo ki ka di ou sa rèv ou te fè a vle di.
26 The king made answer and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make clear to me the dream which I saw and its sense?
Wa a di Danyèl yo te rele Beltechaza a: -Eske ou ka di m' rèv mwen te fè a? Eske ou ka fè m' konnen sa l' vle di?
27 Then Daniel said in answer to the king, No wise men, or users of secret arts, or wonder-workers, or readers of signs, are able to make clear to the king the secret he is searching for;
Danyèl reponn: -Monwa, pa gen nèg save, pa gen divinò, pa gen majisyen, ata moun ki konn li zetwal, ki ka fè ou konnen sa.
28 But there is a God in heaven, the unveiler of secrets, and he has given to King Nebuchadnezzar knowledge of what will take place in the last days. Your dreams and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
Men, gen yon Bondye nan syèl la ki devwale tout sekrè ki kache. Se li k'ap fè ou konnen sa ki gen pou rive pita. Men rèv ou te fè a, men vizyon ou te wè pandan ou t'ap dòmi an.
29 As for you, O King, the thoughts which came to you on your bed were of what will come about after this: and the unveiler of secrets has made clear to you what is to come.
Lè sa a, monwa t'ap dòmi, tèt ou pran travay sou sa ki gen pou rive pita. Epi Bondye ki devwale tout sekrè fè ou konnen sa ki pral rive.
30 As for me, this secret is not made clear to me because of any wisdom which I have more than any living man, but in order that the sense of the dream may be made clear to the king, and that you may have knowledge of the thoughts of your heart.
Konnen byen, monwa, se pa paske mwen gen plis konprann pase tout moun ki fè m' rive konnen sekrè sa a. Men, se pou wa a ka rive konnen sans rèv li te fè a, pou l' ka konprann tout lide sa yo ki t'ap travay nan tèt li a.
31 You, O King, were looking, and a great image was there. This image, which was very great, and whose glory was very bright, was placed before you: its form sent fear into the heart.
Monwa, ou fè yon vizyon. Ou wè yon gwo estati byen wo kanpe devan ou. Li te klere kou sa m' pa konnen. Bagay pou fè moun pè anpil.
32 As for this image, its head was made of the best gold, its breast and its arms were of silver, its middle and its sides were of brass,
Tèt li te fèt an lò, lestonmak li ak de bra l' yo te fèt an ajan, vant li ak de kwis li yo te fèt an kwiv,
33 Its legs of iron, its feet were in part of iron and in part of potter's earth.
de janm li yo te fèt an fè, pye l' yo menm te mwatye an fè, mwatye an tè krich.
34 While you were looking at it, a stone was cut out, but not by hands, and it gave the image a blow on its feet, which were of iron and earth, and they were broken in bits.
Antan ou t'ap gade l' konsa, yon wòch pran woule desann soti kote l' soti a, san se pa pesonn ki voye l', li vin frape estati a nan pye l' yo ki te fèt mwatye an fè mwatye an tè krich, li kraze yo an miyèt moso.
35 Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which gave the image a blow became a great mountain, covering all the earth.
Lamenm, fè, tè krich, kwiv, ajan, lò tonbe atè, yo tounen pousyè tankou pousyè sou glasi nan sezon chalè. Yon van soufle, li pote yo ale, li pa kite yon ti remak. Men, wòch ki te frape estati a pran grandi, li grandi, li grandi jouk li tounen yon gwo mòn ki kouvri tout latè.
36 This is the dream; and we will make clear to the king the sense of it.
Sa se rèv ou te fè a. Koulye a, monwa, mwen pral fè ou konnen sa li vle di.
37 You, O King, king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory,
Monwa, se ou ki pi gran pase tout wa. Se Bondye nan syèl la ki mete ou wa, li ba ou pouvwa, li ba ou fòs, li fè moun fè lwanj ou.
38 Wherever the children of men are living; into whose hands he has given the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven, and has made you ruler over them all, you are the head of gold.
Li mete ou chèf pou ou gouvènen tout moun ki rete sou latè, pou ou gouvènen ata zannimo ak zwazo. Se ou menm ki tèt an lò a.
39 And after you another kingdom, lower than you, will come to power; and a third kingdom, of brass, ruling over all the earth.
Apre ou, va gen yon lòt pèp k'ap pran gouvènman an. Men, gouvènman wa li a p'ap ka wè devan pa ou la. Konsa tou apre sa, va gen yon twazyèm pèp k'ap pran gouvènman an ankò. Se va tankou kwiv devan lò ou la. Li menm tou, l'ap donminen sou tout latè.
40 And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron: because, as all things are broken and overcome by iron, so it will have the power of crushing and smashing down all the earth.
Apre sa ankò, va gen yon katriyèm pèp k'ap pran gouvènman an. L'ap di kou fè. L'ap kraze brize. Menm jan fè kraze tout bagay, se konsa l'ap kraze lòt nasyon yo, l'ap fè yo tounen pousyè.
41 And as you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's work and part of iron, there will be a division in the kingdom; but there will be some of the strength of iron in it, because you saw the iron mixed with the potter's earth.
Ou te wè tou de pye yo ak tout zòtèy yo te mwatye an fè mwatye an tè krich. Sa vle di, ape gen divizyon nan dènye gouvènman an. L'ap yon ti jan solid tankou fè, menm jan ou te wè fè melanje ak tè krich la.
42 And as the toes of the feet were in part of iron and in part of earth, so part of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will readily be broken.
Zòtèy yo tou te mwatye fè, mwatye tè krich. Sa vle di, yon pòsyon nan gouvènman sa a pral gen fòs, yon lòt pòsyon pral fèb.
43 And as you saw the iron mixed with earth, they will give their daughters to one another as wives: but they will not be united one with another, even as iron is not mixed with earth.
Ou te wè fè a te melanje ak tè krich la, men yo pa t' pran. Konsa tou, chèf gouvènman sa yo pral seye mete tèt yo ansanm. Y'ap fè de fanmi yo marye yonn ak lòt. Men, sa p'ap mache.
44 And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.
Nan rèy dènye chèf sa yo, Bondye nan syèl la pral fè yon lòt chèf parèt, l'ap pran gouvènman an nan men yo pou tout tan. Li p'ap janm pase yon lòt li. Men, l'ap kraze tout lòt pèp yo, l'ap detwi yo. Li menm l'ap kanpe la pou tout tan.
45 Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that by it the iron and the brass and the earth and the silver and the gold were broken to bits, a great God has given the king knowledge of what is to take place in the future: the dream is fixed, and its sense is certain.
Ou te wè ki jan yon wòch te pran desann soti kote l' soti a, san se pa pesonn ki voye l', epi li kraze gwo estati ki te fèt an fè, kwiv, tè krich, ajan ak lò a, pa vre? Bondye ki gen anpil pouvwa a fè monwa konnen sa ki gen pou rive nan tan k'ap vini an. Rèv ou te fè a klè. Sans mwen fè ou konnen an sèten.
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar, falling down on his face, gave worship to Daniel, and gave orders for an offering and spices to be given to him;
Lè sa a, wa Nèbikadneza tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Danyèl, epi li bay lòd pou yo fè ofrann bèt pou touye ak lòt ofrann ba li.
47 And the king made answer to Daniel and said, Truly, your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and an unveiler of secrets, for you have been able to make this secret clear.
Wa a di Danyèl konsa: -Se vre wi! Bondye ou la gen plis pouvwa pase tout lòt bondye yo. Se li ki chèf tout wa, se li menm ki fè moun konnen sekrè ki kache, depi ou te ka fè m' konprann sans rèv mwen te fè a.
48 Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him offerings in great number, and made him ruler over all the land of Babylon, and chief over all the wise men of Babylon.
Wa a mete Danyèl nan yon gwo pozisyon, li fè l' kado anpil bèl bagay, li nonmen l' gouvènè pwovens Babilòn lan, li mete l' sèl chèf sou tout nèg save lavil Babilòn yo.
49 And at Daniel's request, the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego authority over the business of the land of Babylon: but Daniel was kept near the king's person.
Danyèl mande wa a pou li mete Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego reskonsab òganize travay gouvènman an nan pwovens Babilòn lan. Danyèl menm te rete nan palè wa a.
