Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing is true, but the appointed time of trial is long; and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
Nan twazyèm ane Cyrus, wa Perse la, yon mesaj te revele a Daniel, ki te rele Belschatsar. Mesaj la te vrè; menm yon gran gè. Li te konprann mesaj la, e te gen konprann vizyon an.
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks:
Nan jou sila yo, mwen menm, Daniel, mwen t ap fè dèy pandan twa semèn.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three full weeks were fulfilled.
Mwen pa t manje okenn bon manje; ni vyann, ni diven nan pa t antre nan bouch mwen. Ni mwen pa t sèvi okenn pomad pou onksyone jiskaske tout twa semèn sila yo te fin akonpli.
4 And on the four-and-twentieth day of the first month, I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel:
Nan venn-katriyèm jou nan premye mwa a, pandan mwen te akote gran rivyè a, ki se Hiddékel,
5 and I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz;
mwen te leve zye m gade e vwala, te gen yon sèten nonm abiye an len, ak senti l mare ak yon sentiwon lò pi, ki sòti Uphaz.
6 and his body was like a chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet as the look of burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Anplis, kò li te tankou krizolit, figi li kon aparans ak loray, zye li kon tòch flanm dife, bra li ak pye li tankou bwonz byen poli, e son a pawòl li yo, kon son a yon gran foul.
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision; and the men that were with me saw not the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Alò, mwen menm, Daniel, mwen tou sèl te wè vizyon an, pandan mesye ki te avè m yo pa t wè vizyon an, men yon gwo laperèz te vin tonbe sou yo, e yo te kouri ale kache kò yo.
8 And I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; and my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
Konsa, mwen te rete sèl, e mwen te wè gran vizyon sila a. Konsa, pa t gen fòs ki te rete nan mwen, paske koulè po m te vin pal tankou moun ki mouri, e mwen te pèdi tout fòs mwen nèt.
9 And I heard the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, I fell into a deep stupor on my face, and my face to the ground.
Men mwen te tande son a pawòl li yo. Depi mwen te tande son pawòl li yo, mwen te tonbe nan yon gwo somèy sou figi mwen, figi m atè nèt.
10 And behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and the palms of my hands.
Konsa, gade byen, yon men te touche mwen ki te plase m sou men ak jenou m yo.
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent. And as he spoke this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Li te di mwen: “O Daniel, nonm ki trè byeneme a, konprann pawòl ke mwen va pale ou yo. Kanpe dwat! Paske mwen te voye kote ou koulye a.” Lè li te pale pawòl sa a, mwen menm, mwen te kanpe. Mwen t ap tranble.
12 And he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come because of thy words.
Alò, li te di mwen: “Pa pè, Daniel, paske depi premye jou ke ou te dedye kè ou pou konprann sa a, lè ou te imilye ou devan Bondye ou a, pawòl ou yo te vin tande. Konsa, mwen te vini akoz pawòl ou yo.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Men prens a wayòm Perse la te kanpe kont mwen pandan venteyen jou; epi gade byen Micaël, youn nan chèf a prens yo, te vin ede m, paske mwen te rete la sèl ak wa a Perse yo.
14 And I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people at the end of the days: for the vision is yet for [many] days.
Koulye a, mwen gen tan vini pou bay ou konprann de sa ki va rive a pèp ou a nan dènye jou yo, paske vizyon an apatyen a anpil jou ki poko rive.”
15 And as he was speaking with me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
Lè li te pale ak mwen konsènan pawòl sila yo, mwen te vire figi mwen vè tè a e mwen pa t ka pale menm.
16 And behold, one after the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; and I opened my mouth and spoke, and said unto him that stood before me, My lord, by reason of the vision my pains are turned upon me, and I retain no strength.
Epi gade byen, yon bagay ki te sanble ak yon fis a lòm te touche lèv mwen. Konsa, mwen te louvri bouch mwen pou te pale, e mwen te di a sila ki te kanpe devan m nan: “O senyè mwen an, akoz vizyon an chagren te antre nan mwen e tout fòs mwen te kite m.
17 And how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remaineth no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
Paske kòman yon kalite sèvitè konsa kapab pale ak youn tankou senyè mwen an? Epi pou mwen, fòs pa rete nan mwen, ni okenn souf pa rete nan mwen.”
18 Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me;
Epi sila a ki te sanble ak fis a lòm nan, te touche mwen ankò e te ban m fòs.
19 and he said, Fear not, man greatly beloved; peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And as he was speaking with me I was strengthened, and I said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
Li te di mwen: “O nonm trè byeneme a, pa pè. Lapè avèk ou. Pran kouraj! Wi, se pou vin vanyan!” Alò, depi lè li te fin pale ak mwen an, mwen te resevwa fòs, e mwen te di: “Kite senyè mwen an pale, paske ou te ban m fòs.”
20 And he said, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? And now I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, behold, the prince of Greece shall come.
Konsa, li te di: “Èske ou pa konprann poukisa mwen te vin kote ou a? Men mwen va retounen koulye a, pou goumen kont prens a Perse la. Lè mwen ale, gade byen prens a Grèce la va vini.
21 However, I will declare unto thee that which is set down in the scripture of truth; and there is not one that sheweth himself strong with me against these, but Michael your prince.
Men mwen va di ou sa ki enskri nan pawòl verite a. Nanpwen okenn moun k ap kanpe avè m kont sila yo, sòf ke Micaël, prens ou an.
