Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles, and drank wine before the thousand.
Belschatsar, wa a te fè yon gran fèt pou yon milye nan gwo chèf li yo, e li t ap bwè diven nan prezans a milye a gwo chèf yo.
2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
Lè Belschatsar te goute diven an, li te pase lòd pou pote veso fèt an lò ak ajan ke Nebucadnetsar, papa li, te retire nan tanp ki te Jérusalem yo, pou wa a ak prens li yo, madanm li yo ak ti mennaj li yo ta kapab bwè nan yo.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
Konsa, yo te mennen veso fèt an lò ki te sòti nan tanp lan, lakay Bondye ki te Jérusalem nan. Epi wa a ak prens li yo, madanm li yo ak ti mennaj li yo te bwè nan yo.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Yo te bwè diven an e te louwe dye a lò, ak ajan, bwonz, fè, bwa ak wòch yo.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Sibitman, men a yon moun te vin parèt. Li te kòmanse ekri anfas chandelye sou randisaj miray palè a Wa a, e wa a te wè pati nan men ki t ap ekri a.
6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
Konsa, figi a wa a te vin blanchi, refleksyon li yo te fè l gen gwo laperèz; jwen ren li te vin pèdi fòs e jenou li te kòmanse souke jiskaske youn t ap frape kont lòt.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Wa a te rele byen fò pou yo mennen mèt zetwal yo, Kaldeyen ak divinò yo. Wa a te pale e te di a mesye saj Babylone yo: “Nenpòt moun ki ka li enskripsyon sa a e eksplike entèpretasyon li, li va abiye an mov, resevwa yon kolye an lò nan kou li, e vin jwenn pozisyon kon twazyèm chèf nan peyi a.”
8 Then came in all the king's wise men, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
Alò, tout moun nan mesye saj a wa yo te antre, men yo pa t ka li enskripsyon an ni fè wa a konnen sa li vle di.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his nobles were confounded.
Epi wa Belschatsar te plen ak gwo laperèz, figi li te vin pi pal e prens li yo te vin twouble.
10 — The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet-house. The queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever! let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
Rèn nan te antre nan kay bankè a akoz pawòl a wa a ak prens li yo. Rèn nan te pale e te di: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan! Pa kite refleksyon ou yo fè ou pè, ni figi ou vin pal.
11 There is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, [even] the king thy father, made him master of the scribes, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] astrologers;
Gen yon nonm nan wayòm ou a, nan li menm twouve lespri a dye sen yo; epi nan jou a papa ou yo, limyè, bon konprann, ak sajès tankou sajès a dye yo te twouve nan li. Epi Wa Nebucadnetsar, papa ou, Wa a, te chwazi li chèf sou majisyen yo, mèt zetwal yo, Kaldeyen ak divinò yo.
12 forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and solving of problems, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Se te akoz yon lespri ekstrawòdinè, konesans, bon konprann, entèpretasyon a rèv yo, eksplikasyon a fraz ki nwa ak kapasite pou rezoud pwoblèm difisil. Tout sa te twouve nan Daniel sila a, ke wa a te rele Beltschatsar. Kounye a, kite yo rele Daniel e li va fè deklarasyon a entèpretasyon an.”
13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Konsa, Daniel te mennen devan wa a. Wa a te pale e te di a Daniel: “Èske ou se menm Daniel ki te youn nan egzile a Juda yo, ke papa mwen, wa a, te mennen soti Juda a?
14 And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and [that] light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
Alò, mwen te tande de ou menm, ke lespri a dye yo nan ou, ke konesans, bon konprann ak sajès ki depase tout moun twouve nan ou.
15 And now the wise men, the magicians, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing.
Epi koulye a, mesye saj yo, mèt zetwal yo te mennen devan m pou yo ta ka li enskripsyon sa a e fè entèpretasyon an vin konnen a mwen menm, men yo pa t ka deklare entèpretasyon a mesaj la.
16 But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and solve problems. Now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Men mwen te tande konsènan ou menm, ke ou kapab bay entèpretasyon, e rezoud pwoblèm difisil. Alò, si ou kapab li enskripsyon an, e fè mwen konnen entèpretasyon an, ou va abiye an mov, pote yon kolye an lò nan kou ou e ou va gen otorite kon twazyèm chèf nan wayòm nan.”
17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet will I read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Daniel te reponn e te di devan wa a: “Kenbe kado ou yo pou ou menm, oswa bay rekonpans ou yo a yon lòt moun. Sepandan, mwen va li enskripsyon an pou wa a, e fè l konnen lentèpretasyon an.
18 O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;
“O wa, Bondye Pi Wo a te bay souverènte, grandè ak glwa a Nebucadnetsar, papa ou.
19 and for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he exalted, and whom he would he humbled.
Akoz grandè ke Li te bay li a, tout pèp yo, nasyon ak lang yo te gen lakrent li, e te tranble devan l. Nenpòt moun li te pito, li te touye l, e nenpòt moun li te pito, li te lese l viv. Epi nenpòt moun li te pito, li te leve l e nenpòt moun li te pito, li te imilye l.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto presumption, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom, and they took his glory from him;
Men lè kè l te vin egzalte wo, lespri li te vin tèlman ògeye, ke li te aji ak awogans, li te depoze de twòn wayal li a, e glwa li a te rache soti nan men l.
21 and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the Most High God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
Anplis, li te chase lwen de lòm, kè l te vin transfòme kon kè a bèt, e li te vin rete ak bourik mawon. Yo te fè li manje zèb kon bèf, e kò l te tranpe ak lawouze syèl la jiskaske li te vin rekonèt Bondye Pi Wo a se chèf sou wayòm a lèzòm, e ke li mete chèf sou li sila ke Li pito.
22 And thou, Belshazzar, his son, hast not humbled thy heart, although thou knewest all this;
“Malgre sa, ou menm, fis li a, Belschatsar pa t imilye kè ou, malgre ou te konnen tout sa,
23 but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of the heavens; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
men ou te egzalte tèt ou kont Senyè syèl la. Konsa, yo te mennen veso lakay Li yo devan ou e ou menm ak prens ou yo, madanm ou yo, ak ti mennaj ou yo t ap bwè diven nan yo. Ou te bay lwanj a dye a ajan, lò, bwonz, fè, bwa, ak wòch yo, ki pa wè, tande, ni konprann. Men Bondye, nan men a Sila souf lavi ou ye a, pou Sila tout chemen ou yo ye a, ou pa t bay Li glwa.
24 then from before him was sent the part of the hand, and this writing hath been written.
Konsa, men an te voye devan l, e sa se enskripsyon ki te byen ekri a.
25 And this is the writing that is written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
“Alò, sa se enskripsyon ki te byen ekri a: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it;
“Sa se entèpretasyon a mesaj la: ‘MENE’—Bondye te konte wayòm ou an e te mete fen a li.
27 TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting;
‘TEKEL’—ou te peze sou balans e ou te manke.
28 PERES, Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
‘PERES’—wayòm ou an vin divize, e li va bay a moun Mèd ak 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.
Konsa, Belschatsar te pase lòd pou yo te abiye Daniel an mov, e mete yon kolye an lò nan kou li. Li te pibliye yon dekrè selon li ke Daniel te gen otorite kon twazyèm chèf nan wayòm nan.
30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
Menm nwit sa a, Belschatsar, wa Kaldeyen an te touye.
31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, [being] about sixty-two years old.
Konsa Darius, Mèd la, te resevwa wayòm nan ak anviwon laj swasann-de lane.
