Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared unto me, [even] to me Daniel, after that which appeared unto 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; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was in the fortress of Shushan, 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 And I lifted up mine eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; and 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 beast could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.
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 touched not 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 had seen 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 enraged with him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and 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 became exceeding great; but when he was become strong, the great horn was broken; and in its stead came up four notable ones toward the four winds of the heavens.
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 became exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauty [of the earth].
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 became 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 (And he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host, and from him the continual [sacrifice] was taken away, 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 a time of trial was appointed unto the continual [sacrifice] by reason of transgression.) And it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised 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 And I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual [sacrifice] and of the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden down 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 unto me, Until two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings: then shall the sanctuary be vindicated.
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 Daniel had seen the vision, I sought for the understanding of it, and behold, there stood before me 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; and he 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 And he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell on my face; and he said unto me, Understand, son of man; for the vision is for 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 was in a deep stupor, with my face toward the ground. And he touched me, and set me up where I had stood.
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 at the end of the indignation: for at the set time the end shall be.
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 that thou sawest having 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 goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that was 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 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up in its stead, 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 at the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors shall have come to the full, a king of bold countenance, and understanding riddles, 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 marvellously, and shall prosper, and shall practise, and shall destroy the mighty ones, and the people of the saints.
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 cunning shall he cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he will magnify [himself] in his heart, and by prosperity will corrupt many; and he will stand up against the Prince of princes: but he shall be broken without 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 evening and the morning which hath been told is true; but close thou up the vision, for it is for 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 was astonished 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.
