Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Baltasar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he comprehended it in few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he said:
Nan menm lanne Bèlchaza te moute wa peyi Babilòn, Danyèl fè yon rèv, li wè yon vizyon antan li t'ap dòmi sou kabann li. Apre sa, li kouche tou sa li te wè nan rèv la sou papye. Men sa li te ekri a:
2 I saw in my vision by night, and behold the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
-Jou lannwit sa a, mwen fè yon vizyon. Mwen wè kat gwo van yo t'ap soufle, yo t'ap boulvèse gwo lanmè a.
3 And four great beasts, different one from another, came up out of the sea.
Kat gwo bèt moute soti nan lanmè a, yonn pa t' sanble lòt.
4 The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her.
Premye bèt la te sanble ak yon lyon, men li te gen de gwo zèl tankou malfini. Antan m'ap gade l' konsa, yo rache zèl li yo. Yo leve l', yo fè l' kanpe tankou yon moun sou pa t' dèyè l' yo. Lèfini, yo fè li gen lespri tankou moun.
5 And behold another beast like a bear stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh.
Dezyèm bèt la te sanble ak yon lous ki te kanpe panche sou yon bò. Li te gen twa zo kòt nan bouch li. Yon vwa pale avè l', li di l' konsa: -Annou wè! Manje vyann mezi ou kapab.
6 After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
Antan m'ap gade toujou, yon lòt bèt parèt. Li te sanble ak yon leyopa, men li te gen kat zèl sou do li, tankou zèl zwezo. Li te gen kat tèt tou. Yo te ba li pouvwa sou tout bagay.
7 After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns.
Antan m'ap gade toujou nan vizyon mwen t'ap fè jou lannwit sa a, yon katriyèm bèt parèt. Li te sovaj anpil. Depi ou gade l' se pou ou pè. Li te gen anpil fòs avèk gwo dan an fè. Li t'ap manje tou sa ki tonbe anba bouch li, li kraze yo ak dan li, li pilonnen rès la anba pye l'. Li pa t' sanble menm ak twa lòt bèt ki te parèt anvan l' yo. Li te gen dis kòn.
8 I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung out of the midst of them: and three of the first horns were plucked up at the presence thereof: and behold eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
Antan m'ap gade kòn yo konsa, mwen wè yon lòt ti kòn tou piti k'ap pouse nan mitan yo. Li rache twa nan kòn ki te la deja yo. Ti kòn sa a te gen je tankou moun ak yon bouch ki t'ap di tout kalite pawòl awogan pou joure Bondye.
9 I beheld till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire.
Mwen t'ap gade toujou, mwen wè yo ranje yon bann fotèy. Yon granmoun ki te la depi nan konmansman vin chita sou yonn nan fotèy yo. Rad ki te sou li a te blan kou koton. Cheve nan tèt li te tankou lenn mouton byen pwòp. Fotèy li a te tankou flanm dife, li te moute sou wou ki te tankou chabon dife tou limen.
10 A swift stream of fire issued forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened.
Dife t'ap koule soti nan fotèy la devan li tankou yon larivyè. Te gen mil milye moun la ki t'ap sèvi l'. Te gen dimil milyon moun kanpe la devan l'. Tribinal la te pare pou jijman an. Yo louvri liv yo.
11 I beheld because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt:
Antan mwen t'ap gade, mwen tande vwa ti kòn lan ki t'ap pale byen fò avèk awogans. Antan m'ap gade konsa, yo touye katriyèm bèt la, yo pran kadav li, yo voye l' nan dife a, li boule nèt.
12 And that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that times of life were appointed them for a time, and time.
Yo wete tout otorite nan men lòt bèt yo, men yo kite yo vivan pou yon ti tan ankò.
13 I beheld therefore in the vision of the night, and lo, one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the Ancient of days: and they presented him before him.
Nan menm vizyon mwen t'ap fè lannwit lan, mwen wè yon fòm ki te sanble ak yon moun. Li t'ap vini sou tèt nwaj yo nan syèl la. Li pwoche bò granmoun ki te la depi nan konmansman an. Yo prezante l' ba li.
14 And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed.
Yo ba li baton kòmandan an, yo ba li pouvwa ak otorite pou tout pèp sou latè, pou tout peyi, pou moun tout ras ki pale tout lang sèvi li. L'ap kòmande pou tout tan. Gouvènman li p'ap janm fini.
15 My spirit trembled, I Daniel was affrighted at these things, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Mwen menm Danyèl, lè m' wè tout bagay sa yo, tèt mwen te boulvèse. Vizyon yo te fè m' pè anpil.
16 I went near to one of them that stood by, and asked the truth of him concerning all these things, and he told me the interpretation of the words, and instructed me:
Mwen pwoche bò yonn nan moun ki te kanpe la yo, mwen mande l' pou l' fè m' konprann tout bagay sa yo. Se konsa li esplike m' yo.
17 These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which shall arise out of the earth.
Li di m' konsa: -Kat gwo bèt sa yo, se kat wa ki gen pou parèt sou latè.
18 But the saints of the most high God shall take the kingdom: and they shall possess the kingdom for ever and ever.
Men, moun k'ap viv pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la pral resevwa gouvènman an nan men yo. Y'ap kenbe l' pou tout tan tout tan.
19 After this I would diligently learn concerning the fourth beast. which was very different from all, and exceeding terrible: his teeth and claws were of iron: he devoured and broke in pieces, and the rest he stamped upon with his feet:
Apre sa, mwen te vle konnen plis sou katriyèm bèt la ki pa t' tankou twa premye yo, bèt ki te move anpil la, avèk dan an fè l' yo ak grif an kwiv li yo, bèt ki t'ap manje tou sa ki te tonbe anba bouch li, ki t'ap kraze yo ak dan l', ki t'ap pilonnen rès yo anba pye l'.
20 And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest.
Mwen te vle plis esplikasyon sou dis kòn ki te sou tèt li yo ak sou ti kòn ki te parèt apre a epi ki te fè twa nan lòt kòn yo tonbe. Ti kòn sa a te gen je tankou moun ak yon bouch ki t'ap di tout kalite pawòl awogan pou joure Bondye. Li te parèt pi gwo pase tout lòt yo.
21 I beheld, and lo, that horn made war against the saints, and prevailed over them,
Antan m'ap gade konsa, mwen wè ti kòn lan pran fè lagè ak tout moun k'ap sèvi Bondye yo. Li fè yo soumèt devan li.
22 Till the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the saints of the most High, and the time came, and the saints obtained the kingdom.
Lè sa a, granmoun ki te la depi nan konmansman an parèt. Li rann jijman an favè moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Jou a te rive pou pèp Bondye a te resevwa pouvwa a nan men yo.
23 And thus he said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Men esplikasyon moun lan te ban mwen: -Katriyèm bèt la, se katriyèm gouvènman ki pral gen sou latè. Li p'ap tankou lòt yo. Li pral devore tout moun sou latè, l'ap pilonnen yo anba pye l', l'ap kraze yo.
24 And the ten horns of the same kingdom, shall be ten kings: and another shall rise up after them, and he shall be mightier than the former, and he shall bring down three kings.
Dis kòn yo, se dis wa ki pral alatèt gouvènman sa a. Apre yo, ap gen yon lòt wa ki p'ap tankou lòt yo. L'ap jete twa nan wa yo.
25 And he shall speak words against the High One, and shall crush the saints of the most High: and he shall think himself able to change times and laws, and they shall be delivered into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time.
L'ap pale Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la mal, l'ap malmennen moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. L'ap fè lide chanje tout fèt ak tout prensip lalwa Bondye a. Pandan twazan sis mwa, l'ap kenbe pèp Bondye a anba men l'.
26 And judgment shall sit, that his power may be taken away, and be broken in pieces, and perish even to the end.
Apre sa, tribinal la va reyini pou rann jijman an. L'a wete pouvwa a nan men l', l'ap kraze l' nèt, li p'ap janm chèf ankò.
27 And that the kingdom, and power, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, may be given to the people of the saints of the most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings shall serve him, and shall obey him.
Y'ap pran pouvwa, otorite ak gouvènman tout gwo peyi ki sou latè yo, y'ap bay pèp k'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Pèp sa a ap gouvènen tankou yon wa pou tout tan. Tout chèf sou latè pral sèvi li, y'ap obeyi li.
28 Hitherto is the end of the word. I Daniel was much troubled with my thoughts, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the word in my heart.
Se tou sa li te rakonte m'. Mwen menm Danyèl, mwen te boulvèse anpil, mwen chanje koulè. Mwen kenbe tout bagay sa yo nan kè m'.
