< Daniel 11 >
1 Also I, in ye first yere of Darius of ye Medes, euen I stood to incourage and to strengthen him.
“Nan premye ane Darius, Mèd la, Mwen te leve pou m ta kapab vin yon ankourajman ak yon pwotèj pou li.
2 And now wil I shew thee ye trueth, Behold, there shall stand vp yet three Kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be farre richer then they all: and by his strength, and by his riches he shall stirre vp all against the realme of Grecia.
“Epi koulye a, mwen va di ou verite a. Gade byen, va gen twa wa ankò ki va leve Perse. Epi katriyèm nan va bokou pi rich ke tout lòt yo. Lè li vin fò akoz richès li yo, li va pwovoke tout pouvwa li a kont wayòm Grèce la.
3 But a mightie King shall stand vp, that shall rule with great dominion, and doe according to his pleasure.
Konsa, yon wa pwisan va vin leve. Li va gouvène ak gwo otorite e fè sa li pito.
4 And when he shall stand vp, his kingdome shall be broken, and shall be deuided towarde the foure windes of heauen: and not to his posteritie, nor according to his dominion, which he ruled: for his kingdome shall be pluckt vp, euen to be for others besides those.
Epi lè li fin leve, wayòm li an va vin kraze e divize vè kat van syèl yo, men se pa a pwòp desandan pa li, ni selon otorite ke li te gouvène, paske wayòm li an va vin dechouke e vin bay a lòt moun ke yo menm.
5 And ye King of ye South shalbe mightie, and one of his princes, and shall preuaile against him, and beare rule: his dominio shalbe a great dominion.
“Epi wa a Sid la va vin fò, ansanm ak youn nan prens li yo ki va vin pi fò ke li, e li va domine li. Dominasyon li an va vrèman gran.
6 And in the ende of yeeres they shalbe ioyned together: for the Kings daughter of ye South shall come to the King of the North to make an agreement, but she shall not reteine the power of the arme, neither shall he continue, nor his arme: but she shall be deliuered to death, and they that brought her, and he that begate her, and he that comforted her in these times.
Apre kèk ane, yo va fè yon alyans e fi wa a Sid la va vin kote wa Nò a pou antann yo pou yo gen lapè. Men fi a p ap ka kenbe pozisyon pouvwa li a. Ni li menm wa Sid la, li p ap ka kenbe pouvwa pa li a; men fi a va vin livre, ansanm ak sila ki te mennen l antre ak sila ki te devni papa l, menm ak sila ki te bay li soutyen nan lè sa yo.
7 But out of the bud of her rootes shall one stand vp in his stead, which shall come with an armie, and shall enter into the fortresse of the King of the North, and doe with them as he list, and shall preuaile,
“Men youn nan desandan fanmi fi yo va leve nan plas li. Li va vin kont lame pa yo, pou l antre nan sitadèl wa Nò a. Li va aji kont yo, e li va vankre yo.
8 And shall also carie captiues into Egypt their gods with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of siluer and of golde, and he shall continue more yeeres then the King of the North.
Anplis dye, imaj metal, veso presye an ajan ak lò yo, li va pote yo an kaptivite an Egypte. Konsa, li va sispann atake wa Nò a pandan kèk ane.
9 So the King of ye South shall come into his kingdome, and shall returne into his owne land.
Li va antre nan wayòm a wa Sid la, men li va retounen nan pwòp peyi li.
10 Wherefore his sonnes shall be stirred vp, and shall assemble a mightie great armie: and one shall come, and ouerflowe, and passe through: then shall he returne, and be stirred vp at his fortresse.
Fis li yo va rasanble yon gwo lame ki va vin debòde e travèse. Konsa, yo va retounen fè lagè rive jis nan pwòp sitadèl li a.
11 And the King of the South shall be angrie, and shall come foorth, and fight with him, euen with the King of the North: for he shall set foorth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be giuen into his hand.
“Wa Sid la va anraje e vin goumen ak wa Nò a. Epi dezyèm nan va leve yon gwo foul lame kont premye a, men foul lame sila a va livre nan men a premye a.
12 Then the multitude shall be proude, and their heart shall be lifted vp: for hee shall cast downe thousands: but he shall not still preuaile.
Epi foul lame a va vin leve retire. Kè li va vin egzalte e li va fè sòlda tonbe pa di-milye, men, li p ap ka enpoze li.
13 For the King of the North shall returne, and shall set foorth a greater multitude then afore, and shall come foorth (after certeine yeeres) with a mightie armie, and great riches.
Paske, wa Nò a va retounen e leve yon foul ki pi gwo ke sa avan an. Epi li va vini nan fen tan yo, menm nan fen ane yo, avèk yon gwo lame e avèk anpil minisyon.
14 And at the same time there shall many stand vp against the King of the South: also the rebellious children of thy people shall exalt them selues to establish the vision, but they shall fall.
“Alò, nan tan sila yo, va gen anpil moun ki va leve kont wa Sid la. Sila ki vyolan pami pèp nou an va leve yo menm pou etabli vizyon an, men yo va tonbe.
15 So the King of the North shall come, and cast vp a mount, and take the strong citie: and the armes of the South shall not resist, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
Epi wa Nò a va vini, li va monte yon teras e li va pran yon vil byen fòtifye. Konsa, lame a Sid yo p ap ka kanpe, ni meyè solda byen chwazi li yo. Li p ap gen okenn fòs pou l ka kanpe.
16 But he that shall come, shall doe vnto him as he list, and none shall stand against him: and he shall stand in the pleasant land, which by his hand shalbe consumed.
Men sila ki vini kont li an va fè sa li pito, e nanpwen moun ki ka kanpe devan li. Konsa, li va kanpe nan peyi laglwa a, e nan men li va gen destriksyon.
17 Againe he shall set his face to enter with the power of his whole kingdome, and his confederates with him: thus shall he doe, and he shall giue him the daughter of women, to destroy her: but she shall not stande on his side, neither bee for him.
Li va mete fas li pou vini ak pouvwa a tout wayòm li a. Li va mennen avèk li yon pwopozisyon lapè, ke li va etabli. Li va anplis bay li fi a fanm nan pou detwi wayòm nan. Men li p ap kanpe pou li, ni bay li soutyen.
18 After this shall he turne his face vnto the yles, and shall take many, but a prince shall cause his shame to light vpon him, beside that he shall cause his owne shame to turne vpon himselfe.
Apre sa li va vire fas li vè peyi kot yo, e li va kaptire anpil nan yo. Men yon chèf va fè repwòch li a sispann. Anplis, li va fè l peye pou ensolans li.
19 For he shall turne his face toward the fortes of his owne land: but he shall be ouerthrowen and fall, and be no more founde.
Konsa, li va vire fas li vè fòterès pwòp peyi li a, men li va glise tonbe, e li p ap ka releve ankò.
20 Then shall stand vp in his place in the glorie of the kingdome, one that shall raise taxes: but after fewe dayes he shall be destroyed, neither in wrath, nor in battell.
“Epi nan plas li a, yon moun va koze yon mèt kontribisyon a travèse wayòm nan pou kontwole glwa li. Malgre sa, nan kèk jou, li va vin detwi, malgre se pa ni nan kòlè, ni nan batay.
21 And in his place shall stand vp a vile person, to whom they shall not giue the honour of the kingdome: but he shall come in peaceably, and obteine the kingdome by flatteries.
“Nan plas li a, yon nonm meprizab va vin leve, a sila tit a wa a pa t vin bay. Men li va vini nan yon tan trankil e li va sezi wayòm nan ak ti manèv koken flatè moun.
22 And the armes shall be ouerthrowen with a flood before him, and shall be broken: and also the prince of the couenant.
Lame debòde peyi a va soti devan l, e vin kraze nèt, ansanm ak prens akò a.
23 And after the league made with him, he shall worke deceitfully: for he shall come vp, and ouercome with a small people.
Apre yon akò lapè fin fèt ak li, li va fè travay desepsyon. Li va monte reyisi pran pouvwa a ak yon ti ekip tou piti.
24 He shall enter into the quiet and plentifull prouince, and he shall doe that which his fathers haue not done, nor his fathers fathers: he shall deuide among them the pray and the spoyle, and the substance, yea, and he shall forecast his deuises against the strong holdes, euen for a time.
Nan tan lapè a, li va antre nan pati wayòm ki pi rich la, e li va fè sa ke zansèt li yo pa t janm fè, ni zansèt zansèt li yo. Li va distribye piyaj ak byen yo pami yo. Konsa, li va fòme yon plan kont sitadèl yo, men sèlman pou yon ti tan.
25 Also he shall stirre vp his power and his courage against the King of the South with a great armie, and the King of the South shall be stirred vp to battell with a very great and mightie armie: but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast and practise against him.
“Li va pwovoke pwisans ak kouraj li kont wa a Sid la ak yon gwo lame. Konsa, wa Sid la va fòme yon vrèman gwo lame pou fè lagè, men li p ap ka kanpe, paske yo va fòme yon plan kont li.
26 Yea, they that feede of the portion of his meate, shall destroy him: and his armie shall ouerflowe: and many shall fall, and be slaine.
Sila ki te kon manje pi bon manje nan men l, va detwi li, epi lame li a va bale nèt. Konsa, anpil moun va tonbe mouri.
27 And both these Kings hearts shall be to do mischiefe, and they shall talke of deceite at one table: but it shall not auaile: for yet the ende shall be at the time appointed.
Selon toulède wa sa yo, kè yo apiye vè fè mal. Yo va pale manti youn ak lòt sou menm tab, men sa p ap reyisi, paske fen an toujou gen pou vini nan lè apwente a.
28 Then shall he returne into his land with great substance: for his heart shall be against the holy couenant: so shall he doe and returne to his owne land.
Konsa, li va retounen nan sid, nan peyi li ak anpil piyaj. Men kè li va kont akò sen an, e li va pran desizyon retounen nan peyi li.
29 At the time appointed he shall returne, and come toward the South: but the last shall not be as the first.
“Nan lè apwente a, li va retounen antre nan Sid la. Men nan fwa sa a, li p ap menm jan li te ye fwa avan an.
30 For the shippes of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shalbe sorie and returne, and freat against the holy couenant: so shall he doe, he shall euen returne and haue intelligence with them that forsake the holy couenant.
Paske bato a Kittim yo va vini kont li. Akoz sa, li va vin gen chagren. Li va retounen byen anraje kont akò sen an, e li va aji. Konsa, li va retounen pran desizyon pou antann li ak sila ki vyole akò sen yo.
31 And armes shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the Sanctuarie of strength, and shall take away the dayly sacrifice, and they shall set vp the abominable desolation.
“Sòlda li yo va pwofane sanktyè a, fò a menm, e fè sakrifis nòmal la vin sispann. Konsa, yo va fè monte abominasyon dezolasyon an.
32 And such as wickedly breake ye couenant, shall he cause to sinne by flatterie: but the people that do know their God, shall preuaile and prosper.
Ak lèv flatè, li va sedwi sila ki vyole akò yo, men pèp ki konnen Bondye a va kanpe fèm pou aji.
33 And they that vnderstand among the people, shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by sword, and by flame, by captiuitie and by spoile many dayes.
“Sila ki gen bon konprann pami pèp la va bay konesans a anpil moun. Malgre sa, yo va tonbe pa nepe, pa dife, pa kaptivite e pa piyaj pandan anpil jou.
34 Nowe when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a litle helpe: but many shall cleaue vnto them fainedly.
Alò, lè yo tonbe, yo va resevwa yon ti èd, men anpil lòt moun va vin jwenn ak yo an ipokrizi.
35 And some of the of vnderstanding shall fall to trie them, and to purge, and to make them white, till the time be out: for there is a time appointed.
Kèk nan sila ki gen bon konprann yo va tonbe pou yo ka rafine pirifye, e fè yo blan, jis menm lè dènye tan an rive. Akoz li toujou gen pou vini nan lè apwente a.
36 And the King shall doe what him list: he shall exalt himselfe, and magnifie himselfe against all, that is God, and shall speake marueilous things against ye God of gods, and shall prosper, till ye wrath be accomplished: for ye determination is made.
“Konsa, wa a va fè sa li pito. Li va vin egzalte. Li va bay tèt li glwa pi wo pase tout dye yo, e li va pale anpil bagay byen move kont Bondye a dye yo. Konsa, li va pwospere jiskaske endiyasyon an fini, paske dekrè ki pibliye a va akonpli.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desires of women, nor care for any God: for he shall magnifie himselfe aboue all.
Li p ap montre okenn respè pou dye a zansèt li yo, ni pou dezi fanm, ni li p ap gen respè pou okenn lòt dye. Paske li va leve tèt li ak glwa pi wo ke yo tout.
38 But in his place shall he honour the god Mauzzim, and the god whom his fathers knewe not, shall he honour with golde and with siluer, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Men olye de sa, li va bay glwa a dye a fòterès yo. Yon dye ke zansèt li yo pa t konnen, li va bay glwa ak lò, ajan, pyè presye ak trezò.
39 Thus shall he do in the holdes of Mauzzim with a strange god whom he shall acknowledge: he shall increase his glory, and shall cause them to rule ouer many and shall deuide ye land for gaine.
Li va aji kont fòterès ki pi fò yo ak soutyen a yon dye etranje. Nenpòt moun ki rekonèt li, li va ogmante yo ak glwa, e li va fè yo domine sou anpil, e va divize teritwa a pou yon pri.
40 And at ye end of time shall the King of the South push at him, and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlewind with charets, and with horsemen, and with many ships, and he shall enter into ye countreis, and shall ouerflow and passe through.
“Nan lè lafen an wa Sid la va atake li. Wa Nò a va rive kont li ak cha, ak chevalye, e ak anpil bato. Epi li va antre nan peyi yo, debòde yo e pase anndan yo.
41 He shall enter also into the pleasant land, and many countreis shalbe ouerthrowen: but these shall escape out of his hand, euen Edom and Moab, and the chiefe of the children of Ammon.
Anplis, li va antre nan Peyi Laglwa a, e anpil peyi va ranvèse. Men sila yo va delivre soti nan men li: Edom Moab, ak premye nan fis a Ammon yo.
42 He shall stretch foorth his hands also vpon the countreis, and ye land of Egypt shall not escape.
Anplis, li va lonje men li kont lòt peyi yo, e peyi Egypte la p ap chape.
43 But he shall haue power ouer the treasures of golde and of siluer, and ouer all the precious things of Egypt, and of the Lybians, and of the blacke Mores where he shall passe.
Men li va pran kontwòl tout trezò kache ak lò, ajan ak tout bagay presye an Egypte yo. Libyen yo ak Etyopyen yo va swiv pye li yo.
44 But the tidings out of the East and the North shall trouble him: therefore he shall goe foorth with great wrath to destroy and roote out many.
Men rimè ki sòti nan Lès ak nan Nò va vin twouble li. Li va soti deyò ak gwo kòlè pou detwi e fè anpil disparèt nèt.
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace betweene the seas in the glorious and holy mountaine, yet he shall come to his end, and none shall helpe him.
Li va fè monte tant a palè li a antre lanmè a ak Mòn Sen Laglwa a. Malgre sa, li va rive nan fen li e nanpwen moun k ap bay li soutyen.
