Daniel 5
1 King Belshazzar made a great feast to a thousand of his princes, and dranke wine before the thousand.
Yon jou, wa Bèlchaza bay yon gwo resepsyon pou mil moun nan gwo zotobre peyi a. Yo t'ap bwè diven ansanm.
2 And Belshazzar whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring him the golden and siluer vessels, which his father Nebuchad-nezzar had brought from the Temple in Ierusalem, that the King and his princes, his wiues, and his concubines might drinke therein.
Antan yo t'ap bwè konsa, Bèlchaza bay lòd pou y' al pran gwo gode fèt an lò ak gode fèt an ajan papa l', Nèbikadneza, te pran nan tanp lavil Jerizalèm lan. Li te fè chache yo pou l' te bwè ladan yo ansanm ak chèf li yo, madanm li yo ak fanm kay li yo.
3 Then were brought the golden vessels, that were taken out of the Temple of the Lords house at Ierusalem, and the King and his princes, his wiues and his concubines dranke in them.
Lamenm, yo pote gode an lò ak gode an ajan yo, epi yo tout yo tanmen bwè ladan yo.
4 They drunke wine and praysed the gods of golde, and of siluer, of brasse, of yron, of wood and of stone.
Yo t'ap bwè diven, yo t'ap fè lwanj bondye pa yo ki fèt an lò, an ajan, an kwiv, an bwa, an fè ak an wòch.
5 At the same houre appeared fingers of a mans hand, which wrote ouer against the candlesticke vpon the plaister of the wall of ye Kings palace, and the King sawe the palme of the hand that wrote.
Yo rete konsa, yo wè yon men moun parèt. Li pran ekri sou miray palè a, kote limyè lanp lan te pi klere a. Wa a wè bout men ki t'ap ekri a.
6 Then the Kings countenance was changed, and his thoughtes troubled him, so that the ioynts of his loynes were loosed, and his knees smote one against the other.
Li chanje koulè, li vin pè. Li santi tout kò l' aprale, jenou l' yo pran tranble.
7 Wherefore the King cryed loude, that they should bring the astrologians, the Caldeans and the soothsayers. And the King spake, and sayd to the wise men of Babel, Whosoeuer can reade this writing, and declare me the interpretation thereof, shalbe clothed with purple, and shall haue a chaine of golde about his necke, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdome.
Li rele byen fò, li mande pou fè chache tout divinò, tout moun ki li zetwal ak tout nèg save ki rete lavil Babilòn yo. Lè yo vini, wa a di yo konsa: -Nenpòt moun ki ka li sa ki ekri la a, lèfini ki ka fè m' konnen sa li vle di, m'ap mete gwo manto wouj la sou li, m'ap pase yon chenn an lò nan kou l'. Apre sa, m'ap ba li twazyèm plas apre m' nan gouvènman m' lan.
8 Then came all the Kings wise men, but they could neither reade the writing, nor shewe the King the interpretation.
Tout nèg save wa yo vanse. Men, pa t' gen yonn ladan yo ki te ka li sa ki ekri a, ale wè pou yo ta fè l' konnen sa li vle di.
9 Then was King Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his princes were astonied.
Wa a vin pi pè toujou, figi l' pèdi koulè. Tout chèf yo menm pa t' konn sa pou yo fè.
10 Now the Queene by reason of the talke of the King, and his princes came into the banket house, and the Queene spake, and sayd, O King, liue for euer: let not thy thoughtes trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed.
Larenn lan, manman wa a, tande tout pale fò wa a t'ap fè ansanm ak chèf li yo. Li antre nan sal resepsyon an. Li di konsa: -Monwa, mwen mande pou bondye yo ba ou lavi pou lontan ankò! Ou pa bezwen pèdi tèt ou, ou pa bezwen pè.
11 There is a man in thy kingdome, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and in the dayes of thy father light and vnderstanding and wisdome like the wisdome of the gods, was found in him: whom the King Nebuchad-nezzar thy father, the King, I say, thy father, made chiefe of the enchanters, astrologians, Caldeans, and soothsayers,
Gen yon moun nan peyi ou la ki gen lespri bondye nan syèl yo nan li. Lè papa ou te la, nèg sa a te moutre jan li gen anpil lespri, anpil konesans ak anpil bon konprann sou li tankou bondye yo. Lè sa a, papa ou, wa Nèbikadneza, te nonmen l' chèf sou tout divinò, tout majisyen, tout moun ki li zetwal ak tout nèg save yo.
12 Because a more excellent spirit, and knowledge, and vnderstanding (for hee did expound dreames, and declare hard sentences, and dissolued doubtes) were founde in him, euen in Daniel, whome the King named Belteshazzar: nowe let Daniel be called, and hee will declare the interpretation.
Danyèl sa a, papa ou te rele l' Beltechaza. Li te gen yon gwo lespri nan li, anpil konesans ak anpil konprann kifè li te konn esplike rèv ak tout bagay moun pa konprann. Li te jwenn solisyon pou tout pwoblèm. Fè chache Danyèl sa a, l'a fè ou konnen sa tout bagay sa yo vle di.
13 Then was Daniel brought before the King, and the King spake and sayd vnto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captiuitie of Iudah, whom my father the King brought out of Iewrie?
Yo mennen Danyèl devan wa a. Wa a di li: -Se ou menm Danyèl, yonn nan jwif wa Nèbikadneza, papa m', te depòte soti nan peyi Jida mennen isit la?
14 Now I haue heard of thee, that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and that light and vnderstanding and excellent wisdome is found in thee.
Mwen tande ou gen bondye yo avè ou. Ou se yon nonm ki gen anpil lespri, anpil konesans ak anpil bon konprann.
15 Now therefore, wisemen and astrologians haue bene brought before me, that they should reade this writing, and shewe me the interpretation thereof: but they could not declare the interpretation of the thing.
Yo mennen nèg save ak moun ki li zetwal pou yo li sa ki ekri la a, lèfini pou yo fè m' konnen sa li vle di. Men yo pa t' kapab.
16 Then heard I of thee, that thou couldest shewe interpretations, and dissolue doutes: nowe if thou canst reade the writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt haue a chaine of golde about thy necke, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdome.
Koulye a, mwen tande ou ka bay esplikasyon pou tout bagay moun pa konprann, ou jwenn solisyon pou tout pwoblèm. Si ou ka li sa ki ekri la a, si ou fè m' konnen sa li vle di, m'ap mete gwo manto wouj la sou ou, m'ap pase yon chenn an lò nan kou ou. Lèfini, m'ap ba ou twazyèm plas apre m' nan gouvènman m' lan.
17 Then Daniel answered, and sayd before the King, Keepe thy rewards to thy selfe, and giue thy giftes to another: yet I will reade the writing vnto the King, and shew him the interpretation.
Danyèl reponn wa a: -Ou mèt kenbe kado ou yo pou ou, osinon bay lòt moun yo. Men tout jan, monwa, m'ap li sa ki ekri a pou ou, lèfini m'ap fè ou konnen sa li vle di.
18 O King, heare thou, The most high God gaue vnto Nebuchad-nezzar thy father a kingdome, and maiestie, and honour and glory.
Monwa, Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la te fè papa ou, Nèbikadneza, wa. Li te ba li pouvwa, otorite ak anpil bèl bagay.
19 And for the maiestie that he gaue him, all people, nations, and languages trembled, and feared before him: he put to death whom he would: he smote whome he would: whome he would he set vp, and whome he would he put downe.
Bondye te sitèlman ba li pouvwa, tout pèp, moun tout ras, moun ki pale tout kalite lang te pè l'. Yo te tranble devan l'. Li te touye moun li vle, li te kite moun li vle viv. Li moute moun grad, li desann moun grad jan li vle.
20 But when his heart was puft vp, and his minde hardened in pride, hee was deposed from his kingly throne, and they tooke his honour from him.
Men, li kite lògèy vire tèt li, li vin mechan anpil, li santi li pa kanmarad pesonn. Se konsa yo wete l' sou fotèy wa a, li pèdi bèl plas sa a.
21 And hee was driuen from the sonnes of men, and his heart was made like the beastes, and his dwelling was with the wilde asses: they fed him with grasse like oxen, and his body was wet with the dewe of the heauen, till he knewe, that the most high God bare rule ouer the kingdome of men, and that he appointeth ouer it, whomsoeuer he pleaseth.
Yo mete l' deyò, yo voye l' byen lwen, yo pa kite l' mache sou moun. Lespri li tounen tankou lespri yon bèt. Li rete menm kote avèk bourik mawon, li manje zèb tankou bèf, lawouze bat li kou bèt seren. Lèfini, li rekonèt se Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la ki kontwole tout chèf sou latè, se li menm ki bay moun li vle dwa pou yo gouvènen.
22 And thou his sonne, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all these things,
Men, ou menm Bèlchaza, pitit li, ou pa t' soumèt devan l', atout ou te konnen tout bagay sa yo.
23 But hast lift thy selfe vp against the Lord of heauen, and they haue brought the vessels of his House before thee, and thou and thy princes, thy wiues and thy concubines haue drunke wine in them, and thou hast praysed the gods of siluer and golde, of brasse, yron, wood and stone, which neither see, neither heare, nor vnderstand: and the God in whose hand thy breath is and all thy wayes, him hast thou not glorified.
Ou menm tou, ou kenbe tèt ak Seyè ki nan syèl la, ou fè yo pote veso yo te pran nan tanp li a ba ou. Epi ou menm, chèf ou yo, madanm ou yo ak fanm kay ou yo, nou bwè diven ladan yo. Nou fè lwanj pou bondye fèt an lò, an ajan, an kwiv, an fè, an bwa, an wòch, bondye ki pa ka wè, ki pa ka tande, ki pa konn anyen. Men, monwa, Bondye ki kenbe lavi ou nan men l' lan, li menm ki kontwole tou sa w'ap fè yo, ou pa fè lwanj li.
24 Then was the palme of the hand sent from him, and hath written this writing.
Se poutèt sa Bondye voye bout men sa a ekri pawòl sa yo.
25 And this is the writing that he hath written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
Men sa ki ekri: Konte. Konte. Peze. Separe.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing, MENE, God hath nombred thy kingdome, and hath finished it.
Men sa sa vle di: Konte: Bondye konte konbe jou depi ou wa, li pral mete yon bout nan sa.
27 TEKEL, thou art wayed in the balance, and art found too light.
Peze: Li mete ou nan balans, li jwenn ou manke pèz.
28 PERES, thy kingdome is deuided, and giuen to the Medes and Persians.
Separe: yo pral separe peyi ki sou lòd ou a bay moun Medi yo ak moun Pès yo.
29 Then at the commandement of Belshazzar they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chaine of golde about his necke, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdome.
Lamenm, wa Bèlchaza bay lòd pou yo mete gwo manto wouj la sou Danyèl, pou yo pase yon chenn an lò nan kou li, lèfini pou yo fè tout moun konnen Danyèl se twazyèm chèf apre li nan gouvènman peyi kote l' wa a.
30 The same night was Belshazzar the King of the Caldeans slaine.
Menm jou lannwit sa a, yo touye Bèlchaza, wa lavil Babilòn lan.
31 And Darius of the Medes tooke the kingdome, being threescore and two yeere olde.
Epi, Dariyis, moun peyi Medi a, pran pouvwa a. Dariyis te gen swasanndezan sou tèt li lè sa a.
