< Daniel 11 >

1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to be a supporter and a stronghold unto him.
Mwen menm tou mwen te kanpe ak li pou ede l', pou soutni l' nan premye lanne rèy wa Dariyis la.
2 And now will I declare unto thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all; and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
Koulye a, mwen pral fè ou konnen verite a. Zanj lan di m' ankò: -Gen twa lòt wa ki gen pou gouvènen peyi Pès la ankò, yonn apre lòt. Apre sa, ap gen yon katriyèm wa k'ap pi rich pase tout lòt yo. Avèk richès li, l'ap chita pouvwa li byen chita, epi li pral atake gouvènman peyi Lagrès la.
3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Lè sa a, yon wa vanyan gason va parèt. Li pral gouvènen yon gwo gwo peyi. Epi l'ap fè sa li vle.
4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
Men, lè l'a fin chita pouvwa li byen chita, gwo peyi l'ap gouvènen an pral separe fè kat pòsyon. Men, se p'ap pitit li yo ki pral gouvènen nan plas li. Se va kat lòt moun. Men, yo p'ap gen pouvwa li menm li te genyen an.
5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
Wa peyi Lejip la pral vin fò anpil. Men, yonn nan jeneral lame li yo pral pi fò pase l'. Li pral gouvènen yon peyi ki pi gran pase pa l' la toujou.
6 And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement; but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begot her, and he that obtained her in those times.
Apre kèk lanne, wa peyi Lejip la pral siyen kontra ak wa peyi Siri a. Pitit fi wa peyi Lejip la pral marye ak wa peyi Siri a pou kontra a ka kenbe. Men, kontra a p'ap rete lontan, paske yo pral touye ni li, ni mari l', ni pitit li, ni moun li te mennen avè l' lè sa a.
7 But one of the shoots of her roots shall stand up in his place, and shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the stronghold of the king of the north, and shall deal with them, and shall prevail;
Kèk tan apre sa, yonn nan fanmi l' yo va moute wa. Li pral atake lame wa peyi Siri a. L'ap antre nan sitadèl wa a, l'ap goumen avè l'. L'ap soti pi fò pase l'.
8 and also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he bring into captivity into Egypt; and he shall desist some years from the king of the north.
L'ap pran tout bondye moun yo ak estati an fè yo, ansanm ak tout veso fèt an ajan ak an lò yo te gen pou fè sèvis zidòl yo, l'ap pote yo desann nan peyi Lejip. Pandan kèk tan l'ap rete sou sa l' te fè a, li p'ap pwoche bò peyi Siri a.
9 And he shall come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
Wa peyi Siri a pral atake peyi Lejip. Men, l'ap blije kase tèt tounen lakay li.
10 And his sons shall stir themselves up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, and he shall come on, and overflow, as he passes through; and he shall return and stir himself up, even to his stronghold.
Pitit gason wa peyi Siri a pral pare pou y' al goumen. Y'ap sanble yon gwo lame ak anpil sòlda. Yonn ladan yo pral parèt tankou yon gwo larivyè k'ap desann. L'ap travèse fwontyè a, l'ap atake yon fò lènmi epi l'ap kouri tounen lakay yo.
11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
Wa peyi Lejip la pral fache. Li pral leve yon gwo lame pou li al goumen ak wa peyi Siri a, l'ap fè tout sòlda lame wa peyi Siri a prizonye.
12 and the multitude shall be carried away, and his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down tens of thousands; but he shall not prevail.
L'ap kraze gwo lame wa Siri a. Li pral gonfle lestonmak li, l'ap fè touye anpil sòlda. Men, apre sa, l'ap pèdi fòs li.
13 And the king of the north shall again set forth a multitude, greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance.
Wa peyi Siri a ap tounen ankò, l'ap sanble yon lame pi gwo pase sa l' te gen anvan an. Apre kèk lanne, l'ap parèt ak yon gwo lame ak anpil zam.
14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south; also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall stumble.
Lè sa a, anpil pèp pral leve kont wa peyi Lejip la. Danyèl, jan ou te wè l' nan vizyon an, kèk lwijanboje nan moun peyi ou la pral leve kont wa a tou, men y'ap kraze yo.
15 And the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city; and the arms of the south shall not withstand; and as for his chosen people, there shall be no strength in them to withstand.
Se konsa, wa peyi Siri a pral sènen yon lavil ki gen gwo ranpa. L'ap pran l'. Sòlda lame peyi Lejip yo p'ap ka kenbe tèt avè l'. Menm pi bon nan sòlda yo p'ap gen fòs ankò pou kenbe.
16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the beauteous land, and in his hand shall be extermination.
Lame peyi Siri a pral fè sa li vle ak peyi Lejip. Pesonn p'ap ka kenbe tèt avè l'. L'ap rete kèk tan nan pi bèl peyi ki sou latè a. L'ap detwi tou sa ki tonbe anba men l'.
17 And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, but shall make an agreement with him; and he shall give him the daughter of women, to destroy it; but it shall not stand, neither be for him.
Wa Siri a ap mete nan tèt li pou l' pran tout peyi lòt wa a pou li. L'ap siyen yon kontra avè l'. Pou l' ka pran l' pi byen, l'ap ba li pitit fi li a pou madanm. Men, plan an p'ap pran, sa p'ap mache.
18 After this shall he set his face unto the isles, and shall take many; but a captain shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, he shall cause his own reproach to return upon him.
Lèfini, l'ap pase nan lanmè, l'ap atake lòt nasyon sou zile yo. L'ap pran anpil ladan yo. Men, yonn nan chèf lòt nasyon yo pral rete l' sou kous li. L'ap fè l' sispann fè awogan. L'ap fè awogans wa a tounen sou tèt wa a ankò.
19 Then he shall turn his face toward the strongholds of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
Wa a ap tounen nan fò ki nan peyi pa l' yo. Men, wè pa wè, y'ap kraze l', y'ap fini nèt avè l', l'ap disparèt.
20 Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
Apre li, ap gen yon lòt wa k'ap voye yon chèf pou peze pèp la. L'ap egzije pèp la peye taks pou yo plen kès wa a. Anvan lontan y'ap touye wa a, men se p'ap bagay k'ap rive ni an piblik ni nan lagè.
21 And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, upon whom had not been conferred the majesty of the kingdom; but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by blandishments.
Zanj lan t'ap pale toujou. Li di: -Wa k'ap parèt apre sa a pral yon vòryen ki pa t' gen dwa pou l' te nan plas la. Men, l'ap vini tou dousman, l'ap fè mannigèt, l'ap pran pouvwa a.
22 And the arms of the flood shall be swept away from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Tout moun ki konprann pou yo kenbe tèt ak li, l'ap kraze yo, l'ap disparèt yo. L'ap disparèt ata chèf kontra a.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; and he shall come up and become strong, with a little nation.
L'ap siyen kontra ak lòt nasyon yo, men se pou l' ka twonpe yo pi byen. Atout peyi l' la tou piti, chak jou l'ap vin pi fò.
24 In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers: he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance; yea, he shall devise his devices against fortresses, but only until the time.
San bay ankenn avètisman, l'ap anvayi yon pwovens ki rich anpil, l'ap fè bagay ni papa l', ni pesonn nan zansèt li yo pa t' janm fè. Lèfini, l'ap pran tout byen, tout richès li te piye lakay moun yo, l'ap separe yo bay moun pa l' yo. L'ap fè plan pou l' atake gwo fò yo, men li p'ap gen tan fè sa.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall stir himself up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.
L'ap leve, l'ap pare yon gwo lame pou l' atake peyi Lejip. Wa Lejip la menm ap pare yon gwo lame tou ak anpil zam pou koresponn ak li. Men, l'ap pèdi batay la paske y'ap fè move konplo sou do l'.
26 Yea, they that eat of his food shall destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall down slain.
Zanmi ki t'ap manje sou menm tab avè l' yo ap fè yo fini avè l'. Anpil nan sòlda li yo pral mouri. Y'ap kraze lame li a.
27 And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper, for the end remaineth yet for the time appointed.
Apre sa, de wa yo pral chita manje ansanm sou menm tab, men tou de pral gen move lide dèyè tèt yo, yonn ap bay lòt manti. Yo yonn yo p'ap jwenn sa yo bezwen an, paske lè a p'ap ko rive.
28 And he shall return to his own land with great substance; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do his pleasure, and return to his own land.
Wa peyi Siri a ap tounen nan peyi l' ak anpil richès l'ap piye nan peyi Lejip. Apre lagè a, l'ap soti pou l' kraze relijyon pèp Bondye a. L'ap fè sa li te gen lide fè a. Lèfini, l'ap tounen tounen l' nan peyi l'.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
Kèk tan apre sa, l'ap tounen desann nan peyi Lejip ankò. Men, fwa sa a, sa p'ap pase tankou premye fwa a.
30 For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be cowed, and he shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do his pleasure; and he shall return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.
Moun Kitim yo ap vin nan batiman yo, y'ap rete l' sou kous li, l'ap dekouraje. Lè l'ap tounen. l'ap fin debòde sou moun k'ap sèvi dapre kontra Bondye te siyen avèk yo a. Men, l'ap fè pa moun ki vire do bay kontra a.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the stronghold, and shall take away the continual burnt-offering, and they shall set up the detestable thing that causeth appalment.
L'ap voye sòlda nan lame li yo vin fè mete Tanp lan nan kondisyon pou moun pa ka sèvi Bondye ladan l' ankò. Y'ap aboli ofrann bèt yo te konn fè chak jou a, y'ap mete sa nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan chita byen wo nan Tanp lan.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall be corrupt by blandishments; but the people that know their God shall show strength, and prevail.
Wa a ap fè moun ki te deja vire do yo bay kontra Bondye a pran pozisyon pou li, l'ap pran tèt yo ak bèl pawòl. Men, moun k'ap sèvi Bondye yo ap kanpe fèm, y'ap kenbe tèt avè l'.
33 And they that are wise among the people shall cause the many to understand; yet they shall stumble by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, many days.
Chèf ki gen bon konprann yo va separe konesans yo ak pèp la. Men, pandan kèk tan yo pral pèsekite yo, y'ap touye yo nan batay. Yo pral boule yo nan dife jouk yo mouri. Y'ap depòte yo, y'ap piye tout zafè yo.
34 Now when they shall stumble, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves unto them with blandishments.
Pandan tout pèsekisyon sa a, pèp Bondye a va resevwa yon ti konkou. Men, anpil moun ap vin mete tèt ansanm ak yo pou defann pwòp enterè pa yo.
35 And some of them that are wise shall stumble, to refine among them, and to purify, and to make white, even to the time of the end; for it is yet for the time appointed.
Nan chèf ki gen konesans yo genyen k'ap mouri. Men, avèk lafliksyon sa a, pèp la va netwaye, l'a lave, l'a blanchi. Sa pral pase konsa jouk lè a va rive pou sa fini nan dat Bondye te fikse a.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak strange things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.
Wa peyi Siri a va fè sa li vle. Li pral gonfle lestonmak li, li pral mache di jan li pi gran pase tout bondye. L'ap di yon bann vye koze sou Bondye ki anwo tout bondye yo. L'ap fè sa konsa jouk lè pou Bondye pini l' lan va rive. Paske, tou sa Bondye te di ki pou fèt la gen pou fèt.
37 Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers; and neither the desire of women, nor any god, shall he regard; for he shall magnify himself above all.
Wa a p'ap konnen bondye zansèt li yo, li p'ap konnen bondye medam yo renmen sèvi a, li p'ap konn ankenn lòt bondye. Se tèt pa l' ase l'ap konnen. Pou li, li pi gran pase yo tout.
38 But in his place shall he honour the god of strongholds; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and costly things.
Nan plas yo, l'ap pito sèvi bondye ki pwoteje fò yo, yon bondye zansèt li yo pa t' janm konnen. L'ap ofri lò, ajan, bèl pyè bijou ak lòt bagay ki koute chè ba li.
39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god; whom he shall acknowledge, shall increase glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
Pou defann fò li yo, l'ap pran moun ki sèvi lòt bondye pou sèvi sòlda. Depi yon moun rekonèt li pou wa, l'ap fè bèl bagay pou li, l'ap mete l' chèf sou anpil moun, l'ap ba li tè pou rekonpans.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow, as he passes through.
Lè tan wa Siri a pral bout, wa Lejip la pral atake l'. Wa Siri a pral vare sou li tankou yon van siklòn, li pral mache sou li ak tout cha lagè li yo, tout kavalye l' yo ak anpil batiman. L'ap anvayi anpil peyi, l'ap tankou yon gwo larivyè k'ap desann.
41 He shall enter also into the beauteous land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
L'ap anvayi pi bèl peyi ki sou latè a, l'ap touye yon pakèt moun. Men, moun peyi Edon, moun peyi Moab ak rès moun peyi Amon yo va chape anba men l'.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Wi, l'ap anvayi tout peyi yo. Ata peyi Lejip p'ap chape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
L'ap pran tout richès peyi Lejip la pou li: lò, ajan ak tout bèl bagay ki koute chè yo. L'ap fè moun Libi yo ak moun Letiopi yo bat ba devan li.
44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall affright him; and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to take away many.
Men, l'ap vin tande nouvèl k'ap kouri soti nan nò ak bò solèy leve. L'ap pè, l'ap kase tèt tounen. L'ap debòde, l'ap kraze brize, l'ap masakre anpil moun.
45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the beauteous holy mountain; and he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
L'ap moute gwo tant li a ant lanmè a ak mòn kote tanp Bondye a kanpe a. Men, l'ap mouri, p'ap gen pesonn pou pote l' sekou.
