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.
“Nan premye ane Darius, Mèd la, Mwen te leve pou m ta kapab vin yon ankourajman ak yon pwotèj pou li.
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.
“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 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Konsa, yon wa pwisan va vin leve. Li va gouvène ak gwo otorite e fè sa li pito.
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.
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 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.
“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 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 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 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;
“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 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.
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 And he shall come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
Li va antre nan wayòm a wa Sid la, men li va retounen nan pwòp peyi 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Then he shall turn his face toward the strongholds of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
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 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.
“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 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.
“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 arms of the flood shall be swept away from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
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 work deceitfully; and he shall come up and become strong, with a little nation.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 eat of his food shall destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall down slain.
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 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.
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 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.
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 return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
“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 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.
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 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.
“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 do wickedly against the covenant shall be corrupt by blandishments; but the people that know their God shall show strength, and prevail.
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 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.
“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 Now when they shall stumble, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves unto them with blandishments.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 gods of his fathers; and neither the desire of women, nor any god, shall he regard; for he shall magnify himself above 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 of strongholds; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and costly 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 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.
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 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.
“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 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.
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 forth his hand also upon the countries; and the 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 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.
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 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 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 tents of his palace between the seas and the beauteous holy mountain; and he shall come to his end, and none shall help 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.
