Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar a vision appeared to me, [even] to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
Nan twazyèm ane règn a Belschatsar a, wa a, yon vizyon te parèt a mwen menm, Daniel, apre sa ki parèt a mwen an premye a.
2 And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Aelam, and I was on the [bank of] Ubal.
Mwen te gade nan vizyon an e pandan mwen t ap gade a, mwen te nan Suse, palè ki nan pwovens Élam nan. Epi mwen te gade nan vizyon an, e mwen te bò Kanal Ulaï la.
3 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a ram standing in front of the Ubal; and he had high horns; and one was higher than the other, and the high one came up last.
Mwen te leve zye m pou te gade e vwala, yon belye ak de kòn ki te kanpe devan kanal la. Alò, de kòn yo te long, men youn te pi long ke lòt la, e sa ki pi long lan ki te leve an dènye.
4 And I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.
Mwen te wè belye a ki t ap frape tèt li vè lwès, vè nò e vè sid. Pa t gen bèt ki te ka kanpe devan l, ni pa t gen youn ki te kab delivre soti anba men li. Men li te fè sa li te pito, e te leve tèt li Wo.
5 And I was considering, and, behold, a he-goat came from the southwest on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the earth: and the goat [had] a horn between his eyes.
Pandan mwen t ap gade a, vwala yon mal kabrit t ap vini soti nan lwès sou fas tout tè a, san touche tè a, e kabrit la te gen yon kòn parèt byen klè antre zye li.
6 And he came to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing in front of the Ubal, and he ran at him with the violence of his strength.
Li te pwoche kote belye ki te gen de kòn nan, belye ke m te wè kanpe devan kanal la, e li te kouri fò sou li ak gwo chalè pwisans li.
7 And I saw him coming up close to the ram, and he was furiously enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke both his horns: and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him on the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Mwen te wè li vin bò kote belye a e li te anraje sou li. Epi li te frape belye a. Li te kraze de kòn li yo, e belye a pa t gen fòs pou reziste ak li. Konsa, li te voye l a tè, e te ponpe sou li. Pa t gen moun ki pou delivre belye a devan pouvwa li.
8 And the he-goat grew exceedingly great: and when he was strong, his great horn was broken; and four other [horns] rose up in its place toward the four winds of heaven.
Epi kabrit mal la te agrandi pouvwa li anpil, anpil. Men depi li te vin pwisan an, pi gwo kòn nan te kase. Epi li te ranplase ak kat kòn, ki parèt byen klè, ki te sòti vè kat van syèl yo.
9 And out of one of them came forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:
Youn nan kòn yo te parèt yon ti jan piti e li te grandi byen vit vè sid, vè lès e vè peyi laglwa a.
10 and it magnified itself to the host of heaven; and there fell to the earth [some] of the host of heaven and of the stars, and they trampled on them.
Li te grandi rive jis nan lame syèl la. Li te fè kèk nan lame a ak kèk nan zetwal yo tonbe atè, e li te ponpe sou yo.
11 And [this shall be] until the chief captain shall have delivered the captivity: and by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed, and he prospered; and the holy place shall be made desolate.
Li te menm agrandi pwòp tèt li pou l ta ka egal ak Chèf Tèt lame syèl la. Konsa, li te retire nan men l sakrifis nòmal la, e plas sanktyè Li a te jete anba.
12 And a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Epi akoz transgresyon, lame a va vin livre a kòn nan ansanm ak sakrifis nòmal la. Li te voye verite a jis atè, e sa te fè plezi, e li te pwospere.
13 And I heard one saint speaking, and a saint said to a certain one speaking, How long shall the vision continue, [even] the removal of the sacrifice, and the bringing in of the sin of desolation; and [how long] shall the sanctuary and host be trampled?
Alò, mwen te tande sila ki sen an ap pale, e yon lòt ki sen te di a sila ki t ap pale a: “Pandan konbyen tan vizyon a sakrifis nòmal la va kontinye, pandan transgresyon an ap ravaje e kite ni sen lye an ansanm ak lame a vin foule anba pye?”
14 And he said to him, Evening and morning [there shall be] two thousand and four hundred days; and [then] the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
Li te di mwen: “Pandan de-mil-twa-san swa ak maten. Epi alò, sen lye a va vin pwòp ankò.”
15 And it came to pass, as I, [even] I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought to understand it, that, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Lè mwen menm, Daniel, te fè vizyon an, mwen te chache konprann li. Epi gade byen, kanpe devan mwen se te yon bagay ki te sanble ak yon moun.
16 And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ubal; and he called, and said, Gabriel, cause that man to understand the vision.
Mwen te tande vwa a yon moun antre de rebò kanal Ulaï la. Li te rele fò e li te di: “Gabriel, fè nonm sa a konprann vizyon an.”
17 And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he came, I was struck with awe, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man: for yet the vision is for an appointed time.
Konsa, li te vin toupre kote mwen te kanpe a. Lè l te parèt, mwen te gen gwo laperèz, e mwen te tonbe sou figi m. Men li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, konprann vizyon an; paske vizyon an apatyen a bagay a dènye tan yo.”
18 And while he spoke with me, I fell upon my face to the earth: and he touched me, and set me on my feet.
Alò, pandan li t ap pale avè m, Mwen te tonbe nan yon pwofon somèy, ak figi m atè, men li te touche mwen, e te fè m kanpe dwat.
19 And he said, Behold, I make you know the things that shall come to pass at the end of the wrath: for the vision [is] yet for an appointed time.
Li te di: “Gade byen, mwen va fè ou konnen sa k ap vin rive nan dènye epòk gwo kòlè a, paske li apatyen a moman ki chwazi pou lafen an.
20 The ram which you saw that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.
Belye ke ou te wè ak de kòn yo reprezante wa a Mèdes ak Perse yo.
21 The he-goat is the King of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he is the first king.
Epi kabrit la se wayòm a Grèce la, e gran kòn antre zye li yo, se premye wa a.
22 And [as for] the one that was broken, in whose place there stood up four horns, four kings shall arise out of his nation, but not in their [own] strength.
Kòn ki te kase a ak kat kòn ki te leve nan plas li a se kat wayòm ki va leve sòti nan nasyon sa a, malgre se pa avèk pouvwa li.
23 And at the latter time of their kingdom, when their sins are coming to the full, there shall arise a king bold in countenance, and understanding riddles.
“Epi nan dènye pati wayòm yo a, lè transgresè yo fin fè tout transgresyon yo, yon wa va leve ki fiwos, e plen devinèt koken.
24 And his power [shall be] great, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and prosper, and practise, and shall destroy mighty men, and the holy people.
Pouvwa li a va trè pwisan, men se pa ak pwòp pouvwa li. Konsa, li va detwi anpil ak gran pwisans. Li va gen gran siksè, e li va fè sa li pito. Li va detwi mesye pwisan ak moun ki sen yo.
25 And the yoke of his chain shall prosper: [there is] craft in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by craft shall destroy many, and he shall stand up for the destruction of many, and shall crush them as eggs in his hand.
Atravè manèv li yo, se ak riz k ap avanse nan men li. Konsa, li va leve tèt li wo nan kè l, epi li va detwi anpil moun pandan yo ansekirite. Anplis, li va kanpe kont Prens dè prens yo, men li va vin kraze san èd moun.
26 And the vision of the evening and morning that was mentioned is true: and do you seal the vision; for [it is] for many days.
“Vizyon sila a, aswè ak maten ki te pale a, se verite. Men sele vizyon an, pou l pa pale menm, paske li apatyen a anpil jou ki gen pou vini.”
27 And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king's business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood [it].
Konsa, mwen menm, Daniel, te vin malad pandan plizyè jou. Lè m te leve ankò, mwen te kontinye fè zafè a wa a. Mwen te etone de vizyon an e mwen pa t gen moun ki te konprann li.
