Daniel 2
1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar has dreamed dreams, and his spirit moves itself, and his sleep has been against him;
Wa Nèbikadneza t'ap mache sou dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen, lè li fè divès rèv. Sa te boulvèse lespri l' anpil. Li pa t' ka dòmi.
2 and the king says to call for enchanters, and for conjurers, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king;
Li fè chache divinò, moun ki li zetwal, moun ki fè cham ak nèg save pou yo vin esplike wa a rèv li fè yo. Lè yo rive, yo kanpe devan wa a.
3 and the king says to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is moved to know the dream.”
Wa a di yo konsa: -Mwen fè yon rèv k'ap boulvèse m' anpil. Mwen ta renmen nou fè m' konnen sa li vle di.
4 And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaic, “O king, live for all ages, tell the dream to your servants, and we show the interpretation.”
Mesye yo reponn wa a nan lang arameyen. Yo di l' konsa: -Se pou wa a viv pou tout tan! Se sèvitè ou nou ye. Rakonte nou rèv la, n'a esplike ou sa l' vle di.
5 The king has answered and said to the Chaldeans, “The thing is gone from me; if you do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, you are made pieces, and your houses are made dunghills;
Wa a reponn, li di mesye yo: -Mwen deside se nou ki pou rakonte m' rèv mwen te fè a, lèfini, pou nou fè m' konnen sa li vle di. Si nou pa kapab, m'ap fè yo depatcha nou, m'ap fè yo kraze kay nou ra pye tè.
6 and if the dream and its interpretation you show, gifts, and fee, and great glory you receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation you show me.”
Men, si nou rakonte m' rèv mwen te fè a, si nou fè m' konnen sa li vle di, m'ap fè nou kado anpil bagay. M'ap fè bèl bagay pou nou. Annou wè. Rakonte m' rèv la. Di m' sa li vle di.
7 They have answered a second time, and are saying, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we show the interpretation.”
Mesye yo reponn wa a yon dezyèm fwa: -Si monwa ta vle rakonte nou rèv la, n'a fè l' konnen sa li vle di.
8 The king has answered and said, “Of a truth I know that you are gaining time, because that you have seen that the thing is gone from me,
Wa a di: -Mwen sèten nou soti pou n' fè lè, paske nou konnen mwen fin deside
9 [so] that, if you do not cause me to know the dream—one is your sentence, seeing a lying and corrupt word you have prepared to speak before me, until the time is changed, therefore tell the dream to me, then I know that you show me its interpretation.”
si nou pa rakonte m' rèv la, m'ap fè nou tout pase menm jan an. Nou mete tèt ansanm pou nou ban m' manti, paske nou kwè yon lè sa va chanje. Se nou ki pou rakonte m' rèv mwen te fè a. Lè sa a, m'a konnen nou ka di m' sa rèv la vle di.
10 The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, “There is not a man on the earth who is able to show the king’s matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, has asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;
Nèg save yo reponn wa a, yo di l' konsa: -Pa gen pesonn sou tout latè ki ka fè wa a konnen sa l'ap mande la a. Se poutèt sa, pa janm gen wa, li te mèt gran kou l' gran, li te mèt gen pouvwa pase sa n' pa konnen, ki ka mande yon majisyen, yon moun ki li zetwal osinon yon nèg save bagay konsa.
11 and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and there are no others that show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
Sa monwa ap mande la a se yon bagay ki difisil anpil. Pa gen moun sou latè ki ka fè l' pou ou. Se bondye yo ase ki ka fè sa. Men, bondye yo pa rete nan mitan moun.
12 Therefore the king has been furious and very angry, and has said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Lè wa a tande sa, li move. Li fè yon sèl kòlè, li bay lòd touye dènye nèg save ki lavil Babilòn.
13 And the sentence has gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
Se konsa yo fè tout moun nan peyi a konnen yo tapral touye tout nèg save yo. Y' al chache Danyèl ak zanmi l' yo pou touye yo tou.
14 Then Daniel has replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who has gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.
Lè sa a, Danyèl al jwenn Ajòk, kòmandan gad palè wa a ki t'ap pase pou li al touye nèg save yo. Li pran san li pou l' pale byen avè l'.
15 He has answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, “Why [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?” Then Arioch has made the thing known to Daniel,
Li di Ajòk, ofisye wa a: -Poukisa wa a bay lòd sevè sa a? Ajòk rakonte Danyèl sa ki pase.
16 and Daniel has gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to show the interpretation to the king.
Danyèl al mande wa a pou li ba li yon dèle pou l' ka fè wa a konnen sa rèv la vle di.
17 Then Daniel has gone to his house, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he has made the thing known,
Apre sa, Danyèl al lakay li, epi li di Ananya, Michayèl ak Azarya, zanmi l' yo, sa ki genyen.
18 and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they do not destroy Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Li mande pou yo lapriyè Bondye ki nan syèl la pou li gen pitye pou yo, pou li fè yo konprann rèv la, konsa yo p'ap touye ni yo menm ni lòt nèg save lavil Babilòn yo.
19 Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret has been revealed. Then Daniel has blessed the God of the heavens.
Menm jou lannwit sa a, Bondye fè Danyèl konprann rèv la nan yon vizyon. Lè sa a, Danyèl fè lwanj Bondye ki nan syèl la.
20 Daniel has answered and said, “Let the Name of God be blessed from age even to age, for wisdom and might—for they are His.
Li di: -benediksyon pou Bondye pou tout tan tout tan. Se li ki gen tout konesans, se li ki gen tout fòs.
21 And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.
Li kontwole sezon yo ak lè pou chak bagay rive. Se li ki desann wa yo, se li ki moute wa yo. Se li ki bay nèg save yo bon konprann ak nèg lespri yo konesans.
22 He is revealing deep and hidden things; He has known what [is] in darkness, and light has dwelt with Him.
Se li ki fè moun konnen tout sekrè ki kache. Li konnen tou sa ki nan fènwa. Limyè klere kote l' pase.
23 You, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might You have given to me; and now, You have caused me to know that which we have sought from You, for the king’s matter You have caused us to know.”
Bondye zansèt mwen yo, m'ap fè lwanj ou, m'ap di ou mèsi paske ou ban m' fòs ak bon konprann. Ou fè m' konnen sa nou te mande ou la, ou fè nou konnen sa ki t'ap boulvèse wa a.
24 Therefore Daniel has gone up to Arioch, whom the king has appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he has gone, and thus has said to him, “You do not destroy the wise men of Babylon, bring me up before the king, and I show the interpretation to the king.”
Lamenm, Danyèl al jwenn Ajòk, nonm wa a te bay lòd al touye tout nèg save lavil Babilòn yo. Li di l' konsa: -Pa touye nèg save lavil Babilòn yo. Mennen m' bò kote wa a, m'a di l' sa rèv li te fè a vle di.
25 Then Arioch in haste has brought up Daniel before the king, and thus has said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, who makes known the interpretation to the king.”
Ajòk prese mennen Danyèl bay wa a. Epi li di: -Monwa, mwen jwenn yon nonm nan jwif yo te depòte yo ki ka di ou sa rèv ou te fè a vle di.
26 The king has answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, “Are you able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?”
Wa a di Danyèl yo te rele Beltechaza a: -Eske ou ka di m' rèv mwen te fè a? Eske ou ka fè m' konnen sa l' vle di?
27 Daniel has answered before the king and said, “The secret that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to show to the king;
Danyèl reponn: -Monwa, pa gen nèg save, pa gen divinò, pa gen majisyen, ata moun ki konn li zetwal, ki ka fè ou konnen sa.
28 but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
Men, gen yon Bondye nan syèl la ki devwale tout sekrè ki kache. Se li k'ap fè ou konnen sa ki gen pou rive pita. Men rèv ou te fè a, men vizyon ou te wè pandan ou t'ap dòmi an.
29 You, O king, your thoughts on your bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets has caused you to know that which [is] to be.
Lè sa a, monwa t'ap dòmi, tèt ou pran travay sou sa ki gen pou rive pita. Epi Bondye ki devwale tout sekrè fè ou konnen sa ki pral rive.
30 As for me—not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living has this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of your heart you know.
Konnen byen, monwa, se pa paske mwen gen plis konprann pase tout moun ki fè m' rive konnen sekrè sa a. Men, se pou wa a ka rive konnen sans rèv li te fè a, pou l' ka konprann tout lide sa yo ki t'ap travay nan tèt li a.
31 You, O king, were looking, and behold, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing before you, and its appearance [is] terrible.
Monwa, ou fè yon vizyon. Ou wè yon gwo estati byen wo kanpe devan ou. Li te klere kou sa m' pa konnen. Bagay pou fè moun pè anpil.
32 This image! Its head [is] of fine gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze;
Tèt li te fèt an lò, lestonmak li ak de bra l' yo te fèt an ajan, vant li ak de kwis li yo te fèt an kwiv,
33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.
de janm li yo te fèt an fè, pye l' yo menm te mwatye an fè, mwatye an tè krich.
34 You were looking until a stone has been cut out without hands, and it has struck the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it has broken them small;
Antan ou t'ap gade l' konsa, yon wòch pran woule desann soti kote l' soti a, san se pa pesonn ki voye l', li vin frape estati a nan pye l' yo ki te fèt mwatye an fè mwatye an tè krich, li kraze yo an miyèt moso.
35 then broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and the wind has carried them away, and no place has been found for them: and the stone that struck the image has become a great mountain, and has filled all the land.
Lamenm, fè, tè krich, kwiv, ajan, lò tonbe atè, yo tounen pousyè tankou pousyè sou glasi nan sezon chalè. Yon van soufle, li pote yo ale, li pa kite yon ti remak. Men, wòch ki te frape estati a pran grandi, li grandi, li grandi jouk li tounen yon gwo mòn ki kouvri tout latè.
36 This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we tell before the king.
Sa se rèv ou te fè a. Koulye a, monwa, mwen pral fè ou konnen sa li vle di.
37 You, O king, are a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, has given to you;
Monwa, se ou ki pi gran pase tout wa. Se Bondye nan syèl la ki mete ou wa, li ba ou pouvwa, li ba ou fòs, li fè moun fè lwanj ou.
38 and wherever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the bird of the heavens, He has given into your hand, and has caused you to rule over them all; you [are] this head of gold.
Li mete ou chèf pou ou gouvènen tout moun ki rete sou latè, pou ou gouvènen ata zannimo ak zwazo. Se ou menm ki tèt an lò a.
39 And after you another kingdom arises lower than those, and another third kingdom of bronze, that rules over all the earth.
Apre ou, va gen yon lòt pèp k'ap pran gouvènman an. Men, gouvènman wa li a p'ap ka wè devan pa ou la. Konsa tou apre sa, va gen yon twazyèm pèp k'ap pran gouvènman an ankò. Se va tankou kwiv devan lò ou la. Li menm tou, l'ap donminen sou tout latè.
40 And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as iron that is breaking all these, it beats small and breaks.
Apre sa ankò, va gen yon katriyèm pèp k'ap pran gouvènman an. L'ap di kou fè. L'ap kraze brize. Menm jan fè kraze tout bagay, se konsa l'ap kraze lòt nasyon yo, l'ap fè yo tounen pousyè.
41 As for that which you have seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter’s clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it, because that you have seen the iron mixed with miry clay.
Ou te wè tou de pye yo ak tout zòtèy yo te mwatye an fè mwatye an tè krich. Sa vle di, ape gen divizyon nan dènye gouvènman an. L'ap yon ti jan solid tankou fè, menm jan ou te wè fè melanje ak tè krich la.
42 As for the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle.
Zòtèy yo tou te mwatye fè, mwatye tè krich. Sa vle di, yon pòsyon nan gouvènman sa a pral gen fòs, yon lòt pòsyon pral fèb.
43 Because you have seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering with one another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Ou te wè fè a te melanje ak tè krich la, men yo pa t' pran. Konsa tou, chèf gouvènman sa yo pral seye mete tèt yo ansanm. Y'ap fè de fanmi yo marye yonn ak lòt. Men, sa p'ap mache.
44 And in the days of these kings the God of the heavens raises up a kingdom that is not destroyed for all time, and its kingdom is not left to another people: it beats small and ends all these kingdoms, and it stands for all time.
Nan rèy dènye chèf sa yo, Bondye nan syèl la pral fè yon lòt chèf parèt, l'ap pran gouvènman an nan men yo pou tout tan. Li p'ap janm pase yon lòt li. Men, l'ap kraze tout lòt pèp yo, l'ap detwi yo. Li menm l'ap kanpe la pou tout tan.
45 Because that you have seen that out of the mountain a stone has been cut without hands, and it has beaten the iron small, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation steadfast.”
Ou te wè ki jan yon wòch te pran desann soti kote l' soti a, san se pa pesonn ki voye l', epi li kraze gwo estati ki te fèt an fè, kwiv, tè krich, ajan ak lò a, pa vre? Bondye ki gen anpil pouvwa a fè monwa konnen sa ki gen pou rive nan tan k'ap vini an. Rèv ou te fè a klè. Sans mwen fè ou konnen an sèten.
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar has fallen on his face, and to Daniel he has done homage, and present, and sweet things, he has said to pour out to him.
Lè sa a, wa Nèbikadneza tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Danyèl, epi li bay lòd pou yo fè ofrann bèt pou touye ak lòt ofrann ba li.
47 The king has answered Daniel and said, “Of a truth [it is] that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.”
Wa a di Danyèl konsa: -Se vre wi! Bondye ou la gen plis pouvwa pase tout lòt bondye yo. Se li ki chèf tout wa, se li menm ki fè moun konnen sekrè ki kache, depi ou te ka fè m' konprann sans rèv mwen te fè a.
48 Then the king has made Daniel great, and many great gifts he has given to him, and has caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the prefects over all the wise men of Babylon.
Wa a mete Danyèl nan yon gwo pozisyon, li fè l' kado anpil bèl bagay, li nonmen l' gouvènè pwovens Babilòn lan, li mete l' sèl chèf sou tout nèg save lavil Babilòn yo.
49 And Daniel has sought from the king, and he has appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.
Danyèl mande wa a pou li mete Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego reskonsab òganize travay gouvènman an nan pwovens Babilòn lan. Danyèl menm te rete nan palè wa a.
