< 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;
Alò, nan dezyèm ane règn Nebucadnetsar a, Nebucadnetsar te fè rèv yo. Epi lespri li te twouble, e 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;
Konsa, wa a te pase lòd pou rele fè antre tout majisyen yo, mèt zetwal yo, moun ki fè cham, mèt wanga ak Kaldeyen yo pou pale ak wa a, e fè l tande ki rèv li te fè yo. Konsa, yo te antre e te 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 te di yo: “Mwen te fè yon rèv e lespri m vin twouble pou l ta konprann rèv la.”
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.”
Kaldeyen yo te pale ak wa a an Arameyen: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan! Pale rèv la a sèvitè ou yo e nou va deklare entèpretasyon li.”
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 te reponn a Kaldeyen yo: “Lòd mwen an fin etabli: si nou pa fè m konnen rèv la ak entèpretasyon li a, nou va vin chire mòso an mòso, e lakay nou va vin yon pil ranblè.
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 deklare rèv la ak entèpretasyon li, nou va resevwa nan men m, kado, rekonpans ak gwo lonè. Pou sa, fè m deklarasyon rèv la ak entèpretasyon li.”
7 They have answered a second time, and are saying, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we show the interpretation.”
Yo te reponn yon dezyèm fwa. Yo te di: “Kite wa a eksplike rèv la a sèvitè li yo e nou va deklare entèpretasyon li.”
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 te reponn: “Mwen konnen, anverite, ke nou ap jwe pou tan, paske nou te wè ke lòd mwen an gentan fin byen etabli.
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.”
Men si nou pa fè m konnen rèv la, ap gen yon sèl dekrè pou nou. Paske nou te vin antann nou, youn ak lòt pou fè manti ak pale pawòl konwonpi devan m, jiskaske bagay la vin chanje. Pou sa a, fè m konnen rèv la pou m ka konnen ke nou kapab deklare entèpretasyon li ban mwen.”
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;
Kaldeyen yo te reponn wa a, e te di: “Nanpwen yon nonm sou latè ki kapab deklare bagay la bay wa a, otan ke okenn gwo wa oswa chèf pa t janm mande okenn bagay konsa a okenn majisyen, mèt wanga, oswa Kaldeyen.
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.”
Anplis, bagay ke wa a mande a difisil, e nanpwen okenn lòt moun ki ka deklare li bay wa a sof ke dye yo, ki pa rete nan chè mòtèl.”
12 Therefore the king has been furious and very angry, and has said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Akoz sa, wa a te vin ranpli ak kòlè ak gwo mekontantman, e li te bay lòd pou detwi tout mesye saj Babylone yo.
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.
Konsa, dekrè a te pibliye ke mesye saj yo ta dwe touye. Konsa, yo t ap chache Daniel ak zanmi li yo pou touye yo.
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.
Men Daniel te reponn ak sajès e ak bon konprann a Ajoc, chèf kò gad a wa a, ki te ale deyò pou touye mesye saj a Babylone yo.
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 te di a Ajoc, chèf pou wa a: “Pou ki rezon dekrè a wa a prese konsa?” Epi Ajoc te pale Daniel tout bagay la.
16 and Daniel has gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to show the interpretation to the king.
Konsa, Daniel te antre anndan e te fè yon demann a wa a pou li ta bay li tan, pou l ta ka deklare entèpretasyon an bay a wa a.
17 Then Daniel has gone to his house, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he has made the thing known,
Epi Daniel te ale lakay li. Li te fè zanmi li yo Hanania, Mischaël, ak Azaria okouran konsènan bagay sila a,
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.
pou yo ta kapab fè yon demann mizerikòd a Bondye syèl la konsènan mistè sa a, pou Daniel ak zanmi li yo pa ta vin detwi ak lòt nan mesye saj a Babylone 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.
Konsa, mistè a te revele a Daniel nan yon vizyon lanwit 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.
Daniel te di: “Kite non Bondye vin beni jis pou tout tan, paske sajès ak pouvwa se pou Li.
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.
Se Li menm ki chanje tan ak sikonstans yo. Li retire wa e Li etabli wa. Li bay sajès a moun saj yo, e konesans a moun ki gen bon konprann.
22 He is revealing deep and hidden things; He has known what [is] in darkness, and light has dwelt with Him.
Se Li menm ki revele sekre pwofond yo. Li fè parèt sa ki nan tenèb yo, e se limyè a ki rete avè L.
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.”
A Ou menm, O Bondye de papa zansèt mwen yo, mwen remèsi Ou. Mwen bay Ou lwanj, paske Ou te ban mwen sajès ak pouvwa. Menm koulye a, Ou te fè m konnen sa ke nou te mande Ou a, Paske Ou te revele a nou menm pwoblem a 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.”
Akoz sa, Daniel te antre kote Ajoc, ke wa a te chwazi pou detwi mesye saj a Babylone yo. Li te antre e te pale avè l konsa: “Pa detwi mesye saj a Babylone yo! Pran m antre nan prezans a wa a, e mwen va deklare entèpretasyon an bay wa a.”
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.”
Konsa, Ajoc te mennen Daniel byen vit devan prezans a wa a, e li te pale avèk li konsa: “Mwen te twouve yon nonm pami egzile Juda yo ki kapab fè wa a konnen entèpretasyon an.”
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 te di a Daniel, ki te rele Beltschatsar: “Èske ou kapab fè m konnen rèv ke m te fè a, ak entèpretasyon li an?”
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;
Daniel te reponn devan wa a. Li te di: “Konsènan mistè sou sila wa a te mande a, ni mesye saj yo, ni mèt zetwal yo, ni majisyen yo, ni divinò yo p ap kapab deklare sa a wa a.
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 mistè yo, e Li te fè konnen a Wa Nebucadnetsar sa ki va rive nan dènye jou yo. Men rèv ak vizyon nan tèt ou yo sou kabann ou an, se konsa:
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.
“Konsènan ou menm, o wa, pandan sou kabann ou an, refleksyon ou te vire vè sa ki ta vin rive nan tan ki gen pou vini yo. Epi Sila ki fè revelasyon mistè yo te fè ou konnen sa k ap vini yo.
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.
Men selon mwen menm, mistè sa a pa t revele a mwen menm akoz sajès ki plis pase tout lòt moun k ap viv yo, men pou bi ke entèpretasyon an ta kapab vin konnen a wa a, e ke ou ta ka konprann refleksyon a panse ou yo.
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.
“Ou menm, O wa, ou t ap gade e vwala, te gen yon sèl gwo estati. Estati sa a, ki te byen laj e tèlman bèl, te kanpe devan ou e aparans li te etonan.
32 This image! Its head [is] of fine gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze;
Tèt estati a an lò fen, lestomak ak bra li an ajan, vant li ak kwis li an bwonz,
33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.
janm li an fè, pye li, yon pati an fè e yon pati an ajil.
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;
Ou te kontinye gade, jiskaske yon pyè wòch te taye san men moun, e li ta frape estati a sou pye li ki fèt an fè ak ajil la e li te kraze yo an mòso.
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.
Epi fè a, ajil la, bronz ak ajan an te vin kraze nan menm moman an e te vin tankou pay ki sòti sou glasi vannen nan gran sezon. Konsa, van te pote yo ale jiskaske yo pa t menm jwenn tras yo. Men wòch ki te frape estati a te vin fè yon gwo mòn, e te ranpli tout latè.
36 This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we tell before the king.
“Se sa ki te rèv la. Konsa, nou va bay lentèpretasyon li devan wa a.
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;
Ou menm, O wa, ou se wadèwa yo, a sila Bondye syèl la te bay wayòm nan, pouvwa, pwisans ak glwa a.
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.
Epi nenpòt kote fis a lòm yo rete, oswa bèt nan chan yo, oswa zwazo syèl yo, Li te bay yo nan men ou, e Li te fè ou chèf sou yo. Ou se 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 leve yon lòt wayòm ki enferyè a ou menm e yon lòt twazyèm ak bwonz, ki va renye 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.
Epi va gen yon katriyèm wayòm ak fòs tankou fè. Menm jan ke fè a kraze e fann tout bagay yo, konsa, tankou fè ki kraze vin fè anpil mòso yo, li va vin kraze e fann tout sila yo an mòso.
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.
Nan sila ou te wè pye ak dwèt pye yo, yon pati an fè ak yon pati an ajil la, li va yon wayòm divize. Men li va genyen nan li kapasite pou vin di kon fè, jan ou te wè fè a mele ak ajil 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.
Dwèt pye li yo te mele fè ak kanari; konsa, yon pati nan wayòm nan va fò e yon pati va frajil.
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.
Epi jan ou te wè fè a mele ak ajil òdinè a, yo va vin mele youn ak lòt nan jèm a lòm; men yo p ap kole byen youn ak lòt, menm jan fè a pa mele ak kanari.
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 jou a wa sila yo, Bondye syèl yo va etabli yon wayòm ki p ap janm detwi, e wayòm sa a p ap lese pou yon lòt pèp. Li va kraze e mete fen a tout wayòm sila yo, men li va, li menm dire 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.”
Jan ou te wè ke yon wòch te taye sòti sou yon mòn san sèvi ak men moun e ke li te kraze fè a, bwonz lan, ajil la, ajan an, ak lò a gran Bondye a te fè konnen a wa a sa ki va rive nan tan k ap vini an. Donk, rèv la vrè e entèpretasyon li fèt ak fidelite.”
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.
Konsa, Wa Nebucadnetsar te tonbe sou figi li. Li te rann omaj a Daniel e li te pase lòd pou prezante li ak yon ofrann ak lansan ki santi bon.
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 te reponn Daniel. Li te di: “Anverite, Bondye ou a se yon Dye a tout dye yo, yon Senyè a wa yo, e youn ki devwale mistè yo; paske ou te vin gen kapasite pou revele mistè sila 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.
Konsa, wa a te Leve Daniel, te bay li anpil gwo kado. Li te fè li chèf sou tout pwovens a Babylone yo, e li te vin chèf an tèt a tout mesye saj a Babylone 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.
Daniel te fè yon demann a wa a, e wa a te chwazi Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego sou tout afè yo nan pwovens Babylone, men se te Daniel ki te rete nan pòtay a wa a.
