Daniel 5
1 Belshazzar the king has made a great feast to one thousand of his great men, and before the one thousand he is drinking wine;
Belschatsar, wa a te fè yon gran fèt pou yon milye nan gwo chèf li yo, e li t ap bwè diven nan prezans a milye a gwo chèf yo.
2 Belshazzar has said—while tasting the wine—to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that the king may drink with them, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines.
Lè Belschatsar te goute diven an, li te pase lòd pou pote veso fèt an lò ak ajan ke Nebucadnetsar, papa li, te retire nan tanp ki te Jérusalem yo, pou wa a ak prens li yo, madanm li yo ak ti mennaj li yo ta kapab bwè nan yo.
3 Then they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been taken out of the temple of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines, have drunk with them;
Konsa, yo te mennen veso fèt an lò ki te sòti nan tanp lan, lakay Bondye ki te Jérusalem nan. Epi wa a ak prens li yo, madanm li yo ak ti mennaj li yo te bwè nan yo.
4 they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Yo te bwè diven an e te louwe dye a lò, ak ajan, bwonz, fè, bwa ak wòch yo.
5 In that hour fingers of a man’s hand have come forth, and they are writing in front of the lampstand, on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing;
Sibitman, men a yon moun te vin parèt. Li te kòmanse ekri anfas chandelye sou randisaj miray palè a Wa a, e wa a te wè pati nan men ki t ap ekri a.
6 then the king’s countenance has changed, and his thoughts trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are striking against one another.
Konsa, figi a wa a te vin blanchi, refleksyon li yo te fè l gen gwo laperèz; jwen ren li te vin pèdi fòs e jenou li te kòmanse souke jiskaske youn t ap frape kont lòt.
7 The king calls mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king has answered and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, “Any man who reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, he puts on purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and he rules third in the kingdom.”
Wa a te rele byen fò pou yo mennen mèt zetwal yo, Kaldeyen ak divinò yo. Wa a te pale e te di a mesye saj Babylone yo: “Nenpòt moun ki ka li enskripsyon sa a e eksplike entèpretasyon li, li va abiye an mov, resevwa yon kolye an lò nan kou li, e vin jwenn pozisyon kon twazyèm chèf nan peyi a.”
8 Then all the wise men of the king are coming up, and they are not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king;
Alò, tout moun nan mesye saj a wa yo te antre, men yo pa t ka li enskripsyon an ni fè wa a konnen sa li vle di.
9 then King Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
Epi wa Belschatsar te plen ak gwo laperèz, figi li te vin pi pal e prens li yo te vin twouble.
10 The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, has come up to the banquet-house. The queen has answered and said, “O king, live for all ages; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor your countenance be changed:
Rèn nan te antre nan kay bankè a akoz pawòl a wa a ak prens li yo. Rèn nan te pale e te di: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan! Pa kite refleksyon ou yo fè ou pè, ni figi ou vin pal.
11 there is a man in your kingdom in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and in the days of your father, light, and understanding, and wisdom—as the wisdom of the gods—was found in him; and your father King Nebuchadnezzar, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him—your father, O king—
Gen yon nonm nan wayòm ou a, nan li menm twouve lespri a dye sen yo; epi nan jou a papa ou yo, limyè, bon konprann, ak sajès tankou sajès a dye yo te twouve nan li. Epi Wa Nebucadnetsar, papa ou, Wa a, te chwazi li chèf sou majisyen yo, mèt zetwal yo, Kaldeyen ak divinò yo.
12 because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas, and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the interpretation he shows.”
Se te akoz yon lespri ekstrawòdinè, konesans, bon konprann, entèpretasyon a rèv yo, eksplikasyon a fraz ki nwa ak kapasite pou rezoud pwoblèm difisil. Tout sa te twouve nan Daniel sila a, ke wa a te rele Beltschatsar. Kounye a, kite yo rele Daniel e li va fè deklarasyon a entèpretasyon an.”
13 Then Daniel has been caused to come up before the king; the king has answered and said to Daniel, “You are that Daniel who [is] of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, whom my father the king brought in out of Judah?
Konsa, Daniel te mennen devan wa a. Wa a te pale e te di a Daniel: “Èske ou se menm Daniel ki te youn nan egzile a Juda yo, ke papa mwen, wa a, te mennen soti Juda a?
14 And I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods [is] in you, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been found in you.
Alò, mwen te tande de ou menm, ke lespri a dye yo nan ou, ke konesans, bon konprann ak sajès ki depase tout moun twouve nan ou.
15 And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that they may read this writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to show the interpretation of the thing:
Epi koulye a, mesye saj yo, mèt zetwal yo te mennen devan m pou yo ta ka li enskripsyon sa a e fè entèpretasyon an vin konnen a mwen menm, men yo pa t ka deklare entèpretasyon a mesaj la.
16 and I have heard of you, that you are able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, behold—you are able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know—purple you put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on your neck, and you rule third in the kingdom.”
Men mwen te tande konsènan ou menm, ke ou kapab bay entèpretasyon, e rezoud pwoblèm difisil. Alò, si ou kapab li enskripsyon an, e fè mwen konnen entèpretasyon an, ou va abiye an mov, pote yon kolye an lò nan kou ou e ou va gen otorite kon twazyèm chèf nan wayòm nan.”
17 Then Daniel has answered and said before the king, “Your gifts be to yourself, and give your fee to another; nevertheless, the writing I read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;
Daniel te reponn e te di devan wa a: “Kenbe kado ou yo pou ou menm, oswa bay rekonpans ou yo a yon lòt moun. Sepandan, mwen va li enskripsyon an pou wa a, e fè l konnen lentèpretasyon an.
18 you, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor, gave to your father Nebuchadnezzar:
“O wa, Bondye Pi Wo a te bay souverènte, grandè ak glwa a Nebucadnetsar, papa ou.
19 and because of the greatness that He gave to him, all peoples, nations, and languages were trembling and fearing before him: whom he willed he was slaying, and whom he willed he was keeping alive, and whom he willed he was raising up, and whom he willed he was making low;
Akoz grandè ke Li te bay li a, tout pèp yo, nasyon ak lang yo te gen lakrent li, e te tranble devan l. Nenpòt moun li te pito, li te touye l, e nenpòt moun li te pito, li te lese l viv. Epi nenpòt moun li te pito, li te leve l e nenpòt moun li te pito, li te imilye l.
20 and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he has been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him,
Men lè kè l te vin egzalte wo, lespri li te vin tèlman ògeye, ke li te aji ak awogans, li te depoze de twòn wayal li a, e glwa li a te rache soti nan men l.
21 and he is driven from the sons of men, and his heart has been like with the beasts, and with the wild donkeys [is] his dwelling; they cause him to eat the herb like oxen, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, until he has known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He wills He raises up over it.
Anplis, li te chase lwen de lòm, kè l te vin transfòme kon kè a bèt, e li te vin rete ak bourik mawon. Yo te fè li manje zèb kon bèf, e kò l te tranpe ak lawouze syèl la jiskaske li te vin rekonèt Bondye Pi Wo a se chèf sou wayòm a lèzòm, e ke li mete chèf sou li sila ke Li pito.
22 And you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though all this you have known;
“Malgre sa, ou menm, fis li a, Belschatsar pa t imilye kè ou, malgre ou te konnen tout sa,
23 and against the Lord of the heavens you have lifted up yourself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before you, and you, and your great men, your wives, and your concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, you have praised: and the God in whose hand [is] your breath, and all your ways, Him you have not honored.
men ou te egzalte tèt ou kont Senyè syèl la. Konsa, yo te mennen veso lakay Li yo devan ou e ou menm ak prens ou yo, madanm ou yo, ak ti mennaj ou yo t ap bwè diven nan yo. Ou te bay lwanj a dye a ajan, lò, bwonz, fè, bwa, ak wòch yo, ki pa wè, tande, ni konprann. Men Bondye, nan men a Sila souf lavi ou ye a, pou Sila tout chemen ou yo ye a, ou pa t bay Li glwa.
24 Then from before Him is the extremity of the hand sent, and the writing is noted down;
Konsa, men an te voye devan l, e sa se enskripsyon ki te byen ekri a.
25 and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
“Alò, sa se enskripsyon ki te byen ekri a: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered—God has numbered your kingdom, and has finished it.
“Sa se entèpretasyon a mesaj la: ‘MENE’—Bondye te konte wayòm ou an e te mete fen a li.
27 Weighed—You are weighed in the balances, and have been found lacking.
‘TEKEL’—ou te peze sou balans e ou te manke.
28 Divided—Your kingdom is divided, and it has been given to the Medes and Persians.”
‘PERES’—wayòm ou an vin divize, e li va bay a moun Mèd ak Pès yo.”
29 Then Belshazzar has spoken, and they have clothed Daniel with purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and they have proclaimed concerning him that he is the third ruler in the kingdom.
Konsa, Belschatsar te pase lòd pou yo te abiye Daniel an mov, e mete yon kolye an lò nan kou li. Li te pibliye yon dekrè selon li ke Daniel te gen otorite kon twazyèm chèf nan wayòm nan.
30 In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
Menm nwit sa a, Belschatsar, wa Kaldeyen an te touye.
31 and Darius the Mede has received the kingdom when a son of sixty-two years.
Konsa Darius, Mèd la, te resevwa wayòm nan ak anviwon laj swasann-de lane.
