Daniel 11
1 "And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
Mwen menm tou mwen te kanpe ak li pou ede l', pou soutni l' nan premye lanne rèy wa Dariyis la.
2 And now what I show you is true. Look, there shall arise three more kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all the kingdom of Greece.
Koulye a, mwen pral fè ou konnen verite a. Zanj lan di m' ankò: -Gen twa lòt wa ki gen pou gouvènen peyi Pès la ankò, yonn apre lòt. Apre sa, ap gen yon katriyèm wa k'ap pi rich pase tout lòt yo. Avèk richès li, l'ap chita pouvwa li byen chita, epi li pral atake gouvènman peyi Lagrès la.
3 And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.
Lè sa a, yon wa vanyan gason va parèt. Li pral gouvènen yon gwo gwo peyi. Epi l'ap fè sa li vle.
4 When he shall arise, his kingdom shall be broken up, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, and will go to others besides these.
Men, lè l'a fin chita pouvwa li byen chita, gwo peyi l'ap gouvènen an pral separe fè kat pòsyon. Men, se p'ap pitit li yo ki pral gouvènen nan plas li. Se va kat lòt moun. Men, yo p'ap gen pouvwa li menm li te genyen an.
5 The king of the south shall grow strong, and one of his officers shall grow more powerful, and shall have a greater kingdom than his.
Wa peyi Lejip la pral vin fò anpil. Men, yonn nan jeneral lame li yo pral pi fò pase l'. Li pral gouvènen yon peyi ki pi gran pase pa l' la toujou.
6 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 her power; neither shall his strength endure; but she shall be surrendered, and her attendants, and he who became the father of her, and he who supported her in those times.
Apre kèk lanne, wa peyi Lejip la pral siyen kontra ak wa peyi Siri a. Pitit fi wa peyi Lejip la pral marye ak wa peyi Siri a pou kontra a ka kenbe. Men, kontra a p'ap rete lontan, paske yo pral touye ni li, ni mari l', ni pitit li, ni moun li te mennen avè l' lè sa a.
7 But out of a shoot from her roots shall arise in his place, who shall come against the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
Kèk tan apre sa, yonn nan fanmi l' yo va moute wa. Li pral atake lame wa peyi Siri a. L'ap antre nan sitadèl wa a, l'ap goumen avè l'. L'ap soti pi fò pase l'.
8 Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall withdraw for some years from the king of the north.
L'ap pran tout bondye moun yo ak estati an fè yo, ansanm ak tout veso fèt an ajan ak an lò yo te gen pou fè sèvis zidòl yo, l'ap pote yo desann nan peyi Lejip. Pandan kèk tan l'ap rete sou sa l' te fè a, li p'ap pwoche bò peyi Siri a.
9 And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
Wa peyi Siri a pral atake peyi Lejip. Men, l'ap blije kase tèt tounen lakay li.
10 And his sons shall wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.
Pitit gason wa peyi Siri a pral pare pou y' al goumen. Y'ap sanble yon gwo lame ak anpil sòlda. Yonn ladan yo pral parèt tankou yon gwo larivyè k'ap desann. L'ap travèse fwontyè a, l'ap atake yon fò lènmi epi l'ap kouri tounen lakay yo.
11 The king of the south shall be moved with rage and shall come forth and fight against him, even with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
Wa peyi Lejip la pral fache. Li pral leve yon gwo lame pou li al goumen ak wa peyi Siri a, l'ap fè tout sòlda lame wa peyi Siri a prizonye.
12 The multitude shall be taken away, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
L'ap kraze gwo lame wa Siri a. Li pral gonfle lestonmak li, l'ap fè touye anpil sòlda. Men, apre sa, l'ap pèdi fòs li.
13 The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.
Wa peyi Siri a ap tounen ankò, l'ap sanble yon lame pi gwo pase sa l' te gen anvan an. Apre kèk lanne, l'ap parèt ak yon gwo lame ak anpil zam.
14 And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south: also the violent ones among your people shall rise up in confirmation of the vision; but they shall fail.
Lè sa a, anpil pèp pral leve kont wa peyi Lejip la. Danyèl, jan ou te wè l' nan vizyon an, kèk lwijanboje nan moun peyi ou la pral leve kont wa a tou, men y'ap kraze yo.
15 So the king of the north shall come, and build up a siege mound and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not prevail, neither his best troops, neither shall there be any strength to resist.
Se konsa, wa peyi Siri a pral sènen yon lavil ki gen gwo ranpa. L'ap pran l'. Sòlda lame peyi Lejip yo p'ap ka kenbe tèt avè l'. Menm pi bon nan sòlda yo p'ap gen fòs ankò pou kenbe.
16 But he who comes against him shall do as he pleases, and no one shall be able to withstand him. And he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction will be within his power.
Lame peyi Siri a pral fè sa li vle ak peyi Lejip. Pesonn p'ap ka kenbe tèt avè l'. L'ap rete kèk tan nan pi bèl peyi ki sou latè a. L'ap detwi tou sa ki tonbe anba men l'.
17 He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with him which he shall put into effect. And he shall give him a daughter of women to send destruction on him; but it will not last or be to his advantage.
Wa Siri a ap mete nan tèt li pou l' pran tout peyi lòt wa a pou li. L'ap siyen yon kontra avè l'. Pou l' ka pran l' pi byen, l'ap ba li pitit fi li a pou madanm. Men, plan an p'ap pran, sa p'ap mache.
18 After this shall he turn his face to the coastal regions, and shall capture many. But a commander shall bring his insolence to an end. In addition, he shall repay him for his insolence.
Lèfini, l'ap pase nan lanmè, l'ap atake lòt nasyon sou zile yo. L'ap pran anpil ladan yo. Men, yonn nan chèf lòt nasyon yo pral rete l' sou kous li. L'ap fè l' sispann fè awogan. L'ap fè awogans wa a tounen sou tèt wa a ankò.
19 Then he shall turn his attention toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found again.
Wa a ap tounen nan fò ki nan peyi pa l' yo. Men, wè pa wè, y'ap kraze l', y'ap fini nèt avè l', l'ap disparèt.
20 Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, though not in anger nor in battle.
Apre li, ap gen yon lòt wa k'ap voye yon chèf pou peze pèp la. L'ap egzije pèp la peye taks pou yo plen kès wa a. Anvan lontan y'ap touye wa a, men se p'ap bagay k'ap rive ni an piblik ni nan lagè.
21 In his place shall arise a despicable person, to whom the honor of kingship had not been given, but he shall come in a time of prosperity, and shall obtain the kingdom through deceit.
Zanj lan t'ap pale toujou. Li di: -Wa k'ap parèt apre sa a pral yon vòryen ki pa t' gen dwa pou l' te nan plas la. Men, l'ap vini tou dousman, l'ap fè mannigèt, l'ap pran pouvwa a.
22 And large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as the prince of the covenant.
Tout moun ki konprann pou yo kenbe tèt ak li, l'ap kraze yo, l'ap disparèt yo. L'ap disparèt ata chèf kontra a.
23 And after an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.
L'ap siyen kontra ak lòt nasyon yo, men se pou l' ka twonpe yo pi byen. Atout peyi l' la tou piti, chak jou l'ap vin pi fò.
24 In a time of prosperity he shall come even on the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor their fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, and spoil, and property. He shall devise plans against their strongholds, but only for a time.
San bay ankenn avètisman, l'ap anvayi yon pwovens ki rich anpil, l'ap fè bagay ni papa l', ni pesonn nan zansèt li yo pa t' janm fè. Lèfini, l'ap pran tout byen, tout richès li te piye lakay moun yo, l'ap separe yo bay moun pa l' yo. L'ap fè plan pou l' atake gwo fò yo, men li p'ap gen tan fè sa.
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 wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans against him.
L'ap leve, l'ap pare yon gwo lame pou l' atake peyi Lejip. Wa Lejip la menm ap pare yon gwo lame tou ak anpil zam pou koresponn ak li. Men, l'ap pèdi batay la paske y'ap fè move konplo sou do l'.
26 Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain.
Zanmi ki t'ap manje sou menm tab avè l' yo ap fè yo fini avè l'. Anpil nan sòlda li yo pral mouri. Y'ap kraze lame li a.
27 As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed time.
Apre sa, de wa yo pral chita manje ansanm sou menm tab, men tou de pral gen move lide dèyè tèt yo, yonn ap bay lòt manti. Yo yonn yo p'ap jwenn sa yo bezwen an, paske lè a p'ap ko rive.
28 Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to his own land.
Wa peyi Siri a ap tounen nan peyi l' ak anpil richès l'ap piye nan peyi Lejip. Apre lagè a, l'ap soti pou l' kraze relijyon pèp Bondye a. L'ap fè sa li te gen lide fè a. Lèfini, l'ap tounen tounen l' nan peyi l'.
29 At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.
Kèk tan apre sa, l'ap tounen desann nan peyi Lejip ankò. Men, fwa sa a, sa p'ap pase tankou premye fwa a.
30 For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
Moun Kitim yo ap vin nan batiman yo, y'ap rete l' sou kous li, l'ap dekouraje. Lè l'ap tounen. l'ap fin debòde sou moun k'ap sèvi dapre kontra Bondye te siyen avèk yo a. Men, l'ap fè pa moun ki vire do bay kontra a.
31 Forces shall come at his order, and they shall profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and shall take away the daily burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that causes desolation.
L'ap voye sòlda nan lame li yo vin fè mete Tanp lan nan kondisyon pou moun pa ka sèvi Bondye ladan l' ankò. Y'ap aboli ofrann bèt yo te konn fè chak jou a, y'ap mete sa nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan chita byen wo nan Tanp lan.
32 And those who act wickedly toward the covenant he shall corrupt by smooth words; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action.
Wa a ap fè moun ki te deja vire do yo bay kontra Bondye a pran pozisyon pou li, l'ap pran tèt yo ak bèl pawòl. Men, moun k'ap sèvi Bondye yo ap kanpe fèm, y'ap kenbe tèt avè l'.
33 And those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
Chèf ki gen bon konprann yo va separe konesans yo ak pèp la. Men, pandan kèk tan yo pral pèsekite yo, y'ap touye yo nan batay. Yo pral boule yo nan dife jouk yo mouri. Y'ap depòte yo, y'ap piye tout zafè yo.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.
Pandan tout pèsekisyon sa a, pèp Bondye a va resevwa yon ti konkou. Men, anpil moun ap vin mete tèt ansanm ak yo pou defann pwòp enterè pa yo.
35 Some of those who are wise shall fall, to be refined, purified and cleansed until the time of the end; for the appointed time is still to come.
Nan chèf ki gen konesans yo genyen k'ap mouri. Men, avèk lafliksyon sa a, pèp la va netwaye, l'a lave, l'a blanchi. Sa pral pase konsa jouk lè a va rive pou sa fini nan dat Bondye te fikse a.
36 And the king shall do as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.
Wa peyi Siri a va fè sa li vle. Li pral gonfle lestonmak li, li pral mache di jan li pi gran pase tout bondye. L'ap di yon bann vye koze sou Bondye ki anwo tout bondye yo. L'ap fè sa konsa jouk lè pou Bondye pini l' lan va rive. Paske, tou sa Bondye te di ki pou fèt la gen pou fèt.
37 Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.
Wa a p'ap konnen bondye zansèt li yo, li p'ap konnen bondye medam yo renmen sèvi a, li p'ap konn ankenn lòt bondye. Se tèt pa l' ase l'ap konnen. Pou li, li pi gran pase yo tout.
38 But instead he shall honor the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold and silver, and with valuable stones, and costly gifts.
Nan plas yo, l'ap pito sèvi bondye ki pwoteje fò yo, yon bondye zansèt li yo pa t' janm konnen. L'ap ofri lò, ajan, bèl pyè bijou ak lòt bagay ki koute chè ba li.
39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he shall grant considerable honor; and he shall make them rulers over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
Pou defann fò li yo, l'ap pran moun ki sèvi lòt bondye pou sèvi sòlda. Depi yon moun rekonèt li pou wa, l'ap fè bèl bagay pou li, l'ap mete l' chèf sou anpil moun, l'ap ba li tè pou rekonpans.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south attack 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 invade countries, and pass through like a flood.
Lè tan wa Siri a pral bout, wa Lejip la pral atake l'. Wa Siri a pral vare sou li tankou yon van siklòn, li pral mache sou li ak tout cha lagè li yo, tout kavalye l' yo ak anpil batiman. L'ap anvayi anpil peyi, l'ap tankou yon gwo larivyè k'ap desann.
41 He shall enter also into the beautiful land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.
L'ap anvayi pi bèl peyi ki sou latè a, l'ap touye yon pakèt moun. Men, moun peyi Edon, moun peyi Moab ak rès moun peyi Amon yo va chape anba men l'.
42 He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Wi, l'ap anvayi tout peyi yo. Ata peyi Lejip p'ap chape.
43 But he shall have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his feet.
L'ap pran tout richès peyi Lejip la pou li: lò, ajan ak tout bèl bagay ki koute chè yo. L'ap fè moun Libi yo ak moun Letiopi yo bat ba devan li.
44 But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with tremendous rage to destroy and utterly sweep away many.
Men, l'ap vin tande nouvèl k'ap kouri soti nan nò ak bò solèy leve. L'ap pè, l'ap kase tèt tounen. L'ap debòde, l'ap kraze brize, l'ap masakre anpil moun.
45 And he shall pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
L'ap moute gwo tant li a ant lanmè a ak mòn kote tanp Bondye a kanpe a. Men, l'ap mouri, p'ap gen pesonn pou pote l' sekou.
