Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Koresh king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true: a great war. And he understood the word, and had understanding of the vision.
Nan twazyèm ane Cyrus, wa Perse la, yon mesaj te revele a Daniel, ki te rele Belschatsar. Mesaj la te vrè; menm yon gran gè. Li te konprann mesaj la, e te gen konprann vizyon an.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks.
Nan jou sila yo, mwen menm, Daniel, mwen t ap fè dèy pandan twa semèn.
3 I had no pleasing food, neither meat nor wine came into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Mwen pa t manje okenn bon manje; ni vyann, ni diven nan pa t antre nan bouch mwen. Ni mwen pa t sèvi okenn pomad pou onksyone jiskaske tout twa semèn sila yo te fin akonpli.
4 In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is the Tigris,
Nan venn-katriyèm jou nan premye mwa a, pandan mwen te akote gran rivyè a, ki se Hiddékel,
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and look, a man clothed in linen, around his waist a belt made of pure gold from Uphaz.
mwen te leve zye m gade e vwala, te gen yon sèten nonm abiye an len, ak senti l mare ak yon sentiwon lò pi, ki sòti Uphaz.
6 His body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.
Anplis, kò li te tankou krizolit, figi li kon aparans ak loray, zye li kon tòch flanm dife, bra li ak pye li tankou bwonz byen poli, e son a pawòl li yo, kon son a yon gran foul.
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great trembling fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Alò, mwen menm, Daniel, mwen tou sèl te wè vizyon an, pandan mesye ki te avè m yo pa t wè vizyon an, men yon gwo laperèz te vin tonbe sou yo, e yo te kouri ale kache kò yo.
8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
Konsa, mwen te rete sèl, e mwen te wè gran vizyon sila a. Konsa, pa t gen fòs ki te rete nan mwen, paske koulè po m te vin pal tankou moun ki mouri, e mwen te pèdi tout fòs mwen nèt.
9 Yet I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Men mwen te tande son a pawòl li yo. Depi mwen te tande son pawòl li yo, mwen te tonbe nan yon gwo somèy sou figi mwen, figi m atè nèt.
10 Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
Konsa, gade byen, yon men te touche mwen ki te plase m sou men ak jenou m yo.
11 He said to me, "Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
Li te di mwen: “O Daniel, nonm ki trè byeneme a, konprann pawòl ke mwen va pale ou yo. Kanpe dwat! Paske mwen te voye kote ou koulye a.” Lè li te pale pawòl sa a, mwen menm, mwen te kanpe. Mwen t ap tranble.
12 Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.
Alò, li te di mwen: “Pa pè, Daniel, paske depi premye jou ke ou te dedye kè ou pou konprann sa a, lè ou te imilye ou devan Bondye ou a, pawòl ou yo te vin tande. Konsa, mwen te vini akoz pawòl ou yo.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was left there with the kings of Persia.
Men prens a wayòm Perse la te kanpe kont mwen pandan venteyen jou; epi gade byen Micaël, youn nan chèf a prens yo, te vin ede m, paske mwen te rete la sèl ak wa a Perse yo.
14 Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision refers to future days."
Koulye a, mwen gen tan vini pou bay ou konprann de sa ki va rive a pèp ou a nan dènye jou yo, paske vizyon an apatyen a anpil jou ki poko rive.”
15 And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground, and could not speak.
Lè li te pale ak mwen konsènan pawòl sila yo, mwen te vire figi mwen vè tè a e mwen pa t ka pale menm.
16 And look, something like a man's hand touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, "My lord, it is because of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have no strength.
Epi gade byen, yon bagay ki te sanble ak yon fis a lòm te touche lèv mwen. Konsa, mwen te louvri bouch mwen pou te pale, e mwen te di a sila ki te kanpe devan m nan: “O senyè mwen an, akoz vizyon an chagren te antre nan mwen e tout fòs mwen te kite m.
17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with my lord? As for me, no strength remains, and I am breathless."
Paske kòman yon kalite sèvitè konsa kapab pale ak youn tankou senyè mwen an? Epi pou mwen, fòs pa rete nan mwen, ni okenn souf pa rete nan mwen.”
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again and strengthened me.
Epi sila a ki te sanble ak fis a lòm nan, te touche mwen ankò e te ban m fòs.
19 And he said, "Greatly loved man, do not be afraid, peace be to you; be strong, be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."
Li te di mwen: “O nonm trè byeneme a, pa pè. Lapè avèk ou. Pran kouraj! Wi, se pou vin vanyan!” Alò, depi lè li te fin pale ak mwen an, mwen te resevwa fòs, e mwen te di: “Kite senyè mwen an pale, paske ou te ban m fòs.”
20 Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, look, the prince of Greece shall come.
Konsa, li te di: “Èske ou pa konprann poukisa mwen te vin kote ou a? Men mwen va retounen koulye a, pou goumen kont prens a Perse la. Lè mwen ale, gade byen prens a Grèce la va vini.
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the Book of Truth. And there is no one who contends with me against them except Michael, your prince."
Men mwen va di ou sa ki enskri nan pawòl verite a. Nanpwen okenn moun k ap kanpe avè m kont sila yo, sòf ke Micaël, prens ou an.
