< Daniel 7 >

1 In year one of Belshazzar [the] king of Babylon Daniel a dream he saw and [the] visions of head his on bed his then dream the he wrote [the] head of matters he said.
Nan menm lanne Bèlchaza te moute wa peyi Babilòn, Danyèl fè yon rèv, li wè yon vizyon antan li t'ap dòmi sou kabann li. Apre sa, li kouche tou sa li te wè nan rèv la sou papye. Men sa li te ekri a:
2 [was] replying Daniel and [was] saying seeing I was in vision my with night the and lo! [the] four [the] winds of heavens the [were] stirring up sea the great.
-Jou lannwit sa a, mwen fè yon vizyon. Mwen wè kat gwo van yo t'ap soufle, yo t'ap boulvèse gwo lanmè a.
3 And four beasts great [were] coming up from sea the [they were] different this [one] from this [one].
Kat gwo bèt moute soti nan lanmè a, yonn pa t' sanble lòt.
4 First the [was] like a lion and wings of an eagle [were] to it seeing I was until that they were plucked off wings its and it was lifted away from earth the and on two feet like a human it was made to stand and a heart of a human it was given to it.
Premye bèt la te sanble ak yon lyon, men li te gen de gwo zèl tankou malfini. Antan m'ap gade l' konsa, yo rache zèl li yo. Yo leve l', yo fè l' kanpe tankou yon moun sou pa t' dèyè l' yo. Lèfini, yo fè li gen lespri tankou moun.
5 And lo! a beast another a second [was] like a bear and to a side one it was raised and three ribs [were] in mouth its between (tooth its *Q(K)*) and as follows [they were] saying to it arise devour! flesh much.
Dezyèm bèt la te sanble ak yon lous ki te kanpe panche sou yon bò. Li te gen twa zo kòt nan bouch li. Yon vwa pale avè l', li di l' konsa: -Annou wè! Manje vyann mezi ou kapab.
6 After this seeing I was and lo! another like a leopard and to it wings four of a bird [were] on (back its *Q(K)*) and four heads [were] to beast the and dominion it was given to it.
Antan m'ap gade toujou, yon lòt bèt parèt. Li te sanble ak yon leyopa, men li te gen kat zèl sou do li, tankou zèl zwezo. Li te gen kat tèt tou. Yo te ba li pouvwa sou tout bagay.
7 After this seeing I was in [the] visions of night the and lo! a beast (fourth *Q(k)*) [was] fearful and terrible and strong exceedingly and teeth of iron [were] to it great [it was] devouring and [it was] shattering and rest the (with foot its *Q(K)*) [it was] trampling and it [was] different from all beasts the which [was] before it and horns ten [were] to it.
Antan m'ap gade toujou nan vizyon mwen t'ap fè jou lannwit sa a, yon katriyèm bèt parèt. Li te sovaj anpil. Depi ou gade l' se pou ou pè. Li te gen anpil fòs avèk gwo dan an fè. Li t'ap manje tou sa ki tonbe anba bouch li, li kraze yo ak dan li, li pilonnen rès la anba pye l'. Li pa t' sanble menm ak twa lòt bèt ki te parèt anvan l' yo. Li te gen dis kòn.
8 Considering I was horns the and lo! a horn another small it came up (between them *Q(K)*) and three of horns the former (they were uprooted *Q(K)*) from (before it *Q(k)*) and lo! eyes like [the] eyes of humankind [were] on horn the this and a mouth [was] speaking great [things].
Antan m'ap gade kòn yo konsa, mwen wè yon lòt ti kòn tou piti k'ap pouse nan mitan yo. Li rache twa nan kòn ki te la deja yo. Ti kòn sa a te gen je tankou moun ak yon bouch ki t'ap di tout kalite pawòl awogan pou joure Bondye.
9 Seeing I was until that thrones they were placed and [one] ancient of days he sat clothing his - like snow [was] white and [the] hair of head his like wool [was] pure throne his [was] flames of fire wheels its [were] fire burning.
Mwen t'ap gade toujou, mwen wè yo ranje yon bann fotèy. Yon granmoun ki te la depi nan konmansman vin chita sou yonn nan fotèy yo. Rad ki te sou li a te blan kou koton. Cheve nan tèt li te tankou lenn mouton byen pwòp. Fotèy li a te tankou flanm dife, li te moute sou wou ki te tankou chabon dife tou limen.
10 A river of fire [was] flowing and [was] coming out from before him a thousand of (thousands *Q(k)*) they were ministering to him and a myriad of (myriads *Q(k)*) before him they were standing court the it sat and books they were opened.
Dife t'ap koule soti nan fotèy la devan li tankou yon larivyè. Te gen mil milye moun la ki t'ap sèvi l'. Te gen dimil milyon moun kanpe la devan l'. Tribinal la te pare pou jijman an. Yo louvri liv yo.
11 Seeing I was then from [the] sound of words the great which horn the [was] speaking seeing I was until that it was killed beast the and it was destroyed body its and it was given to [the] burning of fire.
Antan mwen t'ap gade, mwen tande vwa ti kòn lan ki t'ap pale byen fò avèk awogans. Antan m'ap gade konsa, yo touye katriyèm bèt la, yo pran kadav li, yo voye l' nan dife a, li boule nèt.
12 And [the] rest of beasts the they removed dominion their and a prolonging in life it was given to them until a time and a time.
Yo wete tout otorite nan men lòt bèt yo, men yo kite yo vivan pou yon ti tan ankò.
13 Seeing I was in [the] visions of night the and lo! with [the] clouds of heavens the like a son of man coming he was and to [the] [one] ancient of days he reached and before him they brought near him.
Nan menm vizyon mwen t'ap fè lannwit lan, mwen wè yon fòm ki te sanble ak yon moun. Li t'ap vini sou tèt nwaj yo nan syèl la. Li pwoche bò granmoun ki te la depi nan konmansman an. Yo prezante l' ba li.
14 And to him it was given dominion and honor and a kingdom and all peoples the nations the and languages the to him they will pay reverence dominion his [was] a dominion of perpetuity which not it will pass away and kingdom his which not it will be destroyed.
Yo ba li baton kòmandan an, yo ba li pouvwa ak otorite pou tout pèp sou latè, pou tout peyi, pou moun tout ras ki pale tout lang sèvi li. L'ap kòmande pou tout tan. Gouvènman li p'ap janm fini.
15 It was distressed spirit my I Daniel in [the] midst of [the] sheath and [the] visions of head my they alarmed me.
Mwen menm Danyèl, lè m' wè tout bagay sa yo, tèt mwen te boulvèse. Vizyon yo te fè m' pè anpil.
16 I approached to one of [ones] standing the and truth the I was asking from him concerning all this and he said to me and [the] interpretation of matters the he made known to me.
Mwen pwoche bò yonn nan moun ki te kanpe la yo, mwen mande l' pou l' fè m' konprann tout bagay sa yo. Se konsa li esplike m' yo.
17 These beasts the great which they [are] four four kings they will arise from earth the.
Li di m' konsa: -Kat gwo bèt sa yo, se kat wa ki gen pou parèt sou latè.
18 So they may receive kingdom the [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High so they may take possession of kingdom the until perpetuity and until perpetuity of perpetuities.
Men, moun k'ap viv pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la pral resevwa gouvènman an nan men yo. Y'ap kenbe l' pou tout tan tout tan.
19 Then I desired to make certain concerning beast the fourth which it was different from (all of them *Q(K)*) [it was] terrible exceedingly (tooth its *Q(K)*) of iron and claws its of bronze [it was] devouring [it was] shattering and rest the with feet its [it was] trampling.
Apre sa, mwen te vle konnen plis sou katriyèm bèt la ki pa t' tankou twa premye yo, bèt ki te move anpil la, avèk dan an fè l' yo ak grif an kwiv li yo, bèt ki t'ap manje tou sa ki te tonbe anba bouch li, ki t'ap kraze yo ak dan l', ki t'ap pilonnen rès yo anba pye l'.
20 And concerning horns the ten which [were] on head its and another [horn] which it came up (and they fell *Q(K)*) from (before it *Q(k)*) three [horns] and horn the this and eyes [were] to it and a mouth [was] speaking great [things] and appearance its [was] great more than companion its.
Mwen te vle plis esplikasyon sou dis kòn ki te sou tèt li yo ak sou ti kòn ki te parèt apre a epi ki te fè twa nan lòt kòn yo tonbe. Ti kòn sa a te gen je tankou moun ak yon bouch ki t'ap di tout kalite pawòl awogan pou joure Bondye. Li te parèt pi gwo pase tout lòt yo.
21 Seeing I was and horn the this [was] making war with [the] holy [ones] and [it was] prevailing to them.
Antan m'ap gade konsa, mwen wè ti kòn lan pran fè lagè ak tout moun k'ap sèvi Bondye yo. Li fè yo soumèt devan li.
22 Until that he came [the] [one] ancient of days and judgment it was given for [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High and appointed time the it arrived and kingdom the they took possession of [the] holy [ones].
Lè sa a, granmoun ki te la depi nan konmansman an parèt. Li rann jijman an favè moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Jou a te rive pou pèp Bondye a te resevwa pouvwa a nan men yo.
23 As follows he said beast the fourth a kingdom (fourth the *Q(k)*) it will be on earth the which it will be different from all kingdoms the so it may devour all earth the and it will tread down it and it will shatter it.
Men esplikasyon moun lan te ban mwen: -Katriyèm bèt la, se katriyèm gouvènman ki pral gen sou latè. Li p'ap tankou lòt yo. Li pral devore tout moun sou latè, l'ap pilonnen yo anba pye l', l'ap kraze yo.
24 And horns the ten from it kingdom the ten kings they will arise and another he will arise after them and he he will be different from former [kings] the and three kings he will bring low.
Dis kòn yo, se dis wa ki pral alatèt gouvènman sa a. Apre yo, ap gen yon lòt wa ki p'ap tankou lòt yo. L'ap jete twa nan wa yo.
25 And words to [the] side of (Most High the *Q(k)*) he will speak and [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High he will wear out so he may think to change appointed times and law so they may be given in hand his until a time and times and half of a time.
L'ap pale Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la mal, l'ap malmennen moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. L'ap fè lide chanje tout fèt ak tout prensip lalwa Bondye a. Pandan twazan sis mwa, l'ap kenbe pèp Bondye a anba men l'.
26 And court the it will sit and dominion his they will remove to annihilate and to destroy until end the.
Apre sa, tribinal la va reyini pou rann jijman an. L'a wete pouvwa a nan men l', l'ap kraze l' nèt, li p'ap janm chèf ankò.
27 And kingdom the and dominion the and greatness the of kingdoms under all heavens the it was given to a people [the] holy [ones] of [the] Most High kingdom his [will be] a kingdom of perpetuity and all empires the to him they will pay reverence so they may obey.
Y'ap pran pouvwa, otorite ak gouvènman tout gwo peyi ki sou latè yo, y'ap bay pèp k'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Pèp sa a ap gouvènen tankou yon wa pou tout tan. Tout chèf sou latè pral sèvi li, y'ap obeyi li.
28 To here end the of matter the I Daniel exceedingly - thoughts my they alarmed me and brightness my they were changed on me and matter the in heart my I have kept.
Se tou sa li te rakonte m'. Mwen menm Danyèl, mwen te boulvèse anpil, mwen chanje koulè. Mwen kenbe tout bagay sa yo nan kè m'.
