Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
Siris t'ap mache sou twazan depi l' te wa nan peyi Pès lè Bondye fè Danyèl, ki te rele Beltechaza tou, konnen yon mesaj. Se te bon koze sou gwo batay ki gen pou fèt la. Se nan yon vizyon yo te fè l' konprann mesaj la.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
Lè sa a, mwen menm Danyèl, mwen pase twa senmenn nan gwo lapenn.
3 I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Mwen pa t' manje ankenn bon ti manje, ni ankenn vyann. Mwen pa t' mete yon gout diven nan bouch moun. Mwen pa t' pase lwil santi bon sou mwen pandan twa senmenn sa yo.
4 In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
Sou vennkatriyèm jou premye mwa a nan lanne a, mwen te kanpe bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
Mwen leve je m', mwen wè yon moun ki te gen rad swa sou li ak yon sentiwon fèt ak bon lò mare nan ren l'.
6 His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
Kò l' te klere tankou yon wòch poli. Figi l' te tankou zèklè. Je l' yo te klere tankou de moso chabon dife. Bra l' ak janm li yo te tankou kwiv yo te poli. Lè l' pale menm, se tankou si se te yon foul moun ki t'ap pale ansanm.
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Se mwen menm sèlman ki te wè vizyon an. Lòt moun ki te avè m' yo pa t' wè anyen. Men yo te pè, yo te kouri al kache.
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
Mwen menm, mwen te rete la pou kont mwen. Mwen t'ap gade gwo vizyon an. Mwen santi m' pa t' gen fòs menm, figi m' te dekonpoze. Pa gen moun ki ta ka rekonèt mwen.
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Lè m' tande vwa li menm, mwen tonbe fas atè, mwen pèdi konesans.
10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
Apre sa, mwen santi yon men manyen m', li fè m' leve sou pla men m' ak sou jenou m'. M' t'ap tranble toujou.
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
Zanj lan di m' konsa: -Danyèl, ou se yon moun Bondye renmen anpil. Kanpe non! Louvri zòrèy ou pou ou tande sa mwen pral di ou. Se Bondye ki voye m' kote ou. Lè li fin di m' sa, mwen leve kanpe, men m' t'ap tranble toujou.
12 Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
Li di m' konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè, Danyèl. Bondye te tande lapriyè ou la depi premye jou ou te pran desizyon soumèt ou devan Bondye ou pou ou te ka rive gen bon konprann. Se poutèt lapriyè ou la mwen vin ba ou repons Bondye a.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Zanj chèf peyi Pès la te kenbe tèt avè m' pandan venteyen jou. Apre sa, Michèl, yonn nan chèf zanj Bondye yo, vin pote m' sekou paske mwen te pou kont mwen nan peyi Pès la.
14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
Mwen vin fè ou konprann sa ki pral rive pèp ou a nan jou k'ap vini yo. Vizyon an fè ou wè sa ki pral rive jou sa yo.
15 When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.
Lè li di m' sa, m' bese je m' gade atè san m' pa di anyen.
16 Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
Lè sa a, zanj ki te gen fòm yon moun lan lonje men l', li manyen po bouch mwen. Mwen louvri bouch mwen pale, mwen di zanj ki te kanpe devan m' lan: -Mèt, vizyon an fè m' pè, m' pèdi tout fòs mwen, kè m' sere!
17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
Se moun k'ap sèvi ou mwen ye, mèt. Ki jan mwen ka pale ak ou? M' pa gen fòs ankò, m' pèdi souf mwen.
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
Zanj ki te gen fòm moun lan manyen m' ankò yo dezyèm fwa. Mwen santi m' refè.
19 He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
Epi li di m': -Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou se yon moun Bondye renmen anpil. Pa kite anyen fatige lespri ou, ni fè ou pèdi kouraj ou! Lè li di m' sa, mwen santi mwen vin gen plis fòs. Mwen di li: -Mèt, ou fè m' vin gen fòs. Di m' sa ou gen pou di m' lan non!
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 out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
Lè sa a, li di m': -Ou konnen poukisa mwen vin bò kote ou la? Se pou m' te ka fè ou konnen sa ki te ekri nan liv verite a. Koulye a, mwen gen pou m' al goumen ak zanj chèf peyi Pès la. Apre sa, zanj chèf peyi Lagrès la va parèt.
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.
Pa gen lòt moun pou vin ede m' pase Michèl, zanj chèf pèp Izrayèl la.
