Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel hath seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then the dream he hath written, the chief of the things he hath 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 Answered hath Daniel and said, 'I was seeing in my vision by night, and lo, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the great sea;
-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 great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Kat gwo bèt moute soti nan lanmè a, yonn pa t' sanble lòt.
4 The first [is] like a lion, and it hath an eagle's wings. I was seeing till that its wings have been plucked, and it hath been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it hath been caused to stand, and a heart of man is 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, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it hath been raised, and three ribs [are] in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume much flesh.
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 I was seeing, and lo, another like a leopard, and it hath four wings of a fowl on its back, and four heads hath the beast, and dominion is 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 I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it hath iron teeth very great, it hath consumed, yea, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are] before it; and it hath ten horns.
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 'I was considering about the horns, and lo, another horn, a little one, hath come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and lo, eyes as the eyes of man [are] in this horn, and a mouth 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 'I was seeing till that thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment as snow [is] white, and the hair of his head [is] as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, its wheels burning fire.
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 flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, a thousand thousands do serve Him, and a myriad of myriads before Him do rise up, the Judge is seated, and the books have been 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 'I was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing till that the beast is slain, and his body hath been destroyed, and given to the burning 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 the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, till a season and a time.
Yo wete tout otorite nan men lòt bèt yo, men yo kite yo vivan pou yon ti tan ankò.
13 'I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens as a son of man was [one] coming, and unto the Ancient of Days he hath come, and before Him they have brought him near.
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 is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion [is] a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not 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 'Pierced hath been my spirit — I, Daniel — in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me;
Mwen menm Danyèl, lè m' wè tout bagay sa yo, tèt mwen te boulvèse. Vizyon yo te fè m' pè anpil.
16 I have drawn near unto one of those standing, and the certainty I seek from him of all this; and he hath said to me, yea, the interpretation of the things he hath caused me to know:
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 great beasts, that [are] four, [are] four kings, they rise up from the earth;
Li di m' konsa: -Kat gwo bèt sa yo, se kat wa ki gen pou parèt sou latè.
18 and receive the kingdom do the saints of the Most High, and they strengthen the kingdom unto the age, even unto the age of the ages.
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 wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast, that was diverse from them all, fearful exceedingly; its teeth of iron, and its nails of brass, it hath devoured, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled;
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 the ten horns that [are] in its heads, and of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen, even of that horn that hath eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance [is] great above its companions.
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 'I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints, and hath prevailed over 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 till that the Ancient of Days hath come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time hath come, and the saints have strengthened the kingdom.
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 'Thus he said: The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom in the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumeth all the earth, and treadeth it down, and breaketh it small.
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 the ten horns out of the kingdom [are] ten kings, they rise, and another doth rise after them, and it is diverse from the former, and three kings it humbleth;
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 as an adversary of the Most High it doth speak, and the saints of the Most High it doth wear out, and it hopeth to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, till a time, and times, and a division 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 the Judge is seated, and its dominion they cause to pass away, to cut off, and to destroy — unto the end;
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 the kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people — the saints of the Most High, His kingdom [is] a kingdom age-during, and all dominions do serve and obey Him.
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 'Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. I, Daniel, greatly do my thoughts trouble me, and my countenance is changed on me, and the matter in my heart 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'.
