Danyèl 12
1 Zanj ki te gen rad swa sou li a, di ankò: -Lè sa a, Michèl, gwo zanj k'ap veye sou pèp ou a, ap parèt. Se pral yon tan kè sere moun poko janm wè depi yo sou latè. Lè lè a va rive, tout moun ki fè pati pèp ou a epi ki gen non yo ekri nan liv Bondye a, va sove.
At that time Michael the great prince, the protector of your people, will stand up and there will be a time of trouble like never before, since nations first existed. But at that time your people will be saved, all whose names are written in the book.
2 Anpil nan moun ki te mouri deja yo pral leve vivan ankò. Gen ladan yo ki pral jwi lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Gen lòt ki pral wont, yo pral soufri avilisman ki p'ap janm fini an.
Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.
3 Moun ki gen lespri yo pral klere tankou limyè nan syèl la. Moun ki te moutre jan pou moun mache dwat yo va klere tankou zetwal pou tout tan tout tan.
Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky; those who have shown many the right way to live will shine as bright as the stars forever and ever.
4 Li di m' ankò: -Bon. Koulye a, Danyèl, fèmen liv la. Sele l' byen sele jouk lè a va rive pou tout bagay fini. Anpil moun pral bat kò yo pou yo konprann sa k'ap pase. Lè sa a, plis konesans pral gaye toupatou sou latè.
But as for you, Daniel, keep this message secret, and seal the book closed until the time of the end. Many will search this way and that way, and knowledge will grow greater and greater.”
5 Mwen gade, mwen wè de lòt moun ki te kanpe bò larivyè a, yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch.
Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.
6 Yonn ladan yo pale ak zanj ki te pi wo a, nan direksyon tèt dlo a, zanj ki te gen rad swa sou li a, li mande l': -Konbe tan ankò anvan pou gwo bagay sa yo rive?
One of then asked the man dressed in linen who was above the river's waters, “How long before these outrageous things come to an end?”
7 Zanj lan leve bra l' anlè nan syèl la, mwen tande li fè yon gwo sèman nan non Bondye vivan an, li di konsa: -Nan twazan si mwa, lè y'a fin kraze tout fòs pèp Bondye a, tout bagay sa yo va rive.
The man dressed in linen, who was above the river's waters, lifted both hands to heaven made a solemn promise by the One who lives eternally. I heard him say, “It will last for a time, times, and half a time. When the scattering of the power of the holy people has come to an end, then all these things will also come to an end.”
8 Mwen tande sa l' te di a, men mwen pa t' konprann. Konsa, mwen mande l': -Men, mèt, ki jan sa ap fini menm?
I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”
9 Li reponn mwen: -Danyèl monchè, ou mèt al fè wout ou, paske koze sa a fèt pou rete kache epi byen sele, jouk lè a va rive pou sa fini.
“Daniel, you can go on your way now,” he replied, “for this message is secret and kept sealed until the time of the end.
10 Lè sa a, anpil moun pral pase anba soufrans yo te anonse a. Y'ap soti netwaye, lave, blanchi. Moun k'ap fè mechanste yo menm p'ap konprann anyen, y'ap toujou rete ap fè mechanste yo. Men, moun ki gen lespri ap konprann.
Many will be purified and cleansed and refined, but the wicked will go on being wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.
11 Si ou konte depi lè yo va aboli ofrann bèt ki pou fèt chak jou a, pou yo mete bagay nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan, kanpe nan Tanp lan, w'ap jwenn mil desankatrevendis (1290) jou ki gen pou pase.
From the time the continual ministry is stopped in order to set up the idolatry that causes devastation will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Ala bon sa pral bon pou moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk mil twasantrannsenk (1.335) jou sa yo va fin pase!
Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 Ou menm, Danyèl, kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba. Apre sa, w'a mouri. Men, w'a leve vivan ankò pou resevwa rekonpans ou lè tout bagay va fini!
But as for you, go your way until your life ends, and then rest. You will rise to receive your reward at the end of time.”
