< 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 shall Michael arise, the great prince who watches over the children of your people. And there shall be a time of distress unparalleled since the beginning of the nation until that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found 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.
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
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.
And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who turn many to righteousness like 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 you, Daniel, close up these words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall roam here and there, and knowledge shall increase."
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, looked, and look, two others stood, one on this bank of the river, and one on the other bank 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?
And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long shall it be till these wonders take place?"
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.
I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
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?
And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?"
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.
And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and 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 shall be purified, cleansed and refined; but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall 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 that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred 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 is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred 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 go your way until the end. For you shall rest, and shall rise to receive your reward at the end of the days.
