< Danyèl 2 >
1 Wa Nèbikadneza t'ap mache sou dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen, lè li fè divès rèv. Sa te boulvèse lespri l' anpil. Li pa t' ka dòmi.
And in the seconde yeere of the raygne of Nebuchad-nezzar, Nebuchad-nezzar dreamed dreames wherewith his spirite was troubled, and his sleepe was vpon him.
2 Li fè chache divinò, moun ki li zetwal, moun ki fè cham ak nèg save pou yo vin esplike wa a rèv li fè yo. Lè yo rive, yo kanpe devan wa a.
Then the King commanded to call the inchanters, and the astrologians and the sorcerers, and the Caldeans for to shewe the King his dreames: so they came and stoode before the King.
3 Wa a di yo konsa: -Mwen fè yon rèv k'ap boulvèse m' anpil. Mwen ta renmen nou fè m' konnen sa li vle di.
And the King sayde vnto them, I haue dreamed a dreame, and my spirite was troubled to knowe the dreame.
4 Mesye yo reponn wa a nan lang arameyen. Yo di l' konsa: -Se pou wa a viv pou tout tan! Se sèvitè ou nou ye. Rakonte nou rèv la, n'a esplike ou sa l' vle di.
Then spake the Caldeans to the King in the Aramites language, O King, liue for euer: shewe thy seruants thy dreame, and wee shall shewe the interpretation.
5 Wa a reponn, li di mesye yo: -Mwen deside se nou ki pou rakonte m' rèv mwen te fè a, lèfini, pou nou fè m' konnen sa li vle di. Si nou pa kapab, m'ap fè yo depatcha nou, m'ap fè yo kraze kay nou ra pye tè.
And the King answered and sayd to the Caldeans, The thing is gone from me. If ye will not make me vnderstande the dreame with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be drawen in pieces, and your houses shall be made a iakes.
6 Men, si nou rakonte m' rèv mwen te fè a, si nou fè m' konnen sa li vle di, m'ap fè nou kado anpil bagay. M'ap fè bèl bagay pou nou. Annou wè. Rakonte m' rèv la. Di m' sa li vle di.
But if yee declare the dreame and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receyue of me gifts and rewardes, and great honour: therefore shewe me the dreame and the interpretation of it.
7 Mesye yo reponn wa a yon dezyèm fwa: -Si monwa ta vle rakonte nou rèv la, n'a fè l' konnen sa li vle di.
They answered againe, and sayde, Let the King shewe his seruantes the dreame, and wee will declare the interpretation thereof.
8 Wa a di: -Mwen sèten nou soti pou n' fè lè, paske nou konnen mwen fin deside
Then the King answered, and sayd, I knowe certeinly that ye would gaine the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
9 si nou pa rakonte m' rèv la, m'ap fè nou tout pase menm jan an. Nou mete tèt ansanm pou nou ban m' manti, paske nou kwè yon lè sa va chanje. Se nou ki pou rakonte m' rèv mwen te fè a. Lè sa a, m'a konnen nou ka di m' sa rèv la vle di.
But if ye will not declare mee the dreame, there is but one iudgement for you: for ye haue prepared lying and corrupt wordes, to speake before me till the time bee changed: therefore tell me the dreame, that I may knowe, if yee can declare me the interpretation thereof.
10 Nèg save yo reponn wa a, yo di l' konsa: -Pa gen pesonn sou tout latè ki ka fè wa a konnen sa l'ap mande la a. Se poutèt sa, pa janm gen wa, li te mèt gran kou l' gran, li te mèt gen pouvwa pase sa n' pa konnen, ki ka mande yon majisyen, yon moun ki li zetwal osinon yon nèg save bagay konsa.
Then the Caldeans answered before the King, and sayde, There is no man vpon earth that can declare the Kings matter: yea, there is neither king nor prince nor lorde that asked such things at an inchanter or astrologian or Caldean.
11 Sa monwa ap mande la a se yon bagay ki difisil anpil. Pa gen moun sou latè ki ka fè l' pou ou. Se bondye yo ase ki ka fè sa. Men, bondye yo pa rete nan mitan moun.
For it is a rare thing that the King requireth, and there is none other that can declare it before the King, except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh.
12 Lè wa a tande sa, li move. Li fè yon sèl kòlè, li bay lòd touye dènye nèg save ki lavil Babilòn.
For this cause the king was angrie and in great furie, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babel.
13 Se konsa yo fè tout moun nan peyi a konnen yo tapral touye tout nèg save yo. Y' al chache Danyèl ak zanmi l' yo pou touye yo tou.
And when sentence was giuen, the wise men were slayne: and they sought Daniel and his fellowes to be put to death.
14 Lè sa a, Danyèl al jwenn Ajòk, kòmandan gad palè wa a ki t'ap pase pou li al touye nèg save yo. Li pran san li pou l' pale byen avè l'.
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisedome to Arioch the Kings chiefe stewarde, which was gone foorth to put to death the wise men of Babel.
15 Li di Ajòk, ofisye wa a: -Poukisa wa a bay lòd sevè sa a? Ajòk rakonte Danyèl sa ki pase.
Yea, he answered and sayde vnto Arioch the kings captaine, Why is the sentence so hastie from the king? Then Arioch declared the thing to Daniel.
16 Danyèl al mande wa a pou li ba li yon dèle pou l' ka fè wa a konnen sa rèv la vle di.
So Daniel went and desired the king that he woulde giue him leasure and that he woulde shewe the king the interpretation thereof.
17 Apre sa, Danyèl al lakay li, epi li di Ananya, Michayèl ak Azarya, zanmi l' yo, sa ki genyen.
The Daniel went to his house and shewed the matter to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions,
18 Li mande pou yo lapriyè Bondye ki nan syèl la pou li gen pitye pou yo, pou li fè yo konprann rèv la, konsa yo p'ap touye ni yo menm ni lòt nèg save lavil Babilòn yo.
That they should beseech the God of heauen for grace in this secrete, that Daniel and his fellowes should not perish with the rest of ye wise men of Babel.
19 Menm jou lannwit sa a, Bondye fè Danyèl konprann rèv la nan yon vizyon. Lè sa a, Danyèl fè lwanj Bondye ki nan syèl la.
Then was the secret reueiled vnto Daniel in a vision by night: therefore Daniel praysed the God of heauen.
20 Li di: -benediksyon pou Bondye pou tout tan tout tan. Se li ki gen tout konesans, se li ki gen tout fòs.
And Daniel answered and sayde, The Name of God be praysed for euer and euer: for wisedome and strength are his,
21 Li kontwole sezon yo ak lè pou chak bagay rive. Se li ki desann wa yo, se li ki moute wa yo. Se li ki bay nèg save yo bon konprann ak nèg lespri yo konesans.
And hee changeth the times and seasons: he taketh away kings: he setteth vp kings: he giueth wisedome vnto the wise, and vnderstanding to those that vnderstand.
22 Se li ki fè moun konnen tout sekrè ki kache. Li konnen tou sa ki nan fènwa. Limyè klere kote l' pase.
Hee discouereth the deepe and secrete things: he knoweth what is in darkenes, and the light dwelleth with him.
23 Bondye zansèt mwen yo, m'ap fè lwanj ou, m'ap di ou mèsi paske ou ban m' fòs ak bon konprann. Ou fè m' konnen sa nou te mande ou la, ou fè nou konnen sa ki t'ap boulvèse wa a.
I thanke thee and prayse thee, O thou God of my fathers, that thou hast giuen mee wisedome and strength, and hast shewed me nowe the thing that wee desired of thee: for thou hast declared vnto vs the kings matter.
24 Lamenm, Danyèl al jwenn Ajòk, nonm wa a te bay lòd al touye tout nèg save lavil Babilòn yo. Li di l' konsa: -Pa touye nèg save lavil Babilòn yo. Mennen m' bò kote wa a, m'a di l' sa rèv li te fè a vle di.
Therefore Daniel went vnto Arioch, whome the King had ordeyned to destroy the wise men of Babel: he went and sayde thus vnto him, Destroy not the wise men of Babel, but bring me before the King, and I will declare vnto the King the interpretation.
25 Ajòk prese mennen Danyèl bay wa a. Epi li di: -Monwa, mwen jwenn yon nonm nan jwif yo te depòte yo ki ka di ou sa rèv ou te fè a vle di.
Then Arioch brought Daniel before the King in all haste, and sayd thus vnto him, I haue found a man of the children of Iudah that were brought captiues, that will declare vnto the King the interpretation.
26 Wa a di Danyèl yo te rele Beltechaza a: -Eske ou ka di m' rèv mwen te fè a? Eske ou ka fè m' konnen sa l' vle di?
Then answered the King, and sayde vnto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to shew me the dreame, which I haue seene, and the interpretation thereof?
27 Danyèl reponn: -Monwa, pa gen nèg save, pa gen divinò, pa gen majisyen, ata moun ki konn li zetwal, ki ka fè ou konnen sa.
Daniel answered in the presence of the King, and sayd, The secret which the King hath demanded, can neither the wise, the astrologians, the inchanters, nor the southsayers declare vnto the King.
28 Men, gen yon Bondye nan syèl la ki devwale tout sekrè ki kache. Se li k'ap fè ou konnen sa ki gen pou rive pita. Men rèv ou te fè a, men vizyon ou te wè pandan ou t'ap dòmi an.
But there is a God in heauen that reueileth secrets, and sheweth the King Nebuchad-nezzar what shall bee in the latter dayes. Thy dreame, and the things which thou hast seene in thine heade vpon thy bed, is this.
29 Lè sa a, monwa t'ap dòmi, tèt ou pran travay sou sa ki gen pou rive pita. Epi Bondye ki devwale tout sekrè fè ou konnen sa ki pral rive.
O King, when thou wast in thy bedde, thoughts came into thy mind, what should come to passe hereafter, and he that reueyleth secretes, telleth thee, what shall come.
30 Konnen byen, monwa, se pa paske mwen gen plis konprann pase tout moun ki fè m' rive konnen sekrè sa a. Men, se pou wa a ka rive konnen sans rèv li te fè a, pou l' ka konprann tout lide sa yo ki t'ap travay nan tèt li a.
As for me, this secret is not shewed mee for any wisedome that I haue, more then any other liuing, but onely to shewe the King the interpretation, and that thou mightest knowe the thoughts of thine heart.
31 Monwa, ou fè yon vizyon. Ou wè yon gwo estati byen wo kanpe devan ou. Li te klere kou sa m' pa konnen. Bagay pou fè moun pè anpil.
O King, thou sawest, and beholde, there was a great image: this great image whose glory was so excellent, stood before thee, and the forme thereof was terrible.
32 Tèt li te fèt an lò, lestonmak li ak de bra l' yo te fèt an ajan, vant li ak de kwis li yo te fèt an kwiv,
This images head was of fine golde, his breast and his armes of siluer, his bellie and his thighs of brasse,
33 de janm li yo te fèt an fè, pye l' yo menm te mwatye an fè, mwatye an tè krich.
His legges of yron, and his feete were part of yron, and part of clay.
34 Antan ou t'ap gade l' konsa, yon wòch pran woule desann soti kote l' soti a, san se pa pesonn ki voye l', li vin frape estati a nan pye l' yo ki te fèt mwatye an fè mwatye an tè krich, li kraze yo an miyèt moso.
Thou beheldest it til a stone was cut without hands, which smote the image vpon his feete, that were of yron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Lamenm, fè, tè krich, kwiv, ajan, lò tonbe atè, yo tounen pousyè tankou pousyè sou glasi nan sezon chalè. Yon van soufle, li pote yo ale, li pa kite yon ti remak. Men, wòch ki te frape estati a pran grandi, li grandi, li grandi jouk li tounen yon gwo mòn ki kouvri tout latè.
Then was the yron, the clay, the brasse, the siluer and the golde broken all together, and became like the chaffe of the sommer floures, and the winde caryed them away, that no place was founde for them: and the stone that smote the image, became a great mountaine, and filled the whole earth.
36 Sa se rèv ou te fè a. Koulye a, monwa, mwen pral fè ou konnen sa li vle di.
This is the dreame, and we will declare before the King the interpretation thereof.
37 Monwa, se ou ki pi gran pase tout wa. Se Bondye nan syèl la ki mete ou wa, li ba ou pouvwa, li ba ou fòs, li fè moun fè lwanj ou.
O King, thou art a king of Kings: for the God of heauen hath giuen thee a kingdome, power, and strength, and glorie.
38 Li mete ou chèf pou ou gouvènen tout moun ki rete sou latè, pou ou gouvènen ata zannimo ak zwazo. Se ou menm ki tèt an lò a.
And in all places where the children of men dwell, the beasts of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen hath he giuen into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler ouer them al: thou art this heade of golde.
39 Apre ou, va gen yon lòt pèp k'ap pran gouvènman an. Men, gouvènman wa li a p'ap ka wè devan pa ou la. Konsa tou apre sa, va gen yon twazyèm pèp k'ap pran gouvènman an ankò. Se va tankou kwiv devan lò ou la. Li menm tou, l'ap donminen sou tout latè.
And after thee shall rise another kingdome, inferiour to thee, of siluer, and another third kingdome shalbe of brasse, which shall beare rule ouer all the earth.
40 Apre sa ankò, va gen yon katriyèm pèp k'ap pran gouvènman an. L'ap di kou fè. L'ap kraze brize. Menm jan fè kraze tout bagay, se konsa l'ap kraze lòt nasyon yo, l'ap fè yo tounen pousyè.
And the fourth kingdome shall be strong as yron: for as yron breaketh in pieces, and subdueth all things, and as yron bruiseth all these things, so shall it breake in pieces, and bruise all.
41 Ou te wè tou de pye yo ak tout zòtèy yo te mwatye an fè mwatye an tè krich. Sa vle di, ape gen divizyon nan dènye gouvènman an. L'ap yon ti jan solid tankou fè, menm jan ou te wè fè melanje ak tè krich la.
Where as thou sawest the feete and toes, parte of potters clay, and part of yron: the kingdome shalbe deuided, but there shalbe in it of the strength of the yron, as thou sawest the yron mixt with the clay, and earth.
42 Zòtèy yo tou te mwatye fè, mwatye tè krich. Sa vle di, yon pòsyon nan gouvènman sa a pral gen fòs, yon lòt pòsyon pral fèb.
And as the toes of the feete were parte of yron, and parte of clay, so shall the kingdome be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 Ou te wè fè a te melanje ak tè krich la, men yo pa t' pran. Konsa tou, chèf gouvènman sa yo pral seye mete tèt yo ansanm. Y'ap fè de fanmi yo marye yonn ak lòt. Men, sa p'ap mache.
And where as thou sawest yron mixt with clay and earth, they shall mingle themselues with the seede of men: but they shall not ioyne one with another, as yron can not bee mixed with clay.
44 Nan rèy dènye chèf sa yo, Bondye nan syèl la pral fè yon lòt chèf parèt, l'ap pran gouvènman an nan men yo pou tout tan. Li p'ap janm pase yon lòt li. Men, l'ap kraze tout lòt pèp yo, l'ap detwi yo. Li menm l'ap kanpe la pou tout tan.
And in the dayes of these Kings, shall the God of heauen set vp a kingdome, which shall neuer be destroyed: and this kingdome shall not be giuen to another people, but it shall breake, and destroy al these kingdomes, and it shall stand for euer.
45 Ou te wè ki jan yon wòch te pran desann soti kote l' soti a, san se pa pesonn ki voye l', epi li kraze gwo estati ki te fèt an fè, kwiv, tè krich, ajan ak lò a, pa vre? Bondye ki gen anpil pouvwa a fè monwa konnen sa ki gen pou rive nan tan k'ap vini an. Rèv ou te fè a klè. Sans mwen fè ou konnen an sèten.
Where as thou sawest, that the stone was cut of the mountaine without handes, and that it brake in pieces the yron, the brasse, the clay, the siluer, and the golde: so the great God hath shewed the King, what shall come to passe hereafter, and the dreame is true, and the interpretation thereof is sure.
46 Lè sa a, wa Nèbikadneza tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan Danyèl, epi li bay lòd pou yo fè ofrann bèt pou touye ak lòt ofrann ba li.
Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar fell vpon his face, and bowed himselfe vnto Daniel, and commanded that they should offer meate offrings, and sweete odours vnto him.
47 Wa a di Danyèl konsa: -Se vre wi! Bondye ou la gen plis pouvwa pase tout lòt bondye yo. Se li ki chèf tout wa, se li menm ki fè moun konnen sekrè ki kache, depi ou te ka fè m' konprann sans rèv mwen te fè a.
Also the King answered vnto Daniel, and said, I know of a trueth that your God is a God of gods, and the Lord of Kings, and the reueiler of secrets, seeing thou couldest open this secret.
48 Wa a mete Danyèl nan yon gwo pozisyon, li fè l' kado anpil bèl bagay, li nonmen l' gouvènè pwovens Babilòn lan, li mete l' sèl chèf sou tout nèg save lavil Babilòn yo.
So the King made Daniel a great man, and gaue him many and great giftes. Hee made him gouernour ouer the whole prouince of Babel, and chiefe of the rulers, and aboue all the wise men of Babel.
49 Danyèl mande wa a pou li mete Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego reskonsab òganize travay gouvènman an nan pwovens Babilòn lan. Danyèl menm te rete nan palè wa a.
Then Daniel made request to the King, and hee set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ouer the charge of the prouince of Babel: but Daniel sate in the gate of the King.
