Danyèl 10
1 Nan twazyèm ane Cyrus, wa Perse la, yon mesaj te revele a Daniel, ki te rele Belschatsar. Mesaj la te vrè; menm yon gran gè. Li te konprann mesaj la, e te gen konprann vizyon an.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true, even a great warfare; and he gave heed to the word, and had understanding of the vision.
2 Nan jou sila yo, mwen menm, Daniel, mwen t ap fè dèy pandan twa semèn.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three whole weeks.
3 Mwen pa t manje okenn bon manje; ni vyann, ni diven nan pa t antre nan bouch mwen. Ni mwen pa t sèvi okenn pomad pou onksyone jiskaske tout twa semèn sila yo te fin akonpli.
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 Nan venn-katriyèm jou nan premye mwa a, pandan mwen te akote gran rivyè a, ki se Hiddékel,
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Tigris,
5 mwen te leve zye m gade e vwala, te gen yon sèten nonm abiye an len, ak senti l mare ak yon sentiwon lò pi, ki sòti Uphaz.
I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz;
6 Anplis, kò li te tankou krizolit, figi li kon aparans ak loray, zye li kon tòch flanm dife, bra li ak pye li tankou bwonz byen poli, e son a pawòl li yo, kon son a yon gran foul.
his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 Alò, mwen menm, Daniel, mwen tou sèl te wè vizyon an, pandan mesye ki te avè m yo pa t wè vizyon an, men yon gwo laperèz te vin tonbe sou yo, e yo te kouri ale kache kò yo.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; howbeit a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 Konsa, mwen te rete sèl, e mwen te wè gran vizyon sila a. Konsa, pa t gen fòs ki te rete nan mwen, paske koulè po m te vin pal tankou moun ki mouri, e mwen te pèdi tout fòs mwen nèt.
So that I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 Men mwen te tande son a pawòl li yo. Depi mwen te tande son pawòl li yo, mwen te tonbe nan yon gwo somèy sou figi mwen, figi m atè nèt.
Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 Konsa, gade byen, yon men te touche mwen ki te plase m sou men ak jenou m yo.
And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me tottering upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 Li te di mwen: “O Daniel, nonm ki trè byeneme a, konprann pawòl ke mwen va pale ou yo. Kanpe dwat! Paske mwen te voye kote ou koulye a.” Lè li te pale pawòl sa a, mwen menm, mwen te kanpe. Mwen t ap tranble.
And he said unto me: 'O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, give heed unto the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for now am I sent unto thee'; and when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Alò, li te di mwen: “Pa pè, Daniel, paske depi premye jou ke ou te dedye kè ou pou konprann sa a, lè ou te imilye ou devan Bondye ou a, pawòl ou yo te vin tande. Konsa, mwen te vini akoz pawòl ou yo.
Then said he unto me: 'Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard; and I am come because of thy words.
13 Men prens a wayòm Perse la te kanpe kont mwen pandan venteyen jou; epi gade byen Micaël, youn nan chèf a prens yo, te vin ede m, paske mwen te rete la sèl ak wa a Perse yo.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left over there beside the kings of Persia.
14 Koulye a, mwen gen tan vini pou bay ou konprann de sa ki va rive a pèp ou a nan dènye jou yo, paske vizyon an apatyen a anpil jou ki poko rive.”
Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the end of days; for there is yet a vision for the days.'
15 Lè li te pale ak mwen konsènan pawòl sila yo, mwen te vire figi mwen vè tè a e mwen pa t ka pale menm.
And when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
16 Epi gade byen, yon bagay ki te sanble ak yon fis a lòm te touche lèv mwen. Konsa, mwen te louvri bouch mwen pou te pale, e mwen te di a sila ki te kanpe devan m nan: “O senyè mwen an, akoz vizyon an chagren te antre nan mwen e tout fòs mwen te kite m.
And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said unto him that stood before me: 'O my lord, by reason of the vision my pains are come upon me, and I retain no strength.
17 Paske kòman yon kalite sèvitè konsa kapab pale ak youn tankou senyè mwen an? Epi pou mwen, fòs pa rete nan mwen, ni okenn souf pa rete nan mwen.”
For how can this servant of my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.'
18 Epi sila a ki te sanble ak fis a lòm nan, te touche mwen ankò e te ban m fòs.
Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.
19 Li te di mwen: “O nonm trè byeneme a, pa pè. Lapè avèk ou. Pran kouraj! Wi, se pou vin vanyan!” Alò, depi lè li te fin pale ak mwen an, mwen te resevwa fòs, e mwen te di: “Kite senyè mwen an pale, paske ou te ban m fòs.”
And he said: 'O man greatly beloved, fear not! peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.' And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said: 'Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.'
20 Konsa, li te di: “Èske ou pa konprann poukisa mwen te vin kote ou a? Men mwen va retounen koulye a, pou goumen kont prens a Perse la. Lè mwen ale, gade byen prens a Grèce la va vini.
Then said he: Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.
21 Men mwen va di ou sa ki enskri nan pawòl verite a. Nanpwen okenn moun k ap kanpe avè m kont sila yo, sòf ke Micaël, prens ou an.
Howbeit I will declare unto thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth; and there is none that holdeth with me against these, except Michael your prince.
