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 the Persians a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Baltasar; and the thing was true, and great power and understanding in the vision was given to him.
2 Nan jou sila yo, mwen menm, Daniel, mwen t ap fè dèy pandan twa semèn.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full 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, and no flesh or wine entered into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself with oil, until three whole weeks were accomplished.
4 Nan venn-katriyèm jou nan premye mwa a, pandan mwen te akote gran rivyè a, ki se Hiddékel,
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was near the great river, which is Tigris Eddekel.
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.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with gold of Ophaz:
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.
and his body was as Tharsis, and his face was a the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his legs as the appearance of shining brass, and the voice of his words as 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 only saw the vision: and the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great amazement fell upon them, and they fled in fear.
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 I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there was no strength left in me, and my glory was turned 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 I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard him I was pricked [in the heart], and [I fell with] my face to the earth.
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, and it raised me on my knees.
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 to me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak to you, and stand upright: for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken to me this word, 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.
And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to afflict yourself before the Lord your God, they words were heard, and I am come because of your 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 the Persians withstood me twenty-one days: and behold, Michael, one of the princes, came to help me; and I left him there with the chief of the kingdom of the Persians:
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.”
and I have come to inform you of all that shall befall your people in the last days: for the vision is yet for [many] 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 with me according to these words, I turned my face to the ground, and was pricked [in the heart].
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, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O [my] lord, at the sight of you my bowels were turned within me, and I had 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.”
And how shall your servant be able, O [my] lord, to speak with this my lord? and as for me, from henceforth strength will not remain in me, and there is no 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.
And there touched me again as it were 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 said to me, Fear not, man greatly beloved: peace be to you, quit yourself like a man, and be strong. And when he had spoken with me, I received strength, and said, Let my lord speak; for you have 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.
And he said, Know you, therefore I am come to you? and now I will return to fight with the prince of the Persians: and I was going in, and the prince of the Greeks came.
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.
But I will tell you that which is ordained in the scripture of truth: and there is no one that holds with me in these matters but Michael your prince.
