Danyèl 11
1 “Nan premye ane Darius, Mèd la, Mwen te leve pou m ta kapab vin yon ankourajman ak yon pwotèj pou li.
And from the first year of Darius the Mede I stood up that he might be strengthened and confirmed.
2 “Epi koulye a, mwen va di ou verite a. Gade byen, va gen twa wa ankò ki va leve Perse. Epi katriyèm nan va bokou pi rich ke tout lòt yo. Lè li vin fò akoz richès li yo, li va pwovoke tout pouvwa li a kont wayòm Grèce la.
And now I will shew thee the truth. Behold there shall stand yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be enriched exceedingly above them all: and when he shall be grown mighty by his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
3 Konsa, yon wa pwisan va vin leve. Li va gouvène ak gwo otorite e fè sa li pito.
But there shall rise up a strong king, and shall rule with great power: and he shall do what he pleaseth.
4 Epi lè li fin leve, wayòm li an va vin kraze e divize vè kat van syèl yo, men se pa a pwòp desandan pa li, ni selon otorite ke li te gouvène, paske wayòm li an va vin dechouke e vin bay a lòt moun ke yo menm.
And when he shall come to his height, his kingdom shall be broken, and it shall be divided towards the four winds of the heaven: but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom shall be rent in pieces, even for strangers, beside these.
5 “Epi wa a Sid la va vin fò, ansanm ak youn nan prens li yo ki va vin pi fò ke li, e li va domine li. Dominasyon li an va vrèman gran.
And the king of the south shall be strengthened, and one of his princes shall prevail over him, and he shall rule with great power: for his dominion shall be great.
6 Apre kèk ane, yo va fè yon alyans e fi wa a Sid la va vin kote wa Nò a pou antann yo pou yo gen lapè. Men fi a p ap ka kenbe pozisyon pouvwa li a. Ni li menm wa Sid la, li p ap ka kenbe pouvwa pa li a; men fi a va vin livre, ansanm ak sila ki te mennen l antre ak sila ki te devni papa l, menm ak sila ki te bay li soutyen nan lè sa yo.
And after the end of years they shall be in league together: and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make friendship, but she shall not obtain the strength of the arm, neither shall her seed stand: and she shall be given up, and her young men that brought her, and they that strengthened her in these times.
7 “Men youn nan desandan fanmi fi yo va leve nan plas li. Li va vin kont lame pa yo, pou l antre nan sitadèl wa Nò a. Li va aji kont yo, e li va vankre yo.
And a plant of the bud of her roots, shall stand up: and he shall come with an army, and shall enter into the province of the king of the north: and he shall abuse them, and shall prevail.
8 Anplis dye, imaj metal, veso presye an ajan ak lò yo, li va pote yo an kaptivite an Egypte. Konsa, li va sispann atake wa Nò a pandan kèk ane.
And he shall also carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven things, and their precious vessels of gold and silver: he shall prevail against the king of the north.
9 Li va antre nan wayòm a wa Sid la, men li va retounen nan pwòp peyi li.
And the king of the south shall enter into the kingdom, and shall return to his own land.
10 Fis li yo va rasanble yon gwo lame ki va vin debòde e travèse. Konsa, yo va retounen fè lagè rive jis nan pwòp sitadèl li a.
And his sons shall be provoked, and they shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and he shall come with haste like a flood: and he shall return and be stirred up, and he shall join battle with his forces.
11 “Wa Sid la va anraje e vin goumen ak wa Nò a. Epi dezyèm nan va leve yon gwo foul lame kont premye a, men foul lame sila a va livre nan men a premye a.
And the king of the south being provoked shall go forth, and shall fight against the king of the north, and shall prepare an exceeding great multitude, and a multitude shall be given into his hand.
12 Epi foul lame a va vin leve retire. Kè li va vin egzalte e li va fè sòlda tonbe pa di-milye, men, li p ap ka enpoze li.
And he shall take a multitude, and his heart shall be lifted up, and he shall cast down many thousands: but he shall not prevail.
13 Paske, wa Nò a va retounen e leve yon foul ki pi gwo ke sa avan an. Epi li va vini nan fen tan yo, menm nan fen ane yo, avèk yon gwo lame e avèk anpil minisyon.
For the king of the north shall return and shall prepare a multitude much greater than before: and in the end of times and years, be shall come in haste with a great army, and much riches.
14 “Alò, nan tan sila yo, va gen anpil moun ki va leve kont wa Sid la. Sila ki vyolan pami pèp nou an va leve yo menm pou etabli vizyon an, men yo va tonbe.
And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south, and the children of prevaricators of thy people shall lift up themselves to fulfill the vision, and they shall fall.
15 Epi wa Nò a va vini, li va monte yon teras e li va pran yon vil byen fòtifye. Konsa, lame a Sid yo p ap ka kanpe, ni meyè solda byen chwazi li yo. Li p ap gen okenn fòs pou l ka kanpe.
And the king of the north shall come, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take the best fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up to resist, and they shall not have strength.
16 Men sila ki vini kont li an va fè sa li pito, e nanpwen moun ki ka kanpe devan li. Konsa, li va kanpe nan peyi laglwa a, e nan men li va gen destriksyon.
And he shall come upon him and do according to his pleasure, and there shall be none to stand against his face: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and it shall be consumed by his hand.
17 Li va mete fas li pou vini ak pouvwa a tout wayòm li a. Li va mennen avèk li yon pwopozisyon lapè, ke li va etabli. Li va anplis bay li fi a fanm nan pou detwi wayòm nan. Men li p ap kanpe pou li, ni bay li soutyen.
And he shall set his face to come to possess all his kingdom, and he shall make upright conditions with him: and he shall give him a daughter of women, to overthrow it: and she shall not stand, neither shall she be for him.
18 Apre sa li va vire fas li vè peyi kot yo, e li va kaptire anpil nan yo. Men yon chèf va fè repwòch li a sispann. Anplis, li va fè l peye pou ensolans li.
And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many: and he shall cause the prince of his reproach to cease, and his reproach shall be turned upon him.
19 Konsa, li va vire fas li vè fòterès pwòp peyi li a, men li va glise tonbe, e li p ap ka releve ankò.
And he shall turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he shall stumble, and fall, and shall not be found.
20 “Epi nan plas li a, yon moun va koze yon mèt kontribisyon a travèse wayòm nan pou kontwole glwa li. Malgre sa, nan kèk jou, li va vin detwi, malgre se pa ni nan kòlè, ni nan batay.
And there shall stand up in his place, one most vile, and unworthy of kingly honour: and in a few days he shall be destroyed, not in rage nor in battle.
21 “Nan plas li a, yon nonm meprizab va vin leve, a sila tit a wa a pa t vin bay. Men li va vini nan yon tan trankil e li va sezi wayòm nan ak ti manèv koken flatè moun.
And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and shall obtain the kingdom by fraud.
22 Lame debòde peyi a va soti devan l, e vin kraze nèt, ansanm ak prens akò a.
And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face, and shall be broken; yea also the prince of the covenant.
23 Apre yon akò lapè fin fèt ak li, li va fè travay desepsyon. Li va monte reyisi pran pouvwa a ak yon ti ekip tou piti.
And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with him: and he shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people.
24 Nan tan lapè a, li va antre nan pati wayòm ki pi rich la, e li va fè sa ke zansèt li yo pa t janm fè, ni zansèt zansèt li yo. Li va distribye piyaj ak byen yo pami yo. Konsa, li va fòme yon plan kont sitadèl yo, men sèlman pou yon ti tan.
And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers: he shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time.
25 “Li va pwovoke pwisans ak kouraj li kont wa a Sid la ak yon gwo lame. Konsa, wa Sid la va fòme yon vrèman gwo lame pou fè lagè, men li p ap ka kanpe, paske yo va fòme yon plan kont li.
And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great army: and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they shall not stand, for they shall form designs against him.
26 Sila ki te kon manje pi bon manje nan men l, va detwi li, epi lame li a va bale nèt. Konsa, anpil moun va tonbe mouri.
And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain.
27 Selon toulède wa sa yo, kè yo apiye vè fè mal. Yo va pale manti youn ak lòt sou menm tab, men sa p ap reyisi, paske fen an toujou gen pou vini nan lè apwente a.
And the heart of the two kings shall be to do evil, and they shall speak lies at one table, and they shall not prosper: because as yet the end is unto another time.
28 Konsa, li va retounen nan sid, nan peyi li ak anpil piyaj. Men kè li va kont akò sen an, e li va pran desizyon retounen nan peyi li.
And he shall return into his land with much riches: and his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed and shall return into his own land.
29 “Nan lè apwente a, li va retounen antre nan Sid la. Men nan fwa sa a, li p ap menm jan li te ye fwa avan an.
At the time appointed he shall return, and he shall come to the south, but the latter time shall not be like the former.
30 Paske bato a Kittim yo va vini kont li. Akoz sa, li va vin gen chagren. Li va retounen byen anraje kont akò sen an, e li va aji. Konsa, li va retounen pran desizyon pou antann li ak sila ki vyole akò sen yo.
And the galleys and the Romans shall come upon him, and he shall be struck, and shall return, and shall have indignation against the covenant of the sanctuary, and he shall succeed: and he shall return and shall devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
31 “Sòlda li yo va pwofane sanktyè a, fò a menm, e fè sakrifis nòmal la vin sispann. Konsa, yo va fè monte abominasyon dezolasyon an.
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall defile the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice, and they shall place there the abomination unto desolation.
32 Ak lèv flatè, li va sedwi sila ki vyole akò yo, men pèp ki konnen Bondye a va kanpe fèm pou aji.
And such as deal wickedly against the covenant shall deceitfully dissemble: but the people that know their God shall prevail and succeed.
33 “Sila ki gen bon konprann pami pèp la va bay konesans a anpil moun. Malgre sa, yo va tonbe pa nepe, pa dife, pa kaptivite e pa piyaj pandan anpil jou.
And they that are learned among the people shall teach many: and they shall fall by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by spoil for many days.
34 Alò, lè yo tonbe, yo va resevwa yon ti èd, men anpil lòt moun va vin jwenn ak yo an ipokrizi.
And when they shall have fallen they shall be relieved with a small help: and many shall be joined to them deceitfully.
35 Kèk nan sila ki gen bon konprann yo va tonbe pou yo ka rafine pirifye, e fè yo blan, jis menm lè dènye tan an rive. Akoz li toujou gen pou vini nan lè apwente a.
And some of the learned shall fall, that they may be tried, and may be chosen, and made white even to the appointed time, because yet there shall be another time.
36 “Konsa, wa a va fè sa li pito. Li va vin egzalte. Li va bay tèt li glwa pi wo pase tout dye yo, e li va pale anpil bagay byen move kont Bondye a dye yo. Konsa, li va pwospere jiskaske endiyasyon an fini, paske dekrè ki pibliye a va akonpli.
And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall be lifted up, and shall magnify himself against every god: and he shall speak great things against the God of gods, and shall prosper, till the wrath be accomplished. For the determination is made.
37 Li p ap montre okenn respè pou dye a zansèt li yo, ni pou dezi fanm, ni li p ap gen respè pou okenn lòt dye. Paske li va leve tèt li ak glwa pi wo ke yo tout.
And he shall make no account of the God of his fathers: and he shall follow the lust of women, and he shall not regard any gods: for he shall rise up against all things.
38 Men olye de sa, li va bay glwa a dye a fòterès yo. Yon dye ke zansèt li yo pa t konnen, li va bay glwa ak lò, ajan, pyè presye ak trezò.
But he shall worship the god Maozim in his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not, he shall worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and things of great price.
39 Li va aji kont fòterès ki pi fò yo ak soutyen a yon dye etranje. Nenpòt moun ki rekonèt li, li va ogmante yo ak glwa, e li va fè yo domine sou anpil, e va divize teritwa a pou yon pri.
And he shall do this to fortify Maozim with a strange god, whom he hath acknowledged, and he shall increase glory and shall give them power over many, and shall divide the land gratis.
40 “Nan lè lafen an wa Sid la va atake li. Wa Nò a va rive kont li ak cha, ak chevalye, e ak anpil bato. Epi li va antre nan peyi yo, debòde yo e pase anndan yo.
And at the time prefixed the king of the south shall fight against him, and the king of the north shall come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great navy, and he shall enter into the countries, and shall destroy, and pass through.
41 Anplis, li va antre nan Peyi Laglwa a, e anpil peyi va ranvèse. Men sila yo va delivre soti nan men li: Edom Moab, ak premye nan fis a Ammon yo.
And he shall enter into the glorious land, and many shall fall: and these only shall be saved out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the principality of the children of Ammon.
42 Anplis, li va lonje men li kont lòt peyi yo, e peyi Egypte la p ap chape.
And he shall lay his hand upon the lands: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 Men li va pran kontwòl tout trezò kache ak lò, ajan ak tout bagay presye an Egypte yo. Libyen yo ak Etyopyen yo va swiv pye li yo.
And he shall have power over the treasures of gold, and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt: and he shall pass through Libya, and Ethiopia.
44 Men rimè ki sòti nan Lès ak nan Nò va vin twouble li. Li va soti deyò ak gwo kòlè pou detwi e fè anpil disparèt nèt.
And tidings out of the east, and out of the north shall trouble him: and he shall come with a great multitude to destroy and slay many.
45 Li va fè monte tant a palè li a antre lanmè a ak Mòn Sen Laglwa a. Malgre sa, li va rive nan fen li e nanpwen moun k ap bay li soutyen.
And he shall fix his tabernacle Apadno between the seas, upon a glorious and holy mountain: and he shall come even to the top thereof, and none shall help him.
