Danyèl 11
1 “Nan premye ane Darius, Mèd la, Mwen te leve pou m ta kapab vin yon ankourajman ak yon pwotèj pou li.
Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, [even] I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
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 will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than [they] all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
3 Konsa, yon wa pwisan va vin leve. Li va gouvène ak gwo otorite e fè sa li pito.
And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
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 stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
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 strong, and [one] of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion [shall be] a great dominion.
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 in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he 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.
But out of a branch of her roots shall [one] stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against 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 shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, [and] with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue [more] years than the king of the north.
9 Li va antre nan wayòm a wa Sid la, men li va retounen nan pwòp peyi li.
So the king of the south shall come into [his] kingdom, and shall return into 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.
But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and [one] shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, [even] to his fortress.
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 shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, [even] with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the 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] when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down [many] ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened [by it].
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 set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with 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 there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but 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.
So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither [shall there be any] strength to withstand.
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.
But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
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.
He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand [on his side], neither 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.
After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause [it] to turn 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.
Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and 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.
Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes [in] the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, 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 in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 Lame debòde peyi a va soti devan l, e vin kraze nèt, ansanm ak prens akò a.
And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, 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 the league [made] with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong 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.
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do [that] which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: [yea], and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for 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 he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices 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.
Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: 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 both these kings’ hearts [shall be] to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end [shall be] at the time appointed.
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.
Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall do [exploits], and return to 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 come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
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.
For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
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 pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily [sacrifice], and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
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 do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].
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 understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, [many] days.
34 Alò, lè yo tonbe, yo va resevwa yon ti èd, men anpil lòt moun va vin jwenn ak yo an ipokrizi.
Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
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 them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make [them] white, [even] to the time of the end: because [it is] yet for a time appointed.
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 exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
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.
Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
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 in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
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.
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge [and] increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
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 of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
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.
He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, [even] Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 Anplis, li va lonje men li kont lòt peyi yo, e peyi Egypte la p ap chape.
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: 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.
But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians [shall be] at his steps.
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.
But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away 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 plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
