Danyèl 2

1 Alò, nan dezyèm ane règn Nebucadnetsar a, Nebucadnetsar te fè rèv yo. Epi lespri li te twouble, e li pa t ka dòmi.

And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, dreamed hath Nebuchadnezzar dreams, and his spirit doth move itself, and his sleep hath been against him;

2 Konsa, wa a te pase lòd pou rele fè antre tout majisyen yo, mèt zetwal yo, moun ki fè cham, mèt wanga ak Kaldeyen yo pou pale ak wa a, e fè l tande ki rèv li te fè yo. Konsa, yo te antre e te kanpe devan wa a.

and the king saith to call for scribes, and for enchanters, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king;

3 Wa a te di yo: “Mwen te fè yon rèv e lespri m vin twouble pou l ta konprann rèv la.”

and the king saith to them, 'A dream I have dreamed, and moved is my spirit to know the dream.'

4 Kaldeyen yo te pale ak wa a an Arameyen: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan! Pale rèv la a sèvitè ou yo e nou va deklare entèpretasyon li.”

And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaean, 'O king, to the ages live, tell the dream to thy servants, and the interpretation we do shew.'

5 Wa a te reponn a Kaldeyen yo: “Lòd mwen an fin etabli: si nou pa fè m konnen rèv la ak entèpretasyon li a, nou va vin chire mòso an mòso, e lakay nou va vin yon pil ranblè.

The king hath answered and said to the Chaldeans, 'The thing from me is gone; if ye do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, pieces ye are made, and your houses are made dunghills;

6 Men si nou deklare rèv la ak entèpretasyon li, nou va resevwa nan men m, kado, rekonpans ak gwo lonè. Pou sa, fè m deklarasyon rèv la ak entèpretasyon li.”

and if the dream and its interpretation ye do shew, gifts, and fee, and great glory ye receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation shew ye me.'

7 Yo te reponn yon dezyèm fwa. Yo te di: “Kite wa a eksplike rèv la a sèvitè li yo e nou va deklare entèpretasyon li.”

They have answered a second time, and are saying, 'Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and the interpretation we do shew.

8 Wa a te reponn: “Mwen konnen, anverite, ke nou ap jwe pou tan, paske nou te wè ke lòd mwen an gentan fin byen etabli.

The king hath answered and said, 'Of a truth I know that time ye are gaining, because that ye have seen that the thing is gone from me,

9 Men si nou pa fè m konnen rèv la, ap gen yon sèl dekrè pou nou. Paske nou te vin antann nou, youn ak lòt pou fè manti ak pale pawòl konwonpi devan m, jiskaske bagay la vin chanje. Pou sa a, fè m konnen rèv la pou m ka konnen ke nou kapab deklare entèpretasyon li ban mwen.”

[so] that, if the dream ye do not cause me to know — one is your sentence, seeing a word lying and corrupt ye have prepared to speak before me, till that the time is changed, therefore the dream tell ye to me, then do I know that its interpretation ye do shew me.'

10 Kaldeyen yo te reponn wa a, e te di: “Nanpwen yon nonm sou latè ki kapab deklare bagay la bay wa a, otan ke okenn gwo wa oswa chèf pa t janm mande okenn bagay konsa a okenn majisyen, mèt wanga, oswa Kaldeyen.

The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, 'There is not a man on the earth who is able to shew the king's matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, hath asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;

11 Anplis, bagay ke wa a mande a difisil, e nanpwen okenn lòt moun ki ka deklare li bay wa a sof ke dye yo, ki pa rete nan chè mòtèl.”

and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and others are there not that do shew it before the king, save the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.'

12 Akoz sa, wa a te vin ranpli ak kòlè ak gwo mekontantman, e li te bay lòd pou detwi tout mesye saj Babylone yo.

Therefore the king hath been angry and very wroth, and hath said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;

13 Konsa, dekrè a te pibliye ke mesye saj yo ta dwe touye. Konsa, yo t ap chache Daniel ak zanmi li yo pou touye yo.

And the sentence hath gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

14 Men Daniel te reponn ak sajès e ak bon konprann a Ajoc, chèf kò gad a wa a, ki te ale deyò pou touye mesye saj a Babylone yo.

Then Daniel hath replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who hath gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.

15 Li te di a Ajoc, chèf pou wa a: “Pou ki rezon dekrè a wa a prese konsa?” Epi Ajoc te pale Daniel tout bagay la.

He hath answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, 'Wherefore [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?' Then Arioch hath made the thing known to Daniel,

16 Konsa, Daniel te antre anndan e te fè yon demann a wa a pou li ta bay li tan, pou l ta ka deklare entèpretasyon an bay a wa a.

and Daniel hath gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to shew the interpretation to the king.

17 Epi Daniel te ale lakay li. Li te fè zanmi li yo Hanania, Mischaël, ak Azaria okouran konsènan bagay sila a,

Then Daniel to his house hath gone, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he hath made the thing known,

18 pou yo ta kapab fè yon demann mizerikòd a Bondye syèl la konsènan mistè sa a, pou Daniel ak zanmi li yo pa ta vin detwi ak lòt nan mesye saj a Babylone yo.

and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they destroy not Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19 Konsa, mistè a te revele a Daniel nan yon vizyon lanwit la.

Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret hath been revealed. Then hath Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.

20 Daniel te di: “Kite non Bondye vin beni jis pou tout tan, paske sajès ak pouvwa se pou Li.

Daniel hath answered and said, 'Let the name of God be blessed from age even unto age, for wisdom and might — for they are His.

21 Se Li menm ki chanje tan ak sikonstans yo. Li retire wa e Li etabli wa. Li bay sajès a moun saj yo, e konesans a moun ki gen bon konprann.

And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.

22 Se Li menm ki revele sekre pwofond yo. Li fè parèt sa ki nan tenèb yo, e se limyè a ki rete avè L.

He is revealing deep and hidden things; He hath known what [is] in darkness, and light with Him hath dwelt.

23 A Ou menm, O Bondye de papa zansèt mwen yo, mwen remèsi Ou. Mwen bay Ou lwanj, paske Ou te ban mwen sajès ak pouvwa. Menm koulye a, Ou te fè m konnen sa ke nou te mande Ou a, Paske Ou te revele a nou menm pwoblem a wa a.”

Thee, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might Thou hast given to me; and now, Thou hast caused me to know that which we have sought from Thee, for the king's matter Thou hast caused us to know.'

24 Akoz sa, Daniel te antre kote Ajoc, ke wa a te chwazi pou detwi mesye saj a Babylone yo. Li te antre e te pale avè l konsa: “Pa detwi mesye saj a Babylone yo! Pran m antre nan prezans a wa a, e mwen va deklare entèpretasyon an bay wa a.”

Therefore Daniel hath gone up unto Arioch, whom the king hath appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he hath gone, and thus hath said to him, 'The wise men of Babylon thou dost not destroy, bring me up before the king, and the interpretation to the king I do shew.'

25 Konsa, Ajoc te mennen Daniel byen vit devan prezans a wa a, e li te pale avèk li konsa: “Mwen te twouve yon nonm pami egzile Juda yo ki kapab fè wa a konnen entèpretasyon an.”

Then Arioch in haste hath brought up Daniel before the king, and thus hath said to him — 'I have found a man of the sons of the Removed of Judah, who the interpretation to the king doth make known.'

26 Wa a te di a Daniel, ki te rele Beltschatsar: “Èske ou kapab fè m konnen rèv ke m te fè a, ak entèpretasyon li an?”

The king hath answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, 'Art thou able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?'

27 Daniel te reponn devan wa a. Li te di: “Konsènan mistè sou sila wa a te mande a, ni mesye saj yo, ni mèt zetwal yo, ni majisyen yo, ni divinò yo p ap kapab deklare sa a wa a.

Daniel hath answered before the king and said, 'The secret that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to shew to the king;

28 Men gen yon Bondye nan syèl la ki devwale mistè yo, e Li te fè konnen a Wa Nebucadnetsar sa ki va rive nan dènye jou yo. Men rèv ak vizyon nan tèt ou yo sou kabann ou an, se konsa:

but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. 'Thy dream and the visions of thy head on thy bed are these:

29 “Konsènan ou menm, o wa, pandan sou kabann ou an, refleksyon ou te vire vè sa ki ta vin rive nan tan ki gen pou vini yo. Epi Sila ki fè revelasyon mistè yo te fè ou konnen sa k ap vini yo.

Thou, O king, thy thoughts on thy bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets hath caused thee to know that which [is] to be.

30 Men selon mwen menm, mistè sa a pa t revele a mwen menm akoz sajès ki plis pase tout lòt moun k ap viv yo, men pou bi ke entèpretasyon an ta kapab vin konnen a wa a, e ke ou ta ka konprann refleksyon a panse ou yo.

As to me — not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living hath this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of thy heart thou dost know.

31 “Ou menm, O wa, ou t ap gade e vwala, te gen yon sèl gwo estati. Estati sa a, ki te byen laj e tèlman bèl, te kanpe devan ou e aparans li te etonan.

'Thou, O king, wast looking, and lo, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing over-against thee, and its appearance [is] terrible.

32 Tèt estati a an lò fen, lestomak ak bra li an ajan, vant li ak kwis li an bwonz,

This image! its head [is] of good gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass;

33 janm li an fè, pye li, yon pati an fè e yon pati an ajil.

its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.

34 Ou te kontinye gade, jiskaske yon pyè wòch te taye san men moun, e li ta frape estati a sou pye li ki fèt an fè ak ajil la e li te kraze yo an mòso.

Thou wast looking till that a stone hath been cut out without hands, and it hath smitten the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it hath broken them small;

35 Epi fè a, ajil la, bronz ak ajan an te vin kraze nan menm moman an e te vin tankou pay ki sòti sou glasi vannen nan gran sezon. Konsa, van te pote yo ale jiskaske yo pa t menm jwenn tras yo. Men wòch ki te frape estati a te vin fè yon gwo mòn, e te ranpli tout latè.

then broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and carried them away hath the wind, and no place hath been found for them: and the stone that smote the image hath become a great mountain, and hath filled all the land.

36 “Se sa ki te rèv la. Konsa, nou va bay lentèpretasyon li devan wa a.

This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we do tell before the king.

37 Ou menm, O wa, ou se wadèwa yo, a sila Bondye syèl la te bay wayòm nan, pouvwa, pwisans ak glwa a.

'Thou, O king, art a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, hath given to thee;

38 Epi nenpòt kote fis a lòm yo rete, oswa bèt nan chan yo, oswa zwazo syèl yo, Li te bay yo nan men ou, e Li te fè ou chèf sou yo. Ou se tèt an lò a.

and whithersoever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the fowl of the heavens, He hath given into thy hand, and hath caused thee to rule over them all; thou [art] this head of gold.

39 “Apre ou, va leve yon lòt wayòm ki enferyè a ou menm e yon lòt twazyèm ak bwonz, ki va renye sou tout latè.

And after thee doth rise up another kingdom lower than those, and another third kingdom of brass, that doth rule overall the earth.

40 Epi va gen yon katriyèm wayòm ak fòs tankou fè. Menm jan ke fè a kraze e fann tout bagay yo, konsa, tankou fè ki kraze vin fè anpil mòso yo, li va vin kraze e fann tout sila yo an mòso.

And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as iron that is breaking all these, it beateth small and breaketh.

41 Nan sila ou te wè pye ak dwèt pye yo, yon pati an fè ak yon pati an ajil la, li va yon wayòm divize. Men li va genyen nan li kapasite pou vin di kon fè, jan ou te wè fè a mele ak ajil la.

As to that which thou hast seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter's clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it, because that thou hast seen the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 Dwèt pye li yo te mele fè ak kanari; konsa, yon pati nan wayòm nan va fò e yon pati va frajil.

As to the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle.

43 Epi jan ou te wè fè a mele ak ajil òdinè a, yo va vin mele youn ak lòt nan jèm a lòm; men yo p ap kole byen youn ak lòt, menm jan fè a pa mele ak kanari.

Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44 “Nan jou a wa sila yo, Bondye syèl yo va etabli yon wayòm ki p ap janm detwi, e wayòm sa a p ap lese pou yon lòt pèp. Li va kraze e mete fen a tout wayòm sila yo, men li va, li menm dire pou tout tan.

'And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed — to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age.

45 Jan ou te wè ke yon wòch te taye sòti sou yon mòn san sèvi ak men moun e ke li te kraze fè a, bwonz lan, ajil la, ajan an, ak lò a gran Bondye a te fè konnen a wa a sa ki va rive nan tan k ap vini an. Donk, rèv la vrè e entèpretasyon li fèt ak fidelite.”

Because that thou hast seen that out of the mountain cut hath been a stone without hands, and it hath beaten small the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation stedfast.

46 Konsa, Wa Nebucadnetsar te tonbe sou figi li. Li te rann omaj a Daniel e li te pase lòd pou prezante li ak yon ofrann ak lansan ki santi bon.

Then hath king Nebuchadnezzar fallen on his face, and to Daniel he hath done obeisance, and present, and sweet things, he hath said to pour out to him.

47 Wa a te reponn Daniel. Li te di: “Anverite, Bondye ou a se yon Dye a tout dye yo, yon Senyè a wa yo, e youn ki devwale mistè yo; paske ou te vin gen kapasite pou revele mistè sila a.”

The king hath answered Daniel and said, 'Of a truth [it is] that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this secret.'

48 Konsa, wa a te Leve Daniel, te bay li anpil gwo kado. Li te fè li chèf sou tout pwovens a Babylone yo, e li te vin chèf an tèt a tout mesye saj a Babylone yo.

Then the king hath made Daniel great, and many great gifts he hath given to him, and hath caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the perfects over all the wise men of Babylon.

49 Daniel te fè yon demann a wa a, e wa a te chwazi Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego sou tout afè yo nan pwovens Babylone, men se te Daniel ki te rete nan pòtay a wa a.

And Daniel hath sought from the king, and he hath appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.
