Danyèl 4
1 Nebucadnetsar, wa a a tout pèp yo, nasyon ak lang, ki rete sou tout tè a: “Ke lapè nou kapab vin anpil!
Nabugodonosor, the kyng, writith thus to alle puplis and langagis, that dwellen in al erthe, pees be multiplied to you.
2 Li te sanble bon pou mwen deklare sign ak mèvèy ke Bondye Pi Wo a te fè pou mwen yo.
Hiy God made at me myraclis and merueils;
3 A la gran, sign Li yo gran! A la pwisan, mèvèy Li yo pwisan! Wayòm Li se yon wayòm k ap dire jis pou tout tan, epi dominasyon li de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.
therfor it pleside me to preche hise myraclis, for tho ben greet, and hise merueils, for tho ben stronge; and his rewme is an euerlastynge rewme, and his power is in generacioun and in to generacioun.
4 Mwen, Nebucadnetsar, mwen te alèz nan lakay mwen e mwen t ap pwospere nan palè mwen an.
I, Nabugodonosor, was restful in myn hous, and flourynge in my paleis;
5 Mwen te fè yon rèv e li te fè m gen gwo laperèz; epi refleksyon sila yo sou kabann mwen ak vizyon yo nan panse m te fè m gen gwo laperèz.
Y siy a dreem, that made me aferd; and my thouytis in my bed, and the siytis of myn heed disturbliden me.
6 Konsa, mwen te pase lòd pou fè mennen devan prezans mwen tout mesye saj Babylone yo, pou yo ta ka fè m konnen entèpretasyon a rèv la.
And a decre was set forth bi me, that alle the wise men of Babiloyne schulden be brouyt in bifor my siyt, and that thei schulden schewe to me the soilyng of the dreem.
7 Epi majisyen yo, mèt zetwal yo, Kaldeyen yo ak divinò yo te antre e mwen te pale yo rèv la, men yo pa t ka fè m konnen entèpretasyon li.
Than false dyuynours, astronomyens, Caldeis, and biholderis of auteris entriden; and Y telde the dreem in the siyt of hem, and thei schewiden not to me the soilyng therof, til the felowe in office,
8 Men finalman, Daniel te antre devan m, ke non li te Beltschatsar, selon non dye pa mwen an e nan sila lespri a dye sen yo ye a. Mwen te pale rèv la a li menm, e te di:
Danyel, to whom the name was Balthasar, bi the name of my God, entride in my siyt, which Danyel hath the spirit of hooli goddis in hym silf; and Y spak the dreem bifor hym.
9 O Beltschatsar, chèf majisyen yo, akoz mwen konnen ke lespri a dye sen yo nan ou e nanpwen mistè ki difisil pou ou fè m konnen vizyon a rèv mwen ke m te fè yo, ansanm ak entèpretasyon li.
Balthasar, prince of dyuynouris, whom Y knowe, that thou hast in thee the spirit of hooli goddis, and ech sacrament, ether preuytee, is not vnpossible to thee, telle thou to me the visiouns of my dreemes, whiche Y siy, and the soilyng of tho.
10 Alò, men vizyon ki te nan tèt mwen pandan mwen kouche sou kabann mwen an: Mwen t ap gade e vwala, yon bwa nan mitan tè a, e wotè l te byen gran.
This is the visioun of myn heed in my bed. Y siy, and lo! a tree was in the myddis of erthe, and the hiynesse therof was ful greet.
11 Bwa a te grandi byen gwo, e li te vin fò epi wotè l te rive jis nan syèl la. Li te vizib jis rive nan dènye pwent a tout tè a.
And the tree was greet and strong, and the heiythe therof touchide heuene, and the biholdynge therof was `til to the endis of al erthe.
12 Fèy li te byen bèl, fwi li te anpil e nan li, te gen manje pou tout moun. Bèt chan yo te jwenn lonbraj anba li, epi zwazo nan syèl yo te rete sou branch li, epi tout kreyati vivan yo te jwenn manje yo ladann.
The leeuys therof weren ful faire, and the fruyt therof was ful myche, and the mete of alle was in it; beestis and wielde beestis dwelliden vndur it, and briddis of the eir lyuyden in the braunchis therof, and ech man ete of it.
13 Mwen t ap gade vizyon yo nan panse m, sou kabann mwen an, epi vwala yon ki sen k ap veye te desann soti nan syèl la.
Thus Y siy in the visioun of myn heed, on my bed. And lo! a wakere, and hooli man cam doun fro heuene,
14 Li te kriye fò e te pale konsa: Koupe bwa a, e retire branch li yo! Retire tout fèy li, e gaye fwi li yo! Kite bèt yo ale soti anba l ak zwazo yo soti sou branch li.
and he criede strongli, and seide thus, Hewe ye doun the tree, and kitte ye doun the bowis therof, and schake ye awei the leeuys therof, and scatere ye abrood the fruytis therof; beestis fle awei, that be vndur it, and briddis fro the bowis therof.
15 Sepandan kite chouk la rete anrasine nan tè a, menm avèk yon bann an fè ak bwonz k ap ansèkle l nan zèb nèf chan an. Kite moun sa a tranpe ak lawouze syèl la. Kite li pataje zèb la avèk bèt chan latè yo.
Netheles suffre ye the seed of rootis therof in erthe, and be he boondun with a boond of irun and of bras, in erbis that ben with out forth, and in the deew of heuene be he died, and his part be with wielde beestis in the erbe of erthe.
16 Kite kè li vin chanje pou l pa kè moun ankò, men ke kè a yon bèt vin bay a li menm. Konsa, kite sèt epòk vin pase sou li.
His herte be chaungid fro mannus herte, and the herte of a wielde beeste be youun to hym, and seuene tymes be chaungid on hym.
17 Dekrèt sa a se dekrè a sila ki t ap veye yo, epi desizyon sa a se yon lòd a sila ki sen yo, pou tout sila k ap viv yo kapab konnen, ke Pi Wo a se chèf sou wayòm a lèzòm, epi Li va bay li a nenpòt moun Li pito, epi Li va ranje bay li sou moun ki pi ba yo.
In the sentence of wakeris it is demed, and it is the word and axyng of seyntis, til lyuynge men knowe, that hiy God is Lord in the rewme of men; and he schal yyue it to whom euere he wole, and he schal ordeyne on it the mekeste man.
18 Sa se rèv ke mwen menm, Nebucadnetsar, te fè. Alò, ou menm, Beltschatsar, ou fè m konnen entèpretasyon li, kòmsi nanpwen lòt moun pami mesye saj wayòm mwen yo ki kapab fè m konnen entèpretasyon an. Men ou menm, ou kapab, paske lespri a dye sen yo nan ou.”
Y, Nabugodonosor, the kyng, siy this dreem. Therfor thou, Balthasar, telle hastili the interpretyng, for alle the wise men of my rewme moun not seie to me the soilyng; but thou maist, for the spirit of hooli goddis is in thee.
19 Konsa Daniel, ki rele Beltschatsar, te vin bèbè pandan yon ti tan e refleksyon li yo te fè l pè. Wa a te reponn e te di: “Beltschatsar, pa kite rèv la, ni entèpretasyon li twouble ou.” Beltschatsar te reponn: “Senyè mwen, pito ke rèv la te apatyen a sila ki rayi ou yo, e entèpretasyon li a lènmi ou yo!
Thanne Danyel, to whom the name was Balthasar, began to thenke priueli with ynne hym silf, as in oon our, and hise thouytis disturbliden hym. Forsothe the kyng answeride, and seide, Balthasar, the dreem and the interpretyng therof disturble not thee. Balthasar answeride, and seide, My lord, the dreem be to hem that haten thee, and the interpretyng therof be to thin enemyes.
20 Pyebwa ke ou te wè a, ki te vin gran, e te vin fò a, wotè a sila ki te rive jis nan syèl la, e te vizib a tout tè a;
The tree which thou siyest hiy and strong, whos heiythe stretchith `til to heuene, and the biholdyng therof in to ech lond,
21 epi fèy a sila ki te bèl, fwi anpil la, pyebwa nan sila te gen manje pou tout moun nan, pyebwa anba sila bèt chan yo te viv la, e sou branch a sila zwazo syèl yo te vin poze a—
and the faireste braunchis therof, and the fruyt therof ful myche, and the mete of alle in it, and beestis of the feeld dwellynge vndur it, and the briddis of the eir dwellynge in the boowis therof,
22 se ou menm, O wa! Paske ou te vin gran, e ou te vin fò; epi majeste ou te vin gran rive jis nan syèl la, e dominasyon ou jis rive nan dènye pwent latè.
thou art, kyng, that art magnefied, and wexidist strong, and thi greetnesse encreesside, and cam `til to heuene, and thi power in to the endis of al erthe.
23 “Epi tandiske wa a te wè yon ki t ap veye, yon ki sen, ki t ap desann kite syèl la, e ki t ap di: ‘Koupe bwa a e detwi li; sepandan, kite chouk la ak rasin li nan tè a, menm avèk yon bann fè ak bwonz k ap ansèkle li nan zèb nèf nan chan an, kite li menm moun nan tranpe ak lawouze syèl la, e kite li pataje li ak bèt chan yo jiskaske sèt epòk vin pase sou li,’
Sotheli that the kyng siy a wakere and hooli come doun fro heuene, and seie, Hewe ye doun the tree, and distrie ye it, netheles leeue ye the seed of rootis therof in erthe, and be he boundun with irun and bras, in erbis with out forth, and be he bispreynt with the deew of heuene, and his mete be with wielde beestis, til seuene tymes be chaungid on hym;
24 “Sa se entèpretasyon an, O wa, e sa se dekrè a Pi Wo a ki te vin rive sou senyè mwen an, wa a:
this is the interpretyng of the sentence of the hiyeste, which sentence is comun on my lord, the kyng.
25 Ke ou va chase ale lwen de moun, ou va rete ak bèt chan, yo va fè ou manje zèb tankou bèf, e ou va tranpe ak lawouze syèl la. Epi sèt epòk va vin pase sou ou jiskaske ou vin rekonèt ke Pi Wo a se chèf sou wayòm a lèzòm, e Li bay li a sila ke Li pito.
Thei schulen caste thee out fro men, and thi dwellyng schal be with beestys and wielde beestis, and thou schalt ete hey, as an oxe doith, but also thou schalt be bisched with the dew of heuene, also seuene tymes schulen be chaungid on thee, til thou knowe, that hiy God is Lord `on the rewme of men, and yyueth it to whom euer he wole.
26 Epi, tandiske li te kòmande pou kite chouk la, ak rasin pyebwa a, wayòm ou an va asire apre ou vin rekonèt ke se syèl la ki renye.
Forsothe that he comaundide, that the seed of rootis therof, that is, of the tree, schulde be left, thi rewme schal dwelle to thee, aftir that thou knowist that the power is of heuene.
27 Akoz sa, O wa, ke konsèy mwen an kapab fè ou kontan: Sispann koulye a, peche ou yo. Ranplase yo ak ladwati, e inikite ou yo avèk montre mizerikòd a malere yo. Petèt konsa, kapab genyen yon pwolonjman trankilite ou.”
Wherfor, kyng, my counsel plese thee, and ayenbie thi synnes with almesdedis, and ayenbie thi wickidnessis with mercies of pore men; in hap God schal foryyue thi trespassis.
28 Tout sa te vin rive a Nebucadnetsar, wa a.
Alle these thingis camen on Nabugodonosor, the kyng.
29 Douz mwa pita, li t ap mache sou twati palè wa a Babylone.
After the ende of twelue monethis he walkide in the halle of Babiloyne;
30 Wa a te reflechi e te di: “Èske se pa Gran Babylone sa a, ke m te bati kon yon rezidans wayal pa fòs pouvwa mwen an, e pou glwa a pwòp majeste mwen an?”
and the kyng answeride, and seide, Whether this is not Babiloyne, the greet citee, which Y bildide in to the hous of rewme, in the miyt of my strengthe, and in the glorie of my fairnesse?
31 Pandan pawòl sa te toujou nan bouch a wa a, yon vwa te sòti nan syèl la e te di: “Wa Nebucadnetsar, a ou menm sa deklare; ‘Wayòm nan rache soti nan men ou.
Whanne the word was yit in the mouth of the kyng, a vois felle doun fro heuene, Nabugodonosor, kyng, it is seid to thee, Thi rewme is passid fro thee,
32 Ou va chase ale lwen de moun e plas ou pou rete va avèk bèt chan yo. Yo va fè ou manje zèb tankou bèf e sèt epòk a va pase sou ou jiskaske ou rekonèt ke Pi Wo a se chèf sou tout wayòm a lèzòm e Li bay li a nenpòt moun ke Li pito.’”
and thei schulen caste thee out fro men, and thi dwellyng schal be with beestis and wielde beestis; thou schalt ete hey, as an oxe doith, and seuene tymes schulen be chaungid on thee, til thou knowe, that hiy God is Lord in the rewme of men, and yyueth it to whom euere he wole.
33 Lapoula, pawòl konsènan Nebucadnetsar a te vin akonpli. Li te chase ale lwen de moun, li te kòmanse manje zèb tankou bèf, kò l te tranpe ak lawouze syèl la jiskaske cheve li te vin gran kon plim a yon èg, e zong li kon zong a yon zwazo.
In the same our the word was fillid on Nabugodonosor, and he was cast out fro men, and he eet hey, as an oxe doith, and his bodi was colouryd with the deew of heuene, til hise heeris wexiden at the licnesse of eglis, and hise nailis as the nailis of briddis.
34 Men lè tan sa a te fini, mwen menm, Nebucadnetsar, mwen te leve zye m vè syèl la, bon konprann mwen te retounen sou mwen. Mwen te beni Pi Wo a, mwen te louwe e mwen te bay omaj a Sila ki vivan jis pou tout tan an; Paske règn Li se yon règn ki dire pou tout tan epi wayòm Li de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.
Therfor after the ende of daies, Y, Nabugodonosor, reiside myn iyen to heuene, and my wit was yoldun to me; and Y blesside the hiyeste, and Y heriede, and glorifiede hym that lyueth with outen ende; for whi his power is euerlastynge power, and his rewme is in generacioun and in to generacioun.
35 Tout sila ki rete sou latè yo pa konte pou anyen, men Li fè selon volonte Li nan lame syèl la e pami sila ki rete sou latè yo; epi nanpwen moun ki ka evite men Li, ni mande Li: “Kisa Ou fè la a?”
And alle the dwelleris of erthe ben arettid in to noyt at hym; for bi his wille he doith, bothe in the vertues of heuene, and in the dwelleris of erthe, and noon is, that ayenstondith his hond, and seith to hym, Whi didist thou so?
36 Nan lè sa a bon konprann mwen te retounen sou mwen. Epi majeste ak mayifisans mwen te restore a mwen menm pou glwa a wayòm mwen an. Konsa, konseye mwen yo ak prens mwen yo te kòmanse chache twouve mwen. Mwen te retabli nan wayòm mwen, e pi bon pi gwo pwisans te vin ogmante sou mwen.
In that tyme my wit turnede ayen to me, and Y cam fulli to the onour and fairnesse of my rewme, and my figure turnede ayen to me; and my beste men and my magistratis souyten me, and Y was set in my rewme, and my greet doyng was encreessid grettir to me.
37 Alò, mwen menm Nebucadnetsar, mwen fè lwanj, egzaltasyon ak lonè a Wa syèl la, paske tout zèv Li yo vrè, chemen Li yo jis e Li kapab imilye sila ki mache ak ògèy yo.
Now therfor Y Nabugodonosor herie, and magnefie, and glorifie the kyng of heuene; for alle hise werkis ben trewe, and alle his weies ben domes; and he may make meke hem that goon in pride.
