< Danyèl 7 >
1 Nan premye ane Belschatsar, wa Babylone nan, Daniel te fè yon rèv ak vizyon nan panse li, sou kabann li. Epi li te ekri rèv la e te rakonte bagay prensipal yo.
In the firste yeer of Balthasar, kyng of Babiloyne, Danyel siy a sweuene. Forsothe he wroot the visioun of his hed in his bed, and the dreem, and comprehendide in schort word; and he touchide schortli the sentence,
2 Daniel te di: “Mwen t ap gade nan vizyon mwen pandan nwit lan; epi vwala kat van syèl yo t ap boulvèse gwo lanmè a.
and seide, Y siy in my visioun in niyt, and lo! foure wyndis of heuene fouyten in the myddis of the greet see.
3 Epi kat gran bèt t ap monte soti nan lanmè a, youn pa t sanble lòt.
And foure grete beestis dyuerse bitwixe hem silf stieden fro the see.
4 “Premye a te tankou yon lyon e li te gen zèl a èg. Mwen te gade jiskaske plim li yo te vin rache, epi li te leve kite tè a, pou l te fèt vin kanpe sou de pye kon yon moun. Anplis, li te resevwa kè a yon moun.
The firste beeste was as a lionesse, and hadde wyngis of an egle. Y bihelde til the wyngis therof weren pullid awei, and it was takun awei fro erthe, and it stood as a man on the feet, and the herte therof was youun to it.
5 “Konsa, vwala, yon lòt bèt, yon dezyèm, ki te sanble ak yon lous. Li te vin leve nan yon bò e twa zo kòt te nan bouch li nan dan li. Konsa, yo te di a li: ‘Leve, devore anpil vyann!’
And lo! another beeste, lijk a bere in parti, stood, and thre ordris weren in the mouth therof, and thre princes in the teeth therof. And thus thei seiden to it, Rise thou, ete thou ful many fleischis.
6 “Apre sa, mwen te kontinye gade e vwala, yon lòt tankou yon leyopa, ki te gen sou do li kat zèl a yon zwazo. Bèt sa, anplis, te gen kat tèt, e dominasyon te vin bay a li menm.
Aftir these thingis Y bihelde, and lo! anothir beeste as a pard, and it hadde on it silf foure wyngis of a brid, and foure heedis weren in the beeste, and power was youun to it.
7 “Apre sa, mwen te kontinye gade nan vizyon nwit lan e vwala, yon katriyèm bèt, byen tèrib, pwisan e fò depase. Li te gen gwo dan fèt an fè. Li te devore, kraze e foule tout sa ki te rete anba pye li. Li te diferan de tout lòt bèt ki te parèt avan li yo. Li te gen dis kòn.
Aftir these thingis Y bihelde in the visioun of niyt, and lo! the fourthe beeste, ferdful, and wondirful, and ful strong. It hadde grete irun teeth, and it ete, and made lesse, and defoulide with hise feet othere thingis; forsothe it was vnlijk othere beestis, which Y hadde seyn bifore it, and it hadde ten hornes.
8 “Pandan mwen t ap reflechi sou kòn yo, vwala yon lòt kòn, yon ti piti, te vin leve pami yo, e twa nan premye kòn yo te rache pa rasin yo. Epi vwala, kòn sila a te gen zye tankou zye a moun, e yon bouch ki te eksprime anpil bagay ak gwo awogans.
Y bihelde the hornes, and lo! an other litil horn cam forth of the myddis of tho, and thre of the firste hornes weren drawun out fro the face therof; and lo! iyen as iyen of a man weren in this horn, and a mouth spekynge grete thingis.
9 “Mwen te kontinye gade jiskaske twòn yo te vin plase. Epi youn ki te Ansyen de Jou Yo te chita. Abiman Li te tankou lanèj blan, e cheve nan tèt Li te tankou lenn san tach. Twòn Li te briyan akoz flanm yo, e wou li yo te yon dife ki t ap brile.
Y bihelde, til that trones weren set, and the elde of daies sat; his cloth was whijt as snow, and the heeris of his heed weren as cleene wolle, his trone was as flawmes of fier, hise wheelis weren fier kyndlid.
10 Yon rivyè dife t ap koule pou l vin parèt devan L; Milye dè milye t ap okipe L. Di-mil fwa di-mil te kanpe devan L. Jijman an te etabli. Liv yo te vin ouvri.
A flood of fier and rennynge faste yede out fro his face, a thousynde thousynde mynistriden to hym, and ten sithis a thousynde sithis an hundrid thousynde stoden niy hym; the dom sat, and bookis weren opened.
11 “Alò, mwen te kontinye gade, akoz son a pawòl awogan ke kòn nan t ap pale yo. Mwen te kontinye gade jiskaske bèt la te vin touye, kò l te detwi, e li te vin bay a dife ki t ap brile a.
Y bihelde for the vois of grete wordis whiche thilke horn spak; and Y siy that the beeste was slayn, and his bodi was perischid, and was youun to be brent in fier.
12 Pou tout lòt bèt yo, dominasyon yo te vin retire, men yo te resevwa yon pwolongasyon lavi pandan yon sezon ak pandan yon tan.
And Y siy that the power of othere beestis was takun awei, and the tymes of lijf weren ordeyned to hem, til to tyme and tyme.
13 “Mwen te kontinye gade nan vizyon nwit lan, epi vwala, la te vini ak nwaj syèl yo, yon moun tankou yon Fis a Lòm t ap vini; epi Li te vin parèt devan Ansyen A Jou Yo e te fè l vin prè.
Therfor Y bihelde in the visyoun of niyt, and lo! as a sone of man cam with the cloudis of heuene; and he cam fulli til to the elde of daies, and in the siyt of hym thei offriden hym.
14 A li menm, Li te bay dominasyon, glwa a, ak yon wayòm, pou tout pèp, nasyon ak lang yo ta ka sèvi Li. Dominasyon Li an se yon dominasyon k ap dire jis pou tout tan, ki p ap janm fini. Epi wayòm Li an se yon wayòm ki p ap detwi.
And he yaf to hym power, and onour, and rewme, and alle the puplis, lynagis, and langagis schulen serue hym; his power is euerlastynge power, that schal not be takun awei, and his rewme, that schal not be corrupt.
15 “Pou mwen menm, Daniel, lespri mwen te twouble anndan mwen, e vizyon nan panse m yo te kontinye ban m gwo laperèz.
My spirit hadde orrour, ether hidousnesse; Y, Danyel, was aferd in these thingis, and the siytis of myn heed disturbliden me.
16 Mwen te pwoche youn nan sila ki te kanpe akote yo, e te kòmanse mande li kisa tout sa te vle di. “Konsa, li te eksplike mwen e te fè m konnen byen dirèk entèpretasyon a tout bagay sa yo.
Y neiyede to oon of the stonderis niy, and Y axide of hym the treuthe of alle these thingis. And he seide to me the interpretyng of wordis, and he tauyte me.
17 ‘Gwo bèt sila yo, ki se kat yo, se kat wa ki va leve soti nan tè a.
These foure grete beestis ben foure rewmes, that schulen rise of erthe.
18 Men sen yo a Sila Ki Pi Wo a, va resevwa wayòm nan, e va posede wayòm nan jis pou tout tan, pou tout laj ki gen pou vini yo.’
Forsothe hooli men schulen take the rewme of hiyeste God, and thei schulen holde the rewme, til in to the world, and `til in to the world of worldis.
19 “Epi mwen te dezire konnen kisa Katriyèm bèt la te sinyifi, ki pa t menm jan ak lòt bèt yo, te vrèman tèrib, ak dan li an fè, e grif li an bwonz, ki te devore, kraze e foule rès la anba pye li;
Aftir these thingis Y wolde lerne diligentli of the fourthe beeste, that was greetli vnlijk fro alle, and was ful ferdful, the teeth and nailis therof weren of irun; it eet, and made lesse, and defoulide with hise feet othere thingis.
20 epi kisa dis kòn sou tèt li yo ak lòt kòn ki te vin leve a te sinyifi, e devan sila twa nan yo te tonbe a, menm kòn ki te gen zye ak bouch ki te pi djanam nan aparans ke parèy li yo.
And of ten hornes whiche it hadde in the heed, and of the tother horn, that cam forth, bifore which thre hornes fellen doun, and of that horn that hadde iyen, and a mouth spekynge grete thingis, and was grettere than othere;
21 Mwen te kontinye gade; kòn sa a t ap fè lagè ak fidèl yo, e te enpoze li sou yo.
I bihelde, and lo! thilke horn made batel ayens hooli men, and hadde maistrie of hem,
22 Jiskaske Ansyen A Jou Yo te vini, epi jijman an te fèt nan favè a sen a Sila Ki Pi Wo a e lè a te rive pou sen yo te pran posesyon a wayòm nan.
til the elde of daies cam, and hiy God yaf doom to hooli men; and lo! tyme cam, and hooli men goten rewme.
23 “Konsa, li te di: ‘Katriyèm bèt la va yon katriyèm wayòm sou latè, ki va apa de tout lòt wayòm yo. Li va devore tout latè, mache sou li e kraze li an mòso.
And he seide thus, The fourthe beeste schal be the fourthe rewme in erthe, that schal be more than alle rewmes, and it schal deuoure al erthe, and it schal defoule, and make lesse that erthe.
24 E pou dis kòn yo, sòti nan wayòm sa a, dis wa va leve. Konsa, yon lòt va leve apre yo, li p ap menm jan ak lòt ki te avan yo, e li va kraze twa wa yo.
Forsothe ten hornes schulen be ten kyngis of that rewme; and another kyng schal rise after hem, and he schal be miytiere than the formere, and he schal make low thre kyngis.
25 Li va pale kont Pi Wo a, li va epwize sen a Sila Ki Pi Wo a, epi li va gen entansyon pou fè chanjman nan tan ak lwa yo. Yo va vin livre nan men li pandan yon tan ak tan yo, ak yon mwatye tan.
And he schal speke wordis ayens the hiy God, and he schal defoule the seyntis of the hiyeste; and he schal gesse, that he mai chaunge tymes and lawis; and thei schulen be youun in to his hondis, til to tyme, and times, and the half of tyme.
26 “‘Men jijman an va etabli. Dominasyon li an va rache, anile e detwi jis pou tout tan.
And doom schal sitte, that the power be takun awei, and be al to-brokun, and perische til in to the ende.
27 Epi wayòm a dominasyon an, ak grandè a tout wayòm yo anba tout syèl la va vin livre a pèp a sen a Pi Wo yo. Wayòm Li an, yon wayòm k ap dire jis pou tout tan e tout dominasyon yo va sèvi e obeyi Li.’
Sotheli that the rewme, and power, and the greetnesse of rewme, which is vndur ech heuene, be youun to the puple of the seintis of the hiyeste, whos rewme is euerlastynge rewme, and alle kingis schulen serue, and obeie to hym.
28 “Se konsa bagay la te fini. Pou mwen menm, Daniel, refleksyon mwen yo te twouble m anpil anpil, e figi m te vin pal; men mwen te kenbe bagay la nan kè m.”
Hidur to is the ende of the word. Y, Danyel, was disturblid myche in my thouytis, and my face was chaungid in me; forsothe Y kepte the word in myn herte.
