Danyèl 8
1 Nan twazyèm ane règn a Belschatsar a, wa a, yon vizyon te parèt a mwen menm, Daniel, apre sa ki parèt a mwen an premye a.
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
2 Mwen te gade nan vizyon an e pandan mwen t ap gade a, mwen te nan Suse, palè ki nan pwovens Élam nan. Epi mwen te gade nan vizyon an, e mwen te bò Kanal Ulaï la.
And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3 Mwen te leve zye m pou te gade e vwala, yon belye ak de kòn ki te kanpe devan kanal la. Alò, de kòn yo te long, men youn te pi long ke lòt la, e sa ki pi long lan ki te leve an dènye.
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 Mwen te wè belye a ki t ap frape tèt li vè lwès, vè nò e vè sid. Pa t gen bèt ki te ka kanpe devan l, ni pa t gen youn ki te kab delivre soti anba men li. Men li te fè sa li te pito, e te leve tèt li Wo.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
5 Pandan mwen t ap gade a, vwala yon mal kabrit t ap vini soti nan lwès sou fas tout tè a, san touche tè a, e kabrit la te gen yon kòn parèt byen klè antre zye li.
And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 Li te pwoche kote belye ki te gen de kòn nan, belye ke m te wè kanpe devan kanal la, e li te kouri fò sou li ak gwo chalè pwisans li.
And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
7 Mwen te wè li vin bò kote belye a e li te anraje sou li. Epi li te frape belye a. Li te kraze de kòn li yo, e belye a pa t gen fòs pou reziste ak li. Konsa, li te voye l a tè, e te ponpe sou li. Pa t gen moun ki pou delivre belye a devan pouvwa li.
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and stroke the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Epi kabrit mal la te agrandi pouvwa li anpil, anpil. Men depi li te vin pwisan an, pi gwo kòn nan te kase. Epi li te ranplase ak kat kòn, ki parèt byen klè, ki te sòti vè kat van syèl yo.
Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Youn nan kòn yo te parèt yon ti jan piti e li te grandi byen vit vè sid, vè lès e vè peyi laglwa a.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
10 Li te grandi rive jis nan lame syèl la. Li te fè kèk nan lame a ak kèk nan zetwal yo tonbe atè, e li te ponpe sou yo.
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11 Li te menm agrandi pwòp tèt li pou l ta ka egal ak Chèf Tèt lame syèl la. Konsa, li te retire nan men l sakrifis nòmal la, e plas sanktyè Li a te jete anba.
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.
12 Epi akoz transgresyon, lame a va vin livre a kòn nan ansanm ak sakrifis nòmal la. Li te voye verite a jis atè, e sa te fè plezi, e li te pwospere.
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Alò, mwen te tande sila ki sen an ap pale, e yon lòt ki sen te di a sila ki t ap pale a: “Pandan konbyen tan vizyon a sakrifis nòmal la va kontinye, pandan transgresyon an ap ravaje e kite ni sen lye an ansanm ak lame a vin foule anba pye?”
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spoke, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 Li te di mwen: “Pandan de-mil-twa-san swa ak maten. Epi alò, sen lye a va vin pwòp ankò.”
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
15 Lè mwen menm, Daniel, te fè vizyon an, mwen te chache konprann li. Epi gade byen, kanpe devan mwen se te yon bagay ki te sanble ak yon moun.
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 Mwen te tande vwa a yon moun antre de rebò kanal Ulaï la. Li te rele fò e li te di: “Gabriel, fè nonm sa a konprann vizyon an.”
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 Konsa, li te vin toupre kote mwen te kanpe a. Lè l te parèt, mwen te gen gwo laperèz, e mwen te tonbe sou figi m. Men li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, konprann vizyon an; paske vizyon an apatyen a bagay a dènye tan yo.”
So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
18 Alò, pandan li t ap pale avè m, Mwen te tonbe nan yon pwofon somèy, ak figi m atè, men li te touche mwen, e te fè m kanpe dwat.
Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
19 Li te di: “Gade byen, mwen va fè ou konnen sa k ap vin rive nan dènye epòk gwo kòlè a, paske li apatyen a moman ki chwazi pou lafen an.
And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
20 Belye ke ou te wè ak de kòn yo reprezante wa a Mèdes ak Perse yo.
The ram which you saw having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Epi kabrit la se wayòm a Grèce la, e gran kòn antre zye li yo, se premye wa a.
And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Kòn ki te kase a ak kat kòn ki te leve nan plas li a se kat wayòm ki va leve sòti nan nasyon sa a, malgre se pa avèk pouvwa li.
Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23 “Epi nan dènye pati wayòm yo a, lè transgresè yo fin fè tout transgresyon yo, yon wa va leve ki fiwos, e plen devinèt koken.
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 Pouvwa li a va trè pwisan, men se pa ak pwòp pouvwa li. Konsa, li va detwi anpil ak gran pwisans. Li va gen gran siksè, e li va fè sa li pito. Li va detwi mesye pwisan ak moun ki sen yo.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 Atravè manèv li yo, se ak riz k ap avanse nan men li. Konsa, li va leve tèt li wo nan kè l, epi li va detwi anpil moun pandan yo ansekirite. Anplis, li va kanpe kont Prens dè prens yo, men li va vin kraze san èd moun.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 “Vizyon sila a, aswè ak maten ki te pale a, se verite. Men sele vizyon an, pou l pa pale menm, paske li apatyen a anpil jou ki gen pou vini.”
And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut you up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
27 Konsa, mwen menm, Daniel, te vin malad pandan plizyè jou. Lè m te leve ankò, mwen te kontinye fè zafè a wa a. Mwen te etone de vizyon an e mwen pa t gen moun ki te konprann li.
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
