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, to me Daniel, after that which had 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 the vision—and it came to pass, in my seeing, that I was at Shushan the capital, which is in the province of 'Elam; —and I saw in the vision, as though I was by the river 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.
And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there was a ram standing before the river, and he had two horns; and the horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one 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 butting westward, and northward, and southward; so that all the beasts could not stand before him, and no one was there to deliver out of his hand: and 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 looking attentively, behold, there came a shaggy, he-goat from the west over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a sightly large 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 as far as the ram that had two horns, that I had seen standing before the river, and ran at him with his furious 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 coming close unto the ram, and he became bitterly enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand forward before him: and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and there was no one to 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.
And the shaggy he-goat became very great: but when he was grown strong, the great horn was broken; and there came up four slightly large ones in its place 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 them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious 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 became great, even up to the host of the heavens; and it cast down to the ground some of the host and of the stars, and trod them under foot.
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, it magnified itself even up to the prince of the host, and by it the continual sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his 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 the host is given up together with the continual sacrifice, by reason of transgression: and it casteth down the truth to the ground, and it doth [this], and is prosperous.
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 did I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a holy one said unto the unknown one who was speaking, For how long is the vision concerning the continual sacrifice, and the wasting transgression, to give up 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, Until two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings, when the sanctuary shall be justified.
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, saw the vision, and sought for understanding, that, behold, there was standing opposite to me something like 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 the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ulai, and it called, and said, Gabriel, cause this one to understand this appearance.
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 close to where I stood: and when he came, I was terrified, and I fell upon my face; but he said unto me, Mark it well, O son of man; because for the time of the end is 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 fell down in amazement on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright where I had been standing.
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 known unto thee what is to be at the last end of the indignation; for it is for the appointed time of the end.
20 Belye ke ou te wè ak de kòn yo reprezante wa a Mèdes ak Perse yo.
The ram that thou hast seen, him with the two horns, [signifieth] 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 shaggy he-goat is the king of Javan; and the great horn which 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.
But that it was broken, and that four sprung up in its stead, [signifieth that] four kingdoms will spring up out of the nation, but not with 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 have filled their measure of guilt, there will arise a king of an impudent face, and understanding deep schemes.
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 will be mighty, but not by his own power; and he will destroy wonderfully, and will prosper while he doth [this]; and he will destroy very many and the people of the saints.
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 intelligence, and because he prospereth, is craftiness in his hand; and in his heart will he magnify himself, and in peace will he destroy many: he will also stand up against the Prince of princes; but without a human hand will he be broken.
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 appearance of the evening and the morning which was spoken of is true: but do thou keep the vision closed up;
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 grieved, and was sick several days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was depressed because of the appearance; but no one observed it.
