Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the rule of Belshazzar the king, a vision was seen by me, Daniel, after the one I saw at first.
Mwen menm Danyèl, mwen fè yon lòt vizyon ankò apre premye vizyon sa a. Lè sa a, Bèlchaza t'ap mache sou twazan depi li te wa.
2 And I saw in the vision; and when I saw it, I was in the strong town Shushan, which is in the country of Elam; and in the vision I was by the water-door of the Ulai.
Nan vizyon an, mwen wè mwen te lavil Souz, kapital la ki nan pwovens Elam lan. Mwen te kanpe bò larivyè Oulayi.
3 And lifting up my eyes, I saw, there before the stream, a male sheep with two horns: and the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, the higher one coming up last.
Mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè yon belye mouton ki te kanpe bò larivyè a. Li te gen de kòn byen long ki pa t' pouse menm lè. Sa ki te pouse apre a te pi long pase premye a.
4 I saw the sheep pushing to the west and to the north and to the south; and no beasts were able to keep their place before him, and no one was able to get people out of his power; but he did whatever his pleasure was and made himself great.
Mwen wè belye mouton an t'ap bay kout kòn nan direksyon solèy kouche, nan direksyon nò ak nan direksyon sid. Pat gen yon bèt ki te ka kenbe tèt avè l'. Ni pa t' gen pesonn pou wete yo anba pat li. Li t'ap fè sa l' pito. Chak lè, li t'ap vin pi awogan.
5 And while I was giving thought to this, I saw a he-goat coming from the west over the face of all the earth without touching the earth: and the he-goat had a great horn between his eyes.
Antan mwen t'ap chache konprann sa sa te vle di, mwen wè yon bouk kabrit k'ap kouri vin soti bò solèy kouche. Li t'ap kouri sitèlman vit, pye l' pa t' touche tè. Li te gen yon sèl gwo kòn nan mitan de je l' yo.
6 And he came to the two-horned sheep which I saw before the stream, rushing at him in the heat of his power.
Li mache sou belye mouton mwen te wè kanpe bò larivyè a ak de kòn lan. Li vare sou li ak tout fòs.
7 And I saw him come right up to the sheep, and he was moved with wrath against him, attacking the sheep so that his two horns were broken; and the sheep had not strength to keep his place before him, but was pushed down on the earth and crushed under his feet: and there was no one to get the sheep out of his power.
Mwen wè l' atake belye mouton an. Li move sou li, li frape l', li kase de kòn li yo. Belye mouton an pa t' gen fòs pou kenbe tèt ak li. Bouk kabrit la jete l' atè, li pilonnen l' anba pye l'. Pat gen pesonn pou wete belye a anba pat bouk kabrit la.
8 And the he-goat became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and in its place came up four other horns turned to the four winds of heaven.
Bouk kabrit la konmanse grandi, li vin awogan anpil. Lè li fin chita pouvwa li byen chita, gwo kòn li an kase. Kat lòt gwo kòn pouse nan plas premye a, yo chak t'ap pwente nan direksyon kat gwo van yo.
9 And out of one of them came another horn, a little one, which became very great, stretching to the south and to the east and to the beautiful land.
Yon ti kòn pouse sou yonn nan kòn sa yo. Li grandi, li mache fè lagè ak moun peyi nan sid la, moun peyi bò solèy leve a ak moun peyi ki pi bèl pase tout lòt yo.
10 And it became great, even as high as the army of heaven, pulling down some of the army, even of the stars, to the earth and crushing them under its feet.
Li grandi toujou, jouk li rive atake lame ki nan syèl la, zetwal yo menm. Li jete kèk ladan yo sou latè, li pilonnen yo anba pye l'.
11 It made itself great, even as great as the lord of the army; and by it the regular burned offering was taken away, and the place overturned and the holy place made waste.
Li grandi, li menm rive atake chèf lame ki nan syèl la, li fè yo sispann ofri bèt pou touye pou li. Li fè kraze Tanp yo te mete apa pou li a.
12 ... against the regular burned offering; and ... crushed down to the earth, and it did its pleasure and things went well for it.
Li fè sòlda lame li yo al moute kan yo kote yo te konn ofri bèt pou touye pou Bondye a. Ti kòn lan voye bon relijyon Bondye a jete atè, li te rive nan tou sa l'ap fè.
13 Then there came to my ears the voice of a holy one talking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was talking, How long will the vision be while the regular burned offering is taken away, and the unclean thing causing fear is put up, and the holy place crushed under foot?
Apre sa, mwen tande yon zanj pale ak yon lòt zanj, li di li: -Kilè sa yo bay nan vizyon an va rive? Kilè y'a sispann fè gwo peche sa a nan plas ofrann bèt ki pou fèt chak jou a? Kilè y'a sispann pilonnen lame ki nan syèl la ak tanp Bondye a anba pye yo?
14 And he said to him, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be made clean.
Lòt zanj lan reponn: -Se pou nou tann mil sansenkant (1150) jou ankò pase anvan yo rekonmanse ak ofrann bèt pou Bondye yo. Se lè sa a Bondye va rebati tanp li a ankò.
15 And it came about that when I, Daniel, had seen this vision, I had a desire for the sense of it to be unfolded; and I saw one before me in the form of a man.
Mwen t'ap chache konprann sa vizyon an te vle di, lè mwen rete konsa mwen wè yon fòm ki te sanble ak yon moun kanpe devan m'.
16 And the voice of a man came to my ears between the sides of the Ulai, crying out and saying, Gabriel, make the vision clear to this man.
Mwen tande yon vwa moun ki soti lòt bò larivyè Oulayi a ki t'ap di: -Gabriyèl! Esplike nonm sa a vizyon an non!
17 So he came and took his place near where I was; and when he came, I was full of fear and went down on my face: but he said to me, Let it be clear to you, O son of man; for the vision has to do with the time of the end.
Gabriyèl pwoche bò kote m' te ye a. Mwen te sitèlman pè mwen tonbe fas atè. Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Konprann byen: Vizyon an fè ou konnen ki jan sa pral fini sou latè.
18 Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been.
Pandan li t'ap pale konsa, mwen pèdi konesans, mwen tonbe fas atè. Men, li ban m' men, li fè m' kanpe sou pye m' ankò.
19 And he said, See, I will make clear to you what is to come in the later time of the wrath: for it has to do with the fixed time of the end.
Epi li di: -M'ap fè ou wè sa k'ap rive lè kòlè Bondye a va fin pase. Wi, lè pou tout bagay fini an pral rive.
20 The sheep which you saw with two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Belye mouton ou te wè ak de gwo kòn nan tèt li a, se de wa k'ap gouvènen de peyi, peyi Medi ak peyi Pès.
21 And the he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn between his eyes is the first king.
Bouk kabrit la menm se wa peyi Lagrès la. Gwo kòn ou te wè nan mitan je l' yo se te premye wa a.
22 And as for that which was broken, in place of which four came up, four kingdoms will come up from his nation, but not with his power.
Kat kòn ou wè ki te pouse apre premye kòn lan te kase a, sa vle di gen kat moun ki pral separe peyi a. Yo chak pral gouvènen bò pa yo. Men, peyi a p'ap janm gen menm fòs la ankò.
23 And in the later years of their kingdom, when their evil doings have become complete, there will come up a king full of pride and expert in dark sayings.
Lè ti wa sa yo va rive nan bout yo, lè y'a fin fè kont peche yo, gen yon wa k'ap parèt, l'ap san respè pou Bondye, l'ap woule tout moun.
24 And his power will be great, and he will be purposing strange things. And all will go well for him and he will do his pleasure; and he will send destruction on the strong ones.
L'ap grandi, l'ap vin fò. Men se pa fòs pa l' menm k'ap sou li. L'ap fè anpil dega. L'a reyisi nan tou sa l'ap fè. L'a kraze anpil gwo chèf ansanm ak anpil moun nan pèp Bondye a.
25 And his designs will be turned against the holy people, causing deceit to do well in his hand; in his heart he will make himself great, and send destruction on numbers who are living unconscious of their danger; and he will put himself up against the prince of princes; but he will be broken, though not by men's hands.
L'ap rize anpil. L'a reyisi chak fwa l'ap twonpe moun. L'ap fè lwanj tèt li. San bay avètisman, l'ap detwi anpil moun ki t'ap viv ak kè poze. L'ap atake ata pi gwo chèf la, chèf tout chèf yo. Men li menm, rive yon lè l'ap disparèt, san se pa ankenn moun ki fè l' anyen.
26 And the vision of evenings and mornings which has been talked of is true: and keep the vision secret; for it has to do with the far-off future.
Vizyon ou te fè pou maten ak aswè yo gen pou rive vre jan yo te esplike ou li a. Men, pa di anyen sou sa, paske l'ap pran yon bon ti tan anvan li rive vre.
27 And I, Daniel, was ill for some days; then I got up and did the king's business: and I was full of wonder at the vision, but no one was able to give the sense of it.
Lè sa a, mwen santi mwen t'ap faya. Mwen pase kèk jou malad. Apre sa, mwen leve, m' al fè travay wa a te ban m' fè a. Men, vizyon an t'ap boulvèse lespri m' toujou, m' pa t' ka konprann li.
