Daniel 7
1 In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter.
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.
2 Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea:
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.
3 And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another.
Epi kat gran bèt t ap monte soti nan lanmè a, youn pa t sanble lòt.
4 The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him.
“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.
5 And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh.
“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!’
6 After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him.
“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.
7 After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes.
“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.
8 As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.
“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.
9 I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire.
“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.
10 A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened.
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.
11 Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire.
“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.
12 As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season.
Pou tout lòt bèt yo, dominasyon yo te vin retire, men yo te resevwa yon pwolongasyon lavi pandan yon sezon ak pandan yon tan.
13 As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him.
“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.
14 And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed.
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.
15 I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide.
“Pou mwen menm, Daniel, lespri mwen te twouble anndan mwen, e vizyon nan panse m yo te kontinye ban m gwo laperèz.
16 Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things.
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.
17 These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth,
‘Gwo bèt sila yo, ki se kat yo, se kat wa ki va leve soti nan tè a.
18 And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer.
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.’
19 After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete.
“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;
20 Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes.
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.
21 I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them,
Mwen te kontinye gade; kòn sa a t ap fè lagè ak fidèl yo, e te enpoze li sou yo.
22 Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome.
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.
23 Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces.
“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.
24 And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings,
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.
25 And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time.
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.
26 But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende.
“‘Men jijman an va etabli. Dominasyon li an va rache, anile e detwi jis pou tout tan.
27 And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him.
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.’
28 Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.
“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.”
