Danyèl 10
1 Siris t'ap mache sou twazan depi l' te wa nan peyi Pès lè Bondye fè Danyèl, ki te rele Beltechaza tou, konnen yon mesaj. Se te bon koze sou gwo batay ki gen pou fèt la. Se nan yon vizyon yo te fè l' konprann mesaj la.
In the third year of Koresh king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true: a great war. And he understood the word, and had understanding of the vision.
2 Lè sa a, mwen menm Danyèl, mwen pase twa senmenn nan gwo lapenn.
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks.
3 Mwen pa t' manje ankenn bon ti manje, ni ankenn vyann. Mwen pa t' mete yon gout diven nan bouch moun. Mwen pa t' pase lwil santi bon sou mwen pandan twa senmenn sa yo.
I had no pleasing food, neither meat nor wine came into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 Sou vennkatriyèm jou premye mwa a nan lanne a, mwen te kanpe bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.
In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is the Tigris,
5 Mwen leve je m', mwen wè yon moun ki te gen rad swa sou li ak yon sentiwon fèt ak bon lò mare nan ren l'.
I lifted up my eyes and looked, and look, a man clothed in linen, around his waist a belt made of pure gold from Uphaz.
6 Kò l' te klere tankou yon wòch poli. Figi l' te tankou zèklè. Je l' yo te klere tankou de moso chabon dife. Bra l' ak janm li yo te tankou kwiv yo te poli. Lè l' pale menm, se tankou si se te yon foul moun ki t'ap pale ansanm.
His body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.
7 Se mwen menm sèlman ki te wè vizyon an. Lòt moun ki te avè m' yo pa t' wè anyen. Men yo te pè, yo te kouri al kache.
I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great trembling fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 Mwen menm, mwen te rete la pou kont mwen. Mwen t'ap gade gwo vizyon an. Mwen santi m' pa t' gen fòs menm, figi m' te dekonpoze. Pa gen moun ki ta ka rekonèt mwen.
So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
9 Lè m' tande vwa li menm, mwen tonbe fas atè, mwen pèdi konesans.
Yet I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 Apre sa, mwen santi yon men manyen m', li fè m' leve sou pla men m' ak sou jenou m'. M' t'ap tranble toujou.
Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
11 Zanj lan di m' konsa: -Danyèl, ou se yon moun Bondye renmen anpil. Kanpe non! Louvri zòrèy ou pou ou tande sa mwen pral di ou. Se Bondye ki voye m' kote ou. Lè li fin di m' sa, mwen leve kanpe, men m' t'ap tranble toujou.
He said to me, "Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 Li di m' konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè, Danyèl. Bondye te tande lapriyè ou la depi premye jou ou te pran desizyon soumèt ou devan Bondye ou pou ou te ka rive gen bon konprann. Se poutèt lapriyè ou la mwen vin ba ou repons Bondye a.
Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.
13 Zanj chèf peyi Pès la te kenbe tèt avè m' pandan venteyen jou. Apre sa, Michèl, yonn nan chèf zanj Bondye yo, vin pote m' sekou paske mwen te pou kont mwen nan peyi Pès la.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was left there with the kings of Persia.
14 Mwen vin fè ou konprann sa ki pral rive pèp ou a nan jou k'ap vini yo. Vizyon an fè ou wè sa ki pral rive jou sa yo.
Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision refers to future days."
15 Lè li di m' sa, m' bese je m' gade atè san m' pa di anyen.
And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground, and could not speak.
16 Lè sa a, zanj ki te gen fòm yon moun lan lonje men l', li manyen po bouch mwen. Mwen louvri bouch mwen pale, mwen di zanj ki te kanpe devan m' lan: -Mèt, vizyon an fè m' pè, m' pèdi tout fòs mwen, kè m' sere!
And look, something like a man's hand touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, "My lord, it is because of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have no strength.
17 Se moun k'ap sèvi ou mwen ye, mèt. Ki jan mwen ka pale ak ou? M' pa gen fòs ankò, m' pèdi souf mwen.
For how can this servant of my lord talk with my lord? As for me, no strength remains, and I am breathless."
18 Zanj ki te gen fòm moun lan manyen m' ankò yo dezyèm fwa. Mwen santi m' refè.
Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again and strengthened me.
19 Epi li di m': -Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou se yon moun Bondye renmen anpil. Pa kite anyen fatige lespri ou, ni fè ou pèdi kouraj ou! Lè li di m' sa, mwen santi mwen vin gen plis fòs. Mwen di li: -Mèt, ou fè m' vin gen fòs. Di m' sa ou gen pou di m' lan non!
And he said, "Greatly loved man, do not be afraid, peace be to you; be strong, be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."
20 Lè sa a, li di m': -Ou konnen poukisa mwen vin bò kote ou la? Se pou m' te ka fè ou konnen sa ki te ekri nan liv verite a. Koulye a, mwen gen pou m' al goumen ak zanj chèf peyi Pès la. Apre sa, zanj chèf peyi Lagrès la va parèt.
Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, look, the prince of Greece shall come.
21 Pa gen lòt moun pou vin ede m' pase Michèl, zanj chèf pèp Izrayèl la.
But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the Book of Truth. And there is no one who contends with me against them except Michael, your prince."
