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 Cyrus, king of Persia, was a revelation made to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar; and the revelation is true, and relateth to long warfare. And he gave heed to the revelation, 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 three full 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 ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, till three whole weeks were ended.
4 Sou vennkatriyèm jou premye mwa a nan lanne a, mwen te kanpe bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river Hiddekel,
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 behold, a certain man, clothed in linen garments, and his loins girded with gold of 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 chrysolite, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like the appearance of polished brass, and the sound of his words was as the shout 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.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision and the men who were with me saw not the vision; but a great terror fell upon 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.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision; and there remained no strength in me, and my color was changed upon me into a deadly paleness, and I retained no strength.
9 Lè m' tande vwa li menm, mwen tonbe fas atè, mwen pèdi konesans.
And I heard the sound of his words; and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell senseless upon my face, and 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.
And behold, a hand touched me, and lifted me upon my knees and 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.
And he said to me, Daniel, much-beloved man, give heed to the words which I speak to thee, and stand upright! for to thee am I now sent. And when he said this to me, I stood up 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 said he to me, Fear not, Daniel! for from the first day that thou didst set thy mind to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come on account of thy 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 stood up against me one and twenty days; but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left there victorious 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 am come to teach thee what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision yet relates to distant days.
15 Lè li di m' sa, m' bese je m' gade atè san m' pa di anyen.
And when he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
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 behold, one having the appearance of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spake, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my pain came upon me, and I have no strength left.
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.
And how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? And now there remaineth no strength in me, neither is breath left in me.
18 Zanj ki te gen fòm moun lan manyen m' ankò yo dezyèm fwa. Mwen santi m' refè.
Then one having the appearance of a man again touched me 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 said, Fear not, much-beloved man! peace be to thee! be strong, yea, be strong! And while he was speaking with me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast 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, Knowest thou wherefore I have come to thee? And now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia, and I will go forth, and behold, the prince of Greece will come.
21 Pa gen lòt moun pou vin ede m' pase Michèl, zanj chèf pèp Izrayèl la.
But I will show thee what is written in the book of truth. No one putteth forth his strength with me against them but Michael, your prince.
