Danyèl 5
1 Belschatsar, wa a te fè yon gran fèt pou yon milye nan gwo chèf li yo, e li t ap bwè diven nan prezans a milye a gwo chèf yo.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Lè Belschatsar te goute diven an, li te pase lòd pou pote veso fèt an lò ak ajan ke Nebucadnetsar, papa li, te retire nan tanp ki te Jérusalem yo, pou wa a ak prens li yo, madanm li yo ak ti mennaj li yo ta kapab bwè nan yo.
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded that the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem be brought to him, that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from them.
3 Konsa, yo te mennen veso fèt an lò ki te sòti nan tanp lan, lakay Bondye ki te Jérusalem nan. Epi wa a ak prens li yo, madanm li yo ak ti mennaj li yo te bwè nan yo.
Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of God’s house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.
4 Yo te bwè diven an e te louwe dye a lò, ak ajan, bwonz, fè, bwa ak wòch yo.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Sibitman, men a yon moun te vin parèt. Li te kòmanse ekri anfas chandelye sou randisaj miray palè a Wa a, e wa a te wè pati nan men ki t ap ekri a.
In the same hour, the fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote near the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace. The king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Konsa, figi a wa a te vin blanchi, refleksyon li yo te fè l gen gwo laperèz; jwen ren li te vin pèdi fòs e jenou li te kòmanse souke jiskaske youn t ap frape kont lòt.
Then the king’s face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.
7 Wa a te rele byen fò pou yo mennen mèt zetwal yo, Kaldeyen ak divinò yo. Wa a te pale e te di a mesye saj Babylone yo: “Nenpòt moun ki ka li enskripsyon sa a e eksplike entèpretasyon li, li va abiye an mov, resevwa yon kolye an lò nan kou li, e vin jwenn pozisyon kon twazyèm chèf nan peyi a.”
The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and shows me its interpretation shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
8 Alò, tout moun nan mesye saj a wa yo te antre, men yo pa t ka li enskripsyon an ni fè wa a konnen sa li vle di.
Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and couldn’t make known to the king the interpretation.
9 Epi wa Belschatsar te plen ak gwo laperèz, figi li te vin pi pal e prens li yo te vin twouble.
Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
10 Rèn nan te antre nan kay bankè a akoz pawòl a wa a ak prens li yo. Rèn nan te pale e te di: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan! Pa kite refleksyon ou yo fè ou pè, ni figi ou vin pal.
The queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house. The queen spoke and said, “O king, live forever; don’t let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.
11 Gen yon nonm nan wayòm ou a, nan li menm twouve lespri a dye sen yo; epi nan jou a papa ou yo, limyè, bon konprann, ak sajès tankou sajès a dye yo te twouve nan li. Epi Wa Nebucadnetsar, papa ou, Wa a, te chwazi li chèf sou majisyen yo, mèt zetwal yo, Kaldeyen ak divinò yo.
There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king, Nebuchadnezzar, your father—yes, the king, your father—made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers,
12 Se te akoz yon lespri ekstrawòdinè, konesans, bon konprann, entèpretasyon a rèv yo, eksplikasyon a fraz ki nwa ak kapasite pou rezoud pwoblèm difisil. Tout sa te twouve nan Daniel sila a, ke wa a te rele Beltschatsar. Kounye a, kite yo rele Daniel e li va fè deklarasyon a entèpretasyon an.”
because an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.”
13 Konsa, Daniel te mennen devan wa a. Wa a te pale e te di a Daniel: “Èske ou se menm Daniel ki te youn nan egzile a Juda yo, ke papa mwen, wa a, te mennen soti Juda a?
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
14 Alò, mwen te tande de ou menm, ke lespri a dye yo nan ou, ke konesans, bon konprann ak sajès ki depase tout moun twouve nan ou.
I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you.
15 Epi koulye a, mesye saj yo, mèt zetwal yo te mennen devan m pou yo ta ka li enskripsyon sa a e fè entèpretasyon an vin konnen a mwen menm, men yo pa t ka deklare entèpretasyon a mesaj la.
Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.
16 Men mwen te tande konsènan ou menm, ke ou kapab bay entèpretasyon, e rezoud pwoblèm difisil. Alò, si ou kapab li enskripsyon an, e fè mwen konnen entèpretasyon an, ou va abiye an mov, pote yon kolye an lò nan kou ou e ou va gen otorite kon twazyèm chèf nan wayòm nan.”
But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
17 Daniel te reponn e te di devan wa a: “Kenbe kado ou yo pou ou menm, oswa bay rekonpans ou yo a yon lòt moun. Sepandan, mwen va li enskripsyon an pou wa a, e fè l konnen lentèpretasyon an.
Then Daniel answered before the king, “Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 “O wa, Bondye Pi Wo a te bay souverènte, grandè ak glwa a Nebucadnetsar, papa ou.
“To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
19 Akoz grandè ke Li te bay li a, tout pèp yo, nasyon ak lang yo te gen lakrent li, e te tranble devan l. Nenpòt moun li te pito, li te touye l, e nenpòt moun li te pito, li te lese l viv. Epi nenpòt moun li te pito, li te leve l e nenpòt moun li te pito, li te imilye l.
Because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he wanted to, and he kept alive whom he wanted to. He raised up whom he wanted to, and he put down whom he wanted to.
20 Men lè kè l te vin egzalte wo, lespri li te vin tèlman ògeye, ke li te aji ak awogans, li te depoze de twòn wayal li a, e glwa li a te rache soti nan men l.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.
21 Anplis, li te chase lwen de lòm, kè l te vin transfòme kon kè a bèt, e li te vin rete ak bourik mawon. Yo te fè li manje zèb kon bèf, e kò l te tranpe ak lawouze syèl la jiskaske li te vin rekonèt Bondye Pi Wo a se chèf sou wayòm a lèzòm, e ke li mete chèf sou li sila ke Li pito.
He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
22 “Malgre sa, ou menm, fis li a, Belschatsar pa t imilye kè ou, malgre ou te konnen tout sa,
“You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
23 men ou te egzalte tèt ou kont Senyè syèl la. Konsa, yo te mennen veso lakay Li yo devan ou e ou menm ak prens ou yo, madanm ou yo, ak ti mennaj ou yo t ap bwè diven nan yo. Ou te bay lwanj a dye a ajan, lò, bwonz, fè, bwa, ak wòch yo, ki pa wè, tande, ni konprann. Men Bondye, nan men a Sila souf lavi ou ye a, pou Sila tout chemen ou yo ye a, ou pa t bay Li glwa.
but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.
24 Konsa, men an te voye devan l, e sa se enskripsyon ki te byen ekri a.
Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 “Alò, sa se enskripsyon ki te byen ekri a: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
“This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
26 “Sa se entèpretasyon a mesaj la: ‘MENE’—Bondye te konte wayòm ou an e te mete fen a li.
“This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
27 ‘TEKEL’—ou te peze sou balans e ou te manke.
TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 ‘PERES’—wayòm ou an vin divize, e li va bay a moun Mèd ak Pès yo.”
PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 Konsa, Belschatsar te pase lòd pou yo te abiye Daniel an mov, e mete yon kolye an lò nan kou li. Li te pibliye yon dekrè selon li ke Daniel te gen otorite kon twazyèm chèf nan wayòm nan.
Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Menm nwit sa a, Belschatsar, wa Kaldeyen an te touye.
In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
31 Konsa Darius, Mèd la, te resevwa wayòm nan ak anviwon laj swasann-de lane.
Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
