Danyèl 7
1 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.
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
2 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.
Daniel spoke and said, “I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke out on the great sea.
3 Epi kat gran bèt t ap monte soti nan lanmè a, youn pa t sanble lòt.
Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
4 “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.
“The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet as a man. A man’s heart was given to it.
5 “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!’
“Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this to it: ‘Arise! Devour much flesh!’
6 “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.
“After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 “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.
“After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there was a fourth animal, awesome, powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. It had ten horns.
8 “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.
“I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogantly.
9 “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.
“I watched until thrones were placed, and one who was Ancient of Days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.
10 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.
A fiery stream issued and came out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set. The books were opened.
11 “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.
“I watched at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
12 Pou tout lòt bèt yo, dominasyon yo te vin retire, men yo te resevwa yon pwolongasyon lavi pandan yon sezon ak pandan yon tan.
As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 “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.
“I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him.
14 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.
Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.
15 “Pou mwen menm, Daniel, lespri mwen te twouble anndan mwen, e vizyon nan panse m yo te kontinye ban m gwo laperèz.
“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 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.
I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. “So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17 ‘Gwo bèt sila yo, ki se kat yo, se kat wa ki va leve soti nan tè a.
‘These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who will arise out of the earth.
18 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.’
But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’
19 “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;
“Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
20 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.
and concerning the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
21 Mwen te kontinye gade; kòn sa a t ap fè lagè ak fidèl yo, e te enpoze li sou yo.
I saw, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them,
22 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.
until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 “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.
“So he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it down and break it in pieces.
24 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.
As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he will put down three kings.
25 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.
He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
26 “‘Men jijman an va etabli. Dominasyon li an va rache, anile e detwi jis pou tout tan.
“‘But the judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
27 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.’
The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will serve and obey him.’
28 “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.”
“Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”
