Danieli 9
1 Mʼchaka choyamba cha Dariyo mwana wa Ahasiwero (wochokera kwa Amedi), amene anakhala mfumu ya ku Babuloni,
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
2 ine Danieli ndinazindikira powerenga mawu a Yehova opatsidwa kwa mneneri Yeremiya, kuti Yerusalemu adzakhala bwinja kwa zaka 70.
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
3 Choncho ndinatembenukira kwa Ambuye Mulungu ndipo ndinamudandaulira ndi kupempha posala kudya, ndi kuvala chiguduli ndi kudzola phulusa.
And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
4 Ndinapemphera kwa Yehova Mulungu wanga ndi kuvomereza kuti tinachimwa: Ndinati, “Inu Ambuye, Mulungu wamkulu ndi woopsa, amene mumasunga pangano lanu la chikondi kwa onse amene amakukondani ndi kumvera malamulo anu,
And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
5 tachimwa ndipo tachita zolakwa ndi zoyipa. Takuwukirani posiya malangizo ndi malamulo anu.
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
6 Sitinamvere aneneri atumiki anu, amene anayankhula mʼdzina lanu kwa mafumu athu, kwa akalonga athu, makolo athu, ndi kwa anthu onse a mʼdziko.
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 “Ambuye ndinu olungama, koma lero tili ndi manyazi, ife anthu a ku Yuda, a ku Yerusalemu ndi Israeli yense, apafupi ndi akutali omwe, ku mayiko onse kumene munatipirikitsira chifukwa cha kusakhulupirika kwathu.
O Lord, righteousness [belongeth] unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, [that are] near, and [that are] far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
8 Inu Yehova, ife ndi mafumu athu, akalonga athu ndi makolo athu tili ndi manyazi chifukwa takuchimwirani.
O Lord, to us [belongeth] confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
9 Ambuye Mulungu wathu ndi wachifundo ndi wokhululuka, ngakhale kuti tamuwukira:
To the Lord our God [belong] mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
10 Ife sitinamvere Yehova Mulungu wathu kapena kusunga malamulo ake amene anatipatsa kudzera mwa aneneri atumiki ake.
Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Aisraeli onse anachimwira lamulo lanu motero anapatuka, nakana kukumverani. “Choncho matemberero ndi olumbira amene alembedwa mʼmalamulo a Mose, mtumiki wa Mulungu, atigwera chifukwa takuchimwirani.
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that [is] written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
12 Inu mwakwaniritsa mawu amene munayankhula otitsutsa ife ndi otsutsa otilamulira potibweretsera tsoka lalikulu. Pa dziko lapansi sipanachitikenso zinthu ngati zimene zaonekera Yerusalemu.
And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
13 Monga kunalembedwa mʼMalamulo a Mose, tsoka lililonse latifikira chikhalirecho sitinapemphe Yehova Mulungu wathu kuti atikomere mtima. Sitinasiye machimo athu, ndipo sitinasamale choonadi chanu.
As [it is] written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
14 Choncho Yehova anakonza kuti atigwetsere tsoka limeneli, ndipo wachitadi popeza Yehova Mulungu wathu ndi wolungama mu chilichonse amachita; chikhalirecho ife sitinamumvere.
Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God [is] righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
15 “Inu Ambuye Mulungu wathu, munatulutsa anthu anu ku Igupto ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu ndipo dzina lanu ndi lotchuka mpaka lero. Ife tachimwa, tachita zolakwa.
And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 Inu Ambuye, molingana ndi zochita zanu zolungama, tikukupemphani kuti muchotse mkwiyo ndi ukali wanu pa Yerusalemu mzinda wanu, phiri lanu loyera. Machimo athu ndi mphulupulu za makolo athu zachititsa kuti onse otizungulira atonze Yerusalemu ndi anthu anu.
O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people [are become] a reproach to all [that are] about us.
17 “Tsopano Mulungu wathu, imvani mapemphero ndi zopempha za mtumiki wanu. Kuti anthu onse akudziweni kuti ndinu Ambuye, komerani mtima malo anu opatulika amene asanduka bwinja.
Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
18 Tcherani khutu, Inu Mulungu, ndipo imvani; tsekulani maso anu ndipo onani mabwinja athu ndi mzinda umene umadziwika ndi dzina lanu. Sitikupempha chifukwa chakuti ndife olungama, koma chifukwa cha kukula kwa chifundo chanu.
O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
19 Inu Ambuye imvani mawu athu! Ambuye khululukani! Ambuye timvereni, ndipo muchitepo kanthu! Kuti anthu adziwe kuti Inu ndinu Mulungu wanga musachedwe chifukwa mzinda wanu ndi anthu anu amadziwika ndi dzina lanu.”
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
20 Ndikuyankhula ndi kupemphera, kuvomereza machimo anga ndi machimo a anthu anga Aisraeli ndi kupempherera phiri lake loyera kwa Yehova Mulungu wanga,
And whiles I [was] speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
21 Gabrieli, munthu uja amene ndinamuona mʼmasomphenya poyambirira, anabwera kwa ine mowuluka. Iyi inali nthawi ya nsembe ya madzulo.
Yea, whiles I [was] speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
22 Anandilangiza kuti, “Danieli ndabwera tsopano kuti ndikupatse nzeru kuti uzitha kumvetsa zinthu.
And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
23 Utangoyamba kupemphera, Mulungu anayankha. Tsono ine ndabwera kudzakuwuza yankholo, popeza ndiwe wokondedwa kwambiri. Choncho mvetsetsa pamene ndikufotokoza za zinthu zimene unaziona mʼmasomphenya.
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew [thee; ] for thou [art] greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
24 “Zaka 490 zinayikidwa kuti anthu a mtundu wako ndi mzinda wanu woyera aleke zoyipa, asiye tchimo. Iwo adzapereka dipo kupepesera zolakwa zawo. Zikadzatero anthu adzaonetsa moyo wachilungamo nthawi zonse. Izi zidzatsimikiza zimene unaziona mʼmasomphenya zija ndi zimene ananenera aneneri. Malo opatulika adzakhazikitsidwa.
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 “Tsono udziwe ndipo uzindikire izi kuti kuyambira pamene lamulo linaperekedwa kuti Yerusalemu akonzedwenso mpaka pamene mfumu Yodzozedwa idzafike padzapita zaka 49. Pa zaka 434 mzinda wa Yerusalemu udzamangidwanso, ndipo mabwalo ndi ngalande zake zidzatetezedwa. Koma nthawiyi idzakhala ya masautso.
Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 Patatha zaka 434, Wodzozedwayo adzaphedwa ndipo sadzakhala ndi aliyense. Anthu a wolamulira amene adzabwere adzawononga mzinda ndi Nyumba ya Mulungu. Kutha kwake kudzafika ngati chigumula. Komabe nkhondo idzapitirira mpaka chiwonongeko chimene Mulungu ananeneratu chitachitika.
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 Adzachita pangano lolimba ndi anthu ambiri kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri. Koma pakatinʼpakati pa sabata limodzilo iye adzaletsa kupereka nsembe ndi chopereka. Chonyansa chosakaza chija adzachiyika mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo chidzakhalapobe mpaka wochita zimenezi atalangidwa ndi chiwonongeko chimene Mulungu ananeneratu.”
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
