Danieli 9
1 Mʼchaka choyamba cha Dariyo mwana wa Ahasiwero (wochokera kwa Amedi), amene anakhala mfumu ya ku Babuloni,
Darius was the son of Ahasuerus, a descendant of the Medes. It was Ahasuerus who had been made king over the realm of the Babylonians.
2 ine Danieli ndinazindikira powerenga mawu a Yehova opatsidwa kwa mneneri Yeremiya, kuti Yerusalemu adzakhala bwinja kwa zaka 70.
Now in the first year of Darius' reign I, Daniel, was studying the books containing Yahweh's word, the word that had come to Jeremiah the prophet. I observed that there would be seventy years until Jerusalem's abandonment would end.
3 Choncho ndinatembenukira kwa Ambuye Mulungu ndipo ndinamudandaulira ndi kupempha posala kudya, ndi kuvala chiguduli ndi kudzola phulusa.
I turned my face to the Lord God, to seek him with prayer and requests, with fasting, wearing sackcloth, and sitting in 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,
I prayed to Yahweh my God, and I made confession of our sins. I said, “Please, Lord—you are the great and awesome God—you are the one who keeps the covenant and is faithful to love those who love you and keep your commandments.
5 tachimwa ndipo tachita zolakwa ndi zoyipa. Takuwukirani posiya malangizo ndi malamulo anu.
We have sinned and have done what is wrong. We have acted wickedly and we have rebelled, turning aside from your commands and decrees.
6 Sitinamvere aneneri atumiki anu, amene anayankhula mʼdzina lanu kwa mafumu athu, kwa akalonga athu, makolo athu, ndi kwa anthu onse a mʼdziko.
We have not listened to your servants the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings, our leaders, our ancestors, 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.
To you, Lord, belongs righteousness. To us today, however, belongs shame on our faces—for the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem, and to all Israel. This includes those who are near and those who are far away in all the lands where you scattered them. This is because of the great treachery that we committed against you.
8 Inu Yehova, ife ndi mafumu athu, akalonga athu ndi makolo athu tili ndi manyazi chifukwa takuchimwirani.
To us, Yahweh, belongs shame on our faces—to our kings, to our leaders, and to our ancestors—because we have sinned against you.
9 Ambuye Mulungu wathu ndi wachifundo ndi wokhululuka, ngakhale kuti tamuwukira:
To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
10 Ife sitinamvere Yehova Mulungu wathu kapena kusunga malamulo ake amene anatipatsa kudzera mwa aneneri atumiki ake.
We have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God by walking in his laws he gave us through 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.
All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, refusing to obey your voice. The curse and oath that are written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, for 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.
Yahweh has confirmed the words that he spoke against us and against our rulers over us, by bringing on us a great disaster. For under the whole of heaven there has not been done anything that could compare with what has been done to 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 disaster has come on us, yet we have not begged for mercy from Yahweh our God by turning away from our iniquities and paying attention to your truth.
14 Choncho Yehova anakonza kuti atigwetsere tsoka limeneli, ndipo wachitadi popeza Yehova Mulungu wathu ndi wolungama mu chilichonse amachita; chikhalirecho ife sitinamumvere.
Therefore Yahweh has kept the disaster ready and has brought it on us, for Yahweh our God is righteous in all the deeds he does, yet we have not obeyed 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.
Now, Lord our God, you brought out your people from the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and you have made a famous name for yourself, as in this present day. But still we sinned; we have done wicked things.
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.
Lord, because of all your righteous deeds, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. Because of our sins, and because of the iniquities of our ancestors, Jerusalem and your people have become an object of scorn to all those around 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, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy; for your sake, Lord, make your face shine on your sanctuary that is desolate.
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.
My God, open your ears and listen; open your eyes and see. We have been devastated; look at the city that is called by your name. We do not beg for your help because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy.
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.”
Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, pay attention and take action! For your own sake, do not delay, my God, for your city and your people are called by your name.”
20 Ndikuyankhula ndi kupemphera, kuvomereza machimo anga ndi machimo a anthu anga Aisraeli ndi kupempherera phiri lake loyera kwa Yehova Mulungu wanga,
While I was speaking—praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my requests before Yahweh my God on behalf of God's holy mountain—
21 Gabrieli, munthu uja amene ndinamuona mʼmasomphenya poyambirira, anabwera kwa ine mowuluka. Iyi inali nthawi ya nsembe ya madzulo.
while I was praying, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, flew down to me in rapid flight, at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 Anandilangiza kuti, “Danieli ndabwera tsopano kuti ndikupatse nzeru kuti uzitha kumvetsa zinthu.
He gave me understanding and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come out to give you insight 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.
When you began pleading for mercy, the order was given and I have come to tell you the answer, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider this word and understand the revelation.
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 sevens are decreed for your people and your holy city to end the guilt and put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring everlasting righteousness, to carry out the vision and the prophecy, and to consecrate the most holy place.
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 and understand that from the issuing of the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of the anointed one (who will be a leader), there will be seven sevens and sixty-two sevens. Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and a moat, despite the times of distress.
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.
After the sixty-two sevens, the anointed one will be destroyed and will have nothing. The army of a coming ruler will destroy the city and the holy place. Its end will come with a flood, and there will be war even to the end. Desolations have been decreed.
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.”
He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. In the middle of the seven he will put an end to the sacrifice and the offering. On the wing of abominations will come someone who makes desolate. A full end and destruction are decreed to be poured out on the one who has made the desolation.”
