Daniel 9
1 Khaldian tiah kawk ih Babylon prae ukkung ah kaom, Media acaeng, Ahasuerus capa, Darius siangpahrang ah ohhaih saningto haih,
It was the first year of Darius the Mede, son of Ahasuerus, after he had become king of the Babylonians.
2 anih siangpahrang ah ohhaih saningto haih naah, Jerusalem amrohaih loe saning qui sarihto akra tih, tiah tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah thuih ih Angraeng ih lok to Kai, Daniel mah kaciim cabu rang hoiah ka panoek.
During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures as given to the prophet Jeremiah that the time of seventy years for Jerusalem to lie desolate would soon be fulfilled.
3 To pongah Sithaw khaeah kang qoi moe, buhzahhaih, buri kahni angkhukhaih, maiphu angphuihaih hoiah tahmen hnikhaih lawk ka thuih:
So I turned to the Lord God in prayer. I fasted and wore sackcloth and ashes, and I pleaded with him in prayer to act.
4 Angraeng ka Sithaw khaeah, Aw Angraeng, nang loe lensawk moe, zit kaom Sithaw ah na oh; na lokmaihaih hoi palungnathaih baktiah nang palunghaih tawn kami, na paek ih lok pazui kaminawk nuiah na sak, tiah zae taphonghaih lawk ka thuih;
I prayed to the Lord my God, and confessed, saying, “Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always keep your promises and show your trustworthy love to those who love you and keep your commandments.
5 kaicae loe ka zae o boeh, hmuen ka sak o pazae boeh, kahoih ai hmuen to ka sak o moe, na misa ah ka oh o moeng boeh; na patuk ih lok hoi na lokcaekhaih doeh ka pazui o ai boeh:
But we have sinned, we have done wrong. We have acted wickedly, we have rebelled against you. We have turned away from your commandments and your laws.
6 kaicae ih siangpahrangnawk, ukkung angraengnawk, kaicae ampanawk hoi prae kaminawk boih khaeah, na hmin hoi lokthui na tamna tahmaanawk ih lok doeh ka tahngai o ai boeh.
We have not paid attention to your servants the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings and leaders and forefathers, and to everybody in the country.
7 Aw Angraeng, Nang loe na toeng, toe vaihni kaicae, Judah kaminawk, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk, Israel kaminawk, kangthla ah kaom kaminawk hoi kazoi ah om kaminawk boih mah doeh na nuiah oep om o ai, na koeh ai ih zaehaih to a sak o pongah, na haek boih boeh.
Lord, you always do what is right, but we continue to be ashamed to this very day—we the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, those nearby and those far away, those of every country where you have driven them because of their unfaithfulness to you.
8 Aw Angraeng, na nuiah ka zae o boeh pongah, kaicae loe kaimacae ih siangpahrangnawk, ukkung angraengnawk, ampanawk hoi nawnto azathaih mah khuk khoep boeh.
Public shame is ours Lord, and on our kings and princes and forefathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 Na misa ah ka oh o langlacadoeh, kaicae Angraeng Sithaw loe amlunghaih hoi palungnathaih hoiah koi;
Yet you, the Lord our God, are compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against you.
10 kaicae loe a paek ih daan pazui hanah, a tamna tahmaanawk patohhaih rang hoiah thuih ih kaimacae Angraeng Sithaw ih lok to ka tahngai o ai.
We have not obeyed what you, the Lord God, have told us. We have not followed your law that you gave us through your servants the prophets.
11 Ue, Israel kaminawk boih mah na paek ih daan to aek o, lam amkhraeng o moe, na lok to tahngai o ai; to tiah na nuiah zaehaih a sak o boeh pongah, Sithaw ih tamna Mosi ih kaalok thungah tarik ih tangoenghaih hoi lokcaekhaihnawk to kaicae nuiah kraih boeh.
The whole of Israel has broken your law and turned away from you, not listening to what you had to say. That's why the condemnation that comes from our broken promise has been poured out on us—because of our sin, as made clear in the Law of Moses, the servant of the Lord.
12 Anih mah kaicae hoi kaicae lokcaek kaminawk khaeah thuih ih amrohaih lok to koepsak moe, kaicae nuiah kalen parai amrohaih to phaksak boeh; Jerusalem nuiah sak ih baktiah vannawk boih tlim ah sah vai ai vop.
You have carried out what you warned us about, against us and against our rulers—such a terrible punishment brought upon Jerusalem, the worst that has ever happened in the whole world.
13 Mosi ih kaalok pongah tarik ih baktih toengah, hae amrohaih boih kaicae nuiah phak; toe zaehaih to caehtaak moe, na loktang lok ka panoek o thai hanah, kaicae Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah lawk ka thui o ai.
Just as the Law of Moses said, all this punishment has fallen on us, but we still have not asked you, the Lord our God, to be favorable to us, turning away from our sins and paying attention to your truth.
14 To pongah Angraeng mah khet moe, kaicae nuiah amrohaih to phaksak boeh; kaicae Angraeng Sithaw loe hmuen boih nuiah katoengah toksak; toe kaicae mah a lok ka tahngai pae o ai toengtoeng vop.
You were ready to punish us, and you were right to do everything you have done, for we didn't listen to you.
15 Vaihiah, Aw Angraeng kaicae ih Sithaw, thacakhaih ban hoiah nangmah ih kaminawk Izip prae thung hoiah na zaeh moe, vaihni ni khoek to na hmin panoek poe hanah Sahkung; kaicae loe ka zae o boeh, sethaih ka sak o moeng boeh.
You, our Lord God, by your great power brought us out of Egypt, making a name for yourself that lasts even until now. But we have sinned, we have done wicked things.
16 Aw Angraeng, na toenghaih baktih toengah, ciimcai nangmah ih mae, nangmah ih Jerusalem nuiah palung na phuihaih to dipsak let raeh, tiah tahmenhaih kang hnik; kaicae zaehaihnawk hoi kam panawk sakpazaehaihnawk pongah, kaicae taengah kaom kaminawk mah Jerusalem hoi nangmah ih kaminawk to kasae thuih o boeh.
So Lord, because you are so good, please turn away from your anger and fury against Jerusalem, your holy mountain. Because of our sins and those of our forefathers, Jerusalem and your people are mocked by all our neighbors.
17 To pongah vaihiah, Aw kaicae ih Sithaw, na tamna lawkthuihaih hoi tahmenhaih hae tahngai paeh; angqai krangah kaom, na hmuenciim nuiah Angraeng hanah na mikhmai to pansak rae ah.
Now, our Lord, please listen to the prayer and pleading of your servant, and for your own sake look kindly on your abandoned sanctuary.
18 Aw ka Sithaw, na naa to patueng ah loe, tahngai ah; na mik padai ah loe, kaicae amrohaih, na hmin hoi kawk ih vangpui doeh khen rae ah; kaicae loe toenghaih pong na ai ah, kalen parai na palungnathaih na tawnh pongah ni nang khaeah tahmenhaih kang hnik o.
Please listen carefully and open your eyes and see the terrible state we are in, and the city that bears your name. We're not making these requests to you for this because of our goodness, but because of your great mercy.
19 Aw Angraeng, tahngai ah! Aw Angraeng, tahmen ah! Aw Angraeng, tahngai ah loe sah ah! Aw ka Sithaw, nangmah han ih ni, akrasak hmah; na vangpui hoi nangmah ih kaminawk loe na hmin hoiah kawk ih kami ah ni oh o, tiah lawkthuih.
Lord, please listen! Lord, please forgive! Please pay attention and do something! For your own sake, my God, don't delay, for your city and your people are identified by your name.”
20 To tiah lawk ka thuih naah, kaimah ih zaehaih hoi kaimah ih kami ah kaom Israelnawk ih zaehaih doeh ka taphong, ka Sithaw ih ciimcai mae hanah tahmen ka hnikhaih lok to ka Angraeng Sithaw khaeah ka tathlang.
I continued speaking, praying and confessing my sins and those of my people Israel, pleading before the Lord my God on behalf of Jerusalem, his holy mountain.
21 Ue, lawk ka thuih li naah, hnuksakhaih paek tangsuek naah ka hnuk ih kami, Gabriel to karangah azawk moe, duembang angbawnhaih tue ah kai khaeah phak.
While I was still praying, Gabriel, whom I'd seen previously when I'd had the vision, came flying rapidly towards me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 Anih mah thuih ih lok loe, Aw Daniel, nang han sakthaihaih hoi panoekthaihaih kang paek hanah vaihi kang zoh boeh.
He gave me the following explanation, saying, “Daniel, I've come to give you insight and understanding.
23 Lawk na thuih tangsuek naah lok pathimhaih oh boeh, to lok to thuih hanah kang zoh; nang loe palung koi kaom kami ah na oh; to pongah paek ih hmuen to poek ah loe, hnuksakhaih to panoek ah.
As soon as you started praying, the answer was given, and I have come to explain it to you because God loves you very much. So please listen to the explanation and understand the meaning of the vision.
24 Sithaw mah nangmah ih kaminawk, kaciim vangpuinawk zaehaih pongah raihaih phaksak hanah, zarh qui sarihto atue to khaeh boeh; to pacoengah kasae hmuen to anghmaa ueloe, toenghaih mah dungzan khoek to uk tih; tahmaanawk mah thuih ih lok hoi hnuksakhaih to catui daenghaih om tih; to naah Kaciim Koek ahmuen to situi bawhhaih om tih.
Seventy weeks has been allotted to your people and your holy city to deal with the rebellion, to put an end to sin, to forgive wrongdoing, to bring in everlasting goodness, to confirm the vision and the prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
25 To pongah Jerusalem to pakhraih moe, sak let hanah, lokpaekhaih ni hoi kamtong, Angraeng Messiah karoek to zarh sarih, zarh qui tarukto pacoeng, zarh hnetto akra tih, tito pakuem ah loe panoek ah: raihaih atue thungah lampui hoi tapang to sak let ah om tih.
You need to know and understand that from the time the command is given to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah, seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks will elapse. It will be built with streets and defenses, in spite of the difficult times.
26 Zarh qui tarukto hoi zarh hnetto pacoengah loe, Angmah han ih na ai ah, Messiah to hum tih; to pacoengah angzo kaminawk ukkung angraeng mah vangpui hoi hmuenciim to phrae tih; boeng naah loe tui uemhaih to pha tih, boeng khoek to misatukhaih hoi amrohaih to om tih.
After sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be put to death, and will be brought to nothing. A ruler will come to power whose army will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will come like a flood. War and devastation will continue until that period of time is completed.
27 Zarhto thung paroeai kaminawk hoi lokmaihaih to caksak tih; zarh a um phak naah loe angbawnhaih hoi hmuenpaekhaih to boengsak tih, panuet thok hmuen sahkung mah to ah amrohaih to omsak tih, amrohaih omsakkung anghma ai karoek to atue khaehhaih anih nuiah krah tih, tiah ang naa.
He will confirm the agreement with many people for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifices and offerings. The idolatry that causes devastation will be supported until the end when the same fate is poured out on the one who devastates.”
