< Daniel 9 >
1 E higa mokwongo mar Darius wuod Ahasuerus (ma ja-Media), mane en ruodh Babulon duto,
In the first year of Darius, son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who hath been made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
2 an Daniel nafwenyo tiend Ndiko, kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye mane oyudo osemiyo Janabi Jeremia, ni kethruok mar Jerusalem biro tieko higni piero abiriyo.
in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, have understood by books the number of the years, (in that a word of Jehovah hath been unto Jeremiah the prophet, ) concerning the fulfilling of the wastes of Jerusalem — seventy years;
3 Omiyo ne adhi ir Ruoth Nyasaye ka alamo, ka aywakne kendo ka ariyo kech, kendo ne arwako law kuyo ka abukora gi buru.
and I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek [by] prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
4 Ne alamo Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha kendo ne ahulo richona kama: “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye maduongʼ kendo malich, Nyasaye marito singruokne mar hera gi ji duto mohere kendo morito chikene,
And I pray to Jehovah my God, and confess, and say: 'I beseech Thee, O Lord God, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and the kindness to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands;
5 wasetimo richo kendo wasetimo marach. Wasetimo timbe maricho kendo wasengʼanyo; waselokore waweyo yoreni gi chikeni.
we have sinned, and done perversely, and done wickedly, and rebelled, to turn aside from Thy commands, and from Thy judgments:
6 Ok wasechiko itwa ne jotichni ma jonabi mane owuoyo gi ruodhi mawa gi yawuot ruodhi kod wuonewa, gi jopinywa duto, e nyingi.
and we have not hearkened unto Thy servants, the prophets, who have spoken in Thy name unto our kings, our heads, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 “Ruoth Nyasaye, to wan jo-Juda, joma odak Jerusalem kod jo-Israel, modak machiegni kod modak maboyo, e pinje duto misekeyowae wichkuot osemakowa kawuononi, nikech wasebedoni joma ok jo-ratiro.
'To Thee, O Lord, [is] the righteousness, and to us the shame of face, as [at] this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, in all the lands whither Thou hast driven them, in their trespass that they have trespassed against Thee.
8 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, wan kaachiel gi ruodhi mawa, gi yawuot ruodhi, kod wuonewa, wichkuot omakowa nikech waseketho e nyimi.
'O Lord, to us [is] the shame of face, to our kings, to our heads, and to our fathers, in that we have sinned against Thee.
9 Ruoth Nyasachwa kecho ji kendo oweyo ne ji richogi, kata obedo ni wasengʼanyone kamano;
'To the Lord our God [are] the mercies and the forgivenesses, for we have rebelled against Him,
10 ok waseluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, kata rito chike mane omiyowa kokalo kuom jotichne ma jonabi.
and have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in His laws, that He hath set before us by the hand of His servants the prophets;
11 Jo-Israel duto oseweyo luwo chikeni, kendo giseluwo yoregi giwegi, mi gidagi luori. “Kuom mano kwongʼ kod ngʼado bura mane osingi mondiki e kitap Chik Musa, ma jatich Nyasaye, oseol kuomwa, nikech wasetimo richo e nyimi.
and all Israel have transgressed Thy law, to turn aside so as not to hearken to Thy voice; and poured on us is the execration, and the oath, that is written in the law of Moses, servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.
12 Masira maduongʼ mane iwacho ni inikel kuomwa kaachiel gi jatendwa isetimo. E bwo polo onge gima osetim machalo gi gima osetimore ne Jerusalem, e piny duto.
'And He confirmeth His words that He hath spoken against us, and against our judges who have judged us, to bring in upon us great evil, in that it hath not been done under the whole heavens as it hath been done in Jerusalem,
13 Masichegi duto osebiro kuomwa, mana kaka ondiki e Chik Musa, to kata kamano pok wakwayo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa ngʼwono, ka walokore waweyo richowa kendo waketo chunywa mar luwo adiera mare.
as it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil hath come upon us, and we have not appeased the face of Jehovah our God to turn back from our iniquities, and to act wisely in Thy truth.
14 Jehova Nyasaye ok osedeko mar kelo masira kuomwa, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nikare e gik moko duto motimo; kata obedo ni wasedagi winje kamano.
And Jehovah doth watch for the evil, and bringeth it upon us, for righteous [is] Jehovah our God concerning all His works that He hath done, and we have not hearkened to His voice.
15 “Yaye Ruoth Nyasachwa, in mane igolo jogi e piny Misri gi teko mari, kendo imiyo nyingi obedo gi duongʼ mosiko nyaka kawuono, wasetimo richo e nyimi kendo wasetimo marach.
And now, O Lord our God, who hast brought forth Thy people from the land of Egypt by a strong hand, and dost make for Thee a name as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, kaluwore gi gik moko duto makare mitimo, yie iwe bedo gi mirima kod gero gi Jerusalem dalani maduongʼ kendo godi maler. Richowa gi timbe mamono mag kwerewa osemiyo Jerusalem kod jogi obedo joma ijaro gi jogo modak mokiewo kodwa.
'O Lord, according to all Thy righteous acts, let turn back, I pray Thee, Thine anger and Thy fury from Thy city Jerusalem, Thy holy mount, for by our sins, and by the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people [are] for a reproach to all our neighbours;
17 “Koro Nyasachwa, winj lamo gi kwayo mar jatichni. Nikech nyingi, yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, yie itim ngʼwono mondo kari maler mar lemo ochak oger.
and now, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, and cause Thy face to shine on Thy sanctuary that [is] desolate, for the Lord's sake.
18 Chik iti, yaye Nyasaye, mondo iwinj kwayowa, kendo ineye kaka dala maduongʼ mochungʼ kar nyingi okethore. Ok waketni kwayogi nikech wan joma kare, to watimo kamano nikech kechni maduongʼ.
'Incline, O my God, Thine ear, and hear, open Thine eyes and see our desolations, and the city on which Thy name is called; for not for our righteous acts are we causing our supplications to fall before Thee, but for Thy mercies that [are] many.
19 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie iwinjwa! Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie iwenwa! Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, winjwa kendo ikonywa ma ok ideko, nikech dalani maduongʼ kod jogi miluongo gi nyingi.”
O lord, hear, O Lord, forgive; O Lord, attend and do; do not delay, for Thine own sake, O my God, for Thy name is called on Thy city, and on Thy people.'
20 Kane pod awuoyo kendo alamo, ka ahulo richona kaachiel gi richo mag joga ma jo-Israel, kendo kane pod aketo kwayona ne Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha kuom gode maler, kendo
And while I am speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and causing my supplication to fall before Jehovah my God, for the holy mount of my God,
21 kane pod anie lamo, Gabriel, ngʼat mane oyudo aseneno e fweny motelo, nobiro ira ka huyo matek kar seche mitime misengni mag odhiambo.
yea, while I am speaking in prayer, then that one Gabriel, whom I had seen in vision at the commencement, being caused to fly swiftly, is coming unto me at the time of the evening present.
22 Ne owuoyo koda kowachona niya, “Daniel, koro asebiro mondo amiyi ngʼeyo tiend fweny.
And he giveth understanding, and speaketh with me, and saith, 'O Daniel, now I have come forth to cause thee to consider understanding wisely;
23 E sa ma ne ichakoe lemo, ema nodwoki, omiyo asebiro mondo anyisigo, nikech in ngʼat moher ahinya. Kuom mano, koro chik iti mondo iwinj tiend fwenyno:
at the commencement of thy supplications hath the word come forth, and I have come to declare [it], for thou [art] greatly desired, and understand thou concerning the matter, and consider concerning the appearance.
24 “Higni mia angʼwen gi piero ochiko en kar romb kinde moseketi ne jou kendo ne dalau maler mondo otiek ketho mondo one ni richo orumo mondo opwodh ji kuom richo. Osechiw thuolono mondo tim makare mochwere obi, mondo oum fweny kod koro, kendo mondo owir Kama Ler Moloyo.
'Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.
25 “Kuom mano bed kingʼeyo kendo kiwinjo tiend wachni kama: Chakre chiengʼ mane ogolie chik mondo ochak oger Jerusalem, nyaka chop biro mar Jal Mowir, ma Ruoth, biro bedo kinde maromo higni mia angʼwen gi piero ochiko kod higni mia angʼwen gi piero adek gangʼwen. Ibiro gere kendo, ka en gi yorene mag dala kod buche matut molwore, to nogere e kinde mag chandruok.
And thou dost know, and dost consider wisely, from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem till Messiah the Leader [is] seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the broad place hath been built again, and the rampart, even in the distress of the times.
26 Bangʼ higni mia angʼwen gi piero adek gangʼwen Jal Mowir noneg kayiem nono. Jatelo moro nobi manoketh dala maduongʼ gi kama ler mar lemo. Giko nobi mamuomore ka ohula maduongʼ kendo lweny kod masiche madongo dongo nobedie mana kaka Nyasaye nosechano.
And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath come doth destroy the people; and its end [is] with a flood, and till the end [is] war, determined [are] desolations.
27 Obiro timo winjruok gi ji mangʼeny kuom kinde maromo higni abiriyo. To e nus mar higni abiriyogo, enomi ji we timo misengini kod kelo chiwo. Gima kwero makelo kethruok nochungʼ e osuch hekalu, nyaka ngʼat mane okete kanyo chop e giko mane Nyasaye oketone.”
And he hath strengthened a covenant with many — one week, and [in] the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.'
