Daniel 9
1 In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes, a Mede by descent, who was made ruler over the kingdom of the Chaldeans —
Na mobu ya liboso ya Dariusi, mwana mobali ya Kizerisesi, moko kati na bakitani ya bato ya Medi, oyo akomaki mokonzi ya mokili ya bato ya Babiloni;
2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the sacred books, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.
na mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi na ye, ngai, Daniele, nasosolaki, na nzela ya mikanda, kolanda liloba oyo Yawe apesaki na mosakoli Jeremi, ete kobebisama ya engumba Yelusalemi esengeli kosala mibu tuku sambo.
3 So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
Boye, nabalolaki elongi na ngai epai na Nkolo Nzambe mpo na kosambela mpe kobondela Ye, na kokila bilei, na kolata basaki mpe na komipakola putulu.
4 And I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed, “O, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of loving devotion to those who love Him and keep His commandments,
Nasambelaki Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpe natubelaki: « Nkolo, Nzambe monene mpe Nzambe ya nguya, Yo oyo obatelaka boyokani na Yo ya bolingo, elongo na bato nyonso oyo balingaka Yo mpe batosaka mibeko na Yo;
5 we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances.
solo, tosalaki masumu mpe mabe na miso na Yo, totambolaki lokola bato mabe mpe batomboki, topesaki mibeko mpe mitindo na Yo mokongo.
6 We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, and fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Toyokelaki te basali na Yo, basakoli, oyo balobaki na Kombo na Yo epai ya bakonzi na biso, bakambi na biso, bakoko na biso mpe epai ya bato nyonso ya mokili.
7 To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far, in all the countries to which You have driven us because of our unfaithfulness to You.
Nkolo, ozali sembo; kasi biso, lelo, tolatisami na soni: bato ya Yuda, bavandi ya Yelusalemi mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele, ezala ba-oyo bazali pembeni to ba-oyo bazali mosika, kati na mikili nyonso epai wapi opanzaki biso mpo ete tozangaki boyengebene liboso na Yo!
8 O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.
Yawe, biso, bakonzi na biso, bakambi na biso mpe bakoko na biso, tolatisami na soni mpo ete tosalaki masumu liboso na Yo.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him
Kasi Yo Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, otonda na mawa mpe olimbisaka, atako biso, totombokelaki Yo.
10 and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God to walk in His laws, which He set before us through His servants the prophets.
Totosaki te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, to tobatelaki te mibeko oyo opesaki biso na nzela ya basali na Yo, basakoli.
11 All Israel has transgressed Your law and turned away, refusing to obey Your voice; so the oath and the curse written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, because we have sinned against You.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele babukaki Mobeko na Yo, bapesaki yango mokongo mpe baboyaki kotosa Yo. Mpo na yango, bilakeli mabe mpe bitumbu oyo ekomama kati na Mobeko ya Moyize, mosali na Nzambe, esopanelaki biso, mpo ete tosalaki masumu liboso na Yo.
12 You have carried out the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us a great disaster. For under all of heaven, nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem.
Wana otindeli biso pasi makasi oyo, okokisi penza maloba oyo olobaki mpo na kotelemela biso mpe bakambi na biso; mpe pasi oyo ekweyeli Yelusalemi etikala nanu kosalema te kati na mokili mobimba.
13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquities and giving attention to Your truth.
Kolanda ndenge kaka ekomama kati na Mobeko ya Moyize, pasi yango nyonso ekomeli biso; mpe tobondelaki te Yawe, Nzambe na biso; totikaki te kosala masumu mpe tomipesaki te mpo na kososola bosolo na Yo.
14 Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all He does; yet we have not obeyed His voice.
Yango wana, Yawe, olandeli pasi yango kino okweyiseli biso yango; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, ozali sembo kati na misala na Yo nyonso; kasi biso, totosaki Yo te.
15 Now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and who made for Yourself a name renowned to this day, we have sinned; we have acted wickedly.
Sik’oyo, Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, Yo oyo obimisa bato na Yo na Ejipito na nzela ya loboko na Yo ya nguya mpe Kombo na Yo ekenda sango kino na mokolo ya lelo, tosalaki masumu, tosalaki mabe!
16 O Lord, in keeping with all Your righteous acts, I pray that Your anger and wrath may turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all around us.
Nkolo, nabondeli Yo, kolanda makambo nyonso oyo osalaka mpo na bosembo, kanda mpe kotomboka na Yo ezali kolongwa kati na engumba na Yo, Yelusalemi, ngomba na Yo ya bule! likolo ya masumu na biso mpe ya mabe ya bakoko na biso, Yelusalemi mpe bato na Yo bakomi eloko ya liseki na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bazingeli biso.
17 So now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of Your servant. For Your sake, O Lord, cause Your face to shine upon Your desolate sanctuary.
Sik’oyo, Nzambe na biso, yoka losambo mpe mabondeli na ngai, mosali na Yo! Mpo na lokumu na Yo, Nkolo, tala na miso ya ngolu Esika na Yo ya bule oyo ebebi!
18 Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great compassion.
Nzambe na ngai, defisa ngai litoyi na Yo mpe yoka ngai na bokebi! Fungola miso na Yo mpe mona kobebisama ya bisika na biso mpe ya engumba oyo mpo na bolamu na yango. Ngai, nazali kobelela Kombo na Yo! Ezali te mpo tozali sembo, kasi ezali nde mpo na mawa monene na Yo nde tozali kobondela Yo!
19 O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For Your sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people bear Your name.”
Nkolo, yoka! Nkolo, limbisa! Nkolo, yoka na bokebi! Sala, kowumela te, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo moko, Nzambe na ngai! Pamba te ngai, nazali kobelela Kombo na Yo mpo na bolamu ya engumba mpe ya bato na Yo! »
20 While I was speaking, praying, confessing my sin and that of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God concerning His holy mountain—
Wana nazalaki koloba mpe kosambela, kotubela masumu na ngai mpe ya bato na ngai, Isalaele, mpe kobondela Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpo na bolamu ya ngomba ya bule ya Nzambe na ngai;
21 while I was still praying, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.
wana nazalaki nanu koloba, kati na losambo, Gabrieli, moto oyo namonaki liboso kati na emoniseli, ayaki epai na ngai na lombangu, na tango ya makabo ya pokwa.
22 He instructed me and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel, I have come now to give you insight and understanding.
Apesaki ngai malako, alobaki: « Daniele, nayei sik’oyo mpo na kopesa yo bososoli mpe mayele.
23 At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious. So consider the message and understand the vision:
Tango kaka obandaki kobondela, liloba moko ebimaki; mpe ngai, nayei koyebisa yo yango, pamba te ozali molingami ya Nzambe. Yamba liloba mpe sosola emoniseli:
24 Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city to stop their transgression, to put an end to sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
Eleko moko ya baposo tuku sambo ekatamaki mpo na bato na yo mpe mpo na engumba na yo ya bule, mpo na kosilisa botomboki liboso ya Nzambe mpe kosukisa masumu, mpo na kolimbisa masumu mpe kokokisa bosembo ya libela, mpo na kokangisa emoniseli mpe mosakoli, mpe mpo na kobulisa Mosantu ya basantu.
25 Know and understand this: From the issuance of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of distress.
Yeba mpe sosola makambo oyo: wuta tango lisakoli ya kobongisa mpe ya kotonga lisusu Yelusalemi ebimaki kino koya ya mokonzi, Ye oyo azwaki epakolami, ekosala baposo sambo mpe baposo tuku motoba na mibale. Engumba ekotongama lisusu elongo na nzela mpe bamir na yango oyo batonga makasi.
26 Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing. Then the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed.
Sima na baposo tuku motoba na mibale, bakoboma Ye oyo azwaki epakolami, atako asalaki na ye mabe ata moko te. Bato ya mokambi oyo azali koya bakobebisa engumba mpe Esika ya bule, mpe suka na yango ekoya lokola mpela; bongo kino suka ya bitumba ekoma, kobebisama ekozala mpo ete mokano na yango esili kozwama.
27 And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of the temple will come the abomination that causes desolation, until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him.”
Na poso moko, akosala boyokani moko elenda elongo na bato ebele; kasi na kati-kati ya poso yango, akosukisa bambeka mpe makabo. Likolo ya kobomba makambo ya nkele, mobebisi moko akobima kino tango libebi oyo ekatama mpo na mobebisi ekokokisama. »
