< 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 —
Tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Dariosa, zanak’ i Ahasoerosy, avy amin’ ny taranaky ny Mediana, izay nampanjakaina tamin’ ny fanjakan’ ny Kaldeana,
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.
tamin’ ny taona voalodany nanjakany, izaho Daniela nahalala tamin’ ny boky ny isan’ ny taona nampahafantarin’ ny tenin’ i Jehovah an’ i Jeremia mpaminany, izay hahataperan’ ny fito-polo taona amin’ ny hahafoanan’ i Jerosalema.
3 So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
Ary nampanatrehiko an’ Andriamanitra Tompo ny tavako hitady izay hivavahana sy hifonana amin’ ny fifadian-kanina ny lamba fisaonana ary ny lavenona.
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,
Ary nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro aho ka nitsotra hoe: Indrisy! Tompo ô, Andriamanitra lehibe sy mahatahotra, mitandrina ny fanekena sy ny famindram-po ho amin’ izay tia Azy sy mitandrina ny didiny,
5 we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances.
efa nanota izahay sady nanao meloka ary nanao ratsy sy niodina, eny, efa niala tamin’ ny didinao sy ny fitsipikao izahay,
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.
ary tsy nohenoinay ny mpaminany mpanomponao, izay niteny tamin’ ny anaranao tamin’ ny mpanjakanay sy ny mpanapaka anay sy ny razanay ary ny vahoaka rehetra.
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.
Anao ny fahamarinana, Tompo ô, fa anay kosa ny fangaihaizana, tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao, dia an’ ny Joda sy ny mponina any Jerosalema ary ny Isiraely rehetra, na ny akaiky na ny lavitra, dia any amin’ ny tany rehetra izay efa nandroahanao azy noho ny fahadisoany izay nandisoany taminao;
8 O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.
eny, anay ny fangaihaizana, Tompo ô, dia an’ ny mpanjakanay sy ny mpanapaka anay ary ny razanay, satria efa nanota taminao izahay.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him
An’ ny Tompo Andriamanitray kosa ny famindram-po sy ny famelan-keloka, satria efa niodina taminy izahay
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.
ka tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray, mba handeha araka ny lalàny izay nasainy napetraky ny mpaminany mpanompony teo anoloanay.
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.
Eny, ny Isiraely rehetra efa nandika ny lalànao ka niala, fa tsy nihaino ny feonao, ka dia naidina taminay ny ozona sy ny fianianana izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra, satria efa nanota taminy izahay.
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.
Ary notanterahiny ny teniny, izay nolazainy hamelezana anay sy ny mpitsaranay izay nitsara anay, ka nataony niharan-doza lehibe izahay, fa tetỳ ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra dia tsy mbola nisy natao tahaka izay natao tany Jerosalema.
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.
Araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy no nahatongavan’ izao loza rehetra izao taminay; nefa tsy nifona teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray izahay hialanay amin’ ny helokay sy hahafantaranay ny fahamarinanao.
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.
Koa izany no nitehirizan’ i Jehovah ny loza, ka nataony mihatra aminay, fa marina Jehovah Andriamanitray amin’ ny asany rehetra izay efa nataony; fa izahay no tsy nihaino ny feony.
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.
Koa ankehitriny, Tompo Andriamanitray ô, Izay nitondra ny olonao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta tamin’ ny tanana mahery ka nanao anarana ho Anao tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao, efa nanota izahay, efa nanao ratsy izahay.
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.
Tompo ô, mifona aminao aho, araka ny fahamarinanao rehetra, aoka re hionona ny fahatezeranao sy ny fahaviniranao amin’ i Jerosalema tanànanao, tendrombohitrao masìna, fa ny helokay sy ny fahotan’ ny razanay no nahatonga an’ i Jerosalema sy ny olonao ho latsa amin’ izay rehetra manodidina anay.
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.
Fa ankehitriny, ry Andriamanitray ô, henoy ny fivavaky ny mpanomponao sy ny fifonany, ary ampamirapirato ny tavanao amin’ ny fitoeranao masìna izay efa foana, satria Tompo Hianao.
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.
Andriamanitra ô, atongilano ny sofinao, ka mihainoa; ahirato ny masonao, ka jereo ny fahafoananay sy ny tanàna izay nantsoina amin’ ny anaranao; fa tsy amin’ ny fahamarinanay no andoaranay ny fifonanay eto anatrehanao, fa amin’ ny halehiben’ ny indrafonao.
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.”
Tompo ô, mandrenesa, Tompo ô, mamelà heloka; Tompo ô, mihainoa, ka miasà; aza ela Hianao, ry Andriamanitro ô noho ny aminao; fa ny tanànanao sy ny olonao dia nantsoina amin’ ny anaranao.
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—
Ary raha mbola niteny sy nivavaka sy niaiky ny fahotako mbamin’ ny fahotan’ ny Isiraely fireneko aho ka nandoatra ny fifonako teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro ho an’ ny tendrombohitra masin’ Andriamanitro,
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.
eny, raha mbola niteny nivavaka aho, dia, indro, ilay lehilahy Gabriela izay hitako tamin’ ny fahitana voalohany, dia nampanidinina faingana ka nanatona ahy tokony ho tamin’ ny fotoan’ ny fanatitra hariva.
22 He instructed me and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel, I have come now to give you insight and understanding.
Ary izy nampahalala ahy sy niresaka tamiko ka nanao hoe: Ry Daniela ô, avy hampahazava saina anao aho.
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:
Tamin’ ny niantombohan’ ny fivavakao dia nisy teny nivoaka, ka dia tonga hanambara aminao aho, satria malala indrindra ianao; koa diniho ny teny, ary aoka ho fantatrao ny fahitana.
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.
Fito-polo herinandro no voatendry ho an’ ny firenenao sy ny tanànanao masìna, hahatapaka ny fahadisoana sy hanampina ny fahotana, ary hanao fanavotana noho ny heloka sy hampiditra fahamarinana mandrakizay, ary hanisy tombo-kase ny fahitana sy ny faminaniana sy hanosotra izay masìna indrindra.
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.
Koa aoka ho fantatrao sy ho azonao fa hatramin’ ny hivoahan’ ny didy hanavaozana sy hanamboarana an’ i Jerosalema ka hatramin’ i Mesia Andriana dia ho fito herinandro sy roa amby enim-polo herinandro; hamboarina indray ny lalana sy ny hady, dia amin’ izay andro mampahory.
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.
Ary rehefa afaka ny roa amby enim-polo herinandro, dia hovonoina ny Mesia ka tsy hanana; ary ny vahoaky ny mpanjaka izay ho avy dia handrava ny tanana sy ny fitoerana masìna; ary ny farany dia hisy safotra, ary hatramin’ ny farany dia hisy ady sy fandravana voatendry.
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.”
Ary hanorina fanekena ho herinandro amin’ ny maro izy ary hampitsahatra ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy ny fanatitra hafa hatramin’ ny antsasaky ny herinandro, ary amin’ ny elatry ny fahavetavetana no nihavian’ ny mpandrava, hatramin’ ny fahafonganana voatendry, izay haidina amin’ ny mpandrava.
