< 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 —
Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní Dariusi ọmọ Ahaswerusi, ẹni tí a bí ní Media, òun ló jẹ ọba lórí ìjọba Babeli.
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.
Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní ìjọba rẹ̀, èmi Daniẹli fi iyè sí i láti inú ìwé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí wòlíì Jeremiah, wá pé, àádọ́rin ọdún ni Jerusalẹmu yóò fi wà ní ahoro.
3 So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
Nígbà náà, ni mo yípadà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run, mo bẹ̀ ẹ́ pẹ̀lú àdúrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àwẹ̀, aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ àti eérú.
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,
Mo gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, mo sì jẹ́wọ́ wí pé: “Ìwọ Olúwa, Ọlọ́run tí ó tóbi, tí ó sì ní ẹ̀rù, ẹni tí ń pa májẹ̀mú ìfẹ́ mọ́, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó ní ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti àwọn tí ó ń pa àwọn òfin rẹ̀ mọ́.
5 we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances.
Àwa ti ṣẹ̀, a sì ti ṣe búburú. Àwa ti hu ìwà búburú, a sì ti ṣe ọ̀tẹ̀, a ti yí padà kúrò nínú àwọn àṣẹ àti àwọn ìlànà rẹ̀.
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.
Àwa kò fetí sí àwọn wòlíì ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, ẹni tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ ní orúkọ rẹ sí àwọn ọba wa, àwọn ọmọ-aládé àti àwọn baba wa, àti sí gbogbo ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà.
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.
“Olúwa ìwọ ni olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n báyìí ìtìjú dé bá àwọn ènìyàn Juda, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu àti gbogbo Israẹli ní gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ ti fọ́n wa ká sí nítorí àìṣòótọ́ ọ wa sí ọ.
8 O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.
Háà! Olúwa, àwa àti àwọn ọba wa, àwọn ọmọ-aládé, àti àwọn baba wa, ìtìjú dé bá wa nítorí àwa ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ọ.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him
Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ní àánú, ó sì ń dáríjì, bí àwa tilẹ̀ ti ṣe ọ̀tẹ̀ sí i;
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.
àwa kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, a kò sì pa àwọn òfin rẹ mọ́, èyí tí ó fún wa nípasẹ̀ àwọn wòlíì ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
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.
Gbogbo Israẹli ti ṣẹ̀ sí òfin rẹ, wọ́n ti yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, wọ́n kọ̀ láti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ọ. “Nígbà náà ni ègún àti ìdájọ́ tí a kọ sílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìbúra nínú òfin Mose ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run dà sórí i wa, nítorí tí àwa ti sẹ̀ sí ọ.
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.
Ìwọ ti mú ọ̀rọ̀ tí o sọ sí wa sẹ àti lórí àwọn alákòóso wa, nípa mímú kí ibi ńlá bá wa, irú èyí tí kò tí ì ṣẹlẹ̀ rí lábẹ́ ọ̀run, bí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Jerusalẹmu yìí.
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.
Bí a ti kọ ọ́ sínú òfin Mose bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo ibi yìí ti dé bá wa, síbẹ̀ a kò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún ojúrere Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, nípa yíyí padà kí a kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa kí a sì mọ òtítọ́ rẹ.
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.
Olúwa kò jáfara láti mú ibi náà wá sórí wa, nítorí olódodo ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa nínú u gbogbo ohun tí ó ń ṣe; síbẹ̀ àwa kò ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí i.
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.
“Ní ìsinsin yìí, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, ẹni tí ó mú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára, tí ó fún ara rẹ̀ ní orúkọ tí ó wà títí di òní, a ti ṣẹ̀, a sì ti ṣe búburú.
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.
Olúwa, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ìwà òdodo rẹ, yí ìbínú àti ìrunú rẹ padà kúrò ní Jerusalẹmu ìlú u rẹ, òkè mímọ́ rẹ. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa àti àìṣedéédéé àwọn baba wa ti mú Jerusalẹmu àti ènìyàn rẹ di ẹ̀gàn fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó yí wọn ká.
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.
“Nísinsin yìí, Ọlọ́run wa, gbọ́ àdúrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, nítorí i tìrẹ Olúwa, fi ojú àánú wo ibi mímọ́ rẹ tí ó ti dahoro.
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.
Tẹ́ etí rẹ sílẹ̀, Ọlọ́run, kí o gbọ́; ya ojú rẹ sílẹ̀, kí o sì wo ìdahoro ìlú tí a ń fi orúkọ rẹ pè. Àwa kò gbé ẹ̀bẹ̀ wa kalẹ̀ níwájú u rẹ nítorí pé a jẹ́ olódodo, bí kò ṣe nítorí àánú ńlá rẹ.
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.”
Olúwa, fetísílẹ̀! Olúwa, dáríjì! Olúwa, gbọ́ kí o sì ṣe é! Nítorí i tìrẹ, Ọlọ́run mi, má ṣe pẹ́ títí, nítorí ìlú rẹ àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ń jẹ́ orúkọ mọ́ ọ lára.”
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—
Bí mo ṣe ń sọ̀rọ̀, tí mo sì ń gba àdúrà, tí mo ń jẹ́wọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn mi, tí mo sì ń mú ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi tọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi nítorí òkè mímọ́ rẹ.
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.
Bí mo ṣe ń gba àdúrà náà lọ́wọ́, Gabrieli ọkùnrin tí mo rí nínú ìran ìṣáájú, yára kánkán wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi ní àkókò ẹbọ àṣálẹ́.
22 He instructed me and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel, I have come now to give you insight and understanding.
Ó jẹ́ kí ó yé mi, ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Daniẹli, mo wá láti jẹ́ kí o mọ̀ kí o sì ní òye.
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:
Bí o ṣe bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí nígbà àdúrà, a fún ọ ní ìdáhùn kan, èyí tí mo wá láti sọ fún ọ, nítorí ìwọ jẹ́ àyànfẹ́ gidigidi. Nítorí náà, gba ọ̀rọ̀ náà yẹ̀ wò kí ìran náà sì yé ọ:
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.
“Àádọ́rin ọ̀sẹ̀ ni a pàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ àti fún àwọn ìlú mímọ́ rẹ láti parí ìrékọjá, láti fi òpin sí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, láti ṣe ètùtù sí ìwà búburú, láti mú òdodo títí ayé wá, láti ṣe èdìdì ìran àti wòlíì àti láti fi òróró yan Ibi Mímọ́ Jùlọ.
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.
“Nítorí náà, mọ èyí pé, láti ìgbà tí a ti gbé ọ̀rọ̀ náà jáde wí pé kí a tún Jerusalẹmu ṣe, kí a sì tún kọ́, títí dé ìgbà ọmọ-aládé, ẹni òróró náà, alákòóso wa yóò fi dé, ó jẹ́ ọ̀sẹ̀ méje àti ọ̀sẹ̀ méjìlélọ́gọ́ta, a ó sì tún ìgboro àti yàrá rẹ̀ mọ, ṣùgbọ́n ní àkókò wàhálà ni.
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.
Lẹ́yìn ọ̀sẹ̀ méjìlélọ́gọ́ta, a ó ké Ẹni òróró náà kúrò, kò sì ní ní ohun kan. Àwọn ènìyàn ọmọ-aládé náà tí yóò wá ni yóò pa ìlú náà àti ibi mímọ́ run. Òpin yóò dé bí ìkún omi, ogun yóò máa jà títí dé òpin, a sì ti pàṣẹ ìdahoro.
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.”
Yóò sì fi ìdí i májẹ̀mú kan múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ fún ọ̀sẹ̀ kan. Ní àárín ọ̀sẹ̀ ni yóò mú òpin bá ẹbọ àti ọrẹ ẹbọ. Àti lórí apá kan ni yóò dà ìríra tí ó mú ìdahoro wá, títí tí òpin tí a ti pàṣẹ lórí asọnidahoro yóò fi padà fi dé bá a.”
