< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the offspring of the Medes, who ruled 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 year one of his reign, I, Daniel, understood in the books the number of the years, concerning the word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah, the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would be completed in 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 And I set my face to the Lord, my God, to ask and make supplication with fasting, and 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 I confessed, and I said, “I beg you, O Lord God, great and terrible, preserving the covenant and mercy for those who love you and keep your 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5 We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we acted impiously and have withdrawn, and we have turned aside from your commandments as well as your judgments.
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 obeyed your servants, the prophets, who have spoken in your name to our kings, our leaders, our fathers, and 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, is justice, but to us is confusion of face, just as it is on this day for the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, for those who are near and those who are far off, in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of their iniquities by which they have sinned against 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, to us belongs confusion of face: to our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, who have sinned.
Yawe, biso, bakonzi na biso, bakambi na biso mpe bakoko na biso, tolatisami na soni mpo ete tosalaki masumu liboso na Yo.
9 But to you, the Lord our God, is mercy and atonement, for we have withdrawn from you,
Kasi Yo Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, otonda na mawa mpe olimbisaka, atako biso, totombokelaki Yo.
10 and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord, our God, so as to walk in his law, which he established for us by 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 And all Israel has transgressed your law and has turned away, not listening to your voice, and so the condemnation and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses, servant of God, has rained down upon us, because we have sinned against him.
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 And he has fulfilled his words, which he has spoken over us and over our leaders who judged us, that he would lead over us a great evil, such as has never before existed under all of heaven, according to what has been done in 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 has been written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come upon us, and we did not entreat your face, O Lord our God, so that we might turn back from our iniquities and consider 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 And the Lord kept watch over the evil and has led it over us; the Lord, our God, is just in all his works, which he has accomplished, for we have not listened to 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 And now, O Lord, our God, who has led your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and has made yourself a name in accordance with this day: we have sinned, we have done wrong.
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, for all your righteousness, turn away, I beg you, your anger and your fury from your city, Jerusalem, and from your holy mountain. For, because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are a reproach to all who surround 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 Now, therefore, heed, O God, the prayer of your servant and his requests, and reveal your face over your sanctuary, which is desolate, for your own sake.
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 our desolation and the city over which your name is invoked. For it is not through our justifications that we offer requests before your face, but through the fullness of your 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 Heed, O Lord. Be pleased, O Lord. Turn and act. Do not delay, for your own sake, O my God, because your name is invoked over your city and over your people.”
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 And while I was still speaking and praying and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people, Israel, and offering my prayers in the sight of my God, on behalf of the holy mountain of my God,
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 as I was still speaking in prayer, behold, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me at 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 And he instructed me, and he spoke to me and said, “Now, Daniel, I have come forth to teach you and to help you understand.
Apesaki ngai malako, alobaki: « Daniele, nayei sik’oyo mpo na kopesa yo bososoli mpe mayele.
23 At the beginning of your prayers, the message came forth, yet I have come to explain it to you because you are a man who is seeking. Therefore, you must pay close attention to 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 of years are concentrated on your people and on your holy city, so that transgression shall be finished, and sin shall reach an end, and iniquity shall be wiped away, and so that everlasting justice shall be brought in, and vision and prophecy shall be fulfilled, and the Saint of saints shall be anointed.
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 Therefore, know and take heed: from the going forth of the word to build up Jerusalem again, until the Christ leader, there will be seven weeks of years, and sixty-two weeks of years; and the wide path will be built again, and the walls, in a time of anguish.
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 And after sixty-two weeks of years, the Christ leader will be slain. And the people who have denied him will not be his. And the people, when their leader arrives, will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will be devastation, and, after the end of the war, the desolation will be set up.
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 But he will confirm a covenant with many for one week of years; and for half of the week of years, victim and sacrifice will nearly cease; but there will be in the temple the abomination of desolation. And the desolation will continue even to the consummation and the end.”
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. »
