< Daniel 9 >
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,
Lè sa a, wa Dariyis, moun peyi Medi, pitit wa Egzèsès la, t'ap mache sou ennan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Babilòn.
2 in the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by the books that the number of the years, whereof the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishment of the desolations of Jerusalem, was seventy years.
Mwen menm Danyèl, mwen t'ap etidye liv Bondye yo. Mwen t'ap kalkile sou swasanndizan lavil Jerizalèm te gen pou l' rete kraze a, jan Seyè a te di l' nan bouch pwofèt Jeremi an.
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes;
Mwen leve je m' nan syèl la pou m' lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye a, ak tout kè m'. Mwen t'ap kriye nan pye l', mwen te rete san manje, yon rad sak sou mwen. Mwen te chita sou sann dife.
4 and I prayed unto Jehovah my God, and made my confession, and said, Alas Lord! the great and terrible God, keeping covenant and loving-kindness with them that love him, and that keep his commandments:
Mwen lapriyè nan pye Seyè a, Bondye mwen an. Mwen louvri kè m' ba li, mwen mande l' padon pou pèp mwen an. Mwen di: -Seyè, Bondye, ou gen gwo pouvwa, tout moun fèt pou gen krentif pou ou. Ou kenbe pwomès ou, ou pa janm sispann renmen moun ki renmen ou epi ki kenbe kòmandman ou yo.
5 we have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy commandments and from thine ordinances.
Nou peche, nou fè mechanste, nou fè sa ki mal, nou vire do ba ou, nou pa fè sa ou te mande nou fè, ni sa ou te ban nou lòd fè.
6 And we have not hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Nou pa t' koute pwofèt yo, sèvitè ou yo, ki te pale nan non ou ak wa nou yo, chèf nou yo, zansèt nou yo ak tout pèp nan peyi nou an.
7 Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their unfaithfulness in which they have been unfaithful against thee.
Ou menm, Seyè, tou sa ou fè dwat. Men, nou tout moun peyi Jida, moun lavil Jerizalèm, tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl ou te gaye nan peyi pre ak peyi lwen yo, se wont nou toujou wont sa nou fè, tankou jòdi a, paske nou pa t' kenbe pawòl nou avè ou.
8 O Lord, unto us is confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
Wi, Seyè, se yon wont pou nou tout, wa nou yo, chèf nou yo, zansèt nou yo, paske nou te fè sa ki mal devan ou.
9 With the Lord our God are mercies and pardons, for we have rebelled against him;
Ou menm Seyè, Bondye nou, ou gen bon kè, ou konn padonnen paske nou menm nou te vire do ba ou.
10 and we have not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through his servants the prophets.
Nou pa t' koute ou, Seyè Bondye nou, pou nou te viv dapre lòd ou te ban nou nan bouch pwofèt yo, sèvitè ou yo.
11 And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside so as not to listen unto thy voice. And the curse hath been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God: for we have sinned against him.
Tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt pa t' swiv lòd ou. Yo pran chemen kwochi, yo pa koute ou lè ou te pale yo. Se konsa tout madichon ak tout malè ki te ekri nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè ou la, tonbe sou nou, paske nou te fè sa ki mal devan ou.
12 And he hath performed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that there hath not been done under the whole heaven as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
Ou te fè tou sa ou te di w'ap fè nou ansanm ak chèf ki t'ap gouvènen nou yo. Ou voye yon sèl malè sou lavil Jerizalèm, malè ki patko janm rive sou latè.
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet we besought not Jehovah our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
Jan sa te ekri nan liv lalwa Moyiz la, tout malè sa a tonbe sou nou. Men, menm apre sa, nou pa t' chache fè ou plezi, Seyè Bondye nou. Nou pa t' sispann fè sa ki mal pou nou te swiv verite ou la.
14 And Jehovah hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for Jehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he hath done; and we have not hearkened unto his voice.
Wi, Seyè Bondye nou, ou te pare pou pini nou, ou pini nou vre, paske ou toujou fè sa ki dwat. Se nou ki pa koute lè ou te pale nou.
15 — And now, O Lord our God, who broughtest thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name, as it is this day, — we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
Koulye a, Seyè Bondye nou, ou te fè pèp ou a soti kite peyi Lejip ak fòs ponyèt ou. Jouk jounen jòdi a y'ap nonmen non ou pou sa. Men, nou menm nou peche, nou fè sa ki mal.
16 Lord, according to all thy righteousnesses, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; for because of our sins, and because of the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people [are become] a reproach to all round about us.
Seyè, ou te toujou pran defans nou nan tan lontan. Tanpri, pa fache, pa move sou lavil Jerizalèm ankò. Se mòn pa ou la, se mòn ki apa pou ou a li ye. Tout moun k'ap viv nan peyi tou kole ak nou yo ap pase ni lavil Jerizalèm ni pèp ou a nan betiz, poutèt peche nou yo ak mechanste zansèt nou yo te fè.
17 And now, our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
O Bondye papa nou! Tanpri, tande lapriyè sèvitè ou la ap fè nan pye ou. M'ap mande ou, tanpri souple, voye je ou sou tanp ou a ki fin kraze, pou tout moun ka konnen se Bondye ou ye.
18 Incline thine ear, O my God, and hear; open thine eyes and behold our desolations, and the city that is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee because of our righteousnesses, but because of thy manifold mercies.
O Bondye, pare zòrèy ou pou tande nou! Voye je ou wè jan nou fini! Gade nan ki eta lavil ki pote non ou lan ye! Se pa paske nou fè anyen ki dwat ki fè n'ap lapriyè nan pye ou konsa. Men, se paske ou gen bon kè anpil.
19 Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, hearken and do! defer not, for thine own sake, O my God! for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
Seyè, koute nou non! Seyè, padonnen nou! Seyè, louvri zòrèy ou! Fè kichòy! Pa mize, pou tout moun ka konnen se Bondye ou ye! Lavil la ansanm ak pèp la se pou ou yo ye. Se pou yo m'ap lapriyè.
20 And whilst I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God;
Mwen t'ap pale toujou nan lapriyè a, mwen t'ap rekonèt peche m' yo ak peche pèp Izrayèl la, pèp mwen an devan Bondye. Mwen t'ap mande Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, gras mizèrikòd pou mòn ki apa pou li a.
21 whilst I was yet speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
Wi, mwen t'ap pale toujou nan lapriyè a, lè Gabriyèl, zanj mwen te wè nan premye vizyon an, vole desann kote mwen te ye a. Se lè yo te konn fè ofrann bèt aswè a.
22 And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding.
Li vini, li pale avè m'. Li di m' konsa: -Danyèl, koulye a mwen vin la a pou m' ede ou konprann mesaj la.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the word went forth, and I am come to declare [it]; for thou art one greatly beloved. Therefore consider the word, and have understanding in the vision:
Depi lè ou te fèk konmanse ap lapriyè nan pye Bondye a, li te gen tan reponn ou. Se mesaj sa a mwen vin fè ou konnen. Ou se yon moun Bondye renmen anpil. Koulye a, louvri zòrèy ou pou ou ka konprann sans vizyon an byen.
24 Seventy weeks are apportioned out upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to close the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make expiation for iniquity, and to bring in the righteousness of the ages, and to seal the vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.
Sèt fwa swasanndizan an, se tan sa a Bondye fikse pou l' delivre pèp li a ansanm ak lavil ki apa pou li a anba peche ak mechanste. Lè lè sa a va rive, l'ap padonnen tout peche. Tout moun pral mache dwat pou tout tan. Konsa, tou sa yo te anonse nan vizyon an ak nan mesaj pwofèt la va rive. Yo pral mete lotèl la apa pou Bondye ankò.
25 Know therefore and understand: From the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto Messiah, the Prince, are seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. The street and the moat shall be built again, even in troublous times.
Konprann sa byen, louvri zòrèy ou. Depi lè yo te bay lòd pou yo te rebati Jerizalèm lan jouk lè chèf Bondye chwazi a va vini an, sèt fwa sètan pral pase. Yo pral rebati Jerizalèm avèk wout li yo ak miray ranpa li yo. Lavil la pral kanpe pou sèt fwa swasanndezan, men pandan tout tan sa a, moun pral anba anpil tray.
26 And after the sixty-two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, and shall have nothing; and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with an overflow, and unto the end, war, — the desolations determined.
Apre sèt fwa swasanndezan sa yo, yo pral touye chèf Bondye te chwazi a san rezon. Yon lòt chèf ap vini sot byen lwen, l'ap detwi lavil la ansanm ak Tanp lan. Tout bagay pral rete konsa, y'ap fini tankou lè gwo dlo desann. Lè sa a, pral gen lagè ak ravaj jan Bondye te pare l' la.
27 And he shall confirm a covenant with the many [for] one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and because of the protection of abominations [there shall be] a desolator, even until that the consumption and what is determined shall be poured out upon the desolate.
Chèf sa a pral siyen yon kontra solid avèk anpil lòt pèp pandan sètan. Men, sou twazan sis mwa l'ap fè yo sispann touye bèt ak fè ofrann pou Bondye. Yo pral mete bagay nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan chita byen wo nan Tanp lan. L'ap rete la jouk moun ki va mete l' la a va kontre ak bout li, jan Bondye pare sa pou li a.
