< 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,
I te tuatahi o nga tau o Tariuha tama a Ahahueruha, no nga uri o nga Meri, i kingi nei ia ki te kingitanga o nga Karari;
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.
I tona tau tuatahi i kingi ai, ka kitea e ahau, e Raniera, ki nga pukapuka te maha o nga tau i puta mai ai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia poropiti, hei whakatutukitanga i te ururua o Hiruharama, ara ka tae ki te whitu tekau tau.
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes;
Na ka anga toku mata ki te Ariki, ki te Atua; rapua ana e ahau i runga i te karakia, i te inoi, i te nohopuku, i te kakahu taratara, i te pungarehu.
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:
Na ka inoi atu ahau ki te Ariki, ki toku Atua, ka whaki, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Atua nui, e te atua whakamataku, e pupuri nei i te kawenata, i te atawhai mo te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia, e pupuri ana i ana whakahau;
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.
Kua hara matou, kua poka ke, kua mahi i te kino, kua whakakeke hoki, i a matou i tahuri ke nei i au whakahau, i au tikanga.
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.
Kihai ano matou i whakarongo ki au pononga, ki nga poropiti i korero nei i runga i tou ingoa ki o matou kingi, ki o matou rangatira, ki o matou matua, ki te iwi katoa ano o te whenua.
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.
Kei a koe, e te Ariki, te tika; kei a matou ia te whakama o te mata, koia ano tenei inaianei; kei nga tangata ano o Hura, kei nga tangata o Hiruharama, kei a Iharaira katoa, kei nga mea e tata ana, kei nga mea i tawhiti, i nga whenua katoa i peia atu ai ratou e koe, mo to ratou he i he ai ratou ki a koe.
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.
E te Ariki, kei a matou nei ko te whakama o te mata, kei o matou kingi hoki, kei o matou rangatira, kei o matou matua hoki, no te mea i hara matou ki a koe.
9 With the Lord our God are mercies and pardons, for we have rebelled against him;
Na te Ariki, na to matou Atua, nga mahi tohu me nga murunga hara, ko matou ia kua whakakeke ki a ia;
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.
Kihai ano i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to matou Atua, kihai i haere i ana ture i whakatakotoria e ia, ara e ana pononga, e nga poropiti, ki to matou aroaro.
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.
Ae ra, kua takahia e Iharaira katoa tau ture, kua whakarerea e ratou, kia kore ai ratou e rongo ki tou reo; koia i ringihia ai te kanga ki runga ki a matou, me te oati i tuhituhia ki te ture a Mohi pononga a te Atua; kua hara hoki matou ki a ia.
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.
Na kua pumau i a ia ana kupu i korerotia e ia mo matou, mo o matou kaiwhakawa i whakarite nei i o matou whakawa, na te kino nui hoki kua kawea mai nei e ia ki runga ki a matou: kahore hoki he rite mo te mea kua meatia nei ki Hiruharama i raro i te rangi katoa.
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.
Ka rite ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture a Mohi tenei kino katoa kua tae mai nei ki a matou: heoi kahore a matou inoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to matou Atua, mo matou kia tahuri atu i o matou kino, kia matau hoki ki tou pono.
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.
Na reira te kino i tirotirohia mai ai e Ihowa, a kawea mai ana e ia ki runga ki a matou; tika tonu hoki ta Ihowa, ta to matou Atua, i ana mahi katoa e mahia ana e ia, a kihai matou i whakarongo ki tona reo.
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.
Na aianei, e te Ariki, e to matou Atua, nau nei i kawe mai tau iwi i te whenua o Ihipa i runga i te ringa kaha, a mahia ana e koe he ingoa mou, penei ano me tenei inaianei; hara ana matou, mahi ana i te kino.
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.
E te Ariki, kia rite ki au mahi tika katoa, whakatahuritia atu tou riri, tou weriweri, i tau pa, i Hiruharama, i tou maunga tapu: he hara nei hoki no matou, he kino no o matou matua i ingoa kino ai a Hiruharama me tau iwi ki te hunga katoa i tet ahi taha o matou, i tetahi taha.
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.
Na whakarongo aianei, e to matou Atua, ki te inoi a tau pononga, ki ana tangi, kia marama ano tou mata ki tou wahi tapu kua ururua nei, me whakaaro ki te Ariki.
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.
Kia anga mai, e toku Atua, tou taringa, whakarongo hoki, titiro mai hoki ou kanohi, kia kitea ai e koe o matou matenga, me te pa ano kua huaina nei tou ingoa mo reira: ehara hoki i te mea he tika no matou i tukua atu ai e matou a matou inoi ki t ou aroaro, engari he nui no au mahi tohu.
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.
Whakarongo, e te Ariki; e te Ariki, murua te he; e te Ariki, whakarongo mai, e mahi; kaua e whakaroa; kia mahara ano ki a koe, e toku Atua, kua oti hoki tou ingoa te whakahua mo tau pa, mo tau iwi.
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;
Na, i ahau e korero ana, e karakia ana, e whaki ana i toku hara, i te hara ano o toku iwi, o Iharaira, e tuku ana i taku inoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o toku Atua, mo te maunga tapu o toku Atua;
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.
Ae ra, i ahau e korero ana, e karakia ana, na ko Kapariera, ko te tangata i kitea e ahau i te whakakitenga i te timatanga, ko tona rere he mea whakahohoro, kua pa mai ki ahau i te wa o to te ahiahi whakahere.
22 And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding.
Na ka ako ia i ahau, ka korero ki ahau, ka mea, E Raniera, kua puta mai nei ahau kia mohio ai koe, kia matau ai.
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:
I te timatanga o au inoi i puta te kupu, a kua tae mai ahau ki te whakaatu; e arohaina nuitia ana hoki koe, na kia mohio koe ki te mea, whakaaroa ano te kite.
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.
E whitu tekau nga wiki kua oti te whakarite mo tou iwi, mo tou pa tapu hoki, e whakaotia ai te poka ke, e whakamutua ai nga hara, e oti ai te whakamarie mo te kino, e kawea mai ai te tika mau tonu, e hiritia ai te kite, me te poropititanga, e wh akawahia ai te Tapu Rawa.
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.
Na kia mohio, a kia marama hoki, e whitu nga wiki o te putanga o te kupu, kia whakahoutia, kia hanga a Hiruharama a tae noa ki te mea i whakawahia, ki te rangatira: a, e ono tekau ma rua nga wiki, ka oti ano te hanga, me te waharoa, me te awaker i, ahakoa i roto i nga wa raruraru.
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.
A, ka taka aua wiki e ono tekau ma rua, ka hatepea atu te mea i whakawahia, a kahore he mea mana; a ka whakangaromia te pa me te wahi tapu e te iwi o te rangatira ka haere mai nei; a he waipuke kei tona mutunga, a he whawhai taea noatia te mutun ga; kua takoto hoki nga whakangaromanga.
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.
A ka hanga e ia he kawenata pumau ki etahi tokomaha, kotahi te wiki; ka tae ki te hawhe o te wiki e meinga ana e ia kia mutu te patunga tapu me te whakahere; na ka haere mai tetahi i runga i te parirau o nga mea whakarihariha, mana e whakaururua; a ka ringihia he riri ki runga ki te kaiwhakangaro, a taea rawatia ano te whakaotinga, he mea kua oti te whakarite.
