Daniel 9
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Assuerus of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans:
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa Dario mũrũ wa Ahasuerusu (wa rũciaro rwa Amedi), ũrĩa watuĩtwo mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Babuloni,
2 The first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, that seventy years should be accomplished of the desolation of Jerusalem.
mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa wathani wake-rĩ, niĩ Danieli nĩndataũkĩirwo kuuma maandĩko-inĩ matheru nĩ kiugo kĩrĩa Jehova eerĩte mũnabii Jeremia atĩ Jerusalemu nĩgũgakira ihooru mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja.
3 And I set my face to the Lord my God, to pray and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩĩhũgũrĩra Jehova Ngai, ngĩmũhooya, ngĩmũthaithaga ndĩhingĩte kũrĩa irio, na ndĩhumbĩte nguo ya ikũnia, na ngehurĩria mũhu mũtwe.
4 And I prayed to the Lord my God, and I made my confession, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord God, great and terrible, who keepest the covenant, and mercy to them that love thee, and keep thy commandments.
Ngĩhooya Jehova Ngai wakwa, na ngiumbũra mehia, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Wee Mwathani Ngai mũnene na wa gwĩtigĩrwo, o Wee ũhingagia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake kĩa wendo kũrĩ andũ othe arĩa mamwendete na magaathĩkĩra maathani make,
5 We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly, and have revolted: and we have gone aside from thy commandments, and thy judgments.
nĩtwĩhĩtie na tũgeka ũũru. Nĩtũkoretwo tũrĩ aaganu na tũkarema, tũkahutatĩra maathani maku na mawatho maku.
6 We have not hearkened to thy servants the prophets, that have spoken in thy name to our kings, to our princes, to our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Na tũkarega kũigua anabii acio ndungata ciaku, arĩa maaragia makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku makĩarĩria athamaki aitũ, na anene aitũ, o na maithe maitũ, o na andũ othe a bũrũri witũ.
7 To thee, O Lord, justice: but to us confusion of face, as at this day to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel to them that are near, and to them that are far off in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, for their iniquities by which they have sinned against thee.
“Wee Mwathani-rĩ, ũrĩ mũthingu, no ithuĩ-rĩ, ũmũthĩ ũyũ tũiyũirwo nĩ thoni, ithuĩ andũ a Juda, na andũ a Jerusalemu, na andũ othe a Isiraeli, arĩa marĩ gũkuhĩ na arĩa marĩ kũraya, mabũrũri-inĩ mothe kũrĩa ũtũhurunjĩire nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga kwĩhokeka harĩwe.
8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our princes, and to our fathers that have sinned.
Atĩrĩrĩ Wee Jehova, ithuĩ na athamaki aitũ, na anene aitũ na maithe maitũ tũiyũrĩtwo nĩ thoni nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa tũkwĩhĩirie.
9 But to thee, the Lord our God, mercy and forgiveness, for we have departed from thee:
Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ wa tha na nĩarekanagĩra, o na gũkorwo ithuĩ nĩtũmũremeire;
10 And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his law, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
tũtiathĩkĩire Jehova Ngai witũ kana tũkarũmia mawatho make marĩa aatũheire na tũnua twa anabii, ndungata ciake.
11 And all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have turned away from hearing thy voice, and the malediction, and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses the servant of God, is fallen upon us, because we have sinned against him.
Bũrũri wothe wa Isiraeli nĩwagararĩte watho waku na ũgakũhutatĩra, na ũkarega gũgwathĩkĩra. “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtũkinyĩrĩirwo nĩ irumi na tũgacookererwo nĩ mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa wandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ wa Musa, ndungata ya Ngai, tondũ nĩtũkwĩhĩirie.
12 And he hath confirmed his words which he spoke against us, and against our princes that judged us, that he would bring in upon us a great evil, such as never was under all the heaven, according to that which hath been done in Jerusalem.
Na rĩu nĩũhingĩtie ciugo iria waririe cia gũtũũkĩrĩra ithuĩ na anene aitũ na ũndũ wa gũtũrehithĩria mwanangĩko mũnene. Gũkũ thĩ guothe gũtirĩ gwekwo ũndũ mũnene ta ũrĩa wĩkĩtwo Jerusalemu.
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: and we entreated not thy face, O Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and think on thy truth.
O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ wa Musa-rĩ, mwanangĩko ũyũ wothe nĩũtũkinyĩrĩire. No rĩrĩ, tũtirĩ tũramaatha gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ Jehova Ngai witũ, nĩguo tũtigane na mehia maitũ na tũcũũranie ũhoro waku wa ma.
14 And the Lord hath watched upon the evil, and hath brought it upon us: the Lord our God is just in all his works which he hath done: for we have not hearkened to his voice.
Jehova ndaatithirie gũtũrehere mwanangĩko ũcio, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ mũthingu maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga; no, ithuĩ tũtiigana kũmwathĩkĩra.
15 And now, O Lord our God, who hast brought forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name as at this day: we have sinned, we have committed iniquity,
“Na rĩrĩ, Wee Mwathani Ngai witũ, o Wee warutire andũ aku bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko kwa hinya, na ũkĩĩgĩĩra igweta rĩrĩa rĩtũũraga ho nginya ũmũthĩ, ithuĩ Nĩtwĩhĩtie, na tũgeka ũũru.
16 O Lord, against all thy justice: let thy wrath and thy indignation be turned away, I beseech thee, from thy city Jerusalem, and from thy holy mountain. For by reason of our sins, and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem, and thy people are a reproach to all that are round about us.
Atĩrĩrĩ Wee Mwathani, kũringana na ciĩko ciaku cia ũthingu, ehereria Jerusalemu, itũũra rĩu rĩaku inene, na kĩrĩma gĩaku gĩtheru marakara na mangʼũrĩ maku. Mehia maitũ na mawaganu ma maithe maitũ nĩmo matũmĩte Jerusalemu hamwe na andũ aku matuĩke kĩndũ gĩa gũconorithio harĩ andũ arĩa othe matũthiũrũrũkĩirie.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the supplication of thy servant, and his prayers: and shew thy face upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for thy own sake.
“Na rĩrĩ, Ngai witũ, ĩtĩkĩra kũigua mahooya na mathaithana ma ndungata ĩno yaku. Nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku Wee Mwathani, iguĩra handũ haku hatheru tha, o hau hakirĩte ihooru.
18 Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear: open thy eyes, and see our desolation, and the city upon which thy name is called: for it is not for our justifications that we present our prayers before thy face, but for the multitude of thy tender mercies.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Wee Ngai thikĩrĩria, na ũtũigue, ũhingũre maitho maku wone ihooru rĩa itũũra inene rĩrĩa rĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku. Tũtiragũthaitha nĩ ũndũ tũrĩ athingu, no nĩ ũndũ wa tha ciaku nyingĩ.
19 O Lord, hear: O Lord, be appeased: hearken and do: delay not for thy own sake, O my God: because thy name is invocated upon thy city, and upon thy people.
Wee Mwathani, tũthikĩrĩrie! Wee Mwathani tũrekere! Wee Mwathani, tũigue na ũtũteithie! Nĩ ũndũ waku, Wee Ngai wakwa, ndũkagonderere nĩ ũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku inene na andũ aku metanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku.”
20 Now while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people of Israel, and presenting my supplications in the sight of my God, for the holy mountain of my God:
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa niĩ ndaaragia ngĩhooyaga na ngiumbũraga mehia makwa na ma andũ akwa a Isiraeli, na ngĩthaitha Jehova Ngai wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩma gĩake gĩtheru,
21 As I was yet 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.
o ndĩ o mahooya-inĩ-rĩ, Gaburieli, mũndũ ũrĩa ndonire kĩoneki-inĩ kĩa mbere, agĩũka harĩ niĩ ombũkĩte na ihenya ihinda rĩrĩa igongona rĩa hwaĩ-inĩ rĩrutagwo.
22 And he instructed me, and spoke to me, and said: O Daniel, I am now come forth to teach thee, and that thou mightest understand.
Nake akĩndaarĩria atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ Danieli, rĩu ndoka ngũhe ũmenyo na ũtaũku.
23 From the beginning of thy prayers the word came forth: and I am come to shew it to thee, because thou art a man of desires: therefore do thou mark the word, and understand the vision.
O rĩrĩa wambĩrĩirie kũhooya-rĩ, noguo icookio rĩheanirwo, na niĩ ndatũmwo njũke ngwĩre, tondũ ũrĩ mũndũ mwende mũno. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, cũrania ũhoro wa ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ngũkwĩra, na ũtaũkĩrwo nĩ kĩoneki kĩu:
24 Seventy weeks are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, that transgression may be finished, and sin may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the saint of saints may be anointed.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, ihinda rĩa ciumia mĩrongo mũgwanja nĩrĩo rĩtuĩrĩirwo andũ aku, na rĩgatuĩrwo itũũra rĩaku itheru, nĩgeetha hagĩe na ihinda rĩa kũniina ũmaramari, na rĩa gũtigana na mehia, na rĩa kũhooroheria waganu, nĩguo ũhoro wa ũthingu ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũgĩe, nakĩo kĩoneki na ũrathi ciĩkĩrwo mũhũũri, nake ũrĩa mũtheru mũno aitĩrĩrio maguta.
25 Know thou therefore, and take notice: that from the going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ the prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the walls in straitness of times.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, menya na ũtaũkĩrwo atĩrĩ, ‘Kuuma rĩrĩa gwatuirwo atĩ itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩcookererio na rĩakwo rĩngĩ, nginya rĩrĩa mũtongoria ũrĩa Mũitĩrĩrie Maguta agooka-rĩ, nĩgũkagĩa na ciumia mũgwanja na ciumia ingĩ mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na igĩrĩ. Itũũra rĩu nĩrĩgaakwo rĩngĩ, hamwe na njĩra ciarĩo na mũtaro, no gũgaakorwo kũrĩ mahinda ma thĩĩna.
26 And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his. And a people with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation.
Thuutha wa ciumia mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na igĩrĩ, ũcio Mũitĩrĩrie Maguta nĩakooragwo na atigwo atarĩ na kĩndũ. Ningĩ andũ a mũtongoria ũrĩa ũgooka thuutha wake nĩmagathũkangia itũũra rĩu inene o na handũ-harĩa-haamũre. Ithirĩro rĩgooka ta mũiyũro wa maaĩ: Nayo mbaara ĩgaathiĩ na mbere o nginya ithirĩro, na nĩgũtuĩtwo atĩ nĩgũgacooka gũkire ihooru.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week: and in the half of the week the victim and the sacrifice shall fall: and there shall be in the temple the abomination of desolation: and the desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end.
Nĩakagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrũmu na andũ aingĩ handũ ha kiumia kĩmwe. Gatagatĩ-inĩ ga kiumia kĩu nĩagatũma magongona na maruta matige kũrutwo. Na handũ ha mo, mwena ũmwe wa hekarũ-rĩ, nĩakarũgamia kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi na thaahu, o nginya ithirĩro rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo rĩgaakinya, nake atũũre aitagĩrĩrio mangʼũrĩ.’”
