< 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:
Tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Dariosa, zanak’ i Ahasoerosy, avy amin’ ny taranaky ny Mediana, izay nampanjakaina tamin’ ny fanjakan’ ny Kaldeana,
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.
tamin’ ny taona voalodany nanjakany, izaho Daniela nahalala tamin’ ny boky ny isan’ ny taona nampahafantarin’ ny tenin’ i Jehovah an’ i Jeremia mpaminany, izay hahataperan’ ny fito-polo taona amin’ ny hahafoanan’ i Jerosalema.
3 And I set my face to the Lord my God, to pray and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Ary nampanatrehiko an’ Andriamanitra Tompo ny tavako hitady izay hivavahana sy hifonana amin’ ny fifadian-kanina ny lamba fisaonana ary ny lavenona.
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.
Ary nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro aho ka nitsotra hoe: Indrisy! Tompo ô, Andriamanitra lehibe sy mahatahotra, mitandrina ny fanekena sy ny famindram-po ho amin’ izay tia Azy sy mitandrina ny didiny,
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.
efa nanota izahay sady nanao meloka ary nanao ratsy sy niodina, eny, efa niala tamin’ ny didinao sy ny fitsipikao izahay,
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.
ary tsy nohenoinay ny mpaminany mpanomponao, izay niteny tamin’ ny anaranao tamin’ ny mpanjakanay sy ny mpanapaka anay sy ny razanay ary ny vahoaka rehetra.
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.
Anao ny fahamarinana, Tompo ô, fa anay kosa ny fangaihaizana, tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao, dia an’ ny Joda sy ny mponina any Jerosalema ary ny Isiraely rehetra, na ny akaiky na ny lavitra, dia any amin’ ny tany rehetra izay efa nandroahanao azy noho ny fahadisoany izay nandisoany taminao;
8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our princes, and to our fathers that have sinned.
eny, anay ny fangaihaizana, Tompo ô, dia an’ ny mpanjakanay sy ny mpanapaka anay ary ny razanay, satria efa nanota taminao izahay.
9 But to thee, the Lord our God, mercy and forgiveness, for we have departed from thee:
An’ ny Tompo Andriamanitray kosa ny famindram-po sy ny famelan-keloka, satria efa niodina taminy izahay
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.
ka tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray, mba handeha araka ny lalàny izay nasainy napetraky ny mpaminany mpanompony teo anoloanay.
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.
Eny, ny Isiraely rehetra efa nandika ny lalànao ka niala, fa tsy nihaino ny feonao, ka dia naidina taminay ny ozona sy ny fianianana izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra, satria efa nanota taminy izahay.
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.
Ary notanterahiny ny teniny, izay nolazainy hamelezana anay sy ny mpitsaranay izay nitsara anay, ka nataony niharan-doza lehibe izahay, fa tetỳ ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra dia tsy mbola nisy natao tahaka izay natao tany Jerosalema.
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.
Araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy no nahatongavan’ izao loza rehetra izao taminay; nefa tsy nifona teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray izahay hialanay amin’ ny helokay sy hahafantaranay ny fahamarinanao.
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.
Koa izany no nitehirizan’ i Jehovah ny loza, ka nataony mihatra aminay, fa marina Jehovah Andriamanitray amin’ ny asany rehetra izay efa nataony; fa izahay no tsy nihaino ny feony.
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,
Koa ankehitriny, Tompo Andriamanitray ô, Izay nitondra ny olonao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta tamin’ ny tanana mahery ka nanao anarana ho Anao tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao, efa nanota izahay, efa nanao ratsy izahay.
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.
Tompo ô, mifona aminao aho, araka ny fahamarinanao rehetra, aoka re hionona ny fahatezeranao sy ny fahaviniranao amin’ i Jerosalema tanànanao, tendrombohitrao masìna, fa ny helokay sy ny fahotan’ ny razanay no nahatonga an’ i Jerosalema sy ny olonao ho latsa amin’ izay rehetra manodidina anay.
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.
Fa ankehitriny, ry Andriamanitray ô, henoy ny fivavaky ny mpanomponao sy ny fifonany, ary ampamirapirato ny tavanao amin’ ny fitoeranao masìna izay efa foana, satria Tompo Hianao.
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.
Andriamanitra ô, atongilano ny sofinao, ka mihainoa; ahirato ny masonao, ka jereo ny fahafoananay sy ny tanàna izay nantsoina amin’ ny anaranao; fa tsy amin’ ny fahamarinanay no andoaranay ny fifonanay eto anatrehanao, fa amin’ ny halehiben’ ny indrafonao.
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.
Tompo ô, mandrenesa, Tompo ô, mamelà heloka; Tompo ô, mihainoa, ka miasà; aza ela Hianao, ry Andriamanitro ô noho ny aminao; fa ny tanànanao sy ny olonao dia nantsoina amin’ ny anaranao.
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:
Ary raha mbola niteny sy nivavaka sy niaiky ny fahotako mbamin’ ny fahotan’ ny Isiraely fireneko aho ka nandoatra ny fifonako teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro ho an’ ny tendrombohitra masin’ Andriamanitro,
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.
eny, raha mbola niteny nivavaka aho, dia, indro, ilay lehilahy Gabriela izay hitako tamin’ ny fahitana voalohany, dia nampanidinina faingana ka nanatona ahy tokony ho tamin’ ny fotoan’ ny fanatitra hariva.
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.
Ary izy nampahalala ahy sy niresaka tamiko ka nanao hoe: Ry Daniela ô, avy hampahazava saina anao aho.
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.
Tamin’ ny niantombohan’ ny fivavakao dia nisy teny nivoaka, ka dia tonga hanambara aminao aho, satria malala indrindra ianao; koa diniho ny teny, ary aoka ho fantatrao ny fahitana.
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.
Fito-polo herinandro no voatendry ho an’ ny firenenao sy ny tanànanao masìna, hahatapaka ny fahadisoana sy hanampina ny fahotana, ary hanao fanavotana noho ny heloka sy hampiditra fahamarinana mandrakizay, ary hanisy tombo-kase ny fahitana sy ny faminaniana sy hanosotra izay masìna indrindra.
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.
Koa aoka ho fantatrao sy ho azonao fa hatramin’ ny hivoahan’ ny didy hanavaozana sy hanamboarana an’ i Jerosalema ka hatramin’ i Mesia Andriana dia ho fito herinandro sy roa amby enim-polo herinandro; hamboarina indray ny lalana sy ny hady, dia amin’ izay andro mampahory.
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.
Ary rehefa afaka ny roa amby enim-polo herinandro, dia hovonoina ny Mesia ka tsy hanana; ary ny vahoaky ny mpanjaka izay ho avy dia handrava ny tanana sy ny fitoerana masìna; ary ny farany dia hisy safotra, ary hatramin’ ny farany dia hisy ady sy fandravana voatendry.
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.
Ary hanorina fanekena ho herinandro amin’ ny maro izy ary hampitsahatra ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy ny fanatitra hafa hatramin’ ny antsasaky ny herinandro, ary amin’ ny elatry ny fahavetavetana no nihavian’ ny mpandrava, hatramin’ ny fahafonganana voatendry, izay haidina amin’ ny mpandrava.
