< Daniel 9 >

1 It was the first year of Darius the Mede, son of Ahasuerus, after he had become king of the Babylonians.
Darius mwet Mede, su wen natul Xerxes, el pa leumi tokosrai lun Babylonia.
2 During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures as given to the prophet Jeremiah that the time of seventy years for Jerusalem to lie desolate would soon be fulfilled.
In yac se oemeet in pacl el leum ah, nga lutlut ke book mutal uh, ac nunku na ke yac itngoul ma acn Jerusalem ac musalla uh, oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel mwet palu Jeremiah.
3 So I turned to the Lord God in prayer. I fasted and wore sackcloth and ashes, and I pleaded with him in prayer to act.
Ac nga arulana moniyukla in pre nu sin Leum God, ac kwafe nu sel, ac oru lalo luk, nukum nuknuk yohk eoa, ac muta in apat.
4 I prayed to the Lord my God, and confessed, saying, “Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always keep your promises and show your trustworthy love to those who love you and keep your commandments.
Nga pre nu sin LEUM GOD luk, ac fahkak nu sel ma koluk lun mwet luk. Nga fahk, “Leum God, kom fulatlana, ac kut akfulatye kom. Kom pwayena ke wuleang lom, ac akkalemye lungse kawil lom nu selos su lungse kom ac oru ma kom sapkin.
5 But we have sinned, we have done wrong. We have acted wickedly, we have rebelled against you. We have turned away from your commandments and your laws.
“Kut oru ma koluk, moul lasr arulana koluk, ac orekma lasr sesuwos. Kut tia oru ma kom sap kut in oru, ac forla liki ma kom akkalemye nu sesr mu ma pwaye.
6 We have not paid attention to your servants the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings and leaders and forefathers, and to everybody in the country.
Kut tia porongo pusren mwet kulansap lom mwet palu, su kaskas ke Inem nu sin tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, mwet matu lasr somla, ac nu sin mutunfacl se inge nufon.
7 Lord, you always do what is right, but we continue to be ashamed to this very day—we the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, those nearby and those far away, those of every country where you have driven them because of their unfaithfulness to you.
O Leum, kom oru na ma pwaye pacl e nukewa, a kut oru na ma su akmwekinye kut sifacna. Aok, yokna nu sesr su muta in Judea ac Jerusalem, ac nu sin mwet Israel nukewa su kom akfahsryelik in muta in acn apkuran ac acn loessula ke sripen elos tia inse pwaye nu sum.
8 Public shame is ours Lord, and on our kings and princes and forefathers, because we have sinned against you.
Tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, oayapa mwet matu lasr su somla, elos oru na mwe akmwekin ac orekma koluk lain kom, LEUM GOD.
9 Yet you, the Lord our God, are compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against you.
Kom pakoten ac ku na in nunak munas, kut finne likkeke nu sum.
10 We have not obeyed what you, the Lord God, have told us. We have not followed your law that you gave us through your servants the prophets.
Kut tiana porongekom, O LEUM GOD lasr, ke kom fahk mu kut in moul fal nu ke ma sap ma kom ase nu sesr sin mwet kulansap lom mwet palu.
11 The whole of Israel has broken your law and turned away from you, not listening to what you had to say. That's why the condemnation that comes from our broken promise has been poured out on us—because of our sin, as made clear in the Law of Moses, the servant of the Lord.
Israel nufon kunausla ma sap lom, ac tia lungse lohng ma kom fahk. Kut orekma koluk lain kom, pwanang kom ase mwe selnga nu facsr ma simla in Ma Sap lal Moses, mwet kulansap lom.
12 You have carried out what you warned us about, against us and against our rulers—such a terrible punishment brought upon Jerusalem, the worst that has ever happened in the whole world.
Kom oru oana ma kom tuh fahk mu kom ac oru nu sesr, ac nu sin mwet kol lasr. Kom sang kalya nu sin Jerusalem yohk liki siti nukewa saya fin faclu,
13 Just as the Law of Moses said, all this punishment has fallen on us, but we still have not asked you, the Lord our God, to be favorable to us, turning away from our sins and paying attention to your truth.
ac ase nu sesr kain in kaiyuk nukewa ma aketeyuki in Ma Sap lal Moses. A nwe ingena, O LEUM GOD lasr, kut tia pacna srike in akinsewowoye kom, in forla liki ma koluk lasr, ac fahsr tukun ma pwaye lom.
14 You were ready to punish us, and you were right to do everything you have done, for we didn't listen to you.
Kom, O LEUM GOD lasr, tuh akola kom in kalyei kut, ac kom oru oana, mweyen kom oru na ma pwaye in pacl nukewa, a kut tia porongekom.
15 You, our Lord God, by your great power brought us out of Egypt, making a name for yourself that lasts even until now. But we have sinned, we have done wicked things.
“O Leum God lasr, kom akkalemye ku lom ke kom use mwet lom liki acn Egypt, ac ku lom uh srakna esamyuk. Kut orekma koluk, ac oru ma sutuu.
16 So Lord, because you are so good, please turn away from your anger and fury against Jerusalem, your holy mountain. Because of our sins and those of our forefathers, Jerusalem and your people are mocked by all our neighbors.
Kom tuh loangekutla in pacl somla, ke ma inge nimet kom sruokyana toasr lom sin acn Jerusalem. Siti se inge ma lom, eol mutal sum. Mwet nukewa in facl atulani nu sesr elos oru acn Jerusalem ac mwet lom mwe aksruksruk ke sripen ma koluk lasr ac ouiya koluk su mwet matu lasr somla elos tuh oru.
17 Now, our Lord, please listen to the prayer and pleading of your servant, and for your own sake look kindly on your abandoned sanctuary.
O God, lohng pre luk ac mwe kwafe luk. Sifilpa folokonak Tempul lom su tuh kunausyukla. Sifilpa folokonak, tuh mwet nukewa fah etu lah kom God.
18 Please listen carefully and open your eyes and see the terrible state we are in, and the city that bears your name. We're not making these requests to you for this because of our goodness, but because of your great mercy.
Porongekut, O God. Ngetma nu sesr, ac liye mwe ongoiya su oan facsr inge, ac keok lun siti se su us Inem. Kut pre nu sum mweyen kom pakoten, ac tia mweyen ma kut oru uh pwaye.
19 Lord, please listen! Lord, please forgive! Please pay attention and do something! For your own sake, my God, don't delay, for your city and your people are identified by your name.”
O Leum, porongekut. O Leum, nunak munas nu sesr. O Leum, lohng pre lasr, ac kasrekut! Ac kom in tia pahtlac, tuh mwet nukewa in etu lah kom God. Siti se inge ac mwet inge ma lom.”
20 I continued speaking, praying and confessing my sins and those of my people Israel, pleading before the Lord my God on behalf of Jerusalem, his holy mountain.
Nga tafwelana pre luk, ac fahkak ma koluk luk ac lun mwet luk Israel, ac kwafe sin LEUM GOD luk tuh Elan folokonak Tempul mutal lal.
21 While I was still praying, Gabriel, whom I'd seen previously when I'd had the vision, came flying rapidly towards me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
Ke nga pre ah, Gabriel, su nga tuh liye pac in aruruma se meet ah, el sohkma ac tuhwi yen se ma nga tu we ah. Pacl se el sunyu inge pacl in orek kisa in eku ah.
22 He gave me the following explanation, saying, “Daniel, I've come to give you insight and understanding.
El fahk nu sik, “Daniel, nga tuku in sot nu sum lalmwetmet ac etauk.
23 As soon as you started praying, the answer was given, and I have come to explain it to you because God loves you very much. So please listen to the explanation and understand the meaning of the vision.
Ke kom tuh mutawauk in kwafe sin God, El tuh topuk kom. El lungse kom, na pa nga tuku in fahkot top lal ke kwafe lom an. Lohang nu ke ma nga ac fahk inge, ac nga fah aketeya aruruma sac.
24 Seventy weeks has been allotted to your people and your holy city to deal with the rebellion, to put an end to sin, to forgive wrongdoing, to bring in everlasting goodness, to confirm the vision and the prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
“Itkosr pacl itngoul yac pa lusen pacl se ma God El oakiya mu ac fah aksukosokyeyuk mwet lom ac siti mutal sac liki ma koluk ac ma fohkfok uh. Ma koluk uh ac fah tuleyukla, ac nununku suwohs ac fah oakwuki ma pahtpat, tuh aruruma sac ac kas in palu sac in fah akpwayeiyuk, ac Tempul mutal sac in fah sifil kisaiyukla.
25 You need to know and understand that from the time the command is given to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah, seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks will elapse. It will be built with streets and defenses, in spite of the difficult times.
Esamya ma inge, ac kalem kac: Liki pacl se sapkinyuk in sifil musaiyuk Jerusalem ah nwe ke el su mosrweyukla ac tuku, yac itkosr pacl itkosr ac fah somla. Acn Jerusalem ac fah sifil musaiyukla, na ac oasr inkanek we ac kalkal kulana loangeyen siti uh, ac siti sac ac fah oanna nwe ke yac itkosr pacl onngoul luo somla, tusruktu in pacl se inge ac fah pus na mwe lokoalok.
26 After sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be put to death, and will be brought to nothing. A ruler will come to power whose army will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will come like a flood. War and devastation will continue until that period of time is completed.
Ac ke safla pacl sac, na el su mosrweyukla inge ac fah anwuki ke wangin mwatal. Siti sac ac Tempul ac fah kunausyukla sin mwet mweun lun sie mwet kol na ku, su ac utyak mweuni ac sruokya. Pacl safla sac ac fah tuku oana sie sronot, ac use mweun ac kunausten su God El akoela uh.
27 He will confirm the agreement with many people for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifices and offerings. The idolatry that causes devastation will be supported until the end when the same fate is poured out on the one who devastates.”
Mwet leum sac ac fah oru sie wulela na ku nu sin mwet puspis ke yac itkosr, ac ke tafu yac itkosr inge ac somla uh, el ac fah kutongya kisa ac mwe sang in tia sifil orek. Mwe Aksangeng na Upa ac fah mau fili fin acn fulat ke Tempul uh, na ac oanna we nwe ke na mwet se ma filiya uh el sun safla se ma God El akoela nu sel.”
