Daniel 9
1 In the first yeere of Darius the sonne of Ahashuerosh, of the seede of the Medes, which was made King ouer the realme of the Caldeans,
Nʼafọ mbụ, nke Daraiọs nwa Ahasuerọs (onye agbụrụ Midia), onye e mere eze nke alaeze ndị Kaldịa,
2 Euen in the first yeere of his reigne, I Daniel vnderstood by bookes the nomber of the yeeres, whereof the Lord had spoken vnto Ieremiah the Prophet, that he would accomplish seuentie yeeres in the desolation of Ierusalem.
nʼafọ mbụ nke ọchịchị ya, ka mụ onwe m, bụ Daniel ghọtara site nʼakwụkwọ, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Jeremaya onye amụma, nke ga-emezu mgbe Jerusalem ga-anọ na mbibi iri afọ asaa.
3 And I turned my face vnto the Lord God, and sought by prayer and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
Nʼihi nke a, echere m Onyenwe anyị Chineke ihu, rịọ ya arịrịọ, site nʼekpere na arịrịọ amara, nʼibu ọnụ, na iyikwa akwa mkpe na ntụ.
4 And I prayed vnto the Lord my God, and made my confession, saying, Oh Lord God, which art great and fearefull, and keepest couenant and mercy toward them which loue thee, and toward them that keepe thy commandements,
Ekpere m ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke m, ma kwupụta sị, “Onyenwe anyị, onye dị ukwuu, dị oke egwu. Onye na-edebe ọgbụgba ndụ nke ịhụnanya nke ndị hụrụ ya nʼanya na-edebekwa iwu ya niile.
5 We haue sinned, and haue committed iniquitie and haue done wickedly, yea, we haue rebelled, and haue departed from thy precepts, and from thy iudgements.
Ma anyị emehiela meekwa ihe nʼadịghị mma megide gị. Anyị emeela ajọ omume, anyị enupula isi megide gị, gbakụtakwa iwu gị niile azụ.
6 For we would not obey thy seruants the Prophets, which spake in thy Name to our Kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Anyị e geghịkwa ndị ozi gị bụ ndị amụma ntị, bụ ndị gwara ndị eze anyị, na ndị ọchịchị anyị, na nna anyị ha, ma mmadụ niile bi nʼala anyị okwu nʼaha gị.
7 O Lord, righteousnes belongeth vnto thee, and vnto vs open shame, as appeareth this day vnto euery man of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem: yea, vnto all Israel, both neere and farre off, through all the countreys, whither thou hast driuen them, because of their offences, that they haue committed against thee.
“Onyenwe anyị, ị bụ onye ezi omume, ma nʼụbọchị taa anyị bụ ndị ihere dịrị, ndị Juda, ndị Jerusalem na ndị Izrel niile, ndị nọ nso ma ndị nọ nʼebe dị anya ebe ị chụgara ha nʼihi ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi anyị nye gị.
8 O Lord, vnto vs apperteineth open shame, to our Kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we haue sinned against thee.
Onyenwe anyị, ihere emegbuola anyị. Ihere dịrị ndị eze anyị, dịkwara ndịisi anyị na ndị nna anyị, nʼihi na anyị emeela mmehie megide gị.
9 Yet compassion and forgiuenesse is in the Lord our God, albeit we haue rebelled against him.
Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ka obi ebere na mgbaghara niile dịrị, nʼihi na anyị enupurula gị isi.
10 For we haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord our God, to walke in his lawes, which he had laide before vs by the ministerie of his seruants the Prophets.
Anyị erubeghị isi nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, maọbụ debe iwu ahụ o nyere anyị site nʼaka ndị ohu ha bụ ndị amụma.
11 Yea, all Israel haue transgressed thy Lawe, and are turned backe, and haue not heard thy voyce: therefore the curse is powred vpon vs, and the othe that is written in the Lawe of Moses the seruant of God, because we haue sinned against him.
Ndị Izrel niile enupula isi nʼiwu gị, wezuga onwe ha, jụ ige gị ntị. “Ya mere, ọbụbụ ọnụ ahụ niile e dere nʼiwu Mosis, odibo nke Chineke adakwasịla anyị, nʼihi na anyị emehiela megide gị.
12 And he hath confirmed his wordes, which he spake against vs, and against our iudges that iudged vs, by bringing vpon vs a great plague: for vnder the whole heauen hath not bene the like, as hath bene brought vpon Ierusalem.
O meela ka okwu ya guzosie ike, bụ nke o kwuru megide anyị na ndị ndu anyị site nʼiwetara anyị oke mbibi a. Nke bụ na o nwebeghị mgbe ọbụla e merela ụdị ihe emere na Jerusalem nʼokpuru eluigwe.
13 All this plague is come vpon vs, as it is written in the Lawe of Moses: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turne from our iniquities and vnderstand thy trueth.
Ọ bụ dịka e si dee ya nʼiwu Mosis, ka mbibi a niile bịakwasịrị anyị, ma anyị achọbeghị ihuọma Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, na ichegharị site na mmehie anyị chee uche banyere eziokwu gị.
14 Therefore hath the Lord made ready the plague, and brought it vpon vs: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we would not heare his voyce.
Onyenwe anyị kpachara anya mee ka nsogbu a bịakwasị anyị. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, bụ onye ezi omume nʼihe niile ọ na-eme, ma anyị jụrụ irubere ya isi.
15 And nowe, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mightie hand, and hast gotten thee renoume, as appeareth this day, we haue sinned, we haue done wickedly.
“Ma ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke, onye ji aka dị ike kpọpụta ndị nke ya nʼala Ijipt, i meere onwe gị aha nke na-adịgide ruo taa. Anyị mere mmehie, ma mejọọkwa.
16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousnes, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy wrath be turned away from thy citie Ierusalem thine holy Mountaine: for because of our sinnes, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Ierusalem and thy people are a reproche to all that are about vs.
Onyenwe anyị, dịka ezi omume gị si dị, wezuga iwe gị na oke iwe gị nʼebe Jerusalem nọ, bụ obodo gị, na ugwu nsọ gị. Mmehie anyị na njehie nna anyị ha emeela ka Jerusalem na ndị gị bụrụ ihe ịkwa emo nye ndị gbara anyị gburugburu.
17 Nowe therefore, O our God, heare the prayer of thy serunant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine vpon thy Sanctuarie, that lyeth waste for the Lords sake.
“Ma ugbu a, Chineke anyị, biko nụrụ ekpere na arịrịọ ohu gị. Nʼihi aha gị, Onyenwe anyị jiri amara mee ka ihe si nʼihu gị mụkwasị ụlọnsọ gị nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
18 O my God, encline thine eare and heare: open thine eyes, and beholde our desolations, and the citie whereupon thy Name is called: for we doe not present our supplications before thee for our owne righteousnes, but for thy great tender mercies.
Chineke m, tọọ ntị gị nʼala nụrụ arịrịọ m. Meghee anya gị abụọ ka ị hụrụ ọnọdụ mbibi nke obodo a na-akpọ aha gị nọ. Anyị anaghị arịọ ka i nyere anyị aka nʼihi na anyị bụ ndị ezi omume, kama anyị na-arịọ nʼihi na ebere gị dị ukwuu.
19 O Lord, heare, O Lord forgiue, O Lord consider, and doe it: deferre not, for thine owne sake, O my God: for thy Name is called vpon thy citie, and vpon thy people.
Onyenwe anyị nụrụ! Onyenwe anyị, gbaghara anyị! Onyenwe anyị biko, gee ntị ma zaa anyị. Nʼihi aha gị, O Chineke m, anọkwala ọdụ, nʼihi obodo gị, na ndị nke gị bụ aha gị ka a na-akpọ ha.”
20 And whiles I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sinne, and the sinne of my people Israel, and did present my supplication before the Lord my God, for the holy Mountaine of my God,
Mgbe m nọ na-ekwu okwu na-ekpe ekpere, na-ekwupụta mmehie m na mmehie ndị m Izrel, na-arịọkwa amara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke m maka ugwu dị nsọ nke Chineke m,
21 Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, euen the man Gabriel, whome I had seene before in the vision, came flying, and touched mee about the time of the euening oblation.
ebe m ka nọ na-ekpere, Gebrel, nwoke ahụ m hụrụ nʼọhụ na mbụ, feere ọsịịsọ bịakwute m nʼoge a na-achụ aja nke uhuruchi.
22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and sayd, O Daniel, I am now come forth to giue thee knowledge and vnderstanding.
Ọ bịara sị m, “Daniel, a bịara m ugbu a inye gị uche na nghọta.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandement came foorth, and I am come to shewe thee, for thou art greatly beloued: therefore vnderstande the matter and consider the vision.
Na mbido oge ị malitere ịrịọ arịrịọ, ka okwu ọsịsa pụtara. Abịara m ịgwa gị ya, nʼihi na ị bụ onye a na-akwanyere ugwu nke ukwuu. Ya mere, tụgharịa uche nʼokwu a, ghọtakwa ọhụ a.
24 Seuentie weekes are determined vpon thy people and vpon thine holy citie, to finish the wickednes, and to seale vp the sinnes, and to reconcile the inquitie, and to bring in euerlasting righteousnesse, and to seale vp the vision and prophecie, and to anoynt the most Holy.
“Iri izu ụka asaa, ka e dere nʼiwu nye ndị gị na obodo nsọ gị iji kwụsị njehie, ime ka mmehie kwụsị, na ịchụ aja maka ikpuchi ajọ omume na iweta ezi omume nke ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, na ịkachi ọhụ na amụma ahụ akara, nakwa ite Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ mmanụ.
25 Knowe therefore and vnderstande, that from the going foorth of the commandement to bring againe the people, and to builde Ierusalem, vnto Messiah the prince, shall be seuen weekes and threescore and two weekes, and the streete shalbe built againe, and the wall euen in a troublous time.
“Ma mara, werekwa uche ghọta nke a: Site nʼoge e nyere iwu ka e wugharịa Jerusalem tutu ruo mgbe Onye ahụ e tere mmanụ, onyendu ahụ ga-abịa, ga-abụ izu ụka asaa, na izu ụka iri isii na abụọ, a ga-ewughachi ya, na okporoụzọ ya, na olulu mmiri ya, maọbụ nʼime oge nsogbu.
26 And after threescore and two weekes, shall Messiah be slaine, and shall haue nothing, and the people of the prince that shall come, shall destroy the citie and the Sanctuarie, and the end thereof shalbe with a flood: and vnto the end of the battell it shalbe destroyed by desolations.
Mgbe izu ụka iri isii na abụọ gasịrị, Onye ahụ e tere mmanụ ka a ga-egbu, ma o nweghị ihe ọ ga-enwe. Usuu agha nke onye ọchịchị ga-abịa bibie obodo na ụlọnsọ. Oge ikpeazụ ga-abịa dịka idee mmiri; agha ga-adịgide ruo nʼoge ọgwụgwụ, e kpebiela na ịla nʼiyi ga-adị.
27 And he shall confirme the couenant with many for one weeke: and in the middes of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the ouerspreading of the abominations, he shall make it desolate, euen vntill the consummation determined shalbe powred vpon the desolate.
