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;
Mʼchaka choyamba cha Dariyo mwana wa Ahasiwero (wochokera kwa Amedi), amene anakhala mfumu ya ku Babuloni,
2 in the first year of his reign I Daniel meditated in the books, over the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish for the desolations of Jerusalem seventy years.
ine Danieli ndinazindikira powerenga mawu a Yehova opatsidwa kwa mneneri Yeremiya, kuti Yerusalemu adzakhala bwinja kwa zaka 70.
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Choncho ndinatembenukira kwa Ambuye Mulungu ndipo ndinamudandaulira ndi kupempha posala kudya, ndi kuvala chiguduli ndi kudzola phulusa.
4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made confession, and said: 'O Lord, the great and awful God, who keepest covenant and mercy with them that love Thee and keep Thy commandments,
Ndinapemphera kwa Yehova Mulungu wanga ndi kuvomereza kuti tinachimwa: Ndinati, “Inu Ambuye, Mulungu wamkulu ndi woopsa, amene mumasunga pangano lanu la chikondi kwa onse amene amakukondani ndi kumvera malamulo anu,
5 we have sinned, and have dealt iniquitously, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, and have turned aside from Thy commandments and from Thine ordinances;
tachimwa ndipo tachita zolakwa ndi zoyipa. Takuwukirani posiya malangizo ndi malamulo anu.
6 neither have we hearkened unto Thy servants the prophets, that spoke in Thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Sitinamvere aneneri atumiki anu, amene anayankhula mʼdzina lanu kwa mafumu athu, kwa akalonga athu, makolo athu, ndi kwa anthu onse a mʼdziko.
7 Unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth 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, through all the countries whither Thou hast driven them, because they dealt treacherously with Thee.
“Ambuye ndinu olungama, koma lero tili ndi manyazi, ife anthu a ku Yuda, a ku Yerusalemu ndi Israeli yense, apafupi ndi akutali omwe, ku mayiko onse kumene munatipirikitsira chifukwa cha kusakhulupirika kwathu.
8 O LORD, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee.
Inu Yehova, ife ndi mafumu athu, akalonga athu ndi makolo athu tili ndi manyazi chifukwa takuchimwirani.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassions and forgivenesses; for we have rebelled against Him;
Ambuye Mulungu wathu ndi wachifundo ndi wokhululuka, ngakhale kuti tamuwukira:
10 neither have we hearkened to the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.
Ife sitinamvere Yehova Mulungu wathu kapena kusunga malamulo ake amene anatipatsa kudzera mwa aneneri atumiki ake.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed Thy law, and have turned aside, so as not to hearken to Thy voice; and so there hath been poured out upon us the curse and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against Him.
Aisraeli onse anachimwira lamulo lanu motero anapatuka, nakana kukumverani. “Choncho matemberero ndi olumbira amene alembedwa mʼmalamulo a Mose, mtumiki wa Mulungu, atigwera chifukwa takuchimwirani.
12 And He hath confirmed His word, which He spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
Inu mwakwaniritsa mawu amene munayankhula otitsutsa ife ndi otsutsa otilamulira potibweretsera tsoka lalikulu. Pa dziko lapansi sipanachitikenso zinthu ngati zimene zaonekera Yerusalemu.
13 As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet have we not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in Thy truth.
Monga kunalembedwa mʼMalamulo a Mose, tsoka lililonse latifikira chikhalirecho sitinapemphe Yehova Mulungu wathu kuti atikomere mtima. Sitinasiye machimo athu, ndipo sitinasamale choonadi chanu.
14 And so the LORD hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all His works which He hath done, and we have not hearkened to His voice.
Choncho Yehova anakonza kuti atigwetsere tsoka limeneli, ndipo wachitadi popeza Yehova Mulungu wathu ndi wolungama mu chilichonse amachita; chikhalirecho ife sitinamumvere.
15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought Thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten Thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
“Inu Ambuye Mulungu wathu, munatulutsa anthu anu ku Igupto ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu ndipo dzina lanu ndi lotchuka mpaka lero. Ife tachimwa, tachita zolakwa.
16 O Lord, according to all Thy righteousness, let Thine anger and Thy fury, I pray Thee, be turned away from Thy city Jerusalem, Thy holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
Inu Ambuye, molingana ndi zochita zanu zolungama, tikukupemphani kuti muchotse mkwiyo ndi ukali wanu pa Yerusalemu mzinda wanu, phiri lanu loyera. Machimo athu ndi mphulupulu za makolo athu zachititsa kuti onse otizungulira atonze Yerusalemu ndi anthu anu.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hearken unto 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.
“Tsopano Mulungu wathu, imvani mapemphero ndi zopempha za mtumiki wanu. Kuti anthu onse akudziweni kuti ndinu Ambuye, komerani mtima malo anu opatulika amene asanduka bwinja.
18 O my God, incline Thine ear, and hear; open Thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city upon which Thy name is called; for we do not present our supplications before Thee because of our righteousness, but because of Thy great compassions.
Tcherani khutu, Inu Mulungu, ndipo imvani; tsekulani maso anu ndipo onani mabwinja athu ndi mzinda umene umadziwika ndi dzina lanu. Sitikupempha chifukwa chakuti ndife olungama, koma chifukwa cha kukula kwa chifundo chanu.
19 O Lord, hear, O Lord, forgive, O Lord, attend and do, defer not; for Thine own sake, O my God, because Thy name is called upon Thy city and Thy people.'
Inu Ambuye imvani mawu athu! Ambuye khululukani! Ambuye timvereni, ndipo muchitepo kanthu! Kuti anthu adziwe kuti Inu ndinu Mulungu wanga musachedwe chifukwa mzinda wanu ndi anthu anu amadziwika ndi dzina lanu.”
20 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
Ndikuyankhula ndi kupemphera, kuvomereza machimo anga ndi machimo a anthu anga Aisraeli ndi kupempherera phiri lake loyera kwa Yehova Mulungu wanga,
21 yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, approached close to me about the time of the evening offering.
Gabrieli, munthu uja amene ndinamuona mʼmasomphenya poyambirira, anabwera kwa ine mowuluka. Iyi inali nthawi ya nsembe ya madzulo.
22 And he made me to understand, and talked with me, and said: 'O Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding.
Anandilangiza kuti, “Danieli ndabwera tsopano kuti ndikupatse nzeru kuti uzitha kumvetsa zinthu.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications a word went forth, and I am come to declare it; for thou art greatly beloved; therefore look into the word, and understand the vision.
Utangoyamba kupemphera, Mulungu anayankha. Tsono ine ndabwera kudzakuwuza yankholo, popeza ndiwe wokondedwa kwambiri. Choncho mvetsetsa pamene ndikufotokoza za zinthu zimene unaziona mʼmasomphenya.
24 Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to forgive iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint the most holy place.
“Zaka 490 zinayikidwa kuti anthu a mtundu wako ndi mzinda wanu woyera aleke zoyipa, asiye tchimo. Iwo adzapereka dipo kupepesera zolakwa zawo. Zikadzatero anthu adzaonetsa moyo wachilungamo nthawi zonse. Izi zidzatsimikiza zimene unaziona mʼmasomphenya zija ndi zimene ananenera aneneri. Malo opatulika adzakhazikitsidwa.
25 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto one anointed, a prince, shall be seven weeks; and for threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with broad place and moat, but in troublous times.
“Tsono udziwe ndipo uzindikire izi kuti kuyambira pamene lamulo linaperekedwa kuti Yerusalemu akonzedwenso mpaka pamene mfumu Yodzozedwa idzafike padzapita zaka 49. Pa zaka 434 mzinda wa Yerusalemu udzamangidwanso, ndipo mabwalo ndi ngalande zake zidzatetezedwa. Koma nthawiyi idzakhala ya masautso.
26 And after the threescore and two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and be no more; and the people of a prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; but his end shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Patatha zaka 434, Wodzozedwayo adzaphedwa ndipo sadzakhala ndi aliyense. Anthu a wolamulira amene adzabwere adzawononga mzinda ndi Nyumba ya Mulungu. Kutha kwake kudzafika ngati chigumula. Komabe nkhondo idzapitirira mpaka chiwonongeko chimene Mulungu ananeneratu chitachitika.
27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and upon the wing of detestable things shall be that which causeth appalment; and that until the extermination wholly determined be poured out upon that which causeth appalment.'
Adzachita pangano lolimba ndi anthu ambiri kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri. Koma pakatinʼpakati pa sabata limodzilo iye adzaletsa kupereka nsembe ndi chopereka. Chonyansa chosakaza chija adzachiyika mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo chidzakhalapobe mpaka wochita zimenezi atalangidwa ndi chiwonongeko chimene Mulungu ananeneratu.”
