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;
Nan premye ane Darius, fis a Assuérus, Mèd la, ki te vin wa sou wayòm a Kaldeyen yo—
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.
nan premye ane a règn pa li a, mwen menm, Daniel, mwen te konprann selon liv yo, nonb dèzane selon pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie, pwofèt la, pou ta fè akonplisman dezolasyon a Jérusalem yo, menm swasann-dis ane yo.
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Konsa, mwen te chache fas Senyè Bondye a, pou jwenn Li nan lapriyè ak siplikasyon, fè jèn ak twal sak ak sann.
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,
Mwen te priye a SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an. Mwen te konfese e mwen te di: “O SENYÈ, Gran Bondye ki etonnan la, ki kenbe akò ak mizerikòd li pou sila ki renmen Li, e ki swiv kòmandman Li yo,
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;
nou te peche; nou te komèt inikite. Nou te aji ak mechanste e nou te fè rebèl, jiskaske nou vire kite kòmandman Ou yo ak règleman Ou yo.
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.
Anplis, nou pa t koute sèvitè Ou yo, pwofèt yo, ki te pale nan non Ou, a wa nou yo, prens nou yo, papa zansèt nou yo, ak tout moun peyi a.
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.
Ladwati apatyen a Ou menm, O Senyè! Men a nou menm, gwo wont parèt byen klè, jan li ye jis rive nan jou sa a; a moun Juda yo, sila k ap viv Jérusalem, ak tout Israël yo, sila ki rete pre ak sila ki lwen, nan tout peyi kote Ou te chase yo ale akoz zak enfidèl ke yo te komèt kont Ou yo.
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.
O Senyè, gwo wont ak twoub byen klè se akoz nou, ak wa nou yo, prens nou yo, ak papa zansèt nou yo, akoz yo te peche kont Ou.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassions and forgivenesses; for we have rebelled against Him;
A Senyè Bondye nou an, se Mizerikòd ak padon akoz nou te fè rebèl kont Li.
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.
Ni nou pa t obeyi vwa SENYÈ Bondye nou an, pou mache nan enstriksyon ke Li te mete devan nou pa sèvitè Li yo, pwofèt yo.
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.
Anverite tout Israël te transgrese lalwa Ou a, te vire akote e pa t obeyi vwa Ou. Konsa, malediksyon te vide sou nou, ansanm ak sèman ki ekri nan lalwa Moïse, sèvitè Bondye a, paske nou te peche kont Li.
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.
Li te konfime pawòl ke Li te pale kont nou, e kont chèf ki te gouvène nou yo, pou fè vini sou nou yon gwo malè. Paske anba tout syèl la, pa t janm gen okenn bagay ki te fèt tankou sa ki te fèt Jérusalem nan.
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.
Jan sa ekri nan lalwa Moïse la, tout malè sa a te vini sou nou. Malgre sa, nou pa t chache gras a SENYÈ la, Bondye nou an, ak desizyon pou vire kite inikite nou, e vin okipe nou de verite pa Ou a.
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.
Akoz sa, SENYÈ a te kenbe malè nan men l, e te pote li sou nou. Paske, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, dwat nan tout zèv ke Li fè yo, men nou pa t obeyi vwa li.
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.
Konsa, Senyè, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen pèp Ou a sòti nan peyi Egypte la ak yon men pwisan, e te fè yon non pou Ou menm, jan sa ye nan jou sa a, nou te peche. Nou te fè mechanste.
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.
O Senyè, an akò ak tout zak ladwati Ou yo, kite gwo kòlè ak mekontantman Ou vire kite vil Ou a, Jérusalem, mòn sen Ou an. Paske, akoz peche nou yo ak inikite a papa zansèt nou yo, Jérusalem ak pèp Ou a te vin yon repwòch pou tout sila ki antoure nou yo.
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.
Pou sa, koulye a, Bondye nou an, koute lapriyè a sèvitè Ou a, ak siplikasyon li yo, e pou koz a Ou menm, O Senyè, kite fas ou briye sou sanktiyè dezole Ou a.
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.
O Bondye mwen an, apiye zòrèy W pou tande! Ouvri zye ou pou wè dezolasyon nou yo, ak vil la ki rele pa non Ou a; paske nou p ap prezante siplikasyon nou yo akoz okenn dwati de nou menm, men akoz gran mizerikòd Ou.
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.'
O Senyè, koute! O Senyè, padone! O Senyè, tande e aji! Pou koz pa Ou, O Bondye mwen an, pa fè reta. Paske vil Ou a, ak pèp Ou a rele pa non Ou.”
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;
Alò, pandan mwen t ap pale, e fè priyè a, pou m konfese peche m yo, ak peche a pèp mwen an, Israël, ak prezante siplikasyon mwen yo devan SENYÈ Bondye mwen an, pou mòn sen a Bondye mwen an—
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.
pandan mwen te toujou ap pale nan lapriyè a— alò, nonm nan Gabriel, ke m te wè nan vizyon oparavan an, te vole rive byen vit kote mwen, e te touche mwen vè lè pou ofrann nan aswè a.
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.
Li te ban mwen enstriksyon. Li te pale ak mwen e te di: “O Daniel, koulye a, mwen vin parèt pou bay sajès ak bon konprann.
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.
Nan kòmansman siplikasyon ou yo, lòd la te fin pase, e mwen vini pou di Ou, paske ou se byeneme. Konsa, prete atansyon a mesaj la pou vin konprann vizyon an.
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.
“Swasann-dis semèn te òdone pou pèp ou ak vil sen ou an, pou fini ak transgresyon, pou mete fen a peche yo, pou rekonsilye inikite yo, pou mennen fè antre ladwati ki san fen, pou mete so sou vizyon ak pwofesi, e pou onksyone lye ki sen pase tout la.
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.
“Konsa, ou ta dwe konnen e disène ke depi yon dekrè vin pibliye pou restore e rebati Jérusalem jis rive nan Onksyone a, Prens lan, va gen sèt semèn ak swasann-de semèn. Li va rebati ankò, ak plas la, e ak kanal ranpa a, menm nan yon tan ki twouble.
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.
Epi apre swasann-de semèn yo, Onksyone a va koupe retite nèt, e Li p ap gen anyen. E pèp a prens la ki vini an, va detwi vil ak sanktyè a. Epi lafen li an va vini ak yon inondasyon ak lagè jis rive nan lafèn. Konsa, dezolasyon yo deja detèmine.
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.'
Li va fè yon akò ki byen fò avèk anpil moun pandan yon semèn. Men nan mitan semèn nan, li va fè sispann sakrifis ak ofrann sereyal yo. Epi sou zèl abominasyon yo, va vini yon moun ki fè dezolasyon. Men lè l rive nan fen an nèt, ki deja detèmine, lakòlè va vide sou sila ki fè dezolasyon an.”
