< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first year of Darius the son of Achashverosh, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
Darius mwet Mede, su wen natul Xerxes, el pa leumi tokosrai lun Babylonia.
2 In the first year of his reign, I Daniel searched in the books for understanding concerning the number of the years whereof the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would let pass full seventy years over the ruins of Jerusalem.
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 And I directed my face unto the Lord God, to ask by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and in sackcloth, and ashes.
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 And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepeth the covenant and kindness to those that love him, and to those that keep his 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 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, and have departed from thy commandments and from thy ordinances;
“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 Nor have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
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 Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us belongeth the shame of face, as it is this day, —to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, those that are near, and those that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass which they have trespassed against thee.
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 O Lord, to us belongeth the shame of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers; because we have sinned against thee.
Tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, oayapa mwet matu lasr su somla, elos oru na mwe akmwekin ac orekma koluk lain kom, LEUM GOD.
9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and pardonings; for we have rebelled against him;
Kom pakoten ac ku na in nunak munas, kut finne likkeke nu sum.
10 And we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through means of his 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 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have departed so as not to obey thy voice: therefore was poured out over us the curse, with the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God; because we had sinned against him.
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 And he hath accomplished his words, which he had spoken concerning us, and concerning our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil, which was never done under the whole heaven as it hath been done in Jerusalem.
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 As it is written in the law of Moses; all this evil came over us: yet offered we not any entreaty before the Lord our God, to return from our iniquities, and to become intelligent in thy 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 Therefore did the Lord watch over the evil, and he brought it upon us; for the Lord our God is righteous because of all his deeds which he hath done; but we have not obeyed his voice.
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 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 thyself a [great] name, as it is this day: we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
“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 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thy anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; because through our sins, and through the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all who are round about us.
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 And now listen, O our God, to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for the sake of the Lord.
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 Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear; open thy eyes, and look on our desolations, and the city whereupon thy name is called: for not [relying] on our acts of righteousness do we present humbly our supplications before thee, but [relying] on thy great mercies.
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 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do it; delay it not; for thy own sake, O my God; for thy name is called upon thy city and upon thy people.
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 And while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication humbly before the Lord my God because of the holy mountain of my God:
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 Yea, while I was yet speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came, flying swiftly, near me about the time of the evening oblation.
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 And he gave me understanding, and spoke with me, and said, O Daniel, now am I come forth to make thee intelligent with understanding.
El fahk nu sik, “Daniel, nga tuku in sot nu sum lalmwetmet ac etauk.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the word went forth, and I am come to tell it; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and have understanding of the appearance.
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 are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to close up the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy thing.
“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 Know therefore and comprehend, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed the prince will be seven weeks: and during sixty and two weeks will it be again built with streets and ditches [around it], even in the pressure of the 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 And after the sixty and two weeks will an anointed one be cut off without a successor to follow him: and the city and the sanctuary will the people of the prince that is coming destroy; but his end will come in a violent overthrow; but until the end of the war devastations are decreed [against it].
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 And he will make a strong covenant with the many for one week; and in the half of the week will he cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and this because of the prevalence of the abominations which bringeth devastation, and until destruction and what is decreed shall be poured out upon the waster.
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.”
