< Daniel 9 >

1 “In the first year of Darius, son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who has been made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
E higa mokwongo mar Darius wuod Ahasuerus (ma ja-Media), mane en ruodh Babulon duto,
2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, have understood by scrolls the number of the years (in that a word of YHWH has been to Jeremiah the prophet), concerning the fulfilling of the desolations of Jerusalem—seventy years;
an Daniel nafwenyo tiend Ndiko, kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye mane oyudo osemiyo Janabi Jeremia, ni kethruok mar Jerusalem biro tieko higni piero abiriyo.
3 and I set my face toward the Lord God, to seek [by] prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Omiyo ne adhi ir Ruoth Nyasaye ka alamo, ka aywakne kendo ka ariyo kech, kendo ne arwako law kuyo ka abukora gi buru.
4 And I pray to my God YHWH, and confess, and say: Ah, now, O Lord God, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and the kindness to those loving Him and to those keeping His commands;
Ne alamo Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha kendo ne ahulo richona kama: “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye maduongʼ kendo malich, Nyasaye marito singruokne mar hera gi ji duto mohere kendo morito chikene,
5 we have sinned, and done perversely, and done wickedly, and rebelled, to turn aside from Your commands, and from Your judgments:
wasetimo richo kendo wasetimo marach. Wasetimo timbe maricho kendo wasengʼanyo; waselokore waweyo yoreni gi chikeni.
6 and we have not listened to Your servants, the prophets, who have spoken in Your Name to our kings, our heads, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Ok wasechiko itwa ne jotichni ma jonabi mane owuoyo gi ruodhi mawa gi yawuot ruodhi kod wuonewa, gi jopinywa duto, e nyingi.
7 To You, O Lord, [is] the righteousness, and to us the shame of face, as [at] this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, in all the lands to where You have driven them, in their trespass that they have trespassed against You.
“Ruoth Nyasaye, to wan jo-Juda, joma odak Jerusalem kod jo-Israel, modak machiegni kod modak maboyo, e pinje duto misekeyowae wichkuot osemakowa kawuononi, nikech wasebedoni joma ok jo-ratiro.
8 O Lord, to us [is] the shame of face, to our kings, to our heads, and to our fathers, in that we have sinned against You.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, wan kaachiel gi ruodhi mawa, gi yawuot ruodhi, kod wuonewa, wichkuot omakowa nikech waseketho e nyimi.
9 To the Lord our God [are] the mercies and the forgivenesses, for we have rebelled against Him,
Ruoth Nyasachwa kecho ji kendo oweyo ne ji richogi, kata obedo ni wasengʼanyone kamano;
10 and have not listened to the voice of our God YHWH, to walk in His laws, that He has set before us by the hand of His servants the prophets;
ok waseluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, kata rito chike mane omiyowa kokalo kuom jotichne ma jonabi.
11 and all Israel has transgressed Your law, to turn aside so as not to listen to Your voice; and poured on us is the execration, and the oath, that is written in the Law of Moses, servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.
Jo-Israel duto oseweyo luwo chikeni, kendo giseluwo yoregi giwegi, mi gidagi luori. “Kuom mano kwongʼ kod ngʼado bura mane osingi mondiki e kitap Chik Musa, ma jatich Nyasaye, oseol kuomwa, nikech wasetimo richo e nyimi.
12 And He confirms His words that He has spoken against us, and against our judges who have judged us, to bring great calamity on us, in that it has not been done under the whole heavens as it has been done in Jerusalem,
Masira maduongʼ mane iwacho ni inikel kuomwa kaachiel gi jatendwa isetimo. E bwo polo onge gima osetim machalo gi gima osetimore ne Jerusalem, e piny duto.
13 as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil has come on us, and we have not appeased the face of our God YHWH to turn back from our iniquities, and to act wisely in Your truth.
Masichegi duto osebiro kuomwa, mana kaka ondiki e Chik Musa, to kata kamano pok wakwayo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa ngʼwono, ka walokore waweyo richowa kendo waketo chunywa mar luwo adiera mare.
14 And YHWH watches for the evil, and brings it on us, for our God YHWH is righteous concerning all His works that He has done, and we have not listened to His voice.
Jehova Nyasaye ok osedeko mar kelo masira kuomwa, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nikare e gik moko duto motimo; kata obedo ni wasedagi winje kamano.
15 And now, O Lord our God, who has brought forth Your people from the land of Egypt by a strong hand, and makes for Yourself a name as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
“Yaye Ruoth Nyasachwa, in mane igolo jogi e piny Misri gi teko mari, kendo imiyo nyingi obedo gi duongʼ mosiko nyaka kawuono, wasetimo richo e nyimi kendo wasetimo marach.
16 O Lord, according to all Your righteous acts, please let Your anger and Your fury turn back from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain, for by our sins, and by the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people [are] for a reproach to all our neighbors;
Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, kaluwore gi gik moko duto makare mitimo, yie iwe bedo gi mirima kod gero gi Jerusalem dalani maduongʼ kendo godi maler. Richowa gi timbe mamono mag kwerewa osemiyo Jerusalem kod jogi obedo joma ijaro gi jogo modak mokiewo kodwa.
17 and now, listen, O our God, to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, and cause Your face to shine on Your sanctuary that [is] desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
“Koro Nyasachwa, winj lamo gi kwayo mar jatichni. Nikech nyingi, yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, yie itim ngʼwono mondo kari maler mar lemo ochak oger.
18 Incline, O my God, Your ear, and hear, open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city on which Your Name is called; for not for our righteous acts are we causing our supplications to fall before You, but for Your mercies that [are] many.
Chik iti, yaye Nyasaye, mondo iwinj kwayowa, kendo ineye kaka dala maduongʼ mochungʼ kar nyingi okethore. Ok waketni kwayogi nikech wan joma kare, to watimo kamano nikech kechni maduongʼ.
19 O Lord, hear, O Lord, forgive; O Lord, attend and do; do not delay, for Your own sake, O my God, for Your Name is called on Your city, and on Your people.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie iwinjwa! Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie iwenwa! Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, winjwa kendo ikonywa ma ok ideko, nikech dalani maduongʼ kod jogi miluongo gi nyingi.”
20 And while I am speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and causing my supplication to fall before my God YHWH, for the holy mountain of my God,
Kane pod awuoyo kendo alamo, ka ahulo richona kaachiel gi richo mag joga ma jo-Israel, kendo kane pod aketo kwayona ne Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha kuom gode maler, kendo
21 indeed, while I am speaking in prayer, then that one Gabriel, whom I had seen in vision at the commencement, being caused to fly swiftly, is coming to me at the time of the evening present.
kane pod anie lamo, Gabriel, ngʼat mane oyudo aseneno e fweny motelo, nobiro ira ka huyo matek kar seche mitime misengni mag odhiambo.
22 And he gives understanding, and speaks with me, and says, O Daniel, now I have come forth to cause you to consider understanding wisely;
Ne owuoyo koda kowachona niya, “Daniel, koro asebiro mondo amiyi ngʼeyo tiend fweny.
23 at the commencement of your supplications the word has come forth, and I have come to declare [it], for you [are] greatly desired, and understand concerning the matter, and consider concerning the appearance.
E sa ma ne ichakoe lemo, ema nodwoki, omiyo asebiro mondo anyisigo, nikech in ngʼat moher ahinya. Kuom mano, koro chik iti mondo iwinj tiend fwenyno:
24 Seventy periods of seven are determined for your people and for your holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in continuous righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the Holy of Holies.
“Higni mia angʼwen gi piero ochiko en kar romb kinde moseketi ne jou kendo ne dalau maler mondo otiek ketho mondo one ni richo orumo mondo opwodh ji kuom richo. Osechiw thuolono mondo tim makare mochwere obi, mondo oum fweny kod koro, kendo mondo owir Kama Ler Moloyo.
25 And you know, and consider wisely, from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem until Messiah the Leader [is] seven periods of seven, and sixty-two periods of seven: the broad place has been built again, and the rampart, even in the distress of the times.
“Kuom mano bed kingʼeyo kendo kiwinjo tiend wachni kama: Chakre chiengʼ mane ogolie chik mondo ochak oger Jerusalem, nyaka chop biro mar Jal Mowir, ma Ruoth, biro bedo kinde maromo higni mia angʼwen gi piero ochiko kod higni mia angʼwen gi piero adek gangʼwen. Ibiro gere kendo, ka en gi yorene mag dala kod buche matut molwore, to nogere e kinde mag chandruok.
26 And after the sixty-two periods of seven, Messiah is cut off, but not for Himself, and the people of the leader who is coming destroy the city and the holy place; and its end [is] with a flood, and until the end [is] war, [and] desolations [are] determined.
Bangʼ higni mia angʼwen gi piero adek gangʼwen Jal Mowir noneg kayiem nono. Jatelo moro nobi manoketh dala maduongʼ gi kama ler mar lemo. Giko nobi mamuomore ka ohula maduongʼ kendo lweny kod masiche madongo dongo nobedie mana kaka Nyasaye nosechano.
27 And he has strengthened a covenant with many [for] one period of seven, and [in] the midst of the period of seven he causes sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even until the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.”
Obiro timo winjruok gi ji mangʼeny kuom kinde maromo higni abiriyo. To e nus mar higni abiriyogo, enomi ji we timo misengini kod kelo chiwo. Gima kwero makelo kethruok nochungʼ e osuch hekalu, nyaka ngʼat mane okete kanyo chop e giko mane Nyasaye oketone.”
