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,
Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogwa Daliyo mutabani wa Akaswero Omumeedi, gwe yaliiramu obwakabaka bwa Bakaludaaya,
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;
mu mwaka ogwo ogw’olubereberye, nze Danyeri ne ntegeera amakulu ag’ebyawandiikibwa, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kiri kye yawa Yeremiya nnabbi, ng’okubonaabona kwa Yerusaalemi kulitwala emyaka nsanvu.
3 and I set my face toward the Lord God, to seek [by] prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Awo ne nkyukira Mukama Katonda ne nnoonya okubeerwa okuva gyali nga nsaba era nga neegayirira, nga nsiiba era nga nyambadde ebibukutu nga neesiize evvu.
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 nsaba Mukama Katonda wange ne mwatulira nti, “Ayi Mukama omukulu era ow’entiisa, akuuma endagaano ye so n’okwagala kwo tekujjulukuka eri abo bonna abakwagala era abagondera ebiragiro byo,
5 we have sinned, and done perversely, and done wickedly, and rebelled, to turn aside from Your commands, and from Your judgments:
twonoonye era tusobezza, tukoze eby’ekyejo n’eby’obujeemu, era
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.
tetwawuliriza baddu bo bannabbi, abaayogeranga mu linnya lyo eri bakabaka baffe, n’eri abalangira baffe, n’eri bajjajjaffe, n’eri abantu bonna ab’omu nsi.
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.
“Mukama oli mutukuvu, naye olunaku lwa leero tuswadde, abantu ba Yuda, n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi, ne Isirayiri yenna, abali okumpi n’abali ewala mu nsi zonna gye wabawaŋŋangusiriza olw’obutaba beesigwa gy’oli.
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.
Ayi Mukama, ffe ne bakabaka baffe, n’abalangira baffe, ne bajjajjaffe tuswadde kubanga twonoonye.
9 To the Lord our God [are] the mercies and the forgivenesses, for we have rebelled against Him,
Mukama Katonda waffe ajjudde okusaasira n’okusonyiwa, newaakubadde nga tumujeemedde,
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;
ne tutawuliriza ddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda waffe, newaakubadde okukuuma amateeka ge, ge yatuwa ng’ayita mu baddu be bannabbi.
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.
Isirayiri yenna bamenye amateeka go ne bakuvaako, era bakujeemedde. “Noolwekyo ebikolimo n’ebirayiro ebyawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Musa omuddu wa Mukama kyebivudde bitutuukako kubanga twayonoona mu maaso go.
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,
Otuukirizza ebigambo bye watwogerako, n’eri abakulembeze baffe, bw’otuleeseeko akabi akanene; era wansi w’eggulu tewabangawo kintu kinene bwe kityo ekyakolebwa, ng’ekyo ekituuse ku Yerusaalemi.
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.
Nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Musa, bwe bityo ebisobyo byonna bwe byatutuukako, naye ate nga tetunneegayirira kisa kya Mukama Katonda waffe, okulekayo ebikolwa byaffe ebitali bya butuukirivu tusseeyo omwoyo okugoberera amazima.
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.
Mukama kyeyava talwa kutuleetako buzibu obwo, kubanga Mukama Katonda waffe mutuukirivu mu buli ky’akola, naye tetugondedde ddoboozi lye.
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.
“Ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe eyaggya abantu bo mu nsi ey’e Misiri n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi ne weekolera erinnya, eryayatiikirira ne leero, twayonoona ne tukola ebitali bya butuukirivu.
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;
Ayi Mukama, ng’obutuukirivu bwo bwonna bwe buli, obusungu bwo n’ekiruyi kyo obiggye ku kibuga kyo Yerusaalemi, olusozi lwo olutukuvu, kubanga olw’ebibi byaffe n’ebikolwa byaffe ebitali bya butuukirivu ebya bajjajjaffe, tufuuse eky’okusekererwa eri abatwetoolodde bonna.
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.
“Kaakano, Ayi Katonda waffe, owulire okusaba n’okwegayirira kw’omuddu wo, olw’okusaasira kwo Ayi Mukama otunule eri ekifo kyo ekitukuvu.
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.
Ayi Katonda wange, otege okutu kwo owulirize, otunuulire okuzika kw’ekibuga ekyatuumibwa erinnya lyo, kubanga tetuleeta byetaago byaffe eri ggwe olw’obutuukirivu bwaffe, wabula olw’okusaasira kwo okungi.
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.
Ayi Mukama otuwulire! Ayi Mukama, otusonyiwe! Ayi Mukama otuwulire era obeeko ne ky’okolawo! Olw’okusaasira kwo, Ayi Katonda wange oleme okulwa, kubanga ekibuga kyo n’abantu bo n’eggwanga lyo bayitibwa Erinnya lyo.”
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,
Awo bwe nnali nga njogera era nga nsaba, nga njatula ebibi byange n’ebibi by’abantu bange Isirayiri, nga neegayirira Mukama Katonda wange ku lw’olusozi lwe olutukuvu,
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.
awo mu kiseera ekyo nga nkyasaba, omusajja Gabulyeri, gwe nalaba mu kwolesebwa okwasooka, n’ajja gye ndi mu mbuyaga ey’amaanyi mu kiseera ekya ssaddaaka ey’akawungeezi.
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;
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Danyeri, kaakano nzize okukuwa amagezi n’okutegeera.
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.
Amangu nga waakatandika okusaba, okwegayirira kwo kwaddibwamu era nzize okukutegeeza, kubanga oli mwagalwa nnyo. Noolwekyo ssaayo omwoyo eri ekigambo kino, otegeere bye wayolesebwa.
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.
“Wiiki nsavu ze ziweereddwa abantu bo n’ekibuga kyo ekitukuvu okukomya ebikolwa byabwe ebibi, n’okuleka ebibi, n’okutangiririrwa olw’ebikolwa ebitali bya butuukirivu, n’okuleeta obutuukirivu obutaliggwaawo, n’okukakasa ebyo ebyayolesebwa n’ebyo ebyalangibwa, n’okufuka amafuta ku asinga obutukuvu.
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.
“Manya era tegeera ng’okuva ne kaakano ekiragiro nga bwe kiweereddwa ku kuzzibwawo kwa Yerusaalemi n’okutuusa ku kujja okw’omufuzi oyo eyafukibwako amafuta, waliba ebbanga lya wiiki musanvu. N’oluvannyuma kirizimbibwa mu wiiki nkaaga mu bbiri ne kiteekebwamu enguudo n’olusalosalo, newaakubadde nga biriba biro bya kutegana.
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.
N’oluvannyuma lwa wiiki enkaaga mu ebbiri, eyafukibwako amafuta alisalibwako, era taliba na kintu. Abantu ab’omufuzi balijja ne bazikiriza ekibuga n’awatukuvu, n’enkomerero ye erijja ng’amataba, n’entalo era n’okuzika okwalagirwa biryeyongera okutuusa ku nkomerero.
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.”
Alikola endagaano enywevu n’abantu bangi okumala wiiki emu, naye wakati wa wiiki eyo aliggyawo emikolo gya ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo. Ne ku kiwaawaatiro eky’ebyemizizo kulijjirako oyo aleeta okubonaabona, okutuusa ekiseera eky’enkomerero ekyalagirwa nga kituukiridde ku ye.”
