< Daniel 9 >
1 In the first year of Daryavesh the son of Achashyerosh, of Median descent, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans—
Lè sa a, wa Dariyis, moun peyi Medi, pitit wa Egzèsès la, t'ap mache sou ennan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Babilòn.
2 in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood from the books the number of the years about which the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the completion of the desolation of Jerusalem, seventy years.
Mwen menm Danyèl, mwen t'ap etidye liv Bondye yo. Mwen t'ap kalkile sou swasanndizan lavil Jerizalèm te gen pou l' rete kraze a, jan Seyè a te di l' nan bouch pwofèt Jeremi an.
3 And I turned to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
Mwen leve je m' nan syèl la pou m' lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye a, ak tout kè m'. Mwen t'ap kriye nan pye l', mwen te rete san manje, yon rad sak sou mwen. Mwen te chita sou sann dife.
4 I prayed to the LORD my God, and made this confession, "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments.
Mwen lapriyè nan pye Seyè a, Bondye mwen an. Mwen louvri kè m' ba li, mwen mande l' padon pou pèp mwen an. Mwen di: -Seyè, Bondye, ou gen gwo pouvwa, tout moun fèt pou gen krentif pou ou. Ou kenbe pwomès ou, ou pa janm sispann renmen moun ki renmen ou epi ki kenbe kòmandman ou yo.
5 We have sinned, and have done what is wrong and wicked, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your commandments and from your ordinances.
Nou peche, nou fè mechanste, nou fè sa ki mal, nou vire do ba ou, nou pa fè sa ou te mande nou fè, ni sa ou te ban nou lòd fè.
6 Neither have we listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Nou pa t' koute pwofèt yo, sèvitè ou yo, ki te pale nan non ou ak wa nou yo, chèf nou yo, zansèt nou yo ak tout pèp nan peyi nou an.
7 Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us open shame, 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, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds that they have committed against you.
Ou menm, Seyè, tou sa ou fè dwat. Men, nou tout moun peyi Jida, moun lavil Jerizalèm, tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl ou te gaye nan peyi pre ak peyi lwen yo, se wont nou toujou wont sa nou fè, tankou jòdi a, paske nou pa t' kenbe pawòl nou avè ou.
8 LORD, to us belongs open shame, to our kings, to our leaders, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
Wi, Seyè, se yon wont pou nou tout, wa nou yo, chèf nou yo, zansèt nou yo, paske nou te fè sa ki mal devan ou.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
Ou menm Seyè, Bondye nou, ou gen bon kè, ou konn padonnen paske nou menm nou te vire do ba ou.
10 And have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
Nou pa t' koute ou, Seyè Bondye nou, pou nou te viv dapre lòd ou te ban nou nan bouch pwofèt yo, sèvitè ou yo.
11 Yes, all Israel has transgressed your law, and turned away, refusing to obey your voice. Therefore has the curse been poured out on us, and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you.
Tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt pa t' swiv lòd ou. Yo pran chemen kwochi, yo pa koute ou lè ou te pale yo. Se konsa tout madichon ak tout malè ki te ekri nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè ou la, tonbe sou nou, paske nou te fè sa ki mal devan ou.
12 He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our rulers who ruled us, by bringing on us a great calamity; for under the whole heaven such has not been done as has been done on Jerusalem.
Ou te fè tou sa ou te di w'ap fè nou ansanm ak chèf ki t'ap gouvènen nou yo. Ou voye yon sèl malè sou lavil Jerizalèm, malè ki patko janm rive sou latè.
13 As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us. Yet have we not tried to gain the favor of the LORD our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in your truth.
Jan sa te ekri nan liv lalwa Moyiz la, tout malè sa a tonbe sou nou. Men, menm apre sa, nou pa t' chache fè ou plezi, Seyè Bondye nou. Nou pa t' sispann fè sa ki mal pou nou te swiv verite ou la.
14 Therefore has the LORD watched over the calamity, and brought it on us, for the LORD our God is just in all he has done, and we have not obeyed his voice.
Wi, Seyè Bondye nou, ou te pare pou pini nou, ou pini nou vre, paske ou toujou fè sa ki dwat. Se nou ki pa koute lè ou te pale nou.
15 "And now, Lord our God, who has brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have made a name for yourself, even to this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
Koulye a, Seyè Bondye nou, ou te fè pèp ou a soti kite peyi Lejip ak fòs ponyèt ou. Jouk jounen jòdi a y'ap nonmen non ou pou sa. Men, nou menm nou peche, nou fè sa ki mal.
16 Lord, according to all your righteousness, let your anger and please let your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around us.
Seyè, ou te toujou pran defans nou nan tan lontan. Tanpri, pa fache, pa move sou lavil Jerizalèm ankò. Se mòn pa ou la, se mòn ki apa pou ou a li ye. Tout moun k'ap viv nan peyi tou kole ak nou yo ap pase ni lavil Jerizalèm ni pèp ou a nan betiz, poutèt peche nou yo ak mechanste zansèt nou yo te fè.
17 Now therefore, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and to his petitions, and cause your face to shine on your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
O Bondye papa nou! Tanpri, tande lapriyè sèvitè ou la ap fè nan pye ou. M'ap mande ou, tanpri souple, voye je ou sou tanp ou a ki fin kraze, pou tout moun ka konnen se Bondye ou ye.
18 My God, turn your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and see our desolation, and the city which is called by your name. For we do not present our petitions before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercy.
O Bondye, pare zòrèy ou pou tande nou! Voye je ou wè jan nou fini! Gade nan ki eta lavil ki pote non ou lan ye! Se pa paske nou fè anyen ki dwat ki fè n'ap lapriyè nan pye ou konsa. Men, se paske ou gen bon kè anpil.
19 Lord, hear. Lord, forgive. Lord, listen and take action. Do not delay, for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name."
Seyè, koute nou non! Seyè, padonnen nou! Seyè, louvri zòrèy ou! Fè kichòy! Pa mize, pou tout moun ka konnen se Bondye ou ye! Lavil la ansanm ak pèp la se pou ou yo ye. Se pou yo m'ap lapriyè.
20 While I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God,
Mwen t'ap pale toujou nan lapriyè a, mwen t'ap rekonèt peche m' yo ak peche pèp Izrayèl la, pèp mwen an devan Bondye. Mwen t'ap mande Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, gras mizèrikòd pou mòn ki apa pou li a.
21 while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came to me in my weariness about the time of the evening sacrifice.
Wi, mwen t'ap pale toujou nan lapriyè a, lè Gabriyèl, zanj mwen te wè nan premye vizyon an, vole desann kote mwen te ye a. Se lè yo te konn fè ofrann bèt aswè a.
22 He instructed me, and talked with me, and said, "Daniel, I have now come forth to give you wisdom and understanding.
Li vini, li pale avè m'. Li di m' konsa: -Danyèl, koulye a mwen vin la a pou m' ede ou konprann mesaj la.
23 At the beginning of your petitions the commandment went forth, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.
Depi lè ou te fèk konmanse ap lapriyè nan pye Bondye a, li te gen tan reponn ou. Se mesaj sa a mwen vin fè ou konnen. Ou se yon moun Bondye renmen anpil. Koulye a, louvri zòrèy ou pou ou ka konprann sans vizyon an byen.
24 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to put an end to the transgression, and to make an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place.
Sèt fwa swasanndizan an, se tan sa a Bondye fikse pou l' delivre pèp li a ansanm ak lavil ki apa pou li a anba peche ak mechanste. Lè lè sa a va rive, l'ap padonnen tout peche. Tout moun pral mache dwat pou tout tan. Konsa, tou sa yo te anonse nan vizyon an ak nan mesaj pwofèt la va rive. Yo pral mete lotèl la apa pou Bondye ankò.
25 Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem until the time of the Messiah, the Prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with open spaces and a moat, but in times of distress.
Konprann sa byen, louvri zòrèy ou. Depi lè yo te bay lòd pou yo te rebati Jerizalèm lan jouk lè chèf Bondye chwazi a va vini an, sèt fwa sètan pral pase. Yo pral rebati Jerizalèm avèk wout li yo ak miray ranpa li yo. Lavil la pral kanpe pou sèt fwa swasanndezan, men pandan tout tan sa a, moun pral anba anpil tray.
26 After the sixty-two weeks the Messiah shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of a ruler who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and his end shall come with a flood, and until the end there shall be war; desolations are decreed.
Apre sèt fwa swasanndezan sa yo, yo pral touye chèf Bondye te chwazi a san rezon. Yon lòt chèf ap vini sot byen lwen, l'ap detwi lavil la ansanm ak Tanp lan. Tout bagay pral rete konsa, y'ap fini tankou lè gwo dlo desann. Lè sa a, pral gen lagè ak ravaj jan Bondye te pare l' la.
27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who destroys, and even until a complete destruction, until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys."
Chèf sa a pral siyen yon kontra solid avèk anpil lòt pèp pandan sètan. Men, sou twazan sis mwa l'ap fè yo sispann touye bèt ak fè ofrann pou Bondye. Yo pral mete bagay nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan chita byen wo nan Tanp lan. L'ap rete la jouk moun ki va mete l' la a va kontre ak bout li, jan Bondye pare sa pou li a.
