< 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?
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, understood from the books the number of the years about which the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the completion of the desolation 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 turned to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, 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 I prayed to YHWH 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 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 done what is wrong and wicked, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your commandments and from your 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 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.
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 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.
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 YHWH, to us belongs open shame, to our kings, to our leaders, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
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 compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
A Senyè Bondye nou an, se Mizerikòd ak padon akoz nou te fè rebèl kont Li.
10 And have not obeyed the voice of YHWH 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 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.
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 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.
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 calamity has come on us. Yet have we not tried to gain the favor of YHWH our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in your 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 Therefore has YHWH watched over the calamity, and brought it on us, for YHWH our God is just in all he has done, and we have not obeyed 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, 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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 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 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 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."
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 While I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before YHWH 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 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.
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 He instructed me, and talked with me, and said, "Daniel, I have now come forth to give you wisdom and 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 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.
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 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.
“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 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.
“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 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.
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 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."
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.”
