< 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?
Na mobu ya liboso ya Dariusi, mwana mobali ya Kizerisesi, moko kati na bakitani ya bato ya Medi, oyo akomaki mokonzi ya mokili ya bato ya Babiloni;
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.
na mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi na ye, ngai, Daniele, nasosolaki, na nzela ya mikanda, kolanda liloba oyo Yawe apesaki na mosakoli Jeremi, ete kobebisama ya engumba Yelusalemi esengeli kosala mibu tuku sambo.
3 And I turned to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
Boye, nabalolaki elongi na ngai epai na Nkolo Nzambe mpo na kosambela mpe kobondela Ye, na kokila bilei, na kolata basaki mpe na komipakola putulu.
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.
Nasambelaki Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpe natubelaki: « Nkolo, Nzambe monene mpe Nzambe ya nguya, Yo oyo obatelaka boyokani na Yo ya bolingo, elongo na bato nyonso oyo balingaka Yo mpe batosaka mibeko na 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.
solo, tosalaki masumu mpe mabe na miso na Yo, totambolaki lokola bato mabe mpe batomboki, topesaki mibeko mpe mitindo na Yo mokongo.
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.
Toyokelaki te basali na Yo, basakoli, oyo balobaki na Kombo na Yo epai ya bakonzi na biso, bakambi na biso, bakoko na biso mpe epai ya bato nyonso ya mokili.
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.
Nkolo, ozali sembo; kasi biso, lelo, tolatisami na soni: bato ya Yuda, bavandi ya Yelusalemi mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele, ezala ba-oyo bazali pembeni to ba-oyo bazali mosika, kati na mikili nyonso epai wapi opanzaki biso mpo ete tozangaki boyengebene liboso na Yo!
8 YHWH, to us belongs open shame, to our kings, to our leaders, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
Yawe, biso, bakonzi na biso, bakambi na biso mpe bakoko na biso, tolatisami na soni mpo ete tosalaki masumu liboso na Yo.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
Kasi Yo Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, otonda na mawa mpe olimbisaka, atako biso, totombokelaki Yo.
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.
Totosaki te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, to tobatelaki te mibeko oyo opesaki biso na nzela ya basali na Yo, basakoli.
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.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele babukaki Mobeko na Yo, bapesaki yango mokongo mpe baboyaki kotosa Yo. Mpo na yango, bilakeli mabe mpe bitumbu oyo ekomama kati na Mobeko ya Moyize, mosali na Nzambe, esopanelaki biso, mpo ete tosalaki masumu liboso na Yo.
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.
Wana otindeli biso pasi makasi oyo, okokisi penza maloba oyo olobaki mpo na kotelemela biso mpe bakambi na biso; mpe pasi oyo ekweyeli Yelusalemi etikala nanu kosalema te kati na mokili mobimba.
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.
Kolanda ndenge kaka ekomama kati na Mobeko ya Moyize, pasi yango nyonso ekomeli biso; mpe tobondelaki te Yawe, Nzambe na biso; totikaki te kosala masumu mpe tomipesaki te mpo na kososola bosolo na Yo.
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.
Yango wana, Yawe, olandeli pasi yango kino okweyiseli biso yango; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, ozali sembo kati na misala na Yo nyonso; kasi biso, totosaki Yo te.
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.
Sik’oyo, Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, Yo oyo obimisa bato na Yo na Ejipito na nzela ya loboko na Yo ya nguya mpe Kombo na Yo ekenda sango kino na mokolo ya lelo, tosalaki masumu, tosalaki mabe!
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.
Nkolo, nabondeli Yo, kolanda makambo nyonso oyo osalaka mpo na bosembo, kanda mpe kotomboka na Yo ezali kolongwa kati na engumba na Yo, Yelusalemi, ngomba na Yo ya bule! likolo ya masumu na biso mpe ya mabe ya bakoko na biso, Yelusalemi mpe bato na Yo bakomi eloko ya liseki na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bazingeli biso.
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.
Sik’oyo, Nzambe na biso, yoka losambo mpe mabondeli na ngai, mosali na Yo! Mpo na lokumu na Yo, Nkolo, tala na miso ya ngolu Esika na Yo ya bule oyo ebebi!
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.
Nzambe na ngai, defisa ngai litoyi na Yo mpe yoka ngai na bokebi! Fungola miso na Yo mpe mona kobebisama ya bisika na biso mpe ya engumba oyo mpo na bolamu na yango. Ngai, nazali kobelela Kombo na Yo! Ezali te mpo tozali sembo, kasi ezali nde mpo na mawa monene na Yo nde tozali kobondela Yo!
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."
Nkolo, yoka! Nkolo, limbisa! Nkolo, yoka na bokebi! Sala, kowumela te, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo moko, Nzambe na ngai! Pamba te ngai, nazali kobelela Kombo na Yo mpo na bolamu ya engumba mpe ya bato na Yo! »
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,
Wana nazalaki koloba mpe kosambela, kotubela masumu na ngai mpe ya bato na ngai, Isalaele, mpe kobondela Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpo na bolamu ya ngomba ya bule ya Nzambe na ngai;
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.
wana nazalaki nanu koloba, kati na losambo, Gabrieli, moto oyo namonaki liboso kati na emoniseli, ayaki epai na ngai na lombangu, na tango ya makabo ya pokwa.
22 He instructed me, and talked with me, and said, "Daniel, I have now come forth to give you wisdom and understanding.
Apesaki ngai malako, alobaki: « Daniele, nayei sik’oyo mpo na kopesa yo bososoli mpe mayele.
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.
Tango kaka obandaki kobondela, liloba moko ebimaki; mpe ngai, nayei koyebisa yo yango, pamba te ozali molingami ya Nzambe. Yamba liloba mpe sosola emoniseli:
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.
Eleko moko ya baposo tuku sambo ekatamaki mpo na bato na yo mpe mpo na engumba na yo ya bule, mpo na kosilisa botomboki liboso ya Nzambe mpe kosukisa masumu, mpo na kolimbisa masumu mpe kokokisa bosembo ya libela, mpo na kokangisa emoniseli mpe mosakoli, mpe mpo na kobulisa Mosantu ya basantu.
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.
Yeba mpe sosola makambo oyo: wuta tango lisakoli ya kobongisa mpe ya kotonga lisusu Yelusalemi ebimaki kino koya ya mokonzi, Ye oyo azwaki epakolami, ekosala baposo sambo mpe baposo tuku motoba na mibale. Engumba ekotongama lisusu elongo na nzela mpe bamir na yango oyo batonga makasi.
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.
Sima na baposo tuku motoba na mibale, bakoboma Ye oyo azwaki epakolami, atako asalaki na ye mabe ata moko te. Bato ya mokambi oyo azali koya bakobebisa engumba mpe Esika ya bule, mpe suka na yango ekoya lokola mpela; bongo kino suka ya bitumba ekoma, kobebisama ekozala mpo ete mokano na yango esili kozwama.
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."
Na poso moko, akosala boyokani moko elenda elongo na bato ebele; kasi na kati-kati ya poso yango, akosukisa bambeka mpe makabo. Likolo ya kobomba makambo ya nkele, mobebisi moko akobima kino tango libebi oyo ekatama mpo na mobebisi ekokokisama. »
