Daniel 9
1 In the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, —who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans:
Nʼafọ mbụ, nke Daraiọs nwa Ahasuerọs (onye agbụrụ Midia), onye e mere eze nke alaeze ndị Kaldịa,
2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived by the writings, —the number of the years, as to which the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah the prophet, to fulfil the desolations of Jerusalem, seventy years.
nʼafọ mbụ nke ọchịchị ya, ka mụ onwe m, bụ Daniel ghọtara site nʼakwụkwọ, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Jeremaya onye amụma, nke ga-emezu mgbe Jerusalem ga-anọ na mbibi iri afọ asaa.
3 So I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek [him] by prayer, and supplication, —with fasting, and sackcloth and ashes;
Nʼihi nke a, echere m Onyenwe anyị Chineke ihu, rịọ ya arịrịọ, site nʼekpere na arịrịọ amara, nʼibu ọnụ, na iyikwa akwa mkpe na ntụ.
4 yea I prayed unto Yahweh my God, and made confession, —and said—I beseech thee, O Lord, the GOD great and to be revered, keeping the covenant and the lovingkindness, to them who love him, and to them who keep his commandments.
Ekpere m ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke m, ma kwupụta sị, “Onyenwe anyị, onye dị ukwuu, dị oke egwu. Onye na-edebe ọgbụgba ndụ nke ịhụnanya nke ndị hụrụ ya nʼanya na-edebekwa iwu ya niile.
5 We have sinned and committed iniquity, and been guilty of lawlessness and been rebellious, —even departing from thy commandments, and from thy regulations;
Ma anyị emehiela meekwa ihe nʼadịghị mma megide gị. Anyị emeela ajọ omume, anyị enupula isi megide gị, gbakụtakwa iwu gị niile azụ.
6 and have not hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spake in thy name, unto our kings, our rulers, and our fathers, —and unto all the people of the land.
Anyị e geghịkwa ndị ozi gị bụ ndị amụma ntị, bụ ndị gwara ndị eze anyị, na ndị ọchịchị anyị, na nna anyị ha, ma mmadụ niile bi nʼala anyị okwu nʼaha gị.
7 To thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but, to us, the shame of faces, as at this day, —to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, the near and the far off, throughout all the lands whither thou hast driven them, in their treachery, wherewith they had been treacherous against thee.
“Onyenwe anyị, ị bụ onye ezi omume, ma nʼụbọchị taa anyị bụ ndị ihere dịrị, ndị Juda, ndị Jerusalem na ndị Izrel niile, ndị nọ nso ma ndị nọ nʼebe dị anya ebe ị chụgara ha nʼihi ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi anyị nye gị.
8 O Yahweh, to us, belongeth the shame of faces, to our kings, to our rulers, and to our fathers, —in that we have sinned against thee.
Onyenwe anyị, ihere emegbuola anyị. Ihere dịrị ndị eze anyị, dịkwara ndịisi anyị na ndị nna anyị, nʼihi na anyị emeela mmehie megide gị.
9 To the Lord our God, belong compassions, and forgivenesses, —for we have rebelled against him;
Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ka obi ebere na mgbaghara niile dịrị, nʼihi na anyị enupurula gị isi.
10 and have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh our God, —to walk in his instructions which he set before us, through means of his servants the prophets;
Anyị erubeghị isi nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, maọbụ debe iwu ahụ o nyere anyị site nʼaka ndị ohu ha bụ ndị amụma.
11 yea, all Israel, have transgressed thy law, even going away, so as not to hearken unto thy voice, —therefore, were poured out upon us, the curse and the oath which had been written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we had sinned against him.
Ndị Izrel niile enupula isi nʼiwu gị, wezuga onwe ha, jụ ige gị ntị. “Ya mere, ọbụbụ ọnụ ahụ niile e dere nʼiwu Mosis, odibo nke Chineke adakwasịla anyị, nʼihi na anyị emehiela megide gị.
12 Thus hath he confirmed his words which he had spoken against us, and against our judges who had judged us, by bringing in upon us a great calamity, —as to which there had not been done, under all the heavens, as hath been done unto Jerusalem.
O meela ka okwu ya guzosie ike, bụ nke o kwuru megide anyị na ndị ndu anyị site nʼiwetara anyị oke mbibi a. Nke bụ na o nwebeghị mgbe ọbụla e merela ụdị ihe emere na Jerusalem nʼokpuru eluigwe.
13 Even as written in the law of Moses, hath, all this calamity, come in upon us, —yet entreated we not the face of Yahweh our God, by turning away from our iniquities, and by getting intelligence in thy truth.
Ọ bụ dịka e si dee ya nʼiwu Mosis, ka mbibi a niile bịakwasịrị anyị, ma anyị achọbeghị ihuọma Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, na ichegharị site na mmehie anyị chee uche banyere eziokwu gị.
14 Therefore hath Yahweh, kept watch, for the calamity, and brought it in upon us, —for righteous is Yahweh our God concerning all his deeds which he hath done, seeing that we had not hearkened unto his voice.
Onyenwe anyị kpachara anya mee ka nsogbu a bịakwasị anyị. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, bụ onye ezi omume nʼihe niile ọ na-eme, ma anyị jụrụ irubere ya isi.
15 Now, therefore, O Lord our God, who didst bring forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a firm hand, and didst make for thyself a name, as at this day, —we have sinned, we have been guilty of lawlessness.
“Ma ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke, onye ji aka dị ike kpọpụta ndị nke ya nʼala Ijipt, i meere onwe gị aha nke na-adịgide ruo taa. Anyị mere mmehie, ma mejọọkwa.
16 O Lord! according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thine indignation turn away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain, —for, by reason of our sins, and by reason of the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people, have become a reproach, to all who are round about us.
Onyenwe anyị, dịka ezi omume gị si dị, wezuga iwe gị na oke iwe gị nʼebe Jerusalem nọ, bụ obodo gị, na ugwu nsọ gị. Mmehie anyị na njehie nna anyị ha emeela ka Jerusalem na ndị gị bụrụ ihe ịkwa emo nye ndị gbara anyị gburugburu.
17 Now, therefore, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of thy servant, and unto his supplications, and let thy face shine, upon thy sanctuary, that is desolate, —for the sake of thy servants, O Lord.
“Ma ugbu a, Chineke anyị, biko nụrụ ekpere na arịrịọ ohu gị. Nʼihi aha gị, Onyenwe anyị jiri amara mee ka ihe si nʼihu gị mụkwasị ụlọnsọ gị nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
18 Incline, O my God, thine ear, and hearken, open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city on which hath been called thy name; for, not on the ground of our own righteousnesses, are we causing our supplications to fall down before thee, but on the ground of thine abounding compassions.
Chineke m, tọọ ntị gị nʼala nụrụ arịrịọ m. Meghee anya gị abụọ ka ị hụrụ ọnọdụ mbibi nke obodo a na-akpọ aha gị nọ. Anyị anaghị arịọ ka i nyere anyị aka nʼihi na anyị bụ ndị ezi omume, kama anyị na-arịọ nʼihi na ebere gị dị ukwuu.
19 O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hearken and perform! Do not delay! For thine own sake, O my God, because, thine own name, hath been called, upon thy city, and upon thy people.
Onyenwe anyị nụrụ! Onyenwe anyị, gbaghara anyị! Onyenwe anyị biko, gee ntị ma zaa anyị. Nʼihi aha gị, O Chineke m, anọkwala ọdụ, nʼihi obodo gị, na ndị nke gị bụ aha gị ka a na-akpọ ha.”
20 And, while yet I was speaking, and praying, and confessing mine own sin, and the sin of my people Israel, —and causing my supplication to fall down before Yahweh my God, concerning the holy mountain of my God;
Mgbe m nọ na-ekwu okwu na-ekpe ekpere, na-ekwupụta mmehie m na mmehie ndị m Izrel, na-arịọkwa amara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke m maka ugwu dị nsọ nke Chineke m,
21 while yet I was speaking in prayer, then, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in vision at the beginning, wearied with rapid flight, touched me, about the time of the evening present.
ebe m ka nọ na-ekpere, Gebrel, nwoke ahụ m hụrụ nʼọhụ na mbụ, feere ọsịịsọ bịakwute m nʼoge a na-achụ aja nke uhuruchi.
22 Yea he came, and spake with me, —and said—O Daniel! now, have I come forth, to teach thee understanding.
Ọ bịara sị m, “Daniel, a bịara m ugbu a inye gị uche na nghọta.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications, came forth a word, I, therefore, am arrived to tell, because, a man delighted in, thou art, —mark then the word, and have understanding in the revelation: —
Na mbido oge ị malitere ịrịọ arịrịọ, ka okwu ọsịsa pụtara. Abịara m ịgwa gị ya, nʼihi na ị bụ onye a na-akwanyere ugwu nke ukwuu. Ya mere, tụgharịa uche nʼokwu a, ghọtakwa ọhụ a.
24 Seventy weeks, have been divided concerning thy people and concerning thy holy city—to put an end to the transgression, and fill up the measure of sin, and put a propitiatory-covering over iniquity, and bring in the righteousness of ages, and affix a seal the vision and prophecy, and anoint the holy of holies.
“Iri izu ụka asaa, ka e dere nʼiwu nye ndị gị na obodo nsọ gị iji kwụsị njehie, ime ka mmehie kwụsị, na ịchụ aja maka ikpuchi ajọ omume na iweta ezi omume nke ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, na ịkachi ọhụ na amụma ahụ akara, nakwa ite Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ mmanụ.
25 Thou must know, then, and understand: From the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem—unto the Anointed One, the Prince, [shall be] seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks, —the broadway and the wall, shall again be built, even in the end of the times.
“Ma mara, werekwa uche ghọta nke a: Site nʼoge e nyere iwu ka e wugharịa Jerusalem tutu ruo mgbe Onye ahụ e tere mmanụ, onyendu ahụ ga-abịa, ga-abụ izu ụka asaa, na izu ụka iri isii na abụọ, a ga-ewughachi ya, na okporoụzọ ya, na olulu mmiri ya, maọbụ nʼime oge nsogbu.
26 And, after the sixty-two weeks, shall the Anointed One, be cut off, and have, nothing, —and, the city and the sanctuary, will one destroy with the Prince, and so will his own end come with an overwhelming flood, howbeit, up to the full end of the war, are decreed astounding things.
Mgbe izu ụka iri isii na abụọ gasịrị, Onye ahụ e tere mmanụ ka a ga-egbu, ma o nweghị ihe ọ ga-enwe. Usuu agha nke onye ọchịchị ga-abịa bibie obodo na ụlọnsọ. Oge ikpeazụ ga-abịa dịka idee mmiri; agha ga-adịgide ruo nʼoge ọgwụgwụ, e kpebiela na ịla nʼiyi ga-adị.
27 And he will confirm a covenant to the many, for one week, —but, in the middle of the week, will cause sacrifice and present to cease, and, in his stead, [shall be] the horrid abomination that astoundeth, even till, a full end, and that a decreed one, shall be poured out on him that astoundeth.
Ya na ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-enwe ọgbụgba ndụ nʼotu ‘izu ụka,’ ọ bụkwa nʼọkara izu ụka ahụ, ka ọ ga-eme ka ịchụ aja na inye onyinye kwụsị. Ọ ga-emekwa ihe arụ dị egwu nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ, ruo mgbe a ga-awụkwasị ya ọgwụgwụ ahụ bụ nke akara aka nʼahụ onye ọjọọ ahụ.”
