< Daniel 9 >

1 In year one of Darius [the] son of Ahasuerus one of [the] descendant[s] of Media who he had been made king over [the] kingdom of [the] Chaldeans.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa Dario mũrũ wa Ahasuerusu (wa rũciaro rwa Amedi), ũrĩa watuĩtwo mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Babuloni,
2 In year one of reigning his I Daniel I observed in the scrolls [the] number of the years which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet to complete to [the] ruins of Jerusalem seventy year[s].
mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa wathani wake-rĩ, niĩ Danieli nĩndataũkĩirwo kuuma maandĩko-inĩ matheru nĩ kiugo kĩrĩa Jehova eerĩte mũnabii Jeremia atĩ Jerusalemu nĩgũgakira ihooru mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja.
3 And I set! face my to [the] Lord God to seek prayer and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ash[es].
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩĩhũgũrĩra Jehova Ngai, ngĩmũhooya, ngĩmũthaithaga ndĩhingĩte kũrĩa irio, na ndĩhumbĩte nguo ya ikũnia, na ngehurĩria mũhu mũtwe.
4 And I prayed! to Yahweh God my and I confessed and I said! I beg you O Lord God great and awesome [who] keeps the covenant and covenant loyalty to [those who] love him and to [those who] keep commandments his.
Ngĩhooya Jehova Ngai wakwa, na ngiumbũra mehia, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Wee Mwathani Ngai mũnene na wa gwĩtigĩrwo, o Wee ũhingagia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake kĩa wendo kũrĩ andũ othe arĩa mamwendete na magaathĩkĩra maathani make,
5 We have sinned and we have committed iniquity (we have acted wickedly *Q(K)*) and we have rebelled and we have turned aside from commandments your and from judgments your.
nĩtwĩhĩtie na tũgeka ũũru. Nĩtũkoretwo tũrĩ aaganu na tũkarema, tũkahutatĩra maathani maku na mawatho maku.
6 And not we have listened to servants your the prophets who they spoke in name your to kings our leaders our and ancestors our and to all [the] people of the land.
Na tũkarega kũigua anabii acio ndungata ciaku, arĩa maaragia makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku makĩarĩria athamaki aitũ, na anene aitũ, o na maithe maitũ, o na andũ othe a bũrũri witũ.
7 [belongs] to You O Lord righteousness and [belongs] to us [the] shame of the faces as the day this to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel near and far in all the lands where you have banished them there in unfaithfulness their which they acted unfaithfully against you.
“Wee Mwathani-rĩ, ũrĩ mũthingu, no ithuĩ-rĩ, ũmũthĩ ũyũ tũiyũirwo nĩ thoni, ithuĩ andũ a Juda, na andũ a Jerusalemu, na andũ othe a Isiraeli, arĩa marĩ gũkuhĩ na arĩa marĩ kũraya, mabũrũri-inĩ mothe kũrĩa ũtũhurunjĩire nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga kwĩhokeka harĩwe.
8 O Yahweh [belongs] to us [the] shame of the faces to kings our to leaders our and to ancestors our that we have sinned to you.
Atĩrĩrĩ Wee Jehova, ithuĩ na athamaki aitũ, na anene aitũ na maithe maitũ tũiyũrĩtwo nĩ thoni nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa tũkwĩhĩirie.
9 [belong] to [the] Lord God our compassion and forgiveness for we have rebelled against him.
Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ wa tha na nĩarekanagĩra, o na gũkorwo ithuĩ nĩtũmũremeire;
10 And not we have listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God our to walk in laws his which he set before us by [the] hand of servants his the prophets.
tũtiathĩkĩire Jehova Ngai witũ kana tũkarũmia mawatho make marĩa aatũheire na tũnua twa anabii, ndungata ciake.
11 And all Israel they have transgressed law your and they have turned aside to not to listen to voice your and it has poured forth on us the curse and the oath which [was] written in [the] law of Moses [the] servant of God for we have sinned to him.
Bũrũri wothe wa Isiraeli nĩwagararĩte watho waku na ũgakũhutatĩra, na ũkarega gũgwathĩkĩra. “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtũkinyĩrĩirwo nĩ irumi na tũgacookererwo nĩ mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa wandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ wa Musa, ndungata ya Ngai, tondũ nĩtũkwĩhĩirie.
12 And he has carried out (word his *Q(K)*) which he spoke on us and on judges our who they judged us by bringing on us a calamity great which not it has been done under all the heavens just as it has been done on Jerusalem.
Na rĩu nĩũhingĩtie ciugo iria waririe cia gũtũũkĩrĩra ithuĩ na anene aitũ na ũndũ wa gũtũrehithĩria mwanangĩko mũnene. Gũkũ thĩ guothe gũtirĩ gwekwo ũndũ mũnene ta ũrĩa wĩkĩtwo Jerusalemu.
13 Just as [it is] written in [the] law of Moses all the calamity this it has come on us and not we have entreated [the] face of - Yahweh God our by turning away from iniquity our and by giving attention to faithfulness your.
O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ wa Musa-rĩ, mwanangĩko ũyũ wothe nĩũtũkinyĩrĩire. No rĩrĩ, tũtirĩ tũramaatha gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ Jehova Ngai witũ, nĩguo tũtigane na mehia maitũ na tũcũũranie ũhoro waku wa ma.
14 And he kept watch Yahweh over the calamity and he brought it on us for [has been] righteous Yahweh God our on all deeds his which he has done and not we listened to voice his.
Jehova ndaatithirie gũtũrehere mwanangĩko ũcio, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ mũthingu maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga; no, ithuĩ tũtiigana kũmwathĩkĩra.
15 And now - O Lord God our who you brought out people your from [the] land of Egypt by a hand strong and you made for yourself a name as the day this we have sinned we have acted wickedly.
“Na rĩrĩ, Wee Mwathani Ngai witũ, o Wee warutire andũ aku bũrũri wa Misiri na guoko kwa hinya, na ũkĩĩgĩĩra igweta rĩrĩa rĩtũũraga ho nginya ũmũthĩ, ithuĩ Nĩtwĩhĩtie, na tũgeka ũũru.
16 O Lord according to all righteousness your may it turn back please anger your and rage your from city your Jerusalem [the] mountain of holiness your for by sins our and by [the] iniquities of ancestors our Jerusalem and people your [have become] a reproach to all around us.
Atĩrĩrĩ Wee Mwathani, kũringana na ciĩko ciaku cia ũthingu, ehereria Jerusalemu, itũũra rĩu rĩaku inene, na kĩrĩma gĩaku gĩtheru marakara na mangʼũrĩ maku. Mehia maitũ na mawaganu ma maithe maitũ nĩmo matũmĩte Jerusalemu hamwe na andũ aku matuĩke kĩndũ gĩa gũconorithio harĩ andũ arĩa othe matũthiũrũrũkĩirie.
17 And therefore - listen O God our to [the] prayer of servant your and to supplications his and make shine face your on sanctuary your desolate for [the] sake of [the] Lord.
“Na rĩrĩ, Ngai witũ, ĩtĩkĩra kũigua mahooya na mathaithana ma ndungata ĩno yaku. Nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku Wee Mwathani, iguĩra handũ haku hatheru tha, o hau hakirĩte ihooru.
18 Incline O God my - ear your and listen (open *Q(K)*) eyes your and see desolate [things] our and the city which it is called name your on it for - not on righteousness our we [are] making fall supplications our before you for on compassion your great.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Wee Ngai thikĩrĩria, na ũtũigue, ũhingũre maitho maku wone ihooru rĩa itũũra inene rĩrĩa rĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku. Tũtiragũthaitha nĩ ũndũ tũrĩ athingu, no nĩ ũndũ wa tha ciaku nyingĩ.
19 O Lord - hear! O Lord - forgive! O Lord be attentive! and act may not you delay for own sake your O God my for name your it is called on city your and on people your.
Wee Mwathani, tũthikĩrĩrie! Wee Mwathani tũrekere! Wee Mwathani, tũigue na ũtũteithie! Nĩ ũndũ waku, Wee Ngai wakwa, ndũkagonderere nĩ ũndũ wa itũũra rĩaku inene na andũ aku metanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku.”
20 And still I [was] speaking and [was] praying and [was] confessing sin my and [the] sin of people my Israel and [was] making fall supplication my before Yahweh God my on [the] mountain of [the] holiness of God my.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa niĩ ndaaragia ngĩhooyaga na ngiumbũraga mehia makwa na ma andũ akwa a Isiraeli, na ngĩthaitha Jehova Ngai wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩma gĩake gĩtheru,
21 And still I [was] speaking in prayer and the man Gabriel whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning wearied with weariness [was] approaching me about [the] time of [the] offering of [the] evening.
o ndĩ o mahooya-inĩ-rĩ, Gaburieli, mũndũ ũrĩa ndonire kĩoneki-inĩ kĩa mbere, agĩũka harĩ niĩ ombũkĩte na ihenya ihinda rĩrĩa igongona rĩa hwaĩ-inĩ rĩrutagwo.
22 And he gave understanding and he spoke with me and he said O Daniel now I have come forth to give insight you understanding.
Nake akĩndaarĩria atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ Danieli, rĩu ndoka ngũhe ũmenyo na ũtaũku.
23 At [the] beginning of supplications your it went forth a word and I I have come to declare for [are] precious you and understand the word and understand the vision.
O rĩrĩa wambĩrĩirie kũhooya-rĩ, noguo icookio rĩheanirwo, na niĩ ndatũmwo njũke ngwĩre, tondũ ũrĩ mũndũ mwende mũno. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, cũrania ũhoro wa ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ngũkwĩra, na ũtaũkĩrwo nĩ kĩoneki kĩu:
24 Sevens seventy it has been decreed on people your - and on [the] city of holiness your to put an end to the transgression (and to complete sin *Q(K)*) and to atone for iniquity and to bring righteousness of perpetuity and to seal up vision and prophet and to anoint a holy place of holy places.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, ihinda rĩa ciumia mĩrongo mũgwanja nĩrĩo rĩtuĩrĩirwo andũ aku, na rĩgatuĩrwo itũũra rĩaku itheru, nĩgeetha hagĩe na ihinda rĩa kũniina ũmaramari, na rĩa gũtigana na mehia, na rĩa kũhooroheria waganu, nĩguo ũhoro wa ũthingu ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũgĩe, nakĩo kĩoneki na ũrathi ciĩkĩrwo mũhũũri, nake ũrĩa mũtheru mũno aitĩrĩrio maguta.
25 So you may know and you will understand from [the] going forth of [the] word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until an anointed [one] a prince sevens seven and sevens sixty and two it will return and it will be built an open place and a moat and in [the] distress of the times.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, menya na ũtaũkĩrwo atĩrĩ, ‘Kuuma rĩrĩa gwatuirwo atĩ itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩcookererio na rĩakwo rĩngĩ, nginya rĩrĩa mũtongoria ũrĩa Mũitĩrĩrie Maguta agooka-rĩ, nĩgũkagĩa na ciumia mũgwanja na ciumia ingĩ mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na igĩrĩ. Itũũra rĩu nĩrĩgaakwo rĩngĩ, hamwe na njĩra ciarĩo na mũtaro, no gũgaakorwo kũrĩ mahinda ma thĩĩna.
26 And after the sevens sixty and two he will be cut off an anointed [one] and nothing [will belong] to him and the city and the sanctuary it will destroy [the] people of a prince who is coming and end his [will be] by flood and [will be] until [the] end war [are] determined desolate [things].
Thuutha wa ciumia mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na igĩrĩ, ũcio Mũitĩrĩrie Maguta nĩakooragwo na atigwo atarĩ na kĩndũ. Ningĩ andũ a mũtongoria ũrĩa ũgooka thuutha wake nĩmagathũkangia itũũra rĩu inene o na handũ-harĩa-haamũre. Ithirĩro rĩgooka ta mũiyũro wa maaĩ: Nayo mbaara ĩgaathiĩ na mbere o nginya ithirĩro, na nĩgũtuĩtwo atĩ nĩgũgacooka gũkire ihooru.
27 And he will make strong a covenant to the many [people] seven one and [the] middle of the seven he will cause to cease - sacrifice and offering and on a wing of abomination desolating and until complete destruction and [what] has been decided it will be poured forth on [one who] is desolate.
Nĩakagĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrũmu na andũ aingĩ handũ ha kiumia kĩmwe. Gatagatĩ-inĩ ga kiumia kĩu nĩagatũma magongona na maruta matige kũrutwo. Na handũ ha mo, mwena ũmwe wa hekarũ-rĩ, nĩakarũgamia kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi na thaahu, o nginya ithirĩro rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo rĩgaakinya, nake atũũre aitagĩrĩrio mangʼũrĩ.’”
