< Daniel 9 >

1 [Now I am going to tell you about what happened] when Darius, who was from the Mede people-group and who was the son of Xerxes, ruled as the King of Babylonia.
Sannaddii kowaad oo Daariyus kii ahaa ina Ahashwerus oo reer Maaday, oo boqorka looga dhigay boqortooyadii reer Kaldayiin,
2 During the first year that he was the king, I, Daniel, was studying/reading the [holy] books/Scriptures the message that Yahweh had given to the prophet Jeremiah. In that message Jeremiah had written that Jerusalem would [be destroyed and] remain ruined for seventy years.
sannaddii kowaad oo boqornimadiisa ayaan anigoo Daanyeel ahu kitaabbadii ka gartay intay ahaayeen sannadihii Ilaah kala hadlay Nebi Yeremyaah, oo ku saabsanaa wakhtiga la dhammaystirayo baabbi'inta wax la baabbi'inayo Yeruusaalem, waxayna ahaayeen toddobaatan sannadood.
3 [After I read that], I pleaded to Yahweh my God [to help us], praying and (fasting/abstaining from eating food). [While doing that, I was wearing] rough cloth and [sitting in] ashes [to show that I was very sad about what was going to happen to us].
Oo waxaan wejigayga u jeediyey Sayidka Ilaah ah inaan ku doondoono tukasho iyo baryootan, anoo sooman, oo joonyado guntan, oo dambas ku fadhiya.
4 I confessed [the sins that we had committed], and [this is what I] prayed: Lord, you are great and awesome! You have faithfully done what you said that you would do for us. You faithfully love those who love you and who do what you have commanded [that they should do].
Oo Rabbiga ah Ilaahayga ayaan baryay, oo wax baan u qirtay, oo aan idhi, Sayidow, waxaad tahay Ilaaha weyn oo laga cabsado, oo axdi xajiya, oo u naxariista kuwa isaga jecel oo amarradiisa dhawra;
5 But we [Israelis] have sinned. We have done things that are wrong. We have done wicked things, and we have rebelled [against you]. We have turned away from [obeying] your commands [DOU].
waannu dembaabnay, oo wax baannu si qalloocan u samaynay, oo shar baannu falnay, oo waannu caasiyownay, oo xataa waannu ka baydhnay amarradaadii iyo xukummadaadii,
6 Your prophets spoke for you [MTY], [giving your messages to] kings, to our other rulers, to our [other] ancestors, and to all the Israeli people, but we have refused to (pay attention to/heed) those prophets.
oo ma aannu dhegaysan nebiyadii addoommadaada ahaa, oo magacaaga kula hadlay boqorradayada iyo amiirradayada, iyo awowayaashayo, iyo dadka waddanka deggan oo dhan.
7 Lord, you always do what is righteous/just/fair, but we have caused ourselves to be ashamed [IDM]. This is [still] true about all of the Israelis who live in Jerusalem and who live in other places in Judea. It is [also] true about all us Israelis whom you scattered, who [were taken to] other countries, some near [Israel] and some far away, because we were very unfaithful/disloyal to you.
Sayidow, xaqnimada adigaa iska leh, laakiinse annagu waxaannu leennahay qasnaan iyo ceeb sida maanta annagoo ah dadka reer Yahuudah, iyo kuwa ku dhaqma Yeruusaalem, iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo kuwa dhow iyo kuwa fog oo aad dalalka kale u kaxaysay xadgudubkii ay kugu xadgudbeen aawadiis.
8 Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
Sayidow, waxaannu leennahay qasnaan iyo ceeb, annaga iyo boqorradayada iyo amiirradayada, iyo awowayaashayaba, maxaa yeelay, waannu kugu dembaabnay.
9 Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
Sayidka Ilaahayaga ahu wuxuu leeyahay naxariis iyo dembidhaaf, waayo, waannu ku caasiyownay;
10 Yahweh our God, when you gave your laws to your prophets who served you, and they told us to conduct our lives according to those laws, we did not (listen to/heed) you.
mana aannu addeecin codkii Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah, iyo inaannu ku soconno sharciyadiisa ay na hor dhigeen nebiyadii ahaa addoommadiisa.
11 All [of us] Israeli people have disobeyed your laws, and we have turned away from [obeying] what you said. We have sinned against you. As a result, [you] have caused us to experience the terrible things that your servant Moses said/wrote [would happen to us] if we sinned against you.
Haah, reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu sharcigaagii way ku xadgudbeen, oo xataa way ka baydheen, si aanay u addeecin codkaaga, sidaas daraaddeed ayaa cadhada lanoogu riday, iyo weliba dhaarta ku qoran sharciga Muuse, oo ahaa addoonkii Ilaah; waayo, waannu kugu dembaabnay.
12 You warned us and our rulers that you would punish Jerusalem severely by causing a great disaster there, a disaster that would be worse than any disaster that any other city had ever experienced, and you have done what you said that you would do.
Hadalladiisii uu kaga hadlay annaga iyo xaakinnadayada na xukumi jiray wuxuu ku adkeeyey xumaan weyn oo uu nagu soo dejiyey; waayo, samada hoosteeda oo dhan laguma samayn waxa Yeruusaalem lagu sameeyey oo kale.
13 [You] punished us just like Moses wrote [that you would do]. But, Yahweh our God, we still have not tried, by turning away from our sinning and by heeding your truth, to persuade you to act mercifully toward us.
Sida ku qoran sharciga Muuse, xumaantan oo dhammu annagay nagu dhacday, welise Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah raallinimo kama aannu baryin, si aannu uga soo jeesanno dembiyadayada, oo aannu runtaada uga fikirno.
14 So, because we did not obey you, you prepared to punish us, and [then] you did punish us, because you always do what is righteous/just/fair.
Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed baa Rabbigu xumaanta u fiiriyey, oo uu noogu soo dejiyey, waayo, Ilaaha Rabbigayaga ahu wax alla wuxuu sameeyo oo dhan waa ku xaq, oo annana ma aannu addeecin codkiisii.
15 O Lord our God, you brought your people out of Egypt by your great power [MTY], and by doing that you have caused people from that time until the present time to know that you are great [IDM] [even though] we have sinned and done wicked things.
Haddaba Ilaahayaga ahow, oo dadkiisa gacanta xoogga leh Masar kaga soo bixiyayow, oo maanta ammaan isu soo jiidayow, waannu dembaabnay, oo wax shar ah baannu falnay.
16 Lord, Jerusalem is your city, and [your temple was built there] on your sacred hill. Now all the people who live in nearby [countries/nations] despise Jerusalem and [us] your people because of our sins and because of the evil things that our ancestors did. But [now], because you do what is righteous/just, [we ask you to] not be angry with Jerusalem any longer.
Sayidow, waan ku baryayaaye xaqnimadaada oo dhan aawadeed, Dhirifkaaga iyo cadhadaaduba ha ka leexdeen magaaladaada Yeruusaalem, oo ah buurtaada quduuska ah; waayo, dembiyadayada iyo xumaantii awowayaashayo aawadood ayaa Yeruusaalem iyo dadkaagiiba kuwo ceebaysan ugu noqdeen inta nagu wareegsan oo dhan.
17 O Lord our God, listen to what I am praying and pleading [for you to do]. (For your own sake/In order that people will know that you are very great), act kindly [IDM] concerning your temple, which was destroyed [by the armies of Babylonia].
Haddaba Ilaahayow, bal maqal tukashadayda iyo baryadayda anoo ah addoonkaaga, oo aawadaa, Sayidow, uga dhig in wejigaagu ka hor iftiimo meeshaada quduuskaa oo kharribantay.
18 My God, listen [to my prayer]. Look [at us] and see our troubles, and see that this city that belongs to you [MTY] has been ruined/destroyed. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done what is right/good.
Ilaahayow, dhegahaaga soo jeedi oo i maqal; oo indhahaaga kala qaad, oo bal arag baabba'ayaga, iyo magaaladii magacaaga loogu yeedhayba, waayo, annagu kugu baryi mayno xaqnimo aannu leennahay, laakiinse naxariistaada ayaannu kugu baryaynaa.
19 Lord, listen [to us]! Lord, forgive us! Lord, this city and these people belong to you, so [we plead with you to] heed what we are saying and act [to help us] right now, (for your own sake/in order that people will know that you are very great)!
Sayidow, na maqal; Sayidow, na cafi; Sayidow, na dhegayso oo yeel; ha raagin; aawadaa baan kugu baryaynaa Ilaahayow, maxaa yeelay magaaladaada iyo dadkaagaba waxaa loogu yeedhay magacaaga.
20 I continued praying and confessing the sins that my people and I had committed, and pleading with Yahweh my God that he would restore [the temple on] the sacred hill [in Jerusalem].
Oo intii aan hadlayay, oo aan tukanayay, oo aan dembigayga iyo dembigii dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil qiranayay, oo aan Rabbiga Ilaahayga ah u baryayay buurta quduuska ah oo Ilaahay,
21 While I was praying, Gabriel, the angel/one whom I had seen in the vision previously, came flying rapidly to me, at the time in the evening when [the priests] offered sacrifices.
intii aan ducaysanayay ayaa ninkii Jibriil ahaa, oo aan markii hore riyada ku arkay, degdeg iigu soo duulay, wakhtigii qurbaankii fiidkii la bixiyey, oo i taabtay.
22 He said to me, “Daniel, I have come to you to enable you to understand [DOU] clearly [the message that God gave to Jeremiah].
Markaasuu wax i baray, oo ila hadlay, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Daanyeelow, haatan waxaan u soo baxay inaan kaa dhigo mid wax aad u yaqaan.
23 When you began to plead [with God], he gave me a message [to pass on to you]. He loves you very much, so [he has sent me] to tell you what he said to me. So [now] (pay attention/listen carefully) in order that you may understand the meaning of what he revealed [to Jeremiah].
Markaad baryootankaagii bilowday ayaa amarku soo baxay, oo waxaan u imid inaan kuu sheego; waayo, aad baa laguu jecel yahay, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed xaalka ka fiirso, oo riyada garo.
24 [God] has determined/declared that there will be 490 years until he frees/saves your people from [the guilt of] their sins and to atone for the evil things that they have done. Then [God] will rule everyone justly, and he will do that forever. And [what you saw in] the vision and what [Jeremiah] prophesied will (come true/be fulfilled), and the sacred temple will be dedicated [to God again].
Toddobaatan toddobaad baa loo qabtay dadkaaga iyo magaaladaada quduuska ah, in xadgudubka la joojiyo, oo dembiyada la dhammeeyo, oo xumaanta laga heshiiyo, oo la keeno xaqnimo weligeed ah, iyo in la shaabadeeyo waxyaalo lays tuso iyo waxyaalo la sii sheego, iyo in la subko kan ugu quduusan.
25 You need to know and understand this: There will be 49 years from the time that [the king] commands that Jerusalem should be rebuilt until the leader/king that God has chosen will come. Then 434 years later, Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and it will have streets and will have a (moat/deep ditch filled with water) around it [to protect the city]. But that will be a time when [God’s people] will have [a lot of] troubles/difficulties/suffering.
Haddaba ogow oo garo in tan iyo markii amarku soo baxay in Yeruusaalem la soo celiyo oo la dhiso ilaa uu yimaado Kan subkan oo ah amiirka waxaa ahaan doona toddoba toddobaad, iyo laba iyo lixdan toddobaad; haddana wakhtiyada cidhiidhiga ah waa la dhisi doonaa oo waxaa loo yeeli doonaa jidad iyo derbi.
26 After those 434 years, the leader/king whom God has appointed will be killed [when it seems that] he will have accomplished nothing (unjustly/without having done anything wrong). After that, the temple will be destroyed by [the army of] a powerful ruler. The city and the temple will be destroyed like a flood [MET] [destroys everything]. That will be the beginning of the war and destruction that [God] has decreed [will happen].
Oo laba iyo lixdanka toddobaad dabadood ayaa Kan subkan la gooyn doonaa waxbana ma haysan doono, oo dadka amiirka iman doona ayaa baabbi'in doona magaalada iyo meesha quduuska ah oo dhammaadkiisuna wuxuu ahaan doona mid daad leh, oo xataa ilaa ugu dambaysta waxaa jiri doona dagaal; baabba'na waa la goostay.
27 That ruler will make a strong agreement with many people. He will promise to do for seven years what he has said in that agreement. But when that time is half finished, he will prevent [priests from] giving any more offerings and sacrifices [to God]. A disgusting idol will be put on the highest part of the temple, and it will stay there until [God] gets rid of the one who put it there, which is what he said that he would do.”
Oo toddobaad ayuu kuwo badan axdi kula dhigan doonaa: markaasuu toddobaadka badhtankiisa joojin doonaa allabariga iyo qurbaankaba; oo dushiisa waxaa ku iman doona mid wax baabbi'iya ilaa dhammaadkii la goostay lagu dejiyo kan wax baabbi'iya.
