< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogwa Daliyo mutabani wa Akaswero Omumeedi, gwe yaliiramu obwakabaka bwa Bakaludaaya,
2 In the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
mu mwaka ogwo ogw’olubereberye, nze Danyeri ne ntegeera amakulu ag’ebyawandiikibwa, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kiri kye yawa Yeremiya nnabbi, ng’okubonaabona kwa Yerusaalemi kulitwala emyaka nsanvu.
3 And I set my face to the Lord GOD, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
Awo ne nkyukira Mukama Katonda ne nnoonya okubeerwa okuva gyali nga nsaba era nga neegayirira, nga nsiiba era nga nyambadde ebibukutu nga neesiize evvu.
4 And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
Ne nsaba Mukama Katonda wange ne mwatulira nti, “Ayi Mukama omukulu era ow’entiisa, akuuma endagaano ye so n’okwagala kwo tekujjulukuka eri abo bonna abakwagala era abagondera ebiragiro byo,
5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
twonoonye era tusobezza, tukoze eby’ekyejo n’eby’obujeemu, era
6 Neither have we hearkened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
tetwawuliriza baddu bo bannabbi, abaayogeranga mu linnya lyo eri bakabaka baffe, n’eri abalangira baffe, n’eri bajjajjaffe, n’eri abantu bonna ab’omu nsi.
7 O Lord, righteousness [belongeth] to thee, but to us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, [that are] near, and [that are] far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
“Mukama oli mutukuvu, naye olunaku lwa leero tuswadde, abantu ba Yuda, n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi, ne Isirayiri yenna, abali okumpi n’abali ewala mu nsi zonna gye wabawaŋŋangusiriza olw’obutaba beesigwa gy’oli.
8 O Lord, to us [belongeth] confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
Ayi Mukama, ffe ne bakabaka baffe, n’abalangira baffe, ne bajjajjaffe tuswadde kubanga twonoonye.
9 To the Lord our God [belong] mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
Mukama Katonda waffe ajjudde okusaasira n’okusonyiwa, newaakubadde nga tumujeemedde,
10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
ne tutawuliriza ddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda waffe, newaakubadde okukuuma amateeka ge, ge yatuwa ng’ayita mu baddu be bannabbi.
11 And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that [is] written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
Isirayiri yenna bamenye amateeka go ne bakuvaako, era bakujeemedde. “Noolwekyo ebikolimo n’ebirayiro ebyawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Musa omuddu wa Mukama kyebivudde bitutuukako kubanga twayonoona mu maaso go.
12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven it hath not been done as it hath been done upon Jerusalem.
Otuukirizza ebigambo bye watwogerako, n’eri abakulembeze baffe, bw’otuleeseeko akabi akanene; era wansi w’eggulu tewabangawo kintu kinene bwe kityo ekyakolebwa, ng’ekyo ekituuse ku Yerusaalemi.
13 As [it is] written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
Nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Musa, bwe bityo ebisobyo byonna bwe byatutuukako, naye ate nga tetunneegayirira kisa kya Mukama Katonda waffe, okulekayo ebikolwa byaffe ebitali bya butuukirivu tusseeyo omwoyo okugoberera amazima.
14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God [is] righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we have not obeyed his voice.
Mukama kyeyava talwa kutuleetako buzibu obwo, kubanga Mukama Katonda waffe mutuukirivu mu buli ky’akola, naye tetugondedde ddoboozi lye.
15 And now, O LORD our God, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast obtained thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
“Ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe eyaggya abantu bo mu nsi ey’e Misiri n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi ne weekolera erinnya, eryayatiikirira ne leero, twayonoona ne tukola ebitali bya butuukirivu.
16 O LORD, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thy anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people [have become] a reproach to all [that are] about us.
Ayi Mukama, ng’obutuukirivu bwo bwonna bwe buli, obusungu bwo n’ekiruyi kyo obiggye ku kibuga kyo Yerusaalemi, olusozi lwo olutukuvu, kubanga olw’ebibi byaffe n’ebikolwa byaffe ebitali bya butuukirivu ebya bajjajjaffe, tufuuse eky’okusekererwa eri abatwetoolodde bonna.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the LORD'S sake.
“Kaakano, Ayi Katonda waffe, owulire okusaba n’okwegayirira kw’omuddu wo, olw’okusaasira kwo Ayi Mukama otunule eri ekifo kyo ekitukuvu.
18 O my God, incline thy ear, and hear; open thy eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
Ayi Katonda wange, otege okutu kwo owulirize, otunuulire okuzika kw’ekibuga ekyatuumibwa erinnya lyo, kubanga tetuleeta byetaago byaffe eri ggwe olw’obutuukirivu bwaffe, wabula olw’okusaasira kwo okungi.
19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thy own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
Ayi Mukama otuwulire! Ayi Mukama, otusonyiwe! Ayi Mukama otuwulire era obeeko ne ky’okolawo! Olw’okusaasira kwo, Ayi Katonda wange oleme okulwa, kubanga ekibuga kyo n’abantu bo n’eggwanga lyo bayitibwa Erinnya lyo.”
20 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
Awo bwe nnali nga njogera era nga nsaba, nga njatula ebibi byange n’ebibi by’abantu bange Isirayiri, nga neegayirira Mukama Katonda wange ku lw’olusozi lwe olutukuvu,
21 Yes, while I [was] speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
awo mu kiseera ekyo nga nkyasaba, omusajja Gabulyeri, gwe nalaba mu kwolesebwa okwasooka, n’ajja gye ndi mu mbuyaga ey’amaanyi mu kiseera ekya ssaddaaka ey’akawungeezi.
22 And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Danyeri, kaakano nzize okukuwa amagezi n’okutegeera.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
Amangu nga waakatandika okusaba, okwegayirira kwo kwaddibwamu era nzize okukutegeeza, kubanga oli mwagalwa nnyo. Noolwekyo ssaayo omwoyo eri ekigambo kino, otegeere bye wayolesebwa.
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
“Wiiki nsavu ze ziweereddwa abantu bo n’ekibuga kyo ekitukuvu okukomya ebikolwa byabwe ebibi, n’okuleka ebibi, n’okutangiririrwa olw’ebikolwa ebitali bya butuukirivu, n’okuleeta obutuukirivu obutaliggwaawo, n’okukakasa ebyo ebyayolesebwa n’ebyo ebyalangibwa, n’okufuka amafuta ku asinga obutukuvu.
25 Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
“Manya era tegeera ng’okuva ne kaakano ekiragiro nga bwe kiweereddwa ku kuzzibwawo kwa Yerusaalemi n’okutuusa ku kujja okw’omufuzi oyo eyafukibwako amafuta, waliba ebbanga lya wiiki musanvu. N’oluvannyuma kirizimbibwa mu wiiki nkaaga mu bbiri ne kiteekebwamu enguudo n’olusalosalo, newaakubadde nga biriba biro bya kutegana.
26 And after sixty and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end [shall be] with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are determined.
N’oluvannyuma lwa wiiki enkaaga mu ebbiri, eyafukibwako amafuta alisalibwako, era taliba na kintu. Abantu ab’omufuzi balijja ne bazikiriza ekibuga n’awatukuvu, n’enkomerero ye erijja ng’amataba, n’entalo era n’okuzika okwalagirwa biryeyongera okutuusa ku nkomerero.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations, he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Alikola endagaano enywevu n’abantu bangi okumala wiiki emu, naye wakati wa wiiki eyo aliggyawo emikolo gya ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo. Ne ku kiwaawaatiro eky’ebyemizizo kulijjirako oyo aleeta okubonaabona, okutuusa ekiseera eky’enkomerero ekyalagirwa nga kituukiridde ku ye.”
