< Daniel 9 >
1 In the firste yeer of Darius, the sone of Assuerus, of the seed of Medeis, that was emperour on the rewme of Caldeis,
Ahasweros babarima Dario (a nʼase firi Media) a wɔyɛɛ no ɔhene wɔ Babilonia ahennie so no
2 in the firste yeer of his rewme, Y, Danyel, vndurstood in bookis the noumbre of yeeris, of which noumbre the word of the Lord was maad to Jeremye, the profete, that seuenti yeer of desolacioun of Jerusalem schulde be fillid.
afe a ɛdi ɛkan no, me, Daniel, metee aseɛ firii atwerɛsɛm mu sɛdeɛ Awurade de maa Odiyifoɔ Yeremia sɛ, Yerusalem bɛda mpan mfirinhyia aduɔson.
3 And Y settide my face to my Lord God, to preie and to biseche in fastyngis, in sak, and aische.
Ɛno enti, mefiraa ayitoma de nsõ huraa me ho dii mmuada. Afei mede nkotosrɛ kɔɔ Awurade Onyankopɔn anim kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ srɛɛeɛ.
4 And Y preiede my Lord God, and Y knoulechide, and seide, Y biseche, thou Lord God, greet and ferdful, kepynge couenaunt and mercy to hem that louen thee, and kepen thi comaundementis.
Mebɔɔ Awurade me Onyankopɔn mpaeɛ, na mepaee mu kaa sɛ: “Ao Awurade, wo a wo so na woyɛ Onyankopɔn nwanwani! Wo a wodi ɔdɔ apam so—ɔdɔ apam a woayɛ ama wɔn a wɔdɔ wo na wɔdi wo mmara so.
5 We han synned, we han do wickidnesse, we diden unfeithfuli, and yeden awei, and bowiden awei fro thi comaundementis and domes.
Yɛayɛ bɔne, na yɛayɛ mfomsoɔ. Yɛabɔ atirimuɔden na yɛate atua; yɛakwati wo mmara ne wo nhyɛ.
6 We obeieden not to thi seruauntis, profetis, that spaken in thi name to oure kyngis, to oure princes, and to oure fadris, and to al the puple of the lond.
Yɛantie wʼasomfoɔ adiyifoɔ a wɔkasaa wɔ wo din mu kyerɛɛ yɛn ahemfo ne ahenemma ne agyanom ne nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa.
7 Lord, riytfulnesse is to thee, forsothe schenschipe of face is to vs, as is to dai to a man of Juda, and to the dwelleris of Jerusalem, and to al Israel, to these men that ben niy, and to these men that ben afer in alle londis, to which thou castidist hem out for the wickidnessis of hem, in whiche, Lord, thei synneden ayens thee.
“Awurade, woyɛ ɔteneneeni, nanso ɛnnɛ deɛ, yɛn anim agu ase, Yudafoɔ ne Yerusalemfoɔ ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa, wɔn a wɔbɛn ne wɔn a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri a wɔabɔ apansam. Esiane yɛn amumuyɛ enti, yɛn anim agu ase.
8 Schame of face is to vs, to oure kyngis, to oure princes, and to oure fadris, that synneden;
Ao, Awurade, aniwuo aka yɛn ne yɛn ahemfo, ahenemma ne yɛn agyanom, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛayɛ bɔne atia wo.
9 but merci and benygnytee is to thee, oure Lord God. For we yeden awei fro thee,
Ɛwom sɛ, yɛate Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn anim atua, nanso ɔyɛ ahummɔborɔ na ɔde bɔne kyɛ.
10 and herden not the vois of oure Lord God, that we schulden go in the lawe of hym, whiche he settide to vs bi hise seruauntis, profetis.
Yɛanyɛ ɔsetie amma Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn, na yɛanni ne mmara a ɔnam nʼasomfoɔ adiyifoɔ so de maa yɛn no so.
11 And al Israel braken thi lawe, and bowiden awei, that thei herden not thi vois; and cursyng, and wlatyng, which is writun in the book of Moises, the seruaunt of God, droppide on vs, for we synneden to hym.
Israel nyinaa abu wo mmara so, na wɔafiri ho a wɔmpɛ sɛ wɔyɛ ɔsetie ma wo. “Enti, nnome ne atemmuo a wɔaka ntam atwerɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ Mose Mmara mu no, wɔahwie agu yɛn so, sɛ yɛayɛ bɔne atia wo enti.
12 And he ordeynede hise wordis, whiche he spak on vs, and on oure princes, that demyden vs, that thei schulden brynge in on vs greet yuel, what maner yuel was neuer vndur al heuene, bi that that is doon in Jerusalem,
Ɔhaw kɛseɛ a wobɔɔ ho kɔkɔ sɛ wobɛyɛ atia yɛn ne yɛn ahemfo no, woayɛ. Ɔsoro ase nyinaa, biribiara nsii sɛdeɛ asi wɔ Yerusalem no bi da.
13 as it is writun in the lawe of Moises. Al this yuel cam on vs, and, oure Lord God, we preieden not thi face, that we schulden turne ayen fro oure wickidnessis, and schulden thenke thi treuthe.
Sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mose mmara mu no, saa amanehunu yi nyinaa aba yɛn so, nanso yɛnhwehwɛɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn mmɔborɔhunu, sɛ yɛbɛfiri yɛn bɔne ho na yɛapɛ nokorɛ akyiri ɛkwan.
14 And the Lord wakide on malice, and brouyt it on vs; oure Lord God is iust in alle his werkis whiche he made, for we herden not his vois.
Awurade antwentwɛn sɛ ɔde amanehunu no bɛba yɛn so, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn yɛ pɛ biribiara a ɔyɛ mu, nanso yɛanyɛ ɔsetie amma no.
15 And now, Lord God, that leddist thi puple out of the lond of Egipt in strong hond, and madist to thee a name bi this dai, we han synnede,
“Ao, Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn, wo a wode nsa a ɛyɛ den yii wo nkurɔfoɔ firii Misraim, de gyee din a atena hɔ abɛsi ɛnnɛ yi, yɛayɛ bɔne, yɛayɛ mfomsoɔ.
16 we han do wickidnesse, Lord, ayens thi riytfulnesse. Y biseche, thi wraththe and thi stronge veniaunce be turned awey fro thi citee Jerusalem, and fro thi hooli hil; for whi for oure synnes, and for the wickidnessis of oure fadris, Jerusalem and thi puple ben in schenschipe, to alle men bi oure cumpas.
Awurade, sɛdeɛ wo tenenee nneyɛɛ nyinaa teɛ no enti, yi wʼabofuo ne wʼanibereɛ firi wo kuropɔn Yerusalem ne wo bepɔ kronkron no so. Esiane yɛn bɔne ne yɛn agyanom amumuyɛ enti, nnipa a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no nyinaa di Yerusalem ne wo nkurɔfoɔ ho fɛw.
17 But now, oure God, here thou the preyer of thi seruaunt, and the bisechyngis of him, and schewe thi face on thi seyntuarie, which is forsakun.
“Na afei yɛn Onyankopɔn, tie wʼakoa mpaeɛbɔ, ne ne nkotosrɛ. Wo enti, Ao, Awurade, te wʼanim bio kyerɛ wo kronkronbea hɔ a agyigya no.
18 My God, for thi silf boowe doun thin eere, and here; opene thin iyen, and se oure desolacioun, and the citee, on which thi name is clepid to help. For not in oure iustifiyngis we setten forth mekeli preiers bifor thi face, but in thi many merciful doyngis.
Yɛ aso, Ao, me Onyankopɔn na tie; bue wʼani, na hwɛ kuropɔn a wo Din da soɔ a agyigya no. Ɛnyɛ yɛn tenenee enti na yɛde yɛn nkotosrɛ aba wʼanim, na mmom ɛyɛ wo mmɔborɔhunu bebrebe no enti.
19 Lord, here thou; Lord, be thou plesid, perseyue thou, and do; my Lord God, tarie thou not, for thi silf, for thi name is clepid to help on the citee, and on thi puple.
Ao, Awurade, tie! Ao, Awurade, fa kyɛ! Ao, Awurade, tie na yɛ! Wo enti, me Onyankopɔn, ntwentwɛn wo nan ase, ɛfiri sɛ, wo Din da wo kuropɔn ne wo nkurɔfoɔ so.”
20 And whanne Y spak yit, and preiede, and knoulechide my synnes, and the synnes of my puple Israel, that Y schulde sette forth mekeli my preieris in the siyt of my God, for the hooli hil of my God,
Ɛberɛ a merekasa na merebɔ mpaeɛ, na mereka me ne me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ bɔne akyerɛ, na mede mʼadesrɛ reto Awurade me Onyankopɔn anim ama ne bepɔ kronkron no,
21 the while Y spak yit in my preyer, lo! the man Gabriel, whom Y hadde seyn in visioun at the bigynnyng, flei soone, and touchide me in the tyme of euentid sacrifice;
na megu so rebɔ mpaeɛ no, Gabriel a mehunuu no kane anisoadehunu mu no de ahoɔherɛ baa me nkyɛn bɛyɛ anwummerɛ afɔrebɔ berɛ mu.
22 and he tauyt me, and he spak to me, and seide, Danyel, now Y yede out, that Y schulde teche thee, and thou schuldist vndurstonde.
Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Daniel, maba ha sɛ merebrɛ wo nhunumu ne nteaseɛ.
23 Fro the bigynnyng of thi preieris a word yede out. Forsothe Y cam to schewe to thee, for thou art a man of desiris; therfor perseyue thou the word, and vndurstonde thou the visioun.
Wohyɛɛ aseɛ sɛ worebɔ mpaeɛ pɛ no, mmuaeɛ baeɛ, na maba sɛ merebɛka akyerɛ wo, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔbu wo yie. Enti dwene asɛm no ho na te anisoadehunu no ase.
24 Seuenti woukis of yeeris ben abreggid on thi puple, and on thin hooli citee, that trespassyng be endid, and synne take an ende, and that wickidnesse be doon awei, and euerlastynge riytfulnesse be brouyt, and that the visioun, and prophesie be fillid, and the hooli of seyntis be anoyntid.
“‘Mmerɛ aduɔson ahodoɔ nson’ na wɔahyɛ ama wo nkurɔfoɔ ne wo kuropɔn kronkron no, sɛ wɔgyae mmarato, na wɔtwa bɔneyɛ so, na wɔpata atirimuɔden, na tenenee a ɛto ntwa da ba, na wɔsɔ anisoadehunu ne nkɔmhyɛ ano, na wɔsra Kronkron mu Kronkronbea hɔ ngo.
25 Therfor wite thou, and perseyue; fro the goyng out of the word, that Jerusalem be bildid eft, til to Crist, the duyk, schulen be seuene woukis of yeeris and two and sixti woukis of yeeris; and eft the street schal be bildid, and wallis, in the angwisch of tymes.
“Tie na te yei ase: Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a asɛm no bɛkɔ ama wɔasi Yerusalem ayɛ no foforɔ, kɔsi sɛ Deɛ Wɔasra no Ngo no bɛba no bɛyɛ mmerɛ nson ahodoɔ ‘nson’, ne aduosia mmienu ahodoɔ ‘nson’. Wɔbɛyiyi mmorɔno ne akwan na wɔayɛ abanbɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ den, nanso ɛbɛyɛ ahohiahia berɛ mu.
26 And after two and sixti woukis `of yeeris Crist schal be slayn. And it schal not be his puple, that schal denye hym. And the puple with the duyk to comynge schal distrie the citee, and the seyntuarie; and the ende therof schal be distriyng, and after the ende of batel schal be ordeynede desolacioun.
Mmerɛ aduosia mmienu ahodoɔ nson akyi no, wɔbɛkum Deɛ Wɔasra no ngo no a wɔrennya ne ho asɛm biara. Ɔhene a ɔbɛba no nkurɔfoɔ bɛba abɛsɛe kuropɔn ne kronkronbea no. Awieeɛ no bɛba sɛ nsuyire, na ɔko ne emu ahoyera bɛba akɔsi awieeɛ sɛdeɛ wɔahyɛ no.
27 Forsothe o wouk `of yeeris schal conferme the couenaunt to many men, and the offryng and sacrifice schal faile in the myddis of the wouke of yeeris; and abhomynacioun of desolacioun schal be in the temple, and the desolacioun schal contynue til to the parformyng and ende.
