< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first year of Darius, son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who hath been made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
Lè sa a, wa Dariyis, moun peyi Medi, pitit wa Egzèsès la, t'ap mache sou ennan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Babilòn.
2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, have understood by books the number of the years, (in that a word of Jehovah hath been unto Jeremiah the prophet, ) concerning the fulfilling of the wastes of Jerusalem — seventy years;
Mwen menm Danyèl, mwen t'ap etidye liv Bondye yo. Mwen t'ap kalkile sou swasanndizan lavil Jerizalèm te gen pou l' rete kraze a, jan Seyè a te di l' nan bouch pwofèt Jeremi an.
3 and I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek [by] prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Mwen leve je m' nan syèl la pou m' lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye a, ak tout kè m'. Mwen t'ap kriye nan pye l', mwen te rete san manje, yon rad sak sou mwen. Mwen te chita sou sann dife.
4 And I pray to Jehovah my God, and confess, and say: 'I beseech Thee, O Lord God, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and the kindness to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands;
Mwen lapriyè nan pye Seyè a, Bondye mwen an. Mwen louvri kè m' ba li, mwen mande l' padon pou pèp mwen an. Mwen di: -Seyè, Bondye, ou gen gwo pouvwa, tout moun fèt pou gen krentif pou ou. Ou kenbe pwomès ou, ou pa janm sispann renmen moun ki renmen ou epi ki kenbe kòmandman ou yo.
5 we have sinned, and done perversely, and done wickedly, and rebelled, to turn aside from Thy commands, and from Thy judgments:
Nou peche, nou fè mechanste, nou fè sa ki mal, nou vire do ba ou, nou pa fè sa ou te mande nou fè, ni sa ou te ban nou lòd fè.
6 and we have not hearkened unto Thy servants, the prophets, who have spoken in Thy name unto our kings, our heads, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Nou pa t' koute pwofèt yo, sèvitè ou yo, ki te pale nan non ou ak wa nou yo, chèf nou yo, zansèt nou yo ak tout pèp nan peyi nou an.
7 'To Thee, O Lord, [is] the righteousness, and to us the shame of face, as [at] this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, in all the lands whither Thou hast driven them, in their trespass that they have trespassed against Thee.
Ou menm, Seyè, tou sa ou fè dwat. Men, nou tout moun peyi Jida, moun lavil Jerizalèm, tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl ou te gaye nan peyi pre ak peyi lwen yo, se wont nou toujou wont sa nou fè, tankou jòdi a, paske nou pa t' kenbe pawòl nou avè ou.
8 'O Lord, to us [is] the shame of face, to our kings, to our heads, and to our fathers, in that we have sinned against Thee.
Wi, Seyè, se yon wont pou nou tout, wa nou yo, chèf nou yo, zansèt nou yo, paske nou te fè sa ki mal devan ou.
9 'To the Lord our God [are] the mercies and the forgivenesses, for we have rebelled against Him,
Ou menm Seyè, Bondye nou, ou gen bon kè, ou konn padonnen paske nou menm nou te vire do ba ou.
10 and have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in His laws, that He hath set before us by the hand of His servants the prophets;
Nou pa t' koute ou, Seyè Bondye nou, pou nou te viv dapre lòd ou te ban nou nan bouch pwofèt yo, sèvitè ou yo.
11 and all Israel have transgressed Thy law, to turn aside so as not to hearken to Thy voice; and poured on us is the execration, and the oath, that is written in the law of Moses, servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.
Tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt pa t' swiv lòd ou. Yo pran chemen kwochi, yo pa koute ou lè ou te pale yo. Se konsa tout madichon ak tout malè ki te ekri nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè ou la, tonbe sou nou, paske nou te fè sa ki mal devan ou.
12 'And He confirmeth His words that He hath spoken against us, and against our judges who have judged us, to bring in upon us great evil, in that it hath not been done under the whole heavens as it hath been done in Jerusalem,
Ou te fè tou sa ou te di w'ap fè nou ansanm ak chèf ki t'ap gouvènen nou yo. Ou voye yon sèl malè sou lavil Jerizalèm, malè ki patko janm rive sou latè.
13 as it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil hath come upon us, and we have not appeased the face of Jehovah our God to turn back from our iniquities, and to act wisely in Thy truth.
Jan sa te ekri nan liv lalwa Moyiz la, tout malè sa a tonbe sou nou. Men, menm apre sa, nou pa t' chache fè ou plezi, Seyè Bondye nou. Nou pa t' sispann fè sa ki mal pou nou te swiv verite ou la.
14 And Jehovah doth watch for the evil, and bringeth it upon us, for righteous [is] Jehovah our God concerning all His works that He hath done, and we have not hearkened to His voice.
Wi, Seyè Bondye nou, ou te pare pou pini nou, ou pini nou vre, paske ou toujou fè sa ki dwat. Se nou ki pa koute lè ou te pale nou.
15 And now, O Lord our God, who hast brought forth Thy people from the land of Egypt by a strong hand, and dost make for Thee a name as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
Koulye a, Seyè Bondye nou, ou te fè pèp ou a soti kite peyi Lejip ak fòs ponyèt ou. Jouk jounen jòdi a y'ap nonmen non ou pou sa. Men, nou menm nou peche, nou fè sa ki mal.
16 'O Lord, according to all Thy righteous acts, let turn back, I pray Thee, Thine anger and Thy fury from Thy city Jerusalem, Thy holy mount, for by our sins, and by the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people [are] for a reproach to all our neighbours;
Seyè, ou te toujou pran defans nou nan tan lontan. Tanpri, pa fache, pa move sou lavil Jerizalèm ankò. Se mòn pa ou la, se mòn ki apa pou ou a li ye. Tout moun k'ap viv nan peyi tou kole ak nou yo ap pase ni lavil Jerizalèm ni pèp ou a nan betiz, poutèt peche nou yo ak mechanste zansèt nou yo te fè.
17 and now, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, and cause Thy face to shine on Thy sanctuary that [is] desolate, for the Lord's sake.
O Bondye papa nou! Tanpri, tande lapriyè sèvitè ou la ap fè nan pye ou. M'ap mande ou, tanpri souple, voye je ou sou tanp ou a ki fin kraze, pou tout moun ka konnen se Bondye ou ye.
18 'Incline, O my God, Thine ear, and hear, open Thine eyes and see our desolations, and the city on which Thy name is called; for not for our righteous acts are we causing our supplications to fall before Thee, but for Thy mercies that [are] many.
O Bondye, pare zòrèy ou pou tande nou! Voye je ou wè jan nou fini! Gade nan ki eta lavil ki pote non ou lan ye! Se pa paske nou fè anyen ki dwat ki fè n'ap lapriyè nan pye ou konsa. Men, se paske ou gen bon kè anpil.
19 O lord, hear, O Lord, forgive; O Lord, attend and do; do not delay, for Thine own sake, O my God, for Thy name is called on Thy city, and on Thy people.'
Seyè, koute nou non! Seyè, padonnen nou! Seyè, louvri zòrèy ou! Fè kichòy! Pa mize, pou tout moun ka konnen se Bondye ou ye! Lavil la ansanm ak pèp la se pou ou yo ye. Se pou yo m'ap lapriyè.
20 And while I am speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and causing my supplication to fall before Jehovah my God, for the holy mount of my God,
Mwen t'ap pale toujou nan lapriyè a, mwen t'ap rekonèt peche m' yo ak peche pèp Izrayèl la, pèp mwen an devan Bondye. Mwen t'ap mande Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, gras mizèrikòd pou mòn ki apa pou li a.
21 yea, while I am speaking in prayer, then that one Gabriel, whom I had seen in vision at the commencement, being caused to fly swiftly, is coming unto me at the time of the evening present.
Wi, mwen t'ap pale toujou nan lapriyè a, lè Gabriyèl, zanj mwen te wè nan premye vizyon an, vole desann kote mwen te ye a. Se lè yo te konn fè ofrann bèt aswè a.
22 And he giveth understanding, and speaketh with me, and saith, 'O Daniel, now I have come forth to cause thee to consider understanding wisely;
Li vini, li pale avè m'. Li di m' konsa: -Danyèl, koulye a mwen vin la a pou m' ede ou konprann mesaj la.
23 at the commencement of thy supplications hath the word come forth, and I have come to declare [it], for thou [art] greatly desired, and understand thou concerning the matter, and consider concerning the appearance.
Depi lè ou te fèk konmanse ap lapriyè nan pye Bondye a, li te gen tan reponn ou. Se mesaj sa a mwen vin fè ou konnen. Ou se yon moun Bondye renmen anpil. Koulye a, louvri zòrèy ou pou ou ka konprann sans vizyon an byen.
24 'Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.
Sèt fwa swasanndizan an, se tan sa a Bondye fikse pou l' delivre pèp li a ansanm ak lavil ki apa pou li a anba peche ak mechanste. Lè lè sa a va rive, l'ap padonnen tout peche. Tout moun pral mache dwat pou tout tan. Konsa, tou sa yo te anonse nan vizyon an ak nan mesaj pwofèt la va rive. Yo pral mete lotèl la apa pou Bondye ankò.
25 And thou dost know, and dost consider wisely, from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem till Messiah the Leader [is] seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the broad place hath been built again, and the rampart, even in the distress of the times.
Konprann sa byen, louvri zòrèy ou. Depi lè yo te bay lòd pou yo te rebati Jerizalèm lan jouk lè chèf Bondye chwazi a va vini an, sèt fwa sètan pral pase. Yo pral rebati Jerizalèm avèk wout li yo ak miray ranpa li yo. Lavil la pral kanpe pou sèt fwa swasanndezan, men pandan tout tan sa a, moun pral anba anpil tray.
26 And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath come doth destroy the people; and its end [is] with a flood, and till the end [is] war, determined [are] desolations.
Apre sèt fwa swasanndezan sa yo, yo pral touye chèf Bondye te chwazi a san rezon. Yon lòt chèf ap vini sot byen lwen, l'ap detwi lavil la ansanm ak Tanp lan. Tout bagay pral rete konsa, y'ap fini tankou lè gwo dlo desann. Lè sa a, pral gen lagè ak ravaj jan Bondye te pare l' la.
27 And he hath strengthened a covenant with many — one week, and [in] the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.'
Chèf sa a pral siyen yon kontra solid avèk anpil lòt pèp pandan sètan. Men, sou twazan sis mwa l'ap fè yo sispann touye bèt ak fè ofrann pou Bondye. Yo pral mete bagay nou pa ta renmen wè a, bagay k'ap bay gwo lapenn lan chita byen wo nan Tanp lan. L'ap rete la jouk moun ki va mete l' la a va kontre ak bout li, jan Bondye pare sa pou li a.
