Danieli 9
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mbere wa Dario mũrũ wa Ahasuerusu (wa rũciaro rwa Amedi), ũrĩa watuĩtwo mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Babuloni,
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;
2 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.
in the first year of his reign I Daniel meditated in the books, over the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish for the desolations of Jerusalem seventy years.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩĩhũgũrĩra Jehova Ngai, ngĩmũhooya, ngĩmũthaithaga ndĩhingĩte kũrĩa irio, na ndĩhumbĩte nguo ya ikũnia, na ngehurĩria mũhu mũtwe.
And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
4 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,
And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made confession, and said: 'O Lord, the great and awful God, who keepest covenant and mercy with them that love Thee and keep Thy commandments,
5 nĩtwĩhĩtie na tũgeka ũũru. Nĩtũkoretwo tũrĩ aaganu na tũkarema, tũkahutatĩra maathani maku na mawatho maku.
we have sinned, and have dealt iniquitously, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, and have turned aside from Thy commandments and from Thine ordinances;
6 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.
neither have we hearkened unto Thy servants the prophets, that spoke in Thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 “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.
Unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither Thou hast driven them, because they dealt treacherously with Thee.
8 Atĩrĩrĩ Wee Jehova, ithuĩ na athamaki aitũ, na anene aitũ na maithe maitũ tũiyũrĩtwo nĩ thoni nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa tũkwĩhĩirie.
O LORD, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee.
9 Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ wa tha na nĩarekanagĩra, o na gũkorwo ithuĩ nĩtũmũremeire;
To the Lord our God belong compassions and forgivenesses; for we have rebelled against Him;
10 tũtiathĩkĩire Jehova Ngai witũ kana tũkarũmia mawatho make marĩa aatũheire na tũnua twa anabii, ndungata ciake.
neither have we hearkened to the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.
11 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.
Yea, all Israel have transgressed Thy law, and have turned aside, so as not to hearken to Thy voice; and so there hath been poured out upon us the curse and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against Him.
12 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.
And He hath confirmed His word, which He spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
13 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.
As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet have we not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in Thy truth.
14 Jehova ndaatithirie gũtũrehere mwanangĩko ũcio, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ mũthingu maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga; no, ithuĩ tũtiigana kũmwathĩkĩra.
And so the LORD hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all His works which He hath done, and we have not hearkened to His voice.
15 “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.
And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought Thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten Thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 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.
O Lord, according to all Thy righteousness, let Thine anger and Thy fury, I pray Thee, 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 are become a reproach to all that are about us.
17 “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.
Now therefore, O our God, hearken unto the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause Thy face to shine upon Thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
18 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.
O my God, incline Thine ear, and hear; open Thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city upon which Thy name is called; for we do not present our supplications before Thee because of our righteousness, but because of Thy great compassions.
19 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.”
O Lord, hear, O Lord, forgive, O Lord, attend and do, defer not; for Thine own sake, O my God, because Thy name is called upon Thy city and Thy people.'
20 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,
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;
21 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.
yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, approached close to me about the time of the evening offering.
22 Nake akĩndaarĩria atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ Danieli, rĩu ndoka ngũhe ũmenyo na ũtaũku.
And he made me to understand, and talked with me, and said: 'O Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding.
23 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:
At the beginning of thy supplications a word went forth, and I am come to declare it; for thou art greatly beloved; therefore look into the word, and understand the vision.
24 “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.
Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to forgive iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint the most holy place.
25 “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.
Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto one anointed, a prince, shall be seven weeks; and for threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with broad place and moat, but in troublous times.
26 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.
And after the threescore and two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and be no more; and the people of a prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; but his end shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 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.’”
And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and upon the wing of detestable things shall be that which causeth appalment; and that until the extermination wholly determined be poured out upon that which causeth appalment.'
