< 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, which 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 understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
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 YHWH Elohim, to seek by prayer and supplication, 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 YHWH my Elohim, and made my confession, and said, O YHWH, the great and dreadful El, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
5 nĩtwĩhĩtie na tũgeka ũũru. Nĩtũkoretwo tũrĩ aaganu na tũkarema, tũkahutatĩra maathani maku na mawatho maku.
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
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, which spake 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.
O YHWH, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, 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 of their trespass that they have trespassed against 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 YHWH, 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 YHWH our Elohim belong mercies and forgivenesses, though 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 obeyed the voice of YHWH our Elohim, 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, 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 Elohim, because 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 words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for 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 made we not our prayer before YHWH our Elohim, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
14 Jehova ndaatithirie gũtũrehere mwanangĩko ũcio, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai witũ nĩ mũthingu maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga; no, ithuĩ tũtiigana kũmwathĩkĩra.
Therefore hath YHWH watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for YHWH our Elohim is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not 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 YHWH our Elohim, 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 YHWH, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine 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 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 Elohim, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for YHWH '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 Elohim, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine 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.
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 YHWH, hear; O YHWH, forgive; O YHWH, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my Elohim: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
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 whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before YHWH my Elohim for the holy mountain of my Elohim;
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, whiles 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.
22 Nake akĩndaarĩria atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ Danieli, rĩu ndoka ngũhe ũmenyo na ũtaũku.
And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and 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 the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider 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 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.
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 understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even 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 threescore 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 the end thereof 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 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 desolator.
