Danyèl 9
1 Lè sa a, wa Dariyis, moun peyi Medi, pitit wa Egzèsès la, t'ap mache sou ennan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Babilòn.
In the first year of Darius the son of Achashverosh, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
2 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.
In the first year of his reign, I Daniel searched in the books for understanding concerning the number of the years whereof the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would let pass full seventy years over the ruins of Jerusalem.
3 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.
And I directed my face unto the Lord God, to ask by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and in sackcloth, and ashes.
4 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.
And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepeth the covenant and kindness to those that love him, and to those that keep his commandments:
5 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.
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, and have departed from thy commandments and from thy ordinances;
6 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.
Nor have we hearkened unto 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.
7 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.
Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us belongeth the shame of face, as it is this day, —to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, those that are near, and those that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass which they have trespassed against thee.
8 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.
O Lord, to us belongeth the shame of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers; because we have sinned against thee.
9 Ou menm Seyè, Bondye nou, ou gen bon kè, ou konn padonnen paske nou menm nou te vire do ba ou.
To the Lord our God belong mercies and pardonings; for we have rebelled against him;
10 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.
And we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through means of his servants the prophets.
11 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.
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have departed so as not to obey thy voice: therefore was poured out over us the curse, with the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God; because we had sinned against him.
12 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.
And he hath accomplished his words, which he had spoken concerning us, and concerning our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil, which was never done under the whole heaven as it hath been done in Jerusalem.
13 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.
As it is written in the law of Moses; all this evil came over us: yet offered we not any entreaty before the Lord our God, to return from our iniquities, and to become intelligent in thy truth.
14 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.
Therefore did the Lord watch over the evil, and he brought it upon us; for the Lord our God is righteous because of all his deeds which he hath done; but we have not obeyed his voice.
15 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.
And now, O Lord our God, who hast brought forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thyself a [great] name, as it is this day: we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 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.
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 through our sins, and through the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all who are round about us.
17 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.
And now listen, O our God, to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for the sake of the Lord.
18 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.
Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear; open thy eyes, and look on our desolations, and the city whereupon thy name is called: for not [relying] on our acts of righteousness do we present humbly our supplications before thee, but [relying] on thy great mercies.
19 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.
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do it; delay it not; for thy own sake, O my God; for thy name is called upon thy city and upon thy people.
20 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.
And while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication humbly before the Lord my God because of the holy mountain of my God:
21 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.
Yea, while I was yet speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came, flying swiftly, near me about the time of the evening oblation.
22 Li vini, li pale avè m'. Li di m' konsa: -Danyèl, koulye a mwen vin la a pou m' ede ou konprann mesaj la.
And he gave me understanding, and spoke with me, and said, O Daniel, now am I come forth to make thee intelligent with understanding.
23 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.
At the beginning of thy supplications the word went forth, and I am come to tell it; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and have understanding of the appearance.
24 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.
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to close up the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy thing.
25 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.
Know therefore and comprehend, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed the prince will be seven weeks: and during sixty and two weeks will it be again built with streets and ditches [around it], even in the pressure of the times.
26 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.
And after the sixty and two weeks will an anointed one be cut off without a successor to follow him: and the city and the sanctuary will the people of the prince that is coming destroy; but his end will come in a violent overthrow; but until the end of the war devastations are decreed [against it].
27 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.
And he will make a strong covenant with the many for one week; and in the half of the week will he cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and this because of the prevalence of the abominations which bringeth devastation, and until destruction and what is decreed shall be poured out upon the waster.
