Danyèl 9
1 Nan premye ane Darius, fis a Assuérus, Mèd la, ki te vin wa sou wayòm a Kaldeyen yo—
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the offspring of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans—
2 nan premye ane a règn pa li a, mwen menm, Daniel, mwen te konprann selon liv yo, nonb dèzane selon pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie, pwofèt la, pou ta fè akonplisman dezolasyon a Jérusalem yo, menm swasann-dis ane yo.
in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years about which the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the prophet for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.
3 Konsa, mwen te chache fas Senyè Bondye a, pou jwenn Li nan lapriyè ak siplikasyon, fè jèn ak twal sak ak sann.
I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
4 Mwen te priye a SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an. Mwen te konfese e mwen te di: “O SENYÈ, Gran Bondye ki etonnan la, ki kenbe akò ak mizerikòd li pou sila ki renmen Li, e ki swiv kòmandman Li yo,
I prayed to the LORD my God, and made confession, and said, “Oh, Lord, the great and dreadful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments,
5 nou te peche; nou te komèt inikite. Nou te aji ak mechanste e nou te fè rebèl, jiskaske nou vire kite kòmandman Ou yo ak règleman Ou yo.
we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your precepts and from your ordinances.
6 Anplis, nou pa t koute sèvitè Ou yo, pwofèt yo, ki te pale nan non Ou, a wa nou yo, prens nou yo, papa zansèt nou yo, ak tout moun peyi a.
We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 Ladwati apatyen a Ou menm, O Senyè! Men a nou menm, gwo wont parèt byen klè, jan li ye jis rive nan jou sa a; a moun Juda yo, sila k ap viv Jérusalem, ak tout Israël yo, sila ki rete pre ak sila ki lwen, nan tout peyi kote Ou te chase yo ale akoz zak enfidèl ke yo te komèt kont Ou yo.
“Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of face, as it is today; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near and who are far off, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
8 O Senyè, gwo wont ak twoub byen klè se akoz nou, ak wa nou yo, prens nou yo, ak papa zansèt nou yo, akoz yo te peche kont Ou.
Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 A Senyè Bondye nou an, se Mizerikòd ak padon akoz nou te fè rebèl kont Li.
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
10 Ni nou pa t obeyi vwa SENYÈ Bondye nou an, pou mache nan enstriksyon ke Li te mete devan nou pa sèvitè Li yo, pwofèt yo.
We have not obeyed the LORD our God’s voice, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Anverite tout Israël te transgrese lalwa Ou a, te vire akote e pa t obeyi vwa Ou. Konsa, malediksyon te vide sou nou, ansanm ak sèman ki ekri nan lalwa Moïse, sèvitè Bondye a, paske nou te peche kont Li.
Yes, all Israel have transgressed your law, turning aside, that they should not obey your voice. “Therefore the curse and the oath written in the law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, for we have sinned against him.
12 Li te konfime pawòl ke Li te pale kont nou, e kont chèf ki te gouvène nou yo, pou fè vini sou nou yon gwo malè. Paske anba tout syèl la, pa t janm gen okenn bagay ki te fèt tankou sa ki te fèt Jérusalem nan.
He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing on us a great evil; for under the whole sky, such has not been done as has been done to Jerusalem.
13 Jan sa ekri nan lalwa Moïse la, tout malè sa a te vini sou nou. Malgre sa, nou pa t chache gras a SENYÈ la, Bondye nou an, ak desizyon pou vire kite inikite nou, e vin okipe nou de verite pa Ou a.
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we have not entreated the favor of the LORD our God, that we should turn from our iniquities and have discernment in your truth.
14 Akoz sa, SENYÈ a te kenbe malè nan men l, e te pote li sou nou. Paske, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, dwat nan tout zèv ke Li fè yo, men nou pa t obeyi vwa li.
Therefore the LORD has watched over the evil, and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does, and we have not obeyed his voice.
15 Konsa, Senyè, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen pèp Ou a sòti nan peyi Egypte la ak yon men pwisan, e te fè yon non pou Ou menm, jan sa ye nan jou sa a, nou te peche. Nou te fè mechanste.
“Now, Lord our God, who has brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten yourself renown, as it is today, we have sinned. We have done wickedly.
16 O Senyè, an akò ak tout zak ladwati Ou yo, kite gwo kòlè ak mekontantman Ou vire kite vil Ou a, Jérusalem, mòn sen Ou an. Paske, akoz peche nou yo ak inikite a papa zansèt nou yo, Jérusalem ak pèp Ou a te vin yon repwòch pou tout sila ki antoure nou yo.
Lord, according to all your righteousness, please let your anger and your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around us.
17 Pou sa, koulye a, Bondye nou an, koute lapriyè a sèvitè Ou a, ak siplikasyon li yo, e pou koz a Ou menm, O Senyè, kite fas ou briye sou sanktiyè dezole Ou a.
“Now therefore, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his petitions, and cause your face to shine on your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
18 O Bondye mwen an, apiye zòrèy W pou tande! Ouvri zye ou pou wè dezolasyon nou yo, ak vil la ki rele pa non Ou a; paske nou p ap prezante siplikasyon nou yo akoz okenn dwati de nou menm, men akoz gran mizerikòd Ou.
My God, turn your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by your name; for we do not present our petitions before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercies’ sake.
19 O Senyè, koute! O Senyè, padone! O Senyè, tande e aji! Pou koz pa Ou, O Bondye mwen an, pa fè reta. Paske vil Ou a, ak pèp Ou a rele pa non Ou.”
Lord, hear. Lord, forgive. Lord, listen and do. Do not defer, for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.”
20 Alò, pandan mwen t ap pale, e fè priyè a, pou m konfese peche m yo, ak peche a pèp mwen an, Israël, ak prezante siplikasyon mwen yo devan SENYÈ Bondye mwen an, pou mòn sen a Bondye mwen an—
While I was speaking, 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 pandan mwen te toujou ap pale nan lapriyè a— alò, nonm nan Gabriel, ke m te wè nan vizyon oparavan an, te vole rive byen vit kote mwen, e te touche mwen vè lè pou ofrann nan aswè a.
yes, while I was speaking in prayer—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 offering.
22 Li te ban mwen enstriksyon. Li te pale ak mwen e te di: “O Daniel, koulye a, mwen vin parèt pou bay sajès ak bon konprann.
He instructed me and talked with me, and said, “Daniel, I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding.
23 Nan kòmansman siplikasyon ou yo, lòd la te fin pase, e mwen vini pou di Ou, paske ou se byeneme. Konsa, prete atansyon a mesaj la pou vin konprann vizyon an.
At the beginning of your petitions the commandment went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter and understand the vision.
24 “Swasann-dis semèn te òdone pou pèp ou ak vil sen ou an, pou fini ak transgresyon, pou mete fen a peche yo, pou rekonsilye inikite yo, pou mennen fè antre ladwati ki san fen, pou mete so sou vizyon ak pwofesi, e pou onksyone lye ki sen pase tout la.
“Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
25 “Konsa, ou ta dwe konnen e disène ke depi yon dekrè vin pibliye pou restore e rebati Jérusalem jis rive nan Onksyone a, Prens lan, va gen sèt semèn ak swasann-de semèn. Li va rebati ankò, ak plas la, e ak kanal ranpa a, menm nan yon tan ki twouble.
“Know therefore and discern that from the going out of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem to the Anointed One, the prince, will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be built again, with street and moat, even in troubled times.
26 Epi apre swasann-de semèn yo, Onksyone a va koupe retite nèt, e Li p ap gen anyen. E pèp a prens la ki vini an, va detwi vil ak sanktyè a. Epi lafen li an va vini ak yon inondasyon ak lagè jis rive nan lafèn. Konsa, dezolasyon yo deja detèmine.
After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One will be cut off, and will have nothing. The people of the prince who come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will be with a flood, and war will be even to the end. Desolations are determined.
27 Li va fè yon akò ki byen fò avèk anpil moun pandan yon semèn. Men nan mitan semèn nan, li va fè sispann sakrifis ak ofrann sereyal yo. Epi sou zèl abominasyon yo, va vini yon moun ki fè dezolasyon. Men lè l rive nan fen an nèt, ki deja detèmine, lakòlè va vide sou sila ki fè dezolasyon an.”
He will make a firm covenant with many for one week. In the middle of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. On the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate; and even to the decreed full end, wrath will be poured out on the desolate.”
