Daniyel 9
1 A shekara ta fari da mulkin Dariyus ɗan Zerzes (wanda yake Bamediye), wanda aka mai da shi sarki a masarautar Babiloniyawa
[Now I am going to tell you about what happened] when Darius, who was from the Mede people-group and who was the son of Xerxes, ruled as the King of Babylonia.
2 a shekara ta farko ta mulkinsa, ni, Daniyel na gane daga cikin littattafai, bisa ga maganar Ubangiji da aka faɗa wa annabi Irmiya, cewa zaman Urushalima kango zai kai shekara saba’in.
During the first year that he was the king, I, Daniel, was studying/reading the [holy] books/Scriptures the message that Yahweh had given to the prophet Jeremiah. In that message Jeremiah had written that Jerusalem would [be destroyed and] remain ruined for seventy years.
3 Sai na juya wurin Ubangiji Allah na roƙe shi ta wurin addu’a da koke-koke, cikin azumi, ina saye da tsummoki, na kuma zauna a cikin toka.
[After I read that], I pleaded to Yahweh my God [to help us], praying and (fasting/abstaining from eating food). [While doing that, I was wearing] rough cloth and [sitting in] ashes [to show that I was very sad about what was going to happen to us].
4 Na yi addu’a ga Ubangiji Allahna na furta laifina. “Ya Ubangiji, mai alfarma da kuma Allah mai banrazana, wanda yake cika alkawarinsa na ƙauna ga duk wanda ya ƙaunace shi ya kuma kiyaye dokokinsa,
I confessed [the sins that we had committed], and [this is what I] prayed: Lord, you are great and awesome! You have faithfully done what you said that you would do for us. You faithfully love those who love you and who do what you have commanded [that they should do].
5 mun yi zunubi muka kuma yi ba daidai ba. Mu mugaye ne da kuma’yan tawaye; mun juya wa umarninka da shari’unka baya.
But we [Israelis] have sinned. We have done things that are wrong. We have done wicked things, and we have rebelled [against you]. We have turned away from [obeying] your commands [DOU].
6 Ba mu saurari bayinka annabawa ba, waɗanda suka yi magana a sunanka ga sarakunanmu da masu mulkinmu da iyayenmu, da kuma dukan mutanen ƙasa.
Your prophets spoke for you [MTY], [giving your messages to] kings, to our other rulers, to our [other] ancestors, and to all the Israeli people, but we have refused to (pay attention to/heed) those prophets.
7 “Ubangiji, kai mai adalci ne, amma a yau kunya ta rufe mu, mutanen Yahuda da mutanen Urushalima da na dukan Isra’ila, waɗanda suke kusa da kuma nesa, a dukan ƙasashen da ka warwatsa mu saboda rashin amincinmu a gare ka.
Lord, you always do what is righteous/just/fair, but we have caused ourselves to be ashamed [IDM]. This is [still] true about all of the Israelis who live in Jerusalem and who live in other places in Judea. It is [also] true about all us Israelis whom you scattered, who [were taken to] other countries, some near [Israel] and some far away, because we were very unfaithful/disloyal to you.
8 Ya Ubangiji, mu da sarakunanmu, da masu mulkinmu da iyayenmu kunya ta rufe mu saboda mun yi maka zunubi.
Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
9 Ubangiji Allahnmu mai jinƙai ne, mai gafartawa ne kuma, ko da yake mun yi masa tawaye;
Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
10 ba mu yi biyayya ga Ubangiji Allahnmu ba, ba mu kuma kiyaye shari’unsa da ya ba mu ta wuri bayinsa annabawa ba.
Yahweh our God, when you gave your laws to your prophets who served you, and they told us to conduct our lives according to those laws, we did not (listen to/heed) you.
11 Dukan Isra’ila sun karya dokokinka suka kuma juya maka baya, sun ƙi yi maka biyayya. “Saboda haka la’anoni da rantsuwar hukunce-hukuncen da suke a rubuce a cikin Dokar Musa, bawan Allah, sun kama mu domin mun yi maka zunubi.
All [of us] Israeli people have disobeyed your laws, and we have turned away from [obeying] what you said. We have sinned against you. As a result, [you] have caused us to experience the terrible things that your servant Moses said/wrote [would happen to us] if we sinned against you.
12 Ka cika kalmomin da ka yi a kanmu da kuma a kan masu mulkinmu ta wurin kawo mana babban bala’i. A duniya duka ba a taɓa yin wani abu kamar yadda aka yi wa Urushalima ba.
You warned us and our rulers that you would punish Jerusalem severely by causing a great disaster there, a disaster that would be worse than any disaster that any other city had ever experienced, and you have done what you said that you would do.
13 Kamar yadda yake a rubuce cikin Dokar Musa, dukan wannan bala’i ya sauko a kanmu, duk da haka ba mu nemi tagomashin Ubangiji Allahnmu ta wurin barin aikatawa zunubanmu, mu kuma mai da hankali a kan gaskiyarka ba.
[You] punished us just like Moses wrote [that you would do]. But, Yahweh our God, we still have not tried, by turning away from our sinning and by heeding your truth, to persuade you to act mercifully toward us.
14 Ubangiji bai yi wata-wata wajen kawo mana bala’i ba, domin Ubangiji Allahnmu mai adalci ne a cikin dukan abin da yake yi; duk da haka ba mu yi masa biyayya ba.
So, because we did not obey you, you prepared to punish us, and [then] you did punish us, because you always do what is righteous/just/fair.
15 “Yanzu, ya Ubangiji Allahnmu, wanda ya fito da mutanensa daga Masar ta hannu mai ƙarfi wanda kuma ya yi wa kansa sunan da ya dawwama har yă zuwa yau, mun yi zunubi, mun yi abin da ba daidai ba.
O Lord our God, you brought your people out of Egypt by your great power [MTY], and by doing that you have caused people from that time until the present time to know that you are great [IDM] [even though] we have sinned and done wicked things.
16 Ya Ubangiji, ta wurin kiyaye dukan ayyukanka na adalci, ka huce daga fushinka da hukuncinka da ka yi a kan Urushalima, birninka, tudunka mai tsarki. Zunubinmu da laifofin iyayenmu sun mai da Urushalima da kuma mutanenka abin ba’a ga dukan waɗanda suke kewaye da mu.
Lord, Jerusalem is your city, and [your temple was built there] on your sacred hill. Now all the people who live in nearby [countries/nations] despise Jerusalem and [us] your people because of our sins and because of the evil things that our ancestors did. But [now], because you do what is righteous/just, [we ask you to] not be angry with Jerusalem any longer.
17 “Yanzu, ya Allahnmu, ka ji addu’o’i da koke-koken bayinka. Saboda sunanka, ya Ubangiji, ka duba da rahama wurinka mai tsarki da ya zama kango.
O Lord our God, listen to what I am praying and pleading [for you to do]. (For your own sake/In order that people will know that you are very great), act kindly [IDM] concerning your temple, which was destroyed [by the armies of Babylonia].
18 Ka kasa kunne, ya Allah, ka kuma ji; ka buɗe idanunka ka kuma ga yadda birninka ya zama kango, birnin da yake ɗauke da Sunanka. Ba cewa muna roƙonka saboda mu masu adalci ba ne, amma saboda girman jinƙanka.
My God, listen [to my prayer]. Look [at us] and see our troubles, and see that this city that belongs to you [MTY] has been ruined/destroyed. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done what is right/good.
19 Ya Ubangiji, ka saurara! Ya Ubangiji ka gafarta! Ya Ubangiji, ka ji ka kuma yi wani abu! Saboda sunanka, ya Allahna, kada ka yi jinkiri, domin da sunanka ake kiran birninka da jama’arka.”
Lord, listen [to us]! Lord, forgive us! Lord, this city and these people belong to you, so [we plead with you to] heed what we are saying and act [to help us] right now, (for your own sake/in order that people will know that you are very great)!
20 Yayinda da nake magana da addu’a, ina furta zunubina da zunubin mutanena Isra’ila ina miƙa koke-kokena ga Ubangiji Allahna saboda tudunsa mai tsarki,
I continued praying and confessing the sins that my people and I had committed, and pleading with Yahweh my God that he would restore [the temple on] the sacred hill [in Jerusalem].
21 yayinda nake cikin addu’a, sai Jibra’ilu, mutumin nan da na gani a wahayin da ya wuce, ya zo wurina gaggauce wajen lokacin yin hadaya ta yamma.
While I was praying, Gabriel, the angel/one whom I had seen in the vision previously, came flying rapidly to me, at the time in the evening when [the priests] offered sacrifices.
22 Ya umarce ni ya kuma ce mini, “Daniyel, yanzu na zo domin in ba ka hikima da ganewa.
He said to me, “Daniel, I have come to you to enable you to understand [DOU] clearly [the message that God gave to Jeremiah].
23 Da zarar ka fara addu’a, an amsa, wadda na zo in faɗa maka, gama ana ƙaunar ka sosai. Saboda haka, ka yi lura da saƙon ka kuma fahimci wahayin.
When you began to plead [with God], he gave me a message [to pass on to you]. He loves you very much, so [he has sent me] to tell you what he said to me. So [now] (pay attention/listen carefully) in order that you may understand the meaning of what he revealed [to Jeremiah].
24 “An ƙayyade wa jama’arka da tsattsarkan birninka shekara ɗari huɗu da tasa’in domin a kawo ƙarshen laifi da zunubi, domin a yi kafarar laifi, sa’an nan a shigo da adalci madawwami, a rufe wahayi da annabci, a tsarkake haikali.
[God] has determined/declared that there will be 490 years until he frees/saves your people from [the guilt of] their sins and to atone for the evil things that they have done. Then [God] will rule everyone justly, and he will do that forever. And [what you saw in] the vision and what [Jeremiah] prophesied will (come true/be fulfilled), and the sacred temple will be dedicated [to God again].
25 “Sai ka sani ka kuma fahimci wannan; Tun daga sa’ad da aka kafa doka don a maido a kuma sāke gina Urushalima har sai Shafaffen nan, mai mulki, ya zo, za a yi shekara arba’in da tara, da shekara ɗari huɗu da talatin da huɗu. Za a sāke gina ta a yi mata tituna da mafaka.
You need to know and understand this: There will be 49 years from the time that [the king] commands that Jerusalem should be rebuilt until the leader/king that God has chosen will come. Then 434 years later, Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and it will have streets and will have a (moat/deep ditch filled with water) around it [to protect the city]. But that will be a time when [God’s people] will have [a lot of] troubles/difficulties/suffering.
26 Bayan shekara ɗari huɗu da talatin da huɗu, za a datse Shafaffen nan zai kuma kasance ba shi da kome. Mutanen mai mulkin za su zo su hallaka birnin da kuma wuri mai tsarki. Ƙarshen zai zo kamar rigyawa. Yaƙi zai ci gaba har ƙarshe, a kuma hallakar kamar yadda aka ƙaddara.
After those 434 years, the leader/king whom God has appointed will be killed [when it seems that] he will have accomplished nothing (unjustly/without having done anything wrong). After that, the temple will be destroyed by [the army of] a powerful ruler. The city and the temple will be destroyed like a flood [MET] [destroys everything]. That will be the beginning of the war and destruction that [God] has decreed [will happen].
27 Zai tabbatar da alkawari da mutane masu yawa har na shekara bakwai. A tsakiyar bakwai ɗin nan ɗaya zai kawo ƙarshen duk wata hadaya da baiko. Kuma a kusurwar haikali zai sa abin ƙyama mai kawo hallaka, har sai ƙarshen da aka ƙaddara ya auko wa wanda ya sa abin ƙyama.”
That ruler will make a strong agreement with many people. He will promise to do for seven years what he has said in that agreement. But when that time is half finished, he will prevent [priests from] giving any more offerings and sacrifices [to God]. A disgusting idol will be put on the highest part of the temple, and it will stay there until [God] gets rid of the one who put it there, which is what he said that he would do.”
