< Daniel 9 >

1 Darius mwet Mede, su wen natul Xerxes, el pa leumi tokosrai lun Babylonia.
In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the offspring of the Medes, who ruled over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
2 In yac se oemeet in pacl el leum ah, nga lutlut ke book mutal uh, ac nunku na ke yac itngoul ma acn Jerusalem ac musalla uh, oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel mwet palu Jeremiah.
in year one of his reign, I, Daniel, understood in the books the number of the years, concerning the word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah, the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would be completed in seventy years.
3 Ac nga arulana moniyukla in pre nu sin Leum God, ac kwafe nu sel, ac oru lalo luk, nukum nuknuk yohk eoa, ac muta in apat.
And I set my face to the Lord, my God, to ask and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
4 Nga pre nu sin LEUM GOD luk, ac fahkak nu sel ma koluk lun mwet luk. Nga fahk, “Leum God, kom fulatlana, ac kut akfulatye kom. Kom pwayena ke wuleang lom, ac akkalemye lungse kawil lom nu selos su lungse kom ac oru ma kom sapkin.
And I prayed to the Lord, my God, and I confessed, and I said, “I beg you, O Lord God, great and terrible, preserving the covenant and mercy for those who love you and keep your commandments.
5 “Kut oru ma koluk, moul lasr arulana koluk, ac orekma lasr sesuwos. Kut tia oru ma kom sap kut in oru, ac forla liki ma kom akkalemye nu sesr mu ma pwaye.
We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we acted impiously and have withdrawn, and we have turned aside from your commandments as well as your judgments.
6 Kut tia porongo pusren mwet kulansap lom mwet palu, su kaskas ke Inem nu sin tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, mwet matu lasr somla, ac nu sin mutunfacl se inge nufon.
We have not obeyed your servants, the prophets, who have spoken in your name to our kings, our leaders, our fathers, and all the people of the land.
7 O Leum, kom oru na ma pwaye pacl e nukewa, a kut oru na ma su akmwekinye kut sifacna. Aok, yokna nu sesr su muta in Judea ac Jerusalem, ac nu sin mwet Israel nukewa su kom akfahsryelik in muta in acn apkuran ac acn loessula ke sripen elos tia inse pwaye nu sum.
To you, O Lord, is justice, but to us is confusion of face, just as it is on this day for the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, for those who are near and those who are far off, in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of their iniquities by which they have sinned against you.
8 Tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, oayapa mwet matu lasr su somla, elos oru na mwe akmwekin ac orekma koluk lain kom, LEUM GOD.
O Lord, to us belongs confusion of face: to our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, who have sinned.
9 Kom pakoten ac ku na in nunak munas, kut finne likkeke nu sum.
But to you, the Lord our God, is mercy and atonement, for we have withdrawn from you,
10 Kut tiana porongekom, O LEUM GOD lasr, ke kom fahk mu kut in moul fal nu ke ma sap ma kom ase nu sesr sin mwet kulansap lom mwet palu.
and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord, our God, so as to walk in his law, which he established for us by his servants, the prophets.
11 Israel nufon kunausla ma sap lom, ac tia lungse lohng ma kom fahk. Kut orekma koluk lain kom, pwanang kom ase mwe selnga nu facsr ma simla in Ma Sap lal Moses, mwet kulansap lom.
And all Israel has transgressed your law and has turned away, not listening to your voice, and so the condemnation and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses, servant of God, has rained down upon us, because we have sinned against him.
12 Kom oru oana ma kom tuh fahk mu kom ac oru nu sesr, ac nu sin mwet kol lasr. Kom sang kalya nu sin Jerusalem yohk liki siti nukewa saya fin faclu,
And he has fulfilled his words, which he has spoken over us and over our leaders who judged us, that he would lead over us a great evil, such as has never before existed under all of heaven, according to what has been done in Jerusalem.
13 ac ase nu sesr kain in kaiyuk nukewa ma aketeyuki in Ma Sap lal Moses. A nwe ingena, O LEUM GOD lasr, kut tia pacna srike in akinsewowoye kom, in forla liki ma koluk lasr, ac fahsr tukun ma pwaye lom.
Just as it has been written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come upon us, and we did not entreat your face, O Lord our God, so that we might turn back from our iniquities and consider your truth.
14 Kom, O LEUM GOD lasr, tuh akola kom in kalyei kut, ac kom oru oana, mweyen kom oru na ma pwaye in pacl nukewa, a kut tia porongekom.
And the Lord kept watch over the evil and has led it over us; the Lord, our God, is just in all his works, which he has accomplished, for we have not listened to his voice.
15 “O Leum God lasr, kom akkalemye ku lom ke kom use mwet lom liki acn Egypt, ac ku lom uh srakna esamyuk. Kut orekma koluk, ac oru ma sutuu.
And now, O Lord, our God, who has led your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and has made yourself a name in accordance with this day: we have sinned, we have done wrong.
16 Kom tuh loangekutla in pacl somla, ke ma inge nimet kom sruokyana toasr lom sin acn Jerusalem. Siti se inge ma lom, eol mutal sum. Mwet nukewa in facl atulani nu sesr elos oru acn Jerusalem ac mwet lom mwe aksruksruk ke sripen ma koluk lasr ac ouiya koluk su mwet matu lasr somla elos tuh oru.
O Lord, for all your righteousness, turn away, I beg you, your anger and your fury from your city, Jerusalem, and from your holy mountain. For, because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are a reproach to all who surround us.
17 O God, lohng pre luk ac mwe kwafe luk. Sifilpa folokonak Tempul lom su tuh kunausyukla. Sifilpa folokonak, tuh mwet nukewa fah etu lah kom God.
Now, therefore, heed, O God, the prayer of your servant and his requests, and reveal your face over your sanctuary, which is desolate, for your own sake.
18 Porongekut, O God. Ngetma nu sesr, ac liye mwe ongoiya su oan facsr inge, ac keok lun siti se su us Inem. Kut pre nu sum mweyen kom pakoten, ac tia mweyen ma kut oru uh pwaye.
Incline your ear, O my God, and hear, open your eyes and see our desolation and the city over which your name is invoked. For it is not through our justifications that we offer requests before your face, but through the fullness of your compassion.
19 O Leum, porongekut. O Leum, nunak munas nu sesr. O Leum, lohng pre lasr, ac kasrekut! Ac kom in tia pahtlac, tuh mwet nukewa in etu lah kom God. Siti se inge ac mwet inge ma lom.”
Heed, O Lord. Be pleased, O Lord. Turn and act. Do not delay, for your own sake, O my God, because your name is invoked over your city and over your people.”
20 Nga tafwelana pre luk, ac fahkak ma koluk luk ac lun mwet luk Israel, ac kwafe sin LEUM GOD luk tuh Elan folokonak Tempul mutal lal.
And while I was still speaking and praying and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people, Israel, and offering my prayers in the sight of my God, on behalf of the holy mountain of my God,
21 Ke nga pre ah, Gabriel, su nga tuh liye pac in aruruma se meet ah, el sohkma ac tuhwi yen se ma nga tu we ah. Pacl se el sunyu inge pacl in orek kisa in eku ah.
as I was still speaking in prayer, behold, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 El fahk nu sik, “Daniel, nga tuku in sot nu sum lalmwetmet ac etauk.
And he instructed me, and he spoke to me and said, “Now, Daniel, I have come forth to teach you and to help you understand.
23 Ke kom tuh mutawauk in kwafe sin God, El tuh topuk kom. El lungse kom, na pa nga tuku in fahkot top lal ke kwafe lom an. Lohang nu ke ma nga ac fahk inge, ac nga fah aketeya aruruma sac.
At the beginning of your prayers, the message came forth, yet I have come to explain it to you because you are a man who is seeking. Therefore, you must pay close attention to the message and understand the vision.
24 “Itkosr pacl itngoul yac pa lusen pacl se ma God El oakiya mu ac fah aksukosokyeyuk mwet lom ac siti mutal sac liki ma koluk ac ma fohkfok uh. Ma koluk uh ac fah tuleyukla, ac nununku suwohs ac fah oakwuki ma pahtpat, tuh aruruma sac ac kas in palu sac in fah akpwayeiyuk, ac Tempul mutal sac in fah sifil kisaiyukla.
Seventy weeks of years are concentrated on your people and on your holy city, so that transgression shall be finished, and sin shall reach an end, and iniquity shall be wiped away, and so that everlasting justice shall be brought in, and vision and prophecy shall be fulfilled, and the Saint of saints shall be anointed.
25 Esamya ma inge, ac kalem kac: Liki pacl se sapkinyuk in sifil musaiyuk Jerusalem ah nwe ke el su mosrweyukla ac tuku, yac itkosr pacl itkosr ac fah somla. Acn Jerusalem ac fah sifil musaiyukla, na ac oasr inkanek we ac kalkal kulana loangeyen siti uh, ac siti sac ac fah oanna nwe ke yac itkosr pacl onngoul luo somla, tusruktu in pacl se inge ac fah pus na mwe lokoalok.
Therefore, know and take heed: from the going forth of the word to build up Jerusalem again, until the Christ leader, there will be seven weeks of years, and sixty-two weeks of years; and the wide path will be built again, and the walls, in a time of anguish.
26 Ac ke safla pacl sac, na el su mosrweyukla inge ac fah anwuki ke wangin mwatal. Siti sac ac Tempul ac fah kunausyukla sin mwet mweun lun sie mwet kol na ku, su ac utyak mweuni ac sruokya. Pacl safla sac ac fah tuku oana sie sronot, ac use mweun ac kunausten su God El akoela uh.
And after sixty-two weeks of years, the Christ leader will be slain. And the people who have denied him will not be his. And the people, when their leader arrives, will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will be devastation, and, after the end of the war, the desolation will be set up.
27 Mwet leum sac ac fah oru sie wulela na ku nu sin mwet puspis ke yac itkosr, ac ke tafu yac itkosr inge ac somla uh, el ac fah kutongya kisa ac mwe sang in tia sifil orek. Mwe Aksangeng na Upa ac fah mau fili fin acn fulat ke Tempul uh, na ac oanna we nwe ke na mwet se ma filiya uh el sun safla se ma God El akoela nu sel.”
But he will confirm a covenant with many for one week of years; and for half of the week of years, victim and sacrifice will nearly cease; but there will be in the temple the abomination of desolation. And the desolation will continue even to the consummation and the end.”
